The long journey is tiring, but the time spent on overseas inspections is precious, and it will not give everyone more time to suffer from jet lag. After a night's rest, the next day, a group of inspection groups arrived at Leeds Royal Arsenal.
Generally speaking, when a group of foreign inspection groups arrive, they should first arrange to inspect the production line, get off the production line, and finally go to the shooting range. But now, the proud British people first come with the inspection group.
Arrived at the shooting range.
"This is to show their sense of superiority." Qin Zhenhua and Wang Erzhu were walking together, both at the back of the inspection group. After all, the front was where the big shots were. Now, while walking, Qin Zhenhua was talking to Wang Erzhu.
After all, Britain is an old military power. They have always been complacent about their modern military power. At least in front of their own side, they are quite arrogant. They seem to have forgotten that they defeated them on the battlefield of a certain country in the east.
The ground is full of teeth.
Now, they brought their own side to the shooting range. Of course, they wanted to show off their advanced tanks and let their own side see their modern tanks.
In fact, the British tanks went to the other extreme.
The three major indicators of a tank are mobility, firepower and protection. In domestic thinking, the first thing to pursue is firepower. If it cannot penetrate the enemy's armor, everything is in vain. On the premise of putting firepower first, it can take into account both mobility and protection, so that
If all of these are developed in a balanced manner, it will naturally be better.
However, the British are not the same. What the British value most is protection.
Just look at the tonnage of the tank. The tonnage of main battle tanks in the world now is about 40 tons. But what about the British? Their tanks are already more than 50 tons, close to 60 tons!
Because of its heavy weight, the engine and suspension system cannot keep up. Therefore, the maximum speed of their tanks is only over 30, which is not as fast as our own 59 tanks.
This is probably what people think, if you have good protection, you can save your life.
There are big figures on our side, so the other side who comes to receive them also has big figures. For example, right now, next to Minister Zhu and Commander Huang, the old general chatting and laughing is called Robert Hart, who is the deputy chief of staff of the other side's army.
, and, just when he was introduced, he said something with a smile.
"I fought with Hobert." When he said this, the aristocratic chief of staff in a suit and tie said with a smile while looking at the few people wearing berets around him.
The deputy showed off.
In the British army, this sentence represents glory, because Hobert was the most dazzling tank commander in World War II, as famous as Guderian.
Now, with a smile on his face, Robert introduced everyone as he walked. In his words, there was a unique British arrogance. Of course, this arrogance was not very prominent and was well concealed.
"Now, we mainly produce the Chifutan main battle tank. This tank is the best in the world." Following his introduction, a group of people came to the entrance of the shooting range. Here, a tall and powerful
The tank stopped quietly in front of everyone.
As a former armored soldier and now the deputy chief of staff of the Army, Robert attaches great importance to tanks, and now, he is not wrong to say that they are the best in the world.
"Our tank weighs 56 tons. The main armor sandwich in the front contains our newly developed Chobham armor." Robert said proudly: "Currently, there is no artillery in the world that can penetrate its front.
The main armor, especially the gun mantlet.”
After speaking, he pointed at the turret. You can see that the front of this turret is no longer in the shape of casting. The surface looks flat and is completely in the shape of welded armor.
Speaking of Chobham armor, it is enough to make the British proud. In the development of tanks, the performance of tank guns is getting stronger and stronger, and it can easily penetrate 300 mm of homogeneous steel, or even deeper. However, armor technology has
If the front of the turret is 200 mm thick, the weight of the entire tank will soar to fifty or sixty tons.
Therefore, this once caused a huge headache for the engineers who developed tank armor. Until a British armor research institute in the small town of Chobham developed this kind of armor that uses ceramics as protective materials, which suddenly greatly increased the protective capabilities.
!
This kind of armor was named Chobham Armor.
They not only use this kind of armor on their latest tanks, but also add this kind of armor on the modification of this main force Chifutan, which greatly improves the tank's protective performance.
Everyone looked over, admiring the welded turret.
The cast turret has a smooth shape and can form a perfect bulletproof slope. However, the cast turret cannot be installed into the composite armor sandwich. Therefore, the development trend of the world's tanks has begun to favor welded turrets.
As for the turret in front of him, Qin Zhenhua looked through countless heads and continued: "This is not newly developed at all. It is just an extra protective layer added to the original cast turret. Well, maybe
You can call it a bra."
Bra? Wang Erzhu felt embarrassed when he heard that, Brother Zhenhua, we have such a rare opportunity, are you here to make a joke?
Although we are using Chinese, there must be translators nearby. Isn’t it good for us to cause trouble like this?
At this time, the previous introduction was still continuing. Robert pointed to the thick and long tank gun in front of the turret and said: "Look here, everyone. Our L11 tank gun has a caliber of 120 mm. It is the most powerful in the world."
A big tank gun! It can penetrate the main armor of any enemy tank at a long distance!"
The equipment of the British is also very interesting. They developed the L7 105mm tank gun, which became the standard tank gun of NATO and is used on tanks of many countries. However, in addition to modifying their own Centurions after World War II, they
Except for long tanks, they are not used in their new tanks.
Their Chivoltan uses a 120mm tank gun. The larger the caliber, the more powerful the tank gun is! The performance of this tank gun is definitely higher than that of the L7.
Now, he is standing next to this tank, pointing at the gun barrel, looking majestic. This gun has a caliber of 55 times, so it naturally looks thicker.
At this time, Robert unnaturally showed arrogance. His arrogance was justified. This is the foundation of the old empire. Envy, right?
At this time, most people were sighing for the opponent's advanced technology. Yes, Chobham armor is the best tank armor in the world, and this 120mm rifled gun is definitely the most powerful in the world.
of!
Just when everyone was sighing, a voice came from behind, and it was standard and fluent English.
"Set your own spear against your own shield, which will win?" (Set your own spear against your own shield, which will win?)
