The concave turret of the K2 is still somewhat different from the American M1 in appearance, and its two predecessors, the K1 and K1A1, are almost identical to Uncle Sam's "vicious dog". Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

If it weren't for the fact that there is one less weight-bearing wheel (seven for the M1 and six for the pickle version), everyone would think that the alliance has cloned the US military's magic weapon at full size.

After watching the parade, Western military attachés sent reports to their countries as soon as possible, and then the White House and the Pentagon received snowflakes of inquiries from their allies.

Why did a coalition version of the M1 tank appear on Red Square? What the hell is going on?

Now is the white-hot stage of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, and all European friends need to get a perfect explanation as soon as possible!

Otherwise, a group of T-81s and T-82s sprayed with US military logos could swagger and drive straight into the heart of West Germany.

Could it be that at such a critical moment, the Allied soldiers on the front line were asked to check whether the load wheels of the opposite tank were six or seven???

After that, decide whether to fight or not to fight? Besides, in case of emergency, in case of accidental damage to a US tank.

directly hung up all the crew members inside, who will bear such a serious responsibility?

Before the nineties, the identification of friend or foe for ground combat vehicles was not fully installed in place.

Whether or not you are aware of the infiltration and invasion depends on the intuitive identification of the appearance of the enemy's mechanized equipment.

If the exterior is painted the same, and the opposite side speaks fluent American English...... That's just horrible!

"Gentlemen, I and all our allies of the United States need a reasonable explanation!" After reading the photos, the actor president also felt that things were a big deal.

If it weren't for the red circles drawn on the wheels as a difference, he would have thought that the tanks in the two photos were the same model.

The rival's ability to fake and be real is really getting higher and higher, and if it weren't for the military attachés in Moscow who saw it with their own eyes, no one would believe that it was true.

"Mr. President, we are doing our best to investigate the cause, and we will report it as soon as there is a result!" CIA Director William? Casey was already busy

If the USSR really mastered the technology of production of the M1 tank, then the problem would be too serious, indicating that a few years ago, at the R&D stage, leaks.

If you only lose ten finished vehicles, even if you crack some technology, the combat effectiveness of its improved M1A1 may not be able to be mastered by the other party.

"Casper, what do you mean?" For flickering, the actor president is an expert, and as for others, especially in the military field, he also has to listen to the opinions of experts.

Casper? As Secretary of Defense, Weinberg's attitude and advice play a pivotal role: "Mr. President, we must first find out whether the three pieces of equipment are imitations of genuine value, or whether they are just similar to the shells. ”

Despite his lack of experience in defense and military-strategic matters, it did not prevent Weinberg from becoming a hard-line defense minister.

He hated the Soviet Union from the bottom of his heart, advocated a tough posture against the Soviet Union, opposed the détente between the United States and the Soviet Union, and strongly advocated the implementation of a large-scale military expansion plan.

Finance Minister Rigan suddenly interjected: "Gentlemen, it is necessary for me to remind everyone that an M1 tank is worth millions of dollars, but it was easily cracked by our enemies. Whether it's true or not, the parliamentarians are very unhappy about this, which will seriously affect the amount of the defense budget next year! ”

The main battle tanks purchased by the U.S. military at billions of dollars also have the same model in the old enemy's troops.

Now that the enemy has cracked all the secrets and mastered all the weaknesses of the M1 tank, he still showed it proudly.

So why are you still equipped with this thing? Really fooling thousands of taxpayers like fools?

If you really have the ability, you can also copy a batch of T-80s?

"Even more tricky is that the planned production of M1/M1A1 tanks that we have developed is a total of 7467 units, of which 4199 are M1A1 and 3268 are M1! By the end of this month, the number of M1 tanks coming off the assembly line will reach about 2000 units, and will the rest continue to be produced? All changed to the M1A1 model, or temporarily stopped? The Chief of Staff of the Army, Admiral Wickham, was also a little confused

At this point, the army's armament plan has been completely disrupted by this sudden intelligence.

If the T-81 (K1) corresponds to the M1, the T-82 (K1A1) should theoretically be an imitation of the M1A1.

