List of equipment of the Vetokite Army

This article is about weapons and equipment. For details of uniforms and orders of dress, see Vetokite Army Uniform.

This is a list of equipment of the Vetokite Army currently in use. It includes current equipment such as small arms, combat vehicles, explosives, missile systems, engineering vehicles, logistical vehicles, vision systems, communication systems, aircraft, watercraft, artillery, air defence, transport vehicles, as well as future equipment and equipment being trialled.

The Vetokite Army is the principal land warfare force of the United Dominion, a part of Vetokite Armed Forces.

To meet its commitments, the equipment of the Army is periodically updated and modified. Programs exist to ensure the Army is suitably equipped for both current conflicts and expected future conflicts, with any shortcomings in equipment addressed as Urgent Operational Requirements (UOR), which supplements planned equipment programmes.

Infantry section equipment

Each rifle section typically consists of between 8-10 soldiers, depending on whether they are part of an armoured or motorised battalion. They are each commanded by a corporal assisted by a lance corporal acting as section second-in-command (2IC). The section is further subdivided into 2 fireteams. The section commander typically commands the Charlie Fire Team, while the 2IC commands the Delta Fire Team.

While equipment formations can be tailored as required by section and platoon commanders, infantry sections are usually issued with the following:

• Charlie Fire Team (4 men)
  • 1× Section Commander, Corporal (OR-4), armed with 1 LR7 rifle and 1 LP4 pistol
  • 1× Rifleman, Private (OR-1), armed with 1 LR7 rifle
  • 1× Grenadier, Private (OR-1), armed with 1 LR7 rifle and 1 L22 under-barrel grenade launcher
  • 1× Sharpshooter, Private (OR-1), armed with 1 LR7S rifle

• Delta Fire Team (4 men)
  • 1× Second-in-Command, Lance Corporal (OR-3), armed with 1 LR7 rifle and 1 LP4 pistol
  • 1× Rifleman, Private (OR-1), armed with 1 LR7 rifle
  • 1× Grenadier, Private (OR-1), armed with 1 LR7 rifle and 1 L22 under-barrel grenade launcher
  • 1× Machine Gunner, Private (OR-1), armed with 1 LR7G light-support weapon

The rifles are typically paired with the ELCAN SpecterOS 4× Lightweight Day Sight (LDS) with a mini-red dot sight (MRD) mounted on the top and a foregrip with an integrated bipod (grenadiers are not issued a foregrip/bipod because they have the L22 under-barrel grenade launcher in its place).

The section is also provided LM60 multi-purpose launchers, as well as multiple L109A2 high explosive grenades, and L83A1 smoke grenades. Specialist equipment such as claymore mines, L26A1 bangalore torpedoes, L12 combat shotguns, etc, can be carried if required.

Vision systems

• Sight Unit Small Arms, Trilux (SUSAT) or SpecterOS Lightweight Day Sights (LDS) - for use with the SA80.
• Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight (ACOG) - to be used with the L129A1 Sharpshooter.
• ARILLS (Assault Rifle In-Line Low Light Sight) - new infrared / thermal imaging sight for the SA80 A3.
• Laser Light Module (LLM Mk3) - used for aiming and illumination with the SA80 A3.
• Jim Compact Sight - new infared binoculars that can spot targets from more than 5km away, have both thermal and low-level light capabilities and can take HD pictures and video recordings. It also has a laser positioning system.
• Magnum Universal Night Sight (MUNS) - high-resolution clip-on night vision weapon sight for the L129A1 Sharpshooter. Detects and recognizes man-size targets in excess of 800 meters.
• FIST Thermal Sight (FTS) - thermal imaging scope designed to be mounted on rifles and light machine guns. Acquired as part of the MoD's Future Integrated Soldier Technology.
• Common Weapon Sight (CWS) - image-intensification night vision scope for weapons or handheld surveillance.
• Head mounted Night Vision System (HNVS), based on the American AN/PVS-14.
• Schmidt & Bender 5-25x56 PM II - 25x magnification day scope for the L115A3 Sniper Rifle.
• Sniper Thermal Imaging Capability (STIC) - thermal imagining sight that is mounted on the L115A3 and AX50.
• The command launch unit (CLU) of the Javelin anti-tank missile contains a sophisticated thermal imaging sensor that can double as a reconnaissance tool.

