Chapter 900: The truth about expensiveness (third update, please subscribe)

The same gaze appeared not only in the eyes of the Yugoslavs, but also in the eyes of another group of guests.

After the performance of Z1 attack reconnaissance helicopter and anti-tank missile, the representatives of the Israeli army from Israel were all stunned by it!

It’s not just the performance that blinds them, but the price as well!

This time, in order to purchase urgently needed advanced weapons from Southeast Asia, Israel sent a delegation headed by Defense Minister Pinhas Lavon.

Even as the Minister of Defense, Pinhas Lavon shook his head after hearing the quotation.

“Too expensive, too expensive!”

Each Z1 attack reconnaissance helicopter is quoted at US$72,420!

Four helicopters can buy one F1B jet fighter, which is the best fighter jet in the world!

“We hope to be able to purchase anti-tank missiles separately!”

As a Jew, Pinhas Lavon knows how to settle accounts. Although helicopters are expensive, anti-tank missiles are much cheaper, which can greatly improve the anti-tank capabilities of the Israeli infantry.

"Of course. In addition to the air-based version, we also have land-based "Cerberus", not only individual portable ones, but also mobile ones."

No matter what industry it is. You can't do without a salesman, and Du Weixian is a salesman, but the products he sells are different.

"Mobile type?"

"Yes, Mr. Minister, you see, this is our mobile "Cerberus", which can be deployed on any off-road vehicle, even It's a Willys Jeep. It can also be equipped with 4 missile launchers on the rear of the vehicle. The missiles are directed towards the rear. During combat, the rear of the vehicle needs to be aimed at the target."

Listening to Du Weixian's words, Pinhas Lavon had already thought of its use in his mind - with it, a small jeep can serve as a mobile anti-tank gun, which can easily destroy Arab tanks!

"On the battlefield, it is a fast and maneuverable anti-tank gun, a heavy anti-tank gun that can destroy enemy heavy tanks four kilometers away!"

Du Weixian's tone seemed a bit exaggerated. .

“With him, you will no longer need anti-tank guns. Anti-tank guns are just an outdated thing.”

Are anti-tank guns obsolete?

This is not important. What is important is that you must tell them what is best. Now here, anti-tank missiles are the best and most modern!

"It sounds very good, but your "Cerberus" is too expensive. The French SS.10 anti-tank missile costs only 2,090 francs for a set of launch control equipment and a missile. It’s only 200 US dollars, but your price is as high as 250 US dollars! ”

The stuff is good, but it’s also very expensive!

Of course Pinhas Lavon didn’t know that in another world, the same was true for Israeli weapons – good stuff, but definitely not cheap!

Nowadays, Nanyang manufacturing basically follows this principle - the goods are good, but the price is naturally impossible to be cheap.

"It's expensive. Our anti-tank missiles have a longer range, greater power, and higher accuracy. They are definitely worth the money. More importantly, have the French SS.10 anti-tank missiles been tested in actual combat? ?”

Du Weixian’s rhetorical question made the Israeli officers think for a moment. Indeed, French products are cheap, but they have never been on the battlefield!

“Our anti-tank missile is the only combat-tested weapon in the world. Generals, what we need is a weapon that can defeat the enemy and destroy the enemy on the battlefield, not an unproven weapon. Weapons, what do you think?”

Do you still have to think about it?

Nanyang’s “Cerber Hound” is just that kind of weapon!

It has actually been on the battlefield. Looking at several T34 tanks not far away that were blown into scrap, everyone knew what to choose.

Soon, the Israeli delegation reached an agreement with Nanyang. In addition to purchasing 1,000 "Cerberus" anti-tank missiles, they also purchased two Z1 attack reconnaissance helicopters.

Although some things are very expensive, they will still buy some for testing. Who knows if there will be unexpected gains?

“We can buy our own helicopters and learn from their experience to improve them.”

When making up this idea, Pinhas Lavon even already had a suitable aircraft in mind— —The French Skylark helicopter, the second helicopter in the world to purchase a turboshaft engine! Compared with Nanyang's Z1 helicopter, French goods are relatively much cheaper. After all, it is a civilian product.

With this thought in mind, Pinhas Lavon asked again.

"Mr. Du, when can we take a look at your "Butcher's Bird"!"

Butcher's Bird!

It was the real star of this war. At least in the eyes of the Israeli army, it almost changed the situation of the war - in just a few days, it destroyed hundreds of tanks, armored vehicles and a large number of vehicles, and also blew tens of thousands of Siamese troops into the sky.

For Israel, which has always regarded the air force as the foundation of national survival, they have naturally set their sights on the butcher bird.

Du Weixian replied.

"Soon, Mr. Minister, we will go to the airport in a moment!"

Ten minutes later, when a "Butcher Bird" appeared at Pinhas Lavon and others In front of them, they were all stunned.

“This, isn’t this FW190?”

How could Pinhas Lavon and the others not know this guy? A few years ago, when Israel was just founded, it purchased as many as 55 FW190s from Southeast Asia. But what they didn't expect was the famous "Butcher Bird" It's actually FW190.

"Mr. Minister, its predecessor is indeed FW190, but they are two completely different aircraft!"

Du Weixian pointed to the aircraft in front of him and introduced.

“As we all know, the launch platform is very important when carrying out ground attacks, and as a weapon launch platform-FW190, it is undoubtedly a very suitable launch platform. It can take off and land at a field airport or even a flat ground, Moreover, it has the advantages of good low-altitude control and first-class cockpit design, making it an ideal choice for close air support. "The reason why we chose it is that these aircraft are free of charge and are of the same era. The search party brought "scrap metal" from Germany.

“In order to enhance its protective performance, we used bulletproof ceramic armor and added an auxiliary fuel tank inside the body, making its combat radius more than 600 kilometers and its bomb load up to 1,800 kilograms.”

Is the Butcher Bird advanced?

It is not advanced at all. In fact, it is basically a post-war improved version of the FW190F8, except that the cockpit equipment, protection, fuel tanks, etc. have been redesigned. Of course, the most important thing is the weapon-it The latest weapons.

“The 70mm rocket has extremely high accuracy. The 5.5kg multi-purpose warhead is equipped with more than 1,200 steel balls with a diameter of 5.5mm. Its killing radius exceeds 60 meters. In addition to being able to attack from 4,000 meters away In addition to cluster targets like infantry columns, it can also attack tanks at a distance of 1,000 meters. Its warhead has a penetration depth of 100 millimeters, which is enough to destroy most tanks! "

Nanyang's 70mm rocket, It is developed on the basis of the US military's MK40 air-to-air rocket. Unlike the US military which is used for air combat, Nanyang uses it for ground attacks. However, it inherits the accuracy of air-to-air rockets.

And its successful use on the battlefield in Siam naturally attracted the attention of the military of various countries. In fact, it was its butcher's name that gave it the "Butcher's Bird".

"Each "Butcher Bird" can carry 6 19-tube honeycomb launchers and can fire 114 rockets at a time. Its power is not even inferior to the salvo of 100 105mm howitzers, so gentlemen..."

Looking at the Israeli military delegation in front of him, Du Weixian said.

“This is definitely the most suitable weapon for you. With it, you can easily sweep away the Arab army. You only need a few planes to bring unprecedented destruction to them. Of course, we can also help You modified the existing FW190 aircraft and turned it into a "butcher bird"
