China will supply Argentina with a consignment of VN1 armored personnel carriers

The Argentine defense ministry and the China North China Industrial Industries Group Corporation (Norinco) have signed a contract to supply 110 VN1 armored personnel carriers with 8x8 wheel formula equipped with an 12.7-mm machine gun, reports blog Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies.

These machines are intended for the Argentine battalion as part of the joint Argentine-Chilean peacekeeping forces Fuerza de Paz Binacional Cruz del Sur, as well as for the 10 of the mechanized brigade of the Argentine armed forces.

In addition, the agreement provides for the subsequent assembly of these machines at the shipbuilding and ship repair company Tandanor, located in Buenos Aires, which is part of the state shipbuilding and ship repair association Complejo Industrial Naval Argentino (CINAR). Moreover, it is planned that the BTR will be assembled, including for export to other Latin American countries.

It is worth noting that Argentina became the second customer of these machines in Latin America after Venezuela, which signed a contract for the supply of a batch of 60 armored personnel carriers for marines in 2012 year. The first armored personnel carriers of the Venezuelan military received in December 2014 of the year.

BTR VN1 is an export version of the main Chinese wheeled armored personnel carrier PLA ZBL09, developed by Inner Mongolia First Machinery Group Company (known as Plant No. 617), which is part of the Norinco group. It is also the only plant in the PRC that produces the main Tanks.

I wonder why they have a machine gun in the stern?

[sir_obs]

Probably a tachanka, and they have a machine gun aft :)

The Americans will conveniently shoot this technique when dumped.

[GUKTU]

For the convenience of a grenade launcher aiming at an armored personnel carrier))))

Something does not seem like anything to the Chinese, under the machine there is a very small pile of stones, well, really ....

Dropped our contract. It is one thing to smile at the beautiful presidency of Argentina, it is another thing to think about the well-being of Russia.

Do not skimp, and buy GOOD CHINA ... Doubt the existence of such, have not seen?

In economics, there are two ways to make a profit:
1. The value of the trade margin.
2. Product turnover.
Usually, those who go the first way fail.
T.S. greed is ruining .....

And what ours can offer, the 80 armored personnel carrier is already outdated, and the Boomerang is still raw.

It is not the fact that the Russian defense industry has found itself out of business, having "missed" the contract, but the fact that there is a "fork" indicated by you. Extremely similar to the one that befell the Red Army in 1941 ...

The fate of the Red Army in 41 is not a bad technique, but zero logistics. For example, the number of armor tanks actually wrecked is several times greater than the number produced.
Just a year ago, before the Boomerangs, many generals sang that we were 10 years behind in armored personnel carriers. This is talking about "profuked". In addition, Argentina is the closest candidate to the BRICS. It is possible that supplies of armored personnel carriers to Argentina are equal to iron from China and anti-explosive wheels from Russia.
In addition, no one has canceled Antarctic orders.

Argentina would be saved from default, and you say profuca orders

It’s one thing to smile at our President, it’s another to have enough money to buy our equipment! And here on the forum, many said that it was time to stop lending, for beautiful eyes!

[grinow.ivan]

This is not our contract.

Firepower
The serial version of the BMP ZBL-09 for the PLA is equipped with a rotating turret with a 30 mm automatic cannon and a 7,62 mm caliber machine gun. The gun is equipped with a farm providing the stiffness of the gun when firing, which increases accuracy. On the sides of the turret installed guides ATGM HJ-73. On the frontal sheet of the tower are two three-barrel smoke grenade launchers.
Security Edit
The body of the BMP ZBL-09 has bulletproof protection, the frontal armor protects against armor-piercing bullets of 12,7 mm caliber.
Mobility
ZBL-09 develops up to 100 km / h on the highway and is able to force water barriers afloat at a speed of up to 8 km / h with two screws.

Weapons and protection are weak, but the speed is quite decent heh heh for Argentine routes.

China found its customer there too. Soon someone will have to move!

In the process, the Chinese dumped with prices for their products. Therefore, they buy.

