If there are no political clauses attached to this world, then which country's equipment do countries in the world want to buy the most? The answer is Chinese equipment.
The main focus of Chinese equipment is that you only care about kryptonite, and I will think about it.
China's foreign trade weapons and equipment are different from those of other countries. The weapons and equipment sold by other countries are basically self-use versions, which is what we commonly call monkey weapons.
When China exports weapons, the main thing is usually krypton gold customization.
As long as you can afford it, the mainland will tailor an equipment sales package for you according to your actual national conditions and the opponents you are going to face, ensuring that you want to buy it after you buy it.
This arms sales routine is not something that China has only thought of now, we have done so since the Cold War.
The most typical example is China's arms exports to Southeast Asian countries. When the mainland exported the 59 tank, it took into account the sultry climate in Southeast Asia and equipped the 59 tank with air conditioning. At that time, the tank crews on the mainland could not use such good equipment.
The VT-4 tanks that the mainland is now exporting to Thailand have also customized a set of weapons programs for Thailand. Thailand purchased a large number of T-84 tanks from Ukraine back then, although they no longer use the T-84, but the supporting weapons and equipment of the T-84 can still be used normally. So they hope that China can give the VT-4 some modifications, at least compatible with Ukrainian weapons and equipment. Without saying a word, the Chinese side specially customized a compatible version of the T-84 main weapon for Thailand. Allow Thailand to use the T-84 related weapon systems in warehouses.
Another example is the weapons exported by China to Saudi Arabia, which focuses on luxury. There is some heavy equipment that only the Arabs can afford, and the Chinese side does not plan to equip it itself, such as super-heavy infantry fighting vehicles. It's a luxury weapon that combines super-heavy armor with the comfort of its members. Chinese soldiers certainly don't need such luxury, but the Saudi Army, which has been beaten by the Houthis and is afraid to get out of the car to fight, certainly needs it.
With the development of technology, the modular design of weapons allows China's tailor-made services not only to customize individual weapons for users, but also to tailor armies for other countries. And even the military combat system. This is the latest service provided by NORINCO: "System-level equipment provision". It not only covers all kinds of light and heavy weapons and equipment needed to form an information-based and intelligent synthetic brigade, but also includes all kinds of information-based, support, support, and command systems, as well as a set of all computers and software systems required by brigade-level combat units. China will match the appropriate weapons and equipment and command and operating systems according to the specific national conditions of the countries that purchase them. And it comes with corresponding training and weapons and equipment maintenance services.
Rather than simply selling weapons, the tone of weapons customization, or even the sale of services, can be traced back to China's first arms sales.
In January 1979, Egypt took the initiative to find China and wanted to purchase a batch of J-7 fighters.
There is a saying about providing after-sales service, at that time the Chinese did it for the first time, when the Soviet Union and the United States were very tacit, never provide people with any after-sales service, after all, dead soldiers will not write bad reviews, on the contrary, the greater the loss of armaments, the greater the demand for weapons and equipment.
When the Egyptians heard about it, there was such a good thing? Directly to China sold 60 J-7s and supporting after-sales service, and by the way, entrusted China to repair hundreds of MiG-21 fighters provided by the Soviet Union.
The Egyptian side even felt that it had taken too much advantage, so it opened its own weapons warehouse to China and supplied China with a large number of aircraft parts.
The behavior of the Chinese in directly not paying attention to martial virtue and providing weapons with after-sales forced the United States and the Soviet Union to abandon the idea of selling people and astronautics in order to keep their own arms market.
Therefore, if all political conditions are removed, China's weapons and equipment are the most popular. Such a scene emerged during the second Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the Armenian-Afghan war a few years earlier. The two sides used rockets provided by China to fire at each other.
Armenia uses Chinese WM-80 and AR-2 rocket artillery; Azerbaijan also followed suit and purchased the WS-1 rocket launcher authorized by the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation to be produced in Turkey. North Industries and Aerospace Technology are fighting in the Caucasus.
Armenia was uncomfortable with this war, because in addition to Chinese weapons, in order to curry favor with the United States, they also purchased a large number of Indian weapons at the request of the United States. As a result, Armenia was defeated directly by Azerbaijan due to insufficient follow-up forces.
The Chinese pay attention to integrity, even when it comes to arms exports. It is precisely this kind of integrity that makes China's weapons and equipment very popular around the world.
