Speaking of the oil tyrants in the Middle East, they are so rich that they make people envious and jealous. Their weapons and equipment are full of "local tyrant style".
They bought 460 French AMX-30B2 tanks back then. During the Gulf War, they were beaten by Iraq's old Type 69 tanks in Khafji. So they felt that these junks were not useful and threw them all into the "reserves".
——To put it bluntly, just leave it in the desert and ignore it.
Then they replaced them with 400 M60A3 tanks used by the Americans, and soon threw them all away. What a pity, the "fourth class" of the US military fought the Gulf War in these tanks.
The oil tycoon disliked the "Patton" being too old, so he immediately replaced it with 442 of the latest American M1A2 tanks. Later, all these tanks were modified into M1A2sep, which was in sync with the US military... It can be said to be high-end and classy.
Simple is just one word - Hao!
But no matter which country exports tanks, it will always leave behind armor and shells. The original M1 basic model used ceramic composite armor, and its defense capability against armor-piercing bullets was only equivalent to a 350 mm homogeneous steel plate.
But in the process of continuous improvement, Yingjiang added depleted uranium armor to the M1 tank. Although it was mostly damaged in the Iraq War, it was attacked from the side and rear, and it remained invincible from the front.
What about the M1A2sep that the oil tycoon bought at a huge price? It seems that it was penetrated in the front by an old-fashioned anti-tank missile from the 1970s when fighting guerrillas not long ago - not only the furry bear buys the monkey version of the weapon, but also Yingjiang
Do this.
Damn, you spent a lot of money to sell such a bunch of junk. How can the oil tycoon feel better? Do you still remember what happened to the French AMX-30B2 before? The big dog never thinks about whether his army is too bad, he only thinks it is the equipment.
Too bad. I want to get new toys now.
But now that the oil tyrant prince saw that Rabbit's VT-4 had released the latest armor-piercing bullets, he immediately pulled out the scrapped Abrams. He was asked by name to hit the place with the strongest frontal defense of the turret.
This gameplay attracted the attention of the whole world, but the people at General Dynamics were pale - they knew very well what kind of crap they sold to the oil tyrants. The M1A2sep in the hands of the oil tyrants was still in its initial streaking state, and had no depleted uranium armor at all.
.
"What should we do now? This kind of open test must be stopped, otherwise that Kaizi will come to buy our tanks in the future?" The people from General Dynamics first expressed to the oil tycoon's prince whether a "more professional" test could be conducted.
But the prince is not stupid, so he doesn't want anything "more professional". He has long been very angry with Americans for selling junk goods, and they just want to expose this layer of skin!
On the other hand, the boss of Norinco was extremely happy. It was no secret that anything happened in the military industry. It was common knowledge that the Abrams produced by the oil giant's foreign trade was not as good as the original version. It was really cool to advertise in public.
Got it!
All right..., VT-4, give it to me!
The 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 Norinco increased the difficulty of the demonstration and required the tank crew to shoot while running -
—This is much more beautiful than static-on-silent target practice.
The media is so damn excited. Just introducing how heavy the tank is, how thick the gun is, and how thick the armor is is not interesting to the audience. Only tit-for-tat shots can increase the value of the news.
Countless shots were taken at once, and countless reporters swarmed in. The temporary shooting range was surrounded by water. There were even drones shooting from the air, striving to report in all directions and without blind spots.
When the oil tyrant prince was in position, the live ammunition demonstration began immediately. The crew driving the VT-4 accelerated from a kilometer away. The car body was bumping, but the muzzle was pointed steadily to the side. The target was locked and blasted out with one shot!
The high-temperature gunfire stirred up huge dust, and the high-speed camera captured a black shadow flying out of the flames, directly hitting the 'Abrams' two kilometers away. The speed of the tail-stabilized shelling armor-piercing projectile was nearly two thousand meters per second.
Hit the target in just one breath.
There was a thunderous explosion two kilometers away, and fire broke out everywhere. The huge smoke and dust covered the tank that was used as a target. Prince Oil Pa stood up from his seat on the high platform, stretched his neck and asked doubtfully: "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 picture captured by the high-speed camera on a large screen. The onlookers could clearly see that a small bullet core accurately hit the Abrams.