Communications equipment

• Personal Role Radio (PRR) - small, light UHF radio with a range of 500m and a battery life of 20 hours, issued to every member of the Infantry section.
• Janissary Combat Net Radio - secure HF, VHF, UHF voice and data communications.
• Falcon - joint tactical trunk communications system for the Land Environment.
• Reacher - is a mobile X-Band Satellite Ground Terminal that uses the Skynet V military satellite network
• Small SATCOM - the satellite ground terminal is reasonably lightweight (41 kg) and can be set up by a single trained operator in less than 30 minutes, also using the Skynet V network.
• Skynet - is a family of military communications satellites, they provide strategic and tactical communication services to the branches of the Vetokite Armed Forces, the Vetokite intelligence agencies, some UD government departments and agencies, and to allied governments.
• Tactical Satellite Communications (TACSAT) - use low orbiting communications satellites to relay radio signals between operators. The advantage to this method is the ability to communicate in remote areas out of reach of terrestrial transmitters.

Weapons

Pistols

Name	Origin	Type	Cartridge	Image	Details
F&M 8-54LFT LP4, LP5	Crookfur	Semi-automatic pistol	10x25mm Auto		Adopted as the new standard issue sidearm to replace the LP2 pistol. The LP4 is a dual-action sidearm used for close combat with a magazine capacity of 12 rounds (+1 in chamber); where deemed appropriate, it is the primary weapon of personnel working in operational staff appointments and vehicle commanders and carried as a backup weapon by frontline personnel. Although the pistol is slightly heavier than its predecessor, the added accuracy and power of the larger round were seen as acceptable trade-off's. The LP4 is domestically produced under license along with the LP5, a shortened variant rechambered for 9mm parabellum and issued to qualified firearms officers of the Vetokite police force.

Infantry rifles

E1-M61 LR7A1, LR7C	Crookfur	Assault rifle (LR7A1) Carbine (LR7C)	5.56×45mm NATO, 7.62x51mm NATO		Standard issue assault rifle, known as the LR7, with an effective range of 300 to 600 m (980 to 1,970 ft). Primarily fitted with either SUSAT, ACOG, Elcan SpecterOS 4X or Thermal Viper 2 sights. The Laser Light Module Mk3 and the L22 Under-barrel Grenade Launcher (UGL) can also be attached. Following issue in 2011 as the LR7 chambered for 7.62x51mm NATO, the rifle was reissued in 2016 as the LR7A1 chambered for the lighter 5.56x45mm NATO due to feedback. A shortened carbine variant, the LR7C, is used primarily by members of the Paraborne brigades and Vetokite special forces, as well as vehicle and helicopter crews for self-defence in addition to field provosts. Although produced under license, some additional modifications have been made over the years. According to the report for FY2022-2023 in March 2023, there was a total inventory of 1,500,00 LR7 variants and 750,000 LR7C variants across the VAF as a whole.
LR6	Vetok	Assault Rifle (LR6)	5.56×45mm NATO, 7.62x51mm NATO		Originally adopted in the early 1990's from the ISAC M-X rifle, the LR6 still soldiers on in the Vetokite army thanks to its modular design. With the assistance of the standard field kit, the LR6 can be converted between an assault rifle, carbine, designated marksman rifle, and even a light support weapon. Chambered for 7.62x51mm NATO, the LR6 can also be modified to accept different ammunition types depending on conversion. The LR6 is principally used by Vetokite special forces over the LR7 thanks to its modularity, although some examples are still in use with the Imperial Guardsmen for ceremonial purposes. The M-X platform is currently under consideration as the basis of a GPMG design to replace the LR7G LSW.

Long range rifles

E1-M63 LR7S	Crookfur	Designated marksman rifle	7.62x51mm NATO		Adopted at the same time as the LR7, the LR7S has been continually chambered in the original 7.62x51mm NATO since first issued due to its role. The weapon is issued as standard with an ACOG optical sight for long range engagements.
SR10R1 LS110, LS118	Anemos Major	Sniper rifle	.338 Lapua Magnum, 12.7x99mm NATO		Introduced in 2018, the LS110 and companion LS118 serve as precision engagement rifles in the Vetokite army.
