Chapter 953 The Future of the Type 86 Infantry Fighting Vehicle
Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle was once a project proposed by Qin Zhenhua: surveying and mapping and imitating BMP infantry fighting vehicle was meaningful under the circumstances at that time, but after a few years, when this project was developed, it was already
Being behind, this can only be a sigh that the plan cannot keep up with the changes.
"The biggest problem with this infantry fighting vehicle is weapons." Qin Zhenhua analyzed. Although he did not communicate much with the designers of these 86 infantry fighting vehicles, he just wanted to look at the mainstream infantry fighting vehicles in the world.
By the trend, you can know the problem of this infantry fighting vehicle.
"The weapon system of this infantry fighting vehicle is completely inconsistent with modern combat needs." Qin Zhenhua said: "This infantry fighting vehicle uses the WA312 73mm low-pressure smoothbore gun. If specifically, this is a simple
The launch tube and the imitation PR-9 rocket extended-range bomb are composed of. The performance of this gun is seriously insufficient. Although it has a certain anti-armor capability, it is powerless in the face of composite armor and explosive reaction armor. Moreover, the most annoying thing is that
The loading problem is that the artillery must be raised every time the shell is loaded, so that the gunner cannot use the first round to correct the shooting elements of the second round that will fire the shells, greatly reducing the firing performance of the artillery."
This kind of cannon is unique in the world. It's just like this, and it was copied soon, because it's not difficult at all. Isn't it just a large rocket launcher?
Because the fire control system is backward, the shooting accuracy is very poor. Since the shells use rocket boosting solutions, as a large RPG, it is quite affected by cross wind and is often blown by cross wind during flight.
.
The army would be damn if it could like it.
"Besides, now, the mainstream infantry fighting vehicles in the world have begun to use small-caliber rapid-fire cannons." Qin Zhenhua continued to introduce.
The wheeled infantry fighting vehicle produced by our side used 25mm machine guns. At that time, he showed a versatile role on the battlefield and could do almost anything.
There is no need to compare with other countries. In the near future, the Type 89 infantry fighting vehicle that the island country will be equipped with and the M2/3 "Bradley" infantry fighting vehicle stationed in the 8th Army of the US Army in the Kimchi Grove all use 25 to 35 mm caliber
As the main weapon, the machine gun is equipped with artillery stabilization devices and advanced fire control systems.
Although the caliber is not large, in terms of armor-piercing ability, it is definitely a stable and stable pressure on such an old Soviet 73mm low-combustion artillery. If it comes to continuous shooting ability, it is even more powerful.
"In other words, if we transplant a turret over, we will gain the favor of the army? In this case, how about we transplant the turrets on our wheeled infantry fighting vehicles?" Pan Dahai said.
Although I was very unhappy, when discussing the specific technical details, Pan Dahai still thought carefully and changed wherever there was a shortage. Since the problem was in this kind of artillery system, then just use your own side
It's ready-made, isn't there a one-machine factory?
Wang Gang frowned a little. Will the Yimai Factory agree? Will he ask for money?
"Our 25mm machine gun also has many problems." Qin Zhenhua said: "Now, we should look at the international community and find suitable machine guns to install from the international community, so that we can upgrade to the world's advanced level in one fell swoop.
”
It’s not that Qin Zhenhua refused to give it, it’s that he knew that his 25mm machine cannon was not very good, and now he has to target the world’s advanced level.
"This is probably a big deal. It costs money to introduce it." Wang Gang said.
How could the foreigners give it to their side for no reason if they introduce it abroad? Now, what everyone lacks is money.
What you say is vain.
"Have you heard of our Jaguar Project?" Qin Zhenhua asked.
Jaguar? After hearing Qin Zhenhua's words, Wang Gang reacted: "You mean, let's do it with foreigners and then do foreign trade together?"
Qin Zhenhua nodded vigorously: "Actually, the largest market for our Type 86 infantry fighting vehicles is not in China, but abroad."
It's about foreign trade. When Qin Zhenhua proposed this infantry fighting vehicle, it was also out of the idea of making money through foreign trade. However, not all factories have this ability. Now, they only want to use the troops, but the troops do not.
When they fell in love with them, they were stunned.
"We have thought about doing foreign trade, too." Wang Gang said: "But our infantry fighting vehicle is already behind the times. After all, the Soviet BMP infantry fighting vehicle is about to develop to the third generation."
Now the ones we surveyed and mapped are nothing more than BMP-1. The Soviet BMP-2 has been used for six or seven years and has been replaced by many armies. The updated BMP-3 is also about to emerge.
Those who are willing to equip the Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle must be traditional users of the Soviet Union. Do we have the ability to compete with the Soviet Union?
It must be a competition!
Qin Zhenhua nodded: "Yes, if you export the complete vehicle, there will be some problems. However, you can change your idea: if you don't export the complete vehicle, you can export the parts."
Export parts?
The Soviet Union has transitioned to BMP-2 and is about to enter the era of BMP-3. In many countries, it is still equipped with an astonishing number of BMP-1s. To ensure the combat readiness and training of these BMP-1s, it is necessary to store a large amount of them.
When they imported spare parts, there were a large number of spare parts, but they also had to be consumed during use.
They could certainly continue importing from the Soviet Union, but if there were better and cheaper options, they would definitely be willing to do so.
Qin Zhenhua's words opened up a new path for them.
Our products are imitated by surveying and mapping, and are almost exactly the same. Although the engines used are different, they can be completely replaced.
So, seize this opportunity now and go to countries that are equipped with BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles to lobby. We will export whatever they want.
For example, turret components, engine-transmission components, air filters and other large components, as well as consumable components such as tracks, torsion bars, and load-bearing wheels. This way, although it is not as beautiful as the whole vehicle's export, it is actually quite profitable.
More importantly, this method can make the factory restless. Even if there is no domestic order, it can maintain the 86-step production line and retain the most important large number of technologies and production backbones.
As long as the factory can persevere, there will be hope!
Perhaps at the beginning, some people had opinions about Qin Zhenhua, but now, no one will really complain about anything. After all, Qin Zhenhua pointed out a way to live, allowing them to see the future again.
