Chapter 1215 Exhibition IV
There are two biggest highlights of this international defense exhibition, the first is that the products of military enterprises from various countries participating in the exhibition are all good things with characteristics and gold content, and weapons and equipment are not completely high-tech content, but also depend on practicality and stability.
No matter how strong the M1A2SEP Abrams main battle tank of the United States is, it cannot exert its power in the mountains and hills, it is too heavy, and the climbing angle limits the combat effectiveness, but it is not as good as the T-55 main battle tank of the former Soviet Union.
No matter how sophisticated the fourth-generation stealth fighter is, no matter how strong its attack power is, it is not as effective as the propeller fighter in the wilderness, dense forests and mountains, and it flies too fast, and its reconnaissance and cruise capabilities are weak, so it is only suitable for precision strikes.
The second is the beauty of the clouds, in people's consciousness, has always been the combination of beauty and luxury cars, but this time the mercenary corps in the three physical exhibition areas of the weapons and equipment, all have the help of the supermodel of Atlantis International Model Agency, this company is the global model industry, there are more than 1,000 models signed, this time a third of the number of dispatches, is considered the welfare of the first Sestopol International Defense Exhibition.
The Russian Government attaches great importance to this exhibition, and it can be said that all advanced weapons and equipment, except for nuclear bombs, are basically transported to the exhibition area.
This is also something that cannot be helped, the government's finances are too tight, the former Soviet Union left so many military industrial enterprises, because there are no orders, the hungry eyes of researchers and workers are green, and a large number of cutting-edge scientific research talents are gradually flowing to the mercenary corps, President Park Kim is anxious!
"It seems that since the collapse of the former Soviet Union, Russia's military industry has not made much progress, and the weapons and equipment they brought to the exhibition are still the main force in the former Soviet Union, and they have not kept up with the trend and rhythm of the times." Marcus looked at the Russian weapons and equipment brochure in his office, shook his head and said.
"It can't be said that the weapons and equipment of the former Soviet Union also have their own advantages, after being tested in actual combat, they clearly know where the defects are, and they have the characteristics of large bomb load, sufficient firepower, durable, simple and effective, and the most important thing is that they can be mass-produced."
"I like the Su-24 fighter-bomber of the former Soviet Union, the Su-27 all-weather air superiority heavy fighter and the Su-34 fighter-bomber, the equipment of the mercenary regiment is too advanced, the manufacturing cost is too high, but the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, too good things are not necessarily practical, low-end fighters are an aspect we ignore."
"Price is a major condition to attract customers, our fighter jets are more than 100 million US dollars at every turn, which is the cheapest, and the US fourth-generation fighter standard Russian fifth-generation fighter standard stealth fighter, that is hundreds of millions of dollars a piece, most customers can only see but can not afford it." Wu Chen shook his head and said.
Russia's weapons and equipment are basically the same as the old ones of the former Soviet Union, but their advanced nature and combat effectiveness are guaranteed, after all, the former Soviet Union relied on these weapons and equipment to confront the United States during the Cold War, so it still has influence, and most importantly, the price is relatively cheap.
Su-24 fighter-bomber, a very classic former Soviet Union variable swept wing fighter, two-person operation, twin-rotor afterburner turbojet engine, nine attachment points of the wing can carry eight tons of ammunition, but also a fighter that countries are optimistic about, low cost, durable, and powerful firepower.
The Su-30 fighter, which is a third-generation and a half-generation fighter developed from the Su-27 fighter, has a Doppler pulse radar, a vector thrust engine installed, twelve external hardpoints, and is also capable of carrying eight tons of ammunition, almost all of Russia's active bombs and missiles can be used.
The Su-34 fighter-bomber, also developed from the Su-27 fighter, has a bomb load of eight tons, in addition to most of Russia's missiles and bombs, it can also launch anti-ship cruise missiles, but the range has reached an astonishing 4,000 kilometers, but it does not have a stealth function.
The MiG-29 twin-engine air superiority fighter, one of the classic fighters of the former Soviet Union, is also one of the most exported fighters, and the most special thing is that it is equipped with the driver's helmet sight, but it does not have a very good performance in real combat.
In addition, there are helicopters, including the famous Mi-24 and Mi-28 gunships of the former Soviet Union, which are mainly used to combat armored forces. There are also Mi-26 and Mi-17 transport helicopters, the former is a classic transport helicopter, and the latter is developed from the Mi-8 transport helicopter.
If the Russian Navy wants to say that it has the advantage now, it is only the manufacture of submarines, which is definitely the big one in the industry, and the exhibition promotes two conventionally powered submarines, one is the famous Kilo-class conventionally powered submarine, also known as the 877 type conventionally powered submarine. The other is called the Alrosa-class conventionally powered submarine, also known as the Kilo-class improved version, and is called the Type 636 conventionally powered submarine.
The fourth-generation diesel-electric conventional-powered submarine under construction, the export version is called the Amur class, and the self-use type is called the 677 type conventional-powered submarine.
This submarine can be equipped with an optional AIP system, equipped with anti-aircraft missiles, the self-use version has six 533 mm torpedo tubes, has a rapid loading device, can launch universal torpedoes, anti-submarine missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads and 3M-54 caliber cruise missiles, equipped with eighteen pieces, and thirty when laying mines.
"I also hope that the mercenary corps navy will be equipped with more conventionally powered submarines, nuclear submarines are too expensive to build, and they are not suitable for combat patrols in the near sea zone, and the point is that the follow-up of nuclear reactors is a big problem. This kind of deep-sea killer, in fact, doesn't need much, why did Russia retire all the nuclear submarines of the former Soviet era, not only to save money, but also because the replacement was too fast. ”
"We now have the highest number of nuclear submarines in the world, and all the countries in the world that have nuclear submarines combined, and there are not as many mercenary corps, but the question of time is that after a maximum of twenty years, there will be a peak of retirement, and the shortest service of the Yankee class is twenty-seven years, and the Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines are about the same."
"The existing nuclear submarines, especially the former Soviet nuclear submarines, will not increase after the end of service, and the Haitel-class conventional-powered submarine we have developed is a very good submarine in terms of current indicators, and the technical level must definitely surpass the conventional submarines of various countries, but this is not enough!"
"I give the scientific research department a task, which is to develop a small nuclear reactor, continuously charge the battery, so that conventionally powered submarines can achieve ocean-going voyages, adopt a pump-jet propulsion system, reduce the quietness, and make the tonnage larger or smaller, and become an auxiliary force for nuclear submarines." Wu Chen said.
