Amir's exclamation just now was not too expensive, but too cheap!

Now, the life of the original t72 gun barrel of Iraq has approached its limit, and the newly produced t72 tanks on the production line also require new gun barrels. Because of the friendly relations between Iraq and the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union "almost at the cost price", each gun barrel was charged at 3,400 US dollars per gun barrel. For Iraq, there are production lines, but the gun barrels cannot be produced by themselves. They can only be imported from the Soviet Union. By exporting gun barrels, the Soviet Union can also make a steady profit. This batch of brand new gun barrels only costs 200 US dollars. Isn't this cheap?

However, Andre didn't understand what he meant. He thought it was expensive, so he reduced it by half, one hundred dollars per piece, which was sixty thousand dollars. He and Voramir each had half, and there were also 30,000 dollars, which was his salary for a year.

"No problem, we'll have to ask for all these six hundred and twenty-one," Amir said.

"Nothing counts, sixty thousand dollars." Andre was also very happy: "This money, 30,000 US dollars, can be directly transferred to my account, and the other 30,000 US dollars, Voramir, do you have an account abroad? By the way, just call it directly to your daughter's account."

Voramir's mouth could not be closed, and more than 600 gun barrels were enough for an armored division. In this way, it became scrap iron. Then, all the expenses of his daughter's study in Europe were released?

I remember that my pension has not yet been released, that I remember that I was fighting for the country, but I couldn’t even get the treatment of a soldier, and I saw that it is so easy to make money now. I am afraid that there will be a change in everyone’s hearts.

Money is a wonderful thing. In any country or society, money is not omnipotent. However, without money, it is absolutely impossible.** can make a person become greedy.

The high city wall erected in Voramir's heart suddenly collapsed, and Voramir only saw the gold all over the ground.

"In our warehouse, there are also a large number of tank shells."

Tank shells? Amir was overjoyed when he heard this. Tank shells were also something that Iraq was in urgent need of.

For various reasons, when the Soviet Union sold weapons to other friendly countries, it would shrink to a certain extent, ensuring that the weapons used by the Soviet Union's own army were the most advanced, and it was also to prevent the West from obtaining its own secrets due to the spread of weapons. For example, the Iraqi T72 tank was simplified on the basis of the Soviet Union's own use. The simplified main armor, simplified fire control, and simplified shells.

Fire control, Iraq itself has been upgraded, the main armor, which Iraq cannot move now. And the shells, President Kusai is very dissatisfied with.

Now, in the duel of armor power, the main type of bullet is armor-piercing bomb.

Armor-piercing bullets are to penetrate the armor of a tank, which is what the saying goes, head-on. They mainly rely on the high kinetic energy of the projectile when it hits the target and its own high-strength breaking through the steel armor. If you want to make a hole in the armor, it is not good without a tough body. Therefore, the projectile of an armor-piercing bullet needs to be harder than the tank armor.

The different materials of the pointed core of the armor-piercing bullets have an important impact on the depth of the armor-piercing. The Soviet Union exported the cores of high-density alloy steel, while the self-used ones were tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets made of tungsten carbide and other materials, and even depleted uranium armor-piercing bullets.

Among these types of bombs, depleted uranium armor-piercing bombs are the most inhumane ones. Depleted uranium is a by-product left by the production of uranium 235. In order to prevent the radioactive pollution caused by it, it can only be treated as nuclear waste for a long time. However, when certain elements are incorporated into depleted uranium, it will become a high-density, high-strength, and high-tough metal. The performance of this metal must exceed the toughest tungsten alloy. Using it to make armor-piercing bombs can not only turn waste into treasure, but also greatly improve the armor-piercing ability.

Moreover, when the depleted uranium bomb hits an armored vehicle such as a tank, the huge impact force can generate a high temperature of more than 900c. The temperature of uranium burning in the air is only 400c. Therefore, the core of the bullet will burn itself during the process of penetrating the armor, reducing the local strength of the armor, breaking through the armor, and killing personnel and internal equipment in the vehicle.

However, this kind of armor-piercing bomb is very troublesome to maintain, and after use, it will cause nuclear pollution. It will not only bring various radioactive diseases to the local residents, but also the personnel who were used at that time will also have certain sequelae. This has been verified by the strength of the Gulf War. More than ten years after the war, some veterans in this war began to discover their own symptoms.

Therefore, for Kusai, obtaining the tungsten alloy armor-piercing bomb used by the Soviet Union is a very effective way to improve the power of the t72 tanks equipped by Iraq.

