Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although the third-level base has not yet been unlocked, as time goes by, the quality of the arms that China introduces to the international market has slowly improved by a level, and it has begun to lead the way.  The NT-L has not yet been fully launched, but at the latest 26 years ago, the J-L will officially enter the international arms market and become the main fighter aircraft that can be selected by many countries in the world.

    In addition to the NTPl+ plan, Qi Yiming has also launched some new products in order to consolidate China's dominance in the international arms market.  At this year's Tianjin International Defense Exhibition, Chinese military industry companies are gearing up and making greater preparations.

    After the NHT series and VT-l series have been selling well over the years, Norinco Group has launched a new generation of products. This time they have combined the tank models into one, and uniformly used VT as the tank model designation. The new tank is NHT36.  The prototype is designed and its official export code is VT4 main battle tank.

    Compared with the NHT36 in another dimension, this main battle tank weighs 56 tons. Its appearance has changed a lot from the VT-l (Type 6). The front wedge-shaped armor edge is more complex and has better protection capabilities.  In addition, grille armor is used on the sides and back.  VT4 also adopts a brand-new chassis, which mainly improves its wading and off-road capabilities.

    The several tons of added weight of VT4 are naturally mainly used for its armor protection. VT4 adopts a new generation of Chobham armor. Part of the technology is obtained from the super armor of Mystic Palace. Of course, the comprehensive cost and processing difficulty are many.  , its actual defense capability is not as good as that of super armor, but the defense capability of the average frontal armor is equivalent to more than 30 mm of homogeneous armor. In today's world, the Type 99 can surely defeat the VT4.  (Perverts like Tianqi are not comparable)

    The weapon actually does not change much compared to the original VT-IA. It still uses a 2mR smoothbore cannon and can be replaced with a 2Ummd caliber.  The type of ammunition used has not changed much, but the processing of the artillery has improved a certain degree of technology, which increases the kinetic energy of the muzzle. It is also the main competitor of the stabilized Nl Abrams and Leopard 2.  The artillery control has also been electrified, and its combat power has been significantly improved.

    Another feature that makes VT4 superior in combat power to other tanks in the world is that VT4 basically uses all the electronic equipment on the 99 main battle tank. It is an upper anti-stabilized hunter-killer fire control system. Both the commander and gunner have sights and guns.  The stability and computing power of the control computer also far exceed similar products.  The mature staring focal plane infrared thermal imaging system makes it outstanding in night combat capabilities, and the performance of the laser rangefinder is also amazing.  In addition, the vehicle is equipped with a laser communication system and GPB navigation components, which greatly improves the vehicle's swarm combat capabilities and meets the standard requirements for digital combat. It can be said that VT4 is a standard weapon used by digital troops for combat.

    Not to mention in terms of power, the Red Alert Base provides technology and China produces its own turbocharged intercooled high-power diesel engine with 156 horsepower. The suspension system is a liquid-pneumatic suspension. It is also the most advanced model nowadays and can keep the muzzle pointing.  , the site turns 30 degrees.  In addition, combined with the excellent body design, the off-road maneuverability of VT4 is very excellent.

    Taking a look at these characteristics, VT4 is actually the first-generation 99 tank that Norinco equipped to the troops. It has been weakened to a certain extent, mainly reflected in the armor and artillery. The internal electronic equipment is almost completely copied.  Although such a tank is still far behind the 99AU, the main force of PLA, it has obvious advantages when compared with similar products such as Nl and Leopard 2.

    Since the emergence of VT4, the improvement work of VT-l has almost stopped. In fact, this tank still has room to tap its potential. Norinco does provide certain upgrade services for customers, such as replacing some on-board equipment similar to -4.  However, the improvement of the entire system will not continue.  The purpose of this is naturally to ensure the sales of VT4.

    To be honest, Qi Yiming is not particularly optimistic about the sales of VT4. After all, the sales of VT-IA and NHT26 in China have been very good in recent years. Thousands of tanks have been sold, and VT4 is undoubtedly a high-end tank with a low price.  It is very expensive, rising to 300,000 US dollars per vehicle. Although it is still quite cheap compared to Nl and others, it has exceeded the affordability of some third world countries with ordinary economic strength.

    On the contrary, although the US$1 million VT-l tank is not more powerful than the VT-l, it is cheaper after all. The tasks that the VT4 can do, the VT-l can basically do, so for poor countries, the VT-l is undoubtedly more cost-effective.  As for countries with relatively good economic capabilities, that is, developed countries, they basically have very good military production capabilities. Countries such as the United States, Britain, France and Germany will definitely not buy them, and NATO member states will definitely choose the first four.  products produced by the country.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of Saudi Arabia, it is very likely that some of the tank orders will be converted to VT4. After all, they are not short of money, and they also intend to build a stronger army and maintain their influence in the Middle East.  The remaining countries may be able to order a certain amount, but not too much.  Because their country's army itself is relatively limited in size and will not be equipped with too many main battle weapons.

