How good can the performance of the 426 be with five pairs of load-bearing wheels?
Three days slowly passed through the increasingly intense equipment testing and other intense work of many staff members, Long Yaohua, who was in charge of this aspect of the General Staff Department, arrived at the base, and Li Yunlong, the minister of logistics, personally arrived here.
Even Pakistani Defense Minister Mohammed. Khaliyak and their chief tank specialist, Muhammad. Taka. Aix also arrived before the Ronpo finished its final assembly and left the assembly line.
They want to witness this historic moment.
This day is an important day that can be written into the history of the development of the military industry of China and Pakistan. The new third-generation medium main battle tank jointly developed by China and Pakistan is about to roll off the assembly line. All parts are 100% made in China! As for Pakistan, although they only paid for it, and in the future, the main key components such as engines and tank guns, gun sighting systems, and artillery systems can be manufactured in their military factories, which is not a problem at all.
Anyway, they can also produce independently, unless the relationship with China is stiffened, otherwise they will not be stuck by the Chinese.
It's not that the Chinese don't want to give them the ability to make their own, it's that they find it too expensive to build production lines within the production engine and to train technicians and skilled workers.
"Xiao Liu, isn't the paint of this tank a little too ugly? Other people's tanks are all painted by toads, why did you make them yellow? Isn't this thing easy to spot? "Li Yunlong doesn't pay too much attention to the performance of the tank or anything, this is made by his son-in-law, how bad can it be?
The new tank of the 617 tank base has not been finalized until now. And 541 has not moved much so far. But they spent a lot of money.
It's not that he's favoritism, it's Base 617 and Base 541. After Dragon Tooth got Lao Maozi's T72 from the Southwest Battlefield, every family had a share. The project basically started at that time, after the people of Yang Wei's team stole back the T64 from the Soviet Far East Theater, they also got a prototype, and the technical strength of the two tank bases was much stronger than the Ninth Academy, which was originally only a technical backup and had little research ability, but now the project progress of the two units has not even been finalized, and the samples of the Ninth Academy have been rolled off the assembly line.
"Minister Li, this is our specially developed desert camouflage paint, and these tanks are much better than green in areas that are rarely prepared and covered. Of course. It doesn't just have to be a paint. Liu Yijiu wanted to tell Li Yunlong the truth, but in the end, he forgot it.
First, the tanks of the Republic of China, camouflage is simply too ugly.
Second, these tank republics will equip themselves, but the number of equipment will definitely not be much better, and the main customers of these tanks they need to produce are the two countries in the Middle East that are ready to fight, both of them are surnamed Yi, and their countries are desert terrain. This livery is much better than Army Green.
You can't tell these bigwigs these things at the beginning, otherwise even if the Middle Eastern tyrants come in the morning, they may not be able to sell them.
Liu Yijiu is still thinking about whether to give Pakistanis a hint. Let them take the initiative to communicate with Iran, sell tanks to the Iranians first, and wait until the time of the Iran-Iraq war. Let them invest more than 85 million dollars in tanks themselves, and earn back their investment as soon as possible.
On this, Liu Yijiu cheated the Pakistanis. All the funding was provided by the Pakistanis, and they themselves made a lot of money on it. After all, too many experiments are omitted.
"Lao Li, is the effect good, this can only be qualitative after being tested!" Long Yaohua was most disgusted with Li Yunlong's behavior of showing off his son-in-law at every turn, and then boasting about how good his vision was, and snatching the son-in-law from the Situ family at the beginning.
As Long Yaohua guessed, even if no one talked, he started himself, "It's very good, young man, innovative, know how to design different camouflage paints according to different environments, so that our tanks have stronger survivability, good, very good......" praised this, he began to narcissist, "But this is also thanks to Lao Tzu, if it wasn't for Lao Tzu's support to give you autonomy, we wouldn't have seen such a thing, Lao Long, do you say it's ......?"
Long Yaohua scolded shamelessly, turned his head with an expression that I didn't recognize him, and the others could only praise the leader for his wisdom.
No one cares how many performance parameters of this tank can reach, for people who don't know the inside story of this tank, this tank is estimated to be like the 69 type, because the technical performance of various foreign third-generation tanks is too far behind, there is no fundamental breakthrough, and in the end it can only become a bunch of drawings to accumulate experience for domestic researchers.
"Yuming, Shuhao, what do you think of this tank?" Long Yaohua was very unhappy when he saw Li Yunlong's old thing bragging more and more shamelessly, if he was as shameless as him, he would also have a wife like a flower and a beautiful daughter, Liu Yijiu might be his son-in-law, where could he be embarrassed!
