Chapter 315

Depleted uranium armor-piercing bullets are definitely not available in China.

You only need to develop the technology and do some experiments. The technical results will ultimately be used as a technical reserve, not anything else.

You can never use this kind of weapon that has irreversible damage to the environment on your own territory.

The Iraqis would not consider this. The US imperialism is obviously dissatisfied with them. In their territory, if they do not use it, the Americans will use it. It is better to use this thing to trouble the US imperialism.

“I will communicate with them, as long as there is, I will develop the corresponding armor-piercing projectile and try it.” Zheng Yucheng nodded, and Wang Guilin didn’t say anything.

Qin Jinyuan wanted to say something, but in the end he didn’t say anything.

He belongs to 541, not 404. Once he offends Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin, there will be nothing wrong with him.

“Iran and Iraqis, how do we face it?” Wang Guilin asked Zheng Yucheng.

“How can we deal with it? The Iranians also see the power of our tank guns. The experimental data is given to their family. As for whether they place an order or how many orders they place, we don’t care.” Xie Kai said.

The Iraqis will definitely place an order, and the power of this tank gun has exceeded their expectations.

The only difference is that in the current situation, the Iraqis will worry about the performance of the final product.

The ability of tank guns to reach this level does not mean that the ultimate attack power of the tank has reached this level.

“We can only wait.” Zheng Yucheng also knew that it was useless for them to worry about it.

In another car, the Iraqis were also discussing the results of the tank gun test they saw.

“General, I think it is very detrimental for us to blindly place an order without seeing the prototype and not knowing the overall performance. Otherwise, the tank we will get will be too far from the expected, which will cause very serious consequences.” Ha Leigh Mossan talked less along the way.

Both Ibrahim and Issad have been discussing the thickness of the armor penetration and armor defense strength of the T72 tank gun. At the same time, comparing the attack power and defense power of the Iranian M60 and other tanks, I finally felt that the 404 was 359. Tanks are currently the most suitable for them.

Of course, the price of the other party does not exceed their budget.

China’s weapons and equipment are cheap. Everyone knows that the third-generation tanks can’t be too cheap anywhere. As long as it does not exceed the price of the T72 tank too much, it is acceptable.

President Saddam has always been generous in the weapons and equipment purchased by the Tikrit Division.

“Colonel, do you have an idea?” Isard looked at Harry Mossan with a calm face.

Ibrahim didn’t know what Harry Mossang wanted to say. Out of the trust of his opponent, since he had spoken, he naturally had some thoughts, and he did not speak immediately.

Harry Mossan in the co-pilot position glanced at the driver next to him, turned his head and spoke in Arabic: “General, this Chinese experiment is likely to be specially prepared for us.”

“Their armor-piercing ability of tank guns is what we have seen with our own eyes. For other Chinese artillery shells, the performance is very good…” Hearing this, Ishad also cleared up the anger that was already in his heart.

The Chinese may cheat for their orders in this kind of matter, and there is no way to rule it out.

Even the Soviets often do this.

In order to sell equipment, or for the US knife in their hands, they are often shown the best. In the end, the money is paid, and only when they get it, they find that the things they get are far from what they imagined.

“It’s true, but it’s just a tank gun, not the tank gun on the prototype car, and it’s not a tank gun after it’s finalized!” Harry Mossant watched the driver from the corner of his eye from time to time.

The driver was provided by base 404, and they didn’t know whether they knew Arabic.

Harry Mossan hopes that the driver understands what they say, so that it fits his plan.

But the driver stared at the road intently, without distracting him.

“They said to themselves that the recoil of a 125mm tank gun is too small. With such a thickness of armor penetration, the chamber pressure cannot be low. How many rounds of the tank gun’s service life is, and how long is the service life of the ring gear of the tank turret under pressure? , Automatic loading mechanism, defense capabilities, etc., we all only see separate theoretical models, but not integrated into tanks to see samples…” Harry Mossant considered a lot.

Both Ibrahim and Ishad nodded.

