Chapter 622: Open upside down
The chassis of the Merkava tank, the transformation of the infantry fighting vehicle is quite good, but the tank is different, the layout of the tank, the transformation of the infantry fighting vehicle, where does the infantry come out?
Top? When you come out, you will be machine-gunned!
Side? The side is a track!
Normal infantry fighting vehicles are opened from the back, which is naturally to protect the soldiers, on the battlefield, when the infantry fighting vehicle is driven to a dangerous place, use the hull to block the enemy's bullets, and then quickly come down from the back, this is the standard process, almost all infantry fighting vehicles, are designed like this.
What to do behind the tank? A cut in the engine?
Qin Zhenhua said that the other party was speechless, and after a while, a tank engineer next to him couldn't help but speak: "This, the Merkava tank can be transformed into an infantry fighting vehicle, we believe it, how can this T-55 tank be transformed into an infantry fighting vehicle?" Where do they get out from? ”
When the other party asked, Qin Zhenhua also knew that he had leaked his mouth, but at this time, of course, Qin Zhenhua couldn't admit that he was talking nonsense, since he said it, then he must continue to say it, just like what he had made, he had to finish it with tears.
"From behind, of course." Qin Zhenhua said as he was thinking quickly in his mind about how to go down.
"But there's an engine in the back." The other party said.
"Yes, that's right, there's the engine in the back, so what, this little difficulty, can it stump you?" Qin Zhenhua was vibrating with words, and at the same time, he was thinking about the solution in his mind, can he stump you? Solution, always come up with it!
Qin Zhenhua's mind was thinking quickly, and then, one by one, plans were formed from his mind.
"Can't think of it? Okay, anyway, today is an exchange, let me explain to you, there are many schemes, there are simple transformations, and there are also major changes. Qin Zhenhua said: "First of all, let me talk about the plan of the overhaul, which is to drive the T-55 tank upside down!" ”
Open upside down?
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, even Huang Lao and the others were stunned, today, is Qin Zhenhua feverish? How did you start talking nonsense, has anyone ever seen a tank driven upside down?
"Upside down?" The other party was still thinking about Qin Zhenhua's words, and Mr. Tal on the side had already clapped his hands: "That's right, this is a good idea!" ”
In a tank with a normal layout, the engine is in the back, and if you want to change to an infantry fighting vehicle, the engine has to be in the front.
Overhaul? If it is overhauled, you have to consider the cost, if it is the same as the cost of new manufacturing, then who will change it, so this must be a simple way to renovate, you have to use the original parts as much as possible, so there is this idea, how to move the engine from the back to the front?
Turn the body over, of course!
Let the car drive upside down, then naturally the engine is in front, and the open space will flow out of the back, and naturally a cabin door for members to enter and exit can also be deployed at the rear.
And what Qin Zhenhua said is that it is not really reversed, it is impossible for the tanker to drive upside down all the time, as long as the body of the car is turned upside down, and then, the driver's position is also reversed, isn't it?
Since it has been made into an infantry fighting vehicle, the turret is to be removed, the rear position is to be heightened, and in the middle of the hull, it is enough to find a position for the driver, so that the problem of changing the 59 tank into an infantry fighting vehicle has been completely solved.
This is a heavy infantry fighting vehicle!
An ordinary infantry fighting vehicle is at most protected against the shooting of machine gun bullets, and this infantry fighting vehicle can protect against RPGs and even armor-piercing shells! Stay inside, that's pretty safe.
The only drawback is that it is estimated to be too heavy, an ordinary infantry fighting vehicle is only a dozen tons, and this tank is estimated to be forty tons after transformation.
Now, if the country wants to transform it like this, it is impossible, after all, those 59 tanks of the army are still cherished as treasures, but ten or twenty years later, with the gradual replacement of domestic tanks, the old 59 tanks that have been retired can be transformed in this way.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhenhua was a little excited, he couldn't wait to see the appearance of this kind of heavy infantry fighting vehicle, and sure enough, when he encountered an urgent situation, it would inspire people.
When this plan was finished, Qin Zhenhua himself was complacent about his plan.
This plan, although it is said to be a major change, but the chassis is still unchanged, or the original, but the cockpit and the upper part need to be modified, so that the conversion from tank to infantry fighting vehicle can be completed in the most economical situation, and it is still the only heavy infantry fighting vehicle in the world!
When the tanks are old, how to let them exert their residual heat is an important issue, even countries like Israel do not dare to throw them directly, but to tinker and continue to use, and modified into infantry fighting vehicles, it is considered to be used in lower grades, which should be the best destination for these old tanks.
Everyone's eyes were shining.
"So, what about a simple retrofit?" Mr. Taal asked.
"It's simple, it's just not exchanging back and forth." Qin Zhenhua said: "I saw that after your tank was modified with a new engine, a large part of the space in the power compartment was surplus, and this space can be used as a hatch for soldiers to enter and exit from the front and rear, even if it is a little tighter, it can also be entered and exited from the back." ”
Only the opponent's tank can be changed like this, the family uses an eight-cylinder engine, and the lateral length is short, so a special aisle is vacated, if it is your own tank, it can't be so modified, it can only be reversed before and after.
Add a simple aisle, like a hallway?
Hearing Qin Zhenhua's introduction, the eyes of several people flashed with light, in contrast, they were obviously more interested in this plan, with the least transformation cost, to achieve the transformation of the strongest infantry fighting vehicle!
The front and back adjustment, to put it simply, in fact, there are a lot of problems involved, although it is five pairs of load wheels, but the weight of each pair of load wheels is not the same.
The first pair of load-bearing wheels of the T-55 tank bears the greatest weight, because the tank has thick armor in front, and when it is reversed, the load is wasted.
Qin Zhenhua didn't know that he was talking here today, and he actually gave them a new strange idea, so, within a few years, a strange heavy infantry fighting vehicle really appeared, at that time, after seeing it, Qin Zhenhua couldn't help but sigh, Lao Tzu is really a genius.