    By the way, the member states of the SCO are also potential users of tanks, but the three countries with the strongest industrial capabilities, namely Far East, West Asia and Kazakhstan, will??Under Qi Yiming's instruction, certain cooperative production business and even assembly business were obtained from NORINCO. For example, the Nizhniy Tagil Vehicle Factory, as noted, will not produce Russian-made tanks like the T3 in the future, but will produce them for China.  VT4 equips the army.

    The financial resources of the three Eastern European countries are relatively considerable, but the purchase volume is not particularly large. Each country has two to three hundred tanks, which is enough for them.

    Qi Yiming feels that the brewing Federation of North and South Korea is a better buyer. After the merger of the two armies, the standards will inevitably be unified. The Federation of North and South Korea controlled by China will inevitably approach the Chinese standard at a high speed. Qi Yiming also  It will prevent tanks like K2 from appearing and allow the federal troops of North and South Korea to be equipped with Chinese-made tanks.

    Ideally, the newly established inter-Korean federation will be an important pawn for China in Northeast Asia, and its main role is to contain Japan. Therefore, it is imperative to strengthen the military capabilities of the inter-Korean federation. The land, sea and air forces of North Korea and South Korea are basically inferior to Japan.  Qi Yiming wants to focus on making up for North Korea and South Korea in the past few years. By then, the stronger North Korea and South Korea will be, the less power China will have to deal with Japan, and the better flexibility it will have on the battlefield.

    North and South Korea can have certain military industry capabilities, but they must be strictly stuck in the SCO military production system. No exceptions can be made, nor can it affect the market and prospects of Chinese weapons. Although how can South Korea not have technical support from other countries?  , it is impossible to catch up quickly, after all, its industrial background is still somewhat poor.  In another dimension, whether it is the King Sejong Aegis ship, the K2 main battle tank, or the PA-0 attack trainer aircraft, without technology transfer from the United States and other countries, it would be a long time before South Korea could come up with it.

    At this Tianjin International Defense Exhibition, Amur Komsomolsk Airlines officially launched the J-6 heavy-duty multi-purpose fighter jet on the market, which also attracted widespread attention from the outside world.  The first thing that attracted the attention of the outside world was not the combat performance of this aircraft, but the rhetoric.  This fighter aircraft, which looks like the Su-27, actually bears the prefix of the equipment code of the Chinese Air Force and is included in the category of Chinese weapons. Although many people know that Amur Komsomolsk Airlines has been  Shenghua, China's largest military-industrial conglomerate, is in the pocket, but such an obvious squandering of the completed wealth of the former Soviet Union still makes people jealous and envious.

    With the integration of Chinese technology, the performance of the J-6 Super Flanker can be said to have completely surpassed the B15B, the current main fighter of the US military. On the first day of the aviation exhibition, the exhibitor specially arranged a flight performance of the J-6. This  The fourth and a half generation fighter jet was piloted by a China Hainan Airlines Golden Helmet pilot during the performance. It continuously performed many super maneuvers. The incredible maneuverability of the J-16 in the air was like a fallen leaf. While people were feasting their eyes, they couldn't help but react. China  The aviation force has added another artifact.

    Because the J-6 fighter jet has the blessing of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, it has no worries about orders from the beginning.  China's Hainan Airlines has an order for 20 aircraft. The three countries in the Far East, Kazakhstan and Kazakhstan have lower economic levels, but they are ordering this fighter slowly and orderly. The purchase volume in a year basically does not exceed 2 aircraft. The Far East Republic intends to order 8 aircraft, and Siberia needs 6.  Kazakhstan is interested in purchasing the aircraft.  Considering that the above three countries actually still have many fighter aircraft left over from the Soviet era, it is already a lot to buy so many.

    At this exhibition, Yugoslavia was the first country outside the Shanghai Cooperation Organization to purchase the J-6. The Yugoslav Air Force still has some M2 fighters. Although Yugoslavia, which has a small territory, it is not impossible to use the Nh29, but as the economy picks up, Yugoslavia will  Rekindling the Tito era's ambition to build a military power in Balyu, Yugoslavia hopes to obtain the J-6 as a high-end equipment in the air force to improve its air defense capabilities.  And after all, the J-6 also has a strong ground attack capability, which can also strengthen the strength of the Southern Federation in this regard.

    Yugoslavia¡¯s purchase volume is not large, with only 6 aircraft. However, the J-6 Super Flanker, both a fourth-generation and a half fighter aircraft, is more expensive than the J-Leopard used by the Chinese Air Force. The price of the entire weapon system has reached -600,000.  US dollars (the Shadow Leopard is only US$260,000), it is a quite expensive fighter, which is a little cheaper than the Tomcat with a complex body design.

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

    Looking at the joint sale of the J-6 Super Flanker by the Far East and China, it is obviously not a good feeling for Russia. After the destruction of the war, China took advantage of it again. Now the Sukhoi and Mikoyan design bureaus are almost unable to operate, and they have no way to deal with the Far East.  and pointing fingers at China's behavior. After all, the Chinese have not completely withdrawn their troops from Russia.

    They can only hope that the most embarrassing situation will not occur. Russia, whose aviation manufacturing capabilities have been greatly weakened, may one day go to the Far East and China to purchase this fighter jet that is somewhat related to them.
