I heard that I wanted to use MTU396 diesel engine to match it. Karamat was quite dissatisfied. He had already doubts about the Khalid tank project. After knowing the power system, he became even more annoyed, such diesel engine.
It's too big, and there is no problem with using railway locomotives, ships, submarines, etc., but it needs to be used on tanks. Is that appropriate?
So, when he came to the tank factory today, he wanted to question the other party about this question. Unexpectedly, the answer given by the other party made him answer it in a short time.
Why are there a large number of people in the military supporting the Khalid tank project? It is because they don’t have much money!
Look at the Indians on the other side, they introduced the T-72, developed the Arjun tanks themselves, and a large number of British chief tanks. Where is their confidence? They have sufficient funds.
Lao Ba doesn't have such a wealthy pocket, and he has to do anything.
They have a good relationship with the West. In theory, wouldn’t it be better to directly purchase a Leopard-2 tank or an M1 tank? The problem is that the price of that kind of tank is too high and they can’t afford it. Even if there is US military aid,
They also have to spend money on the edge and give priority to using this batch of military aid funds to solve the problems of the navy and the air force. The army still has to endure it.
They purchased 85 tanks because the 85 tanks are cheap and have their performances that meet their needs. They can also produce them on their own production lines. Therefore, although they are not the most advanced, they are the most suitable for them.
Based on the 85 tank, they tried to achieve the level of third-generation tanks through limited improvements. They had high requirements, but the investment was limited. Looking around the world, who else can meet their needs except the Eastern powers?
No one can do it. If you change to any country, you won’t take on such a job at all. If you want to take over, the price will be high. The unit price is controlled at around one million. Needless to say, you can produce advanced third-generation tanks? Upgrade them.
The 59 tank that is behind can spend all the money.
The expression in front of Kalamat's eyes was a little dim. Later, he said, "But? I still firmly believe that the engine is not suitable for tank use. Even if you use that engine for cost reasons, the military will not
Will be satisfied.”
Lao Ba's military requirements are still very strict? After all, this is not the era of military aid in the past? They spent money to buy equipment, and the money was used on the edge, so it is not only cheap, but also good quality?
The army would not accept that kind of engine.
Qin Zhenhua frowned when he heard this. Thinking about the time he was selling various weapons, Lao Ba repeatedly compared and studied it repeatedly. After thinking about it for a lot of time, he finally made up his mind to purchase it. It was related to their army.
In terms of the equipment of important third-generation tanks, can such a big engine bay meet Lao Ba’s requirements?
It's hard to say.
Because of this episode and subsequent investigation, Qin Zhenhua became depressed.
There is nothing we can do about it. After all, the domestic tank and diesel engine level is just like that. It cannot be achieved overnight. It can only be developed step by step, but Lao Ba can't wait.
After inspecting the production line, how to improve and produce Khalid tanks in the future, and then studied it again. The group finally embarked on the road to go back. On the day they left, Lao Ba announced this to the whole world.
information.
"We will produce a main battle tank called Khalid in our own Taksila heavy manufacturing plant. This tank was jointly developed with the Eastern powers. We believe that it will become our future
The Army's main combat weapon will have nearly 50 tons of combat weight, 1,200 horsepower diesel engine and 125mm caliber artillery. The performance of the entire tank will far exceed that of the T-72 series tanks. We believe
, this tank will definitely be among the top three in the world tank rankings."
The 85 tanks of the Oriental Power are ranked third, and the performance of this tank is definitely stronger than that of the 85 tanks, so it is definitely worth entering the top three.
When they say this, the meaning of contempt is clearly expressed.
They have always been hostile to the opposite India. The Indians are most proud of is the T-72 tank. They have introduced production lines and produced them independently in their country. As for the Arjun tank, they also boasted about it.
Very amazing.
Lao Ba has been patient and frustrated for a long time. Now, everything is finally on the right track. Of course, we can announce it to the whole world, especially to the opposite side. We have the top three tanks in the world, your tanks, no! Update the most
Fast mobile::
After the news spread, it immediately caused a sensation in the military industry.
In recent years, the 85 tanks of the Eastern Power have been very famous, especially in the shooting performance a few months ago. The 500 mm depth is real. I don’t know how many people have shocked. This kind of firepower is simply a reversal.
Oh my God.
Now, the Eastern powers are not only going to independently develop, but have even begun to provide technical support to help other countries develop tanks. This is rare in the military industry.
So, when Qin Zhenhua got off the plane, he suddenly found that he was surrounded by a group of reporters. Those people should have received the news from Lao Ba. He knew that the group had taken this flight back to China, so he came to block him.
Facing the enthusiastic reporter, Qin Zhenhua knew that he had to make an announcement openly.
"After years of development, our first-machine factory has become a world-renowned first-class army ground weapons manufacturer." Qin Zhenhua looked at the enthusiastic reporters and said to them: "We are currently preparing to develop a codename 90
This type of main battle tank is specially developed for foreign users.”
This sentence has been made very clear. The Type 90 main battle tank we developed is the Old Bad Khalid main battle tank.
"You plan to use a diesel engine with a capacity of 1,200 horsepower on this tank? We are curious, where does you have such technology? As far as we know, your engine with the largest power is only 1,000 horsepower.
.” asked a reporter.
This is obviously trying to dig into the inside story.
"We ourselves have relevant technologies." Qin Zhenhua said: "Since we can already produce diesel engines of 1,000 horsepower, why can't we produce diesel engines of 1,200 horsepower?"
"How is that possible? There are not many countries in the world who can develop such engines, no more than five!" someone shouted below.
"How many diesel engines can be developed in the world with a total of 1,000 horsepower?" Qin Zhenhua asked back, "Is there ten?"
