Chapter 925: 10 Million Each
readx; The crushing protection and firepower of the Apocalypse tank directly exploded the Rhino tank, especially the 120mm smoothbore gun on the Apocalypse tank, which gave everyone on the scene the feeling that it was too cruel.
The most powerful tank smoothbore gun in the world is the main gun on the German Leopard tank. Even the American Abrams uses German artillery.
Compared with the 125mm tank main guns of China and Russia, this NATO tank main gun is actually not inferior.
Because most of the main battle tanks currently in service are not the opponents of this artillery, the caliber of 120 mm, lethality and logistics can all meet and suit the needs of the battlefield.
Otherwise, it is not that NATO does not have large-caliber tank main guns, but they have never been used.
Some people even say that the main guns of NATO tanks are already the limit of the lethality of artillery of the same caliber.
Saudi Arabia, which has always used German tanks and American tanks, is the country in the Middle East that knows the main gun of this tank best.
It is a pity that this tank's main gun has no opponent in the Middle East. Syria, the only country equipped with the most advanced main battle tank-t-90, may not be able to stop NATO's main tank gun.
And other tanks are even more unable to stop NATO tank main guns, but the Rhino tank has told everyone through many actual combats from its appearance to the present, that is, the protection of this tank has reached a world-class level .
In the face of various bazookas and anti-tank missiles armed by Isis, the protection of the Rhino tank has been best tested.
The performance of a weapon and equipment cannot be obtained by testing alone, and one of the characteristics of the weapon and equipment of the Future Technology Group is that it seldom undergoes long-term verification and testing.
Since the appearance of the Rhino Tank, there has not been any decent performance test. As soon as it appeared, it was mass-produced, and as soon as it was mass-produced, it entered the battlefield.
And there haven't been any mechanical failures yet. The performance on the battlefield is even more impressive.
Abrams, which the United States sold to Iraq, could not stop the expansion of ISIS in just over a year of fighting. Also lost more than a hundred vehicles.
When the Rhino tank entered the Iraqi government army, it not only defeated the ISIS armed forces, but so far no main battle tank has been lost on the battlefield.
The pros and cons of a weapon,
There is no better testing environment than the actual battlefield.
Not only Salman has taken a fancy to the Rhino tank, in fact, many countries have also taken a fancy to this cheap and practical tank.
A single tank costs more than two million dollars. It is considered cheap, and it can exert super combat effectiveness in the hands of the Iraqi government forces. Other countries also believe that their own troops can also use this tank very well.
Of course, this is unknown to the outside world. The so-called Iraqi government forces using Rhino tanks are actually the Red Police Corps.
Everyone simply thought that the soldiers in the Marin Division at that time were actually similar to the soldiers of other Iraqi government forces.
The outside world is also unclear about the use of the Marin Division in armor tactics. The close coordination between the infantry and Tanzania was the biggest shortcoming of the former Iraqi government forces.
However, it is naturally impossible for the Future Technology Group to announce this point. The rhino tank that has passed the actual combat test also enjoys a certain degree of praise and status in the world.
Salman originally planned to buy a batch of Rhino tanks to supplement the losses of ground troops under this missile strike.
Unfortunately, his idea of getting this tank right away is basically impossible to realize.
He who felt a little disappointed just now was pleasantly surprised.
Salman at the moment. I have been completely moved by this domineering dual-turret main battle tank in front of me.
The powerful defense displayed by this tank in front of me completely makes the main gun of the Rhino tank helpless. It also has a very advanced active defense system.
The most terrifying thing is that the rhino tank, which also has a strong defense, has no ability to resist under the main gun of this tank.
It's just a simple shot, and under the active explosive reactive armor, it can also directly penetrate the frontal armor of the Rhino tank. Such power is really terrifying.
But compared to Salman, an aide behind him is the real shocker.
This staff member was originally an expert in the field of military industry, and he also had a lot of research on artillery and tanks.
In fact, since he saw the Apocalypse tank shooting and hitting the Rhino tank, and when he heard the explosion, he was extremely shocked to discover the super terrifying initial velocity of the Apocalypse tank's main gun.
It's not an electromagnetic gun, but an ordinary artillery loaded with gunpowder, but it can increase the muzzle velocity to such a degree. In his opinion, it is simply a hell.
He even suspected that the muzzle velocity of the main gun of the Apocalypse tank might have exceeded two kilometers per second.
Such an extremely high muzzle velocity, coupled with the core of the tungsten steel armor-piercing projectile, probably cannot be resisted by any tank in the world.
However, this is not absolute. The quality of a tank is not based solely on data.
The Tiger tanks of World War II were powerful enough, but they were not submerged under the Soviet tank army.
What's more, in modern warfare, it is rare for a single weapon to be singled out. The emphasis is on system combat and coordinated combat.
The best way to destroy tanks is no longer to use tanks against tanks.
Only a strong system is the real foundation, otherwise, even if you have the most powerful tank in the world, if you don't have other perfect supporting capabilities, it will be scum.
"How much does this tank cost? When will it be mass-produced? Will it be sold immediately?" Salman immediately asked Cai Ruichen three questions after his excitement cooled down slightly.
"The technology and performance of the Apocalypse tanks are mature, and they have passed many tests. After a while, they will be deployed in the Iraqi Defense Forces."
Cai Ruichen nodded and continued: "The price for the Iraqi National Defense Forces is determined to be six million dollars each. This is the price of an empty vehicle. There are also a variety of weapon modules to choose from. If you choose to install a large number of additional parts and modules , the final price will exceed 10 million unit price. As for whether to sell to the outside world, this is natural, after all, we are an enterprise, and trade is the foundation of survival."
The highest unit price is 10 million U.S. dollars. At this price, one ordinary third-generation fighter can already be bought. If it is produced by itself, the cost of 10 million U.S. dollars can produce two third-generation fighters.
So when they heard this price, even Salman and others, who were local tyrants, were all a little bit astonished. (To be continued.)
