Speaking of this, it made everyone feel very moved. The Gauls have always been unique. The tank in front of them has the characteristics of the Gauls and always looks different from others everywhere. Their weapons are expensive, but after some boasting, they can be sold.
After their deception, this Leclerc tank also gained some results and was successfully exported to a country. However, the customer is not a fool. After some research, he decided to replace the engine that the Gauls brag about. It was dropped and replaced with the European power unit.
This European power unit is actually a German MTU engine, plus a 295TM automatic transmission. This power unit is based on the power unit of the Leopard-2 tank, and is further improved, making it more compact in size and more convenient to use.
Therefore, even the British were attracted to it and used this power unit directly on their Challenger tanks. Of course, it was also for export. The Perkins engine was used for self-use.
The British used it, the French used it, and the Germans used it, so it can be called the European power unit in a veritable name. Tanks from other European countries can be used at any time if you want to use it.
Although the Eastern powers now have advanced tank power systems, Qin Zhenhua is actually very envious of this power system of an industrial power. The overall design is perfect, and after years of running-in, it has become very mature. , the life span is still very long, and as a colleague, Qin Zhenhua is also very envious.
Of course, if you want to compare, your own side is not bad, and your own side still has a great advantage in terms of cost.
In front of this Leclerc tank, a few people stopped and studied for a while. Nie Qianqian said, "Everyone, are you planning to study this tank for a day? There are still many good things here."
Qin Zhenhua nodded: "Yes, we should take a good look. We can't just look at it. Let's go, what's ahead? Big Balun, it seems that there is nothing unique to everyone!"
Hearing Qin Zhenhua's words, Nie Qianqian smiled: "Of course you can't see it. You must not know that the biggest feature of this big eight-wheeled model is the use of titanium alloy armor, right?"
As soon as these words were said, Qin Zhenhua really took a breath. When did the Gauls become so rich?
A long time ago, aluminum was a high-end material, more precious than silver. Therefore, when someone won international awards, they used aluminum cups. Until later, the emergence of electrolytic aluminum technology made this nobleman Metals have become civilian materials. Aluminum alloys have excellent characteristics, light texture, good ductility and good conductivity. They have been used in many aspects, such as aerospace.
On the ground tanks, many vehicles use aluminum armor. Under the same protective power, aluminum armor saves weight compared to steel armor. It is a good material. Of course, it is expensive. Just one thing, there are also tall electric vehicles that use aluminum structure components in order to reduce weight.
In fact, in addition to aluminum, there is another material that is titanium alloy. Titanium alloy is lighter than aluminum and has higher mechanical strength. Therefore, with the development of aerospace technology, it has been adopted in many places.
Titanium alloy.
However, titanium alloy is more expensive, so after using this kind of thing, the price will increase rapidly. It is fine if aerospace vehicles use titanium alloy, but as for the use of titanium alloy on ground weapons, it is too luxurious
.
Of course, the Russians are exceptional, because they own the world's largest titanium ore. Even the SR-71 titanium alloy reconnaissance aircraft that Americans know about use of titanium alloys are actually imported from the Soviet Union.
Now, the Gauls actually used titanium alloy materials on their chariots, which really made Qin Zhenhua shocked.
Are they giving up? The price of their vehicles was very high, but now, with titanium alloy, it is even higher. And some people are selling this as a selling point?
Qin Zhenhua thought secretly in his heart, and at the same time, he looked at the armored vehicle with an admiring gaze of a rich man.
With a normal layout, the eight wheels of this era are almost the same. The four large diameter tires are arranged at an equal interval. The body of the car is in the shape of a box, and the front end of the car is wedge-shaped, so that you can get the best
The armored guard has a small turret on the top and is equipped with a small caliber machine cannon. There are a lot of screw heads exposed outside the car, which looks like an extra rough style, and it looks like an old man.
However, the camouflage paint outside looks good.
At this time, Nie Qianqian was introducing to everyone: "Ordinary tanks are made of steel armor and are relatively heavy, so many tanks now start to use aluminum alloys, but aluminum alloys are not resistant to high temperatures.
After being hit by an armor-piercing bomb, it will burn locally to produce toxic gases. Titanium alloy perfectly solves this problem."
Zhang Zhong, who was standing by, quickly agreed: "Yes, titanium alloy is the best metal material. The strength, toughness, heat resistance and other properties are far superior to aluminum alloys. Unfortunately, this thing is too expensive. In the past, the Soviet Union used to be.
I used titanium alloy on the submarine and easily dived into the sea water of a thousand meters, which was eye-opening. The chariot in front of me is the first chariot in the world that uses titanium alloy as armor."
After hearing Zhang Zhong's words, Nie Qianqian was quite satisfied. This guy still knew a lot. The one in front of him was really the first one in the world. I just don't know if it would be the only one, and I don't know if it can be sold.
go out.
"I think its turret should be an unmanned turret." Wang Xiaoyu said. For her, the one who is most concerned about is of course the unmanned turret. Now, when she looked at the various accessories outside the turret, she knew in her heart that it must be nothing.
The man's turret is here.
In this era, unmanned turrets have gradually become popular, and at this European International Defense Exhibition, you will definitely see a lot of unmanned turret equipment.
"It should be an unmanned turret, but the biggest highlight of this defense exhibition is not an unmanned turret, but a drone. I have seen the catalog of exhibits, and there will be many drones that appear in this exhibition.
"Nie Qianqian continued.
This is an international defense exhibition, so the three navy, army, air and military equipment are fully equipped. Navy cannot be used in real objects, and can also be used on models. Drones are the trump card at the exhibition.