Moreover, the Soviet Union used its own warheads not only different, but also the launching medicines were better. Therefore, although the tank guns were the same, the firepower of the exported T72 was weaker than that of the Soviet Union.

Now, when I heard that the one-eyed colonel who had made a 180-degree turn in front of me mentioned the shells, Amir's eyes lit up and asked, "What shells are there in your warehouse?"

"The tail of the 125mm tank gun has a stable shell-out armor-piercing projectile, the tail-stable armor-piercing projectile and the tail-stable grenade." Voramir said.

Although there have been shells like broken armor shells in the history of tank guns, unfortunately, they can only be fired by rifled guns. Therefore, in later generations, except for the British armored soldiers who have shells like broken armor shells, this kind of shell has been extinct in other countries.

"What kind of armor-piercing bomb is it? Are there any depleted uranium bombs?" Amir asked.

"Sorry, Mr. Kochakin, we only have tungsten alloy armor-piercing bombs here. The depleted uranium bombs are usually stored in complex conditions. There are not. They are only assigned to European troops." Voramir said.

This is the best! Amir was about to say that he would buy all the shells, although he was a little greedy.

However, Andre next to him was worried. He could have various excuses to sell the gun barrel. Although this was not in line with the regulations, for example, the gun barrel was actually responsible for recycling the steel of the gun barrel, but it had a very high performance. It could not be used as a tank gun, or other uses. Now all aspects of the Soviet Union are very chaotic. He did not have any problems doing this, but the shells were not. Because shells could not be sold, and they could not be sold even if they rust. If there was a problem with the shells, they could only be destroyed!

Seeing Andre's expression, Voramir knew that Andre had never thought about selling shells.

"Recently, isn't the military region going to hold an exercise code-named Iron Lion?" asked Voramir.

After mentioning this, Voramir immediately thought that half a month later, the Kiev Military Region would indeed conduct a military exercise. This military exercise would definitely fire a large number of shells. At that time, it would only take more zeros to the final count.

This idea is good.

"How many scrap shells are there in our warehouse now?" Andre asked. Now in his mouth, those shells are scrapped.

"There are armor-piercing bombs, armor-piercing bombs and grenades each." Voramir said. Each one is one dollar, and it is still 20,000 dollars. For him, this is a huge amount.

A total of 60,000 rounds! This is enough for several Iraqi armored divisions to use, and Amir was also very moved.

"Then, let's consume an additional 4,000 shells each during this exercise, each shell of thirty dollars. Comrade Kochajin, what do you think?"

The price of the tank gun that had just been negotiated, Andre felt that he had said it too early, and he suffered a little loss, so he decided to find it back on the shells, and it was impossible to sell all the 60,000 rounds, otherwise what would the exercise troops use?

In fact, a shell of thirty dollars per round is not expensive. You should know that Iraq's shrinking shells imported from the Soviet Union are more than twice as expensive than this.

Of course, Amir would not agree to this price: "The barrel is only one hundred dollars per, and one shell is only thirty dollars. Three shells are worth one barrel. This is not a good deal. What we are talking about now is scrapped shells."

"Twenty-five dollars," Andre looked at Amir, and saw that he had not expressed his words yet, so he continued: "Twenty dollars per piece can't be cheaper, otherwise, the shells will not be sold."

"Yes, this is already the lowest price. Ten thousand two thousand shells, a total of 240,000, plus the 60,000 US dollars just now, a total of 300,000 US dollars, and it is also a whole number." Voramir said.

Three hundred thousand dollars! In Voramir's eyes, all of them were golden gold at this time.

"Okay, then we'll decide that, but you have to hit me with five hundred armor-piercing bullets." Amir said.

"No question." Andre agreed and it was not difficult to send out five hundred more.

Amir was very happy. Today was a good start, helping Iraq save a lot of foreign exchange. It seems that President Kusai said it well that this place will become an Iraqi paradise.

Each person can get $150,000. Voramir was extremely excited, but he seemed to be unsatisfied and said, "Do you want automatic rifles, bazooka, grenades, these weapons?"

Amir shook his head. He didn't even look down on those light weapons. What he needed was advanced weapons from the Soviet Union that Iraq could not produce.

There are many places in Africa fighting in wars. It seems that you can contact there to see if you can sell more weapons. Voramir thought to himself.

With the conclusion of this transaction, Amir's vigorous arms smuggling operation in the Soviet Union finally kicked off. (To be continued...)
