As Qi Yiming expected, the National Day military parade showed the outside world the power of China's pLAR military power and national defense equipment construction level, and led to a small wave of arms export trends.

At this time, Kuwait ordered a considerable number of army weapons from China, including 20 VNll tracked infantry fighting vehicles and 20 VT-IA main battle tanks. The total contract value is US$600 million, which is considered to be of high quality and low price. Originally, China

Weapons also face some competitors in Kuwait. For example, Kuwait originally tended to buy Soviet BNP2 infantry combat vehicles, but after on-site inspection of the Chinese VNll, it was believed that VNll has stronger combat power at similar prices, from the fine workmanship.

, in terms of reliability of quality, electronic level and other aspects, BNP2 and VNlIf are not of the same era at all.

In fact, it is essentially true. VNll is the product that Northern Industry only focuses on in the second decade of the 21st century. The gap is as many as 20 or 30 years.

The competitor of the VT-IA main battle tank is Yugoslav M84 main battle tank. This tank is actually developed from the Soviet-made T2 and has certain victories in firepower and on-board systems, but the old foundation is still the T2.

The Ado that can't be helped is still a big gap compared to the standard third-generation tanks like VT-IA. Even the price of VT-IA is not much more expensive than the T2, and it is cheaper than the M84 sold in Yugoslavia, so the Kuwaiti people are also

It was natural that Chinese tanks were selected.

After Qi Yiming learned about it, he felt that there were some other factors in it. Last year, AVIC independently participated in a bidding event for the Kuwait Air Force. The Fighter Long produced by them, including the A180B fighter jet jointly launched by McDonald and Northrop.

A large order (including weapon system) of nearly $200 million.

AVIC has a little problem with its positioning, and it still plays a low price tag in Kuwait. Although the price of the JF-11 gradually increased from 800,000 to 1.06 million for Bc11 and then increased to 11 million, it is still only about B18.

Half the price of Bumblebee. If the Xiaolong fights against Bumblebee, the winning rate is about 6 and slightly weaker than Bumblebee, but the cost-effectiveness is more cost-effective than Bumblebee.

But Kuwait is also a good person who is not short of money, and in the end he gave the orders for forty fighter planes to the Americans. Cheng Fei was very upset when he saw the order of $1.9 billion in the Americans' purse.

As China has repeatedly made a big splash in the international market, many small countries have already positioned China as a powerful target that needs to be curled by, especially countries like Kuwait that are small but wealthy. They must develop more balanced policies and serve several big countries well.

I know that China was not very satisfied with losing the Air Force orders. In the subsequent army bidding, Kuwait became more inclined to Chinese products, and in the end, it gave China a US$600 million order without much trouble, which was somewhat of a kind of compensation.

Qi Yiming also had other concerns. If he couldn't live much, Saddam would attack Kuwait. It would be impossible for him to be defeated at that time. If these steps were to be taken, it would be impossible.

The tank and the main battle tank fell into Iraq, which was obviously unpleasant, and it may affect the image of China's exported weapons. Therefore, Qi Yiming decided to drag it as much as possible on the issue of delivery, or in small batches.

Deliver part of it first, so that the war cannot affect your arms business

Another close neighbor of Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, one of the main export markets of Chinese arms, has once again attracted the price of Chinese weapons. Although Saudi Arabia did not pass through Prince Sultan's old path this time, it changed to the army.

People came to buy weapons, but Shenghua still wanted to give some relevant personnel some advice, but the amount was not as huge as Prince Sultan. It seems that corruption is not as good as it is, and it is not very important to have enough status.

This time Saudi Arabia is interested in the infantry fighting vehicles produced by China. The increasingly chaotic regional situation makes Saudi Arabia more and more hope to build a powerful army that can defend itself and maintain its regional status. In the military community, this kind of perception has gradually become aware of it.

That is, the Chinese Army is the strongest ground force in the world. They have strict discipline, advanced tactical styles, and obviously better weapons and equipment than other countries. Therefore, even Saudi Arabia is unwilling to distribute too many weapons orders to China.

, but they believe more in buying powerful Chinese infantry chariots than picking piranhas from Movag, Switzerland.

In fact, piranhas are not bad either, and multiple models of piranha armored vehicles are sold around the world. The US military is also its main service target (US military model L20, and later developed the Stryker Infantry Chariot based on piranhas.

The trick to the long-lasting mermaid armored vehicles is its best load-to-weight ratio and internal and external space ratio. Many armored vehicles are much larger than piranhas and Strykers, but the internal space is more cramped than piranhas. Moreover, piranhas also have excellent advantages.

The power system and suspension device also consider many possibilities in the design, such as airborne and terrain adaptability.

However, the competitor of Piranha is the highly integrated and modular NIP multi-function infantry vehicle. The above piranha armored vehicles have the advantages of basically NIP, and NIP also has the ability that Piranha does not have, which is in a short time.

