Whether it is the ground tank development unit that has attracted Pakistan to invest in the development of the 85-2AP tank, or the PLZ45 artillery that has received Kuwait's purchase intention, or the FC-17 fighter jointly developed by multiple parties.

At any time it can be regarded as a moving project, but these three cooperation have reached a preliminary intention in a defense exhibition, which is very strong proof that the defense equipment exhibition is very successful, in the four-day defense exhibition, the last day of the three parties all chose to announce cooperation at the exhibition.

The first thing to do was the Pakistani 85-2AP tank cooperation program, when the chief engineer and the Pakistani side walked up to the rostrum of the press conference and sat down, the major news media units from the Republic of China, and some professional media from abroad were frowning and thinking, which obviously showed that Pakistan and the Republic have some major military cooperation projects.

Although he didn't say much, his serious expressions were so focused, and he pricked up his ears to hear what big projects were going to be announced.

The two parties to the project are not pretentious at all, first signing a cooperation framework in front of everyone, and then exchanging contracts with each other, after which they are announced to the public.

"Now we announce the official start of the China-Pakistan 85-2AP main battle tank joint research and development project, which will be jointly developed by the two sides to deliver a new generation of main battle tanks to Pakistan for manufacturing and equipping the Pakistani army."

There were only a few short sentences, but Yang Hui, who participated in this press conference, remembered more memories in the ear hall on the side, about the current 85-2AP tank. As far as Yang Hui knows, this project is not very successful, but the development of this project has ushered in the dawn in the end.

The development of this main station tank is not inferior to the road of the China-Pakistan Thunder Dragon fighter in later generations. It also went through ups and downs, and in the end, this tank had a familiar name: the Khalid main battle tank.

Maybe I shouldn't be able to do what I can to help

Heard here announced cooperation on a new generation of main battle tanks. In the eyes of reporters and international personalities of the Republic, they only know the Type 69 tank that the Republic is hyping up and at the same time colliding with each other on the battlefield between Iran and Iraq.

The Type 69 gives people an impression that it is not bad, it is not even as good as the old tanks such as the Western Leopard 1, M60, and T62, and now what level of tank should the development of a new generation of main battle tanks be?

"Hello, I'm a reporter from the weekly xxxx, and I want to ask which generation of tanks does the so-called new generation of this tank refer to? According to me, the Type 69 tank of the Chinese Republic is still inferior to the Leopard 1 tank, is the new generation of tanks aimed at this level of tanks? ”

Hearing this reporter's cognition, he only stayed at the Type 69 tank, completely ignorant that the Republic still has the Type 80 tank, as well as the Type 88 tank that has just been finalized. Now the new generation of tanks announced in 88 will still be of this old class, is this reporter's brain flooded?

The chief teacher here was so angry that his beard was cocked, but fortunately, the Pakistani side stood up earlier, and Pakistan would definitely not agree to this kind of problem.

"Regarding the number of generations of this new tank main battle tank, we in Pakistan have made it clear that the main opponent of the new tank will be the Indian T72 main battle tank, and we don't care too much about how many generations of the main battle tank this is."

That's called a blunt, let's not care how many generations of tanks this is, as long as we can fight the T72, it's enough. If that isn't clear enough, there's no need to explain it anymore.

There are still various questions to be asked later, but there is obviously not that much time for the press conference here, and there are other projects lined up in the future. Nature keeps everything simple and mysterious.

Then the procession in Arab robes appeared, and the familiarity reminded some of the veteran drivers of Saudi Arabia, which has always had good relations with the Republic. After all, the procurement of military equipment between the two countries was really in the limelight in previous years.

And when the two sides of the project showed up the national flag, the reporters in the audience were dumbfounded. When did this republic hook up with another bay tyrant? Hasn't a Saudi Arabian tyrant been able to satisfy his appetite, this is the rhythm of completely handing over all the tyrants in the Arab region.

didn't wait for the reporter here to react. The Kuwaiti side slapped the table with a big grin and motioned for the reporter to be quiet, and then began to announce the cooperation.

"The State of Kuwait will launch a tender for the procurement of a new generation of self-propelled guns, and the PLZ45 self-propelled artillery of the Republic of China is undoubtedly a sufficiently advanced self-propelled artillery, Kuwait will include this model of self-propelled artillery in the bidders, and provide 8 million US dollars for the development of the project, and it is expected that the entire project will start bidding demonstrations in 90."

As soon as these words came out, reporters from Western countries were silent, Kuwait's self-propelled artillery tender actually included this little-known PLZ45 self-propelled gun in the shortlist, does this mean

First of all, some American journalists who know the inside story of the Kuwaiti self-propelled artillery procurement project: "Kuwait's inclusion of this PLZ45 self-propelled gun in the tenderer, does this mean that the previously scheduled procurement of American M109 self-propelled guns will no longer be valid?" ”

The American reporter is so reasonable, it is clear that Kuwait is not interested in the M109 promoted by the Americans, and the Americans are still trying their best to buy and sell it, and now they are actually making a decision for the Kuwaiti army in front of so many people with such fanfare, which is really unbearable.

Dissatisfied with the United States' style, it is natural that they will express something in their answers, and in the face of the American reporter's question, the Kuwaiti side dropped a sentence.

"Kuwait does have the idea of purchasing a new generation of self-propelled artillery, but it has never said that it must purchase M109 artillery, and what you said about Kuwait has decided to purchase M109 artillery is even more groundless, and Kuwait needs diversified weapons and equipment procurement channels. All other questions will not be answered, and the project launch will end! ”

After the words were here, he immediately stepped down from the rostrum, but let the artillery developers of the republic have some ideas, and understood something from the dialogue here, and silently had some calculations in his heart, and then waved his hand and left with his things, and found the Kuwaiti side to continue to discuss the follow-up issues.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was a little embarrassing, other media colleagues looked at the American reporter who had just asked the question with disdain, and everyone had their own scales in their hearts, and naturally they were very ashamed of the behavior of US imperialism.

Fortunately, after the exhibition official discovered this situation, they quickly changed their plans, and the purchase orders for various types of finished weapons, which were originally supposed to be half an hour later, were also brought up one by one because both sides were willing to make the procurement project public.

Hongdu's K8 momentum in this air show is very good, because the K8 official model delivery began, not only Pakistan's K8 trainer was set, and then won dozens of Thailand's purchase intentions, it can be described as a spring breeze proud, and Southwest Science and Industry, which accounts for 50% of the development share, will also benefit greatly from the K8 trainer project.

Behind is a naval procurement contract, and the order for the Wasp-class missile speedboat from Bangladesh can be regarded as making the development of naval equipment in this defense exhibition.

As for some other projects, they can not be decided at a glance, and more need to be negotiated by many parties, and the procurement of military equipment needs to be cautious and cautious.

After all, this will be a cooperative project for the development of third-generation fighters, and its huge influence is best used to make the finale of the exhibition. (To be continued.) )
