"What's jumping? What's jumping? Don't you know that high-speed sub-caliber armor-piercing bullets can't ricochet?" An oil tyrant officer was scolding his tank crew in a low voice, but the reporters around him didn't care so much and kept pointing at them.
of shooting.
Of course, the point is not to take pictures of the oil tycoon's tank crew, but to take pictures of the seemingly majestic 'Abrams'. You must know that the current media often broadcasts in real time, and now the audience is very interested in this scene.
The unique tank battle is very interesting.
There are only a few reporters surrounding this monkey version of the Abrams, but the reporters surrounding the Norinco exhibition team are from three floors inside and three floors outside. The flashes of various lenses can blind the eyes, and the microphones are all blinding.
It can poke into the boss's mouth.
"What is the external sales price of China's VT-4?"
"Is there any new breakthrough in VT-4's armor technology?"
"What are the advantages of VT-4 in terms of power and information technology?"
"Hahaha..., 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 currently available in various countries.
.”
Anyway, you won’t be taxed if you brag, so feel free to brag!
The people at General Dynamics stared at the Norinco delegation with jealousy, but they had no intention of complaining now because there were also a lot of reporters who wanted to interview them.
“May I ask why the ‘Abrams’ suffered such a disastrous failure?”
"Can 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 it can gain an advantage on the battlefield?
No matter how the Yankees explain it, the facts are now in front of them. People at General Dynamics now regret that they had planned to sell the monkey version of the tank to the oil tycoon, but now they have completely ruined their own brand.
The crew of Norinco even drove the VT-4 that had been hit by one shot back, and then relieved the GM people. Reporters rushed to the tank to take crazy photos, especially the one whose turret was shot.
Location.
Because the M1A3 version of the 'Abrams' purchased by Zhou Qingfeng in China was so frightening that the VT-4 temporarily exhibited at the exhibition also had thick main armor added. Especially the front of the turret with key protection, the composite
The armor module is almost a meter thick.
Now you can see that the outer shell of the composite armor on the turret has exploded, the inner lining has loosened, and there is a small hole in the center, where the core of the armor-piercing projectile is submerged.
But was there a breakdown?
In order to achieve a better advertising effect, the boss of Norinco ordered the composite armor attached to it to be immediately removed to see how far the foreign trade armor-piercing bullets from the United States had penetrated. The results showed that the nearly one meter thick composite armor was penetrated.
But there is only a shallow pit on the base of the turret.
"I now officially declare that the frontal armor of VT-4 has withstood the test of its American counterparts!" The boss was deliberately disgusting and deliberately pulled out General Dynamics' opponents as targets. When he shouted this, countless people around the world
So excited.
In the past, the tanks of the Rabbit family have been lagging behind for a long time and have been controversial. In particular, the Type 59 tanks and their improved versions have always been the basic assets of the PLA Army. In various jokes, the Type 59 tanks have been modified into Star Destroyers. Isn't this true?
A kind of helpless self-deprecation?
During the Gulf War, the Type 59 and Type 69 tanks sold by Rabbit were ravaged by the United States in every possible way, and their reputation was tarnished. For a long time, "Chinese tanks" were synonymous with junk goods, which even made various domestic elites obsessed with it.
squirted. And today I finally waited for the opportunity to let out a bad breath!
The prince of the oil tycoon also stepped forward, grinned and said: "I completely trust your tanks now. This is exactly the equipment we want."
Thinking about the urinary behavior of big dogs, they will most likely throw away tanks again, and they will throw hundreds of tanks into the desert. The boss of Norinco thought that there were hundreds of orders in front of him, so he immediately threw them away.
I held the wealthy man's hand in front of him and laughed to the point of tears.
Small money, so sweet!
You must know that Saudi Arabia spent billions of dollars to purchase the M1A2sep, and the subsequent training, maintenance and upgrades cost another billion.
You must know that the weapons of the Rabbit family are not cheap now, and the oil tycoons are not short of money. The purchase of several hundred vehicles can allow all employees of Norinco to distribute a few more chicken legs.
But how could General Dynamics be willing to give up such a big deal? In order to restore the decline, its representatives immediately used their trump card - the T51A power armor.
You must know that Rabbit's T-45 series power armor has been selling extremely well recently. Even Mao Xiong deducted some money from military expenditures to sell the production patent of Type A back. The simplified Type B and Type C are also very popular in the Middle East.
The local tycoons have started a large-scale purchasing model.
But at the Defense Exhibition in Abu Dhabi, General Dynamics also officially launched their own powered armor to seize the market for individual weapon platforms. This equipment, which can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, has been regarded by countries around the world as a
A military revolution is unfolding.
"Our T-51A powered armor is completely the crystallization of technology that transcends the times. It is much more powerful than currently known individual weapon platforms. Now let's take a look at its display."
At the General Dynamics booth, a gorgeous-looking humanoid armor was moving flexibly. It was also equipped with a large-caliber machine gun and mounted a variety of 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 Oil Ba also rushed over. He was immediately attracted to this equipment when he saw it with his own eyes. The T-51A is indeed extremely outstanding in terms of flexibility, and it is eye-catching.
A stunning light.
For a country with a completely weak individual soldier, an individual weapon platform with strong defense is really attractive. Seeing that Prince Oil Tyrant was interested, the representative of General Dynamics immediately smiled and said, "Your Highness, maybe we should
Thinking about a tank deal?"
"Tank? I don't think there's anything good to trade for that?" Prince Oil Ba felt unhappy when he thought of the monkey version of the tank he sold for a huge price.
"We can help strengthen the Abrams purchased by your country and improve their defense to the same level as the version used by the US military.
We can also open export contracts for new armor-piercing bullets to ensure that the combat effectiveness of the tanks in your hands is greatly improved. In this way, you no longer need to spend money to buy Chinese products." People at General Dynamics do not want Rabbit arms to spread wantonly in the Middle East.
But Prince Oil Ba still shook his head. He was deceived once because he was careless, and if he was deceived a second time, he really had a brain problem. But the General Dynamics person pointed at the T-51A that was on display at the booth.
Said: "Are you interested in our individual weapon platform?"
"Hmm..., it should be pretty good. However, China's T-45 series is also sold to the outside world, and it has been tested in actual combat. We have already placed an order and will deliver it soon." Prince Oil Pa guessed that GM
What do people want to say.
Compared with American weapons, Rabbit's equipment has improved rapidly in recent years, and no other political conditions are often 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 think about it again."
The special interests of the United States in the Middle East.
Our T-51A is definitely much more powerful than China's T-45. And I hope that the upgrade business of power armor and tanks can be bundled, which will be beneficial to both of us."
Oops... It has risen to the political level. It is not allowed to do business these days!
