Chapter 1146 Competition
"What jumping? What jumping? I don't know if high-speed sub-caliber armor-piercing projectiles don't ricochet?" An oil tyrant officer was reprimanding his tankers in a low voice, but the reporters around him didn't care so much, and kept going at them. shooting.
Of course, the point is not to shoot the oil tank crew, but to shoot 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 battle.
The reporters surrounding this monkey version of the 'Abrams' are still a small number, but the reporters surrounding the North Industries exhibition team are on the inner three floors and the outer three floors. The flashes of various lenses can blind the eyes, and the microphone can poke the boss's mouth.
"What is the foreign sales price of China's VT-4?"
"Is there any new breakthrough in the armor technology of VT-4?"
"What are the advantages of VT-4 in terms of power and informatization?"
"Ha ha ha..., please be quiet, we will hold a press conference to introduce our VT-4 tank to you. I can assure you that this will be the best tank that countries can buy at the moment .”
Anyway, if you brag and don't pay taxes, then you can brag!
The people from General Dynamics stared at the Norinco delegation with jealousy, but now they have no intention of complaining, because there are piles of reporters who want to interview them.
"May I ask why 'Abrams' suffered such a disastrous defeat?"
"Does China's VT-4 really surpass the 'Abrams'?"
"How will General Dynamics respond to the current situation?"
"Please believe that today's test is unfair. The Chinese tanks must have been temporarily strengthened. I can guarantee this. Our 'Abrams' is still the most advanced tank in the world. There is no doubt about that.”
On the battlefield, sometimes strong firepower is not important, but thick armor can bring great psychological advantages. When facing the enemy head-on, thinking that you are under solid protection can allow soldiers to better display their combat effectiveness. From ancient times to the present, whether the armor is strong or not means whether you can win the advantage on the battlefield?
No matter how the Yankees explain it, the facts are now in front of them. The people from General Dynamics now also regret that they wanted to sell the monkey version of the tank to the oil bully because of Mao, but now they have properly smashed their own signs.
The North Industries team even drove back the damaged VT-4, and only then did the GM people get out of the siege. Reporters flocked to the tank to take pictures frantically, especially where the turret was shot.
Because the M1A3 version of 'Abrams' brought by Zhou Qingfeng in China was frightened and anxious, so the VT-4 temporarily added a thick main armor for the exhibition. Especially on the front of the turret, which is the key point of protection, the composite armor module is almost one meter thick.
Now you can see that the shell of the composite armor on the turret exploded, the inner lining was loosened, and there was a small hole in the center, which was the core of the armor-piercing bullet.
But did it break through?
In order to achieve a better advertising effect, the boss of North Industries ordered the composite armor attached to it to be removed immediately to see how deep the old American foreign trade armor-piercing projectile penetrated. It turned out that nearly a meter of composite armor had been penetrated, but only a shallow crater in the base turret.
"I now officially announce that the frontal armor of VT-4 has withstood the test of the American counterparts!" The boss deliberately pulled out General Dynamics' opponent as a target. And when he yelled this, many people around the world were excited because of it.
In the past, the rabbit's tanks were lagging behind for a long time and were subject to controversy. In particular, the Type 59 tank and its improvements have always been the basic property of the PLA Army. Among all kinds of jokes, the fifth and ninth changes have all changed to the Star Destroyer. Isn't this a kind of helpless self-mockery?
During the Gulf War, the Type 59 and Type 69 tanks sold by Rabbit were ravaged by old Americans.
Discredited. For a long time, "Chinese tank" has been synonymous with garbage, and even all kinds of well-known elites in China keep spraying it. And today I finally waited for the opportunity to vent my anger!
The oil bully's prince also stepped forward and said with a big grin, "I trust your tanks completely now. This is exactly the equipment we want."
Thinking of the pissing nature of a big dog, they will throw the tank again in every chance, and they will throw hundreds of hundreds of them into the desert. The boss of Northern Industries thought that there were hundreds of orders in front of him, so he immediately went up to hold the hand of the local tyrant, and burst into tears.
Little money, really sweet!
You must know that Saudi Arabia spent billions of dollars on the purchase of M1A2sep, and the later training, maintenance and upgrades cost more than one billion dollars.
You must know that the weapons of the Rabbit family are not cheap now, and the oil tyrants are not short of money. The purchase of hundreds of vehicles will allow all employees of North Industries to send a few more chicken legs.
But how can General Dynamics give up such a big deal? In order to restore the decline, its representative immediately resorted to the trump card - T51A power armor.
You must know that Rabbit's T-45 series power armor has been selling extremely well recently, and even Mao Xiong deducted some money from military expenses to sell the A-type production patent back. The simplified B-type and C-type are also very popular, and local tyrants in the Middle East have started the big purchase mode of buying, buying, and buying.
But at the defense exhibition in Abu Dhabi, General Dynamics also officially launched their own power armor to grab the market for individual weapon platforms. For this kind of equipment that can greatly strengthen the combat effectiveness of the army, it has been regarded by countries all over the world as an unfolding military revolution.
"Our T-51A power armor is completely a crystallization of technology beyond the times. It is much more powerful than the currently known individual weapon platforms. Now let's take a look at its display."
On the booth of General Dynamics, a gorgeous humanoid armor is moving flexibly. It is also equipped with large-caliber machine guns and various advanced weapons and equipment. The key is that compared to 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, seeing this equipment with his own eyes, he was immediately attracted by it. T-51A is indeed extremely good in terms of flexibility, and it is eye-catching.
For a country with completely weak individual soldiers, a strong defense individual weapon platform is too attractive. Seeing that the oil bully prince was interested, the representative of General Dynamics immediately stepped forward with a smile and said, "Your Highness, maybe we should reconsider the tank deal?"
"Tank? I don't think there's anything good to trade?" Thinking of the monkey version of the tank he sold for a lot of money, the Oily Prince felt unhappy.
"We can help strengthen the 'Abrams' purchased by your country to the same level of defense as the version used by the US military.
We can also open export contracts for new armor-piercing projectiles to ensure that the combat effectiveness of your tanks is greatly improved. In this way, you don't need to spend money to buy Chinese products. "The people at General Dynamics don't want Rabbit arms to proliferate in the Middle East.
But Prince Youba still shook his head. This person was deceived once because he was careless, and if he was deceived a second time, he really has something wrong with his mind. But the person from General Dynamics pointed to the T-51A that was being displayed on the booth and said, "Are you interested in our individual weapon platform?"
"Well..., it should be pretty good. However, China's T-45 series is also sold to the outside world, and it has gone through actual combat tests. We have already placed an order and will deliver it soon." The oil tyrant prince guessed GM's What people want to say.
Compared with American weapons, Rabbit's equipment has improved rapidly in recent years, and often no other political conditions are attached to arms sales transactions.
"But our T-51A is very advanced, I think you need to think about it again." The representative of General Dynamics smiled slightly, and said in a slightly threatening tone: "Your Highness, please also think about it." U.S. special interests in the Middle East.
Our T-51A is definitely much more powerful than China's T-45. And I'd like to bundle power armor and tank upgrades together so it's good for both of us. "
Oops..., it has risen to the political level, business is not tolerated these days!
