Last time, I saw the second-generation tanks developed by the first machine factory. However, those tanks used imported German diesel engines. Although they looked good, they became the biggest flaw because the engine needed to be imported.
.
At that time, Lao Ba was just watching and was not moved. Now, the Eastern powers finally increased their engine to 800 horsepower. This thing is somewhat sufficient, so Sharif is still very satisfied with it.
of.
Especially this new welded turret looks more beautiful and atmospheric, with the first armor tilting backwards to form a good slope, the high barrel looks longer?
"This tank gun is an 83A tank gun, which is less than a few dozen centimeters longer than the original Type 81 tank gun." Qin Zhenhua immediately introduced him when he saw the other party looking at this tank.
Sharif nodded: "It still looks good."
The Storm-2 tank is the latest product of the first machine factory. At the same time, it is also equipped with the latest domestic technology. First, the lower trans image stabilization system was successfully developed and installed on it for testing. Its gearbox,
A hydraulic semi-automatic transmission was also used, and the operating lever was replaced with a steering wheel. It can be said that the shadow of the Soviet tank could no longer be seen from this tank.
Sharif looked at the various techniques above and nodded constantly.
"If you need it, we can export this tank to you. At the same time, if you want technology, we can also negotiate if you produce it in your own tank factory." Qin Zhenhua said.
I went to Lao Ba last time and knew that they wanted to transform their overhaul factory into a tank production plant. Now, India opposite Lao Ba has begun to develop Arjun tanks themselves, and Lao Ba can't wait to produce tanks themselves.
of.
In short, all kinds of solutions can be discussed, as long as you are satisfied with our tank.
Sharif's expression gradually became serious. Looking at the tank, he said seriously: "Qin, you are our friend, so, let's just say it. This tank looks very good in performance, but
, still cannot meet our needs.”
"We can improve what you need," said Qin Zhenhua.
"First of all, it's its tank gun." Sharif said: "If we want to produce it ourselves, we must produce the world's most advanced tank. The current 105mm tank gun has good performance, but it cannot
To meet our needs, we want a bigger caliber."
The Indian Arjun tank on the opposite side carries a 120mm cannon barrel! If Lao Ba wants to produce the tank himself, of course he can't be compared. The second-generation tank uses a 105mm cannon, which is already very good, but
For a third-generation tank, that's not enough, and you have to use a thicker gun barrel!
After hearing what Sharif said, Qin Zhenhua thought: "Our tank can be replaced when it is designed. Whether it is a 120mm tank gun or a 125mm tank gun, we can change it."
The 120mm tank gun is ready-made. Although it was not finally spotted by the troops, its technology has matured and is now planning to be installed on the self-propelled chassis to become a self-propelled anti-tank gun. If the other party needs it, it can be installed.
!
Several of our 122 experimental prototypes are equipped with these tank guns.
As for the 125mm tank gun, it may take some time to wait, but since our troops have chosen this caliber, they must accelerate their development. It will take one or two years to produce results.
Considering Lao Ba's situation, the main weapons of their troops are still from the West. In order to be consistent with the West, they probably chose a caliber of 120 mm.
In fact, this is just one with the same diameter. The same diameter does not mean that the ammunition can be exchanged. Their own launch cartridges are larger than those in the West, so they cannot be stuffed in at all.
Now, Qin Zhenhua is excited and waiting for the other party's answer.
"We are doing research, but to a large extent, the next generation of tank gun caliber, we want to choose 125 mm," Sharif said.
"Why?" Qin Zhenhua was very strange.
Lao Ba was supposed to take the Western path, so why did he choose this caliber as the standard? This is the standard caliber of the Soviet Union!
China also chose 125mm caliber as the standard, which has been considered in many aspects. Moreover, the current choice has not been leaked yet, and Lao Ba is not sure. Now they actually have to choose this way. This is what the heroes see.
Same?
"For greater firepower," Sharif said: "Our tank, if we want the strongest firepower, the caliber is 5 mm more, the launching medicine can be installed more. We hope that this tank cannon has a stronger performance than the Indians.
The 120mm rifled gun is also stronger than the 125mm tank gun of the Indian T-72 tank."
The larger the caliber, the greater the power, which is a common truth.
Only the IWC brand equipment like India can have various calibers. Their own rifles have several calibers. The current tanks are also the ones developed by themselves. They need 120 mm, or a weird rifled gun. The imported T-72 is 125 mm.
, don't care about logistics support at all.
Lao Ba wants a 125mm cannon and wants the strongest performance.
"This, we can guarantee that our self-developed 125mm tank gun will definitely be stronger than the T-72." Qin Zhenhua said: "It is very easy to be stronger than the Indian T-72 tank."
The Indians are the monkey version, and the performance of the armor-piercing bomb is even more pitiful, and the gun barrel is simply wasted.
However, in this way, it is probably impossible to reach an agreement this time. We have to look forward to the successful development of our 125mm tank gun.
"Secondly, we also hope that this tank can be studied with you." Sharif said: "We want to make tanks that adapt to our domestic environment, and we also hope to take this research and development path."
Lao Ba is very pragmatic. They know that buying cannot buy advanced national defense. They must have the ability to produce and develop.
Now, there is another teacher like this.
"That's it." Qin Zhenhua hesitated a little.
"We look forward to your answer," Sharif said: "We also look forward to our cooperation to succeed, develop a tank with the world's advanced level and become the sharp knife of our army armored soldiers."
Sharif seems to be very interested in this cooperative research and development.
