"About our new tank, each subsystem has been almost developed, so our meeting mainly discusses the trial production of the new plateau tank." On this day, Qin Zhenhua once again presided over the factory affairs of the first machine factory
Yes, and there are comrades from the Tank Design Institute to participate, and the trial production of this plateau tank is about to be on the right track.
The research and development of a tank has to go through a long way. Through the research and development of Type 99 tanks in China, it has already reached the world-class level. Moreover, because the development of foreign tank technology is slow, the domestic 99 tanks are only constantly
Among the improvements, no next-generation model was developed, but only the technology of the 99 tank was improved. Now, the new tank project is this plateau tank. This is a new challenge for the domestic tank industry.
It's right.
This plateau tank does not require very advanced performance. It is unrealistic to make it fight against the current top-notch tanks in the world. Its potential enemy is just the enemy on the southern border, as long as it is stronger than the opponent's tanks.
That's fine.
"First of all, in terms of engines, our brothers have begun to test the new engine ignition. We believe that this engine will also become the main power of our plateau tank. The engine is the heart of the tank and determines the tank.
Many technical data, now the engine can be used, so our prototype car can be started to be built." Qin Zhenhua said: "As for tank guns, our brothers will also automatically use the 105mm tank gun.
The loader has tinkered with it."
"Director Qin, now we have some concerns." At this moment, someone from below spoke: "Why should our plateau tanks be equipped with 105mm cannons? Can't we get our 125mm cannon?"
When Qin Zhenhua was designing, he proposed to install a 105mm cannon, and no one raised any objections at that time. However, now, as the project gradually advances and is about to start manufacturing a prototype, some people have finally begun to express their objections.
The 105mm gun was introduced from abroad in the 1980s. Later, it became the main tank gun in China. It played an important role in the replacement of old tanks. Moreover, it has been used until now, and many troops are still using it.
This kind of tank gun, but the caliber of this gun is limited after all, so the advanced third-generation tanks in China use 125mm guns. This gun is more powerful and can even be fired when using special bombs.
One meter deep.
"Yes, Director Qin, you often said that tanks and firepower are king." Another person spoke: "Now, our foreign trade tanks can be installed on a full weight of more than 30 tons, 125 yuan.
The millimeter tank gun is now enough for our plateau tanks. It is no problem to install our 125mm gun. Why do you have to hold our 105mm gun and not fire it?"
Tanks, firepower is king. After hearing this, Qin Zhenhua sighed again. This sentence has important significance to him. The red notebook seems to be still getting hot.
"Yes, tanks, firepower is king, this sentence is the golden rule." Qin Zhenhua said: "At that time, our firepower was not strong enough, so we could only pursue firepower first, but now, we have a strong firepower level
Therefore, we no longer need to deliberately consider the issue of firepower. Take our potential enemy as an example, we can't stop the shooting of our 105mm tank gun at all. We can already be sure to be two thousand meters away.
We used our 105mm cannon to destroy the opponent."
What is the T-72, or even the T-90, seems very powerful, but in fact, the protection of these tanks is not very high. The current 105mm cannon can already be realized using the third phase of the ammunition.
The armor-piercing ability of 600 mm equivalent homogeneous steel two thousand meters away will penetrate potential enemy tanks without any problem. What's more, there are new special armor-piercing bombs, which will greatly increase their power, and there are special ones.
The special gun-fired missile developed for the 105mm gun is already powerful enough.
In the past, I always held firepower as the king, and there was nothing I could do. The performance of the tank was limited, so I could only increase the firepower first. Now it is different. I have come out of the hard days in the past, so it should be changed.
.
"Now, since our firepower is enough, we don't have to pursue larger tank guns anymore. For a tank with a capacity of more than 30 tons, installing a 105mm gun is the most suitable. Some of our customers
, strongly requested that we install 125mm guns, there is no way. If we want to cope with more goals, we can only continue to pursue firepower. We must pursue balanced development." Qin Zhenhua said: "We put the saved weight to put
Isn’t it better to increase protection?”
At that time, Qin Zhenhua never considered the 125mm gun, because for a plateau tank that hopes to be lightly equipped, it is meaningless to deliberately pursue the powerful firepower of the 125mm tank gun. Qin Zhenhua hopes that this tank will be even more important.
It is a balanced tank that can not only sprint on the plateau, but also operate on various complex terrain to deal with surrounding threats. It is enough to use a 105mm cannon, so there is no need to pursue a separate firepower target.
The 125mm cannon is heavier than the 105mm cannon and has a greater recoil. At the same time, the number of shells it carries is also small, so they cannot lose sight of the situation.
After hearing Qin Zhenhua say this, the people who just asked the question fell into deep thought, but they did not express any objections.
"In terms of the army, we are also quite satisfied with our 105mm gun, so now, we don't have to worry about this issue anymore." Qin Zhenhua said: "Instead of worrying about firepower, we should think about how to enhance the comprehensive combat capability of this tank."
, enhancing its electronic system is the way to truly improve its combat effectiveness. Now, tanks in various countries are engaged in informatization capabilities, and ours cannot be behind the scenes. Now, we are studying the information system of tanks, so,
Our new plateau tank must take this aspect into consideration in the design stage.”
The current trend is informationization, and this thing can really greatly improve the combat capability of the tank. Any tank is no longer a lonely tank, but an information node. When needed, the superiors will be
The command center can give orders to a tank on the front line at any time, which is such a huge improvement.
