Chapter 1212 Joint Training
Latakia, Hmeimim Air Base. ?
Relying on various military and living facilities at the base itself, a new military camp was built near the base at the request of the Syrian government, dedicated to the training of the armored brigade. There are more than 5,000 Syrian and Iranian soldiers stationed in the barracks, and they are very enthusiastic about training.
In all the training, the appearance of the VT-4 tank always attracts many onlookers. Among them are not only people from various countries, but also a large number of reporters. These journalists were all invited by the Russian army. They were originally used to report on the Russian army's stationing, training and combat conditions in Syria in order to improve the image of the Russian army.
But to be honest, the Russian army's fight in Syria is really not very good, it can even be said to be very poor.
How bad is it?
The Russian army fighting in Syria mainly dispatched air force to support the Syrian government forces attacking on the ground.
If the U.S. military were to do this kind of work, all kinds of precision-guided weapons would fly all over the sky, and it would cause great damage without using a few bombs. However, Russian fighters, whether they are old-fashioned Su-24, Su-25, or advanced Su-34, all drop unguided iron bombs.
That's right, Mao Xiong is currently too poor to have any sophisticated weapons. Shooting a few "caliber" series cruise missiles from the Black Sea is enough for them to boast for a long time, and their combat efficiency is extremely low.
To put it bluntly, the top five that the rabbit family is about to retire can do better than these Russian aircraft. The improved airborne equipment in the late stage of Qiang V is already very good, and the progress of the electronics industry has greatly reduced the cost of guided weapons.
The reporters were very bored at the Hmeimim Air Force Base, and seeing an Iranian army equipped with Chinese and imperial weapons suddenly came, this is the highlight of the news. In particular, the rabbit is particularly tricky, and the officers and soldiers who come to train will drive the VT-4 out every day.
Running circles, washboard roads, machine gun shooting, main gun shooting, the best thing to watch is mobile shooting. The Land Overlord of tens of tons soared at full power, and the shock of being bombarded again was too strong. This kind of firepower show is full of performance nature, which makes people never get tired of watching it.
Even Western journalists will not resist such good-looking and interesting news materials, and spread the majestic appearance of VT-4 to the world every day. As for the original star weapon T-9os, it has become neglected and lost its luster.
"Lieutenant Colonel Vladimir, this situation cannot continue." Outside the tank training ground, Kartapolov, commander of the Russian Army in military uniform, wrinkled his face. He pointed to a VT-4 that was running at a high speed and asked, "That No. 104 tank is demonstrating to me every day."
The No. 104 VT-4 tank painted in desert-colored digital camouflage is the star among the recent stars. Its commander is very weird, a flower-growing soldier wearing sunglasses and a big beard. He always leans out of the car to give instructions, and his attire is unique among the Chinese instructor team, which is very different.
This weird commander came recently, and Lieutenant Colonel Vladimir, who was in charge of defending the base, had inquired behind his back. The captain, surnamed Lin, was originally in charge of logistics, but he took the initiative to ask to learn tank driving, and he got started very quickly, and now he has become an instructor.
And this eccentric driver has an amazing language talent. He can speak Persian and Arabic, and can communicate directly with Iranian and Syrian students, which makes his teaching efficiency very high. Iranian tankers are also very happy to learn from him, which is much better than being translated by a translator.
The commander likes to play various tricks on the tank, and he knows how to show the advanced performance of the VT-4 to the reporters around the training ground. His high-intensity training and combat skills have made him famous, and now his support group has appeared on Twitter.
Lieutenant Colonel Vladimir was a little uncertain about the Commander's request. He asked in a low voice: "Or can we order the Iranians to stop training? Or keep the reporters away?"
"No! This idea is stupid, do you understand?" Your Excellency the Commander flatly refused. He looked at another group of people not far away, and lowered his voice, "Do you want me to show my timidity in front of Syrian and Iranian officials?"
The heavy equipment brigade jointly established by China, Syria and Iran has naturally attracted great attention from the governments and military of the three countries.
The training ground is visited by dignitaries from the three countries almost every day.
