"If we are ourselves, we can prepare. At present, there is no problem in our bench test drive. However, the first tank of the third generation tank has not been offline yet, so if it is installed on the tank, what is going on? We have not yet
Completely sure." Wu Ruihua said: "I'm afraid I'll smash our brand if I use it rashly."
This is also an aspect that Wu Ruihua is worried about. If you export, you must make mature models. If you are immature, you will always fail. You are afraid that you will smash the brand and you will not be able to sell it in the future.
Since last year, the third generation of tanks have been tested, but this is not like the previous prototype car, and it can be built soon.
Not to mention, the third-generation tank uses the latest domestic armored steel. The welding of this armored steel is a difficult task, so it took a long time to weld the vehicle body just, and then, the tank
It also takes a long time to assemble various parts. After all, there are some parts that are not in place yet. For example, the diesel engine equipped with the third-generation tank must be from the first machine factory, but the gearbox equipped with the supporting gearbox is
It is planned to adopt the LSG3000 transmission system imported from a German company. Since it is to be used as the power system of a third-generation tank, it must be domestically produced. Therefore, the relevant negotiations took a long time. Now, the sample is still in the stage of introducing.
It is expected that after returning to China this time, the third generation of tanks will be able to be assembled? However, after assembly, try again? It is estimated that it will take a long time. The engine is in the same situation on the test bench? When it comes to the tank, it is another situation? Even if it is
It is a mature 1,000-horsepower diesel engine. This 1,200-horsepower diesel engine that continues to squeeze power is destined to not be smooth sailing.
So, what Wu Ruihua said was very subtle? Use it? I was afraid of smashing our brand. This was actually Qin Zhenhua's consideration. Now I have received a positive answer from Wu Ruihua, so I will not mention it again.
"This new type of tank is in our country? Do you have to have a code name?" Wang Erzhu suddenly asked.
Lao Ba is called Khalid tank, so what about us? Our country? It can’t be called Khalid.
"We are named in China by the year number? Although this year is 8*9, but the prototype car is built? It will be the end of the year? So, I think we should just call this tank the Type 90." Qin Zhenhua
He said: "Let's drive this tank and run to the 1990s."
Domestic tank numbers have experienced Type 80, Type 85, and Type 88. Now, it is time to go further, called Type 90 tank.
The only drawback is that if the naming is like this, it coincides with the naming of the tanks of the eastern island countries. However, each of them does their own, and our own internal code has nothing to do with others.
The discussion was made, and the next day, according to the plan, we went to Laoba’s tank factory.
Qin Zhenhua has been here more than once. After all, this place was originally a major tank repair factory for 69 tanks built by the Eastern Power. All the designs in the factory are based on the domestic ones. If an old worker comes in, it will be
It’s hard to tell whether it’s in Lao Ba or in China.
This tank factory used to overhaul the 69 tank, and later produced the 69 tank. Now, it has started to produce the 85 tank. Of course, the task of producing the Khalid tank will definitely be in this factory.
It is said that there will not be too many changes in the visit, but when Qin Zhenhua and his group came in, they were questioned by an uninvited guest.
"I heard that yesterday, you planned to use MTU's 396 diesel engine to equip our Khalid tank?" Just next to the director of the tank factory, Hata Al Parker, an important military named Kalamat
The character said, with doubt in his tone.
"Yes, we are very confident that in addition to the power indicators that can meet your needs, this diesel engine has a long life span. The fault-free interval can be as long as thousands of hours, and the overhaul period can even be amplified to 20,000 hours.
Above, this diesel engine can almost have the same lifespan as a tank." Qin Zhenhua said to the other party.
"But, as a diesel engine for tanks, it is simply unqualified." The other party said: "It's really unreliable to hand over our Khalid tank project to you."
Hearing this, Qin Zhenhua smiled helplessly. We originally planned to use our own 1,000-horsepower diesel engine, but the problem is that you don’t like it!
You have to ask for a diesel engine of 1,200 horsepower, what can we do?
The inside of Lao Ba is not a monolithic. Qin Zhenhua knows that although they have a good relationship with the Eastern Power, the Khalid tank project has always been questioning since it was proposed. However, Beg and Sharif have also been
There were support from factory director Parker and others, and there were also voices of opposition, and Kalamat in front of him was the opponent.
The project has been advanced and they have begun to allocate funds to build prototype vehicles. At this time, Kalamat naturally knew that he was unable to stop it, but after researching the plan, he still raised his own doubts.
If the Eastern power can produce advanced equipment like the M1 tank, and at the same time, the price can be reduced to one million, Kalamat will certainly not object, but that is simply impossible. I want to make a horse
It is impossible for me to run away and don’t want the horse to eat grass. Now, the other party questioned the plan for the MTU396 diesel engine, so Qin Zhenhua analyzed the factors.
"This is just one of our suggestions. Considering factors such as your expected cost, if you do not consider the cost, you can also purchase Western engines." Qin Zhenhua said: "We have multiple plans here, such as
, using the British CV12 diesel engine and the French diesel engine, but in that case, your cost requirements will definitely not be met. I estimate that the other party may ask for more than 800,000 yuan for the diesel engine alone, and the other party will not
Those who are willing to export production lines, even if they are overhaul lines, they cannot be exported. Of course, you can also talk to the British. If the agreement can be completed, we will also agree with it."
Qin Zhenhua would not ridicule the other party. After all, he knew that the other party was considering the issue from the perspective of the interests of the country and the army. It was just that the position was different, and the ultimate goal was the same.
Is this project beneficial to Lao Ba or a waste of money and a ultimate failed project?
"If you cannot solve these problems, I believe that although our 396 diesel engine is larger, it is mature and reliable. Moreover, we can produce it in our own country. In the future, no matter whether it is a production line or a major repair line, it can be used.
Your output is, so what do you think?"
(When searching for information, there was really such an article in the academic journal paper in 1989: the structural design characteristics of the MTU396 series diesel engine and its overall layout plan in the main battle tank. The Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering and Electrical Engineering Department is very much in need of a product.
Tanks are really not something that can be accomplished by a few people, dozens of people, and countless people’s hard work and hard work.)
