Chapter 831 The Upset Old Russian

The armored personnel carrier (APC) can be regarded as a youthful version of the infantry fighting vehicle. Regardless of its positioning and organization, the roles and tactics it plays on the battlefield are basically the same.

Our armored personnel carriers, in addition to being cheap, have another advantage, which is that their armor protection is slightly better.

Some of these developing countries and economic cooperation countries have been equipped with M113.

"This APC from the Orientals has better protection than the M113 from the Citigroups, at least from the front. It can protect against 12.7mm penetrating incendiary ammunition."

The basic model of M113 has a protection capability at the level of 7.62mm*51NATO bullets, because its armor is made of aluminum alloy and is difficult to defend against.

Being able to defend against 12.7mm is of great significance to these countries. For them, the highest level of automatic firepower that the enemy can generally use is the 12.7mm machine gun. The slight difference from 7.62 to 12.7 means an improvement from being in danger to being basically worry-free.

As for RPG, just forget about it, their tanks can't defend against it.

"It has good protection, low price, reasonable design, and some amphibious capabilities. If you have difficulty purchasing infantry fighting vehicles, you can consider importing some of these APCs." The design of our first-generation equipment was highly praised, and this feeling became even more obvious after Gao Zhendong's optimization.

"But what I'm more interested in is their rocket launcher! It's so convenient to use. After it's disassembled, each part can be taken away by one person. It can even be fired with dry batteries and torches, and it can basically guarantee accuracy within a certain range."

"If we had had this kind of weapon during the War of Independence, we might have been able to drive out the colonists earlier." Some countries gained independence through non-violent non-cooperation, while others achieved independence through actual force of guns.

"We can consider purchasing some of them to equip our elite troops. They can actually achieve a range of over 10 kilometers with this size!"

Even though the 107mm can only reach a range of over 10 kilometers and its power is not outstanding, for some countries, it is already top-level equipment that can only be used by elite troops. If the target is farther away, their combat support capabilities will not be able to support it and they can only hear the noise.

Most African countries are at this level. Although the fighting between tanks, planes and artillery is very lively, in fact, what is really meaningful is just the fight between weaklings within a few kilometers. Anything farther away can only be called a "fight".

In addition to these, we also have several pieces of equipment that are different. These things aroused their great interest.

It's not a terminal-guided missile, nor is it a Thunderbolt-3 air-to-air missile. Those things are not for sale either.

The terminal-guided munition is thoroughly advanced, advanced in all aspects from the concept, tactics, to technology. This kind of thing must be hidden.

The mercury cadmium telluride quaternary orthogonal seeker on the Thunderbolt-3 is too advanced to be demonstrated.

Although these are not for sale, the Thunder-1 with lead sulfide cooling can be sold. We ourselves have mainly switched to using Thunder-3, and the Thunder-1 produced in the early stage should be disposed of. As for missiles, there is no such thing as second-hand ones.

Moreover, our comrades who produced the promotional materials were very considerate and gave our customers some reassurance.

"…The missile uses a second-generation refrigerated lead sulfide seeker with high sensitivity and wide detection range. This technology was also exported to White Bear for the improvement of the White Bear K-13M infrared air-to-air missile…"

In fact, the sensitivity of this thing is really inferior to the mercury cadmium telluride of Thunderbolt-3, but it cannot stand out from the comparison with its peers.

As for the word "export", the Russian military attachés who were visiting were so angry that they were furious. It was too much! But they couldn't deny it because it was a fact. They even did some of the communication and coordination work for the technical exchange themselves.

Unlike semi-active radar air-to-air bombs that are closely related to radar, infrared bombs are a bit like grenades carried on airplanes. There are very few restrictions on their use, and they can be well integrated with any weapon system, just like Baba Yang installed Sidewinder on our exported Zhan-6, with good results.

Therefore, anyone can buy this thing, and it is not restricted by the source of fighter jets, and many people are interested in it.

If that reassurance isn't enough, there's something more practical.

"This missile has shot down a Citigroup-made P-2V reconnaissance aircraft and two U-2 reconnaissance aircraft in actual combat."

It's stable. No matter what you say, nothing can be as reliable as these two sentences. Even if the Russian K-13M uses the same guidance head technology, it is not as reassuring as this real combat record.

If it is relatively easy to shoot down the P-2V, then to hit the U-2, both the aircraft and the missiles must be good. In any case, it at least shows that the missile's guidance head and high-altitude combat capabilities are not bad.

