Chapter 1145 Mutual Injury
Speaking of oil tyrants in the Middle East, they are so rich that they make people envious and jealous. ???????·Its weapons and equipment are full of "tyrant style".
They bought 460 French amx-30b2 tanks that year, and they were beaten by old Iraqi Type 69 tanks in Khafji during the Gulf War. So they felt that this crap was not going to work, so they threw it all into the "reserve", that is to say, they left it in the desert.
Then 400 m60a3 tanks used by the Americans were replaced, and they were all thrown away soon. God is sorry, the "fourth class" of the U.S. military drove this thing to fight the Gulf War.
Oil tyrants disliked 'Patton' for being too old, and immediately replaced it with 442 of the latest American m1a2 tanks. Later, all these tanks were refitted into m1a2sep synchronized with the US military... It can be described as high-end and high-end.
Simple is a word!
But no matter which country exports tanks, it will always have a hand in armor and shells. Jia Yingjiang's m1 basic model used ceramic composite armor, and its defense against armor-piercing projectiles was only equivalent to a 350mm homogeneous steel plate.
But in continuous improvement, Eagle Sauce adds depleted uranium armor to the m1 tank. Although it was damaged in the Iraq War, it was always attacked from the side and the front remained invincible.
What about the m1a2sep that the oil bully paid a lot of money for? It seems that when fighting guerrillas not long ago, someone used an old-fashioned anti-tank missile from the 1970s to penetrate the front.
Nima, you sold such a bunch of crap for a huge price. Can You Ba feel better? Remember what happened to the French amx-30b2 before? The big dog never wondered if his army was too bad, he only thought it was because the equipment was too bad. People want to change to a new toy again.
But now Prince Youba saw the latest armor-piercing projectile from Rabbit's VT-4, and immediately pulled out the scrapped 'Abrams'. People named and asked to hit the place with the strongest frontal defense of the turret.
This game attracted the attention of the whole world, but the people from General Dynamics turned pale. They knew exactly what kind of crap they were selling to the oil bully. ??·The m1a2sep in the hand of the oil bully is still in the initial state of streaking, and there is no depleted uranium armor at all.
"What should we do now? This kind of public testing must be stopped, otherwise there will be another Kaizi who will come to buy our tanks in the future?" The people from General Dynamics first expressed to the oil tyrant prince whether a "more professional" test could be carried out.
But the prince is not stupid, so he doesn't want to be 'more professional'. People have long been annoyed by the behavior of Americans selling bad goods, and they just want to expose this layer of skin!
On the contrary, the boss of Northern Industries was overjoyed. It is no secret that there is anything wrong with the military industry. It is well known that the 'Abrams' produced by Youbajia Foreign Trade is not as good as the original version. It's so cool to advertise in public!
All right..., vt-4, give it to me!
A main battle tank of less than 50 tons quickly appeared on the scene. In order to make the scene closer to actual combat, and to make the advertisement more beautiful, the boss of North Industries increased the difficulty of the demonstration, requiring the tank crew to shoot while running, which is much more beautiful than static-to-static shooting.
The media is so damn excited. The audience doesn't like to see just how heavy the tank is, how thick the gun is, and how thick the armor is. Only a few tit-for-tat shots can increase the value of news.
Countless shots and countless reporters swarmed in for a while, and the temporary shooting range was completely surrounded. There are even drones shooting from the sky, striving to report in all directions and without dead ends.
And when Prince Youba is in place, the live ammunition demonstration will begin immediately. The crew driving the vt-4 accelerated and ran over from a kilometer away. The body of the car was bumping, but the muzzle was steadily pointed to the side. Lock on the target and blast it out!
The high-temperature flames stirred up huge clouds of dust, and a high-speed camera captured a black shadow flying out of the flames, shooting directly at the 'Abrams' two kilometers away.
The speed of the fin-stabilized shell-piercing shell was nearly 2,000 meters per second, and it hit the target within a breath.
Two kilometers away, there was an immediate explosion like thunder, and flames erupted everywhere. A huge cloud of smoke would obscure the target tank. Prince Youba stood up from his seat on the high platform, stretched his neck and asked suspiciously: "Did you hit it?"
