"Qin, we're old friends." Hataf didn't let Qin Zhenhua eat behind closed doors, but when he spoke, he still had a lot of helplessness.

"So, there are some things that I won't hide from you, and I will say them directly." "We were under pressure from some Soviets, and of course, if it was just pressure, we could have withstood it, but you have been helpless with this shoddy behavior," Khataf said. ”

During the test, the performance was quite strong, but as a result, after the export came out, the performance was lowered by a grade, which involved more serious problems.

Are you here to fool people?

If it weren't for old friends, Khataf would probably not see each other at all.

"Yes, we're having some issues with our accessories." Qin Zhenhua said: "This time, we have brought some new accessories, and we will quickly repair these tanks so that they can maintain the same combat effectiveness as the original." Trust us. ”

Hataf nodded: "Yes, personally, I believe in you very much, but after this incident, there are also many voices within the army, in the end, they are still not at ease." After all, these weapons are used to fight. ”

The performance of the weapon is put aside first, reliability is crucial, on the battlefield, it is found that the weapon cannot work stably at all, and it will strike at any time, then it will be repaid!

"At this point, please rest assured that similar things will not happen a second time, and we have changed the parts supplier to ensure the stability of the weapon system." Qin Zhenhua said: "Moreover, this time, in order to show our sincerity, we also brought new good things. ”

Hearing Qin Zhenhua say this, Hataf suddenly became interested: "What is a good thing?" ”

"Armor-piercing shells." Qin Zhenhua said: "We have developed our own 125mm armor-piercing projectile, which is fully suitable for your 125mm tank gun. ”

Last time, when the two sides were in a comparative test, the armor-piercing power of the 125 mm tank gun made it difficult for them to accept, not because of the poor technical level of the Soviet side, but because the Soviets refused to bring good things over at all, and all they could get was the most ordinary steel-core armor-piercing bullets, which could not give full play to the performance of the weapon.

Now, as soon as Qin Zhenhua said this, sure enough, Khataf was tempted: "In this case, we can test it, but we have to arrange it and not let the Soviets know." ”

If the Soviets knew, they would definitely not agree, the Soviets are too domineering.

"Our batch of armor-piercing shells is for testing, and you know that the perfection of an artillery shell requires many tests." Qin Zhenhua said: "Therefore, we hope that you can pay for some tests, and at the same time, the various data of the tests should also be shared with us, so that we can make improvements and improvements more conveniently." ”

"Absolutely." Hataf said.

The waiting time was long, more than ten days later, a T-72 tank, in the darkness of night, quietly drove to a certain test site, when the fat Ali commander jumped down, stretched out his hand to Qin Zhenhua: "We meet again, old friend, I heard that you got good things?" ”

"Yes, here."

opened the box, and under the light, he saw the bullet core inside, which exuded a black luster, and Ali's eyes immediately widened: "This is a tungsten alloy warhead?" ”

"Yes, tungsten alloy, the steel bullet core you use is simply fooling people." Qin Zhenhua said: "Our set of armor-piercing bullets is expected to have an armor-piercing depth of more than 50% of your existing armor-piercing bullets. Give it a try. ”

The technical data published by the Soviet Union's export armor-piercing bullet is to penetrate 310 mm of homogeneous steel armor at 2000 meters, but in fact, this is the data given by the tungsten alloy warhead, and the export is a steel-core armor-piercing projectile, and the performance is much worse, and it is usually a 200 mm thick fixed target to shoot, and no matter how thick the armor-piercing experiment is, it has never been done.

They know exactly what their firepower is, and now, they are certainly looking forward to increasing their firepower.

"Yes, let's try!" Ali commanded his men to move the shell inside the T-72 tank, and then the tank rumbled forward.

Shooting at night is very inconvenient and cannot be aimed at the target accurately, of course, if everything is done in advance, even an infrared emitter is placed on the target, then it is different.

"Boom!" A fireball rose at the muzzle, and the 125-mm armor-piercing projectile made by the eastern powers flew out of the barrel and flew towards the target on the opposite side.

"The 300 millimeter thick target has been penetrated." Looking at that target, the excitement on everyone's faces was beyond words.

It's all penetrated, and the warhead doesn't know where it flew, which shows that the real armor-piercing ability has exceeded 300 mm, and the performance of this new armor-piercing bullet is really strong enough.

"Yes, this armor-piercing projectile, our army can order a batch." Khataf, who participated in the test launch together, was also very satisfied.

"Nope." Qin Zhenhua shook his head: "This kind of armor-piercing projectile, we are still only testing, it still has a lot of problems, you see, it did not shoot to the center of the target, this error is a bit big, we still need to make some adjustments." ”

In terms of power, there are many elements, but the design of the warhead of an armor-piercing projectile has to follow many elements, its own shape, the size of the tail wing, will have a lot of influence, different dead weight, ballistic characteristics are also different.

These tests, of course, have to be done here, after all, a tank gun, a few hundred rounds will be scrapped, and there is no such condition in China.

"This is easy to say, you can continue to adjust, but this test shell, we can also order 500 first, and order it urgently." Hataf said.

Only the first test shot of the shell, there are still a lot of problems in accuracy, and they are actually satisfied?

It seems that their guess is good, they are in such a hurry to procure because there is about to be a war, and they can't wait!

However, since there is this business, of course you have to respond to your needs, no matter what kind of business it is, if you have money, you have to make money, a machine factory, so many people are waiting to eat, everyone is holding back their energy, screaming and wanting to do a big job, what is the result? The factory has no orders? How can that work!