Mission package replacement capability. Within a fastest eight hours, you can complete the replacement of the NIP of a personnel carrier mission package with an air defense mission package or an anti-armor mission package. There are more than a dozen different types of mission packages available.

Choice, that is, as long as you buy these car bodies, you can actually do several or even dozens of jobs.

And in terms of price, multi-functional infantry vehicles are basically the same as piranhas, but in terms of advanced nature, piranhas cannot be compared with NIP, so naturally the Saudis chose the multi-functional infantry vehicles produced by China Shenghua.

This order is also a jealous big order. Saudi Arabia's general plan is to purchase a total of 156 wheeled armored vehicles within ten years, including B-wheel, 6-wheel and 4-wheel different shapes. This is for Qi Yiming

It's no problem. NIP can already choose to adjust it to six or four wheels.

It was normal to take ten years to manufacture and deliver such a large quantity, but even if Qi Yiming does not completely use the base's manufacturing capacity, it does not take so long to supply Saudi Arabia with the production capacity of domestic military enterprises.

Therefore, during the negotiations, Qi Yiming took the initiative to reduce the delivery time, which also surprised the Saudis.

RNIPV is priced at US$1 million, Saudi Arabia is expected to purchase 700 vehicles; UNIPV is 20,000 US dollars, Saudi Arabia intends to purchase 60 vehicles; HNIPV is priced at 560,000 units, and the number of purchases is 30 vehicles. The total contract amount is 200 million to US$200 million. Shenghua promises to be

All NIP multi-function infantry fighting vehicles will be delivered within four years

In fact, with the base's output, if all the tank factories are fully activated, these infantry tanks can be manufactured in about two or three days. However, that is too amazing, so Qi Yiming did not allocate much quota to the base for production, and

It is to supplement the base production capacity, because he signed a relatively strict delivery agreement with Saudi Arabia. If Shenghua's manufacturers cannot deliver all the products on time, Qi Yiming will start the base to produce the poor infantry fighting vehicle that period.

Make up.

The reason for this is that such large orders have a promoting effect on all industries in the entire industrial chain, including steel, electronics, military industry, composite materials, etc., which will create a large number of jobs and allow these companies to quickly accumulate experience and mature.

, the lives of employees of enterprises with good performance can be improved, and they will also create taxes and profits. If they are handed over to the base, it will basically be Qi Yiming who took all the US dollar bills sent by Saudi Arabia in his pocket, which is produced.

There is not much benefit, and the return on funds is obtained.

It is worth mentioning that the NIP sold to Saudi Arabia is also a lower-level version, which is still quite different from the NIP of the real base version. For example, the armor strength produced by the base is at least the products produced by Shenghua Military Vehicle Factory.

More than twice, the bigger gap is in electronic products. Although the version obtained by Saudi Arabia also has relatively excellent inter-car communication and data link systems, the version of the base has stronger mission computers and more convenient functions, attacks

The effect of capacity improvement is obvious.

Speaking of the NIP obtained by Saudi Arabia, it has a data link system called "Sand Scorpion". The data link terminal on each multi-functional infantry vehicle is not charged extra. This is also something that the Saudis are satisfied with, because if there are thousands of data links

The terminal and the entire system have to calculate extra money. You will know once you calculate the account. At least Saudi Arabia will have to pay more than 100 million US dollars.

The Sand Scorpion Comprehensive Data Link System is actually a comprehensive data link system developed by Qi Yiming for the base that is specially sold to Saudi Arabia. It is about two generations lower than the current Chinese tactical data link system "Fei Lian", and

The US military's Ltuk6 is about the same level. This new data link can be integrated into weapons such as fighter jets, rocket launchers and infantry fighting vehicles sold to Saudi Arabia by China. It only requires a simple system upgrade. Of course, the data link system must be completed.

The upgrade naturally requires an upgrade fee. Considering that Saudi Arabia has equipped about hundreds of Chinese aircraft and a large number of other equipment, all of which have completed the upgrade of the Sand Scorpion system, it may cost up to US$600 million.

Of course, this money is definitely worth the money. If the sand scorpion system is integrated into all Saudi equipment, it can at least increase the combat efficiency of the Saudi army by more than half. In fact, this sand scorpion system is also Qi Yiming

Foreshadowing, if Saudi Arabia purchases any weapons, it will have to use the power of Chinese military-industrial enterprises to integrate the data terminal of Sand Scorpion. Obviously, some countries will not be happy to let China grasp their product parameters. Then the best choice is

Buy Chinese goods directly.

For example, Saudi army, infantry fighting vehicles, artillery and other systems are all made of the same system. As a result, the main battle tanks are unable to be effectively connected because they are US-based, which causes great waste and losses. So Qi Yiming did this
Chapter completed!
