"Now it's okay, the Americans are going to cooperate with us." Wang Gang had a happy expression on his face: "This matter, thanks to Assistant Qin, he went to the United States this time and took the initiative to bring it to us, he is a great benefactor of our factory." ”

Wang Gang was almost grateful, when he was in a meeting before, there were still people in the factory who expressed their dissatisfaction with Qin Zhenhua, but now look at it, it is still Qin Zhenhua who is really willing to reach out and pull them!

"Our biggest problem is the weapon system, and the Americans are said to be moving their turret over and erecting it on our hull." Pan Dahai said: "Then why are we still stunned, let's do it now!" ”

Everyone can't wait, in this way, their Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle will become an international cooperation project, and in the name of the Americans, it will be easier to open up sales, so that the whole factory will come to life!

"Let's first find all the information of this M2 infantry fighting vehicle of the Americans, study it, and see how to deploy it, so that we can speed it up, we must be fast, we must participate in this year's international defense exhibition, this is a last battle."

Without the National Day military parade project, what they can fight for now is this international defense exhibition, but fortunately, this continues to give them hope.

Originally, it was only planned to allow the Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle to be exhibited, but now, when the news came, they immediately made this new choice: to let this modified vehicle of international cooperation also participate in the exhibition, and it must be a [00] cannon shot.

For the sake of this goal, it is out of the way!

So, a few days later, when Qin Zhenhua came here with Joyce Lowry and a few technicians, he saw a different scene.

A Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle has been removed from the turret of the original 73 mm gun, and on the original vacant position, an turret exactly the same as that of the M2 infantry fighting vehicle has been installed!

"This, how is this possible?" When he saw this scene, Joyston was stunned, the turret in front of him was vivid, it was like picking up the turret of the M2 infantry fighting vehicle, but he had never exited it!

"We made a wooden model on it." Seeing the guests who came were very surprised, Pan Dahai was also very proud: "It is completely imitated according to the turret of the M2 infantry fighting vehicle, and with the addition of this turret, our infantry fighting vehicle is simply a new look and looks more spiritual." ”

Looking more energetic? This kind of words are not easy to translate, and the meaning contained in them is to say that there is spirit.

The original turret was round, similar to the tank turret, just one size smaller, now this turret is installed, the square wedge-shaped turret is more imposing, full of modern feeling, at this time, the turret has been poked up, a group of people are standing nearby, began to admire.

"However, in this way, the body of the car looks a lot taller, and the side area has also increased." After reading it, Qin Zhenhua expressed his opinion.

Eastern weapons, inheriting the characteristics of the Soviets, have always preferred to be small and reduce the bomb area as much as possible, but the Americans are different.

Especially the M2 infantry fighting vehicle, which is even taller, and even for this reason has been criticized, the hull is very tall, and it doesn't matter if you add a turret.

Your own is different, your own Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle, originally had a low hull, and now, with such a large turret, it seems that it always feels incongruous, a bit of a big son.

"This turret, we have tried to design it in the direction of miniaturization, but if we want to fit two people inside, it can only be so big." Joyce said.

The M2 infantry fighting vehicle is used with a two-man turret, and the gun commander and the commander are inside.

In addition to the all-important 25mm cannon and a side-by-side machine gun mounted on the right side of the gun, there is also a lifting M27 double-barreled "Tao" anti-tank missile launcher on the left side of the turret.

Therefore, its weapons are quite complete, in addition to using machine guns against targets such as armored vehicles, it can also use anti-tank missiles directly against the enemy's main battle tanks.

In this way, it also led to the tall turret.

Hearing this introduction, Qin Zhenhua frowned, and then said, "So, can you remove the Tao anti-tank missile and change it to a single-person turret?" ”

The 25-mm cannon is fed by a chain, so there is no need for a special loader at all, one person is enough. If there is only one person in the turret, it can be greatly reduced.

In fact, the original Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle, like the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle, also carried an imitation of the Red Arrow 73 anti-tank missile, which was hung on the upper part of the barrel, which looked very powerful, in fact, the combat effectiveness was not good, and the performance of the Red Arrow 73 anti-tank missile was not good, and after it was hung, a part of the fire control system of the special anti-tank missile had to be added.

If you have a specialization in the art industry, you don't necessarily have to make an infantry fighting vehicle large and complete, it only needs to have a machine gun, so that the volume of the turret can also be reduced all at once.

Joyce heard Qin Zhenhua's thoughts, pondered for a moment, and said, "If that's the case, then it's a redesign, in terms of time..."

They also have the same idea, since they want to do it, they must hurry up and catch up with this international defense exhibition, which is the best.

Originally, it was only planned to move the turret, but now, if it is to be modified, it will take more time.

"That's right!" Joyce suddenly remembered: "In the original design, we once designed a special scheme for a single turret, and if we applied this scheme, we should be able to catch up." Are you sure you don't want anti-tank missiles, though? ”

If it is sold, and there are still anti-tank missiles, then it will definitely be able to sell some anti-tank missiles, and this is all money.

If the other party wants to cut these, it means that they will make a lot less.

"Trust me." Qin Zhenhua said: "The characteristics of our weapon system are advanced technology and low cost, if you add anti-tank missiles, the cost will go up all of a sudden, I am afraid it will scare away many potential customers, besides, our potential customers may not be able to operate anti-tank missiles." ”

In a word, Joyce nodded repeatedly, yes!

Anti-tank missiles, one is hundreds of thousands, and if you get a few spare bombs, the procurement cost will be doubled, which goes against the original intention.

The goal is to export to poor countries where the level of education is also low, and with anti-tank missiles, they are not necessarily operable.
