"Yes, it's good, this time it's replaced with a 105mm gun, it's just... Shotguns for guns. Sharif uttered an idiom.

In this era, the relationship between the two countries is that of brothers, and Sharif has also studied at the National Defense University before, so he still speaks a lot of Chinese, but it is easier to communicate in English, and this time, he said an idiom.

When this sentence was said, the people of the first machine factory present couldn't help but show a wry smile.

This sentence is even more clear, this time I came over, I just saw the cannon, and it has nothing to do with anything else.

It seems difficult for you to get an order from them.

Sharif uttered this idiom, felt good about himself, and continued to sigh: "This is a classic Western standard tank gun, which is widely used, and we are quite satisfied with this gun." I was also very satisfied with the integration of it into the 69 tank. ”

"Yes, this is a big leap forward in tank technology in recent years." Qin Zhenhua followed and introduced: "Our 69-3 tank, which is also the culmination of the past few years, has good firepower, has been replaced with a new engine, and its mobility has also reached a new level, because the engine power has been improved, so we can also add more additional armor to its hull to achieve an all-round improvement of firepower, mobility and protection." ”

Qin Zhenhua is still working hard, and he will not give up until the final stage, after all, everything is difficult at the beginning.

Sharif nodded: "That's right, the upgrade plan for this tank is very suitable, we have a request, can you send this tank to our country for testing?" ”

"Absolutely." Qin Zhenhua didn't even ask Ma Panshan, he immediately agreed.

In the past, it was direct military aid, so Lao Bana did not refuse to come, and gave it for nothing, who would pick and choose?

But now it's different, now there is no direct military aid, they need to spend money to buy, then, according to international practice, people ask to go to other people's domestic test drives, that is also a necessary procedure.

Different countries, the environment is different, their own 59 tanks, mainly adapted to the cold areas of the north, and the environment of Lao Ba in the south is completely different, and the people are in the hot South Asian climate.

Therefore, it is a normal requirement for people to put forward a test drive, and this shows that people have the intention to buy.

"We are also looking for supporting on-board air conditioning manufacturers in China, and may launch tanks equipped with air conditioning in the future." Qin Zhenhua continued.

This matter is indeed being coordinated, but it is not needed in China, so there is no way to promote it, and now, the most important thing for Qin Zhenhua is to fool the other party, oh, no, seriously introduce the advantages of his own vehicle.

The geographical situation of the Soviet Union determines that their tanks do not need air-conditioning equipment, this kind of iron lump, to fight in the hot zone, is simply torture, inside the tank, the sun is shining, the temperature is properly over 40 degrees.

If there is an air conditioner, the user will definitely like it.

Sure enough, there was surprise in Sharif's eyes: "Okay, we're looking forward to it." If the test performance is good, we will probably buy dozens of them. ”

For a country, dozens of tanks are a drop in the bucket.

Qin Zhenhua was already like a mirror in his heart at this time, knowing what the other party wanted to say next, his guess was completely correct.

"Then we may have a big improvement project to use this tank gun to improve our existing 59 tank and bring it back to life. This project, for us, is the most important. Sharif said, "We believe in your technology. Hopefully, we will be able to implement the project for the improvement of the 59 tank as soon as possible. ”

Lao Ba was anxious.

On the other side of India, the development in recent years has been very fast, they have purchased a large number of T-72 tanks from the Soviet Union, and even plan to introduce the Soviet T-72 tank production line, plus their self-developed Arjun tank, so once there is the next war, Lao Ba's situation will be embarrassing.

Lao Ba's army is equipped with complex equipment, there are Western tanks like the M48, and a large number of 59 tanks as the main force, and the 100 mm rifled guns of the 59 tank cannot tear the armor of the T-72 tank, so for them, it is urgent to improve the 59 tank at hand and give it new vitality and vitality.

In fact, when the domestic and foreign propaganda was going to sell tanks, Lao Ba fell in love with the tanks with changed barrels, and they came for this.

Now, they've made their request.

As for buying dozens of 69-3 tanks, it is equivalent to a sweetness, buy a small amount, be the elite of the army, and then improve the old tanks in large quantities to rejuvenate them.

"We're more than willing to help." Qin Zhenhua said.

Lao Ba will not know the inside story of his side, and at the same time, no matter how small the ant is, it is meat, it is a business, and it has to be done.

"The replacement of the 59 tank with the L7 tank gun can rejuvenate our 59 tank, but it is an emergency after all." Qin Zhenhua sorted out his thoughts and began to continue to sell.

Hearing him say this, Sharif also nodded silently, how could they not know?

At present, the tank technology of the West has developed by leaps and bounds, especially represented by the Leopard-2 tank, which has rapidly brought tank technology to a peak.

Lao Ba's mood is actually the same as the mood of the army in China, they look greedy, but there are not enough money in their pockets.

The lion's share of military spending is going to the Air Force, and they are already planning to buy a batch of F-16 fighters by selling iron, and the Navy also needs money, so how much can be left in the hands of the Army?

Western tanks are tall, but too expensive!

"We've been working on new technologies for tanks for years." Qin Zhenhua looked at the other party's gloomy expression, and knew that he had said what the other party was thinking: "In the past few years, there has been a great breakthrough, if you are interested, we can take you to see our six pairs of weight wheels." ”

For a long time, the domestic tanks were all Soviet T-54 tank series, using five pairs of large-diameter load-bearing wheels, without carrier wheels, forming the famous five-pair load-bearing wheel series.

It was old, the engine compartment was limited to accommodate a larger engine, the turret was cramped inside to accommodate a tank gun of a larger caliber, the hull weight was limited and armor protection could not be raised, in short, five pairs of load wheels had come to an end.

The new generation of tanks has begun to use six pairs of load wheels, or even seven pairs of load wheels.

Hearing Qin Zhenhua's words, Sharif immediately nodded happily: "We are looking forward to it." ”
