The wheeled chassis has a lot of uses, but the body is still not big enough, and it is not well used in some scenarios, for example, when you want to carry your own 105 mm rifled gun, you must use a four-axle drive vehicle, so the focus of the next stage of research and development must be a four-axle drive off-road vehicle, but in some scenarios, this kind of vehicle seems to be larger.

Say, anti-tank missile launchers.

For mechanized infantry, the enemy's tank is always a huge threat, infantry fighting tanks, for a long time, has been an urgent topic of discussion in China, after many aspects of research, it was found that this kind of infantry to fight tanks, the best way is naturally anti-tank missiles.

In those years, he stumbled and developed the Red Arrow 73 series of anti-tank missiles, which are anti-tank missiles with the general technology of manually controlled model aircraft, but they are just the initial products, far behind the world level, and the Red Arrow 8 series of anti-tank missiles is a catch-up.

This kind of anti-tank missile adopts the launch method of the launch canister, and also adopts semi-automatic control in the control, so that it no longer needs to manually control the flight to the target, as long as it is aimed at the target, and after it appears, it will inevitably become an effective weapon for infantry against tanks.

In addition to using a single soldier's tripod to launch, a car is a more suitable choice, as for what car to use, it is a matter of opinion.

After the meeting, Qin Zhenhua came to the shooting range of a machine factory, looking at the Red Arrow-8 anti-tank missile launcher being tested here, because it does not need to be too big, so this car is simplified, just like the original three-axle vehicle was cut off from the back, turned into a two-axle launch vehicle.

Wang Limin has already left, and he returned to the capital ahead of schedule because of the recent meeting of the 8*910 project, and the people who are currently in charge of the test are all employees of the first machine factory, Li Changjiang took Qin Zhenhua and went straight to the launch vehicle.

"We just made a slight adjustment to the original chassis, and at the same time reduced the power of the engine, and there were not many changes in other aspects." Li Changjiang said: "This time, there is not only a chassis like ours to participate in the parade bidding, but also the chassis of the 63 armored car. ”

In fact, for a long time, the troops are distrustful of the wheeled chassis, after all, if you want to go off-road, it is more appropriate to rely on the track, and the last time in the wheel war, the brilliant performance of the wheeled chassis can be regarded as changing the views of many people, the crawler chassis has great resistance after all, in many places, the crawler chassis can not go up, and the wheeled chassis is no problem.

Now, with this performance, the troops recognize the wheeled chassis even more, however, it is not easy to defeat the 63 armored car chassis.

"Compared with the two, the characteristic of our chassis is that it is cheap, which is convenient for the troops to equip a large number of troops." Li Changjiang said: "For the army whose military spending is rapidly shrinking, cheap is very attractive, but this does not mean that cheap will definitely succeed, after all, the army is going to fight." ”

Qin Zhenhua nodded, that's right, the troops are going to fight, and only with superior equipment on the battlefield can they be recognized by the troops, and at the same time, a machine factory must also provide weapons that meet the battlefield standards to the troops.

He followed the door behind him, looked inside, looked at the devices inside, and frowned.

"What's wrong?" Li Changjiang asked Qin Zhenhua, when his expression like this appeared, it meant that he was not satisfied with the current situation.

"Now that we have become a launch vehicle, we are still like individual soldiers, using only one launch tube, doesn't it seem a little too thin?" Qin Zhenhua asked.

The chassis of this car was provided by a machine factory, and the weapon device was made up by Professor Wang Limin's team, in fact, it was transplanted from the Yuejin brand off-road vehicle, but the hand-cranked lifting was replaced by a hydraulic lifting with mature technology.

It's still single-barreled!

Whether it is a Yuejin off-road vehicle or a 212, it is a modification of a single soldier device, which is naturally a launch tube, but now it looks like it is a bit nondescript, and the firepower is too bad.

Of course, after each launch, when it is lowered into the hull, it can be replaced with a second launch tube, but when this single anti-tank missile launcher suddenly encounters the enemy, how can it have enough time to complete such an operation?

No, it has to be changed!

"Our car body has enough space, simply, make this launch tube above into four rows." Qin Zhenhua said: "The four launch tubes are raised and lowered together, and when it is necessary to fight, the first missile hits the target at the same time, and the second missile can be launched at any time, which is much faster than lowering down and changing the launch canister." ”

Our big country in the East has always paid attention to firepower as the king, how can such a launch tube meet the needs? In particular, the products of our first machine factory are the most advanced in the whole country, and they must be one grade higher than other brother units.

As soon as Qin Zhenhua said this, Li Changjiang also nodded seriously: "That's right, if there are four launch tubes, it will definitely be better, but in this way, the weapon system will have to be updated, and these are all what Professor Wang is doing." ”

"They? We should have figured it out during this time, right? Qin Zhenhua asked.

Although the big guy is engaged in the chassis, it is impossible to say that he knows nothing about this top, and the big guy must have a very in-depth understanding of this missile during this period of time.

"That's right, we have some understanding, but if we have understanding, it doesn't mean that we can create it." Li Changjiang said: "This will take time, and I am afraid that we will not be able to catch up with this meeting." ”

"You don't have to make it, as long as we have the blueprints." Qin Zhenhua said: "Let's rely on this design to compare the brother units!" ”

The brother unit he is talking about is naturally a brother unit that uses a tracked chassis, and they are also engaged in this kind of anti-tank missile launcher, if nothing else, they will definitely use a single-tube method, and when the time comes, they will be single-piped, and we will be able to win.

Add more chances to your own bids!

After Qin Zhenhua finished saying this, Li Changjiang nodded vigorously: "It's okay, let's do it!" ”

"Of course, we also need to increase the support of electronic devices, increase the degree of automation, and make it become... A dedicated weapon control station! ”

Li Changjiang's eyes showed longing, if this is the case, it would be even better!
