Chapter 1486: Big Auction (2)

The former Soviet Russian Navy originally planned to build a total of 13 "European Bisons", of which the Almaz Factory in Rakshasa St. Petersburg was responsible for the construction of 7 of them; it was built by the Sea Shipyard in Feodosia City, Crimea, Ukraine 6 ships. However, due to the disintegration of the Soviet Union, this construction plan has not been completed. At present, only 11 ships have been completed and put into active service, of which 3 ships belong to Uklan, and the other two have been half built and are now lying in the ocean. Work is suspended in the shipyard for materials. This time, they were put out for auction, including the three ships belonging to the Ukran Navy and the two semi-finished ships in the shipyard.
The battleship "European Bison" was obviously developed and produced for landing operations. The original mission was also used as a vehicle for raids on European islands and coasts, but now Wuklan still has the mind to engage in this kind of battle. ? After independence, the country's military strategy will shift its focus to complete homeland defense. Naturally, this type of equipment will be completely useless.
But for some countries, this type of warship is very useful, such as China.
Due to the well-known problems left over from history, China has a huge objective demand for landing operations. Therefore, one of the main tasks of this China delegation is to obtain several "European Bisons". Of course, if it can obtain the manufacturing technology of this type of ship That's even better.
But it is a pity that China is not the only country with such tactical needs. There are too many people coveting this type of warship. Therefore, the bidding of "European Bison" has been caught in a fierce competition from the beginning. Ki, Ibos, Isaac, Enchi, Libya, Annan, and China took turns to raise their placards. The price of the No. 1 ship also quickly climbed from the starting bid of 13 million US dollars, and soon exceeded 20 million US dollars and 30 million US dollars. In the end, it was acquired by Greece at a price of up to 36 million US dollars.
This price greatly exceeded China's psychological expectations for obtaining this type of ship, so after the price climbed to 30 million US dollars, it was very unwilling to withdraw from the competition.
The auctions of the next two ships also experienced extremely fierce competition. Like Huaxia, the Annan people also acted very positively. However, the wallet did not take advantage of them. In the end, the two ships sold for a high price of 35 million US dollars. One was acquired by Greece, and the other was returned to Earth Foundation-this is also funny, Earth Foundation and Greece, they are a pair of old enemies on the Mediterranean coast, and both of them want to recreate the glory of the Eastern Roman Empire. The other wanted to restore the glory of the Ottoman era, and even torn the ethnic conflicts between the Greeks and Turkis on the island of Cyprus. This type of beach-landing killer was bought by these two families, maybe someday. There is a big show to watch.
All three active battleships have been sold at good prices. The host at the scene originally thought that the market for the two semi-finished products still in the shipyard should not be too bad-the completion degree of one of the two ships is about 70%, and the other is about 50% completed. According to the budget given by the shipyard, it can be completed with an additional investment of about 15 million US dollars. Therefore, the auction will give two ships packaged, excluding the starting bid of 10 million US dollars for the renewal funds. The price, I wanted to get a price of 15-20 million based on the hot market just now, but I never thought that the result this time was beyond their expectations.
The starting price was 10 million U.S. dollars, and there was no one bidding!
In fact, someone had already reminded them about this situation in advance. For the Uklan at this moment, the surface is still calm, but the political situation is turbulent, and the supply chain that has been destroyed because of the split of the former Soviet Union and Russia. The system has caused buyers to be very cautious about purchasing such "semi-finished" equipment-who knows whether the shipyard can carry out effective production organization activities to complete the remaining parts after paying the deposit?
We must know that although the hull is at the Dahai Shipyard in Wukelan, all the supporting weapon systems are Rakshasa. The current domestic situation of Rakshasa is also in a mess. Can these weapons be produced on schedule and whether they are willing to produce and deliver these weapons? Very suspicious indeed.
With these concerns, everyone has doubts about using US$10 million to photograph these two unfinished ships, so the performance is not so positive.
The starting price of 10 million U.S. dollars did not respond to the host’s multiple bids. After urgent consultations by the organizing committee, it was decided to adopt the opinion of the
superior
who had reminded them that this might happen. Reduced price auctions.
This time, the starting price was reduced to $8 million.
There was still no placard, and the price was further reduced to 7 million U.S. dollars. If no one bids this time, the organizing committee intends to pass the bid.
Fortunately, this time the Huaxia delegation finally hesitated to raise the card after the host’s third bid. The host was greatly relieved and quickly dropped the hammer to announce the deal. The Huaxia delegation also reaped their first trophy— -Two unfinished "European Bisons".
"In order to take a bit of advantage, Huaxia needs to take a risk this time. I don't know if they will reach some other deals with Wuklan." This is the consensus of everyone at the auction site. However, this idea has not had time to come into being. With many associations, the next item displayed by the auctioneer on the stage completely attracted everyone's attention.
"This is Picture 22M "Backfire"!"
Everyone on the scene involuntarily let out a long sigh!
Figure 22M "Backfire", one of the strategic bombers equipped by the former Soviet Union, flew for the first time in August 1969, and began to equip a large number of troops in 1976. It is a very important part of the former Soviet-Russian "trinity" nuclear strike capability .
This fighter has a maximum take-off weight of 126 tons, a bomb load of 20 tons, a nuclear weapon, and a combat radius of about 2500 kilometers. It is propelled by two turbofan engines with a maximum afterburner thrust of 25.3 tons. With the aerodynamic layout of the swept wings, the maximum flight speed has reached an astonishing Mach 2.3!
This speed is faster than most fighter jets in the world!
The former Soviet Union and Russia produced and equipped as many as 810 Figure 22 and its various development models. Compared with the larger size and larger ammunition carrying capacity, longer range, but few numbers of Figure 160 "Pirate Flag", this type The bomber is the backbone of the former Soviet Russian strategic bombing force.
Once upon a time, it was still one of the most important and tricky opponents China had expected!
Back then, the China Air Force emphasized the "high-altitude and high-speed" performance of the fighter plane like a demon, in order to intercept this type of bomber that can attack at 2.3 times the speed of sound when necessary!
Unfortunately, in just a few years, the vicissitudes of life have been vicissitudes of life, and people are wrong. This type of bomber that made the China Air Force more wary of the time has now been put on auction. Whoever has more money can own it!
Especially the members of the Huaxia delegation, after seeing this lot, they couldn't help feeling sigh.
Among the items included in the lot details, there are 36 pictures-22M2/3 and 48 pictures-22K/R that belonged to Wukelan after the division. The old picture-22K/R starts at USD 10 million, and the new picture The starting price of -22M2/3 starts at 15 million US dollars. As far as the strategic bomber is concerned, this is undoubtedly the floor price.
Looking at Wu Kelan's full-fledged shot, he didn't plan to equip this kind of thing in the future.
