Li Yifeng was very inappropriate, but after Jin Xiaoqiang, who was sitting opposite, heard this answer, he was indeed jumped.

Good boy, this business is really getting bigger and bigger, even if you play with oil, you still dare to engage in arms now? It seems that this guy's cheap cousin in Russia is really good.

"Brother Li, you're not joking with me, are you? Arms business? ”

Jin Xiaoqiang looked at Li Yifeng carefully a few times, and still couldn't believe it, it is indeed a bit too, arms trading, what kind of international jokes?

The current Russia is not the former Soviet Union, and their weapons are really not easy to sell in the international community.

In the past, when it was still the former Soviet Union, they were supported by those large design bureaus of the Soviet Union, so they could compete with the United States in terms of high technology, but the current Russian military industry can really be said to be inferior to a chicken.

In addition to eating the old books of the former Soviet Union, he is still eating the old books of the former Soviet Union, and there is really nothing he can do with his housekeeping skills.

In fact, when it comes to Russia's military industry, although the workmanship is not as sophisticated as that of Europe and the United States, it still has its own uniqueness.

In the era of the former Soviet Union, Russia was one of the world's two major arms giants, and it can be said that it is on a par with the United States.

In terms of sophistication, Russian products are slightly inferior to the Americans, but their tanks and planes can also be exported to the Middle East, South America and other countries in large quantities.

Unlike the Americans, whose tanks and planes could only be sold to some allies of the Alliance, the former Soviet Union completely ignored these.

In terms of low-end weapons, Russia's Kalashnikov, also known as the AK47 rifle, is the world's No. 1 best-selling gun, with more than 100 million sold worldwide.

Therefore, in the former Soviet Union at that time, when it came to arms trading, not only did it not have to be worse than the Americans, but it was also a little stronger.

However, after the collapse of the former Soviet Union, with the disintegration of many of the original state-owned large mechanical design bureaus in Russia and the loss of talents, Russia's military industry has gradually weakened.

In terms of high-end products, with the United States beating Iraq, M1A1 beating the T72 of the former Soviet Union in Iraq, almost all of them are bloodless, so that in terms of high-end weapons and equipment, Russian weapons have been abandoned by many people.

Now Russia's largest arms buyer in the world is only left with India, and the other original big sellers have more or less chosen to give up Russian products, after all, in the eyes of many people, Russian products, compared with American-made products, the quality difference is too great.

There was also the Celestial Empire, a big seller of Russian arms, after the two fell out, the military industry of the Celestial Empire was still following the path of imitating the Russian military industry, but the shortcomings of Russian weapons and equipment in the later period also made the Celestial Empire military choose its own path.

For the time being, although there are many similarities between the Celestial Empire's weapons system and Russia's, they are also very different, and in many ways, they have embarked on a path that is more suitable for them.

At present, the only thing that the Celestial Empire military has to rely on Russia is, that is, fighter jets, in terms of modern jet fighters, because of the difficulties in material technology and processing problems, the Celestial Empire Air Force has tried to independently develop fighters, which has not been very successful, so even now, the main fighters used by the Celestial Empire's Air Force are still from Russia's Su27h and Su30.

In terms of the low-end weapons market, Russia's AK rifles have also been imitated by the Celestial Empire, as well as North Korea's imitations, which have robbed a lot of the market.

Therefore, in recent years, Russia's military products in the world arms market can be said to be facing a large-scale shrinkage, a large number of high-end orders can not be obtained, while low-end orders have been snatched away by high-quality and low-cost Celestial Empire products, so the Russian military has always been very annoyed.

Although Jin Xiaoqiang is not an expert in military weapons, he still has a general understanding of Russia's weapons situation, and now Li Yifeng told him that he wanted to do weapons business with him, which really made him a little confused.

First, he is now doing the arms business as the big boss of a world-renowned automobile company, and he is still a member of the Celestial Empire, which is quite embarrassing. …,

Second, in his opinion, this Russia really can't come up with anything decent, and he really can't think of anything else that the Russian military can come up with to sell.

"Hehe, well, how do you say that? As for this business, in fact, it is mainly a steel business, but if you talk about the arms business, it is not wrong, after all, this business can still be connected with the arms business so little. ”

When Li Yifeng heard Jin Xiaoqiang's question, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then carefully considered and said his opinion.

