Chapter 237: The Ming Navy, the world's first in science and technology!

"Mr. Zhu, I heard that you are interested in your own J-6 or even J-5 fighters? Those are outdated aircraft, so you might as well buy our good Indian planes, which are cheap and of good quality, and are very suitable for the defense needs of the underdeveloped countries that you can sell to the underdeveloped countries. ”

Zhu Zilong: "......"

"If you buy our aircraft, we can also buy one and give one of our main battle tanks......"

Zhu Zilong: "......"

Obviously, Zhu Zilong once again refreshed the thickness of Ah Sange's face in his heart.

TM's, obviously the worst planes and tanks in the world, but insist on saying that it is stronger than the appearance of Chinese goods, and still think that Zhu Zilong, a Chinese, is brain-dead?

Zhu Zilong wiped the cold sweat beads on his forehead and gave a big red envelope to the logistics officer on the other side, and finally the other party not only shut up.

Next, the articles that were not superficial at the beginning began to be very cooperative, and began to enter into formal talks on important arms procurement projects.

"Actually, I just want to buy a few semi-decommissioned landing ships that Russia sells to your country......"

After drinking all the tea in his hand, Zhu Zilong finally said the goal of his trip.

As a traditional Soviet Union/Russian arms purchaser, India's three armed services have the highest proportion of Soviet and Russian weapons in the world, and it is said that this ratio exceeds 85%.

In the minds of Indians, there seems to be an unwritten rule, that is, as long as China purchases advanced weapons from Russia, India must follow closely with the purchase of more advanced models, and must not be left behind by China in terms of technology.

A few simple examples illustrate the problem: when China purchased the Su-30MKK, India immediately decided to buy more Su-30MKI, because the latter is said to be more technologically advanced than the former. In particular, its N011M passive phased array radar and AL-31FP thrust vectoring engine are more advanced than those of the Su-30MKK.

After learning that China was refitting the "Varyag" aircraft carrier on its own, India immediately signed a contract with Russia to renovate the "Vikramaditya" aircraft carrier, and at the same time introduced the MiG-29K carrier-based aircraft, which is said to be "more advanced" than the J-15 developed by China itself.

It is said that the first thing Indian weapons experts said after meeting with Russian arms dealers after learning that China was purchasing Russian weapons was: Is there a more advanced model than China? If you have one, take it out quickly.

Therefore, there is even a joke circulating in the international arms circles, that is, whenever Russia launches new weapons for export, it will try its best to encourage China to buy them, and sometimes even beg China to buy them, even if the price suffers a little loss, and it does not care.

Because the shrewd Russians understand that as long as China agrees to buy, it will not be long before the Indians who learn the news will soon come to the door, or the same sentence: is there anything more advanced than China?

At this time, the Russians laughed and immediately demanded a sky-high price, anyway, the Indians didn't care much about this, and the two sides would soon be able to finalize a large deal.

The little spread that Russia loses from China may be reaped from the Indians dozens of times.

In addition, the three are basically not very good at maintaining weapons, so the weapons often have to be semi-retired and buy new weapons again. Over the years, the weapons in the warehouse have almost not been sold directly as cabbage scrap metal.

It's a pity that Ah San's reputation for military industry has not been popular, so even if he sells it as scrap iron, few countries buy it.

So Zhu Zilong wants to buy test products, and he is still Chinese, and Ah San is still very proud, thinking that Chinese have come to buy Indian goods, and sure enough, we are the strongest.

However, Zhu Zilong's true thoughts were.

TM's, Russian arms comparable to the price of scrap iron, say a few nice words here, and you can get your hands on them.

Even if you can't get a lot of them, you can get some advanced or practical ones, and they won't attract the attention of China and other countries, so why not?

"Mr. Zhu, are you sure you want to buy, the Russian Ivan Rogov-class dock landing ship ......?"

"Yes."

"Okay, but the number of purchases of this is limited to one, and you can't send our tanks."

Zhu Zilong's eyes flickered, thinking that if you give me your tanks from the Three Kingdoms for free, I don't dare to use them.

In the end, Zhu Zilong bought the Ivan Rogov-class dock landing ship for more than 40 million yuan. Ready-made seventy percent new, the kind that can be used directly!

Think about it, the price of steel in Chinese mainland is only more than 2,000 yuan a ton. This kind of guy with a displacement of about 10,000 tons or more, as long as he has such a small amount of money, even if some of the special weapons on it are taken away.

This TM is also the same price as scrap iron, and Zhu Zilong's mouth is crooked.

Russia's Ivan Rogov-class dock landing ship is a former Soviet product that was first introduced by Western intelligence services in the late 70s of the 20th century.

At that time, however, the former Soviet Union was very generous, and when the class of ships was conducting military exercises, it also invited 12 Western personnel and military attachés to watch, which flattered Western reporters.

The purpose of this is to show such a large surface ship to the Western media in order to show its strength; On the other hand, because this kind of ship is not a main combat ship, there is not much secrecy to speak of.

And the one Zhu Zilong bought is a relatively lucky product.

On September 18, 2012, the Russian Navy sold several large landing ships in service to India. A total of 3 such landing ships were built in the former Soviet Union. The fourth ship had just been built for a long time before the Soviet Union collapsed and collapsed, and the ship was told to rest at home, but it was actually a brand new product!

Seeing this, I believe you understand, that's right, Zhu Zilong is now buying this fourth ship. It's just been a little longer, but now there are still seventy percent new!

Because the Indian military is also going to be renewed, it will take out this previous generation product for money.

The Ivan Rogov-class landing ship has a standard displacement of 11,580 tons, a full load displacement of 14,060 tons, a maximum speed of 29 knots (about 100 miles per hour), and a cruising range of 27,500 nautical miles at a speed of 20 knots.

The maximum loading capacity of this class of landing ships is 100 tanks, 150 armored vehicles or 120 trucks, 6 small amphibious boats or 3 air-cushion landing craft, and 14 Ka-29 helicopters. It is claimed that more than one regiment of troops can be directly and forcibly transported to a hostile country at one time!

The ship inherits the style of the "Toad" class tank landing ship, and is designed with a unique bow door with a retractable hitch plate behind the door. This design allows the landing ship to land directly in the shallows when it is loaded with personnel who do not have pontoon equipment.

In addition, the ship's firepower is very high.

The ship is equipped with a twin-mounted ship-to-air missile launcher, two quadruple ship-to-air missile launchers, a twin-mounted 76-mm naval gun, two 30-tube rocket launchers, and four 30-mm six-tube close-in defense guns.

Of course, this is not of much use for eggs.

The twin ship-to-air missile launchers and the two quadruple ship-to-air missile launchers have been deliberately taken away by the Indian side for reasons of disrepair and other reasons. Only remnants remained, 76-mm naval guns, 2 30-barrel rocket launchers, 4 30-mm 6-barrel close-in defense guns.

But even if there are only a few modern guns left on it, if you pull it to the Ming Dynasty, uh-huh, the Ming Navy, the world's first science and technology! Ha! -
