Chapter 240: Divine Cannon 107
Self-propelled multiple rocket launchers are not a new thing, and at this time on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang, the multiple rocket launchers supported by the Soviet Union with trucks as carriers are firing fiercely at our army, and our army is giving even more violent rocket rain in return.
But such a small MLRS, Beshapur, even the personnel of the foreign affairs department said that they had never seen it. So much so that the foreign affairs leader ran over and asked Li Lu, "Director Li, our troops don't have this equipment yet, right?" ”
Li Ludao, "New equipment is here." ”
The foreign affairs leader was anxious all of a sudden, quietly dragged Li Lu to the side, and said in a serious voice, "You comrade, our troops are not equipped yet, how can you let foreign businessmen see it?" Withdraw quickly, and I'll explain it to them! ”
Li Lu grabbed the leader of foreign affairs and said, "Chief, don't worry. Look at the Asian Tiger tank, we don't have it yet, don't we sell it too? ”
The foreign affairs leader was stunned, but this is also true.
Li Lu said helplessly, "Chief, our troops are poor, how can we have the money to update our equipment." Besides, this small self-propelled multiple rocket launcher is an improvement based on the Type 63 107mm rocket launcher, that is, the gun is moved to the jeep, which is not a new thing. ”
"Something from '63?" Where does the leader of foreign affairs understand equipment, but he knows the naming rules.
Li Lu said, "Almost, to be exact, a towed twelve-barreled 107 mm caliber rocket launcher finalized in 63." ”
The foreign affairs leader was confused and said, "You promise not to divulge important secrets, this is the bottom line." ”
"I understand, don't worry, chief." Li Lu was helpless, afraid of encountering this kind of leader who didn't understand anything and liked to point fingers.
After thinking about it, Li Lu said, "Chief, the superior leaders have explained that we can try to let foreign businessmen return with a full load, and we can also earn more foreign exchange." Whether the negotiations on my side are smooth or not, and to what extent it is talked about, is directly related to the purchase volume of foreign businessmen. ”
Of course, the foreign affairs leader heard Li Lu's dissatisfaction, so he could only nod, "Well, I heard that I was a soldier, I used to work in a military factory, and I did security work, I believe that you can care about it well." ”
"Please rest assured, chief." Li Ludao.
The leader of foreign affairs walked over with a smile and said a few words of explanation to Shapur, but finally did not let Shapur have other ideas.
Li Lu won't worry about Shapur's thoughts, for them, they are almost begging Huaxia to sell things, but Huaxia doesn't think so, the people who send foreign exchange are uncles, and the export is weapons and equipment, this is a matter of raising the country's prestige and can earn precious foreign exchange, and they attach great importance to it from top to bottom, and they can't wait to supply foreign businessmen. Therefore, foreign affairs leaders are worried about what foreign businessmen think.
When Li Lu stepped forward, the foreign leader walked away. He is still self-aware, and professional things are done by professionals.
At this time, Shapur was attracted by the BJ212 carrying the 107 multiple rocket launcher. He had seen this kind of jeep, the streets of the capital were full of this thing, and when he arrived at the dry port, he saw this thing at most.
However, after taking a closer look, he noticed that the jeep carrying the 107 multiple rocket launchers was somewhat different.
Li Lu smiled and beckoned behind him, and Ma Jintao, who had just arrived, walked over. The Red Star Factory is seven or eight kilometers away, and Ma Jintao came over as soon as he received the notice.
"Mr. Shapur, this is Mr. Ma Jintao, the designer of the Type 81 light wheeled multiple rocket launcher, he will explain it below, and I will translate it." Li Lu introduced, "By the way, this weapon has a very interesting nickname, called Evil Fox. ”
"Evil fox? Very interesting name. ”
Shapur hurriedly shook hands with Ma Jintao, finally had some smiles on his face, and said politely, "Mr. Ma, hello." ”
Ma Jintao was flattered, shook Shapur's hand with both hands, and said, "Hello, Mr. Shapur." ”
It can be seen that Shapur has a lot of respect for technicians.
Ma Jintao didn't know those diplomatic words, and went straight to the point, pointing to the 81 fire and saying, "Mr. Shapur, what you see is our latest development of light wheeled multiple rocket launchers, and the relevant technical parameters are described in detail. ”
As he spoke, he handed over an English version of the technical data introduction.
Shapur opened it, and while watching and listening carefully to Ma Jintao's explanation, Li Lu turned into a simultaneous interpreter.
"I'm sure you can see that this jeep is not the same as it does on the road." Ma Jintao said with a smile.
Shapur nodded, "Yes, it seems to be bigger, and the tires are not quite the same." ”
"Yes, this is a strengthened version of the light jeep, the main part is unchanged, but some modifications to adapt to the desert terrain have been made, such as changing the wide tires, the gearbox has been treated with sand and dust, and the diesel engine has been replaced with more torque, which can be equipped with a full set of 107mm rocket launchers." Ma Jintao introduced.
Actually, this is not a new model at all, but a modification on the basis of the existing BJ212, and the change to the diesel engine is the biggest change, and the frame has not changed at all. In other words, Li Lu's plan to ask the Red Star Factory to develop a civilian small SUV suitable for urban use based on the BJ212 has not yet succeeded.
Shapur frowned and asked, "I heard just now that it was a twelve-barreled rocket launcher, but what I saw was a six-barrel, what's going on?" ”
Smiling, Ma Jintao said, "The load capacity of the carrying platform is not enough to carry the twelve-barrel launcher, so we have made improvements and disassembled the original twelve-tube rocket launcher and used only half." This will not affect mobility. It should be noted that the launcher itself carries six spare rounds, so it can be quickly transferred to combat status, and if necessary, it can even be reloaded for one shot. Take a look at the demo. ”
On that side, the Evil Fox light wheeled rocket launcher was already in combat mode, and the first thing to do was to conduct a salvo demonstration.
The Type 63 107-mm rocket launcher is not a new thing, and it went abroad as the main force of military aid to socialist countries not long after it appeared. It's just that on this day in 1981, the Chinese people didn't know that the weapon they exported had begun to exert a huge influence beyond their imagination.
The whole decade of the 80s was a decade of frequent wars, the flames of the Fourth Middle East War had just been extinguished, but the fuse of the Fifth Middle East War had already been prepared, and the Iran-Iraq War that had just broken out was just a very long warm-up exercise for the local war in the 90s.
Until the Red Soviet Union disappeared overnight, the Americans, who had lost their opponents, looked at the huge fleet in their hands and finally experienced the loneliness of the cold in the heights.
After ten years, there are two kinds of weapons that are as famous as the famous AK-47 automatic rifle, and even become synonymous with many irregular armed forces, one is the famous RPG series rocket launcher, and the other is the magical rocket artillery, the Type 63 multi-barreled 107mm rocket launcher made in China.
Li Lu even has a strong feeling that the Red Star Factory wants to play the image of a high-quality military factory and play a well-known reputation, and to a certain extent, this magic cannon is one of the most important products. The premise is that he acquires the technology for the production of this gun. It is not difficult to produce 107 fire, and after twenty years, an ordinary mechanical workshop can imitate it, but to make this brand bigger and stronger, it is necessary to strive for excellence and win better than blue.
