"Mr. Zhu, I heard that you are interested in your own J-6 or even J-5 fighter jets? Those are outdated aircraft, so why not buy good aircraft from India. They are cheap and good, and are very suitable for your national defense needs to sell to underdeveloped countries."

Zhu Zilong: “…”

"If you buy our plane, we can also buy one and get one of our main battle tanks..."

Zhu Zilong: “…”

Obviously, Zhu Zilong once again refreshed the thickness of Asan Brother's skin in his heart.

TM, it is obviously the worst aircraft and tank in the world, but he insists on saying that he is stronger than Chinese goods. He thinks that Zhu Zilong, a Chinese, is a brainless person?

Zhu Zilong wiped the cold sweat beads on his forehead and gave the logistician A San to the opposite side a big red envelope. Finally, the other party shut up.

Next, I started to cooperate very well at the beginning without talking about superficial articles and started to enter the formal military purchase case talks.

"Actually, I just want to buy a few semi-deferred landing ships sold to your country by Russia..."

After drinking all the tea in his hand, Zhu Zilong finally expressed his goal for this trip.

As a traditional major weapon purchaser of the former Soviet Union/Russia, the proportion of Soviet-Russian weapons among the three Indian armies is the highest in the world, and this ratio is said to be more than 85%.

In the minds of Indians, there seems to be an unwritten rule, that is, as long as China purchases advanced Russian weapons, India must follow suit and purchase more advanced models and must not be technically left behind by China.

A few simple examples can illustrate the problem: After China purchased the Su-30MKK, India immediately decided to purchase more Su-30MKIs, because it is said that the latter is technically more advanced than the former. In particular, its N011M passive phased array radar and AL-31FP type thrust vector engine are both more advanced than the Su-30MKK.

When we learned that China was modifying the Varyag aircraft carrier on its own, India immediately signed a contract with Russia to transform the Vikramatia aircraft carrier, and also introduced the MiG-29K carrier-based aircraft that is said to be "more advanced" than the J-15 developed by China.

It is said that after learning that China has purchased Russian weapons, the first sentence after meeting with Russian arms dealers was: Is there any more advanced model than China? If there is, take it out quickly.

Therefore, there is even a joke circulating in the international arms industry that whenever Russia launches new export weapons, it will try its best to encourage China to buy them, and sometimes even ask China to buy them, and even if the price is at a loss, it doesn’t care.

Because the shrewd Russians understand that as long as China agrees to buy, it will not take long for Indians who hear the news to come to their door soon. The same thing is: Is there anyone more advanced than China?

At this time, the Russians laughed and immediately asked for a price everywhere. Anyway, the Indians didn't care much about these things, and the two sides could soon finalize a large deal.

The little price difference that Russia lost from China may be regained dozens of times from Indians.

In addition, A San and others are basically not good at maintaining weapons, so weapons often have to be semi-retired and new weapons are purchased again. Over the years, the weapons in the warehouse have almost been sold directly as cabbage scrap iron.

Unfortunately, A San's military industry reputation has never been popular, so even if he sells it as scrap iron, few countries will buy it.

So Zhu Zilong wanted to buy test products, and he was a Chinese. Asan was still very proud of himself and believed that all Chinese people came to buy Indian goods. As expected, we are the strongest.

However, Zhu Zilong’s true thought was.

TM, Russian arms worth a price of scrap iron, can be obtained by saying a few nice words here.

Even if you can't get a lot of it, you can get some advanced or practical ones, and it won't attract the attention of China and other countries. Why not do it?

"Mr. Zhu, are you sure you want to buy the Russian Ivan Rogov-class dock landing ship...?"

"Yes."

"Okay, but the amount of this is limited to one, and you can't send it to our country's tanks."

Zhu Zilong rolled his eyes and thought that you would give me the tanks of A Sanguo for free, and I dare not use them.

In the end, Zhu Zilong bought the Ivan Rogov-class dock landing ship for more than 40 million yuan. It was ready-made and the one that can be used directly!

Think about it, the price of steel in mainland China is only more than 2,000 yuan per ton. Such guys with a displacement of about 10,000 tons only have such a little money, even if some of the special weapons on it are taken away.

This TM is also priced at the same price as scrap iron, so Zhu Zilong laughed at him.

The Russian Ivan Rogov-class dock landing ship was a former Soviet product and was noticed by Western intelligence agencies when it first appeared in the late 1970s.

However, the former Soviet Union was very generous. When this class of ships conducted military exercises, they also invited 12 Westerners and military officers to come and watch, which made Western journalists flattered.

The purpose of this is to show this large surface ship to the Western media to show its strength; on the other hand, this ship is not a main battleship and does not have much confidentiality.

The one Zhu Zilong bought is a lucky product.

On September 18, 2012, the Russian Navy sold several large landing ships in service to India. The former Soviet Union built three of these landing ships. Just after the fourth ship was built, the Soviet Union collapsed and disintegrated. The ship then rested at home all day, but it was actually a brand new product!

Seeing this, I believe you understand it. That’s right, Zhu Zilong bought the fourth ship now. It’s just that it has been put for a while, but it’s still 70% new!

Because the Indian military is going to be updated, it takes out the previous product for money.

The standard displacement of the "Ivan Rogov" class landing ship is 11,580 tons, full load displacement of 14,060 tons, a maximum speed of 29 knots (about 100 mph), and a cruising capacity of 27,500 nautical miles at 20 knots.

The maximum load capacity of this class of landing ships is, which can carry 100 tanks, 150 armored vehicles or 120 trucks, 6 small water and land craft or 3 air cushion landing craft, and 14 Ka-29 helicopters. It is said that it can directly transport more than one regiment of troops to hostile countries in one go!

The ship inherited the style of the Toad-class tank landing ship and designed a unique bow door with a retractable board behind the door. This design allows the landing ship to land directly on the shallows when it is loaded with personnel without floating equipment to log in.

In addition, the ship's firepower is very powerful.

The ship is equipped with a dual-mounted ship-air missile launcher, 2 quad-mounted ship-air missile launcher, a dual-mounted 76mm naval gun, 2 30-bar rocket launcher, and 4 30mm 6-bar near-defense guns.

Of course, this is useless.

The dual-mounted ship-air missile launcher and two quad-mounted ship-air missile launcher have been deliberately taken away by India due to disrepair and other reasons. Only 76mm naval guns, 2 30-barrel rocket launchers, and 4 30-million-6-barrel close-defense guns.

But even if there are only few modern cannons left on it, if you take the Ming Dynasty, um, the Ming Navy is the world's number one in technology! Ha!
