Although the third-level base has not yet been unlocked, with the passage of time, the quality of China's arms to the international market has slowly improved to a higher level, and it has begun to lead the state in an all-round way. The JAMTF J-31 has not yet been fully launched, but before 2000 at the latest, the J-31 will officially enter the international arms market and become the main fighter that can be chosen by many countries in the world.

In addition to the JAMTF program, Qi Yiming has also launched a number of new products in order to consolidate China's dominance in the international arms market. At this year's Tianjin International Defense Exhibition, China's military enterprises are gearing up and preparing to do a big job.

After the MBT series and VT-1 series sold well over the years, NORINCO launched a new generation of products, this time they combined the tank model into one, unified the use of VT as the tank model identification, the new tank is MBT-3000 as the prototype design, the official export code is VT-4 main battle tank.

Compared to the MBT-3000 in the other plane, the weight of this main battle tank has been increased to 56 tons, and the appearance has changed from the VT-1 (Type 96), with more complex edges of wedge-shaped armor on the front and better protection, and grille armor on the sides and back. The VT-4 also received an all-new chassis, mainly in water wading and off-road capabilities.

VT-4 increased tons of weight, naturally mainly used in its armor protection, VT-4 uses a new generation of Chobham armor, part of the technology is still from the super armor of the mysterious palace, of course, the comprehensive cost and processing difficulty in many aspects, its actual defense capability is not as good as the super armor, but the average frontal armor defense power, equivalent to more than 900 mm of homogeneous armor, in today's world, that is, the 99 type can win VT-4. (A pervert like the apocalypse is not on par)

In fact, the changes in weapons are not particularly large compared to the original VT-1A, which still uses a 125mm smoothbore gun, which can be replaced with a 120mm NATO caliber. There is not much change in the use of ammunition, but the processing of the gun has improved a certain process, so that the muzzle kinetic energy is increased, and it is also the main competitor of the stabilized M1 Abrams and Leopard 2. The artillery control has also been electrified, and the combat power has been significantly improved.

Another point that makes the VT-4's combat power superior to other tanks in the world is that the VT-4 basically uses all the electronic equipment on the 99A2 main battle tank, which is a fire control system like a hunter and destroyer, and the commander and gun commander have a sight, and the stability and computing power of the fire control computer are far beyond similar products. The mature gaze focal plane infrared thermal imaging system makes its night combat ability outstanding, and the performance of the laser rangefinder is also amazing. In addition, the vehicle is equipped with a laser communication system and GPS navigation components, which greatly improves the ability of the vehicle to fight in clusters, and also meets the standard requirements of digital operations, so it can be said that VT-4 is a standard weapon used in digital troop operations.

Not to mention the power, the Red Alert base provides technology and China realizes its own turbocharged intercooled high-power diesel engine, 1500 horsepower, and the suspension system is liquid-gas suspension, which is also the most advanced mode at present, which can point the gun port unchanged and turn 360 degrees on the ground. In addition, combined with the excellent body design, the VT-4 has excellent off-road maneuverability.

Judging from these characteristics, the VT-4 is actually the first generation of 99 tanks that NORINCO has equipped the troops with a certain weakening, mainly reflected in the armor and artillery, and the internal electronics are almost completely copied. Although such a tank is still some distance away from the 99A6 of the main force of PLA, it has obvious advantages in beating similar products such as M1 and Leopard 2 and not being able to crush it.

Due to the appearance of the VT-4, the improvement of the VT-1 has almost stopped, in fact, there is still room for this tank to tap the potential, and NORINCO does provide customers with certain upgrade services, such as replacing some on-board equipment similar to the VT-4, but the improvement of the entire system will not continue. The purpose of this is, of course, to secure the sales of the VT-4.

To be honest, Qi Yiming is not particularly optimistic about the sales of VT-4, after all, in recent years, the domestic sales of VT-1A and MBT-2000 have been sold too well, thousands of tanks have been sold, and VT-4 is undoubtedly a tall tank, and the price is also very expensive, increased to 3.2 million US dollars each, although it is still quite cheap compared to the M1 and others, but this has exceeded the bearing strength of some ordinary economic strength of the third world.

On the contrary, although the $1 million VT-1 tank is not as powerful as the VT-4, it is cheap after all, and the VT-1 can basically do the tasks that the VT-4 can do, so for poor countries, the VT-1 is undoubtedly more cost-effective. For countries with better economic capabilities, that is, developed countries, they basically have very good military production capacity, and countries like the United States, Britain, France and Germany will definitely not buy them, and NATO members must also pick the products produced by the previous four countries.

Then there are those oil-rich tyrant countries, Saudi Arabia is likely to convert some of its tank orders to VT-4, after all, they are not short of money, and they also intend to build a stronger army to maintain influence in the Middle East. In some of the remaining countries, you will probably be able to order a certain amount, but not too much. Because the size of their country's army is relatively limited, it will not be equipped with too many main battle weapons.

