The engine and gearbox have been solved. It can be said that even if the heart problems of the third-generation tank can be solved perfectly, for Mr. Zhu, other problems of the third-generation tank are constantly being solved one by one.
.
The advanced fire control system was developed by a team led by Cao Jianli. In fact, R&D is nothing, but more importantly, production. The biggest constraint on the trans fire control system is how to produce qualified products. In addition to these, naturally
And that tank gun.
The 125mm tank gun has been released and has been equipped with the current 85 tank and is being marketed to the public. Compared with the 105mm gun, its performance is already strong enough, but it is still not as standard as a domestic third-generation tank. It needs to be more
Large chamber pressure and more advanced shells, so these also require further research by artillery R&D personnel.
Qin Zhenhua was also clear about this, so he followed up with the matter about the Second Machine Factory.
"Mr. Zhu, after visiting our diesel engine ignition, you should also go to the second machine factory to take a look and give them some pressure so that they can avoid knowing about foreign trade projects all day long, and then putting our tank gun research and development to the
It's gone behind the head." Qin Zhenhua said.
In this case, it is naturally a joke. The second machine factory knows the importance of the third-generation tank project, and how important it is. How can we not do our best? However, technological improvements require accumulation bit by bit
Yes, for our third-generation tanks, if they cannot be in place in one step, they will first go to the existing gun barrel test, and wait until the new tank gun is developed and then loaded. After the new second-phase bomb and the third-phase bomb are developed,
If you install it again, there will be no problem.
Hearing Qin Zhenhua's words, Mr. Zhu smiled and said to Qin Zhenhua: "Yes, of course I want to go to the Second Machine Factory to see it. I heard that the Second Machine Factory has been quite busy recently and has many production and R&D tasks.
.Especially the super cannon.”
Speaking of super cannons, Qin Zhenhua thought of what he saw before returning from the Second Machine Factory, and couldn't help but say: "Old Zhu, they have super cannons there, with the largest caliber, which has reached 203 mm, but that
The cannon is too bulky and it will be inconvenient to operate without a tracked chassis.”
Track chassis? After hearing Qin Zhenhua's words, Zhu Lao thought of something and said, "Crawler chassis is not difficult, of course, we have it on hand."
What, we have it? When Qin Zhenhua heard Mr. Zhu's words, his eyes lit up: "We have it? Where are we?"
What is this? I can find it without any effort to find it. I just need such a chassis, but there is something ready to be done?
"The front line was seized from the south." Zhu Lao said: "It should be in the hands of the army. If the second machine factory wants it, then let the second machine factory apply."
The Second Machine Factory, which received this news, was also ecstatic. Two days later, when Mr. Zhu was still inspecting the Second Machine Factory, the M107 self-propelled howitzer was transported.
"The Americans' large caliber howitzers are available in 175mm and 203mm. These two types of howitzers are placed on the same chassis. This chassis is specially designed, aluminum alloy welded, without turrets, the whole vehicle is
The artillery and the chassis are composed of two parts. Therefore, there is also a saying called the M110 203mm self-propelled gun mount and the M107 175mm self-propelled gun mount."
Looking at this equipment, Zhu Lao explained with a smile.
Before developing the tank, Mr. Zhu originally studied cannons and was naturally familiar with the second machine factory. He was also very clear about the cannons from various countries in the world. Now, looking at the M107 self-propelled howitzer in front of him, he was also at this time.
I started to explain.
If this kind of cannon is installed on a fully enclosed turret, you can imagine how huge and bloated it will be. Therefore, the current structure is very simple and convenient to reduce the weight of the entire vehicle. However, the combat part has no armor protection.
The disadvantages are nicknamed as cannon holders.
Due to the large number of people in the entire gun squad, there were only 5 crew members, namely the gunman, the driver and 3 gunners, who were qualified to sit in the M110 car, while the rest were riding on the M548 tracked ammunition
On the transport truck.
Now, everyone was very excited when they looked at this monster, and Xie Huimin felt like he was getting a treasure. Every time he followed Qin Zhenhua, something good happened. We actually have this kind of guy.
I really didn't expect that in the past, we didn't even know without attention in this area, so we had it ourselves.
"Master Xie, you have to study this gun mount carefully to see how they are fixed and used. If they can be sold in the future, we will find a chassis in our machine factory and improve it." Qin Zhenhua
Said.
Xie Huimin nodded: "Yes, of course that's the case, but it's too late to improve now. I think we can install the 203mm cannon on this chassis first, and just happen to participate in this international defense exhibition."
The cannon above is still 175mm, but the installation method of these two cannons is the same, so the 203mm cannon on your side can also be transplanted. After the transplant is over, we will show it first!
He said, and he had already started researching these two types of cannons are installed on the same model of M158 gun mount. The cannon uses a screw-bar, an M35 type combo firing machine, and a variable hydraulic pressure
Pneumatic stationary and back-off machine and pneumatic pressure balance machine. These devices can be fully improved by our side.
The artillery direction machine and the high and low machine are both tooth arc-type and are mainly operated by hydraulic power. They can also be manually operated in emergencies.
Look at the back, there is a special loading machine, composed of a bullet conveyor and a loading machine, and operated by hydraulic power. This kind of big shell is also very large, so the bullet conveyor has two bullet conveyor arms, and
Like a lifting arm, the shells are lifted up and sent to the loading slide rail; slide along the slide rail to reach the loading position of the gun tail; use the pushing rod to push the bullet into the chamber, the whole process is regular and not complicated.
"I think there are not many places that need improvement. Even if it is directly stuffed into our 59 tank chassis, there is no problem." After reading this, Xie Huimin breathed out again and said.
If you have a sample, you can refer to it. After the overall study is completed, this modification should not be complicated.
"What you do is your business. However, although this matter is important, it is your responsibility to develop a powerful 125mm cannon for our third generation of tanks. How are you doing now?" Qin Zhenhua smiled and said to him.
