Of course, Qin Zhenhua could also guess the other party’s thoughts. The other party was not afraid of his own surveying and mapping, because the domestic production technology level is limited and it simply cannot achieve the ability to produce such an engine.
This can be seen by the Israelis and Qin Zhenhua, so if you want to buy German diesel engine surveying and mapping imitation in China, Qin Zhenhua has already determined that it will not work. Now, he is planning to buy 396 diesel. Regarding this behavior, Qin Zhenhua
I can only be helpless to be a bystander.
You cannot control everything yourself.
Now, the Israelis agree to their purchase request, and are actually catching big fish on a long line. What if they use it easily and then place an order? The country has a huge tank base, even if they only choose to change the clothes, it is still very good.
A good income.
That's why they agreed so easily, everything is for business.
"Of course, if you have needs, not just the engine, but also the entire set of modification plans for you," said Mr. Tar.
Seeing that the guests of the Eastern Power were so interested, Mr. Tar certainly wanted to continue selling. Although the Eastern Power was also transforming the 59 tank itself, it was not necessarily the best plan. If their own plan was to make the other party see it even more.
What about going on? This is a big business.
"Mr. Tar, there is a saying, "Let others go to the road and leave others with no way out. You are going to steal the business of our Yimai Factory." As soon as Qin Zhenhua said this, everyone laughed.
Even if the first day of the inspection was over, after spending a foreign night, the next day, the inspection team continued the next project and after inspecting the modified tanks, it was time to inspect the new tanks.
“We have long realized the importance of self-development.” Mr. Tal continued to entertain the group: “We have started R&D more than ten years ago, and, according to our own way of combat, we have gone through an unusual situation.
Although there are many doubts about the road, our army troops are still quite satisfied so far.”
They are taking an unusual path.
Except for them, tanks in any country are arranged normally, with the cockpit in front, the turret in the middle, and the engine in the back.
However, the Mekava tank is different. This tank developed with US aid funds has placed the engine in front, so that the turret will look even further backwards, so the appearance looks quite strange.
In fact, it goes without saying the overall layout, just talking about this turret is also extremely special.
The turret of this tank is sharp-mouthed, quite strange, like a duck's mouth. Tanks from other countries may have an inclination of the front armor of about thirty degrees or forty degrees. What about this turret?
?The armor inclination angle is estimated to reach 80 degrees!
This characteristic leads to the extremely large equivalent thickness of the armor and the small area of the front bomb. However, it also makes the space inside the turret extremely narrow. At least the turret armor in front has almost no space inside.
In terms of protection, the Israelites have reached an extreme.
Now, everyone is on the production line of the Mekava tank, watching the assembly of this tank and the strange-shaped tank.
"For you, protection is always the first priority." Qin Zhenhua said: "Firepower, maneuver, protection, you have the ultimate pursuit of protection."
In China, the pursuit of firepower is the king. For a tank and for a combat weapon, it is of course crucial to have the most powerful attack power.
However, this is not the case in the eyes of the Israelites. What they pursue is protection, firepower, and maneuverability.
The Mekava tank is a product created under this idea.
Because the engine is arranged in the front, this tank also has a special rear hatch, which looks a bit similar to an infantry fighting vehicle. Qin Zhenhua bent over and drilled inside, looking at the internal structure.
"Ye, there is quite a lot of space here. At the critical moment, I think it can be stuffed into half an infantry squad." Qin Zhenhua said with a smile.
If no shells are fired, the space behind is quite large, and such a heavy tank is born with the potential to be an infantry combat vehicle.
"You are joking," said Mr. Tar. "Tanks are tanks, infantry fighting vehicles are infantry fighting vehicles, which cannot be mixed."
"Why can't it be mixed? They are all used for wars. We have a saying that no matter whether it is a white cat or a black cat, the one who catches a mouse is a good cat. For your side, whether it is a tank or an infantry combat vehicle, as long as you can win a battle, it is a war that can be won by a war, whether it is a tank or an infantry combat vehicle.
, that's a good chariot."
Qin Zhenhua became more and more excited as he spoke. Since this is a strange tank, of course he had to say some strange ideas. Anyway, the space behind him is not small.
"Especially, your side is not only fighting in the field, but also fighting in the city. Infantry fighting vehicles are thin and thick, and they cannot provide infantry with high protection. At most, they can only defend against machine guns and bullets. Obviously,
It's not enough, at least it must be able to defend against RPGs. Only tanks can do this."
How to show that you are an expert? Of course, you have to persuade the other party and follow your own ideas!
The Mekawa tank used a 900-horsepower engine but weighed 61 tons. It is said that the British have already taken a very biased approach on the road of protection, and the most biased one is the Israelites.
Don’t they pay attention to protection? Just use tanks as infantry fighting vehicles.
"Well, the space behind this can probably be stuffed into a mortar. Do you want to try it?"
"You said..." Taal was about to refute, but suddenly, he suddenly realized again. Yes, if he stuffed a mortar into it, it might be able to perform miraculous effects in the city? After all, this is a kind of bending weapon.
!
Mortars are curved and tank guns are direct, so if there are enemies who attack from behind several buildings, the tank guns will not be easy to use, but the mortars can be shot.
It seems that it is useful to install a mortar for Mekava, so you can try it!
"In fact, it's not just this kind of advanced tank, but those transformed old tanks, like T-55 tanks, can also be converted into infantry fighting vehicles." Qin Zhenhua continued to brag.
In fact, it is not appropriate to transform a tank into an infantry fighting vehicle at all. At least from the current professional perspective, it is absolutely inappropriate.
Tanks, engines are in the back, infantry fighting vehicles, engines are in the front.
