Chapter 1584 The Blown K II

The subordinates express their determination to the boss, and the boss naturally wants to encourage him, "Work hard, if this order is completed, you will have a bonus."

Layton was just waiting for this sentence. As soon as he heard about the bonus, his appetite became so hungry that he wished he could rush outside and kill a cow to swallow it alive.

"Boss, just wait for my good news."

After finishing speaking, he was about to hang up the phone, Yang Cheng hurriedly stopped him, he still wanted to know more information.

"Wait, tell me about the current situation of the Army of Oman. Can they afford to purchase 70 main battle tanks at one time?"

Layton searched for the information in his mind, organized his language and said, "As far as I know, the Oman army currently has a total of 118 main battle tanks in active service. Armor.

However, the Oman army only owns 38 'Challenger 2' main battle tanks purchased from the United Kingdom, and the remaining 80 are American-made M60A3 'Ultimate Patton' main battle tanks, which were born in the 1970s. The gap between the third-generation main battle tanks in active service is relatively large, the equipment is also relatively backward, and the modification potential has long been exhausted.

Considering that Saudi Arabia, the neighbor next door, has just purchased a batch of M1A2, it is reasonable for Oman to be anxious. "

Yang Cheng rubbed his chin and pondered, "If I remember correctly, the performance of 'Challenger 2' is at an advanced level in the world, and the service life is relatively short, so there should be no need to replace it in the short term."

Layton affirmed, "Yes, so the Oman Army's intention to purchase main battle tanks this time should be planned to replace the old M60A3 main battle tanks. This can also be confirmed from the number of orders."

"Replace 80 'Ultimate Pattons' with 70 third-generation tanks?"

"Yes, in fact, their Challenger 2 has been used for some years. I went to check the information. Oman Jun ordered a total of 38 Challenger 2 main battle tanks from the UK in two installments in the 1990s.

It has been in service for 20 years, but according to their plan, Challenger 2 is ready to serve until 2035. "

Yang Cheng was speechless, "It's been so long? Can it still be used?"

He doesn't understand, the service life of tanks is very long, and the toughness and resistance to grass are the characteristics of tanks. Didn't you see that many small countries are still using old guys that were eliminated after World War II?

Of course, it is probably a miracle for that kind of old antique to be able to go to the battlefield. Don't expect to show combat effectiveness, it is normal to run halfway.

Layton replied honestly, "Yes, the M60A3 tank, which has been in service for nearly half a century, will hardly continue to serve until 2035.

Moreover, the production line of the Challenger 2 main battle tank has been shut down, and Oman can only order new main battle tanks from other countries.

but. . . "

"Huh? But what?" Why did you hesitate to speak?

"However, due to the country's economic strength, I think Oman may not be able to afford the M1A2. Boss, you know the price of the batch of tanks we sold to Saudi Arabia~"

Yang Cheng froze for a moment, shook his head helplessly, almost forgot about it, so he was excited for nothing?

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Layton said embarrassedly, "I just remembered."

It's not easy for Yang Cheng to say anything, the cruel reality is like a chasm lying in front of her, and she can't be expected to jump over it, so it's okay to take a detour, right?

Layton added, "I guess this is why the Omani side is optimistic about South Korea's K2."

Yang Cheng was puzzled, "Why?"

"It's cheap~"

Yang Cheng laughed, too, although he didn't know the exact price, it should be cheaper than M1A2 no matter what.

Take advantage of the opportunity to open the computer browser and search for the information of the K2 tank.

K2 was originally called "Asian Leopard 2", nicknamed "Black Panther".

This nickname is not groundless, but because the design of the K2 tank is different from the previous generation K1 main battle tank. The design of the K1 is mainly derived from the M1 main battle tank of the United States, while the K2 has obtained a lot of technical support from Germany.

Even the main gun, shells and even the power pack are imported from the same model as the German Leopard 2.

However, unlike the high export prices of M1 and Leopard 2 tanks, the export price of South Korean K2 tanks only starts at 9 million US dollars. Even if the supporting equipment and ammunition are included, the starting price is only 10 million US dollars, which is nearly 10 million US dollars lower than that of M1A2S tanks. , even if they eat too much kimchi and want to increase the price, it is much cheaper than American products.

At this time, Layton said suddenly after being silent for a long while, "boss, the email I just received was a message from a broker, saying that the public relations personnel sent by the Korean side have already offered a bargaining chip, promising that once the order is completed, the Refit the K2 tanks exported to Oman, such as installing new air filters and equipment cooling devices, etc., to adapt to the local hot environment.

Boss, it seems that we cannot underestimate Korean products. At least for Oman, they are attractive enough, not only cheap. Since the R&D and design of K2 main battle tanks are carried out under the framework of NATO, it is different from the original US-made products of the Oman Army. , The logistics support system of British equipment can be well connected, and there is no need to build a new logistics system, which will play a vital role in determining the ownership of the order. "

Yang Cheng sighed. Arms trading is never a one-shot deal. There are too many factors involved. As Layton said, logistics support factors definitely occupy a considerable proportion. It is impossible to buy a tank and use it up. Is one scrapped?

If such a prodigal, let alone Oman, Saudi Arabia can't afford it!

But Yang Cheng didn't give up. It's not his character to give up before the business is discussed. The news that he had seen in his previous life rang out again, and he laughed twice. Don't you have an advantage? Then pour some dirty water on you and see if you can wash it clean.

Enter a string of text on the search engine, and quickly found relevant news. Sure enough, as I remembered, since K2 entered service, the Kimchi media has been boasting that its K2 main battle tank can penetrate 7 Z parked side by side with one shot. China's 99 main battle tank is indeed the largest country in the universe. Yang Cheng saw a lot of comments under the news, and the netizens really believed it!

It can also be understood that Bangzi has always been self-righteous and has never investigated the facts. The K2 main battle tank artillery that the Korean media claims can smash everything is actually not developed by South Korea itself, but a Korean imitation version of the German Rheinmetall artillery!

This kind of bull is not afraid to scare the strict Germans half to death. It would be strange if they didn't come with a few sausages!

Koreans have always liked to blow their own little bit of advantages to death, and it’s okay to blow up imported imported products. After all, the German artillery is indeed of a certain level, although it is not as exaggerated as piercing 7 99s with one shot. After all Even if you put 7 thick steel plates, it won't be smashed in one shot, let alone the armor of the main station tank?

Niu 13 is about to blow up to the sky. If Yang Cheng doesn't come and pierce it with a needle, Yang Cheng is really worried that he will fall and hit his head. How wronged~
