I thought it would be fun to make a list of all the weapons we know, love and make use of in >BLOC. It is never directly stated, but BLOC starts in the early 1960's and evidently progresses to the 1990's. As you progress in technology level/manufacturing capability, you receive new options for delivery of equipment.
If you're Soviet aligned, you receive the AK-47 from your Soviet Comrades.
If you're American aligned, you receive the M-14 from your American Pals.
If you have no friends or are just a proud independent country who don't need no super-power, you manufacture your own AK rip-off.
Need a reliable jet to defend yourself from the imperialists? The Soviets send you what is most likely a MiG-21
Communist insurgents giving you trouble? America sends some F-8 Crusaders to assist.
Can't get NATO or the Warsaw Pact to trust your pathetic nation with their new equipment? You attach some machine guns and dumb-bombs to an Antonov Biplane.
Your Red Army has progressed! Small arms just won't do it anymore for expanding the revolution. The Soviets supply you with T-62's
The Communist threat is expanding! You need heavier firepower. The Americans supply you with their new Patton tanks.
You've upset the super-powers and international sanctions are keeping you from importing new tank parts? Try to make your own copy of an old T-72.
The Cold War is over, the age of modern warfare is upon you. Buy a rebranded T-72B3 from the Russian Federation.
The coalition did some impressive work in Iraq, maybe if you use their equipment you can too! America is willing to supply M1A1 Abrams to any oppressive Middle-Eastern ally.