If the manufacture of the two "Abrams" is stopped at the same time, then the US military, especially the troops stationed in Europe, will face a state of helplessness.

The next best thing to do is to abandon the M1 and let the M1A1 continue to be produced, upgrading the existing M1 to an improved level.

Weinberg admonished: "If the secret is really leaked, the deterrent effect of the M1/M1A1 against the enemy's armored clusters will be drastically reduced, and I am afraid that it will not reach the originally expected battle loss ratio of three to five times, and our mobile defense capability in the West German area will not be so ideal." ”

In the Pentagon's plans, the M1 is used against the T-72, and the M1A1 is to pack the T-80.

On average, one M1A1 loses five Soviet-made tanks, and 4,000 can destroy 40% of the enemy's main battle equipment.

The Western European Union is equipped with 15,000-20,000 advanced tanks, which can fully withstand the crazy onslaught of 50,000 steel torrents under the command of the Warsaw Pact bloc.

"Through the sand table deduction of various data from both the enemy and the enemy, it is relatively safe for us to have 7,500-8,000 main battle tanks. Less than 7,000 vehicles, we will be in a weak position. With less than 6,500 vehicles, we will not be able to protect the security of our friends in Western Europe, especially West Germany. With less than 6,000 vehicles, our garrison in continental Europe may not be able to withstand the rapid attack of the enemy! "The report submitted by Admiral Wickham concluded that Soviet ground forces were capable of arriving in Brussels within two weeks

Where is Mao? Because Brussels is home to the headquarters of the NATO bloc!

The U.S. military has deployed 2,000 tanks in Western Europe, and the rest are located on military bases on the mainland and around the world.

Wait for the main force of the US armored forces to cross the Atlantic Ocean and rush to the aid of the European battlefield.

I'm afraid that the steel torrent of the Union has swept through the Allied forces in West Germany, and it is not far from the Belgian border!

Casper? Weinberg hurriedly asked: "Mr. President, then the number of M1A1s in our army will eventually be less than 6,500 vehicles, far lower than the 7,500 vehicles of the intended target!" ”

The difference of more than 1,000 vehicles is equivalent to the loss of three or four armored divisions, which is not a gap that can be easily made up by the M60 "Super Patton".

Even if these "Pattons" are nicknamed "Super Patton", they are still a group of "Pattons", which can only be inseparable from the T-72.

Seeing that the actor president was a little embarrassed, Admiral Ben Weixi, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who was silent next to him, said to help: "We can upgrade the M1A1 to a higher level, install more firepower and armor, equip it with more advanced electronic devices, and be the first to detect and destroy the enemy." Moreover, we are working with Britain, France, and Germany to study countermeasures, aren't the French developing a new generation of main battle tanks? We can join and reduce R&D costs! ”

These are two very feasible options that are well worth studying.

With the advent of the M1 and Leopard-2, the French no longer favored the "thin-skinned" AMX-30, and the GIAT Group was responsible for developing a replacement.

If the U.S. joins in time, it will greatly shorten the R&D time and share the advanced technological achievements of both sides.

"The most suitable weapon to contain and destroy the Soviet army is helicopter gunship, and the AH-64 'Apache' is the safest choice at the moment. I would like to purchase an additional 200 for the Army, and I would like to suggest that the British and German allies also purchase this high-performance anti-tank weapon! Admiral Wickham decided to abandon the M1 in favor of a powerful Apache for the Army.

Simulated exercises showed that one "Apache" can destroy 10-15 Soviet tanks and is a very good tank hunter!

“…… If the M1 is no longer able to destroy the enemy's main battle tank, then it has no reason to exist and can only waste the lives of our soldiers! All the M1s that have come off the assembly line will be upgraded to the level of M1A1, and the M1s that have not yet been put into production will no longer need to be manufactured. Regarding the upgrade of the M1A1, the joint development of a new generation of main battle tanks with allies, and the purchase of additional 'Apache', I agree in principle, but it still needs to be approved by Congress! "The actor president finally made a decision

If the KGB lurking in the United States learns about the funds for the purchase of M1, it will eventually become a large group of even more terrible "Apaches".

