"If the protection is increased, I suggest that the weight of these two tons be reserved to prepare for the explosion reaction armor." Qin Zhenhua said.
In the original design, the Khalid tank's weight was 48 tons. Now, it has been reduced to 46 tons, which can save two tons of weight. If you increase protection, just put it on the explosion reaction armor.
This is the easiest and the most troublesome.
"Explosion reaction armor?" Hearing Qin Zhenhua's words, Berg asked seriously: "How far has your explosion reaction armor been progressing?"
They are not unfamiliar with explosive reaction armor. After all, the tanks of the Soviet era were all covered with explosive reaction armor. The T-80UD tanks they imported from Ermao were also covered with explosive reaction armor.
Now, the weight of two tons is reserved, and it can be installed at any time when you need to increase protection in the future. It sounds like a good idea, but that also has a prerequisite. It is necessary to make sure that the explosive reaction armor performance is good enough.
Only then can it be used on their Khalid tanks. This is different from the addition of explosive reaction armor when the 59 tank was improved. It is a rear-mounted equipment. Now, in the beginning of research and development, explosive reaction armor was used as a means of protection, which seems to be somewhat
insufficient.
"At present, we are developing a new type of explosion reaction armor. Its biggest feature is that even if it is a distance of 0.5 centimeters, it will not affect the explosion reaction armor next to it." Qin Zhenhua said.
The research on armor has always been carried out in secret. There are special departments in China. After researching it, it can be applied to the main battle tank. Just like the third generation tank, the special alloy steel used is what they do. Now,
The explosion reaction armor was also done by them.
The first to use explosion reaction armor was Israel, and the most used was the Soviet Union. The tanks worn with explosion reaction armor looked majestic, but in fact, there were many problems. One of the most important problems was the two explosions.
If the gap between the reaction armor is shot in from this gap by the enemy's armor-piercing bomb, the explosion reaction armor will be invalid.
Why can't we arrange it closely? Is it because it is inconvenient to screw screws?
Of course not.
The most important issue is the basic problem at the beginning of the explosion reaction armor. It must be blunt enough. Machine gun bullets, explosion fragments, and air waves cannot detonate it. Only the armor-piercing and armor-piercing bombs that it really needs to intercept come.
It can only detonate when it is .
At the same time, when it detonates its weapons to fight against the enemy, it cannot implicate other explosion reaction armor modules. Otherwise, an explosion will form a chain effect, just like setting off firecrackers, and they will all explode.
, that would be miserable.
There should be enough space between the two pieces of explosion reaction armor to avoid being detonated by adjacent armor and forming a chain reaction. But now, what does Qin Zhenhua say? Even if the distance is 0.5 centimeters, it will not affect it!
This means that this kind of explosion-reactive armor can be arranged closely like normal armor, one by one, leaving no gaps. In this way, when the enemy's armor-piercing bombs and armor-piercing bombs come over
, you can resist 100%.
This is an innovation!
However, Qin Zhenhua said it very clearly, it is under development!
"How long will it take for this kind of explosive reaction armor to be mass-produced?" Berg asked.
"We don't know this either." Qin Zhenhua said: "Maybe one or two years, maybe three or five years, after all, this thing cannot be said to be a definite time, but as far as our initial original indicators are concerned, it is enough
You should be clear about this point, right? So, the tanks we produce now can not be worn with explosion reaction armor, but only leave a margin. After that, the situation changes and the threat increases, and it will not be worn again.
Late, this will also reduce the cost of equipment, what do you think?"
Now, the Khalid tank's indicators are enough to deal with various threats. Qin Zhenhua said something. As Lao Ba received the T-80UD tank, he also knew the reality of the Russian 125mm tank gun.
As the performance is, we can also know the level of the T-72 tank of the third brother on the opposite side, so don’t be afraid, they are also strong outside and do the middle.
Hearing Qin Zhenhua's words, Berg nodded: "That's right, you're right, we can wait, just follow what you said."
There is no problem with Berg's decision on this kind of thing. After all, this is quite a gift, and the function of giving is also a picky choice.
Now, since Qin Zhenhua mentioned the issue of firepower, Berg would not hide it and said to Qin Zhenhua: "You have said a lot, the Russian 125mm tank gun is very big as we imagined.
We are very dissatisfied with its armor-piercing bombs. We hope that you can develop more advanced armor-piercing bombs for us."
Hearing this, Qin Zhenhua shook his head: "I'm sorry, this is impossible."
After testing, Lao Ba finally realized that although they were all 125 mm caliber, the Russians' tank barrel was low and their performance was poor, and they were incomparable to the tank guns of the Eastern powers. There was no way, the Russians were walking.
It is a route that facilitates mass production, and there is no plan to create high-quality products at all.
The power of the tank guns of the Eastern Power exceeds more than 20% of the Russians. This is also the reason why Parker was sent to install the tank guns of the Eastern Power. Of course, Lao Ba also attaches great importance to the firepower of the tank guns the most.
It's right.
However, the Eastern powers do not agree. Now, why do you still disagree?
Could it be that you were robbed of your business? Can we pay?
"Although they are all 125mm tank guns, our medicine room is larger, so the launching medicine is not universal." Qin Zhenhua explained: "We don't have the test data of the Russian 125mm tank gun, so we
There is no way to provide any improved data, so we can't help."
After hearing Qin Zhenhua's words, the Ba people present were a little frustrated. They did have this idea when they came here this time. They wanted to use the technology of the Eastern power to improve the performance of Ermao's T-80UD tank gun. I don't know if it is reported.
It won't make Ermao feel ashamed.
However, Qin Zhenhua disagrees. Moreover, the reasons he said are irrefutable.
Although the caliber is the same, the medicine room is different. The performance data of the Russian tank guns are not known by the Eastern powers. If it is improved casually, the reduction of the life of the artillery is secondary, and the explosion of the chamber is the most terrifying.
125mm cannon, one less is used, and Qin Zhenhua won’t wade into this muddy water.