“We need finished products! We need tanks that can be provided in large quantities now.” Isard nodded in favor of the Colonel. “The Tikrit Division is facing an expansion. If you can’t find a more advanced tank, you can only use the Soviet T72 tank! ”

When he said this, he also looked at the driver.

The driver didn’t change his expression, his body just swayed with the bumps of the car.

“We need to watch those damn Persian actions!” After Ibrahim finished speaking, Harry Mossan didn’t speak again, and Ishad also stopped talking.

In another car, the Iranian who came from behind was also discussing the 404 test gun with a complicated expression.

For them, this test shot can test the deviation between the theoretical data they have learned and the actual performance.

“The damn Arabs are here, do we place an order? With China’s production capacity, such an advanced tank cannot be produced in many quantities in a year. This is not their Type 69 main battle tank. It can be produced in a year. Thousands of vehicles!” Alpha’s expression of resentment shows how upset he is with the Iraqis who have just arrived.

“But their prototype hasn’t come out yet, and no one knows what the final performance will be.” Ihor’s face was also ugly.

They delayed placing orders, just waiting for the 404 tank prototype.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Seeing the tank prototype, even if it has not been finalized, you can roughly understand the technical level of the 359 tank.

The guard needs advanced tanks.

It is best to be a more advanced tank than the T72 that the Soviets can provide.

Otherwise, they will not stay at the 404 base all the time to look at the faces of Zheng Yucheng and others.

“The Arabs cooperated with them earlier than us. Whether we can get the first opportunity in cooperation is related to whether we can get this tank first, or the damn Arab get it first.” Hazari looked solemn.

“We have what the Chinese want.” Alpha said suddenly.

Hazari and Ihor looked at him puzzledly.

“F-14 and matching missiles! This is what the Chinese desperately want to obtain.” Alpha said, and the other two were shocked.

“It’s impossible! Our F-14s are already getting fewer and fewer, and it is impossible to provide them to the Chinese!” Hazari jumped up and hit his head heavily on the roof of the car.

The F-14 Tomcat fighter is an artifact that Iran can use to contain the Iraqis. Everyone knows that the Chinese want to obtain the above technology.

“Many parts of the damaged fighters that have been dismantled have been dismantled and used, and the rest may be used to exchange what we need with the Chinese.” Ihor did not react as violently as Hazari. .

The F-14 is flying less and less, and Iran is worrying about this now.

The Americans can no longer provide them with spare parts, and Iran has a bad relationship with the entire Western world.

“If China can imitate the F-14 fighter jets we provide, it will be a good thing for us.” Alpha nodded.

Hazari stopped speaking.

He is a mullah, and he cannot be the master of this matter.

Alpha’s status in Khomeini’s heart is much higher than him, and Ihor is the leader of one of the most elite divisions of the new guard.

The two did not discuss related matters.



The driver is provided by the base and is not only responsible for driving them. It is impossible for the Iranians who have been in the base for so long to be unclear.

The journey was not long, and the convoy returned to the base in less than half an hour.

Both Iraqis and Iranians hope to talk to the person in charge of the base as soon as possible.

Zheng Yucheng and others excuse too much fatigue, so both sides waited.

“Iraqis don’t have a clear attitude? They just say they can’t see the samples?” Zheng Yucheng asked the person in front of him.

If the Iraqis were here, they would find that this was the driver who drove them.

“They said they need to keep an eye on the movements of the Iranians. If our side cannot provide the tanks they need, we can only use Soviet T72 tanks…” the driver nodded and said.

Wang Guilin asked another person, the driver who was driving the Iranian, “What is the attitude of the Iranian?”

“They discussed, using some of the technical equipment of the F-14 fighter jet to exchange some conditions with us…” Another driver repeated the Iranian discussion in detail.

“Isn’t it a temptation?” Xie Kai’s eyes lit up.

If the Iranians are willing to take out the F-14, it will be a big promotion for the entire Chinese aircraft industry.

In any case, the Iranians are no better, they have used the F-14 for so many years.

