Chapter 1312: A low-key model

This tank ranking must pay the most attention to the Western world, so there will be no problem with putting the Soviets' tanks in the back row, at least in the current situation, Qin Zhenhua doesn't feel that there is anything wrong.

The Soviets' tanks have always been outside their borders, ready to roll down the torrent of armor at any time, so should we let our own side publicize how powerful the Soviets' tanks are?

Of course, it's impossible, it's okay to belittle moderately, despise the enemy strategically, attach importance to the enemy tactically, and now we are engaged in this international tank ranking, which belongs to strategy.

Now, Qin Zhenhua lined up the two tanks of the Soviets, and then, thinking of something, continued: "Even if the Soviets want to protest, we can tell them that we have only evaluated their T-72 tanks, and have not come into contact with T-80 tanks, and the ranking of T-80 tanks is estimated by us based on the existing data, so if they want to prove the strength of their tanks, they will hand over their tanks to us for testing." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone laughed.

This is a tiger skin to make a big flag.

Originally, we shouldn't have given you a ranking of the T-80, because you didn't give us this tank for testing at all, so we could make your tank rank fifth and sixth, which is also very face-saving, and it shouldn't have been up.

"Did we review their T-72?" Nie Qianqian on the side asked, obviously, she was very interested in Qin Zhenhua's statement.

"That's right, we have one in the factory, and when you need to write a special issue of the T-72 in a few months, I can take you to see it." Qin Zhenhua said.

That tank is a good friend's, they brought the tank over, just let their own side study it, a few months later? The new armor-piercing bullet specially developed for them was also tested, and they should be satisfied, and by that time? How many of your own reporters are going to go up and experience it? Why not?

Test yours? That's up to you, and not everyone is eligible for our test.

"Well, great? What is the content of our 8*9 main draft? It's almost all over the place. Nie Qianqian nodded with satisfaction: "It's sixth place, next, there are still four positions?" How is this arranged? ”

Tank leaderboards? That's to rank the top 10? Now there are six? What about the remaining four?

"Seventh? Ram tank in Italy. "Qin Zhenhua according to his own train of thought? Then in the lower row, the professional international weapons evaluation team is right in front of us, we are not cheating, we are seriously appraising.

"Italy? Ram tank? "Heard Qin Zhenhua's words? Everyone was a little strange: "I haven't heard of it!" ”

That's right? In the Western world? Britain, France and Germany have always been powerful countries, and Germany is an industrial power? The Leopard-2 tank is highly respected throughout Europe, and the French themselves can boast the most, yours are three generations, then ours is four generations, in short, it is better than you, and Britain is a declining empire, and it is an unbalanced product that only pays attention to protection.

These are all well-known to the world, and in comparison, the Italians have a much smaller chance of appearing.

Italy has always been a very embarrassing role, in World War II, it belonged to the soy sauce fighter, or the first to defect, but it is precisely because of this that people have not been attributed to the defeated country, but it has not been divided and occupied like the tragic Germany, until now.

There are many legends in Italy, most of them are scandalized, the combat effectiveness of the Noodle Army belongs to the lowest and the like, in fact, these are not true, at least there is no crowbar to surrender without opening the ammunition box, that is impossible.

Italy's sense of presence has always been low, but it is precisely because of this that there are a lot of low-key cooperation between the Italian military industry and the country.

For example, in 1985, the country acquired a small number of B.515S three-barreled 324-mm torpedo launchers and 40 A.244S light anti-submarine torpedoes from the Italian company Alenia. After decades, the Navy finally had a reliable anti-submarine torpedo, and at the same time, it also received the DE-1164 Hull/Variable Depth Integrated Sonar System, which could detect underwater targets at a distance of 50 kilometers.

In terms of the Air Force, CAIC, Factory 320 and the Electronic Equipment Division of Staletia Italia signed an agreement in July 1986 to cooperate in the development of the J-5M aircraft in the form of joint investment, risk sharing and profit sharing. Although this project was ultimately lost, it also reflected the good desire of the military industry of the two sides to work together.

At the same time, Italy's greatest contribution should be the Pit Viper missile, the domestic introduction of the missile's seeker, and finally completed the country's first medium-range air-to-air missile Thunderbolt-11, although the final production is not much because of time delays, but it is of great significance to the Air Force.

The cooperation with Italy's military industry is much smoother, not as ruthless as the French for price, and not as technologically advanced as the Germans for not exporting, Italy is very interesting.

This opportunity, of course, is also to sell the Italians a face, so that it can also deepen the friendship between the two sides. Look at these people around you, they don't know that Italy actually has a modern tank, so in this international weapons ranking, this ram tank will definitely become the most mysterious tank, attracting the curiosity of many people, and at the same time advertising for the Italians.

"We know that the Italians have a Lion tank, but this tank uses the chassis of the Leopard-1, so it is not considered independent research and development by them." A journalist said.

After World War II, Italy was also a wasteland, and later when the Italian army purchased equipment, it directly imported it from Germany, especially the main battle tank, which used the Leopard-1, introduced a batch, and independently produced a batch.

After all, these are the technologies of the Leopard-1, so they can only use them for their own use, not export, for the sake of military sales and the needs of the troops, the Italians began to plan in the mid-seventies. In order to develop a new tank, Otto Melera formed a consortium with Fiat, the former for the design and production of artillery guns and hulls, and the latter for power plants and suspension systems.

In 1977, the new tank entered the real car design stage, and the first prototype was produced in 1980, and later, the Italian Army joined in and put forward a lot of new indicators, so in 1986, according to the needs of the army, the Otto-Melera company and the Fiat company consortium produced the first prototype, and the Italian Army named this new tank the Ram main battle tank.

By this year, several prototypes had already been tested, and the Italian Army decided to officially install the Ram main battle tank.

Compared with the French who keep showing off, the Italians are unknown, but the ram tank has quietly appeared, and it is just a fame away, and this fame will be sent out by Qin Zhenhua.

To do business, rely on friends, and there are many ways to do business with friends.