Among them, the land of Syria has been lost, the people are in dire straits, and the government is crumbling. President Assad is more eager than anyone else to hope that this force will quickly form combat capability and go to the battlefield.
Iran came to help his hard-core brothers. With a new toy in his hand, he also wanted to see if he could increase his combat power with cutting-edge weapons? Because of the weird situation in the Middle East, Ying Jiang is threatening Iran's life and death every day, and Iran may be the next to be subverted.
If this heavy-armored brigade is really good, it may be said that Iran will have to form a few more similar troops if it sells iron. After all, money can be made again, but there is only one life!
And the flower growers also hope that this army will form a demonstration effect as soon as possible. This is not just about buying weapons and making some money. As the biggest cent, Rabbit also hopes to learn the various methods that Eagle Sauce uses to control the Middle East. Behind the arms trade is often huge political influence.
Now that Mao Xiong is in decline, even sending out troops has failed to show how powerful he is. Instead, he seems to be behind the times everywhere. Seeing that the rabbit is playing more and more smoothly in the Middle East, the senior officials of the Russian army stationed in Syria are also seeing it and worrying about it.
How to do?
In order to maintain their own face, the two high-level Russian troops stationed in Syria pondered over each other and said to President Assad and senior Iranian military officials who came to visit - in order to enhance the friendship between us, why not conduct a confrontational confrontation? Joint training?
Ah... joint training? What a genius idea!
"We can also refer to the 'Tank Biathlon' for actual combat training. Just let those reporters report it well. This will greatly help improve the morale of our army."
"It can also erect a positive image of our T-9os. Show the world the excellence of our national weapons."
"Also let a certain rabbit understand whose home field it is."
Heh heh heh...the two middle and high-level officers of the Russian army listed many benefits in their minds. But after a while, Lieutenant Colonel Vladimir asked weakly: "Do you want to invite the Chinese to participate in this kind of field training?"
This... is a problem!
The damn rabbit likes to come and kick the field the most, and the performance of the VT-4 is still good, and experienced crews can exert great power. Letting them join is bound to take away a lot of the limelight. But not letting them come, it seems that Russia is too stingy.
After much deliberation, it can only be an invitation. Otherwise, the reporters will definitely make irresponsible remarks, and Syria and Iran will also have to worry about it.
The Russian troops stationed in Syria proposed to carry out confrontational joint training of armored forces, and the news immediately detonated the reporters present. Only when there is competition can there be news, and only when there is victory or defeat can there be material. The people of the world always watch the excitement and don't think it's a big deal, and they especially like to rank various weapons.
Who is the best VT-4 and T-9os?
Who is the best tank soldier between the rabbit and the bear?
Just try it out and you'll know!
As for Syria and Iran, they also hope to show it in front of the world media. The attention of the reporters has aroused the secret contest between China and Russia. Before the joint training started, the netizens of the two countries started a war of words.
Back to the Mao Bear to do the "Tank Biathlon", and back to the Rabbit to play games. Originally, I wanted to advertise the T-72B3m tank in my country, but the rabbit's 96B became famous instead. This made Mao Bear very angry.
As for Rabbit's netizens, they all felt that their 96B was stronger, but it happened to be second in the back-to-back competition. Moreover, it is even more unconvincing that the referee deliberately made troubles or even modified the rules.
That being the case, it's a mule or a horse, pull it out and yo!
The Iranian army is very interested in this. The crews they send to receive VT-4 are all experienced crews who learn quickly. After using the simple and advanced fire control and driving methods of the VT-4, it feels even more powerful! The Iranians expressed their confidence, okay? !
The Syrian President also agreed with this suggestion. They also equipped the T-9os tanks delivered by the Russian army, but the actual combat records were extremely poor, and even the tanks were captured by the enemy. If it can be improved in joint training, it will naturally be beneficial.
Among them, the rabbit is the most unhappy. Because Mao Xiong said - this is training, not a game, your instructors can only give instructions off the field, and only recruits can play.
The rabbit's face sank...a recruit? Looks like we only have one tank recruit here! 8
