Qin Zhenhua will not be overwhelmed by any joy. He is very self-aware and can clearly understand the status quo at any time.
The export intention is already available now, but this does not mean that it will be successful. After all, the weapons of those countries are mainly made in the US.
What would Americans have? Will they look at this fat into their mouths? The helplessness on Ibrahim's face at that time showed how much Americans had the say in them.
Therefore, we must be prepared. What we rely on? It depends on strong strength.
With a 45-caliber 155mm gun, it is just the firepower, but for a self-propelled gun, it is not enough to have a fierce firepower.
M109 is just a rough model, with different suffixes at the end. There are also big differences in the suffixes.
There was no big change from A1 to A4. When it came to A5, it was replaced with a new 39-caliber howitzer, engine, etc., which was considered a major improvement. Now, when it was upgraded to the A6 model
The key to improving is the electronic system.
In addition to finally adding a semi-automatic ammunition loading system to increase the continuous firing rate, it is equipped with advanced automatic firing control system, global positioning/navigation system system, single-frequency ground-to-air radio system, artillery automatic firing control system, etc. So, this time
The main improvement is the upgrade of electronic systems.
In the past, artillery could not fight independently, and it must be combined with the superior shooting command vehicle to fight. This A6 model can directly obtain shooting commands from a single-frequency ground-to-air radio system. The shooting control system quickly calculates various shooting parameters and follows the automatic
Adjust the pitch angle and shooting angle of the artillery, complete the shooting independently, and the time can be controlled within one minute.
These are the latest technical standards of the M109A6. Of course, it is still being improved and these projects have not been completed. Our side also needs to improve according to this standard. In this way, when the Americans push their howitzers out, our side will also
Be able to continue to maintain advantages or equality in various technologies and not fall behind.
Now, after hearing Qin Zhenhua say so much, Xie Huimin felt that his head was about to explode. I'm afraid we can't handle these things!
Especially the global positioning system, there is no such thing as China now!
"Zhenhua, we are afraid that we do not have the strength to do the subsequent improvements you mentioned." Xie Huimin said with a frown.
"With the development of technology, the trend of electronicization and informatization will definitely come. If we don't start doing it now, we will fall behind in the future." Qin Zhenhua said: "If the times want to abandon us, they will not say hello to us. Only
Only by working hard can I catch up with it. My plan is to set up a special department to be responsible for the development of these projects. Do you have any ideas to invest the profits obtained from exporting self-propelled artillery this time?
”
Xie Huimin nodded: "Of course, we believe in you."
It's so easy? Qin Zhenhua was a little surprised. I want to take all your profits. You just agreed?
"Follow you Qin Zhenhua, then we will have meat to eat." Xie Huimin said: "Our second machine factory has figured it out. The more investment it is now, the more reward you will get in the future. At worst, we will continue to tighten our belts and we will only be able to do so in the future.
If you have a good life, you will listen to you."
This blind trust also moved Qin Zhenhua. Xie Huimin said that he had reached this level. What else can he say? Keep doing it.
Vehicle electronic technology must be developed. After all, this trend in the West has begun to become more and more obvious, especially the global positioning system, once it is used, it has great benefits. Especially for the military.
Say, there are more benefits.
It’s a pity that those satellites are all from the United States.
"Then let's decide. We will do the modification matters in the first machine factory. Your second machine factory mainly builds guns. I suggest that you can continue to develop 155mm guns."
Continue to develop?
Xie Huimin was a little confused again. Qin Zhenhua's ideas have always been higher than others, and others often cannot keep up.
What is he thinking?
"Continue to increase the diameter." Qin Zhenhua said: "It is now 45 diameters, which has shown an overwhelming advantage over 39 diameters. We can win the favor of foreign customers because of the advantage of range. We want to make this happen.
The advantages continue to develop. Your second machine factory will try to improve the process. If you can get 52 times the diameter, the range will probably be greatly improved."
In China, there is an unusual persistence in extending the barrel. Take our 105mm tank gun for example. In order to avoid export restrictions, a barrel was added. Then, in order to increase firepower, another barrel was added.
length.
The shells are fired by firing medicine. When the shells are fired, you can see the flames burning at the muzzle. In fact, those are wasteful launch energy. If you want to continue to use this energy, you must continue to increase the cannon.
The length of the tube.
This is the case with tank guns, and naturally howitzers are like this. Qin Zhenhua suggested that they increase the caliber to 52 times. Although it is just a personal suggestion, it is in line with the ideas of the domestic army.
After all, the army has not shown recognition of the current 155mm howitzer. If it wants to gain recognition from the army, it has to continue to improve, leaving the army speechless and let them rush over to come.
"Also, for our ammunition supply vehicle, please ask the first-machine factory to take the lead." Xie Huimin continued.
This time, the 155mm gun was in full swing. At that time, there were supporting bullet supply vehicles in the introduction, which was also an innovation.
However, this thing is still a bit of a horoscope. There are more difficulties in combining it with your own self-propelled howitzer. These projects are simply left to the first machine factory for preparation.
Leave professional projects to professionals.
Qin Zhenhua shook his head helplessly: "Uncle Xie, you are going to be the bosses."
"Of course not, this should be called a strong alliance." Xie Huimin said: "We all have what we are good at. In order to win the lead in international exports, we should have a strong alliance at home. It is said that the superiors also have one.
This means, Zhenhua, if you have to live one machine factory and one factory, you have to think about everyone. At least, our second machine factory is definitely not a drag."
