Of course, your company is famous, especially the M2 infantry fighting vehicle, which is even more enviable. Qin Zhenhua said: "Since you know Mr. Thomas, you should know that we are currently preparing an international defense exhibition, right?" Do you want to participate in the exhibition of your M2 infantry fighting vehicles? ”

This time I came to the United States, one purpose was to see the Jaguar tank, and the other purpose was to attract some manufacturers to participate in the exhibition.

The other party must have done it on purpose.

The M2 infantry fighting vehicle, on the whole, can also represent a high-end level of the American military industry, it is tall, there is a double turret on it, and it can also launch anti-tank missiles, the US army plans to equip thousands of units, since it has been selected by the US army, it must be a good product.

If such a thing is taken to China, it will definitely cause a sensation, and the big guys have never seen it.

The M1 tank will not pass, and this M2 infantry fighting vehicle participating in the exhibition will definitely make your own side shine.

"Well, we can send the M2 infantry fighting vehicle over, but we are not optimistic about its sales in the region." Johnson said seriously: "After all, it's a bit expensive. ”

The equipment of the Americans is not cheap, this M2 infantry fighting vehicle is the main force of the American army, down to each infantry platoon, there will be four, and the price of this infantry fighting vehicle is high, there is also a reason, for example, in order to reduce the weight as much as possible while still having a good defensive capability, so, it uses a lot of aluminum alloy armor!

Specifically, the front front armor and top armor of the vehicle are made of 5083 aluminum alloy, the side inclined armor is made of 7039 aluminum alloy, although the rear of the hull and the vertical armor on both sides are gap armor, a total of four layers, the last layer is also a 25.4 mm aluminum armor back plate, and the bottom armor of the car is made of 5083 aluminum alloy.

What is this for? Of course, in order to reduce the weight of the car, for a globally deployed army like the United States, the lighter the weight, the more convenient it is to transport it by air.

This aluminum alloy, unlike lunch boxes, doors and windows, is specially developed, the strength can reach half of steel, and the weight is only one-third, so, even stronger than steel in the same quality, because of these advantages, as early as the M113 armored car, the Americans began to use aluminum alloy armor.

The Americans have a lot of money and don't care about aluminum alloy, but other countries can't afford it, and there is no way to use aluminum alloy for aircraft, and when it is used in armored vehicles, who can afford to equip it?

Therefore, they know that even in the past exhibitions, they were rarely able to get orders, and they paid more attention to those customers with deep pockets, and they did not go to many international defense exhibitions in the way of direct door-to-door sales.

Qin Zhenhua nodded: "Yes, the price is a big problem, if it wasn't for the price problem back then, we would have purchased a large number of Leopard-2 tanks." ”

It's no secret that when I went to Europe to investigate, I went to the Leopard-2, but what? The high price of the Leopard-2 tank finally discouraged people, and the country had to base itself on its own foundation and slowly improve the tank, and the advanced ones could not afford it.

If they want to go to the big eastern countries to participate in the exhibition, they are aiming at the markets of the big eastern countries, or the countries around the big eastern countries, but these countries are almost all poor countries, so they are very sensible and do not have any hope.

"It's a pity, the overall design of the M2 infantry fighting vehicle is still quite good." Qin Zhenhua said: "Especially its weapon system, which is the best choice for infantry fighting vehicles. ”

On the roof of the M2 infantry fighting vehicle, there is a special turret, and the main weapon mounted on it is a M242 25 mm chain gun, with a high pitch range.

This kind of machine gun is widely used in armed helicopters and other weapons, using two-way single-channel ammunition feeding, and the overall design is quite advanced. At the same time, the supporting fire control system is also good.

Any infantry fighting vehicle in the country does not have a dual-stable platform, and the weapon can only be fired when it is stopped, although it can be hit when it moves, but it is difficult to hit.

The turret also uses General Electric's turret drive and stabilization system, which has the ability to shoot on the march when off-road.

"yes, our turret is pretty good." Speaking of these, it is obvious that Johnson on the other side became excited: "Our body is too expensive for you to afford, so can we combine it and find a suitable chassis from you, add our turret, and combine it into an advanced infantry fighting vehicle to sell it to the world." ”

The other party thinks the same as Gage's company!

Although the M2 infantry fighting vehicle is already very profitable, no one thinks that they have a lot of money, and they always have to find new channels, and at present, this is what they can think of.

The eastern powers have obvious cost advantages, and it is quite cheap to use the eastern powers to manufacture the car body, but the weapon systems and fire control systems of the eastern powers are too poor, so that they can form a new weapon system by finding a chassis from the eastern powers and installing their own turrets.

"Absolutely." Qin Zhenhua said.

"Find a mature tracked chassis that can be sold in large quantities, so that it can be equipped with our weapon system and prepare to open up the international arms sales market." Johnson continued.

Qin Zhenhua originally wanted to talk about his own wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, but the other party is now interested in the tracked chassis.

This is also understandable, after all, the opponent's original M2 infantry fighting vehicle is a tracked chassis.

As for the domestic, it is also very easy to find a qualified tracked chassis, Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle!

This infantry fighting vehicle, the overall good, is the 73 mm low-pressure smoothbore gun, the performance is really poor, now it's easy to say, directly squat the turret here, and it will soon be able to be tinkered out, okay, can you also participate in the international defense exhibition in November?

"In our country, there is an infantry fighting vehicle, which is very similar to the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle, what do you think of this chassis?" Qin Zhenhua asked.

BMP-1？ You are a big country in the East, and you really know how to copycat, but this chassis is of course the best! Just like the 59 tank, the number is huge, and the potential for modification is great.
