Military parade in Dar es Salaam

December 9 A military parade was held at the central stadium of the administrative capital of Tanzania, Dar es Salaam, to commemorate the 2011 anniversary of the declaration of Tanganyika independence (mainland Tanzania; Zanzibar independence was proclaimed in 50).

Among other things, a number of interesting models of military equipment of the Tanzanian armed forces were demonstrated at the military parade, including recently received modernized Chinese Tanks type 59G and Chinese wheeled armored personnel carriers type 92A (WZ551).

In principle, nothing is so for Tanzania.

Normal, Budgety ...

Cheap and cheerful.

In the Chinese, they quietly and peacefully armed local Aborigines with their equipment. And this is not only in Tanzania.

Chinese mechanics flashed a good T-55. The idea does not sparkle with originality, but it will do for Africa. Outwardly, a completely modern tank. Ukraine and Russia have a serious competitor in this direction.

Splin - and the military-industrial complex and the rulers of Russia and Ukraine had to click less with their beaks in revolutionary glamorous outbursts ...

[Ascetic]

Not surprisingly, almost the entire economy and foreign trade is mainly tied to India and China.

Hodgepodge from around the world - clear problems with logistics

China will soon quietly kick us out of all markets - we will finally arm our army so that the plants do not fall apart.

[Alexey Prikazchikov]

So that the plants do not fall, it is necessary for them to have two sources of income from the sale of equipment and civilian products. Look amers like by the year 15 the plant that the Abrams did was shut down.

[Ascetic]

I completely agree. I think one of the global mistakes of the Soviet leadership is the focused specialization of the military-industrial complex. If the Soviet military-industrial complex was at least partially tied to the production of consumer goods, we would have the most advanced equipment and electronics in the world that was successfully quoted in the world. Many consider my opinion controversial for a number of reasons, even deny such an opportunity, I will not argue. Somehow I will make a selection of the advanced military technologies of the USSR that could be successfully used in the ordinary sphere, but instead they were secret and banned, and after a year or two they were successfully implemented in the West as advanced developments in the civilian sphere.

Alexey Prikazchikov - and + another third source of income ... a sane factory elite, which will provide income at the level of BRAINS, on which the duration of the "plant" life cycle depends. I consider such a tandem to be the core of any undertaking, but the meat is in the style of R&D, production capacity, competitive products with a developed nomenclature at the exit, and here it is, a coveted bonus in your pocket and almost everyone becomes interested in living.
