From the original 1224 model car, to the later storm tank, and now, especially the 80 tanks from the National Day military parade have appeared. Some of the models have been tested on Lao Ba, so now, Lao Ba
Ba no longer hesitates.
purchase!
The 85 tank finally opened up its export sales and achieved a zero breakthrough!
59, 69, these tanks are all won by cheap prices. Apart from strengthening firepower, there is nothing else to show off, but the 85 tank is different!
It has abandoned the previous five-pair load wheels and adopted the structure of six-pair load wheels, which looks more modern. With the welding turret on it, it will be a completely modern tank, plus 125 mm
The tank gun and automatic loading machine are definitely at the world's advanced level. You can be fooled by taking it out.
The tank jointly developed must have been a certain amount of time and repeated twists and turns. It takes several years to truly equip the troops. Lao Ba naturally knows this. Is it here?
Have you been relying on five pairs of heavy wheels before?
Of course not, so I will purchase a batch of 85 tanks first and go back to fill in the scene.
So, 85 Tank, the first export business, was negotiated like this!
"This will be a huge project," said Berg. "We have a clear understanding of the investment in this project, and even if we pay a billion in costs, it is worth it."
It costs a lot of money to improve according to Lao Ba’s requirements. At the same time, it takes a lot of money to improve their tank overhaul until they have the ability to produce advanced tanks. Therefore, at this time, Berg
, expressed his determination with great enthusiasm, even if it cost a billion, it was worth it!
In 1974, Ah San started to build the Arqiong tank. At that time, it planned to spend 3.6 million yuan. According to the currency value at that time, it was already a sky-high price. However, so far, the prototype car has just come out and the cost has exceeded one billion.
, when it matures, it will probably take 200 to 300 billion.
Therefore, if you invest one billion, it is still within a range of affordable investment. After all, tanks are the main equipment of the army.
"Well, this project requires a name." Qin Zhenhua said: "What is the name of our joint development tank?"
"The new tank is called Khalid!" Berg made the decision.
This name has been brewing in his mind for a long time. A famous hero of Lao Ba named this most powerful tank after this person!
(As for MBT2000, that was later. After all, according to the plan, the equipment will be fixed in the 1990s. Why did you still call it 2000? Due to various reasons, it was delayed until 2000 to be considered formal equipment, so I got this
Number. Of course, the heroes of East China still like to call Khalid.)
Khalid tanks have a basic prototype and have reached a cooperation intention. The sales of 85 tanks and the modification of 59 tanks have also slowly begun.
"How about this 59 tank, after improvement, we named it the 59M1?"
"The whole project is called the P-711K project."
(Why is it called that? The East China Hero doesn't know, and you can't find these information. As for the Azara main battle tank, this name is more domineering. The East China Hero likes it very much, but this is already the later version of the 125mm cannon barrel.
, different from the current improvements.)
"Can the 59 tank be equipped with a larger caliber tank gun?" When the cooperation was roughly agreed, Parker raised this question again.
In Lao Ba’s equipment sequence, there are thousands of 59 tanks. Lao Ba will not throw away these tanks and need to be continuously improved. Now Parker has put forward this idea again.
Can the caliber be larger?
"Well, a larger caliber cannon must have greater recoil." Qin Zhenhua said: "In this case, the turret will have to be reinforced, otherwise it will be destroyed by recoil, and the weight of the entire tank will also increase.
There is not enough diesel engine.”
"Not enough? Then go to a bigger one. Don't you have a 730-horsepower diesel engine?" Parker asked.
That is used on six pairs of load-bearing wheels. If this is changed, the chassis of the 59 tank will probably be greatly modified.
Qin Zhenhua thought this way, and at this moment, he was still in a negative attitude. However, after the negotiations were over, this proposal kept turning around in Qin Zhenhua's mind.
So what about the big change? Isn’t the Jaguar Tank project a big change? The experience learned in this project can be used to improve our 59 tank, exchange for a 730-horsepower diesel engine, and weld it outside the turret to be a bluff
Isn’t it more majestic to install a large caliber cannon in the shell? Maybe, you can scare the enemy away when you go out?
In the first machine factory, Lao Ba's inspection team stayed for three days. In the past, this was simply impossible. Various projects were even refined. Lao Ba was serious, and Lao Ba was serious.
He is also quite enthusiastic about work.
On the third day, Lao Ba asked to go to the Second Machine Factory together.
Several years have passed, and Xie Huimin's forehead has gradually turned white. The first generation of military workers have begun to grow old. Only products are still pursuing the forefront of the times!
125mm tank gun!
It was the first time Qin Zhenhua saw this tank gun, and then he was stunned.
What did you see?
This tank gun has been assembled and live ammunition testing has begun on the test field of the Second Machine Factory.
The test was on a fixed platform, and the equipment installed with tank guns looked like a simulated turret. Qin Zhenhua had seen this test platform, and now, it can attract him all at once.
Gun barrel!
It is not how thick the barrel is or how long the barrel is, but the layers of shells are placed there like bamboo joints.
Hot sheath!
During the military parade, we used asbestos thermal sheath, which was thick and bulky, and the circles of clamps were the most obvious feature.
What about now? This tank gun now has a beautiful shell. The outside should be a hollow mezzanine made of light metal, right?
"What are you looking at?" Xie Huimin asked Qin Zhenhua with a smile.
“Hot sheath!”
"Oh, that's the latest aluminum alloy developed by us." Xie Huimin said: "The process of this thermal sheath was created by a young man who entered the factory last year. Zhenhua, he has your style.
