Qin Zhenhua does not advocate gas turbine tanks. In his eyes, the technology required for this kind of engine is very advanced and far from being able to overcome. Even if it is made, it will not be able to burn because it is too fuel-consuming.
However, it is okay to introduce a few units and study them yourself. After all, it is very valuable to have a world-class engine for reference. When you study diesel engines, you still refer to some designs of German diesel engines.
of.
However, at the same time, Americans are also very cautious and cannot give their treasures to others casually. Therefore, the other party once again ignored Qin Zhenhua's proposal and proposed a new plan to improve your T-T
-54 tank!
Dr. Wright is not very familiar with the Eastern Powers. He knows that they are equipped with the T-54 series tanks, but he doesn't know that this tank is called the 59 tank in the Eastern Powers. In fact, this is also the perception of many people.
If the Eastern Powers are not interested in the military aid plan, then if they want to improve the combat capabilities of the Eastern Powers' army, they must improve their existing tanks.
This has a huge base, so if you modify it, you can also have great market prospects. After all, their company wants to make money.
When it comes to improving this kind of tank, the Eastern powers have already begun. For example, the 69 tank that is now galloping in war areas is one of the modifications.
However, no matter how it is changed, even if it is replaced with the L7 tank gun with British technology, it is still just an improvement without changing the medicine, and it has not effectively improved the combat performance of this tank. If you want to change it, just
Have a major change!
When Dr. Wright said this, Qin Zhenhua immediately became interested.
Cooperate and improve our tanks?
The other party must have made money, but it is impossible for the Eastern power to hand over its tank modification order to the Americans. This is a waste of money. However, if you improve it, you can still learn from it first.
The guests of the Eastern power showed great interest in this proposal made by the Americans. On the next day, in the conference room, a group of technicians began to express their own opinions on the improvement of this tank.
.
"First of all, what this tank needs to be improved the most is the turret." Dr. Wright has obviously made great preparations for the improvement of this tank. In fact, it may not be for the 59 tank, but it may be.
It is not difficult to prepare for the world's stock of T-54 tanks, and through Israel, it is not difficult to get some tanks.
The turret of the T-54 series tank is cast and has a narrow internal space, so it cannot be called a modern tank at all. Therefore, the first step to improvement is its turret.
When the slides were shown, Qin Zhenhua, Zhu Lao and others couldn't help but whisper. The turret displayed was almost a reduced version of an M1 tank turret!
The rolling armor, the cannon shield that Mr. Zhu has studied many times in front, was almost drawn as it is. Except for the size of the smaller one, there is no change in everything else!
The rear still contracts because the engine behind is a little higher than the engine compartment of the 59 tank.
"We are still based on this turret based on the L7 tank gun, but a large number of internal equipment have been updated, and the weight has also been increased. In order to improve its performance, we also decided to replace it with an engine."
The doctor said: "Troit Diesel Engine's 8V-92TA type 8-cylinder diesel engine, which can output 750 horsepower. At the same time, it uses the XTG-411 fully automatic transmission provided by General Motors' Allison Transmission Division.
Force transmission, with 4 forward gears and 2 reverse gears.”
These data are revealed, and the basic tank improvement plan is about to be revealed. If you attach a reduced version of the M1 tank, plus the American engine and transmission system, and make other improvements, you can become a
A modern tank.
This tank looks beautiful and atmospheric, with side skirts and pulleys on the tracks. Moreover, looking at the structure of the rear, even if the engine compartment is raised, it is not enough. It still needs to be expanded backwards for a car.
body.
If the 59 tank is transformed in this way, the final combat power will be no less than that of the 80 tank!
Moreover, the above needs to use Western vision equipment, which is also a major improvement for our side.
While the other party was explaining, Mr. Zhu glanced over Qin Zhenhua with an excited look. Qin Zhenhua also looked over there, his eyes facing each other, and nodded meaningfully.
It's worth it, you can do it!
No matter what the final result will be, in short, in the research and development of such a project, our side will accumulate valuable experience. Our side is the best at modifying the 59 tank, but we have never thought of improving it with such a big fanfare.
After this change, I completely changed my original appearance. I could no longer recognize it as a genuine Su-type tank. I could not recognize it as a famous five-pair heavy wheel. If it appeared on the battlefield
When the enemy's armored soldiers saw it, they thought it was an M1 tank coming, and then turned around and ran away?
This is really a fool.
This is just an idea, so only a rough design plan will be transferred to detailed design if the two parties can reach a cooperation intention in the end.
On the slide, there are several chic English letters written on one corner.
jaguar.
"jaguar, jaguar, good." Qin Zhenhua said: "We think this jaguar tank is pretty good. Even if we jointly develop it and put it on the market, it is very good. Mr. Wright, we can talk about cooperation.
What are the details? For example, where will this tank be produced in the end?"
jaguar, if it is a transliteration, it is often pronounced as Jaguar, and if it is translated, it should be a jaguar. Although the other party has given an American name, it doesn't matter. It looks like a tiger, full of
murderous look.
The two sides jointly developed it. Will their own domestic assembly be assembled? Qin Zhenhua is not optimistic, but he still has great confidence in promoting it to the international market.
Now, the details can be discussed.
Dr. Wright was overjoyed: "Okay, let's discuss the details. The production link can be placed in your country. After all, your production cost is low in China, but R&D must be placed in ours. Let's introduce a special company to you."
