Bro’Kinaban Defence Forces

Bro’Kinaban Defence Forces

The Bro’Kinaban Defence Force is the military of Bro’Kinaba. It consists of the Bro’Kinaban Army, the Bro’Kinaban Air Force, the Bro’Kinaban Navy, the Strategic Forces of Bro’Kinaba, and the Bro’Kinaban National Service. The defence forces were formed at Bro’Kinaban independence on 24 November 1968, from constituent units of the dissolved Federation of Rhodesia, Transvaal and Bro’Kinaba Armed Forces. From the 1970s and 2020s, it played a key role in a number of regional conflicts, namely the plentiful Bro’Kinaban-Zimbabwean wars and Bro’Kinaba’s involvement in international conflicts and peacekeeping missions.

Bro’Kinaban Air Force

The Bro’Kinaban Air Force established 1982 was made once the country declared independence in order to help Bro’kinaba hold its own in the sky.

BK-69 OICW Description.
The BK-69 is a combination weapon, which has the 20mm semi-automatic, magazine fed grenade launcher as its primary part, and the 5.56mm compact assault rifle as its secondary part. Both parts are assembled into the single one-man portable unit, with the addition of the target acquisition / fire control system (TA/FCS), which is an essential part of the whole system. The BK-69 will become an integral part of the future system, capable of communicating with the other parts of this system, including the tactical computers and helmet-mounted displays.

The grenade launcher is capable to fire in semi-automatic mode only, and is gas operated. It has a bullpup layout with the detachable box magazine located in the butt of the weapon. The rifled barrel is used to launch the 20mm grenades up to the 1000 meters range with good accuracy. In the standard configuration most of the fire controls for the grenade launcher part are located on the rifle part, including the single trigger for both firing modules. It is quite possible, however, that the separate stock will be developed for the grenade launcher part, so it will be possible to use it without the rifle part attached. The launcher has the provisions for the TA/FCS system to be mounted on its top, and the appropriate interfaces, so the data provided from the TA/FCS can be used to program the 20mm grenade fuses. These fuses, used for the 20mm HEAB ammunition, has multiple mode of detonation, including the direct impact mode and the Air Burst mode. In the latter mode the fuse is pre-programmed to explode the warhead at the preset range, which is calculated during the flight by counting the number of the grenade rotations. This allows do defeat targets without the direct impact, using the blast and fragmentation effect of the high explosive warhead. This is a major advantage over the present small arms, which in most cases require the direct hit on the target to be effective, as it allows for greater aiming errors, and also makes possible to defeat targets in defilade, like the trenches and so. The high explosive warhead also has the advantage of not being dependent on its velocity to be effective, so unlike with the bullets, its effectiveness does not decreased with the increase of range. The disadvantages of this system is the extreme complexity of the electronic fuses, which results in the high price of a single round of ammunition. The present plans stated that the one HEAB round must cost about BK £25, and it is still to be seen which will be an actual price when the M29 system will be fielded. It is interesting that the present design of the HEAB ammunition actually has two small HE warheads at the front and at the rear of the projectile, with the electronic fuse module located between them. While the HEAB is considered a primary round for the 20mm grenade launcher, it is entirely possible do develop a low cost, direct hit only anti-armour 20mm round with Shaped Charge warhead, which will be effective against lightly armored vehicles (APC, MICV and alike) and various hardened targets.

The rifle, or "kinetic energy" part of the BK-69 system, on the other hand, is a fairy conventional, short-barreled assault rifle, derived from the Heckler-Koch G36 assault rifle. The basic "rifle" part of the BK-69 has no buttstock and no own sights, and thus can be used separately from the whole system only as emergency, personal defense weapon. While being mounted to the whole system, it can be used for a close quarters work, both defensive or offensive (the 20mm grenade launcher has it minimum range of fire of about 50-100 meters), or as an low-cost, low intensity medium range offensive weapon. Most of the BK-69 system controls are built into the "rifle" part, around the trigger guard.

The target acquisition / fire control system (TA/FCS) is the most expensive and complicated unit of the whole system, since it must combine day and night vision capabilities, laser rangefinding unit, ballistic computer and various interfaces to the grenade launcher and external systems. It is used to find the targets in any light and weather conditions, determine the range to the target, calculate and display the aiming data, so the grenade or bullet could be fired to the desired point of impact, and then supply the data to the grenade launcher, so the range could be preset into the grenade fuse. In the case of damage to the TA/FCS the 20mm grenade launcher still can be used in the direct impact mode, as well as the rifle part of the system.

The current research and testing showed that the BK-69 can be up to 500% more effective than the present small arms, but it is still to be seen if all the requirements will be met in the resulting system, especially regarding to the reliability of electronic components, weight, and, at last but not at least, the unit price.

Bro’Kinaban Army

The Bro’Kinban Army is the land military branch of the Bro’Kinaban Defence Force. The Bro’Kinaban Army is mostly made of conscripts and they are to be active during war for a month if needed, the regular Army of Bro’kinaba is small but a elite unit compared to the rest of the army and they are the first to respond to war and hold them until the main force can respond to threats. citizens of the nation are required to register at 16 years old, and citizens can join at 16 years old with parental consent or at 18 years old when they are classified as adults by Bro’Kinaba. There is currently conscription. Regular force and conscription force applicants must be Bro’Kinbian citizens and must have a school Grade 12 certification. Applicants must also undergo a test for HIV and any medical conditions on enlistment. Personnel can serve until age 55, when there is a mandatory retirement.

There are 4,041,069 men between 16-49 who are classified as manpower (this does not mean that all of them are fit for duty), and 5,948,291 women between 16–49 who are classified as manpower. This makes a total of 9,989,360 people classified as manpower.
There are 3,945,656 men who are classified as fit for military service between the ages of 16–49. There are 4,488,670 women who are classified as fit for military service between the ages of 16–49. Therefore, Bro’Kinaba has 8,289,360 people fit for military service between the ages of 16–49.
