Chapter 927: Preparing the Project
"In mountain warfare, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles also have great advantages." As the meeting of the 8*910 project gradually approached, Qin Zhenhua finally returned to a machine factory, and now, in front of everyone in the factory council, Qin Zhenhua is doing his own analysis.
This is the first bold attempt, and at the same time, the results received are also very good, and their wheeled infantry fighting vehicles have become famous all over the country and even the world with one newspaper after another.
Now, Qin Zhenhua's thoughts are gradually broader.
"Due to the light body and high engine power, our infantry fighting vehicle, even if it climbs a slope of 60 degrees, is quite safe, and it is precisely because of these advantages that it has an unparalleled advantage in mountain warfare." Qin Zhenhua introduced the experience he had gained this time, of course, these experiences, the troops are also summing up, and after arriving, the troops will definitely continue to increase the procurement of this wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, it can be said that this battle is a display of equipment from a machine factory, and only when it is really in actual combat can the real strength be tested.
"So, according to what you said, our protection is always a hard wound, so, does it mean that light tanks are more suitable?" When he finished speaking, a question was raised.
In the initial battle, a large number of Type 62 light tanks have been dispatched, but later, in the current round of battles did not appear, now, this problem is in front of everyone's eyes, speaking of protection, tracked chassis light tanks, should be better.
Moreover, light tanks are also light in weight, and the Type 62 tank may not be enough, so is it possible for us to develop a new type of light tank in the future to meet the needs of the troops? After all, the main product of a machine factory is still tanks.
Qin Zhenhua shook his head: "No, no, a light tank is not as suitable as an infantry fighting vehicle, because an infantry fighting vehicle can still carry infantry inside!" ”
If you want to say, the wheeled infantry chariot is actually the most suitable for rapid maneuvering in plain areas and good road conditions, and the wheels have this advantage, on the highway, they can soar out of a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, which is absolutely impossible for other tracked chassis, and it is also fuel-efficient.
In the mountains, in fact, the maneuverability of the tracked chassis is stronger than that of the wheeled type, but if you want to talk about the role of such an all-rounder, the wheeled type is already very good.
Compared with tanks, in mountain warfare, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles are definitely more suitable than tanks!
"When we fight mountain warfare, the distance between the two sides is relatively short, and the suddenness is very strong, light tanks and wheeled infantry fighting vehicles are easy to be intercepted by the other side, not to mention anti-tank missiles, even if it is a rocket launcher, it can be easily destroyed, so it is very important to coordinate with infantry tanks, in this case, specialized tanks, is it easy to use our wheeled infantry fighting vehicles?"
Anyway, you have to kneel when you encounter a bazooka, so if a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle can carry infantry, this advantage will become quite obvious.
"Anyway, in the mountains, it is almost impossible to encounter heavy troops, our 100 slides are more than enough, the equipment of mountain warfare needs to be characterized by strong mobility, strong cross-country ability, fast response, enough strike firepower, can carry infantry, so, I think, our wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, at present, can fully meet the needs." Qin Zhenhua said: "Maybe in the future, we still need advanced combat vehicles with tracked chassis, but now, we don't have to think about it for the time being, in contrast, I think of another more urgent one." ”
"What?" The crowd asked.
"A highly maneuverable multi-purpose wheeled vehicle to replace the 212 currently equipped in the army." Qin Zhenhua said: "If you want to make an analogy, the Hummer that was just finalized and put into service in the United States last year is a pretty good object of surveying and mapping. ”
Like the old liberation, the 212 off-road jeep has been produced for decades, and as an evergreen, it will continue to be produced, even in 2020, the second egg is still being produced tenaciously, which shows how tenacious its vitality is.
However, after all, it is old, this time I went to the army and saw the old 212 jeep used in various aspects, Qin Zhenhua had such an idea: The army definitely needs an advanced vehicle to replace it, after all, the 212 with a gasoline engine is too old.
It needs to use a diesel engine, it needs to have a wide body, low to reduce the probability of overturning in complex road conditions, and it also has the ability to modify and deform, if you want to replace the 212 in the army, you can imagine how huge the market will be!
"Well, you're a good idea, but we don't have the ability yet." Zhao Guodong said: "At present, the most important thing in the factory is the 8*910 project, we must take out all the things we can take out at hand, take them out, and bring them to the capital to participate in the bidding." ”
Qin Zhenhua nodded.
Naturally, he knows what is important.
With the commissioning of Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks and the subsequent orders brought about by the fame of wheeled armored vehicles, it is conceivable that the automobile branch is not capable of engaging in such a project for the time being.
Let's wait until a few more years!
After all, the gap is still very large, this kind of off-road vehicle similar to the Humvee, and the existing heavy trucks, wheeled armored vehicles are very different, if classified, closer to passenger cars, a machine plant now in this area of technical reserves are almost equal to zero.
"That's right, this time, taking advantage of the great fame of our weapon system, we threw out all our equipment." Qin Zhenhua said: "With this east wind, we will realize that our machine factory will reach a new level." ”
"I guess other brother factories should vomit bitterness again." Xie Huimin said.
The crowd laughed, in this laughter, with pride and self-confidence, we are a machine factory, we are the strongest, there is nothing we can't do!
"At present, we plan to prepare for the parade project, there are three series, which are tanks, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles and military heavy trucks." Zhao Guodong picked up the materials and studied them in the conference room: "Among them, within each series, there are some projects, and the first thing we have to do is to sort them within us, and select the most competitive, secondary, and less hopeful, and define them separately." ”
After all, there are too many equipment, even if there is only one machine factory, I am afraid that it will exceed the limit, so internally, we must first screen it.
Qin Zhenhua also took a copy, opened it and looked at the catalog first, and then his face showed joy: "It seems that the factory has made rapid progress in the past few months, this, this Red Arrow-8 anti-tank missile launcher, has also begun to be finalized and tested?" ”
