What is a third-generation tank? There is no clear concept of this, but many things are still conventional.

For example, the powertrain.

1,200 horsepower, almost a minimum standard, the highest standard, of course, is 1,500 horsepower, not to mention how much it weighs, if you don't have a diesel engine with 1,000 horsepower, you are embarrassed to come out and say hello.

Now, it is the tank diesel engine that has completed a thousand horsepower, and as a result, the old bus is asking for a diesel engine with a thousand horsepower? Hearing the indicators introduced by the other party, Qin Zhenhua frowned.

Of course, there are 1,200 horsepower diesel engines in China, and the Panther diesel engine has been developed until now, and it has a power output of 1,200 horsepower, but this engine is still in the test run, and it is not perfect, and it has been increased to 1,200 horsepower for the first time, and there will definitely be all kinds of small problems to overcome.

Needless to say, because it is the most advanced technology in China, the question of whether it can be exported, the diesel engine is still being tested, and the climate of the tropical region of Lao Ba is not considered, so if you use it rashly, I am afraid it will not be suitable! I didn't talk about this before. The big guy is still preparing a 1,000-horsepower diesel engine scheme.

Just when Qin Zhenhua frowned, Wu Ruihua on the side whispered to Qin Zhenhua: "If we talk about a mature 1,200 horsepower diesel engine, we also have it in China, and the MTU396 diesel engine introduced by the Coal Province Diesel Engine Factory can output such a large power." ”

In the past few years, Qin Zhenhua has been busy and has not paid much attention to the affairs of the Coal Province Diesel Engine Factory, and the Coal Province Diesel Engine Factory has been improving? In 86, they introduced the production license of the 396 diesel engine from the MTU company, and the production of the 396 diesel engine began.

Of course? Naturally with Mia's help? Meantime? There are also some backhands left by the Germans, and the production license is there, after all, it was said at the time? As long as you can sell how many units in the big eastern countries? Give export licenses to the big eastern countries.

However, there is only a production license, how to produce it exactly? But the other party doesn't say it? Originally thought that the big countries in the East simply did not have the ability to produce independently? Need to continue to import 396 diesel engines from the MTU company? At least a large number of parts and components need to be imported? The result? In the past few years, the Coal Provincial Diesel Engine Factory has increased the localization rate of this diesel engine to more than 90 percent, which can be said to be an independently produced product.

Is it the most suitable place to use it is a diesel locomotive? Submarine? Speedboat these equipment? After all, the volume is a bit big? But now, if you want to catch the ducks on the shelves, take out this mature diesel engine for Lao Ba to use? It's also a solution.

The first URL

Now, hearing Wu Ruihua's words, Qin Zhenhua nodded: "Well, we can achieve this, we have a mature 1,200 horsepower diesel engine in China, we can assemble it on the Khalid tank, and at the same time, for the gearbox, we plan to use the LSG3000 hydraulic transmission system imported by ZF company, this system, we are currently planning to introduce technology production in China." ”

Germany's hydraulic transmission system is famous, almost the royal gearbox of the third generation of tanks, and even the Arjun tank on the opposite side also uses this gearbox, and the eastern powers also plan to use this gearbox to equip their own third-generation tanks. Therefore, now we are actively preparing to introduce technology, and if we produce it ourselves, as long as we can produce it, we can use it for Lao Ba, and when the time comes, if the Germans force it, they can completely use the way of the L7 tank gun to cover it up, and if you change it slightly, it will not be German.

It's just that if you use that kind of power system, the power compartment of the tank will become very large!

"Well, we're looking forward to the perfect powertrain solution from the big country in the East." Berg did not question it at this time, after all, the wonderful performance of the 85 tank, they were already very satisfied, and they believed in the technology of the great powers of the East.

It's just that Qin Zhenhua didn't know that it was precisely because of the rush to launch the plan to adopt his own 396 diesel engine that the project was finally delayed again and again, and with the continuous delay, new indicators were constantly proposed, which almost ruined the future of the Khalid tank.

Qin Zhenhua is not a saint, he has made a mistake at present, of course, from the current point of view, such a choice is not wrong, the eastern big country designed a tank for Lao Ba, of course, I hope that the supporting systems inside will be produced by ourselves, so as to pursue profit maximization, and be able to control the unit price of the tank.

"We'll definitely work hard." Qin Zhenhua said.

"Next, let's talk about the protection of the tank, and we hope to achieve 450 mm of protection." Berg continued, this standard, in fact, has been introduced before, and a machine factory has also conducted repeated research and found a solution to the problem.

"Allow me to give a detailed introduction to this design." Qin Zhenhua said: "Our previous design scheme is to rely on the top of the hull as the main protective equipment, if you want to achieve such protection, the head of the car body must use a very thick composite armor plate to meet the requirements, and the first armor must also have a large thickness, so that the weight of the chassis is greatly increased, and the space inside the front of the car is sharply reduced, so we plan to borrow the design of the M1 tank." ”

Afraid that Lao Ba would not accept it, Qin Zhenhua brought out the Americans' M1 tanks, which was easy to convince the other party.

"The scheme of the M1 tank?" Sure enough, Berg was interested: "What plan?" ”

"We plan to adopt the design of the first lower bulletproof, that is, to use a piece of lower composite armor with a certain inclination angle and large thickness as the main bomb surface of the tank, which greatly simplifies the pressure on the top, and the upper armor is an almost horizontal thin composite armor. In this way, the body has enough space and protection, and we plan to move the cockpit to the center of the front of the car to give the driver a better view. ”

In order to increase the protective force, this surface should be made into a large inclination, so as to protect the armor-piercing bullets fired by the opponent, and now, the new trend is to use a thin layer of armor steel as the upper armor, this layer of armor is horizontal, so that if the opposite side has to fly over, it can not hit the upper armor, but can only hit the armor below the nose, and increase the thickness of the lower armor as the main protective layer.

This is a bold design, and it depends on whether Lao Ba accepts it or not.