When this laughable news reaches Moscow, will the hairy bear generals have a self-defeating feeling?

Uncle Sam has many shortcomings, but the only one that the whole world agrees on is that he is not bad for money!

Even if one "Apache" is worth $10 million, the US Army Air Corps can purchase 1,000 in one go!

If all these anti-tank aircraft are installed, they can completely offset more than 10,000 main battle tanks of the Warsaw Pact group!

When the actor president instructed his two Williams - that is, CIA Director William? Casey with FBI Director William? Webster.

"If it's us leaking, we must find the person responsible. Otherwise, it is necessary to do everything to get the performance parameters, and even samples, of the enemy's new tanks! ”

In the opinion of the owner of the White House, the CIA is the most powerful intelligence organization in the world, there is no "one".

They should be heaven and earth, omnipotent.

Not to mention a tank, even a battleship, you should be sure to get your hands on it!

Of course, Casey said yes, as for how to get the sample?

You have to use the tried and tested old method - rebellion!

Under the lure of millions of dollars, I believe that there should be someone over there who will be tempted and go straight into the arms of the pomelo world!

"Mr. President, I think it's time for you to report something!" Casey is about to shake off the killer feature

“…… What the? The actor president was curious

"Last year, we were told a top-secret piece of information by our high-ranking 'mole' in Moscow that all of the Soviet Union's achievements, including their films, music, technology, Myphone, and now new equipment, probably originated from a young man from the East. We have taken action on it before, but the level of protection of the target is too high, and our agents have not been able to do so. ”

"Why are you reporting now?"

"It's just an inference based on the information provided by the 'Mole', and we don't have any solid evidence!"

"I'd like to know the background of this person right away, and all the relevant information!"

“…… As you wish, Mr. President! ”

Taking advantage of the Victory Day parade, Big Pineapple officially announced the launch of the "Red Alert Program" to counter the "Strategic Defense Initiative" (Star Wars Program) of the United States.

It is not as outrageous as the Pentagon said about developing and deploying high-energy directional weapons such as microwaves, lasers, high-energy particle beams, and electromagnetic kinetic energy weapons.

The Alliance's "Red Alert Plan" is very pragmatic and covers only the range of conventional weapons of the Navy, Army and Air Force.

That is, it is equipped with fourth-generation fighters, fourth-generation main battle tanks, fourth-generation cruise missiles and fourth-generation strategic projection weapons.

“…… It is gratifying that our scientific researchers have completed the development and development of the fourth-generation fighter and tank, and the factory has begun mass production, which is an incomparably brilliant achievement and victory, and deserves everyone's cheers and applause! It also means that the military power of the alliance will be stronger than ever, Gongmin's living environment will be safer than ever, and the enemies in the corner will be more fearful and panicked than ever......"

Pravda quoted the original words of the big pineapple word for word, and even pointed out that the "Star Wars Project" is nothing more than the text version of the American movie "Star Wars", which can also be called a script!

Perhaps watching that movie will be more realistic than a boring play on words, after all, many people lack imagination and need to rely on movies to help them make associations.

With the guidance of the Time Traveler, Washington's hope that the "Star Wars Project" would drag the Alliance into a protracted arms race would eventually come to naught.

Big Pineapple listened to the suggestions of the young people of the second goods, and based on their own advantages and strengths, they threw out a strategic plan that is more in line with the actual situation - "Red Alert Plan"!

As the saying goes, if you hit yours, I will fight mine, adapt measures to local conditions, and follow the trend.

In the end, who can deceive whom depends on which side has higher deception skills and which side has a lower IQ......

If the United States wants to restrain the "Red Alert Program," it must either develop more advanced conventional equipment as soon as possible.

Or climb the tech tree and develop more powerful weapons, like those described in Project Star Wars!

“…… The brazen Soviets blatantly plagiarized American defense technology, and instead of apologizing, they flaunted their so-called powerful force to the world through television the copied American weapons as products they had developed.

However, this military parade has further confirmed the advanced nature of US weapons.

Otherwise, the Soviet Union would not have abandoned its own equipment and risked its notoriety to show it.

This indicates that the technical level of American weapons has led the world, and it has occupied Red Square!
