Everyone knows that Russia has always been an important partner of our country. In terms of military development, Russia has also helped our country very much. Whether it is arms exports or technical assistance, Russia is not too stingy to our country. But since recent years, Russia seems to have made some changes in its cooperation with our country's military field. They simply sell weapons to our country and no longer transfer technology. Although many people are worried that we will be led by others in this way, experts from our country said that there is actually no need to worry at all. Because as our country continues to grow stronger, we no longer rely so on Russia's weapons and technology.
But this is not good news for Russia, because my country would provide Russia with a large amount of military expenses to purchase weapons, but if my country reduces the purchase or procurement of weapons in the future, Russia will inevitably suffer huge economic losses. But Russia and our country are good brothers after all, and we have to help. But if we want us to continue to buy their weapons, we must agree to China with a condition. According to foreign media reports recently, China and Russia signed a latest military purchase contract, but this time seems different from the past, because there is a special additional item in this weapon order, which can also be regarded as a requirement put forward by our country on Russia.
This order is for my country to purchase AHL heavy helicopter from Russia. In addition, my country hopes that the two countries will jointly develop this heavy helicopter. It is planned that Russia will relocate its production lines to China by 2030, and by 2040, it will produce 100 for China to use. The condition is that we pay, and Russia needs to provide technology unconditionally. Technology must be shared openly with China. The maximum take-off weight of AHL heavy helicopters can reach 42 tons and have a capacity of 600 kilometers.
Why do we attach great importance to this helicopter? Experts explained that this is a multi-terrain battlefield aircraft, suitable for tasks in multiple terrain, and can be said to be very wide in use and can play a great role in future wars. Foreign media believe that although Russia needs to unconditionally share technology to China, I believe that Russia has no reason to refuse this cooperation, because the order volume given by China is really tempting. As we all know, what Russia needs most now is funds. Because the sanctions imposed on Russia in the United States and NATO in recent years have made Russia's economic development difficult, so the military purchase orders sent by our country this time are good news for them.
