Chapter 900: There is a reason why you are expensive (rd update, please subscribe)

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

After the performance of the Z1 attack reconnaissance helicopter and anti-tank missile, the Israeli military representatives were all stunned!
Not only the performance dazzled their eyes, but also the price!
This time, in order to purchase the 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 repeatedly after hearing the offer.

"It's too expensive, it's too expensive!"

The price for each Z1 attack reconnaissance helicopter is $7.242!
Four helicopters can buy an F1B jet fighter, which is the best fighter in the world!
"We hope to be able to purchase anti-tank missiles separately!"

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

"Of course. In addition to the air-based model, we also have the land-based "Hellhound". There are both man-portable and mobile models."

No matter what industry it is, salesmen are indispensable. Du Weixian is a salesman, but the products he sells are different.

"Mobile type?"

"Yes, Mr. Minister, look, this is our mobile Cerberus. It can be deployed on any off-road vehicle, even a Willys Jeep. A 4-mounted missile launcher can be installed at the rear of the vehicle. The missiles are facing the rear. When in 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 could act as a mobile anti-tank gun and could easily destroy the Arab tanks!

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

Du Weixian's tone seemed a bit exaggerated.

"With him, you won't need any anti-tank guns anymore. Anti-tank guns are just an outdated thing."

Are anti-tank guns obsolete?
This is not important, what is important is that we must tell them what is the best. Now here, the anti-tank missile is the best and most modern!
"It sounds good, but your Cerberus is too expensive. The French SS.10 anti-tank missile costs only 2090 francs, or $200, for a set of launch control equipment and a missile. But yours costs $250! It's really too expensive."

The stuff is good, but also very expensive!

Pinhas Lavon certainly didn't know that in another world, Israel's weapons were the same - they were good, but definitely not cheap!
Today's Nanyang manufacturing basically follows this principle - the products are good, but the prices are naturally not cheap.

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

Du Weixian's question made the Israeli officers ponder for a while. Indeed, French products are cheap, but they have never been used in the battlefield!
"Our anti-tank missiles are the only weapons in the world that have been tested in actual combat. Generals, what we need is a weapon that can defeat and destroy the enemy on the battlefield, not an unproven weapon. What do you think?"

Do you still need to feel it?
Nanyang's "Hellhound" is just such a weapon!

It had actually been to the battlefield, and looking at the several T34 tanks that had been blown into scrap metal not far away, everyone understood what to choose.

Soon, the Israeli delegation reached an agreement with Nanyang. In addition to purchasing 1000 "Hellhound" anti-tank missiles, they also purchased two Z1 attack reconnaissance helicopters.

Although some things are very expensive, they will still buy some to experiment. Who knows if there will be unexpected gains?
"We can buy helicopters ourselves and learn from their experience to make improvements."

When he made up his mind, Pinhas Lavon even had a suitable aircraft in mind - the French Skylark helicopter, the second helicopter in the world to purchase a turboshaft engine! Compared with the Z1 helicopter from Nanyang, the French product is relatively much cheaper. After all, it is a civilian product.

Thinking this in his mind, Pinhas Lavon asked again.

"Mr. Du, when can we go see your "Butcher's Bird"?!"

Butcher's bird!

It was the real star of the 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 blew up tens of thousands of Siamese troops.

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

Du Weixian replied.

"Soon, Mr. Minister, we'll be at the airport in a minute!"

Ten minutes later, when a "Butcher's Bird" appeared in front of Pinhas Lavon and others, they were all stunned.

"Isn't this FW190?"

How could Pinhas Lavon and his men not know this guy? A few years ago, when Israel was just established, it purchased as many as 55 FW190s from Southeast Asia. However, they did not expect that the famous "Butcher's Bird" was actually the FW190.

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

Du Weixian pointed at the plane in front of him and introduced it.

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

"To enhance its protection, we used bulletproof ceramic armor and added auxiliary fuel tanks inside the fuselage, which increased its combat radius to more than 600 kilometers and its bomb load to 1800 kilograms."

Is the Butcher's Bird advanced?
It is not advanced at all. In fact, it is basically a post-war improved version of FW190F8, except that the cockpit equipment, protection, fuel tanks, etc. have been redesigned. Of course, the most important thing is the weapons - it is equipped with the latest weapons.

"The 70mm rocket is extremely accurate. The 5.5kg multi-purpose warhead contains more than 1200 steel balls with a diameter of 5.5mm. Its killing radius exceeds 60 meters. In addition to attacking clustered targets such as infantry columns at a distance of 4000 meters, it can also attack tanks at a distance of 1000 meters. Its warhead has an armor penetration depth of 100mm, which is enough to destroy most tanks!"

Nanyang's 70mm rocket was developed based on the US military's MK40 air-to-air rocket. Unlike the US military's use of it for air combat, Nanyang uses it for ground attacks. However, it inherits the accuracy of air-to-air rockets.

Its successful use on the battlefield of Siam naturally attracted the attention of the military of various countries. In fact, it was this bird that earned the name "Butcher's Bird".

"Each Butcher Bird can carry six 6-tube honeycomb launchers, which can fire 19 rockets at a time. Its power is even better than the salvo of 114 100mm howitzers. So, gentlemen..."

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

"This is definitely the most suitable weapon for you. With it, you can easily wipe out the Arab army. With just a few planes, you can inflict unprecedented damage on them. Of course, we can also help you transform the FW190 aircraft you have now and turn it into a "butcher's bird."
