"Not bad, really good. This time I replaced the 105mm cannon, which was like... a shotgun replacement." Sharif said an idiom.
In this era, the two countries were brothers. Sharif had studied at the National Defense University before, so he still spoke a lot of Chinese, but it was easier to communicate in English. This time, he said an idiom.
After saying this, the people present at Yima Factory couldn't help but smile bitterly.
I understand what they said even more. This time I came here, I just fell in love with the cannon, and it has nothing to do with anything else.
It seems difficult for us to get an order from them.
Sharif spoke this idiom and felt good about himself. He continued to sigh: "This is a classic Western standard tank gun, which is widely used, and we are quite satisfied with this gun. He is also very satisfied with the integration of it on the 69 tank.
”
"Yes, this is a major leap of our tank technology in recent years." Qin Zhenhua introduced on the side: "Our 69-3 tank is also the master of the past few years. It has good firepower.
With the installation of a new engine, the maneuverability has also reached a higher level. Because the engine power is improved, we can also add more additional armor to its body to achieve a comprehensive improvement in firepower, maneuvering and protection."
Qin Zhenhua is still working hard, and he will not give up until the final stage. After all, everything is difficult at the beginning.
Sharif nodded: "Yes, the upgrade plan for this tank is very suitable. We have a request. Can you send this tank to our country for testing?"
"Of course there is no problem." Qin Zhenhua agreed immediately without even asking Ma Panshan.
In the past, there was direct military aid, so Lao Ba refused everyone and gave it for free. Who would be picky?
But now it’s different. Now there is no more direct military aid. They need to spend money to buy it. So, according to international practice, it is also a necessary procedure for people to ask for a test drive in their country.
The environments of different countries are different. The 59 tanks on our side are mainly adapted to the severe cold areas in the north. They are completely different from the environment of Laopa in the south. They have a hot South Asian climate.
Therefore, it is normal for people to make a test run, and this means they are willing to buy it.
"We are also looking for supporting vehicle air conditioners in China, and may also launch tanks equipped with air conditioners in the future." Qin Zhenhua continued.
This matter is indeed in coordination, but it is not necessary in China, so there is no promotion. Now, the most important thing about Qin Zhenhua is to fool the other party, oh, no, seriously introduce the advantages of his own vehicle.
The geographical situation of the Soviet Union determined that their tanks did not require air conditioning equipment. This kind of iron lump would be tormented when fighting in hot areas. When the sun shines on the inside of the tank, the temperature will definitely exceed forty degrees.
If there is air conditioner, users will definitely like it.
Sure enough, Sharif's eyes showed surprise: "Okay, we're looking forward to it. If the test drive performance is good, we'll probably buy dozens of them."
For a country, dozens of tanks are a drop in the bucket.
Qin Zhenhua's mind was already clear at this time. He knew what the other party wanted to say next, and his guess was completely correct.
"Then, we might have a big improvement project, using this tank gun to improve our existing 59 tank and rejuvenate it. This project, for us, is the most important thing," Sharif said:
"We believe in your technology. I hope we can implement the 59 Tank improvement project as soon as possible."
Lao Ba was anxious.
The opposite India has developed very quickly in recent years. They purchased a large number of T-72 tanks from the Soviet Union and even planned to introduce the Soviet T-72 tank production line, plus their self-developed Arjun tanks,
Therefore, once the next war occurs, Lao Ba's situation will be very embarrassing.
Lao Ba’s army is equipped with complex equipment, including Western tanks like M48, and a large number of 59 tanks as the main force. The 100mm rifled gun of the 59 tank cannot tear the armor of the T-72 tank, so for them
It is imminent to improve the 59 tank at hand and rejuvenate it with new vitality.
In fact, when domestic and foreign propaganda was about to sell tanks, Lao Ba became fond of tanks that had changed their gun barrels. They came for this matter.
Now, they made their request.
As for buying dozens of 69-3 tanks, it is equivalent to a sweet spot. Buy a small amount of money and become the elite of the army, and improve the old tanks a lot to rejuvenate them.
"We are very willing to serve." Qin Zhenhua said.
Lao Ba would not know the inside story of his side. At the same time, no matter how small ant is, it is still meat. It is a business and needs to be done. There is no other choice in the current one-machine factory.
"The 59 tank is equipped with an L7 tank gun, which can rejuvenate our 59 tank, but it is an emergency after all." Qin Zhenhua sorted out his thoughts and began to continue selling.
Hearing him say this, Sharif nodded silently. Why don’t they know?
Now, Western tank technology has been greatly developed, especially with the Leopard-2 tank, which has quickly brought tank technology to a peak.
Lao Ba’s mood is actually the same as that of the domestic army. They were jealous of them, but there was not enough money in their pockets.
The big part of the military expenditure is for the Air Force. They are already planning to sell the money to buy a batch of F-16 fighter jets. The Navy also needs money. How many can it be left to the Army?
Western tanks are tall, but they are too expensive!
"We have been developing new technologies in tanks over the years." Qin Zhenhua looked at the other party's sad expression and knew that he had already hit the other party's worries: "In the past few years, we have made great breakthroughs, if you
If you are interested, we can take you to see our six pairs of heavy wheels.”
For a long time, domestic tanks have been a series of Soviet T-54 tanks, using five pairs of large-diameter load-bearing wheels, with no pulleys on them, forming the famous five pairs of load-bearing wheel series.
It is old, the engine compartment is limited, and it cannot accommodate a larger engine. The inside of the turret is small, and it cannot install a larger caliber tank gun. The body weight is limited and the armor protection cannot be improved. In short, the five pairs of heavy-bearing wheels have come to an end.
.
The new generation of tanks has begun to use six pairs of load-bearing wheels, or even seven pairs of load-bearing wheels.
Hearing Qin Zhenhua's words, Sharif nodded happily: "We are looking forward to it."