"Can you elaborate on that?"

Jin Xiaoqiang asked again, and he was also confused by Li Yifeng's statement.

"Does the Russian T72 tank know?"

Li Yifeng raised his eyebrows again, then picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip, and asked Jin Xiaoqiang with a smile.

"Yes!"

Although Jin Xiaoqiang is not a military fan, he still knows the famous Russian T72 tank, and the reason why he knows this tank is mainly because it is this tank that has made the Americans' M1A1 tank famous.

At that time, the pride of Saddam, who was known as invincible in the Middle East, more than 200 T72 tanks of the Allah Division of the Iraqi National Guard, with the cooperation of hundreds of T62 and T55 tanks, and the allies came to a hard encounter, and as a result, after a few rounds of effort, they were dumpled by the Yankees' Apache and M1A1, and since then the Yankees' M1A1 has been known to the world, while the Russian T72 has quickly become a laughing stock and has become junk in the arms market.

Of course, the reason why the Russian T72 tank will be beaten into such a miserable situation in the face of the American tank is not that the Russian tank is not good, but mainly for several reasons.

First, when Russia sold tanks to Iraq, it also kept a hand, and a lot of cash equipment with vehicles was not sold to Iraqis.

The second is that compared with the European and American coalition forces, the Iraqi army has no information superiority and no air superiority, so after that battle, although the reputation of American tanks has risen, there are still many Russian military personnel who are not very convinced, they think that the Iraqis can't beat the Americans, it's not that their tanks can't do it, but that the people who use it can't do it.

And theoretically speaking, the Russian T72 tank can really be called a big legend in the history of the world's tanks, which is the world's most produced, most equipped, and most modified tank.

This tank was developed by the former Soviet Union when it was not very satisfied with the original T55 and T64 tanks, and in 1971, it began to assemble troops.

And it was out of control, and in the end a total of more than 20,000 vehicles were produced, equipped in at least fifteen countries.

The former Soviet Union alone was equipped with no less than 8,500 vehicles at that time.

Therefore, this tank, although it did not perform well on the battlefield in Iraq, must also have its strengths, otherwise so many countries in the world will definitely not be fools and will be equipped with so many tanks of this model.

"Since the collapse of the former Soviet Union, Russia's military spending has not been very sufficient, although now after several years of reform and management by President Putin, Russia's military power is still in a state of decline, and military spending has not been very sufficient. At present, the T72 tank is old, and because of the problem of military spending, many tanks are not very well maintained, coupled with technical improvements, the potential of this tank has been tapped to the limit, so the Russian military intends to eliminate their main battle tank T72 tank, they plan to introduce T90 tanks from next year, and these T72 tanks in service will be dismantled and eliminated. ”

Li Yifeng said this, Jin Xiaoqiang basically understood what he meant, and he felt that this kid wanted to play scrap iron recycling with himself!

"Hehe, Brother Li, I understand what you mean, but how many tanks are there in Russia now?"

To be honest, Jin Xiaoqiang is very interested in such scrap iron, in his last life, he saw on the Internet the fate of those weapons and equipment that were eliminated by the Russian military.

After those big tanks, planes, and some key parts were dismantled, they were still in the open land casually, let the wind and sun blow, rust and waste, and within a few years, those originally hideous war monsters became a pile of broken copper and iron.

At that time, it was the time when the steel price of the Celestial Empire was the strongest, and many netizens left messages below, saying that they were going to Russia to collect the rags, and he also fantasized at that time that if he could take down all the broken copper and iron for so many years, then he would be developed, but he didn't expect that in this life, this dream would come true.

"There should be about 7,500 vehicles in the whole of Russia plus a few particularly close countries such as Belarus and Lithuania, and if you go through some other means, you may be able to get more, not to mention that in the Far East alone, there are more than 2,000 vehicles. The average weight of these T72 plus T72 improvements should be about 45 tons, and if you remove the engine and some key parts, how can you save about 28 to 30 tons of steel, and these are not ordinary steel, but they are all military steel of just high quality, how about it? This deal has to be done, right? ”

Li Yifeng said to Jin Xiaoqiang with a smile.

Well, even if it is 30 tons, a total of 7,500 vehicles, it is only about 200,000 tons, which is really a bit insignificant compared with the domestic steel market of millions of tons and tens of millions of tons in recent years.
