"Architecture is the god of war. Our domestic 152mm cannon howitzer is one of the best." When we arrived at the Second Machine Factory, we showed the guests various cannons, which made Hatav the most
Of course, this kind of large-caliber artillery is still the one that values it.
The Type 66 152mm Canon howitzer, the artillery developed in the 1960s, was the pillar of the army. In the wars in previous years, it even showed its majesty.
"Its power is quite amazing." Xie Huimin introduced: "Its shell weighs 43 kilograms, with more than 20 kilograms of high-explosive explosives in it. If a shell is down, no matter what its target, it can
The killing radius is more than fifty meters, and a shot is the area of a football field, which can destroy one meter thick reinforced concrete fortifications. Even if a tank is hit directly, it can still be blown into pieces, even if it is not directly
If you hit it, you can lift the turret away."
Now, the 152mm caliber howitzer is almost the largest caliber artillery. This kind of war god is quite amazing.
In the wars in the past few years, the enemy ran away in a hurry. Now, the artillery positions remained in place without any nests, and the enemy just dared not attack the artillery fire. Otherwise, a round of counterattack would destroy the enemy.
This is a weapon that has been tested by war.
Khatav was very satisfied: "We are very interested in this weapon, but it is towed after all, and in modern warfare we want to be able to move quickly, and it would be even better if it had a self-propelled chassis.
.”
Hearing Hataf say this, Xie Huimin patted his chest: "That's easy to say, we have self-propelled artillery, of course we have it, so please follow me."
Soon, on the test site of the Second Machine Factory, a large tracked vehicle started to move over. The barrel of the car was thick and long, exactly the same as this 66-type 152mm howitzer.
of.
"See it? We have added a chassis to this kind of artillery. We are currently in the testing stage. As long as the test is completed, we can set up the troops. How about it, are you interested?"
If you are an outsider, it is easy to call it a tank. After all, it is too similar. It also has turrets and cannons.
However, it is obviously different from a tank. The self-propelled artillery and the turret are at the end, so it is naturally to greatly reduce the length of the forward extension of the barrel. The entire barrel almost does not reveal much of the car body. When moving, it is not
Will be too hindered.
At the same time, in this way, the engine cannot be placed behind. The engines of this kind of chassis are all front-mounted and placed on the right side of the driver. The space is limited and the power will not be very strong. As long as you can walk, it is fine.
The entire chassis looked pretty good, and Hartav nodded repeatedly: "Okay, good, good!"
He was very satisfied. He originally thought that only the Soviet Union would have advanced weapons and equipment. Until several trips to the East, he finally discovered the weapon system in the East. It was of good quality and cheap price, so he also wanted whatever he wanted.
That's right, this is the strength of a country with a complete industrial system.
When the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country was still an agricultural country, but after the first five-year plan, an industrial country with complete significance was formed in the country.
A country with a complete industrial system can also be counted with a slap in the world. It refers to a small screw, a large engine, a car, a steamer, everything,
It can be found in China and can be completed without importing any parts from abroad.
What are the benefits of this? Of course, it will not be subject to any restrictions. It is completely independent domestic production and what you need.
This is completely different from the promotion of internationalization. Internationalization is just a businessman's thinking. For a businessman, you can buy wherever it is cheap. You can also say that technology has no borders, but if it is once it is someone
If people stop selling, they will be stunned.
Only when everything can be matched by oneself is true autonomy.
After studying it with great enthusiasm, Khatav waved his hand and bought it!
Buy 24 of this kind of self-propelled artillery, buy 24 of them! Buy a small amount first and try it out.
This time he came out, just to buy, not worrying about not having enough money, just worrying about not being able to buy things.
Of course, the price of self-propelled artillery is relatively expensive, so you have to buy it together.
Xie Huimin couldn't stop talking about it. This bite of meat was finally considered a sip. The infantry fighting vehicle project had to be quickly promoted!
"With the artillery, there is still a lack of artillery tractors." Hatav looked at the cannons and sighed again. He thought of Mercedes-Benz and frozen so many of their military vehicle projects, otherwise, it would be unnecessary.
Worry about this problem.
"Don't worry about this. In our country, you can also find suitable products. There are still many of our artillery tractors."
There are quite a lot of cars towing artillery in China. The CA30 that liberated was already old and could not be recommended. The Dongfeng EQ240 shined in the last war and attracted everyone's praise.
In addition to Dongfeng, there are actually many in China, such as Shaanxi Automobile, which has been created after ten years of hard work, and Yan'an SX250.
This type of car is to pull the 152mm howitzer in front of you.
Back then, domestic heavy artillery was constantly being produced and equipped, but there were no supporting tractors. In the end, there were even more than a thousand vehicles. Therefore, at that time, the country introduced a small number of heavy military off-roads in the French Belière GBU15 heavy military off-roads in France.
After the car, technology was introduced simultaneously and decided to imitate the same artillery tractor.
This is a difficult process. The domestic automobile industry faces various problems. After the product is made, problems of all sizes continue to appear. After several consultations, even joint diagnosis by automobile experts across the country. Finally,
All problems were solved a few years ago and the performance became stable.
This kind of car has now become the royal tractor for the Type 66 howitzer.
Yan'an SC250 adopts the 6X6 drive form and is equipped with a 6130Q diesel engine. The total weight of the whole vehicle is 15 tons, the chassis weight is 9.4 tons, and it carries a load capacity of 5 tons under off-road driving conditions. The total amount of 6.5 tons is allowed to be traction, just the same as the
The 5.7-ton weight Type 66 152mm Canon howitzer forms a perfect match.
Of course, a lot of improvements have been made during the research and development. For example, the French Belière prototype car uses a two-and-a-half-row cab, which is tall and bulky. During the research and development process in China, the cab is carried out as a whole.
To shorten, the middle connection part was cancelled and changed to the second-row cab.
