Among domestic tank hats, the representative one is the domestic TMT-2 tank hat equipped with the Type 59 medium tank.
In order to adapt to different tank hands, this TMT-2 tank work hat has three numbers: large, medium and small. In order to adapt to different climates, it is divided into northern winter (external skin and inner hair), northern summer (cloth surface), and southern
There are four styles: winter (single leather) and southern summer (nylon yarn mesh). Each 59 tank is equipped with 5 winter 5 summer ten tank caps.
The first machine factory has a special branch, which produces tank caps, tank seats, etc., and the number of female workers in it is also the largest number of them.
This tank cap has been produced in China for many years, but it also has its disadvantages. The surface is fabric, which is very easy to fade after long-term storage or sun or rain. At the same time, the equipped headphones and telescope circuit is not qualified and is prone to oxidation.
The call is not working.
Therefore, while this tank hat was mass-produced and equipped, the domestic company designed and manufactured its own TMT-73 tank hat. Although it was called self-developed, it was actually no different from the Soviet soft tank hat, but the fabric was changed.
At the same time, a gum-sponge-protective and top guard were added above the cap cover, focusing on improving the domestic SH-091B occupant headset and a pair of SD-460B slag senders.
This set of equipment has greatly increased reliability. Until now, tanks, self-propelled artillery, etc. used in military parade equipment, these tank caps are used.
A soft tank cap can prevent tank hands from being injured when they collide inside, but there is a big flaw, that is, tank soldiers are not only inside the tank, but also need to come out.
The driver has to poke his head out to command, and the driver has to poke his head out to observe the road. This is very common before entering the war zone, and it is easy to become a target for the snipers of the enemy ambushing outside.
At the same time, even if you enter the war zone, the loader often needs to come out and operate the machine gun outside.
Tank caps can only prevent bumps and have no defense. Needless to mention special snipers, even stray bullets, fragments, or even the damage caused by the explosion reaction armor outside the tank is detonated, they are inconvenient.
In order to deal with this situation, some tank crew will prepare an infantry helmet in the tank and wear this helmet when they stick their heads out, but this is an emergency after all.
However, it is not convenient to prepare a helmet in the car. The helmet used by infantry is still very heavy. The most important thing is that this thing is not breathable. It is too hot to wear in summer. You have to guard the breathable hole in the helmet and stick your head out.
I got a bullet in such a place and it hits it directly into my head.
During World War II, the Americans developed the M1938 tank helmet from football helmets, which had holes and did not have too high defense.
After the end of World War II, with the advancement of technology, the Americans thought of a way to make the tank hat into two parts. The inside is soft and the outside is a hard shell. As a modular component, this hard shell is considered to be modular.
A model of thought, later, with Kevlar fiber bulletproof material, the light weight and strong protection power made, and later it gradually became the standard helmet for NATO tankers.
In fact, the most handsome tank hand is still from Germany. When the Russians wore a cool tank hat every day during World War II, the German tank hand was wearing a military cap directly, and then they added headphones and microphones.
Yes, that's so handsome.
The Germans are not afraid of kowtowing because the inside of their tanks is soft-packed, with leather and sponge linings inside. The Germans eventually lost the war. I am afraid that this factor is also true. The weapons they make are very particular.
In short, in this era, the West has begun to use hard helmets. In China, tank caps are still the main ones, so Qin Zhenhua specially purchased a batch and brought them over, first equipped them with the 80 tank troops, which is also new.
The tank is equipped with a new helmet.
The curious Liu Dajun put it on. Sure enough, it felt good, not heavy, very comfortable, and breathable. However, after wearing it, he still took it off.
"Brother Zhenhua, it's not appropriate to wear this thing during the military parade." Liu Dajun said.
The superiors have actually determined the main military parade equipment a long time ago. Although there is no detailed explanation on the tank hat, is it still necessary? It must be developed and produced independently.
What do the West think about wearing this thing to attend the military parade?
Qin Zhenhua smiled and said, "Of course it's not suitable. I just asked everyone to try to wear it. Then, the relevant branches of our first-machine factory will strive to absorb the technology of this tank hat and develop our new tank hat."
At the military parade, of course, if we had our own equipment, from large tanks to small tank caps!
From a long-term perspective, hard tank caps will inevitably become the mainstream in the future. In addition to being strong, they can also be compatible with new headphones and microphones. With the continuous development of tank technology, the noise inside the tank will gradually decrease.
The tank hand will eventually turn from the throat to the microphone to the mouth. The microphone is not easy to fix with a tank cap, so the helmet will be easily fixed.
Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new type of tank hat. Now try it out and see the advantages and disadvantages. We will consider how to imitate and improve it.
Although it is small, it also affects the combat effectiveness of tank soldiers.
"Okay." After hearing Qin Zhenhua's introduction, Liu Dajun immediately lost his psychological burden and greeted his subordinates: "Come here, one for each person! This is the tank hat used by Americans, the number one in the world! Only us
Only the Hero Company is qualified for equipment. Hey, why did you get two? Have you grown two heads?"
On the training ground of the military parade, the tank design institute, which was tens of kilometers away, was already in full swing under the leadership of Mr. Zhu. The design of related three-generation tanks has also been launched in full swing.
This time I went to the United States and saw the other party’s M1 tank, which was also very inspired. Some of the design concepts in it are also something that our side should refer to.
Combining East and West to create an advanced and modern main battle tank that is truly suitable for oneself!
The major countries in the world have entered the sequence of three generations of tanks. The country has been wasting a lot of time. Now, it is just about to catch up!
The Tank Design Institute has devoted itself to research and development with a sacred mission.
Time passed day by day, the hot summer left, the cool autumn came, and finally, that sacred and solemn moment came.
The military parade that makes people passionate, passionate, and proud of their strong motherland finally kicked off this National Day!
