How is this possible? Do they have a prototype car?
Qin Zhenhua was quite surprised. The most important main product of this International Defense Exhibition is naturally the king of land warfare, that is, tanks. However, the main battle tanks are also the aces of various mainstream industrial powers and their trump card. They have no intention of putting them in the game.
I brought my trump card with me.
Whether it is Leopard-2, M1, or Challenger, they do not intend to show it on their own, but what about the French? The French actually want to bring Leclerc tanks here?
This shocked Qin Zhenhua too much. While shocking, there was another question: their tanks had not been developed at all. The prototype car had not been built yet, right? What did they show it?
With such questions, Qin Zhenhua watched the French transport convoy coming.
It seems to be a show-off. The French did not have a tarpaulin at all. Anyway, the distance from the port to here is only more than 200 kilometers. They just exposed themselves on the trailer and dragged them over. Along the way, they probably attracted a lot.
Human eyeballs.
This tank still looks full of modern atmosphere.
From the side, the overall shape is very compact, about one meter shorter than other Western tanks, and looks more refined. There are six pairs of load-bearing wheels below, and under the cover of the side skirts, it looks even more unique: wide
Under the cover of the side skirt, you can only see about a quarter of the lower part of the load-bearing wheel. No tank can do this covering method yet.
However, Qin Zhenhua was soon attracted by the turret above. Just like in the design drawing, the turret also looks quite alternative, low and flat, and the armor in front is neither as straight as the Leopard-2.
It was not tilted like the Challenger and M1, but a little smoother over-examination. It looked a bit similar to a cast turret. Of course, the welds during the transition still meant that this was a welded turret.
The most attractive thing is the obviously large sight lens next to the huge cannon shield.
If his wife Xiaoyu was here, she would be envious of this fire control system.
The most powerful fire control system in this era!
At present, the most mature domestic fire control system is the light spot injection type, which is widely used in tanks such as 59, 69, and 79. The main operator is the gunman, who drives the scope to aim and track the target and measure the range by controlling the gun.
After the computer calculates the shooting elements, it drives a cathode ray tube in the scope to generate a light spot to project it into the scope field of view. After the gunner aims at the target with the light spot, he can shoot. Although he uses a ballistic computer, it is just
Just a simple optical aiming system.
On the tanks of our own 80, 85, 88, our own technology has finally developed a trans-stabilized fire control system. This scope is independent and stable. The gunner controls the scope, tracks the target, and the artillery follows the
Aiming line. This method has the ability to shoot dynamically, but it is still a kind of backward.
For the West, there was no research and development of trans-stabilizing images at all, so I jumped directly to the trans-stabilizing system. The biggest feature of this system is that the driver has his own viewing and aiming system, which can be observed independently.
Precisely instruct the target to the gunner, and even surpass the gunner to shoot directly.
The Leclerc tank in front of you is this kind of fire control system.
There are sighting devices on the left and right sides of the cannon shield. The one on the left is a cylindrical shape, exposed high, like an upside-down urine bucket. The one on the right is lower and the lenses are revealed.
The purple light appears to have an indescribable beauty.
Because each has independent and excellent observation devices, when fighting, the gunner can use a sight to fight a target with the main gun, the commander can give up the current gaze to attack and use his independent sight to search for the next one.
Target, in this way, after the current target is finished, the next target has been determined. The gunner presses the button and automatically turns the turret to the new target and strikes the next target.
This efficiency is obviously much higher. In addition, there is another important advantage, that is, when the gunner is aiming, the captain discovers another more valuable target, such as a tank aiming at them, he
It can even surpass the gun captain and directly operate the main gun to aim at a new target.
This is the most powerful fire control system, far exceeding one's own side. Because it only has one sight, when the gunner aims at the target, the commander has no chance to search for other nearby situations. At this time, if someone attacks the target, the commander will not be able to do so.
, I could only force myself to go to the side, and what about Leclerc's tank? I found someone sneak attacking, and I could turn the turret to fight back at any time.
Of course, this kind of hunting capability is a must-have for our third-generation tanks. Therefore, there are many difficulties in developing our third-generation tanks. Not only advanced high-power engines, but also a focus of research and development.
.
Qin Zhenhua was in a daze at the tank, and at this time, someone was already greeting him: "Crane, crane!"
What? Crane?
Qin Zhenhua was a little surprised. After the tank got on the trailer, wouldn’t it be enough to just start it off by himself? Why do you still need a crane?
The arrangement of the exhibition will inevitably involve the shipment of some large items. There are cranes on the site, but the largest crane of fifty tons is hanging other equipment at this time.
"I'm sorry, we have to wait a moment." Qin Zhenhua said to the person in charge from France: "I don't care about the fifty-ton crane for the time being."
The Leclerc tank is said to weigh more than fifty tons, but it is full of oil and bullets. Now, there should be no fifty tons of exhibition cars like this.
A fifty-ton crane can be hung on a flat road for fifty tons. The distance is not too far, so there is no problem. Otherwise, it would probably be a seventy-ton or even a hundred-ton crane.
"Fifty tons? It doesn't have to be that big. It's enough to have a crane of thirty tons." Pierre replied there.
Thirty tons? Qin Zhenhua frowned: "Sir, this is a violation of the operating procedures. Although we can lift equipment that exceeds the limit weight, if something unexpected happens..."
"No, no, its weight is less than twenty tons, and a crane of thirty tons is perfect," Pierre said.
What? This thing is less than twenty tons? Isn't that a shell? Qin Zhenhua was quite surprised when he heard this. Then, he looked at the tank again. The appearance of this tank was quite beautiful. It is said that
What is high on low infrared/low-visual camouflage resin coating, but, from here, it seems that it is visible that the rear engine compartment seems to be vacant.
