"Our infantry fighting vehicle, using the 8 * 8 drive form, wide tires, reasonable spacing, off-road xing can be compared with the original off-road heavy truck, has been greatly improved, and with zhongyāng deflation system, at any time can condition the tire pressure, in wartime, even if there are four tires out of gas, you can continue to drive a hundred kilometers, get rid of danger. The www.biquge.info≦≧chief designer of the third bureau was very excited to be able to explain to the president in person, and he continued: "We have adopted the form of the right engine and used the largest 400 horsepower engine of our civilian Mercedes-Benz OM series, the gearbox and the transmission shaft are exactly the same, that is, the length of the half shaft has changed, so that our logistics maintenance can be facilitated to the greatest extent, and most of the parts are universal, which is thanks to our experts from Germany." Chapter 727: Desert Leopard (2)

The German expert listened to Fedun's words very carefully, and when the translation came, a rare smile appeared on his face.

"Now, our body is made of our domestic high-quality steel plate, which is a fully enclosed floating shell structure, and the front and sides of the hull can protect against 7.62 mm armor-piercing shells and shell fragmentation at close range, with a dead weight of eighteen tons, and two tons of external additional armor can be added to the exterior as needed. ≦≧ in the car, the left side is the cab, it has a periscope, and, depending on the situation, it can be replaced with a night vision device to facilitate marching at night, the rear can accommodate eight fighters, there are shè punch holes on the side, which can be fought in the car, there is a hatch in the tail to facilitate quick disembarkation at any time, to support tank battles, at the moment the top is installed with a machine gun, if we meet the opponent's tank, we can use anti-tank missiles at a long distance. "The whole body. It is completely developed by them, and there are innovations in many places, such as adding additional armor for protection.

"When our infantry fighting vehicle is fully tested, we will also form a complete series of vehicles on the basis of our combat vehicle, mainly self-propelled mortars. Self-propelled anti-tank guns, logistics support vehicles, command and control vehicles, and 727 Desert Leopard (2) ambulance vehicles, etc. ”

While listening to the introduction. Cusay, who was already leaping to the ground, stepped down from the cockpit canopy with great interest and sat down in the driver's seat.

The seats are more comfortable. It is the same airbag shock-absorbing seat as the luxury type of Mercedes-Benz heavy truck, which can help members overcome the impact of vehicle bumps to the greatest extent, far more than the combination of steel wire and sponge, but the cost is also very high, this seat, it has to be hundreds of dollars. ≦≧

The steering wheel, accelerator, brake, and shift mechanism are all the same as those of Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks. There is no automatic transmission yet, and the Mercedes logo on the steering wheel is still there.

Watching President Qusay get in, although he knew that this president was also the one who drove a 63 armored car on a rampage on the battlefield, but now he must not make any mistakes. Fortunately, the fuel tank of this infantry fighting vehicle of theirs was empty.

Several technicians followed, and Ferdouen followed him and got in from behind.

Cusai really wanted to drive out and have a good time, but looking at the appearance of a few bodyguards, he knew that it was better not to test drive this kind of unshaped infantry fighting vehicle.

He glanced at it. However, it was found that on the right side of the cāo platform, there was an obvious vacant position.

"What's it for?" Qusay asked. ≦≧

"When we designed this car, we took into account the docking with our army's existing C3I system, where enough space and power were reserved for future installation."

When Qusay heard this, he was even more happy, and under his leadership, the horizons of these Iraqi scientific researchers had been broadened, and now, they actually thought that the C3I system was going to fully blossom, and this work had to be entrusted to Joseph.

After getting out of the car, Qusay began to look at the smaller 6x6 infantry fighting vehicles in another workshop.

"Most of the components of this and that model are common, except that this one was developed on the Mercedes-Benz 6*6 off-road chassis, with six tires, and also has all-wheel drive capabilities, with inter-wheel and inter-axle differential locks..."

Listening to the introduction, Kusai suddenly asked, "So, compared with that 8*8, what are the advantages and disadvantages of the two?" ”

"Through our comparison, the 8x8 off-road xing can be better. ≦≧ dealing with complex roads, the adaptability of 8x8 is more powerful, even comparable to the 63 type of tracked chassis, such as a slope that can climb over 70% of the slope, a slope of 35%, a vertical wall height of 0.6 meters, and a trench with a width of 2.3 meters. However, the large size of the 8x8 infantry fighting vehicle will also increase the probability of being shot. Moreover, the small size of 6x6 will make it convenient for us to use airplanes for transportation. Therefore, both have their own advantages and disadvantages. We intend to use the 6x6 chassis on front-line reconnaissance vehicles, anti-tank missile launch vehicles. ”

After hearing this, Qusay was even more satisfied. Although Iraq's own research and development of military products has just begun, it has already shown strong vitality. Iraqi technicians, plus German ones, the R&D team is still very strong.

