Chapter 1145: Mutual Harm
Speaking of the oil tyrants in the Middle East, they are really super rich, which makes people envious, jealous and hateful. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Its weapons and equipment are full of "local tyrants".
They bought 460 French AMX-30B2 tanks that year, and during the Gulf War, they were beaten by Iraq's old Type 69 tanks in Haifji. So they felt that this thing was not good, and threw it all into the "reserves" -- to put it bluntly, in the desert.
Then 400 M60A3 tanks used by the Americans were replaced, and soon they were all thrown away. God is pitiful, the 'fourth-class people' of the US military drove this thing to fight in the Gulf War.
The oil tyrant disliked that 'Patton' was too old, and immediately replaced it with 442 of the latest American M1A2 tanks. Later, all these tanks were converted into M1A2sep ...... synchronized with the US military, which can be described as high-end and high-grade.
Simplicity is one word - Ho!
But no matter which country exports tanks, it will always leave a hand on armor and shells. At the beginning, the basic M1 used ceramic composite armor, and its defense against armor-piercing shells was only equivalent to 350 mm of homogeneous steel plates.
However, in the process of continuous improvement, Eagle Sauce added depleted uranium armor to the M1 tank. Although it was damaged in the Iraq War, it was attacked from the flanks and behind, and the front remained invincible.
What about the M1A2sep that the oil bully bought at a big price? It seems that when fighting the guerrillas not long ago, someone used an old anti-tank missile from the 70s of the last century to penetrate it head-on-it, and it was not only the hairy bear who bought the monkey version of the weapon, but Ying-chan also did this.
Nima, who spent a lot of money to sell such a bunch of rotten goods. Can the oil tyrant feel good? Remember what happened to the French AMX-30B2 before? The big dog never thought if his army was too bad, he only felt that the equipment was too bad. People want to change to new toys again.
And now Prince Youba saw that the rabbit's VT-4 had the latest armor-piercing bullet, and immediately pulled out the scrapped 'Abrams'. They asked to hit the place where the turret was most frontally defended.
This game attracted the attention of the whole world, but the people of General Dynamics turned pale - they knew very well what kind of rotten goods they were selling to oil tyrants. The M1A2sep in the hands of the oil tyrant is still in the initial state of streaking, and there is no depleted uranium armor at all.
"What now? This kind of open testing must be stopped, otherwise there will be that Kaizi who will come to buy our tanks in the future? "The people of General Dynamics first expressed to the prince of oil that they could conduct a 'more professional' test.
But the prince is not stupid, so he doesn't want anything 'more professional'. People have long been annoyed by the behavior of Americans selling rotten goods, just to uncover this skin!
However, the boss of North Industry is happy, it is not a secret that there is anything in the military industry, and the 'Abrams' of the oil tyrant's foreign trade is not as good as the original, which is a well-known thing. It's so cool to advertise in public!
Proper ......, VT-4, give it to me!
The main battle tank, which is less than fifty tons, quickly appeared. In order to make the scene closer to the actual combat and to make the advertisement more beautiful, the boss of NORINCO increased the difficulty of the demonstration and asked the tank crew to shoot while running -- this is much better than shooting a target from a static to a static one.
The media is so fucking excited, just introducing how heavy the tank, how thick the gun is, and how thick the armor is, the audience doesn't like to watch it. Only a few-for-tat shots can enhance the value of the news.
For a while, countless shots and countless reporters flocked to the scene, and the temporary shooting range was surrounded by water. There are even drones that shoot from the air, striving to report in all directions and without dead ends.
And when the prince of oil is in place, the live fire demonstration will begin immediately. The crew of the VT-4 accelerated from a kilometer away, the body of the car was jolting, but the muzzle of the gun was firmly pointed to the side. Lock on to the target and blast it out!
The high-temperature cannon flames stirred up a huge amount of dust, and the high-speed camera captured a black shadow flying out of the flames, shooting directly at the 'Abrams' two kilometers away. The tail stabilized the armor-piercing shell at a speed of nearly two kilometers per second, and hit the target in a breath.
Two kilometers away, there was an explosion of thunder, and flames erupted everywhere. Huge amounts of smoke and dust will be used as a tank to obscure the target. Prince Youba stood up from his high seat, craned his neck and asked suspiciously, "Did you hit?" ”
The smoke and dust could not be dispersed for a while, and the staff of the defense exhibition immediately projected the images captured by the high-speed camera on a large screen. The onlookers could clearly see that a small bullet hit the front of Abrams' turret.