After our operations, although the Thunder-1 is considered an outdated weapon in our eyes, it is an absolute hot commodity in the eyes of foreign guests.

The slender Thunder-1 exhibit was surrounded by visitors, and the staff in charge of consultation and reception were also very busy. As for placing orders, it was not possible here, as these things were special and visitors did not expect to see them. They could register their intentions, but making a decision would be a matter for later.

Corresponding to this little thing is a piece of equipment that doesn't even have a physical entity.

——The world's first and only anti-ship missile with a proven combat record.

But the results were not unique. "... the missile hit three out of four shots in a nighttime combat environment, sinking two enemy ships..."

With this foundation, there is no need for our comrades to say more, and many people are interested in it. Even though this thing is a copy of the Russian 544 (P-15) missile, there are definitely more people interested in it than in the P-15.

Speaking of this, the Russians are upset again. This is what the promotional materials say about imitation.

"…Based on the excellent design of the White Bear 544 anti-ship missile, many improvements have been made to the altimeter, engine, inertial guidance system, etc…"

Gan! ! !
You have modified almost every aspect of a missile, from the engine to the guidance system, even such a small thing as the altimeter. This is not a compliment to the Russians on their 544, but more like a slap in the face to the Russians.

The words "excellent design" in the promotional materials seem like a joke.

"Your thing, no, we had to modify a lot of things before it could be used."

It makes me angry just thinking about it, but I can't get angry because what they said is true.

In fact, it is because we have too many things to keep secret, otherwise the Gallic rooster will be more embarrassed. After all, SS.11 is a copy and most of it has been abandoned, and they don’t even want to change it.

People's joys and sorrows are always different. Regardless of whether the Russians are angry or not, countries with coastal defense needs are really interested in this missile. As I said before, this is the only one with actual combat record, and the publicity effect is better than anything else.

Gallic Flying Fish: You are so right!
John Bull: Bullshit!
"If we buy some and place them at our river mouths, we can basically guarantee the safety of our coastal defense. This deal is worth it." As soon as you hear this, you can tell that the pressure on coastal defense is not great and the coastline is still short.

"Aren't we ordering large speedboats from the Gauls? Put this on board! I believe our neighbors will feel the pressure." This is most likely due to independence from the Gauls. Path dependence belongs to the fact that there are always inextricable ties between colonies and former colonial powers that are difficult to cut off.

"This is very good. It is very compatible with the missile boats donated by the Russians. We can buy fewer missiles from the Russians and buy this one instead. It has a clear price advantage and is also effective in actual combat."

Providing missile boats does not mean providing missiles. This country has opened the door to a new world.

"General, I just heard that our neighboring country has expressed its intention to place an order. We have to do something." It is our traditional art to bring two countries with intense conflicts together for a viewing.

Of course, the Gauls don't have any ideas. They have anti-ship missiles, the AS.34 Cormorant, which they developed in cooperation with the Hans.

A very interesting point is that although the Gauls fought like that with the Hans in S2, after the end of S2, the two sides had a lot of frequent cooperation in defense.

If the Russians and the Gallic chickens were not moved by these things, there was a small thing that made them marvel after seeing it and they planned to take some back.

That is the Changying-62 portable air defense missile.

This thing is like scorpion shit all over the world - unique (poisonous) and unique (shit).

Both the Russians and the Americans are working on it, but they are still several years away from a successful launch.

The introduction looks like it was directly modified using the materials of Raiden-1.

"…it uses advanced lead sulfide refrigeration technology…it has the characteristics of light weight, long range, and great power…in actual combat, it shot down two enemy Mi-4 modified helicopters in one fell swoop."

The adjectives here are basically clichés and have no meaning, but seeing this, the Russians are upset again. What does it mean? Why do we have to write out the model number?

What? Citigroup's P-2V and U-2 were also listed? That's fine.

For people including the Russians, this is a brand new equipment and idea. It is not just an issue of air defense, but it also includes a countermeasure to the latest combat style of the Citigroups - hammer strike... no, vertical strike.

As the five great good men, especially the Russians and the Gauls who have close ties with Jiaozhi, they are well aware that the Americans are now implementing a very novel way of warfare in Jiaozhi.

——Use helicopters, maneuver quickly, and strike vertically.

If we ignore the vulnerability of helicopters, this is a tactical innovation comparable to the S2 blitzkrieg, which brings new challenges.

Especially for the Gauls who were beaten to a pulp by the blitzkrieg, any innovation in tactics and strategies is worthy of attention, even if the protagonist of this innovation is their ally.
