A dozen new, old or broken tanks were parked in the large warehouse of the Baicheng Weapons Testing Center. These were all good goods obtained by Zhou Qingfeng. After verification, or being frightened, the government happily paid for these equipment.
$50 million was paid.
Ordinarily, if only counting equipment, these tanks with different models and conditions are not worth 50 million US dollars. But considering the value behind these tanks, 50 million US dollars is too cheap.
"We have completed preliminary testing work, and the most surprising one is the US military M1A3 Abrams, which is said to be still in the testing stage.
The inter-vehicle information system on it has been upgraded to the third generation, and the infrared thermal imaging camera has also been replaced with a full-color model. In terms of electronic technology, the ammunition it uses is also quite advanced, and it can be said that its combat effectiveness is significantly higher than our 99A."
Due to the surprising discoveries made in the testing work of these tanks, the Rabbit Ministry of National Defense and even the Ordnance Industry Corporation, as well as multiple tank scientific research units, sent additional personnel to conduct research. As a result, the warehouse was crowded with people, and all of them were of high level.
high.
The performance of the 99A tank that is currently the main force of the Rabbit family in land warfare has risen to the world-class level. It has a high-performance high-horsepower engine, a hydromechanical gearbox, a hydraulic dual-flow steering device, and its own hydraulic brakes.
This is already a top-notch luxury item in the tank industry.
As for the shortcomings of 99A, there is no doubt that it is a big flaw in terms of firepower. The penetration depth of the so-called 'third-phase bomb' is about 700 mm, which is still far behind the US military's M829A3, and the upgrade potential is almost exhausted. And the United States
I actually came up with an A5 bullet with a penetration depth of over 1000 mm.
It can only be said that Lao America’s technical reserves are too deep!
"We have arranged to conduct more tests on the M829A5 bomb. It can be said with certainty that China currently has many deficiencies in cutting-edge metallurgy and chemistry, and is lagging far behind in a series of technologies such as bullet cores, propellants and filling."
A chief engineer sighed at first, but then changed the topic and laughed loudly: "This time the national security department has made a great contribution. Not only did they obtain live ammunition and artillery, it is said that they are sure to obtain relevant technology.
We are no different now than we were back then. In the past, we had technology but no supporting industrial system. Now many things are like a layer of window paper to us. If we pierce it, we can make huge progress."
With the words of the chief engineer, the leaders' brows relaxed slightly. In fact, Zhou Qingfeng really sold the relevant information about M829A5 at a good price not long after, and in the process of studying the information, the country decided to first
Breakthroughs were made in the technology of propellants and fire tubes.
The American M829 series has a unique skill when it reaches the A3 stage. Its shells no longer require a fire tube, and the core can be made very long. Other countries have made similar attempts, but the result is only one... it explodes directly.
chamber.
And now that there is a huge amount of information sent by Zhou Qingfeng, the result is that Norinco will trial-produce a batch of improved ammunition in small batches half a month later. However, the military is not satisfied and believes that it is too different from the best ammunition of the US military.

Among flower growers, products that have been eliminated from the military industry are often pushed to the foreign trade market. It happened to be that Abu Dhabi, a wealthy country, was holding a defense exhibition, so the wealthy people in the Middle East saw the VT-4 tanks at the exhibition. The tanks were still the same.
, there is a new type of ammunition that can be attached.
"Your armor-piercing projectile has a penetration depth of 2,000 meters and a penetration depth of 750 millimeters?" A turban-wearing oil tycoon prince stood in front of the Rabbit Northern Industries booth and looked at the several artillery shells placed in front of the tank with delighted eyes.
In addition to the display of grenades, armor-piercing projectiles, armor-piercing projectiles and other types of ammunition, there is also a cross-sectional model of an armor-piercing projectile and a homogeneous steel plate shot at 60 degrees. There is an extremely conspicuous penetration mark on the steel plate.
The local tycoons in the Middle East have never paid attention to the quality of their soldiers, but they like to pursue the world's most advanced equipment. But to be honest, they don't understand the equipment system and can only pay great attention to certain hard indicators, such as the penetration depth of tank guns - penetration.
The deeper it is, the more powerful it is!
Prince Oil Pa stretched out his arm and made a rough estimate. The penetration depth on the average steel plate in front of him was obviously more than 700 mm. You must know that the armor-piercing bullets currently exported by the United States are only about 650 to 700 mm - even the most advanced ones from the United States.
Ammunition is not sold casually.
Now Rabbit has actually started selling armor-piercing bullets with a penetration depth of more than 700 millimeters, which is completely overturning the table and destroying the market!
Prince Oil Ba's attention naturally aroused the curiosity of countless people, and various media outlets also focused on this new armor-piercing projectile. The boss of Norinco quickly came out to receive the big boss, and military personnel from other countries inevitably came to collect information.
John Bull came, the Gallic Chicken came, Hans Cat came, the Woolly Bear came, and finally the unbelievable Eagle Sauce also sent people. When others only focused on the homogeneous steel plate that was penetrated
, a true expert would immediately fixate on the cross-sectional model of the armor-piercing projectile.
Rabbit's armor-piercing projectile technology made a breakthrough. They overcame the danger of exploding the barrel, eliminated the fire tube, and inserted the core of the armor-piercing projectile straight to the end. This power is at least 20% higher than in the past!
The armor-piercing bullets that Rabbit used in the past had a penetration depth of about 600 millimeters for two thousand meters. This time, they actually used ammunition with a penetration depth of 750 millimeters to hit the scene. This shows that the ammunition they used for their own use has exceeded 750 millimeters.
"Can the penetration depth of your armor-piercing bullets really exceed 750 mm?" Representatives from General Dynamics and the US Army were very skeptical about Norinco's display ammunition, because their mainstream M829A3 bullets have similar power.
You must know that the increase in the power of the tank gun will inevitably force the tank to improve its defense. In fact, what the Abrams tank is most proud of is not how powerful its gun is, but the various experiences it has experienced in actual combat.
Challenge and prove that your defense is very reliable.
Rabbit, you come up with this kind of cannonball and sell it, don’t you want to slap us in the face? It’s really bad!
The opponent's question is a challenge. The boss of Norinco is discussing business with the oil tycoon prince, and there is room for slander. This blocker of people's way of making money, such as killing their parents, he said on the spot, "We can fire a few live rounds to see if it is
Our artillery shells are powerful, but your armor is strong enough."
Fuck..., these Chinese are eating gunpowder!
Regarding the confidence of Norinco, the people from Yingjiang didn't dare to answer the question casually, but Prince Youba liked this kind of straightforward competition too much. After all, professional tests are not something ordinary people can understand, so it is better to just go on the field and shoot a few rounds.
Rabbit's new artillery shells here are going to be tested with live ammunition, and the media at the entire defense exhibition are in a sensation. After all, the static and dynamic displays have already bored the audience, so it would be interesting to have a few live ammunition!
Abu Dhabi is a place full of open areas with long yellow sand. In order to make the test more challenging, the oil tycoon princes even had an M1A2sep ‘Abrams’ specially equipped with their own equipment.
The Americans turned green when they saw this scene, because they sold this Abrams to the oil tyrants. But the oil tyrants didn't know how to use it, and it would be destroyed even if they were fighting guerrillas.
The oil tycoon's tycoon aura took over, and what he pulled out was a destroyed Abrams. They didn't intend to repair it, so they simply used it as a target and asked to hit the thickest part of the frontal armor directly.
The media was even more excited now - which one is more powerful, Eagle Sauce's armor? Or is Rabbit's cannonball more powerful?