If he directly said in private, the daughter of the Situ family was about to come to Liu Yijiu's side, he would be able to shut up Li Yunlong.
But not now, there are so many people here who don't have access to these things.
Li Yuming, head of the 617 tank base; Chen Shuhao, head of the 541 tank base; These two had little to do with a unit they didn't know about, and they hadn't even heard of it, but this time they were called over and crushed back and forth in their hearts with a new generation of five pairs of load-bearing wheels.
From the beginning, they were different from others, and their faces showed a lot of loneliness.
"Chief, if we had that much money from them, we would be able to get it out quickly! The annual allocation of the entire base is so little, and all the people have to be fed......" Li Yuming took a deep breath, then looked at the two tanks whose drivers had climbed to the top of the tank and opened the hatch, and said to Long Yaohua. "Although the exterior has changed a lot, who knows what happens inside?"
Chen Shuhao did not speak, the fate of the 541 base was already doomed, the order from above made many workshops and branches begin to transform, and the first batch of military-to-civilian units have begun to produce civilian products.
If they don't engage in tanks in the future, naturally there will be no contradictions.
He would be happy to see a new advanced tank.
The situation of the country's military industry is known only to those of them who are engaged in the military industry.
Jiang Ming immediately became furious when he heard this, when these guys used to go to their side to ask for technical support and assistance, they dragged them one by one as if they were twenty-five or eighty-thousand, and now they are still cheeky and say that if they have so much money on their side, they can also get it.
"Director Li, are you sure you can design and produce a new tank with the same performance as us with the same amount of money and time? Do you think that these tanks are just a change in appearance, and everything else is useless? Immediately, he asked Li Yuming in a deep voice with a cold face.
Li Yunlong no longer bragged about how he discovered Liu Yijiu's talent, and gave the entire Ninth Academy base a different treatment from other scientific research units.
"What's the big deal? The domestic foundation is like that, how advanced can you be compared to us? Electronic matching is not good, materials are not good, processing and manufacturing is not good......" Li Yuming did not know the situation of the Ninth Academy, he knew that the Ninth Academy, like the 541 tank base, was just their technical backup, and the Ninth Academy only had a very small-scale production capacity, mainly to retain the drawings and various technical personnel, so as to avoid the Republic losing the ability to manufacture tanks under the most tragic circumstances of the war.
Such a base, can there be more talents than them? Can experts in all fields compare with them?
"Besides, no matter how advanced the technology is, isn't there only five pairs of weight-bearing wheels!"
China, the most painful thing for all scientific and technological workers engaged in armored vehicles is the inability to produce six pairs of heavy tanks with heavy wheels!
If the tonnage can't go up, the defense and offensive ability will naturally be much worse.
The main reason was the lack of performance of the engine, which the Republic was able to produce was the 580-horsepower engine imported from the Soviet Union, which could not hold up too heavy lumps of iron to run on the ground.
When Jiang Ming heard this, he smiled and didn't say anything more.
Instead of debating now, it is better to enter the testing ground for a moment and let the facts speak for themselves.
"What happened to five pairs of weight wheels? Wouldn't five pairs of load-bearing wheels be able to hold up a tank with higher defense and more firepower? The performance of these tanks directly kills the new generation of main battle tanks that you are still working on! Qian Dayong was also very unhappy with Li Yuming's attitude.
The 617 base obviously occupies the most funds, and their funds are all allocated by the state, so they have been making their own money from the beginning!
How much money has been invested in this, he knows better than anyone else, they are equivalent to starting from scratch, materials, engines, and processing equipment are all done by themselves, if you put aside the research and development and production of some special CNC machine tools such as those used to process tank engines, the cost will be lower, far from 617 such a base can be compared with the utilization rate of funds.
"Boom! Just as the two sides were about to quarrel, the buttocks of the two "weird" tanks, painted in khaki camouflage and carrying 125-mm cannons, which had been stuck in place, emitted bursts of black smoke and then moved.......
Due to the time constraints, these tanks were not hung with reactive armor made of inert explosives.
The test site built in the newly completed mountain was only a part of the maneuverability. In the next six months, these tanks will have to be transported to the northern desert and the cold regions of the northeast for various harsh tests. (To be continued......)
PS: Thank you Tianhai Xiangyun for entrusting a friend from Australia to buy six cans of A2 milk powder for Xiao Erhulu, who was born more than two months ago! If you are grateful, I won't say much, only work hard to write a good book!
In addition, regarding the issue of the outbreak, it is definitely not the past two days, which have been in the archive for the past few days. The specific outbreak time is within this month, after the 22nd, how many outbreaks a day, and the gourd doesn't know how much it can save, anyway, it won't be less than ten or thirty thousand words.
