After staying in front of this self-propelled cannon for a long time, Mr. He asked Mr. Zhu that although the original purpose was to see the 80 tank, in fact, the 80 tank had been seen many times, the prototype car
It's still in the capital's troops, so it's not that rare. The self-propelled anti-tank guns in front of me are unique and shiny.
"I think this weapon appears at a suitable time." Mr. Zhu spoke there.
"At present, we are replacing the existing 100mm rifled gun with a 105mm rifled gun, which should meet the needs of a period of time, but if the situation changes, we will still be in a hurry."
The main domestic threat is the Soviet Union in the north. The Soviet Union is the biggest threat to our side, but it is not the main threat to the Soviet Union. The main target of the Soviets is the Western world. Their rolling armor torrents are mainly prepared for Europe.
Therefore, those powerful T-64 and T-80 are all deployed on the European battlefield. In the Far East, the largest number is actually the T-55 tanks.
If the Soviets placed the most advanced T-80 to the north of their side, could their existing 105mm tank gun be penetrated? No one knows that without having to do a real battle on the battlefield.
, Over the years, the T-72 is no secret, but the tanks such as the T-64 and T-80 have never had any real and reliable news. No one knows how the real bulletproof capabilities of these tanks are.
Just like a conflict broke out on an island in the north at that time, all our weapons could not wear the armor of the T-62 tank! At that time, what brought the entire country was shocked.
We don’t know how thick the other side’s tank is. What we can do is to increase our armor-piercing ability as much as possible, the higher the better!
"Now, we have set the next generation of tank artillery to a caliber of 125mm, but the maturity of a gun will take several years of testing and continuous adjustment. This tank is not installed.
Before our tank, our army had a gap period of several years." Zhu Lao said: "I think the weapon in front of us can just make up for this gap period."
Qin Zhenhua was moved by the sidelines. Mr. Zhu had a very good relationship with the first aircraft factory. Now that he came here, he served as a supporter for this self-propelled anti-tank gun.
Of course, what Mr. Zhu said was the actual situation, and there was not much exaggeration. The real function of this 120mm caliber self-propelled anti-tank gun is to make up for the gap in its own firepower.
According to the current situation, the second-generation tank is a 105mm tank gun. Even if it is an extended barrel, the firepower increase is limited. The 120mm tank gun is inherently powerful.
When the army has qualified tanks and when its 125mm artillery has completely matured, the self-propelled anti-tank guns in front of them will naturally lose their meaning.
After all, it is a self-propelled artillery, not a tank. Its maneuverability and protection are poor. On modern battlefields, it cannot attack, but can only passively defend on positions, which is not as useful as a tank.
However, as far as the current situation is concerned, the country is implementing the strategic goal of national defense, and the country is going to fight a defensive battle. These self-propelled artillery can be placed on preset positions when needed to attack invaders.
Enemy, this is the meaning of its existence!
After Mr. Zhu introduced him, the officers accompanying him nodded frequently, and his analysis was quite reasonable.
"How did it solve its loading problem?" someone asked.
The reason for denying the tank on this cannon was because of the automatic loading machine. Now, how did it solve this self-propelled cannon?
"This, everyone can go in and take a look." Qin Zhenhua said: "Look at what we think about solving it."
The turret is very large, and the shells are placed in the bullet bay at the tail. At the same time, this bullet bay can also balance the weight of the cannon. Then, you can see that there is a special mechanism from the tail bay to the muzzle, which is not particularly complicated.
"Is this a semi-automatic loading plan?" Someone has seen the trick.
"Yes, semi-automatic loading." Qin Zhenhua said: "It not only reduces labor intensity but also reduces mechanical difficulty. This is the simplest and most effective solution we have come up with. Anyway, our self-propelled cannon does not require a low appearance.
Only this big turret can accommodate it."
"Well, this weapon is designed very cleverly." Old He said, "When the military parade is over, we will give a detailed report on this weapon."
Hearing this, Qin Zhenhua was overjoyed. This shows that Mr. He was already interested in this weapon, and the officers present were also interested!
The top priority now is the military parade, so this self-propelled anti-tank cannon will not be put on the agenda until the military parade is over. In the past six months, it will continue to be tested and improved.
After talking about this self-propelled anti-tank gun, the group entered the workshop and began to see the last 80 tanks installed on the production line.
"This is a new tank, and we need to do a lot of training, so will the engine's life be consumed during training?" Someone asked this question of concern.
The lifespan of tank engines is caused by many reasons. It inherits the characteristics of the Soviets, with five large and three thick production, and is not very high in processing accuracy, so its lifespan is naturally not very good. The B2 series engines only cost 500 hours.
Lifespan: If you drive for five hours a day, it will take only 100 days to drive the engine until it is scrapped.
For other tanks, one or two hours of training per day, it is enough, but these 80 tanks are new tanks, and the troops will definitely train more frequently.
Of course, military parades are a major event. If the engine reaches its lifespan during training, it will definitely be replaced with a new one. However, this will cost a lot of money, and the troops still need to ask clearly.
"The original engine had a lifespan of 500 hours. In addition to increasing the power to 730 horsepower, the 12150ZL engine produced by the coal-provincial diesel engine factory also increased its lifespan to 700 hours. In addition to increasing the power to 730 horsepower, our further improved engine, in addition to
The engine has been increased to 800 hours and the life span has been increased to 1,000 hours. You can calculate whether it can be used on the day of the military parade."
sure!
A lifespan of one thousand hours is more than enough. Everyone was very happy to hear this answer.
"How did you do it?"
"We have studied a plasma spraying process, spraying it on the cylinder wall, increasing wear resistance time." Qin Zhenhua said with a smile.
The German manufacturer has a good technology. After purchasing so many 396 diesel engines, the German manufacturer also outputs all the 396 diesel engine technology. The first machine factory has asked for plasma spraying of the cylinders and has gone through many experiments. After that, it finally came up with it.
For engines, the most wear-out is the cylinders and pistons. Overhauling is actually mainly about changing pistons and cylinder liners. This wear resistance is improved, and the service life will naturally be significantly improved.