A lot of experience can be learned from the imitation of the F-14 fighter.

Far more useful than the wreckage of the warplane provided to them by the Iraqis.

“They may have said it deliberately.” The driver did not dare to guarantee that the Iranian should know his identity.

“In this case, you can communicate with the Iranians first.” Zheng Yucheng said, looking at Xie Kai.

Xie Kai looked at him with helpless expression, “Who to talk to, that’s the management committee business…”

The F-14 fighter jet imitation is very difficult for the current domestic aviation industry. He has resisted the heavy fighter project for this reason.

However, as long as many of the technologies on the F-14 can be digested and absorbed, the gap between the domestic and the international ones can be shortened a lot.

“You have no opinion?” Wang Guilin asked Xie Kai.

Once talked about the Tomcat fighter, 404 would definitely have to pay for it. Other domestic units have their own projects and cannot spend much money on it.

“I don’t have any opinion on not full imitation. Some of the above technologies, once digested, will greatly promote our overall domestic fighter manufacturing level.” Xie Kai once again stated his position.


He needs the avionics system, fire control system and other technologies on the F-14. The performance of the F-14 in the hands of the Iranian is not bad. It is the real third-generation aircraft technology.

Using the J-10, this will make the newly released J-10 technical performance much better than the original technology.

The higher the starting point, the further development will naturally be.

Can’t lose at the starting line, right?

“359 tank, when will I see the sample? How long will it take to finalize? How much output can be provided each month after finalization?” Before the two sides sat down completely, Alpha asked.

“General, there is no urgent need for your country. These don’t seem to be important, right?” Xie Kai asked with a smile.

“It’s not that our needs are not urgent, but that you have not been able to provide products that we can rest assured.” Ihor is not at all polite. “We are waiting here, hoping to understand more clearly.”

“The performance of the tank is definitely not worse than what we introduced to you!” Zheng Yucheng said casually. “After all, this is a project we cooperated with Pakistan, and many potential customers have expressed their interest.”

“What we can give you is not only US dollars, but also some other things.” When Alpha saw Zheng Yucheng use Iraqis to crush them, he was immediately unhappy.

“What you can provide, other customers can also provide. There are two advanced third-generation fighter samples, which are already in our hands. These are all given to us free of charge by our customers.” Zheng Yucheng bragged not to draw drafts. Don’t wrinkle, “What can you offer?”

Before the Iranians opened the conditions, he took the lead in speaking.

The Iranians were a little dumbfounded for a while, they never thought that the other party would be so shameless.

Deliberately told the driver, people who thought 404 would beg them to talk, but it turned out to be like this.

“We can provide the world’s most advanced three-generation heavy fighters! The F-14 Tomcat fighters, apart from us, are also owned by the Americans…” Alpha’s confidence is a little lacking.

Iraq shot down two F-14s. If they provided the wreckage of these two fighters to China, what they thought would be a bargaining chip would no longer be a bargaining chip.

“This type of fighter has been eliminated. In the 1970s, it was an advanced fighter. Until now, even the U.S. Navy no longer purchases new F-14s. Instead, it replaces the Navy’s F-18A with a simpler and easier-to-maintain F-18A. -14…” Xie Kai shook his head and said.

He knew clearly that the reason why F-14 was replaced by F-18A was not because of complicated maintenance and high cost, but because Grumman was scammed.

The U.S. military industry system is private, and the relationship is not enough, the background is not enough, and it is very normal to be replaced.

The final facts prove that the performance of the F-18A fighter is far worse than that of the F-14, but the maintenance and use cost is not lower than that of the F-14, or even higher.

Even in the 21st century, this fighter plane is still not behind. There are not many Iranians in hand, and only 20 or 30 can fly. The US emperor still dare not do it…

But this must not be said to Iranians?

“Even the fighters of the 1970s and the technology of the 1960s are far more advanced than most fighters in the world, and are more advanced than these fighters. At present, there are few models that can be found!” Ihor frowned. Looking at Xie Kai, the kid said it seemed to make sense.
