"First, let me introduce it to you from the turret." Mr. Zhu took the model and showed it, then put it down again, then grabbed it with his hands and actually grabbed the turret!
"The main armor is placed horizontally in front of the turret, rather than inclined at a large angle of Soviet-style tanks, so that the thickness of the armor is the same anywhere on the front is the same, and there will be no thinner the thickness of the armor toward the center. We pursue
Although the cast turret has strong frontal protection capabilities, it has poor ability to deal with top attacks. After that, we can find that in the threats faced by tanks, strikes from the top will become more and more common. We must
Consider the threats you face later.”
This model is really exquisitely made. After working hard, the turret can be taken out!
The turret turned over and Mr. Zhu introduced: "The overall structure of our self-developed 125mm tank gun is very similar to that of the Soviet Union's 2A46 tank gun. The automatic loader is the same, and it uses two push-in to enter.
way.”
The inside is made more exquisitely, but unfortunately it doesn't look intuitive. It would be great if you made a slide! Qin Zhenhua thought secretly in his heart.
Take a cannon as an example. What material and process of the cannon tube are used is very important, which directly determines the performance of a tank gun. But at the same time, there are other things, how to solve the loading method of the tail of the cannon tube, the cannon
What is the structure of the tail of the tube is very important.
"As for this cannon shield," Mr. Zhu shook the model and continued: "We also plan to go our own path."
The M1 tank I saw last time was a common cannon shield in the West. However, its own cannon shield still retains the tradition of Soviet tanks in appearance. I can't see that huge cannon shield, but the protection is not weak at all.
A new structure appeared around the shaft and behind the cannon shield.
"We can call it the third type of armor, or fixed gun shield, which can have the same protective effect as the Western cannon shield and protect the gap between the main armor and the artillery installation hole, but it is not like the Western cannon shield.
Move with the barrel.”
In any tank design, the cannon shield is actually a key point. This is the most skill-oriented and tests the designer's skills. Now, the cannon shield introduced by Mr. Zhu is definitely a comprehensive combination of the common characteristics of the East and the West. This novelty
The solution is that the thickness of the armor is similar to that of the main armor, and the plug-in gun shield in front completely solves the problem of the weakness of the third generation of tank gun shields. At the same time, there will be no huge bullet zone like the Western gun shields.
Of course, there are still weaknesses, such as some of which will continue to affect the pitch of the main gun, but this compromise is already the best solution.
Turret, automatic loader, and various designs have been introduced, which is the chassis.
"We plan to adopt a longitudinal diesel engine solution. The current design is based on the data of the existing Black Panther diesel engine." Zhu Lao continued: "This facilitates lifting of the entire power system unit, and it is easy to replace it in the field.
We used to advocate that people should adapt to machines, but now we need to consider the convenience of operation."
"In the front, we moved the cockpit to the middle, so that this is the most suitable driving position, and the operation of our tankers will be simpler and more efficient. We plan to use the steering wheel operation plan..."
The experience of developing second-generation tanks and foreign trade tanks in the first machine factory has greatly broadened Mr. Zhu's horizons. Now, the planned tanks are almost planned according to the latest concepts and latest standards. It can be said that
This can meet the standards of third-generation tanks and achieve the indicators proposed by the troops. Of course, it will also face the problem of greatly increasing technical difficulties.
"Finally, the research and development of the third-generation tank will face great difficulties, so I suggest that our tank should pay more attention to the role of the factory in its research and development, and give full play to the advantages of the factory's combination." Zhu Lao Taotao
After talking for more than an hour, I introduced all the details, and finally mentioned this issue.
The Tank Design Institute and the Tank Factory should not be isolated. Everyone should unite and cooperate with each other to achieve the leapfrog development of the third generation of tanks!
Now, there has been a big change from before. The first machine factory will not bid for the third generation tank project. The first machine factory still has a lot of scientific research work waiting. Therefore, the main research is still the tank design institute. This is the black
There is no doubt that, then it is certain that the factory and tank design are combined as the main body.
Secondly, Zhu Lao worked in the first machine factory for several years and has a good relationship with the first machine factory. There are also a large number of technical backbones in the tank design office, and they also came out of the first machine factory. Therefore, now everyone is working together, absolutely
They will be intimate.
"Okay, we thank Mr. Zhu for his explanation. Now, for this project, you can ask any questions or any better suggestions."
This is also a process within the system. It is a foregone conclusion that the tank design will dominate the entire design. However, this is not entirely determined by the tank design. Everyone present is the most professional.
You may see some of these problems.
Now, Mr. Yu is presided over the meeting again. Speaking of these things, looking down, someone soon raised questions.
"When we were just introducing it, we didn't hear too many opinions on armor protection. How should this tank do it if it wants to meet the military's indicators?"
The army required a level of 600 mm of kinetic energy armor-piercing bombs in the early stage, which was already the first echelon in the entire world. What does the tank design institute rely on to ensure that this goal is achieved?
Today's tanks cannot reach a physical thickness of several hundred millimeters, and such an iron lump cannot be opened at all. After using composite armor, the conversion method will be adopted, what is the equivalent thickness, and anti-armor piercing bombs and breaking
The equivalent thickness of the armor shell is different because the physical destruction methods are different.
But now, this indicator is still too high. When Mr. Zhu introduced it, he didn't say much about this.
"Well, first of all, it depends on the weight of our tank. After amplification to fifty tons, our weight will increase, and the weight that can be used for armor protection will be even greater. On the other hand, we also look forward to our relevant departments and brother units.
The technology has been made breakthroughs." Mr. Zhu said after pondering.
Tank Design Institute, regardless of armor development, they are also looking forward to the research and development of their brother units.
"Brother's unit?" At this moment, the sound below was not loud, but it made everyone hear it: "You still know the brother's unit? What projects can the brother's unit get?"
