Chapter 2911 The difference between self-use and export
In recent years, the first machine factory has been walking on two legs. In addition to using it for its own use, it is also exporting domestic equipment, so that it can earn more benefits and then invest in research and development to promote the further development of tank technology.
Needless to say, even the 99 tank was packaged for sale and started to be launched under the name of VT-4 tank. Of course, this tank can also be regarded as an upgraded version of Khalid tank, making it a 2-mao
The engine was replaced by its own engine, not only with the power increase, but also with a hydraulic transmission system, becoming a high-end product exported by a machine factory.
Now, VT-5 tanks are starting to be available again. This tank will become another flagship product to be exported in the future. Moreover, it is completely aimed at a gap in the international arms export market. Qin Zhenhua is very satisfied with this plan.
Yes, I immediately agreed with Wu Qing's plan.
"Director Qin, if we want to export, do we need to lower the quality standards of the product?" After Wu Qing finished speaking, someone asked a question.
Generally speaking, the export tanks of developed countries are much worse than those used by themselves. For example, in the Soviet era, the T-72 tanks they used were much better than the export-type T-72 tanks, especially armor protection.
There are also armor-piercing bombs, which are of different levels at all. Therefore, in the war in the oil region, this type of export-type tank was beaten to the point where it was impossible to find the north, completely discrediting the reputation of the Russian tanks.
On the contrary, it has created the reputation of Western tanks, especially their M1 tanks, not only the T-72 tanks cannot penetrate the main armor of the M1 tank, but even their own tank guns cannot penetrate their main armor.
The actual combat made M1 famous in one battle and sold a lot.
However, the M1 tank sold by the Americans was a shrinking version. On the battlefield, it exploded as soon as it hit. The Americans' advanced composite armor will never be used for export-type products, for fear of leaking themselves
The secret.
In the past, the products exported by the one-machine factory were more advanced than those used by themselves. All high-end equipment were supplied and exported first. By accumulating experience in export products, they would only use it by themselves after they matured.
In this way, it has developed little by little to the present, and the tank technology of the first-machine factory has also developed to the world's first-class level. This kind of light tank will become their hottest product in the weapon export market. Then, the problem will come.
, do they need to package and export their advanced technology in a complete package?
This is really a problem.
After hearing this question, Qin Zhenhua also pondered for a while and said, "I think we should talk about it separately. First of all, from the perspective of maneuverability, our tank engine is specially studied for use in plateau areas. If we
If our customers do not have the needs of plateau use, then our engine can be slightly changed, for example, remove the secondary boost and improve the lifespan, as long as it can meet the combat needs in plain areas."
Their light tanks are used for plateaus and use the structure of a secondary supercharger. In plain areas, there is generally no need to turn on the secondary turbocharger, as long as there is a first-level one, it is enough.
"Then, in terms of firepower, in this regard, we use our own and exported systems, and when we export, we can also export foreign trade bullets, which will not have any impact on our country." Qin Zhenhua continued
Said.
In terms of firepower, it is also a big problem. Since the past few years, foreign trade and self-use have been two systems. Generally, outsiders believe that the shells used by major Eastern countries are much higher in performance than those exported. After all, the shells used by themselves,
Special alloys can be used, and foreign trade bullets. Considering various problems, this special alloy will not be used, and ordinary tungsten alloys are used, so the armor-piercing ability is much worse.
"As for the protection, the basic protection is the same. When designed, our light tank can be used to mount different additional armor according to different target threats." Qin Zhenhua continued.
Since it is a light tank, there must be a lack of protection. During normal training, you don’t need to hang too much armor, which can be more lightweight. On the battlefield, if you need to face a more severe threat, then
The protective power can be further improved by plugging the armor. This is their solution. Therefore, there are different differences in protection. Foreign models are different from those used by their own models and plug-in armor.
The protection power is different. In this way, the domestic self-used tanks can be kept confidential. The outside world cannot guess the data of domestic self-used tanks through export models. In the war, we can also rely on this.
A superiority to defeat the enemy.
The enemy speculated that his own protection was only at the level of 500 mm of homogeneous armored steel. When he arrived on the battlefield, he suddenly found that the armor-piercing bomb that could penetrate 550 mm of homogeneous steel could not penetrate his own tank armor. The enemy
It’s time to catch it, so countries should play this role in keeping the specific performance of their main combat equipment confidential.
After Qin Zhenhua said this, he thought of something and continued: "In terms of electronic technology, we can export our equipment in the past. As long as it is a different code, we can complete the need for confidentiality. Nowadays, tanks are all about informatization.
So, our tanks cannot shrink in this regard.”
In addition to firepower, maneuvering, and protection, tanks also need to pay attention to informatization. The information system developed by the one-machine factory is also costly and must be exported to let customers feel the powerful combat power of informatization equipment.
Only in this way can the strong technological strength of Yiji Factory be demonstrated and let customers know that their products are the best.
Electronic systems are different from other systems. As long as they are switched to different encodings, they can play a role in keeping confidential. Even when electronic systems play an increasingly important role in weapons and equipment, they can play a lot of additional roles.
For example, the weapon system can be locked, and you have to pay if you want to upgrade. If the customer buys it with a loan, if the payment is not paid on time, the entire weapon system can be locked. What's more, like the ones exported by the United States.
Control of weapons is in the hands of Americans. If customers want to use weapons, they have to apply with Americans. If they don’t agree, the weapon will be locked and not allowed to be used.
