Although it is 1,200 horsepower, Ermao's engine takes the two-stroke horizontally opposed piston route. Among the tank engines in the world, this design makes Ermao's engine
When power is required, the volume is greatly reduced, but at the same time, it still has many side effects.
The first is its torque problem. It adopts a high-speed design. Although it achieves the output of horsepower, due to design defects, its torque is not large. Even if it is an engine with a torque of 1,200 horsepower, it has the torque.
It is only 3,200 Nm, and this data is just the torque output of the 840-horsepower diesel engine used on the T-72 tank.
Torque reflects the speed increase ability, so the speed increase ability of the T-80UD tank is not good at all, and its reliability is not high.
The tank engines of the Eastern Powers are only 2,200 rpm, and at most they are amplified to 2,400 rpm. However, the tank engines of Ermao are 2,800 rpm. The higher the speed, the more severe the wear.
It's all a problem that everyone knows.
Ermao's engine is known for 1,200 horsepower, but its performance is not good at all. If you want to say that the only thing that makes people think is that there are two small points, it is that it has only six cylinders, and it is still placed horizontally.
So, the volume is quite compact.
Now, Ermao was fooled and directly set up a tank engine overhaul. If you don’t keep your teeth and walk on, your previous investment will be wasted.
After hearing Major General Parker's words, Qin Zhenhua shook his head helplessly, "Okay, you are really cheated, I personally express my sympathy."
Parker looked at Qin Zhenhua's eyes and finally made up his mind and continued: "If, if our cooperation on tank guns goes smoothly, then we have the idea of restoring our long-severed Khalid tank project.
,We decided to install the 6TD-2 engine and supporting transmission system used by the T-80UD tank on our Khalid tank, which will solve the power problem of the Khalid tank and also facilitate our logistics.
Guarantee, kill multiple birds with one stone.”
The reason why Khalid tanks stagnated was because they did not have qualified engines. Now, with Lao Ba introducing the T-80UD tank, it was suddenly discovered that Khalid tanks also ushered in a turnaround, which was completely possible to bring T.
- The 6TD-2 diesel engine used on the 80UD was installed on the Khalid tank, which solved the problem that plagued the Khalid tank for many years.
In this way, the Khalid tank project can also be carried out. The Eastern Power has also invested a lot of energy in this project, and will not watch the project eventually become abandoned.
Now, isn’t it a bit shameless to use this Khalid tank project to ask the first machine factory to cooperate with the tank gun? Director Parker felt a little embarrassed, but if the Eastern powers cannot provide help, then do some benefits
There is no problem with the exchange.
After hearing Parker's words, Qin Zhenhua had almost no hesitation, and Yun Danfengqing said: "Of course we hope that the Khalid tank project can continue. At the beginning, our first-machine factory was quite optimistic about using Ermao's 6TD-2 engine to match it.
But I didn’t expect so many twists and turns in the middle.”
Parker's face turned red when he said this.
At the beginning, if there was no one-machine factory, then Ba Guo would not have contacted Ermao at all, nor would he eventually purchase Ermao's T-80UD engine under Ermao's trick, and then was cheated by Ermao.
Now? Qin Zhenhua told the whole story about the cause and effect of this matter, how could he not be ashamed?
It is indeed a bit unfavorable for Lao Ba, but that was not decided by Parker. As for Parker, he certainly hopes to maintain good relations with the Eastern powers.
However, there was no anger in Qin Zhenhua's tone, just like saying something. After Qin Zhenhua finished speaking, he sighed: "Khalid tank, with the hard work of our first-machine factory, of course we
I hope it can continue to develop, but even if it is an engine without Ermao, our 90 tank has a backup tank engine to use, so we will not do any exchange of interests."
Qin Zhenhua has already made it clear that the Eastern Power's own 1,200-horsepower diesel engine is about to mature. In this case, there is no need for the Eastern Power to compromise for Ermao's engine. The Eastern Power already has its own reserves.
.
Without Ermao, our side can improve the 90 tank. If we want to replace the Khalid tank in Pakistan, if we want to replace it with the 6TD-2 diesel engine, we will cooperate. But we have to make concessions. Hahaha, we don’t have that one.
necessary.
At this time, Qin Zhenhua's heart was as good as Mingjing.
Lao Ba has no choice. He doesn’t want to eat the good horses, so he has to eat them now.
They were pitted by Ermao. The T-80UD tank was not available for stock for a long time. They couldn't wait, so they could only pick up the Khalid tank. After all, this tank has been perfected, and the power system is not enough.
It’s not a big deal that the machine factory said it was good at the beginning, with the power system, the Oriental Powers were responsible for testing, and Lao Ba was responsible for commercial negotiations, but they themselves dragged the project down and forced it to ruin.
Now, they have purchased the T-80UD and are planning to use the engines on it to match Khalid tanks. After all, there are a lot of other parts in the tank factory in Kharkov, but the diesel engines are theirs. They are alone.
There is no problem selling engines.
Ermao sells engines and installs them on Khalid tanks, so that Khalid tanks can be put into service immediately, which is good for Lao Ba. Lao Ba wants to use this for exchange of interests and let the Eastern powers provide them with tank guns.
, and other parts, that is impossible.
We were kind and righteous at the beginning, and reminded us of everything we should remind us. You just didn’t listen. Now you are suffering. You know who is sincere to you and who is truly capable?
Hearing Qin Zhenhua's words, Director Parker's face turned pale. So far, he had completely understood that all his goals could not be achieved when he came to visit this time, even if he was to throw out the resurrection of Khalid tank.
The plan comes, and the first machine factory cannot compromise. It seems that the last incident was to offend the first machine factory thoroughly.
In international weapons procurement, political influence must be taken into account. Lao Pa thought they had considered it clearly, but unexpectedly, they ignored a lot of things. In the end, only the Eastern powers could be reliable.
