Small Arms

Name	Image	Origin	Type	Notes
Ekelhoc 941		Charnea	Semi-automatic pistol	Service pistol of the Charnean Army, chambered in .45 automatic.
KZ Ouzih		Onekawa-Nukanoa Charnea	Submachine gun	Kaokazuka copy of the Onekawan SMG.7, itself a licensed copy of the Yisraeli Uzi. Produced in large numbers in both wooden stock and folding metal stock variants between 1965 and 1985, spare parts are still produced at the Kaokazuka plant, although production has officially been halted with the submachine gun combat role due to be fully replaced by modern assault rifles. KZ Ouzih is still in service with vehicle crews, border guard units and reservists. Unlike the Onekawan and Yisraeli variants, the KZ Ouzih is chambered in .45 automatic.
AP-42		Elatia	Submachine gun	Purchased in large quantities from Elatia during the Ninvite War. Many were lost or destroyed in the conflict, while those that remained in Army stocks continued to be used by vehicle crews until being moved to storage in 2004. Many AP-42s in Charnean Army inventories have been re-issued to police units, exiting the military stockpiles.
K-48		Elatia	Battle rifle	Former standard issue service rifle of the Charnean Army between 1948 and 1963, retained in large numbers in storage and re-issued during the Ninvite War when additional units were purchased from Elatia. Modified K-48s remains in service as marksman rifles, and are commonly found in unmodified form with the border guards and reserve units. Chambered in 7.62×39mm.
AK-54		Elatia	Assault rifle	AK-54F is the primary service rifle of the Charnean Army, produced under license by the Kaokazuka corporation. Large stockpiles of the AK-54B and C variants are held in storage and issued to reserve units. AK-54M is purchased from Elatia and issued in small numbers to elite units of the Army. Similarly, small batches of the AK-54S variant are used by Charnean special forces. All AK-54 pattern rifles use steel-cased 7.62×39mm rounds.
Albarodan-63		Charnea	Assault rifle	Former service rifle of the Charnean Army from 1963-1981, now in primarily in storage. Design based on the Elatian K-48 semi-automatic rifle.
M76		Charnea	Marksman rifle	Originally based on a variant of the AK-54 chambered in 7.92x57mm, eventually developed into a designated marksman rifle. Utilizes different caliber ammunition from the AK-54, K-48 and Albarodan-63 rifles in order to avoid being pressed into service with the low accuracy steel-cased 7.62x39mm ammunition most commonly used for those systems.
PR.9		Onekawa-Nukanoa	Sniper rifle	Primary sniper rifle of the Charnean Army, using mainly by special forces units. Chambered in 8.58×70mm.
KZ Zabik	File:RPK machine gun with 45-round magazine on white background.jpg	Charnea	Light machine gun SAW	Kaokazuka light machine gun and squad automatic weapon based on the Elatian AK-54 design and similarly chambered in 7.62x39mm.

V-74		Elatia	Main battle tank	Both VA-74M2 and VA-74M3 variants are equipped by Charnean tank forces in significant numbers. A Charnean modernization package of the VA-74 exists, featuring a second generation thermal sight, commanders thermal viewer, and upgraded ERA. VA-74 variants are the most common battle tank in Charnean service.
Tizurdam		Mutul Charnea	Main battle tank	Variant of Mutulese T1 battle tank. Small numbers purchased from the Mutul, designated Tizurdam-M, are mostly identical to those produced under license by the Ikyan Corporation which are designated Tizurdam-I. A modernization program with improved optics and ERA protection, designated Tizurdam-IM, entered service in 2010 with most Tizurdam tanks being subsequently upgraded to the IM standard.
A84 Inabarom		Charnea	Infantry fighting vehicle	Most numerous armored vehicle in the Charnean Army's active units. Manufactured by the Ikyan Corporation since 1984. A standard variant armed with 20mm autocanon, a 90mm canon armed variant, an anti-tank variant fitted with a turreted A97A2 Tegere ATGM launcher, a mortar carrier variant and a command vehicle variant are all in active service across the mechanized units of the Charnean Army.
IBV-81		Elatia	Infantry fighting vehicle	Imported Elatian IFV, modified with turret capable of firing the Charnean A97A2 Tegere missile.
TAK-1		Mutul	Armored personnel carrier	Modern APC imported from the Mutul. In service as a custom variant requested by the ICA, featuring a modified design for improved performance in desert terrain and better mine protection.
Tihettan Tazoli		Zacapican Charnea	Armored personnel carrier	Copy of the Zacapine TNT armored vehicle acquired from Itayana, produced by the Ikyan Corporation under the designation Tihettan Tazoli ("Steel Box"). Primarily used in APC configuration, but also found in service as a self-propelled gun, anti-aircraft vehicle and commonly as a logistics support vehicle.
A45 Torka		Charnea	Armored car	Indigenous Charnean scout vehicle and armored car design of the mid 20th century. Produced in large numbers and retrofitted to equip modern vehicle weapons including ATGM launchers. Phased out as a combat vehicle from most active formations but still used by the ICA border guards, by active units as a scout vehicle, and kept in storage in large numbers.
UR-53		Mutul	General utility vehicle	Used in high readiness formations as a transport, logistics vehicle and scout car. Rejected for full adoption by all units of the ICA due to the preference of some units to convert unarmored civilian trucks to use in the same roles at much lesser expense.

Ahuriri Taqqimt		Onekawa-Nukanoa Charnea	Attack helicopter	Primary attack helicopter of the Charnean Army, armed with a 20mm canon and hardpoints capable of fitting unguided rocket pods as well as anti-tank and air-to-air missiles. Initially designed for the Royal Onekawa-Nukanoa Air Force, design was later rejected by the Onekawan government leading to an arrangement between the manufacturer Ahuriri Aerospace and the Charnean Army to set up production of the helicopter in Charnea.
W-3		Mutul	Utility helicopter	Multirole utility helicopter, utilized in ground attack and reconnaissance missions and as a light transport.
H-68		Elatia	Heavy lift transport helicopter	Primary heavy lift helicopter of the Army Air Service. Purchased from Elatia, which it is produced as a pirated copy of a Talaharan design.

Equipped in large numbers due to its versatility, favored by many the Air Service due to its lower cost of operations and better loiter time compared to the equivalent Nākahi II TF.1 jet aircraft.
