There are also discarding sabot armor-piercing projectiles in China, which are the technology obtained from the T62 tank back then. There is a round cake in the middle, a rocket-like projectile, thick in the middle and thin on both sides. Domestic imitations are almost made in this way. As for the results
Well, the troops didn't like it very much.
Even the troops who were already equipped with 100 tanks couldn't bear it and asked to replace the original tank guns.
Now, what Qin Zhenhua is processing should be a bullet holder, but isn't this shape too complicated?
As the turning tool advances, the outline of the bullet holder is gradually revealed, and its complex configuration is seen. It is thicker than five large pancakes. What kind of bullet holder is this?
When it finally took shape, among everyone's surprised gazes, a few people who knew the inside story had already begun to frown. They had seen the original accident report. This thing was unreliable.
However, just when they were about to speak, Zhou Xuejun had already ran over. With excitement on his face, he shouted loudly: "Dear leaders, I have contacted the army. This is all true. At present,
With ordinary steel-core bullets, a penetration depth of 250 millimeters has been achieved!"
This is true. Now the No.1 Machinery Factory finally has something to show off. The No.1 Machinery Factory is not only a production unit, but also a careful research unit. Under the leadership of the factory leaders, a group of technicians strive for excellence and continuous progress.
Finally achieved a rapid improvement in the firepower of our own tanks!
Zhou Xuejun had already thought of this passage in his mind. As the deputy director in charge of technology, he must have a good reputation. Now that Zhou Xuejun had finished his report, looking at the smile on Minister Zhu's face, he knew that the leader was now
My heart must be very happy.
However, when he turned his head and saw the workpiece processed on the CNC machine tool, he frowned again. This thing looked familiar. Could it be...
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly started beating violently, and at the same time, sweat started to form on his back.
"Okay, it's really great. We came at the right time today. Now that the armor-piercing projectile has been made, let's try it out for us and let us see." Minister Zhu said.
"But, leaders, testing cannons is risky," Zhou Xuejun said.
Before Zhou Xuejun finished speaking, Zhu Lao on the side waved his hand: "Since we have already tried it in the army, what dangers can there be? Let's see from a distance, no problem, let's go, I can't wait to witness our
Domestic artillery shells have a penetration depth of 300 millimeters!"
What is processed is just a warhead, but everyone present is an expert. Who doesn't know? Just find a cartridge case, take apart the warhead, and replace it. It doesn't take anything.
Of course, everyone still stayed away when loading the shells. Now, everyone came out of the workshop with a smile and headed towards the shooting range.
The maintenance workshop is very close to the shooting range. After the tanks here are repaired, they have to be driven out for test runs, so they are almost separated by a wall.
The preparations are proceeding very quickly. After all, the tanks repaired here, if they have fire control systems, will already have a gun test link, so the shooting range is all ready. The difference now is that the targets have been replaced and used
Place a 400 mm thick steel plate at the target position, and after a while, you can witness the miracle with your own eyes.
Everyone is excited. If there is such a deep penetration, it will definitely be a breakthrough for our side!
"Brother Zhenhua, this tungsten alloy bullet core is indeed heavy enough!" Wang Erzhu and Qin Zhenhua cooperated tacitly. They had already installed the bullet core and bullet holder, and then went out to the ammunition depot next to the shooting range to load the bullet themselves.
The barrel was empty, and Wang Erzhu couldn't help but sigh while carrying the bullet core.
"Yes, tungsten has a greater specific gravity than steel. It is originally the best material for making warheads, but it is just more expensive." Qin Zhenhua said: "In the future, when our results are promoted, it is estimated that steel core armor-piercing projectiles will still be the main ones.
Those who grow tungsten alloy will probably equip a small amount of it for the ace division's ace tanker, and treat it as a treasure."
While chatting, they went to load the shells. Unexpectedly, they saw Zhou Xuejun on the way. He came from the shooting range. At this time, the expression on his face was very strange.
"Qin Zhenhua, this cannonball..."
"Director Zhou, I have done you a big favor again. Apart from other requests, please don't forget about the four quotas." Qin Zhenhua immediately changed the subject.
Hearing this topic, Zhou Xuejun's face became even more embarrassed. He had agreed to it at the beginning, but at that time it was because things were urgent and there was nothing he could do to keep up with the progress. As for now, Zhou Xuejun naturally couldn't answer, so he asked again
Changed the topic: "I'm going to the R&D room to have a look. The leaders will definitely ask to see the M48 tank in the afternoon. The R&D room, really, it's so embarrassing at this time!"
After saying that, Zhou Xuejun hurried away again. Looking at his back, Qin Zhenhua's eyes showed a strange light.
Director Zhou probably knew what he was going to do, but this was his plan and he would never give up this opportunity.
Father, your achievements will finally be displayed in front of the leaders!
The shooting range is all dirt. It was originally a grassland, but the tanks rolled it back and forth. The weeds quickly withered and died. However, after a rain, if the tanks are not used for a few days, they will become green again. The vitality of the weeds
, always so tenacious.
The spring breeze blows and gives birth again.
Now, just as the tanks and targets were prepared and a simple stand was set up for the leaders at a safe distance, Qin Zhenhua came over with Wang Erzhu and the shells.
The cannonballs came over and were first placed in front of the stands to show them to the leaders.
"This warhead seems to be short, right?" Looking at the assembly, and then thinking about the warhead during processing, I originally thought that it would protrude far from the cartridge case, but now, surrounded by the saddle-shaped cartridge holder, the warhead is
Xiaohe just showed her sharp corners.
"Most of the bullet cores are stuffed into the barrel." Qin Zhenhua explained: "Moreover, it is not optimized yet. Various optimizations can be carried out in the future. Of course, sufficient financial support is needed."
"As long as we can hit 300 millimeters today, we will grant you any funding you want!" Minister Zhu said with a smile: "And not only will we grant you funding, but we will also grant you a certificate from the ministry."
Special reward! This year’s model worker title in the department will be given to you!”
Qin Zhenhua scratched his head: "I don't want anything else. Just hold a commendation meeting for me in the factory. If all the leaders can come, I will be more satisfied."
