Chapter 407: Pit the Iranians
"However, we can export T-62 tanks to you. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 "Our tank, after a lot of service in the army, proved to be a high-performance main battle tank, a 115 mm tank gun, which can penetrate the main armor of most Western tanks, and if you need it, we can also give you our new armor-piercing shells, which can penetrate the main armor of American tanks." If you need it, we can deliver it within a week, and the unit price can be very low, for example, $800,000 a car, what do you think? ”
The T-62, in the sequence of equipment of the Soviet armored corps, is almost the same as the T-72, a kind of product of the willow and the light.
In the Soviet armor sequence, the original main battle tank was the T-55, and the new cross-era tank was the 432 project of the "Kharkov scheme", that is, the prototype of the T-64 tank. The then Chairman of the Tank Science and Technology Committee, General A-Villadus Zinkovich, did everything to delay the review and approval of the technical construction documents for the serial production of the T-62 tank in order to give priority to the development and production of the T-64 tank.
As a result, from the opposite Iran, a M60A1 tank equipped with a 105-mm rifled gun defected, and Soviet tank technologists immediately conducted a thorough dissection and analysis of the new American-developed tank, confirming that the performance of these tanks was stronger than their own T-55, for example, the 100-mm tank shells of the T-55 tank could not effectively penetrate the frontal armor of the M60A1 tank. And the Western L7 105-mm rifled gun, which has much more armor-piercing power than the Soviet 100-mm tank gun, can easily penetrate two side-by-side T-55s!
As a result, Marshal Vasily Ivanovich-Chuikov, then Deputy Minister of Defense of the USSR, Commander-in-Chief of the Army, was furious. Marshal of the armored tank corps, Pavel Pavlovich Poluboyarov, scolded a bloody sprinkler, hoping that new tanks would be put into production immediately to deal with the West. In the face of the reprimand, Poluboyarov still wanted to delay, and he replied: "The Nizhny Tagil Tank Plant is developing a tank with a 115-mm gun that can fight the M60 tanks of the American army. However, the tank also had some flaws, such as the weapon stabilizer being prone to failure. Chuikov reprimanded loudly: "Don't you use any stabilizer to deceive me? I need equipment for wedge offensives! This gun must be mounted on the tank right away!"
In this way, the Ural locomotive and rolling stock factory in Nizhny Tagil, which was born the same as the stepmother, began the production of T-62 tanks, after all, it was modified on the basis of the T-55, and it went well, and in 1961, the first batch of 25 tanks produced was equipped with the tank troops of the Carpathian Military District of the Soviet Army.
This T-62 was supposed to be a replacement for the T-64 before it entered service, but unfortunately the T-64 was not angry, it has been difficult to give birth, and all kinds of problems have plagued them, and as a result, the T-62 was given a chance, this kind of tank, which was supposed to be a flash in the pan, turned out to be a total of 20,000 units! It ranked second in terms of the number of tanks produced after the war. In addition to massively equipping the Soviet army, it was also used for export to other countries.
And in the battle for Zhenbao Island, Huaxia obtained a T-62 tank, and after repeated mapping, a similar 69 tank was produced.
Now, Iran is importing a large number of 69 tanks from China through secret channels, and in later generations, throughout the eighties, China was in a period of economic transformation, military spending was very small, and the military industrial enterprises relied on the export of a large number of weapons to Iran to get through this difficulty, and made a fortune.
Now, since Andrei has crossed over and become a Soviet, he naturally wants to serve the interests of the Soviet Union, relying on the T-62 to suppress the export space of Huaxia's 69 tanks, the 800,000 just mentioned, is not Andrei's nonsense, but the same price as Huaxia's 69 tanks!
The price is the same, but the performance of the 115 mm tank gun is far stronger than the 69 mm smoothbore gun of the 100 tank of the Huaxia tank, and the fire control system is also better than the Chinese tank in an all-round way.
When the T-72 was put into production, the T-62 was already out of production, and at the same time, the troops were gradually reequipping, using the obsolete T-62 to make a lot of money for the Iranians, why not!
Now, it depends on whether the Iranians can get on it, the T-62 is widely spread all over the world, even if there is a T-62 in the Iranian army, it does not mean that it was sold by the Soviet Union, and North Korea, which has a good relationship with Iran, has a production line of T-62.
"Okay, we can import five hundred vehicles in advance, and I hope you will deliver them as soon as possible." Muhsin's speed surprised Andrei very much, he knew that he had just asked for a million dollars!
Of course, you don't have to think too much about this deal, the main battle weapons of the Soviet Union have always been good, although the T-62 is inferior to the T-72 and T-64 in terms of performance, it is already the best choice that you can get, and the price is not expensive!
Equip your troops with a large number of tanks! The Huaxia 69 is obviously inferior to the Soviet T-62, so there is nothing to hesitate about, the main thing is the speed of delivery!
"We also need to order the rest of the weapons, including MLRS and so on." Mohsin said: "We have a detailed list here. ”
It's been ready for a long time! The planes and tanks in front of the list were ticked off by Muhsin, and other weapons in the back, including a huge number of automatic rifles, etc., all need to be imported from the Soviet Union!
Iran has a well-established industrial system, but these industries are unable to restore their production capacity under the indiscriminate bombardment of the United States, such as the Isfahan factory, etc., which were blown up in the first place, so they continue to use new weapons.
"We can provide these anti-aircraft guns and other equipment, and we need to follow up on the rest." Andrei said, everything else is easy to say, those automatic rifles and other equipment must not be provided to Iran in large quantities! If Iran has an AK47, even if it occupies eastern Iran in the future, I am afraid that there will be no peace!
Now the assistance of the USSR is limited to helping Iran against the United States, and the focus is on fighters! The Soviet Union will not only not provide light weapons that can be proliferated in large quantities, but will also restrict the supply of large quantities by third countries!
This negotiation was still very smooth, the two sides were satisfied, and Andrei took the contract, knowing that he could pit the Iranians for a sum of money. Moreover, before Andrei finally left, he gave the Iranians a new proposal, and when Andrei finished speaking, a fanatical fire appeared in the eyes of the other party! (To be continued.) )
