Conspiracy? What else is hidden in this kind of conspiracy?
Everyone looked over and found that the person who spoke was the military representative Luo Ronggen. Now, Luo Ronggen is old, and even the white hair begins to appear on his forehead. He looked at everyone's eyes and said, "Suppose the Soviets knew that we had obtained this one."
Tanks, then, they deliberately took out this super-level armor-piercing bomb, just to use this method to disrupt our military research and development?"
Luo Ronggen came step by step from that era, so it is understandable that his perspective on the problem was a bit different and it is understandable.
"Uncle Luo, your idea is supported by evidence. For example, the reason for liquid sintering technology may make it impossible for the Soviets to produce on a large scale. However, after all, the Soviets have mastered this technology.
"Qin Zhenhua said.
Take tungsten bombs first. The Soviets' armor-piercing depth has not been broken through for a long time, but they have not mastered this liquid phase sintering technology. It comes from the MBT-70 project developed by the United States and Germany at that time, combining tungsten powder, iron powder, nickel powder, etc.
The metal powder is mixed in proportion, pressed into a rod and then heated to high temperature. The iron and nickel are melted first to fill the gap between the tungsten particles. After the tungsten reaches the semi-melting state, it will form a solid matrix structure with liquid iron, nickel, etc., so as to make it
The strength and toughness of the tungsten-based alloy core produced are much higher than that of the traditional tungsten carbide alloy core.
The first finished product of this liquid phase sintering technology is M111. This shell can penetrate T-72 within two thousand meters, which surprised the Soviet Union. The reaction of the Soviets at that time should be the same as that of Zhu Lao.
What you think in your heart is the same.
However, the Soviet Union did not immediately develop the same technology, for many reasons. The Soviet Union's material technology and metal forging technology lag behind the United States. Therefore, the Soviet Union often increased the performance of tank guns by expanding its caliber, which was not the case for ammunition development.
What a concern.
Moreover, the most important thing is that this liquid phase sintering technology requires a lot of materials and the production time is very long. If you give an example, the comprehensive cost of a M111 is enough to produce five 3BM22s, even if the Soviet Union has invested a lot in national defense.
Gao, he cannot fully equip his tanks with such shells. NATO has only more than 8,000 tanks, while the Soviet Union has more than 20,000, and half of them carry 125mm cannon barrels.
Therefore, if we talk about tungsten bombs, the Soviets had this concern. Even if they developed the advanced 3BM42 armor-piercing bombs, they would not be able to fully replace the troops. It is possible that they knew that these two T-80s were sent to the Eastern Powers.
So I just went with the flow and let the Eastern powers know how powerful the Soviet tanks were, so that they could shake the tigers across the mountains.
If only tungsten bombs make sense, but they still have depleted uranium bombs! That thing is the biggest threat to our side. The penetration depth has reached 560 mm. If it continues to develop, our side's tanks can be penetrated
It's right.
On the other hand, even if the Soviets really did not have a large amount of equipment due to cost and lifespan issues, it also means that the Soviets already had this technology, and the Soviets might mass-produce these weapons at any time. If it is really
When a war breaks out, who cares about the cost issue?

What Qin Zhenhua said is already very obvious. Even if it is a conspiracy, we have to take it seriously!
"For our country and for our army." Zhu Lao said again: "I decided to increase the protection indicators of our tanks from 600 mm to 700 mm. Our third generation tanks will be pushed back and started again.
”
Finally, Mr. Zhu said this.
"No, Lao Zhu, you have to think twice." After hearing Mr Zhu's words, even Luo Ronggen, who has always been steady, spoke up and dissuaded: "At present, the country has not proposed to improve indicators. If you improve indicators by yourself, that will affect you
You have to memorize the progress and increase your investment. Moreover, once the progress is affected, it is very likely that the entire project will face the risk of premature death."
Generally speaking, the state and the army propose indicators and hand them over to the design unit. The design unit only thinks that the indicators are too high and cannot be achieved easily. How can it be like this now? It is proactively demanding to improve the indicators!
This improves the indicators, and the responsibility is for Mr. Zhu. From 600 mm to 700 mm, it is not that easy! It is simply a redesign. In this way, can the progress keep up?
Due to Western problems, the transmission system has to be remanufactured and has to be re-tested, which will take a long time to delay. If Mr. Zhu re-engineered it, how long will it take?
In China, it is common for the failure of R&D due to too much delay in the project. Third-generation tanks are projects urgently needed by the army. At this time, we should seize the time and set the shape first.
Mr. Zhu wants to start over?
Even the rigorous Luo Ronggen would not agree with it, it would be too risky.
"Yes, Lao Luo, what you said is right, but if we give up improving performance for these problems and hand over the tanks with insufficient performance to the army, we really go to the battlefield, then we,
It is the sinner of the country and the army." Zhu Lao said: "If our third generation tanks cannot open a big enough gap between the 88 tanks and cannot give the troops enough confidence when facing the strongest opponents, then what we have developed
What is the meaning?”
The 88 tank is a tank developed for the domestic army and has been gradually improved by the first-machine factory. The performance of this tank has become one of the top ranks. The third-generation tank must be one level higher than the 88 tank.
The 88 tank cannot stop the most advanced armor-piercing bombs in the Soviet Union, but the third-generation tank must be blocked. Since the performance has been discovered and if it is not adjusted now, it is a real waste of national funds!
"Of course, I won't make decisions on this matter myself. I will ask my superiors for instructions." Mr. Zhu said.
This is completely thankless, and even digging a hole for himself. However, Mr. Zhu has made up his mind that in his heart, personal honor and disgrace are secondary. Only national interests and military interests are
First place.
"Old Zhu." At this moment, Qin Zhenhua thought of something and said to Old Zhu: "We are still developing new reactive armor. When our new reactive armor gradually matures, add this layer of additional armor.
Can you meet the metrics you want?"
The protection we are talking about now does not count as the external reaction armor. Then, wouldn’t it be enough to hang another layer? In this way, there is no need to change the existing plan.
"Reaction armor?" A glimmer of hope flashed in Zhu Lao's eyes: "Plus with the reaction armor, the protection of our tank must reach one meter."
