Chapter 447: China's "Chobham" Armor

Most of the Negotiators of the Gage Cinda Company standing in the corridor were indeed very unfamiliar with the seemingly strange term "hunter-annihilation" fire control system, because in their impression, there were no more than two kinds of fire control systems for tank armored vehicles:

Either the original fire control system with slightly inferior performance, such as the Soviet T-55, and the Chinese Type 59, the system is only equipped with a simple artillery stabilizer with optical sights, and the shooter in the tank armored vehicle needs to manually determine the target and set the ruler, and control the gun to aim and fire through the scope, this fire control system can also be said to be its main function is completed by the shooter, the shooter's brain is a simple ballistic computer, at this time the tank armored vehicle can only shoot between stops and short stops.

Either it is called a simple fire control system, and the fire control system of tank armored vehicles currently equipped on a large scale, such as the T-62 and T-72 tanks of the Soviet Union, and the early models of the M60 tank in the United States are installed with this fire control system, which mainly uses rangefinders, simple ballistic computers, sensors, and artillery stabilizers.

This kind of fire control system can already automatically measure the data, calculate the shooting element, set the aiming angle and direction advance under the control of the shooter, and the shooter only needs to accurately aim at the target again to launch, this system gives the tank armored vehicle a higher shooting accuracy and a certain range of shooting ability between the march, so that the combat effectiveness of the tank armored vehicle has been greatly improved.

Of course, with the rapid development of the computer field, especially the wide application of large-scale integrated circuits, and the increasing accuracy of optical processing, the major military powers, especially the major Western military powers that have always been in the leading position in the field of microelectronics and precision machining, have not satisfied the capabilities of the simple fire control system, and have continuously improved and upgraded it. On the basis of it, a set of disturbance fire control system was developed.

Typical Western second-generation tanks, such as the M60A3, the British "Challenger" 1 that has just completed the development of the prototype, and the Type 74 tank independently developed by Japan are equipped with a disturbance fire control system, which optimizes the ability to observe and calculate the target and the shooting element within the normal engagement distance, and limits the first hit rate of the tank armored vehicle against stationary and moving targets during the march.

Although the fire control system is based on the simple fire control system upgraded. But it is indeed the world's most outstanding tank armored vehicle fire control system known at present, not to mention that the fire control system has also been tested by the M60A3 tank in the hands of Israel, and its excellent performance has left the Soviet Union far behind.

Perhaps some of these people know that the Leopard 2 tank that has just entered service in Germany is equipped with a new fire control system, which can be called the pinnacle of the current fire control system for tank armored vehicles, but even so, these people are very unfamiliar with the "hunt-annihilation" fire control system in the mouth of the Chinese technician in the rustic Zhongshan suit, and some people are even laughing at it in their hearts, these Chinese are also making some tricks in their names, and in essence, they can reach the primary level of the simple fire control system is already favored by God.

However, when they see the top boss. When the reaction of Paulson, the chief negotiator of the Gage Cinda Company of the United States, who was solely responsible for the negotiations on China affairs, the ridicule in everyone's hearts immediately came to naught, especially when they saw Paulson's surprised gaze, stunned expression, and somewhat stiff body, anyone could guess that this "hunt-annihilation" fire control system in the mouth of the Chinese technician was absolutely not simple.

In fact, it is true that the "hunter-annihilation" fire control system is indeed not simple, because it is the fire control system of the improved M1A1 main battle tank of the M1 tank that the United States has just installed. The fire control system, which is now being jointly developed by a number of arms companies, including Gage Cinda, is still under secrecy. Only a technical executive like Paulson knew a thing or two, not even Phelps, who was in charge of marketing, let alone the rank-and-file staff below.

It is precisely because Paulson knows the importance of this fire control system that he can't believe his ears when he hears that Chinese technicians are studying the specific details of this system, knowing that even a superpower like the United States has always been leading in the field of fire control systems. This system has only completed the theoretical verification stage and has just entered the maturity stage.

However, from the mouth of the unsightly and ordinary-dressed Chinese technician just now, Paulson heard that a set of "hunter-annihilation" fire control system plans that are as complete and mature as the United States are, and even that the working principle, operation mode, and even manufacturing process of the entire system are exactly the same as those of the United States.

