The biennial Paris International Defense Exhibition has once again opened with great grandeur. Countless arms giants gathered here, and there were also countless customers walking back and forth, looking for their favorite products.
A group of people quickly gathered in front of Northern Company's booth. They held brochures in their hands and looked at the advanced equipment inside the cordon.
"Currently, our company is mainly promoting VT-4 and VT-5 tanks. Let's take a look at our VT-4 tank first. This tank has higher performance than our domestic 99 tank. For example, its engine
, the maximum power can reach 1,800 horsepower." Qin Zhenhua personally acted as the commentator and explained to the large number of people outside who were interested in his own equipment.
In the past, the biggest problem with domestic tanks was the engine. If the engine problem could not be solved, the tank would not be able to obtain good power. Therefore, the biggest problem for the previous VT-1 tanks when they were exported was this engine.
But now, the engine is no longer a big problem. The VT-4 tank in front of you is the export version of the 99 tank. Its engine can already have a variety of power options, and can be adjusted up to 1,800 horsepower.
After hearing Qin Zhenhua talk about this parameter, countless people became interested.
"One thousand eight hundred horsepower is really powerful. How long can it work with this kind of power?" someone asked.
If it only has a lifespan of a few hundred hours, it's meaningless. They don't want to have to overhaul it after a few hundred hours.
"We can guarantee a normal service life of 10,000 hours." Qin Zhenhua said: "If it is adjusted to 1,500 horsepower, it can have a life of more than 20,000 hours. During the entire life of the tank, it will require at most one overhaul.
.”
Everyone present was surprised. They did not expect that the tank engine technology of the great Eastern countries is already very advanced. They can make the tanks output such powerful power and have a long life.
Looking at Europe, the British diesel engine has always been stagnant at 1,200 horsepower, so it has become a weakling among the third generation tanks. In order to strengthen the protection, their tanks continue to increase the weight of the armor. The latest
The Challenger tank is already running with a total weight of 80 tons, and the power is still the 1,200 horsepower engine. Just think about it and you will know how poor the maneuverability is. It is probably the British who are walking infantry tanks again.
road.
The Leopard-2 tank has been being upgraded and is now the Leopard-2A7 model. However, the engine has not changed. It is still the original 1,500-horsepower engine. Although the power output of this engine is not bad, due to its high speed,
It generates a lot of heat, so its own cooling system also consumes a lot of power.
The tank engines of the big Eastern countries in front of us actually stood out like this. They not only made up for the lack of power in the past, but now they have even begun to make great progress!
This is very surprising.
"What's the pole behind the turret?" someone started to ask.
"Those are our laser receiving devices. They are part of the vehicle-mounted active defense system. We all know that when an enemy tank is discovered and attacked, a laser range finder will definitely be needed. This device of ours,
It uses the laser signal emitted by the enemy as a basis for judgment, and then launches a counterattack." Qin Zhenhua introduced: "For modern tanks, electronic warfare is already an important combat method. This tank of ours is
There are a lot of these electronic warfare weapons and equipment, and they are also introduced in the brochure."
Mbappe came over. He had been thinking about those special equipment. Now, the exhibition started. He stayed at his booth for a while, and then ran over. When he got closer, he saw it immediately.
What he wanted to see. The H-11 wheeled self-propelled howitzer.
Below is the new generation wheeled chassis of the No. 1 Machinery Factory, which is a large eight-wheeler. On top, there is a turret with a 155mm howitzer. This makes the whole car look very uncoordinated, just like a big-headed doll.
However, no one will deny that this car has powerful fire suppression capabilities. It uses a 39-caliber howitzer. At this time, the thick and long barrel is pointing towards the sky, looking so majestic and majestic.
The 155mm howitzer has become an important ground force suppression weapon in this era. However, the tracked chassis is very expensive, while the wheeled chassis is much cheaper. It can be used in many terrains, such as deserts, grasslands, and Gobi.
The wheeled chassis is enough for off-road driving. This kind of car is really suitable.
Now, looking at this self-propelled howitzer, Mbappe admired it very much. They don't have this thing either. Although they also have artillery with a wheeled chassis, it is a truck chassis, that is, a truck gun, and the operator is exposed.
Outside, various arrangements must be made in advance during operation. It is definitely not as convenient as the self-propelled howitzer with a large eight-wheel chassis in front of you.
The weapons of the great eastern country are really too complete. There are truck guns, wheeled chassis guns, and tracked chassis guns. Moreover, it is said that these guns have been sold, and many customers are quite popular. It seems that
, it may really become a strong opponent of their French military industry in the future.
Now, users are all interested in the tanks of the great Eastern countries. They are asking all kinds of questions. It won’t be long before they come over to see this kind of artillery, right?
Thinking of this, Mbappe went to see the truck cannon again.
The truck guns brought by the Eastern powers are even larger in number, including 155mm and 122mm, and there is even one installed on the chassis of a Humvee.
That's right, the Mengshi off-road vehicle, which is an imitation of the Hummer, has no patent rights among military equipment. As long as it can be imitated, that's what it is. In this regard, the big Eastern countries still have innate advantages.
, this kind of Humvee that is commonly used in U.S. military equipment has also been imitated by the big Eastern countries and became the Oriental Humvee.
This car has various deformations. The one we took out this time is actually a car cannon. At the back of the car, a 120mm caliber mortar is placed. The muzzle is forward, just like the previous 212.
Same as a recoilless rifle.
This car looks even more domineering. People from the Eastern countries are really capable and can come up with all kinds of fantastic ideas.
Mbappe stared at this car for a long time. When the crowd came over, he went to the indoor booth inside, where there were many good things.
