Chapter six hundred and twenty second open upside down
The chassis of the Mekava tank is quite good to transform infantry fighting vehicles, but the tanks are different. With the layout of the tank, where will the infantry come out?
The top? You get a machine gun when you come out!
Side? The side is tracked!
Normal infantry fighting vehicles open the door from the back, which is naturally to protect the soldiers. On the battlefield, when the infantry fighting vehicles move to dangerous places, they use the vehicle body to block the bullets fired by the enemy, and then quickly descend from the back. This is the standard process. Almost all infantry fighting vehicles are designed in this way.
What to do behind the tank? Is it a hole in the engine?
Qin Zhenhua spoke nonsense, and the other party was speechless. Later, a tank engineer next to him couldn't help but speak: "This, the Mekava tank can be transformed into an infantry fighting vehicle. We believe that how can this T-55 tank be transformed into an infantry fighting vehicle? Where do they go out?"
After the other party asked this, Qin Zhenhua knew that he had let it go, but at this time, of course, Qin Zhenhua could not admit that he was making a fool of himself. Since he had said that, he had to continue talking, just like he had made an appointment with him, and he had to finish the fight with tears in his eyes.
"Of course it's still from the back." Qin Zhenhua said, thinking quickly in his mind how to keep going.
"But there is the engine behind it." The other party said.
"Yes, that's right, there is the engine behind it, so what? Can this difficulty stump you?" Qin Zhenhua was shaking his words while thinking quickly in his mind about the solution. Can you stump you? The solution is always come up with!
Qin Zhenhua thought quickly in his mind, and then one by one, one plan formed from his mind.
"Can't think of it? Okay, today is a communication. I'll explain it to you. There are many solutions, including simple modifications and major modifications." Qin Zhenhua said: "First of all, let me talk about the major modifications first, which is to drive the T-55 tank upside down!"
Open upside down?
When everyone heard this, they were confused. Even Mr. Huang and others were confused. Today, did Qin Zhenhua have a fever? Why did he start talking nonsense? Has anyone seen someone driving a tank upside down?
"Drive upside down?" The other party was still thinking about Qin Zhenhua's words, and Mr. Tar, who was beside him, had already clapped his hands: "That's right, this is a good idea!"
For tanks with normal layout, the engine is at the back, and if they want to be converted into infantry fighting vehicles, the engine must be at the front.
Big changes? If you make big changes, you have to consider the cost. If it is the same as the new one, who will change it? Therefore, this must be a simple way of transformation, and the original components must be used as much as possible. Therefore, with this idea, how to move the engine from the back to the front?
Of course, it’s to adjust the body of the car!
If the car drives upside down, it will naturally be that the engine is in front and the open space flows out from behind. Naturally, a hatch for members to enter and exit can be deployed at the rear.
What Qin Zhenhua said about driving upside down is not really driving upside down. It is impossible for the tank hand to drive upside down all the time. Just turn the car body upside down and then turn the driver's position upside down. Isn't that enough?
Since an infantry fighting vehicle has been made, the turret needs to be removed and the rear position needs to be raised. It is enough to find a position for the driver in the middle of the vehicle body. In this way, the problem of the 59 tank being transformed into an infantry fighting vehicle has been completely solved.
This is a heavy infantry fighting vehicle!
Ordinary infantry fighting vehicles can at most protect against machine gun bullet shooting, and this infantry fighting vehicles can defend against RPGs and even against the attack of armor-piercing bullets! Staying inside is quite safe.
The only disadvantage is that it is too heavy. Ordinary infantry fighting vehicles are just over a dozen tons. After the transformation of this kind of tank, it is estimated that it will be forty tons.
Now, it is impossible for the domestic reform to be transformed in this way. After all, the 59 tanks in the army are still treasured as treasures. However, ten or twenty years later, with the gradual replacement of domestic tanks, the retired old 59 tanks can be transformed in this way.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhenhua was a little excited and wished he could see the appearance of such heavy infantry fighting vehicles. Sure enough, only when he encountered an urgent situation would inspire people.
When this plan was finished, Qin Zhenhua himself was complacent about his plan.
Although this plan is a major change, the chassis has not changed. It is still the original one. It only needs to be modified by the cockpit and upper part. In this way, the conversion from tank to infantry fighting vehicle can be completed under the most economical situation. It is still the only heavy infantry fighting vehicle in the world!
When tanks are old, how to make them use their residual heat is an important issue. Even countries like Israel dare not throw them away directly. Instead, they have to repair and continue to use them. The modification to an infantry fighting vehicle is considered to be a lower-level use, and it should be the best destination for these old tanks.
Everyone's eyes shine brightly when they hear it.
"So, what about the simple modification plan?" asked Mr. Tar.
"It's simple, it's not to exchange front and back." Qin Zhenhua said: "I saw that your tank was modified with a new engine, and the space in the power compartment was abundant. This space can be regarded as a hatch for a soldier to enter and exit front and back. Even if it is a little tighter, it can at least enter and exit from the back."
Only the other party's tank can be modified like this. People use an eight-cylinder engine with a short horizontal length, so a special aisle is vacant. If it is a tank on its own, it cannot be modified like this. It can only be adjusted forward and backward.
Add a simple aisle, just like a corridor?
After hearing Qin Zhenhua's introduction, the eyes of several people flashed. In contrast, they were obviously more attracted by this plan and achieved the transformation of the strongest infantry fighting vehicle with the least cost of transformation!
The front and back adjustment is simple, but in fact, there are many problems involved. Although there are five pairs of load bearing wheels, the weights of each pair of load bearing wheels are different.
The first pair of load-bearing wheels of the T-55 tank bear the largest weight because the tank has thick armor in front, and when it is transferred, the load-bearing will be wasted.
Qin Zhenhua didn't know that he was talking nonsense here today and actually gave them a new and strange idea. So, a few years later, a strange heavy infantry fighting vehicle really appeared. At that time, after seeing it, Qin Zhenhua couldn't help but sigh. I was indeed a genius.
