Over the years, the second machine factory has been working on 125mm tank guns and constantly improving the process. Now, you only need to use the mature 125mm tank gun technology and use the 105mm tank gun to increase 105mm tank guns.
tank gun performance.
The armor-piercing ability is definitely not as high as a 125mm tank gun, but compared with the existing 105mm tank gun, the performance can definitely be greatly improved! The armor-piercing ability of 600mm was in the past
, it's hard to imagine, but now, they have a certain degree of confidence.
"Director Qin, we guarantee to complete the task, but I think the technology we are developing to reduce recoil can also be used. This will also be beneficial for our new tank." Nie Jianqiang continued.
The lower the recoil of the tank gun, it means that the less vibration of the tank itself will be when it is launched, which is also very beneficial for accurately hitting the target. Since these technologies have been developed, you can use it.
Get on.
Qin Zhenhua nodded: "Of course, in short, no matter whether you continue to lengthen the barrel or increase the chamber pressure, as long as you can achieve the goal. I am relieved to hand this task over to our Second Machine Factory."
Nie Jianqiang was very happy that it was not easy to gain Qin Zhenhua's recognition. What did he think of and continued: "So, should our tanks use automatic loaders?"
After going to the plateau, the power of the tank will decrease, and people will also have altitude sickness. Ordinary people will have to move softer when going to the plateau. Otherwise, they will easily have altitude sickness. In the tank, loading hands are a big need.
Positions with labor intensity may not be much on the plains, but when you go to the plateau, it may affect the performance of combat effectiveness.
Hearing Nie Jianqiang's words, Qin Zhenhua nodded: "Yes, we plan to use automatic loading machines, but you also know that our mature automatic loading machines are in the form of a turntable and suitable for disassembled ammunition, but,
Our 105mm tank gun is equipped with a complete set."
Back then, when developing the third generation of tanks, the automatic loader was also a difficult problem that must be overcome. After repeated efforts, the first machine factory finally copied the automatic loader of the T-72 tank, and it was more efficient.
It is better to have a reliable and has now become a must for main battle tanks. However, the shells of the 125mm tank gun are packaged separately, and the warheads and launchers are loaded separately, so they can be installed in the tank in the form of a turntable.
Under the turret, however, the 105mm shell is integrated, so this solution cannot be used.
"This is easy to say, you can use the tail cabin to load ammunition." Nie Jianqiang said: "We have rich experience in the tail cabin to load ammunition. The task of developing this automatic loader can be handed over to us."
The second machine factory not only made artillery, but also once made self-propelled artillery. The PLZ45 has become a hot commodity in the international market. This self-propelled artillery uses a similar tail cabin loading solution.
Although it is semi-automatic loading, it is similar.
"Closing the tail cabin?" Qin Zhenhua was a little fresh.
The tanks of the Eastern Power use a turntable automatic loader, which allows the tanks of the Eastern Power to have a very small turret, which significantly reduces the area of the tanks. In contrast, the West adopts The tail cabin loading scheme is set up at the tail of the turret, and the shells can be stuffed into one by one. Generally speaking, half of the ammunition of the tank is stored in the tail cabin, so it doesn't matter. Should I set up a human loading machine or an automatic loading machine? In short, it is very convenient to get ammunition and load ammunition. When replenishing supplies, I can also stuff it directly from the back.
At the same time, the tail cabin can balance the weight of the gun barrel, and can set up special pressure relief plates to prevent ammunition from exploding, etc. Therefore, in the West, this layout is very popular.
Although Americans do not use automatic loading machines very much, in fact, Americans have been studying automatic loading machines for a long time. During World War II, they already had prototypes, but they had uncle black, so they didn't use them much.
Now, the Eastern powers are about to develop new tanks. In order to go to the plateau, many improvements have been made. The engines need to be redeveloped, tank guns need to be improved. At the same time, some improvements are needed for automatic loading machines.
"Yes, tail cabin loading." Nie Jianqiang said: "In addition to this method, can you think of a better solution?"
Nie Jianqiang asked this question, and Qin Zhenhua finally nodded: "Okay, then this automatic loader will be left to you to develop. I hope you can learn from the design characteristics of the Western automatic loader, learn from everyone's strengths, and develop our own advanced ones. Automatic loader must ensure reliability and speed, and in short, it must be strong in all aspects."
"Okay." Nie Jianqiang agreed.
The modern Western automatic loader should have started with the MBT-70 tank. At that time, this tank jointly developed by the United States and Germany used a large number of advanced technologies, including the turret tail cabin automatic loader, which The belt-type bullet bay is driven by a chain. When the magazine moves to the pushing line, the magazine sleeve extends forward, and the chain pushing machine completes the pushing of the bullet. Later, because this project ended in failure, this automatic loading The aircraft failed to serve in the US military. However, it deeply influenced the later products. The French Leclerc tank was the first tank in the West to be in service with automatic loading machines. This automatic loading machine, structure and MBT -70 is similar, and the Korean tank is a counterfeit of French tank automatic loaders. As for the Japanese Type 90 tank, it has been improved and the structure is simpler.
These mature Western automatic loaders for tail cabin loading can be used to study them. Although the core secrets are not given, the principle of this automatic loading machine has long been no secret. There are many information All.
In this way, the project of the new plateau tank has been further promoted. The emergence of this automatic loader will also make up for many gaps in the country. Qin Zhenhua let out a long breath, and before he could realize that he had entered the tank The role of chief designer is as the design engineer. Although this new plateau tank has not designated a specific person in charge, Qin Zhenhua is responsible for the entire project. Moreover, he is also relying on his passion to continue to promote it. Now, it is implemented bit by bit. This process is very slow and steadily.