I wouldn’t buy aviation equipment from the Chinese and the air defense is not real, the avaricious pays twice ...

[kil 31]

But what about us? We came up with this common cooperation. Our defense export minus when they will fight for contracts. It seems that Argentina has offered few kickbacks, just right for China, but not enough for our officials.

[Tutu]

this is also a VN-1 infantry fighting vehicle.

[Roman 1977]

The Chinese, so come on our heels in Latin America for the supply of arms. Remember, Chinese shipments to Venezuela:
18 K-8W Karakorum UBS. Venezuela and China are negotiating the supply of combat-training aircraft L-15 LIFT-direct competitor of our Yak-130

8 transporters Shaanxi Y-8 (clone of our An-12, however ...)
10 three-coordinate radar JYL-1 and 3 radar JY-11B

8 anti-submarine helicopters Harbin Z-9С

The 2012 contract of the year was concluded by the Venezuelan Ministry of Defense with the Chinese group Norinco for the purchase of a large number of armored vehicles and artillery systems for the Marine Corps. This contract worth more than 500 million dollars has become one of the largest well-known sales of Chinese ground weapons abroad. According to Venezuelan sources, the contract package includes the delivery of Venezuela’s marines, 80 VN-1 armored personnel carriers, and VN-18 tracked combat vehicles of marines (the export version of the famous Chinese marines ZBD05, also known as ZBD2000), who have lost ay-of-the-ten-year-old-manshi. amphibious tanks) VN-16 on the same base (export version of the ZTD05 machine), command and engineering vehicles, self-propelled mortars of 81 and 120 mm caliber, as well as SR-5 bicalyber rocket launcher systems using salvo fire Aketi caliber missile 122 and 220 mm, and various vehicles.

The 141 unit of armored vehicles for the National Guard, deliveries of vehicles began in December 2012. These vehicles include 10 armored vehicles for command personnel (their model is not reported), 111 armored vehicles for the transport of personnel (4х4 VN-4), 10 armored vehicles with a water cannon WTC-1b and 10 spec. mine sweep machines (ABV)

[shans2]

some scoundrels)), stole our glider su 25)), even the engines are one to one), the yak 130 also resembles su 25, but the engines are not above the wings ...

[Cosmos1987]

Nice machine!) By the way, the platform is universal

BTR has become the basis of a whole family. On its basis, created or are in the process of development: an infantry fighting vehicle, a heavy weapon combat vehicle (BMTV) with a 105 mm anti-tank gun in a four-seater turret, 122 mm and 155 mm self-propelled howitzers and a 120 mm self-propelled mortar, armored command - staff and repair and recovery vehicles and other models of military equipment.

[shans2]

would have bought our boomerangs, maybe, but they have not yet been put into mass production ... we have new equipment just on the way, and the old one is no longer relevant ...

[grinow.ivan]

If they don’t buy from the Chinese, they will still sell under the brand of another country.

[new communist]

And I liked the concept of the Chinese armored personnel carrier. Nothing more, ceramic armor, a machine gun provides excellent visibility, normal cross-country ability, mirrors, possibly a condenser. For their tasks, everything is thought out, and therefore buy.

[sir_obs]

Buy because it is cheap in comparison with others. Let's see how it will be operated. The Chinese and Kalash do, but compared to ours, this is not Kalash at all.

[Yeraz]

and what will happen like this for 5 years, the Chinese are advancing, and they are going to those countries where Russian weapons are popular.

What is the use of breaking spears? Russia will take its systematic and reliable. Chinese Kalash have long overtaken the original export. S-300 systems The Chinese repeated, but the most unique !!! The Panzer and Vityaz complexes, the Emirates and the South Dog-eaters, which are not in service, were bought and they say thanks, although this is only a little bit in air safety.
Why not sell air? Early warning systems are seen at 6 with a half thousand kilometers. Agree with South Africa and build two stations there

[APASUS]

So the Chinese are not worried in compliance with any obligations, they just took the Finnish model Patria AMV and spank like cars around the world they sell.
