Chapter 1146: Competition
"What jump? What to jump on? Don't you know that high-speed sub-caliber armor-piercing shells don't ricochet? An oil bully officer was whispering a reprimand to his tankmen, but the reporters around him didn't care so much, and they were shooting at them vigorously. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Of course, the focus is not on the tank crew of the oil bully, but on the seemingly majestic 'Abrams'. You must know that the current media is often broadcast in real time, and now the audience is very interested in this unique tank (tearing) battle.
And the reporters gathered next to this monkey version of the 'Abrams' are still a small number, but the reporters gathered around the North Industry Exhibition team are the inner three floors and the outer three floors. The flashes of various lenses can brighten the blind, and the microphone can poke into the boss's mouth.
"What is the price of the VT-4 in China?"
"Is there any new breakthrough in the armor technology of the VT-4?"
"What are the advantages of the VT-4 in terms of power and informatization?"
"Hahaha...... please be quiet, we will hold a press conference for this purpose, dedicated to introducing our VT-4 tanks. I can assure you that this will be the best tank that countries can buy at the moment. ā
Anyway, if you brag about not paying taxes, then you can brag hard!
The people of General Dynamics are staring at the delegation of NORINCO with envy, but they have no intention of complaining now, because there are also a bunch of reporters who want to interview them.
"May I ask why 'Abrams' suffered such a heavy defeat?"
"Does China's VT-4 really surpass the Abrams?"
"How will General Dynamics respond to the current situation?"
"Believe me that today's test is unfair. The Chinese tanks must have been temporarily strengthened, I can guarantee that. There is no doubt that our Abrams is still the most advanced tank in the world. ā
On the battlefield, sometimes strong firepower is not important, but thick armor can bring a great psychological advantage. When facing the enemy head-on, thinking that you are under solid protection can make the soldier better exert his combat effectiveness. From ancient times to the present, whether the armor is strong or not is a sign of whether it can win an advantage on the battlefield?
No matter how the Yankees explain it, the facts are now in front of us. The people of General Dynamics now regret that they wanted to sell the monkey version of the tank to the oil bully for Mao, but now they have properly smashed their own signboards.
The team of NORINCO even drove back the VT-4 that had been hit by one shot, which relieved GM's personnel. Journalists flocked to the tank to take pictures, especially where the turret was shot.
Because the M1A3 version of the 'Abrams' brought by Zhou Qingfeng in China was frightened and anxious, the VT-4 that came out for the exhibition was also temporarily added with thick main armor. Especially on the frontal side of the turret for key protection, the composite armor module is almost a meter thick.
Now you can see that the shell of the composite armor on the turret has burst open, the inner lining is loose, and there is a small hole in the center, into which the core of the armor-piercing shell has not entered.
But is there a breakdown?
In order to achieve a better advertising effect, the boss of NORINCO ordered to immediately remove the composite armor attached to it, and see how deep the old American foreign trade armor-piercing bullets penetrated. The results showed that the composite armor almost a meter thick was penetrated, but there was only a shallow pit in the turret at the base.
"I now officially announce that the frontal armor of the VT-4 has withstood the test of its American counterparts!" The boss deliberately disgusted people and deliberately pulled out General Dynamics' opponents as targets. And when he shouted this, many people around the world were excited and boiling.
In the past, the tanks of the rabbit family have been behind for a long time and have been controversial. In particular, the Type 59 tank and its modifications have always been the basic foundation of the PLA Army. Among all kinds of jokes, the five and nine changes have been changed to Star Destroyers. Isn't this a kind of helpless self-deprecation?
In the Gulf War that year, the 59 and 69 tanks sold by the rabbit were ravaged by the United States in every way, and their reputation was discredited. For a long time, 'Chinese tanks' were synonymous with junk goods, and even various well-known elites in China sprayed vigorously. And today I finally waited for the opportunity to take a bad breath!
The prince of the oil bully also stepped forward and grinned: "I now fully trust your tank, this is exactly the equipment we want. ā
Thinking about the urine of the big dogs, they will throw tanks again nine times out of ten, and they will throw hundreds of them into the desert. The boss of North Industries thought that there were hundreds of orders in front of him, and he immediately stepped forward to hold the hand of the local tyrant, and he was about to laugh out of tears.
Small money, really sweet!
You must know that Saudi Arabia spent billions of dollars to buy M1A2sep, and it is more than a billion dollars for later training, maintenance and upgrades.
You must know that the weapons of the rabbit family are not cheap now, and the oil tyrants are not short of money, and the purchase of hundreds of vehicles can make all the employees of North Industry send a few more chicken legs.
But with such a big business, how can General Dynamics be willing to give up? In order to recover the decline, its representative immediately resorted to the killer weapon - T51A power armor.
You must know that the rabbit's T-45 series power armor has been selling extremely well recently, and even the woolly bear has deducted some money from the military budget to sell the production patent of the A type. The simplified Type B and Type C are also popular, and the local tyrants in the Middle East have opened a large procurement mode of buying, buying, buying.
But at the defense show in Abu Dhabi, General Dynamics also officially launched their own power armor to grab the market for individual weapon platforms. This kind of equipment, which can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, has been regarded by all countries in the world as a military revolution that is unfolding.
"Our T-51A power armor is a technology that is completely ahead of its time, and is far more powerful than any currently known individual weapon platform. Now let's take a look at its presentation. ā
At the General Dynamics booth, a flamboyant-looking humanoid armor was in nimble motion, and it was also equipped with a large-caliber machine gun and a variety of advanced weaponry. The point is that compared with the ugly T-45 series, this American-designed power armor is much more beautiful and handsome.
"Oh...... this equipment looks so advanced!" Prince Youba also rushed over, and when he saw this equipment with his own eyes, he was immediately attracted to it. The T-51A is truly excellent in terms of agility and has a striking look.
For a country with completely weak individual soldier quality, a strong individual weapon platform for defense is too attractive. Seeing that Prince Youba was interested, the representative of General Dynamics immediately stepped forward with a smile and said: "Your Highness, maybe we should think about the deal of tanks again?" ā
"Tanks? I guess there's nothing to trade in? Thinking of the monkey version of the tank that he sold at a high price, Prince Youba was not happy.
"We can help strengthen the Abrams purchased by your country and raise their defenses to the same level as the U.S. military's own version.
We can also open export contracts for new armor-piercing shells, guaranteeing a significant increase in the combat effectiveness of your tank. Then you don't have to spend any more money on Chinese goods. "The people at General Dynamics don't want rabbit arms to spread in the Middle East.
But Prince Youba still shook his head, this person was deceived once by accident, and if he was deceived a second time, he really had a problem with his brain. But the General Dynamics guy pointed to the T-51A on display at the booth and said, "Are you interested in our individual weapon platform?" ā
"Well...... it should be fine. However, China's T-45 series is also sold to the outside world, and it has also been tested in real combat. We have placed an order and it will be delivered soon. "Prince Oilba can guess what the general one wants to say.
Compared with American-style weapons, Rabbit's equipment has improved rapidly in recent years, and it often does not attach other political conditions to arms sales deals.
"But our T-51A is very advanced, and I think you need to think again." The representative of General Dynamics smiled slightly, and said in a faint threatening tone: "Your Royal Highness, please also consider the special interests of the United States in the Middle East.
Our T-51A is definitely much more powerful than the Chinese T-45. And I'm hoping to tie up the power armor and tank upgrades, so that it's good for both of us. ā
Oops...... it has risen to the political level, and it is not tolerated to do business these days!
