The Soviet Union was a traditional land power, and the Soviet army was the strongest, so the main combat weapons of the army also had their distinct characteristics.
China is becoming more and more familiar with T-72. I have secretly imported T-72M and then opened it to study it. Recently, Qin Zhenhua deceived another T-72 from the oil region, so the T-72 has been studied.
They are almost inseparable. It can be said that even if they face their own 88 tanks, they have their own advantages.
Qin Zhenhua is very familiar with this tank. It comes from the Xia Tagir Design Bureau. In the past, Xia Tagir was unknown. This design bureau is located in the Ural Mountains. It was the transfer of Soviet military industry to the Ural area during World War II.
It flourished afterwards.
Afterwards, after World War II, all those who should be relocated were moved. The tank designers of Lower Tagil watched others go to big cities to enjoy their happiness. They were still watching Ural Mountain every day. Fortunately, the second-rate factory Lower Tagil
Finally, the genius tank designer Kartsev was welcomed. This guy is not only skilled, but also brave, so big that he dared to play with the General Administration of Armored Soldiers in his palm.
At that time, a generation of famous car T-64 was born and became the leader of Soviet armored soldiers. However, soon, due to the use of a large number of advanced technologies, the armored soldiers were too low, which made them very anxious. Kartsev was thus "developed"
A reliable T-64 simplified tank mission. They were very anxious? They even brought 6 prototypes of T-64A main battle tanks.
After research, Kartsev found that many of these seemingly high-end tanks are actually quite immature. He felt that this solution was not reliable at all. So, with a little bit of bad taste in competing with his peers.
He didn't plan to develop a new tank based on the T-64, but instead started a new job. He decided to develop a "167 Project" based on the "167 Project" he designed, combined with some technologies that have been proven to be mature on the "172 Project" to develop a "172 Project" based on the "167 Project"
Brand new tank, project code name "172M Project".
The name of this project is a simplified version of Project 172, but it actually has nothing to do with Project 172. It is hidden from the General Administration of Armored Soldiers? Tagil made this new tank? At this time, the wood has been completed. The General Administration of Armored Soldiers found that it was being removed from the tower.
Jill fooled it? However, the overall performance of this kind of tank is inferior to that of the T-64A, but its designs are more mature and reliable than the T-64A tank, and its structure is relatively simple and easier to produce. It meets the needs of the Soviet tank sea.
So? After some psychological entanglement, the Soviets decided to install two tanks at the same time. The tank of Tagil was named after the T-72 tank.
So, if you know these inside stories, you will know that the so-called Soviets like high and low combinations? It was purely afterwards. At that time, the General Administration of Armored Soldiers had no choice but to do so, but the final outcome was also very happy.
The T-72 tank is not the best, but it is the easiest to produce. Therefore, after reading a lot of inside information, Qin Zhenhua sincerely appreciates this tank, and to the tank designer named Kartsev,
I am quite impressed.
If you have the chance, you can sit with such a tank designer, and Qin Zhenhua is naturally quite willing.
However, the T-64 has not always been unreliable. The Soviets had enough time to improve. When it was improved to the T-80 tank, it finally matured.
The Soviet tank troops in the 1970s were really unhappy. The T-64 main battle tank was unconventional, and the NATO on the opposite side was scared every day. In fact, the reliability was poor and the number was limited. The T-72 main battle tank produced high, but its performance was
It was still a little bit different. After the main battle tanks of M1 and Leopard 2 came out, the Soviets' ground advantage had disappeared.
In this case, the Kirov factory in Leningrad finally took on the development of a new main battle tank after a long period of research and development. Under the leadership of the chief designer Popov, the Kirov factory was based on the
The latest tank development situation at that time, through independent development and technological innovation, finally installed a 1,000-horsepower gas turbine on the basis of the T-64 main battle tank and developed a high-level T-80 main battle tank.
This tank has a very powerful performance. After all, the T-80 tank is only 46 tons, and the acceleration of the gas turbine is quite rapid. This tank can reach an extreme speed of 82 kilometers per hour, becoming a real tunnel
The flying tanks on the road have amazed countless people.
It is absolutely good to use it to show off, but this pussy has not been pretending for long, and was beaten in the Chechen War. Of course, this is a story later.
Qin Zhenhua has seen the T-72 and has figured it out, but he has never been exposed to the T-80. It would be great if he had the opportunity to see the T-80 this time.
A has improved the T-72, which is also resurrected by the T-64, but these tanks have not fallen into the hands of the designers of the T-64A. The Molozov Design Bureau in Ukraine has developed the T-64A.
Afterwards, we continued to research and developed a 6TD engine that utilized 1,000 horsepower, and also used other new fire control systems to transform the T-64B tank.
Of course, I want to see this kind of tank, especially the unique horizontal opposing two-stroke engine.
It is not easy to make the diesel engine achieve a power of one thousand horsepower, especially if it is also important to pay attention to volume. Soviet tank designers have also taken a special path in this regard.
When it was still the 1950s, Soviet tank designers wanted to get small-volume and high-power density tank engines. Some designers began to use superchargers on V-2 series engines and obtained T-72 tanks.
Some of the 780 horsepower diesel engines have also begun to take a different approach and decided to use a two-stroke engine. After all, it will do work once when the engine rotates once, while the four-stroke requires two turns to do work once. Therefore, in theory, under the same displacement,
A two-stroke engine has twice the power of a four-stroke engine, but there is some waste in reality, which can reach about 1.7 times.
Using two-strokes alone cannot meet their requirements. In order to meet the limitations of length, width and height, they decided to adopt a small displacement design. The 5TD engine, the predecessor of the 6TD engine, had a displacement of only 13.5 liters, and it was only the V2 engine displacement.
One third of that, so the power is very low. In order to increase the power, they plan to increase the speed to three thousand rpm.
The Soviets had limited machining accuracy, and such a high speed would inevitably increase the engine's vibration, so they simply used horizontally opposed cylinders to offset the engine's unbalanced torque. Finally, this special engine was built.
Come out.
In order to meet the needs of the T-64B, they added one cylinder and turned it into a six cylinder structure, and improved the supercharger. While reducing the rotation speed to 2,600 rpm, the power increased to 1,000 horsepower.
It can be seen that in order to improve the tank power, the engineers took out all their energy.
Qin Zhenhua was also very interested in this special engine. Now, when Luo Ronggen talked about possible visits to the Soviet Union, Qin Zhenhua felt that his saliva was about to flow out and he wanted to visit all these factories. At this time, Qin Zhenhua was full of