The high-velocity core pierced a piece of jelly with ease, easily piercing through the turret armor. Not only did it penetrate the armor, but in the next shot it even penetrated the entire hull and came out of the tail of the tank - it was so cold and my heart was flying!
Refreshing!
The scene was full of exclamations, and the CEO of NORINCO and the employees under it were happy hahaha. Prince Youba was also very satisfied with this result, and also kept applauding to express his happiness. It's just that after being happy for a few seconds, his face collapsed - Nima, the thief eagle really sold a bunch of rotten goods to Lao Tzu.
It's just that the media doesn't care how big the prince's psychological shadow is at the moment, and they want to come up for an interview. But the people of General Dynamics hate it to death, and the rotten goods they sell are now equivalent to complete exposure.
"Your Excellency, we do not think such a test is fair. Why not let the VT-4 of the flower grower also come as a target and try the armor-piercing shells of our 'Abrams'? "In order to salvage their reputation, the people at General Dynamics are also leaving the festival behind.
In the minds of the general people, if the shells of the two sides can penetrate each other, such a result is barely acceptable. In the future, it can also change a little bit of decline in arms sales and propaganda. And Prince Youba was also very interested when he heard this--it was good to have a long experience in being pitted by Eagle Sauce, after all, rabbits are not good people.
If the rabbit's tank defense is as bad as Eagle Sauce's monkey version of 'Abrams', wouldn't it be brushed again? And General Motors still have some confidence in their own shells - the armor-piercing technology of the United States is unique in the world!
At this time, the boss of North Industry was a little hesitant, after all, the advertising is doing so well now, and it is natural to accept it when it is good. He had a reason to refuse the test. After all, the oil bully pulled out a damaged tank, while their VT-4 was intact.
However, Prince Youba is not short of money, and people said on the spot - rabbit, how much is your VT-4? I bought it as a target. If you want my order, you have to pass this test today.
, the big dog is unreasonable!
The 'Abrams' of Eagle Sauce weighs more than sixty tons, and the VT-4 of the rabbit weighs only forty tons. The difference in tonnage is the gap in defense, and people have a few more armor plates.
But right now, it's not good to catch ducks on the shelves. If the eggs are reduced, the advertising effect that has been established with great difficulty will be greatly reduced. Just when the boss gritted his teeth and wanted to phrase it, the technician on the side stepped forward and whispered a few words, "Boss, our tank may be able to withstand it." ”
"Really?" The boss looked pleasantly surprised.
The technician whispered again: "I don't know what the domestic stimulus has been affected recently, and it is thinking about developing a new generation of tanks, and at the same time improving the defense of existing tanks." Our VT-4 was strengthened before it was shown, and the frontal armor was greatly improved. Maybe it can withstand the foreign trade armor-piercing bullets of the United States. ”
Thinking that he can really resist the shelling of the other party, this time his fame will burst! This is the only way I can beat you, you can't beat me. In the end, the CEO of NORINCO decided to take a gamble - hit it, let you fight!
VT-4 was in position and was pulled two kilometers away. The oil bully brought in an 'Abrams' of his own, but they couldn't play and shoot at the station, so they could only kill the target.
Under the attention of the media again, the tank crew of the oil bully bombarded out. Everyone in the smoke and dust subconsciously looked at the big screen, but the high-speed camera showed that it missed the target!
"Allah is above, this is our best tanker. If you don't hit, it's definitely because there is a problem with the tank sold by the Skuga. Prince Youba's face darkened, "Keep fighting, until you hit." ”
The second shot ......, boom!
A second later, everyone watched the slow motion on the big screen -- it really hit.
NORINCO's technicians held their breath, and the VT-4 crew's eyes widened. The boss didn't dare to look at it, he even regretted coming out of the limelight, and wondered in his heart what to say in front of the media if he broke through?
"What the hell is going on?" The boss lowered his head, but he felt that the atmosphere around him was not quite right. The people under the big screen craned their necks to watch the slow video replay, no one exclaimed or made a noise, only silence.
Instead, the tankman of the oil tyrant drilled out of the turret and shouted at the throat, "Ricochet, we failed to penetrate their armor!" ”