"President Qusay, our wheeled infantry fighting vehicle does not have a name yet." One researcher said boldly.

Cucello pondered: "Desert leopard, how's it going?" Our chariot will be a cheetah in the desert. It will be found throughout the Middle East. I hope that our team will continue to work hard to complete the testing and subsequent development of the entire vehicle. ≦≧ equip the troops as soon as possible. And we can also export to our Arab brother countries. Let our chariot gallop to every corner of our Middle East. ”

Qusay's inspection made all the personnel of the design bureau full of energy. This combat vehicle, after half a year of testing, included a complete test in the cold regions of the Iranian plateau and in the extremely hot conditions of the desert. At the time of 85, the troops began to be massively equipped. In addition to the armored forces, the original pure infantry divisions also began to gradually change their equipment and become mechanized infantry divisions.

After inspecting the wheeled infantry fighting vehicles developed by his side, Qusay began to have confidence in the future of Iraq's military industry. He wanted to go to the T-72 production plant not far from here to take a look, where the ace of the Iraqi Army, the T-72 main battle tank, is being produced, with the main battle tank and wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, plus the armed helicopter, the main equipment of the army, even if there is an independent system. However, as soon as his interest rose, he received a report from the Baghdad side that Amir Mahmood, who had gone to Sweden to finally sign the agreement, had completed his mission and returned to Baghdad to report to him.

Amir Mahmoud, Hekmat's deputy, has gradually shown his talent by participating in several arms purchases, such as the submarines he bought back in Argentina. After the last civil strife in Baghdad, Qusay knew that he had to hold his own power, and those who were too old should be replaced, so he promoted Hekmat to be Iraq's deputy prime minister and finance minister, and Amir to be the head of Iraq's foreign arms procurement and deputy director of the army's general armament department.

Qusay has brought in more and more new people to hold important positions in Iraq's zhèngfu, and these people are the people he trusts the most.

Through Hekmat's investigation and Qusay's decision, Amir finally made all the agreements with Sweden for the arms sales project.

These projects include a $100 million investment to develop a new active Sky Flash air-to-air missile in place of the United Kingdom, and a production line of the kind in Iraq. Ten sets of Swedish-developed ship-based sea/air search radars were purchased for installation on its own missile boats, with a project value of $23 million. The introduction of Sweden's RBS-70 portable air defense missile production line with a project amount of 30 million US dollars, the introduction of Sweden's infrared night vision system production line with a project amount of 50 million US dollars, participation in Sweden's AIP submarine power system and new pre-jing machine project, sharing technology, Iraq invested 100 million US dollars.

Among them, the active sky flash missile has half of the shares of Saudi Arabia, while the rest is completely funded by Iraq itself. Although Sweden did not make a lot of money by exporting the Mirage 4000 like France, these cooperation projects have made the Swedish side very satisfied.

Iraq has a lot of money, the ground is full of oil, where does it care about these little money! President Qusay certainly thinks the same way.

However, after listening to Amir's report, Qusay found that the important aide next to him, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Hikmat, did not seem to be in a good mood. Isn't he interested in this event if he doesn't come out in person? That's not going to work, you're the deputy prime minister, but you have to be very attentive to these projects.

"Hekmat, you also have a lot of credit for the successful introduction of these projects, and the introduction of these equipment will give us Iraq more capabilities to produce weapons on its own." Qusay said.

"Well, yes, President." Hikmat said, but when he said this, he still seemed absent-minded.

"What, Deputy Prime Minister? Not feeling well today? Qusay asked.

"Oh no, it's not." Hikmat hurriedly said, he came back to his senses, he was indeed a little absent-minded just now, because he was thinking about something else.

It seems that we have to report to the president, and Hekmat said: "President, our treasury has been empty recently, can we delay the payment to the other side of this cooperation with Sweden?" ”

The treasury is already empty? Qusay was taken aback: "How is this possible? Isn't our oil project always under construction? In addition to the original oil fields, we also have oil fields in Khuzestan Province, as well as Arab oil refineries, and we also export modified fighter planes to Pakistan through international cooperation..."The more he said, the more he saw the face of his butler, the more anxious he became, and he couldn't help but stop his speech: "What? Am I wrong? (To be continued) RQ