"How is this possible? How is this possible? How is it possible that China has such capabilities? It is impossible. Absolutely impossible!" After Paulson stiffened for a moment, his head full of brown hair shook like a rattle, and he couldn't believe what he had heard, but what he said just now really couldn't be faked, not to mention that he himself was engaged in technology, and not only that, he also participated in the initial development of the "hunt-annihilation" fire control system, so he had a deep understanding of this system, and it was not a simple one or two broad concepts that could deceive him, a senior expert.

However, what the Chinese technician said is not a broad concept or a bluffing theory, but a practical implementation plan, from the principle to the method, from the tactical characteristics to the specific operation, from the component composition to the production process, and even the relevant manufacturers related to the specific implementation of production, the technician has mentioned, and this also makes Paulson, who has always despised China's technical capabilities, very shocked, stunned:

"How is this possible!"

"Mr. Paulson, Mr. Paulson" I don't know how long it took, Phelps's eager call sounded in Paulson's ears, and it was only then that Paulson came to his senses slightly, and Phelps saw that Paulson had come back to his senses, so he asked with concern:

"Mr. Paulson, what the hell is wrong with you? Could it be that the Chinese technician just said that such a fabricated fire control system really exists?"

"Nonsense, fabrication, real existence?" Paulson asked three serious questions in succession, telling Phelps that he didn't know how to respond, and Paulson saw that Phelps was speechless, and suddenly smiled miserably on his face:

"The fire control system that the Chinese technician just mentioned is exactly the same as the new fire control system that we are developing and which is in a state of secrecy.

"Ah~~ How is this possible?" Hearing Paulson's words, Phelps's bull's eyes suddenly widened, if there were no eye sockets to block, the two eyeballs could be popped out ten meters away in an instant, and several active muscles on the fat face were beating involuntarily, and the two expressions of shock and astonishment suddenly covered the previous contempt and disdain, and then intertwined with each other, showing an uncertain and unpredictable complex expression on his face:

"Mr. Paulson, you can be sure"

"I promise God!" said Paulson, sighing slightly, and Phelps fell directly into the previous Powell's stiffness, not only Phelps, but also the other Negotiators of Gage Cinda Company standing next to him, but at this moment, a deep but not steady voice came from the small lounge again, and it could be seen from the crack in the open door that it was a middle-aged man with a unique temperament produced by the combination of unruly and generous and rigorous style.

Especially the inappropriate suit, which makes this complex temperament vividly reflected, but as a group of Americans standing in the corridor, the middle-aged temperament and dress are not what they care about, what they want to know is the content of the middle-aged man's speech, of course, the translator at this time does not need to be reminded, and consciously acts as a human flesh repeater:

"I wish the chief division, our armor system has also been improved according to your requirements"

"Then tell me about it, Xiao Zhu!"

"According to your requirements, we used finite element analysis calculations to analyze and test different materials, and finally we came up with a set of theoretical systems, which can also be called theoretical models, the basic feature is that the deformation of the armor and the movement of the sandwich material can be used to cut and destroy the intrusive armor-piercing projectile core or armor-piercing projectile jet, that is, when the armor is invaded, the armor of the invaded part moves inward under the buffer of the buffer material, and forms an expansion zone"

Before he could finish listening to this, Paulson's body began to tremble involuntarily, his brown pupils bulged outward, and the flickering light was full of incredible expressions, and Phelps, who was standing next to him, saw Paulson's expression, and his originally heavy heart sank down a few times, but he still couldn't help asking:

"Mr. Paulson, could this theory be?"

"That's right, it's the core secret principle of composite armor that Britain provided to us a few years ago - the 'expansion reaction' theory!"

"Could it be the British Chobham armor?" Phelps was no stranger to armor, and pointed out the mystery in one sentence, but both his tone and expression were indescribably shocked, and Paulson nodded with a wry smile on his almost mournful countenance:

"That's right, it's Chobham armor, and it's China's Chobham armor!"

As soon as Paulson's words ended, all the Americans present immediately fell into a shock. )
