Procurement of only shells?

Qin Zhenhua's words made Hataf also stunned.

If they only procure artillery shells, then the funds they need will be much smaller, after all, how much money are the shells? Compared to tanks, that's not worth mentioning.

At the same time, in this way, the other party will not make much money, compared with selling tanks, selling shells will not make much money, when he thought of this, Khataf's heart was a little more moved.

This is called being a good friend, and at a critical time, it is so moral!

They don't care how much money they make, they can always think about themselves, this kind of friend, it's worth socializing.

"Can your shells be stuffed into our tanks? If it can fit in, will the power of armor piercing increase or decrease? Khataf continued.

When the Eastern powers showed their 125mm tank guns, countless media and experts were saying that the tank guns of the Eastern powers were imitations of the Soviet Union's 2A46 tank guns.

However, they knew deep down that the tanks of the Soviets would definitely not have such a deep penetration! So, in terms of the power of tank guns, the 85 tanks of the eastern powers have far surpassed the tanks in their hands.

So, in this case, is it okay to stuff the shells of the eastern powers into the bore of your own?

"We need detailed testing." Qin Zhenhua said: "We hope that you can transport a tank to our test site, we have professional testing tools, to determine the maximum chamber pressure that your tank can withstand, using our existing experience, specially developed the corresponding shells, maybe the depth of penetration is not up to our level, 500 mm is not enough, but the depth of penetration above 450 mm, it can still be done." ”

What did Qin Zhenhua draw?

Of course, there are many figures.

They already know that the T-72 tanks exported by the Soviets use monkey shells, which are seriously lacking in armor-piercing capabilities, and these countries have the need to improve the power of tank guns.

It is already a very common practice for the same tank gun to increase the penetration depth by using different shells, taking the L7 tank gun, which is now the most widely used in the Western camp, by digging deep into the potential, the penetration depth has been increased by almost half, and the modification of the extended barrel of the eastern powers has even nearly doubled.

The Soviets' 125 mm cannon barrel has a poor penetration depth, mainly because the matching steel core armor-piercing projectile is not powerful, not to mention anything else, even if it is just to replace the steel core warhead with its own tungsten alloy warhead, the penetration depth can be increased by half, and then, with the propellant at the back, the penetration depth can also be increased by a large margin.

Now, the other side has provided a tank to its side, and the real thing is in its hands, so it can conduct specific research to see how much bore pressure the barrel bears, how to increase the propellant, how to design a more suitable warhead, and how to cooperate with the automatic loader, so that the most suitable ammunition can be developed.

And then what?

Then, of course, it is sold to make money, the Soviets sell tanks, they sell supporting ammunition, selling tanks is a hammer deal, selling shells is a long-term deal, and, after selling shells, customers are satisfied, believe in their own strength, and naturally there will be more benefits in the future, such as upgrading tanks for customers and earning more money.

Don't look at the current market is very small, but in the future, there will still be great prospects, especially if the other side wants to provide them with a T-72 tank for free.

In the past, in order to develop their own third-generation tanks, China got a T-72 from abroad, but that one was particularly precious, and finally supplied them to Zhu Lao and they disassembled and studied it repeatedly.

A machine factory did not have that scientific research strength at that time.

Now, from the Khataf in front of them, they can bring a T-72 tank over and let them study it thoroughly, and they don't have to spend money.

Will the other party agree?

The other party didn't have a choice, but he considered it for the other party.

"Test with our tanks? Isn't your tank gun the same as the Soviet tank gun? Khataf asked. This sentence was a bit impolite, and after asking, he seemed a little embarrassed.

"Many people say that our tank gun is a Soviet tank gun copied by surveying and mapping, but in fact, this is our own use of our own domestic technology, research and development, and the Soviet tank gun has nothing to do with it, our medicine room volume is larger than the Soviets, our barrel chamber pressure is larger than the Soviets, except that the barrels are 125 mm, there is no second similarity at all."

Qin Zhenhua has already given an answer, it is impossible for our shells to be directly stuffed into your tank guns, and it depends on your words how to choose.

"Then, it's hard for you." Hataf said.

He had no reason to object, after all, it was for their own good, so, after asking the question of the different barrels, Khataf agreed.

They already have nearly 1,000 T-72 tanks in their country, and there is no problem in picking out one of them and sending them over for testing. Moreover, this is also for them to increase their firepower, and only if they are more powerful than the previous firepower, they will be able to deal with the next threat.

What's more, spend the least price and get the most boost, what else can you say?

As a result, a plan to buy 85 tanks on credit turned into a project to buy new artillery shells in full, which was also the last negotiated deal at the International Defense Exhibition. For the big countries in the East, this is simply a great gift to the door.

In particular, when Liu Dajun and Huang Chuanchuan heard about it, they couldn't move anymore, and wanted to wait for the tank to come, and after receiving it, they drove to their base to test it.

This proposal was naturally completely rejected by Qin Zhenhua.

Although Qin Zhenhua has just entered the No. 1 Machine Factory, he began to develop advanced armor-piercing shells, but the No. 1 Machine Factory mainly builds tanks, and the No. 2 Machine Factory makes artillery.

Therefore, the project was set to the second machine factory.

It seems that the other party is indeed in a hurry, and in just half a month's work, the T-72 tank crossed the sea, came to the land of a large eastern country, took a special train, and drove into the grassland city in one breath.

At this time, Prairie City was already icy and snowy, and there were several armored soldiers who followed this tank, especially among them, there were old acquaintances.

"Armored Ali?" Qin Zhenhua asked, "Brother, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have become fatter." ”