In other words, the member states of the SCO are also potential users of tanks, but the three countries with the strongest industrial capabilities, Yuan, West and Kazakhstan, will obtain certain cooperative production business and even assembly business from NORINCO under the command of Qi Yiming, such as the Nizhny Tagil Vehicle Plant, which will not produce Russian-made tanks such as the T-90 in the future, but will produce VT-4 for China to equip the army.

The financial resources of the three Eastern European countries are considerable, but the purchase volume is not particularly large, and it is already the sky for each country to keep two or three hundred tanks.

Qi Yiming feels that the inter-Korean federation that is in the pipeline is a better buyer, and after the merger of the two armies, the system will inevitably be unified, and the inter-Korean federation controlled by China will inevitably approach the Chinese system at high speed, and Qi Yiming will also prevent the emergence of tanks like K-2, and let the inter-Korean federal army be equipped with Chinese-made tanks.

Ideally, the newly established DPRK-ROK federation will be China's important pawn in Northeast Asia, and its main role is to contain Japan, so it is imperative to strengthen the military capability of the DPRK-ROK federation, and the three armies of the DPRK and the ROK army, navy, and air force are basically a cut below Japan, and Qi Yiming wants to focus on making up for the DPRK and the ROK in recent years, and the stronger the DPRK and the ROK, the less power China will use to deal with Japan, and the better the flexibility on the battlefield.

The DPRK and the ROK can have a certain military industrial capacity, but they must be strictly stuck in the SCO's military production system, and they cannot make exceptions, nor can they affect the market and prospects of China's weapons; although no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for the ROK to catch up quickly without the technical support of other countries, after all, its industrial background is still somewhat poor. On the other hand, whether it is King Sejong's Aegis ship, K-2 main battle tank, or FA-50 attack trainer, without the technology transfer of the United States and other countries, South Korea will have to be unfounded.

At the Tianjin International Defense Exhibition, the J-16 heavy multi-role fighter officially launched by Amur Komsomolsk Airlines on the market has also attracted widespread attention from the outside world. First of all, it is not the combat performance of this aircraft that makes the outside world pay attention, but the chewing of words. No matter how you look at it, this looks like a Su-27 fighter, and it actually tops the equipment code name of the Chinese Air Force, and is ranked in the category of Chinese weapons, although many people know that Amur Komsomolsk Airlines has been pocketed by Shenghua, China's largest military industrial group, but such an obvious dumping of the completed wealth of the former Soviet Union still makes people jealous.

With the integration of Chinese technology, the performance of the J-16 super flanker can be said to have fully overshadowed the current main fighter of the U.S. military F-15E, on the first day of the aviation exhibition, the exhibitor specially arranged the J-16 for flight performance, this fourth-generation and a half fighter in the performance was piloted by a Chinese HNA golden helmet pilot, and carried out many super-maneuvers in a row, like a fallen leaf J-16 in the air incredible maneuverability level, let people feast their eyes at the same time, can't help but react, Another artifact has been added to the Chinese Air Force.

Because the J-16 fighter has the blessing of the SCO, it has not worried about orders from the very beginning. China HNA has an order for 200 aircraft, and the economic level of the three countries in the Far West Kazakhstan is poorer, but it also orders this fighter in an orderly and slow manner, and the annual purchase volume basically does not exceed 20 aircraft, the Far Eastern Republic intends to order 80 aircraft, Siberia needs 60 aircraft, and Kazakhstan intends to purchase 24 aircraft. Considering that the above three countries actually have a lot of fighters left over from the Soviet era, it is quite a lot to be able to buy so many.

Yugoslavia is the first country outside the SCO to buy J-16 at this exhibition, the Yugoslav Air Force still has some MiG-29 fighters, although the country is not large Yugoslavia with MiG-29 is not impossible, but with the economic recovery, Yugoslavia has rekindled the Tito era to build a military power in the Balkans, Yugoslavia hopes to obtain J-16 as a high match in the air force, improve its air defense capabilities. And after all, the J-16 also has a strong ground attack capability, which can also strengthen the forces of the Yugoslav Federation in this regard.

Yugoslavia's purchase volume is not large, only 16 aircraft, but it is also a fourth-generation and a half fighter, J-16 Super Flanker, which is more expensive than the J-9 Shadow Leopard used by the Chinese Air Force, and the price of the full weapon system has reached 35 million US dollars (Shadow Leopard is only 28.6 million US dollars), which is quite an expensive fighter, that is, a little cheaper than the Tomcat with a complex fuselage design.

In addition, Venezuelan Chavez, who has already started selling oil, has also shown interest in this fighter, but considering that Venezuela is a small country, the purchase volume is also limited.

Looking at the joint sale of J-16 Super Flanker by the Far East and China, the Russian side is obviously not a taste, after the destruction of the war, China took advantage of the fire and robbery, and now the Sukhoi and Mikoyan design bureaus are almost inoperable, and they cannot dictate the behavior of the Far East and China, after all, the Chinese have not completely withdrawn their troops from Russia.

They can only hope that Russia, whose aviation manufacturing capacity has been greatly weakened, may one day go to the Far East and China to purchase this fighter jet that is somewhat related to them.