Turret front.
The high-speed bullet core penetrated the turret armor easily like a piece of jelly. It not only penetrated the armor, but in the next shot, it even penetrated the entire vehicle body and came out from the rear of the tank.
Flying!
Cool!
The scene was filled with exclamations, and the CEO of Norinco and his employees were so happy. The oil tycoon prince was also very satisfied with the result, and he also kept applauding to express his happiness. However, after being happy for a few seconds, his face collapsed - Damn, thief
As expected, Ying sold a bunch of junk to me.
It's just that the media doesn't care how deep the psychological shadow of the prince is at the moment, and they are trying their best to come up for an interview. But the people at General Dynamics hate it to death. The crappy goods they sell are now completely exposed.
"Your Excellency, we think this test is unfair. Why not let the florist's VT-4 be used as a target and try our Abrams' armor-piercing projectile?" In order to restore its reputation, General Dynamics'
People also forget about moral integrity.
People at GM thought that if the artillery shells of both sides could penetrate each other, such a result would be barely acceptable. It would also be able to regain some of the decline in future arms sales promotions. Prince Oil Overlord was also very interested when he heard this - he was
It would be better if you go through the Yingjiang trap to gain some experience. After all, rabbits are not good people either.
If the Rabbit's tank defense is as bad as the monkey version of the Abrams, wouldn't it be brushed off again? And GM people still have some confidence in their own artillery shells - Great American's armor-piercing projectile technology
But it is unique in the world!
At this time, the boss of Norinco was a little hesitant. After all, the advertising was so good now that it was natural to stop it when it was good. He had a reason to refuse this kind of test. After all, what the oil tycoon pulled out was a damaged tank, and they
The VT-4 is intact.
However, the oil tyrant prince was not short of money. He said on the spot - Rabbit, how much does your VT-4 cost? I bought it as a target. If you want my order, you must pass today's test.
Damn it, the big dog owner is being unreasonable!
Eagle's Abrams weighs more than 60 tons, while Rabbit's VT-4 only weighs more than 40 tons. The difference in tonnage is the difference in defense. At least it has a few more armor plates.
But right now, it’s impossible to rush the ducks to put them on the shelves. If the egg is shrunk, the advertising effect that was finally established will be greatly reduced. Just when the boss was gritting his teeth and thinking of words, a technician on the side stepped forward and whispered a few words, "Boss, our tank
Maybe I can bear it."
"Really?" The boss looked surprised.
The technician whispered again: "I don't know what kind of stimulation the country has been feeling recently, and we are thinking about developing a new generation of tanks and improving the defense of existing tanks. Our VT-4 was strengthened before the exhibition, and the frontal armor was greatly improved. Maybe it can be
Withstand the foreign trade armor-piercing bullets from the United States."
Thinking that I can really withstand the opponent's bombardment, my reputation has exploded! This means that I can only hit you, but you can't hit me. The boss of Norinco finally decided to take a gamble - I will fight as long as I want, and I will let you fight!
VT-4 was in position and was pulled two thousand meters away. The oil tyrants mobilized an "Abrams" of their own, but they could not play dynamic versus static shooting and could only kill the target.
Under the intense attention of the media again, the tank crew of the oil tycoon blasted out. Everyone in the smoke and dust subconsciously looked at the big screen, and the high-speed camera showed - missed, missed the target!
"By God, this is our best tank driver. If you can't hit, there is definitely something wrong with the tank sold by Thief Eagle." Prince Oil Ba's face turned dark, "Keep hitting until you hit."
The second shot..., boom!
A second later everyone looked at the slow motion on the big screen - it really hit the mark.
The technicians of Norinco held their breath, and the VT-4 crew's eyes widened. The boss didn't dare to look at it. He even regretted being in the limelight, and was wondering what to say in front of the media in case of a puncture.
good?
"What's the situation?" The boss lowered his head, but felt that the atmosphere around him was not right. People under the big screen tilted their necks to watch the slow-speed video playback, no one exclaimed or made any noise, there was only silence.
On the other hand, the oil bully's tank crew got out of the turret and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Ricochet, we failed to penetrate their armor!"
