Siheyuan, my new life

Seeing the incredible expressions on the faces of the protectors, Lin Yu continued: "Asan's own basic industry is very weak, but they have a strong heart. After being severely taught a lesson by Longguo in 1962, the Indians thought about it and finally found the reason for their failure in the war, that is, the soldiers lacked an advanced weapon. So the Indian government began to prepare to develop a fully automatic rifle of its own. However, the efficiency of the Indian country is quite gratifying. The development of the automatic rifle did not officially begin until 1980. After 14 years of cooperation between India and the Belgian Fn company, it was finally announced in 1994 that a purely domestically produced fully automatic rifle had been successfully developed and named the INSAS fully automatic rifle. INSAS means a work of art among weapons."

Lin Yu took a puff of his cigar and continued: "After this news spread, it attracted the attention of the whole world. You know, at that time, the Belgian Fn company was a famous firearms company. Nearly half of the firearms in Europe came from this company. Even many arms dealers in Bald Eagle often purchased from this company. People are very curious about what kind of advanced weapon the Indians and Fn company have developed in fourteen years. The Indians held a grand press conference. When the invited guests from various countries saw the world's most advanced fully automatic rifle advocated by the Indians, they were stunned. The domestic rifle that the Indians spent fourteen years to develop still uses the wooden stock that has been eliminated by countries around the world, and the magazine is made of transparent plastic. The Indian host introduced that the reason for using transparent plastic magazines is to allow soldiers to see at a glance the specific number of bullets in the magazine. As for continuing to use wooden stocks instead of the iron stocks that are popular in various countries today, it is because of the hot climate of the Indian country. Avoid scalding soldiers. In the following live-fire shooting, there were even more problems. First, the gun jammed after just two shots. After finally replacing it with a small-caliber bullet made in Belgium, the guests from various countries present were even more shocked. This so-called world's most advanced fully automatic rifle can only fire single shots and three bursts, and cannot fire continuously at all. Especially after the test shooting, the target paper sent by the Indian soldiers was intact, and not a single bullet hit the target. The host explained that the soldiers took the wrong target paper. For such a rifle with frequent problems, the Indian high-level officials actually ordered 100,000 and distributed them directly to the soldiers. However, since India had no ability to produce small-caliber bullets, there were no bullets when the guns were distributed. It was not until India had a conflict with its neighbor Pakistan that the soldiers who were about to go to the battlefield went to collect bullets and found out that there were no bullets at all. So the Indian military quickly ordered about 200 million bullets from a Belgian company. With the blessing of India's speed, when these bullets arrived, the conflict with Pakistan had ended for a month. "

Zhou Di shook his head helplessly: "What a strange country."

Lin Yu sneered and said: "If India had only made a fool of itself with the INSAS rifle, it would not have been laughed at by countries around the world. After the third war with Pakistan, India's top leaders found that there was a huge gap between the tanks in service in their army and the world's advanced equipment, so they decided to develop an advanced tank by themselves, and then ambitiously launched a domestic main battle tank development plan code-named "Indian Cheetah". According to the requirements of the Indian military, the combat weight of the Indian Cheetah must reach 50 tons, equipped with a powerful 120mm rifled gun, and use high-performance ammunition. In addition, the Indian Cheetah tank must also have a series of advanced technologies such as advanced fire control systems, high-power engines, efficient transmission systems, and composite armor. The standard is to completely surpass the Leopard II main battle tank that Germany was developing at the time. However, ideals are full and reality is very skinny. India's ambitious Indian Cheetah project has faced huge challenges and difficulties from the beginning. India's own industrial foundation is weak, its scientific and technological research and development capabilities are limited, and many key technologies and equipment rely on imports, which also makes the development of the Indian Cheetah tank difficult, until In March 1984, two prototypes were barely manufactured. So in March of the following year, India officially renamed the Cheetah tank to the Arjun tank, and announced to the outside world that its defense industry had made great progress and had the ability to develop a world-class main battle tank. However, in fact, these two prototypes were almost entirely assembled with parts from Western countries, which could be called multinational products. Moreover, during the experiment, accidents occurred frequently. First, the 120mm rifled gun had poor shooting accuracy and even a serious accident of barrel explosion. What was even more embarrassing was that there was a problem with the turret ammunition feeding mechanism of the Arjun tank, resulting in a serious shortage of ready-to-fire shells for the tank, and the firing speed was far from meeting the design requirements; the engine and transmission of the Arjun tank also had problems, frequently overheating, flameout, and even spontaneous combustion. Other parts of this Arjun tank also had problems one after another. More importantly, since India itself had no production capacity at all, all parts had to be purchased from Western countries after a failure. Therefore, even the Indian military had completely given up on this Arjun tank that took many years and cost a huge amount of money to develop. "

Lin Yu took a puff of his cigar and continued, "Asia is also shocking in the development of aircraft. In 1983, the Astan Aviation Company began to develop a single-seat, single-engine, all-weather supersonic third-generation fighter for the Air Force. Also constrained by the weak industrial base in India, the main components of the aircraft, including the engine, were all imported. Until the first experimental aircraft took off in 2001, the Indian government had spent 675 million US dollars. As expected, India's test flight still had an accident, and the test aircraft did not retract its landing gear. After the test flight, the military found hundreds of problems of varying sizes, and it was obvious that even if the aircraft was produced, it would be useless. The fighter jet developed by Stan Aviation Company after nearly 20 years can barely reach the standard of the world's third-generation aircraft, but now the world's most advanced fighter jets have developed to the fourth-generation aircraft, which means that the Tejas fighter developed by Stan Aviation Company has not yet been officially put into production and service, but it has already lagged far behind other countries. The Indian top management can only continue to invest a lot of money to upgrade this Tejas fighter, which was not officially put into service until 2018. Although the Indians boasted that this Tejas fighter was a fifth-generation fighter, those who should understand it know that its actual level is just barely entering the ranks of the fourth-generation aircraft.
