When the people present heard Makas's words, they immediately understood, Nima, who wants to say that Wu Chen has no brains, that is simply the biggest fool in the world, people didn't think of using these former Soviet tanks directly as armored clusters, but thought about using modern technology to transform them into money-making tools!

According to the ratio of the former Soviet tanks, the turret accounts for about 40 percent of the tank's weight, the 36-ton T-55 main battle tank and the 37-ton T-62 main battle tank, dismantling the turret and unnecessary parts, the weight will be reduced to less than 20 tons, even if equipped with anti-tank missile systems and necessary self-defense weapons, the weight will not reach two tons, so that the airdrop can be carried out, and such a design, modern industrial technology can be completely achieved.

This kind of anti-tank missile launcher modified from the main battle tank, or the anti-aircraft missile launcher and anti-aircraft artillery vehicle, the defensive capability is stronger than that of ordinary infantry fighting vehicles, and the main battle tank is the main battle tank after all, not comparable to ordinary infantry fighting vehicles.

Secondly, after the turret is removed, the internal space of the tank is significantly larger, because only two people, the driver and the weapon operator, can be equipped with more modern combat equipment, especially those remotely controlled and automatic.

Moreover, if the airdrop factor is not taken into account, these main battle tanks of the former Soviet Union can even be converted into heavy infantry fighting vehicles, replaced with new engines, and open a door in the back, which is what Israel did, and practice has proved that the effectiveness of the Achizarit armored personnel carrier is very good.

The most important thing is that the technical content of the modification is really not high, which is more time-saving and labor-saving than the modification of the third-generation main battle tank, and it also saves money and money. The mercenary corps has this kind of main battle tank suitable for modification, and the United States alone gave five thousand M60 Patton series main battle tanks!

However, this situation may be distressed by other countries, and it is not worth mentioning to the US military, which now has deep pockets, and has modern new equipment, why should it use old tanks for modification, so it is not in my heart at all.

"Very smart and very sensible, you have a large number of main battle tank platforms to carry out this work, although this is not your idea, but I think it is a good idea, the number of tanks made in the former Soviet Union is the largest in the world, so many old main battle tanks are completely worth investing in, rejuvenated and combative."

"There is no problem with your request, the Ministry of Defense will bid for it in its own name, and strive to start manufacturing within a week, as you said, this work is not too high-tech, and the US government will even sponsor your upgrading work, the parts manufactured by American enterprises, subsidized by the government, and strive to play a role in the second war in the DRC, in a word, the mercenaries must win, and win very beautifully!" So promised the Minister of Defense.

In fact, it is Russia that should enjoy this resource the most, as well as several constituent countries of the former Soviet Union, but the Russian government is too financially tight, and there is no money to carry out large-scale modifications, which makes mercenaries cheaper, and perhaps after a battle, a large number of countries will beg to buy this modified model.

Of course, this does not include the five permanent members, nor does it include the European military powers and the tycoons of the Middle East, mainly South American countries, Southeast Asian countries and African countries, who will buy this modified infantry fighting vehicle or other models.

Although infantry fighting vehicles are the regular equipment of the army, the price is not cheap at all, the German Cougar infantry fighting vehicle that will be developed next year is known as a seven million dollars, which is more expensive than the price of an M1A2 main battle tank, and the upgraded version of the American Bradley infantry fighting vehicle, a more than four million dollars, is the M2A3 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle used now, and it also costs about two million dollars.

Infantry fighting vehicles are the main equipment to protect infantry, which can accompany the main battle tank to carry out surprise battles, and is a very important kind of army equipment, but the extremely advanced infantry fighting vehicle, for a medium-sized country, the burden of military spending is too heavy, it is better to buy a mercenary corps with thick skin and thick skin, and an infantry fighting vehicle modified from the main battle tank.

On behalf of the Golden Triangle International Security Company, Marcas signed a series of cooperation agreements with the U.S. government, and a variety of existing weapons and equipment and a large number of second-hand vehicles began to be transported to the Titan base in Sudan, and high-value weapons such as missiles were transported by strategic transport aircraft.

The US Department of Defense then began to bid for bidding from American companies to manufacture parts and components for the missile launchers and carrier platforms of the Golden Triangle International Security Company, including bearings, launch boxes, motors, and so on, as well as a number of extremely sophisticated radars and display equipment, the first of which amounted to 10,000 sets, with a total amount of more than $3 billion, of which the mercenary corps will bear 50 percent, and the rest will be financially subsidized by the US Government.

"On September 1, the federal government of the Golden Triangle will hold a founding ceremony, which is a new country built by American companies overseas, and it is also the pride and glory of the United States. The Minister of Defense attended a private banquet for Marcas.

The U.S. government and military have given so many benefits, and the relevant decision-makers will naturally be rewarded with a lot of money, just like the secretary of defense, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the ministers of various services, and important generals who attended a private banquet tonight, and the main officials of the Logistics Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense, which is also a well-known rule of the game!

In addition, the private banquet held by Marcus was also attended by the American military-industrial giants, such as Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, General Motors, Northrop, etc., adding up to more than 20 companies. In order to make up for the vacancy in support for the mercenary corps, the military naturally has to launch new orders, and this move will also make the military-industrial complex full of oil.

Corruption is a common problem in the whole world, and it can occur in any country, and even if the United States has a sound legal system, it is naturally no exception, and because the United States has more money, the degree of corruption is actually more serious, but it is rarely exposed.

"You can give us a few Trident submarine-launched ICBMs, it's really not good, it's okay to give a Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, or a few B-2 stealth strategic bombers can make do, we're not picky eaters!" Marcus said with a smile.

"What do you think, these are the top advanced weapons and equipment of the US military, and they are an important cornerstone of US security. But apart from these items, there is really nothing that you can see at the moment, and the presidential palace also feels a headache about this problem. The Minister of Defense knew that Marcus was joking, but he also agreed with such a statement from the side.

In addition to nuclear weapons, the mercenary corps currently has cutting-edge conventional weapons, and even the F-22 Raptor fighter is not in their eyes, in fact, there is not much demand for the B-2 stealth strategic bomber, which really makes the US government a little embarrassed.