The smoke and dust could not be dispersed for a while, and the staff of the defense exhibition immediately projected the pictures taken by the high-speed camera on a large screen. The onlookers could clearly see that a small projectile core accurately hit the front of the turret of the 'Abrams'.
The high-speed projectile core easily penetrated the turret armor like piercing a piece of jelly. Not only did it penetrate the armor, it even penetrated the entire vehicle body in the next shot, and then came out from the rear of the tank.
Cool!
There was an exclamation at the scene, and the boss of North Industries and the employees below laughed happily. Prince Youba was also very satisfied with the result, and also continued to applaud to express his happiness. After being happy for a few seconds, his face turned pale, Nima, the Javelin really sold a bunch of crap to Lao Tzu.
It's just that the media doesn't care how much the prince's psychological shadow is at the moment, and they try their best to come up for an interview. But the people from General Dynamics hated it to death. The crap they sold was completely exposed.
"Your Excellency, we think such a test is unfair. Why not let the VT-4 of the florist be used as a target, and try our 'Abrams' armor-piercing projectile?" In order to restore reputation, General Dynamics People also forget moral integrity.
In general, if the shells of the two sides can penetrate each other, such a result is barely acceptable. It can also be exchanged for a bit of decline in future arms sales promotions. And Prince Youba was also very interested in being cheated by Yingjiang, so he could gain some experience, after all, rabbits are not good people.
If the rabbit's tank defense is as bad as Yingjiang's monkey version of 'Abrams', wouldn't it be brushed again? And GM's people still have a little confidence in their own shells. The armor-piercing shell technology of the United States is unique in the world!
Now the boss of North Industries was a little hesitant. After all, the advertisement is so good now, it is only natural to accept it when it is good. He had every reason to refuse such a test. After all, what the oil bully pulled out was a damaged tank, but their vt-4 was intact.
However, the oil bully prince is not short of money, he 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.
Do it, the big dog is unreasonable!
Eagle Sauce's 'Abrams' weighs more than 60 tons, and Rabbit's VT-4 only weighs more than 40 tons. The difference in tonnage is the difference in defense. They need a few more armor plates anyway.
But at the moment, it's impossible to catch ducks on the shelves. If the eggs are condensed, the advertising effect that has been established with great difficulty will be greatly reduced. Just when the boss was gnashing his teeth and trying to speak, the technicians on the side stepped forward and whispered, "Boss, our tank may be able to handle it."
"Really?" The boss looked surprised.
The technicians whispered again: "I don't know what kind of stimulation has been recently in China. They are thinking about developing a new generation of tanks, and at the same time improving the defense of existing tanks. Our vt-4 has been strengthened before the exhibition, and the frontal armor has been greatly improved. Maybe it can Hold up the old American foreign trade armor-piercing bullets."
Thinking that he can really resist the opponent's shelling, his fame will explode! This means that only I can hit you, you cannot hit me. The boss of North Industries finally decided to take a bet and let you fight!
Vt-4 was in place and was pulled two kilometers away. The oil tyrants brought in their own 'Abrams', but they couldn't do motion-to-static shooting, they could only kill the target.
Under the attention of the media again, Youba's tank crew blasted out. Everyone in the smoke and dust subconsciously looked at the big screen, but the high-speed camera showed that it missed the target and missed the target!
"By Allah, this is our best tanker. If you can't hit it, there must be something wrong with the tank sold by the Ziehawk." Prince Youba's face turned black, "Keep fighting until you hit it."
The second shot... Boom!
A second later, everyone watched the slow motion on the big screen and it really hit the spot.
The technicians of North Industries held their breath, and the VT-4 crew's eyes widened. The boss didn't dare to look at it, he even regretted showing off the limelight, thinking in his heart what should he say in front of the media if he got through?
"What's the situation?" The boss lowered his head, but felt that the surrounding atmosphere was not right. People under the big screen looked up at the slow-motion video playback, no one screamed or made noise, only silence.
On the contrary, Youba's tanker drilled out of the turret and shouted loudly, "The ricochet, we failed to penetrate their armor!"
