"This turret looks very good, it has the style of an M1 tank turret." In the first machine factory, Lao Ba's inspection team came to the first machine factory. The 85 tank had been painted with brand new yellow paint.
Standing proudly in the chill of early spring.
Generally speaking, domestic tanks are sprayed into grass green. The painting of this tank is now very friendly to users in desert areas, so, needless to say, it is a tank that focuses on foreign trade.
"Yes, our Type 85 tank uses the latest developed turret, which not only takes care of the smooth bulletproof appearance, but also takes care of the use of composite armor. It also adds a tailstock behind the turret, this turret, condenses
The hard work of our designers.”
The turret of the 80 tank has no tent, so when it comes to the hillside, it is difficult to turn because it is not worthy. Now, this newly developed 85 tank has added tent, although it is not particularly large.
, but it can already be trimmed to a certain extent, so it is naturally more convenient to use.
Due to the extra tents, even the number of shells has increased. There can be several shells stuffed there. If it were a large turret in the West, it could be stuffed with more than 20 pieces, it is the main storage location of shells.
It's right.
Berg nodded, agreeing with the design, and then turned his attention to the engine at the rear: "How is the game system used in this tank?"
"It's the same as the 80 tanks in the military parade." Qin Zhenhua introduced: "The 800-horsepower diesel engine and semi-automatic transmission, if necessary, can be operated by the steering wheel. The entire power system has been tested for a long time and can be guaranteed to be high enough.
reliability."
"Did the chassis of this tank develop from the chassis of the T-72 tank?" Parker asked.
Hearing this, Qin Zhenhua shook his head helplessly: "Sir, it's not the first time we've come to our first machine factory. The question raised by us is very helpless."
In the eyes of many people, the great oriental countries only know how to survey, map and imitate, and will not innovate themselves. If any new thing comes out, people with ulterior motives will always find a foreign father for it.
It is said that the engine is imitating Germany, the main gun is imitating the Soviet Union, and the chassis is imitating the T-72. It seems that the Eastern powers can do nothing except imitate it.
"I'll introduce it to you." Qin Zhenhua continued: "We have started the research and development of the 122 series tanks since the 1960s. Over the years, we have been working tirelessly to develop six different types of tanks from 1221 to 1226. Your side has been working hard to develop six types of tanks.
If you are interested, you can take you to visit the tank prototypes that we have completed the test run later. Among them, the 1223 model is the 80 tank that has been finalized and put into service. As for the 85 tank in front of us, it is from the 1226 model car.
After the Storm Tank, what evolved from this is our own technology."
Since we want to compare with the T-72 tank, Qin Zhenhua must say carefully: "From the chassis, the Soviet T-72 uses a 780-horsepower supercharged engine and a double-sided gearbox. We
The 800-horsepower turbocharged engine and semi-automatic hydraulic transmission are completely different in power systems. From the front, the T-72's cab is in the middle, and ours is on the left. As for this turret, there is nothing comparable.
.”
"Yes, there is a big difference from the T-72." Parker said: "We still admire your R&D capabilities. So, are you interested? Join us to develop a specialized one.
A third generation tank that adapts to our country?”
Jointly developed with you? Or a third-generation tank?
When Qin Zhenhua heard this, he only felt his heart beating.
Everyone knows that Lao Ba has the idea of self-development, but this time it is proposed, which means that Lao Ba has made up his mind?
Joint research and development, but Lao Ba’s own technical capabilities are quite limited, so this so-called joint research and development model will become Lao Ba’s money and one-machine factory produces technology. If this is the case, then the foreign trade tank will also
There is no need to raise funds for self-financing, Lao Ba has already invested.
Of course we are satisfied with one hundred. Besides, our 85 tank is here. Based on this tank, just improve it.
Qin Zhenhua was so excited that he could not say, but he still looked calm and composed: "Okay, no problem, what are your standards?"
"In terms of performance data, all T-72 tanks must be suppressed." Berg said.
"If this is the case, our current 85 tank will be able to do it." Qin Zhenhua said confidently.
If we pull out the T-72 tank and compare it with the 85 tank, we are definitely not inferior.
In this way, the 85 tank can be sold directly.
"No, no, we are still not satisfied with this tank, especially its tank guns." Berg said: "How far has your 125mm tank gun progressed?"
"At present, our existing 105mm tank gun has an armor-piercing capability that is definitely not inferior to the T-72 tank exported by the Soviet Union. We have tested this a few years ago, even we
The smoothbore gun of the 69 tank and the special armor-piercing shells are all better than the T-72 armor-piercing shells." Qin Zhenhua said: "However, we understand your idea of a thicker gun barrel, and what we see in front of us.
When designing the 85 tank, space for installing 125mm guns was reserved. Our brothers have also made the sample guns and have started to be tested. Therefore, if you need them, it is estimated that the end of the year.
, there will be a mature 125mm tank gun installed on our tanks."
When testing a cannon, you have to shoot tens of thousands of shots at any time, which is completely burned with money. However, if you don’t test it, you will not be able to grasp the real performance of the cannon, so time is also needed.
"Although we haven't started testing yet, we can be sure that the 125mm tank gun we produced in our own production is definitely stronger than the 125mm tank gun equipped by the Soviet T-72 tank."
Qin Zhenhua still has this confidence. After all, the medicine room is bigger than theirs and the craftsmanship is more advanced than theirs. What is the real limit is determined by test shots.
"So, what about the automatic loader?" Parker continued.
125mm tank gun, automatic loader, these questions have already outlined the outline of the tank that Lao Ba wants to jointly develop. In short, what does the T-72 have? What does this joint development tank have to do?
