Chapter 1199: Invitation to the Defense Exhibition
The first international defense exhibition has already been held, and in that defense exhibition, the Air Force did not participate, and the Navy did not participate much, and it was almost a one-man show of all kinds of equipment of the Army.
Of course, the navy also has equipment, for example, the French took out their 100 mm naval guns, and it seems that they are still very popular with the navy.
In fact, since it is an international defense exhibition, of course, it is not limited to army weapons, but also navy and air force.
Not to mention anything else, take the largest Abu Dhabi International Defense Exhibition in later generations, this international defense exhibition was held for the first time in 1993, because it is in the area where the rich gather, so this defense exhibition is valued by arms dealers from all over the world, and under the touting, it has become the most important international defense exhibition in the world, and this defense exhibition is a professional exhibition covering the field of land, sea and air defense, and there are various exhibitions.
Not only the big countries in the East, but also a certain country in the south this year will start planning a professional Asian defense exhibition, and they have also invited the government defense decision-makers of various countries, that is, the defense ministers and heads of armed forces, and other senior defense officials, to gather in Kuala Lumpur to exchange views on regional and international defense affairs. They also have the idea of building this international defense exhibition into a high-end defense exhibition in Asia.
In short, if you want to show up, if you want to sell something, you have to find a way to take such a path.
Even the space department has this idea and sells the ballistic missiles they have developed, so how can the Navy's research and development department not have such ambitions?
The navy is the most short of money, the navy is the most in need of money, and now they are putting all their funds into the design of second-generation warships, don't they think that they should take the initiative to go out and make money through the international market?
Hearing Qin Zhenhua's words, Pan Lao shook his head there and smiled bitterly: "Sell? How do we sell it? First, our equipment level is not good, and secondly, we have no sales channels. ”
Hearing that Pan Lao had such an idea, Qin Zhenhua was also helpless: "Pan Lao, our old leaders have said that if you want to emancipate your mind, you must take a bigger step, there are no conditions, and you have to try to create conditions in the same way." ”
The first statement already shows that the big guy has no bottom in his heart.
This is also something that cannot be helped, after all, the navy has not developed at all over the years, when the naval ships of all countries in the world are developing rapidly, and when the Americans have developed Aegis warships for professional air defense, what are the eastern powers doing?
The big countries in the East don't even have a single qualified shipborne anti-aircraft missile! The originally planned Hongqi-61 was intended to be an important shipborne air defense missile, but after so many years, it was not until this year that it was ready to carry out a finalized test, and moreover, this missile could not fold its wings, resulting in a huge launcher, so their second-generation destroyers were planned to use the Sea Sidewinder missile imported from France.
At this level, who will buy it?
The C801 series of anti-ship missiles of the eastern powers are comparable to the Exocet missiles, which were famous in the Falklands naval battle, and were once exhibited in the last military parade and were called the Oriental Exocet.
But what's the use of only missiles? The ships of other countries are either anti-aircraft or anti-submarine, or there is no professional anti-ship type, what about their own side? Can your own warships still be sold against ships? That's not the point at all, it's just a piggybacking function.
The strength of his own warships is insufficient, so naturally there is no possibility of export, first of all, the big guy himself has no confidence in his heart.
"Heaven and earth are all things, snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths, cats have cat paths, and dogs have dog paths." Qin Zhenhua said: "Advanced weapons, there is an advanced way to sell, weapons are backward, there is a backward way to sell, is our 59 tank backward?" Recently, another batch was sold, and the customers in Africa are very satisfied. Your warships, no matter how backward they are, can be sold as long as they find the right customers. I don't believe it, our navy is the most backward in the world, and there is no navy more backward than ours. ”
Pan Lao's eyes lit up, yes, we always feel that our equipment is backward, but there are many countries that are backward than us, as long as we find a way, we will definitely be able to sell, if we don't make up our minds, there will never be a breakthrough, everything is difficult at the beginning.
"As for the lack of channels, it's even simpler, we're going to hold an international defense exhibition this year, you can take the ships you can get your hands on, make models, propaganda brochures, and put them on our international defense exhibition, won't this be able to show up to the world? This is how our 155-mm guns were chosen by the people of the waterless country. Qin Zhenhua said.
If you don't have a chance, you can find a way to create an opportunity, and the living can still suffocate urine?
Qin Zhenhua completely opened up his mind to everyone, and someone below said: "If this is the case, it is better for us to export to the outside world, or to focus on small ships, after all, we have done this before, and small warships are low in cost, low in price, and easy to maintain and use." ”
In the past, it was exported, of course, in the previous era, it was not sold, but military aid, at that time, the country did not have anything to handle, the navy based on air diving fast, mainly small speedboats, also exported a lot at that time.
051 Brigade Major, I am like a baby, how can I be willing to take out military aid. Now, if you sell your own destroyers, even the most advanced 052 class under development, you will not be able to occupy a performance advantage, and the price is still high, and potential customers will definitely not be able to look at it.
Therefore, you must find your own advantages.
Hearing this, Pan Lao also agreed: "That's right, make our 053 level into a delicate large-scale model and take it to the International Defense Exhibition!" ”
The second-generation destroyer, I haven't started to build it yet, at this time I took it out and sold it, it is estimated that no buyer is willing to buy it, and people will have concerns, and they are not stupid, but their own country, the 053 class, which has been heavily equipped, just meets this demand, the price is cheap, the displacement is moderate, and the suitable near-water patrol of weak countries is used, and even in China, it is constantly being built.
053 class frigate, called Jianghu class frigate abroad, this frigate was born in the seventies, belongs to the first type of equipment to the sea missile frigate built completely independently, the design idea is "to build instead of repair", this statement, also quite a sense of age, at that time, a large number of old frigates are at the end of their vitality, maintenance costs are too high, so, the Navy simply build new frigates, with the way to build new ships instead of maintaining old warships, so that completely based on domestic existing equipment for rapid construction, Counter the growing naval threat to the opposite shore.
