Chapter 687: The Test at the Kubinka Proving Ground

800, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the Great Power Heavy Tan!

"So, we can't stop R&D." Qin Zhenhua said: "The existing 105mm tank gun still has great potential, and we have gained a lot of valuable experience from exchanges with the Israelis, so we must continue to improve the existing 105mm tank gun and develop new armor-piercing shells to obtain greater penetration, and at the same time, we can also continue to lengthen the barrel of the 105mm tank gun to obtain greater power." ”

In fact, since the introduction of the L7 tank gun, we have been improving, the original copy of the original is called the Type 79, and then there is the Type 81, and now, there will be the Type 83, improving the process again and again, improving the performance again and again, and constantly tapping the potential of this tank gun.

There's still a lot of potential to be tapped! It has been improved and is still suitable for the development of domestic tanks! This is a suggestion from Qin Zhenhua, and now, the country still can't stop, and it must continue to improve.

"On the other hand, the 120-mm tank gun that we have dismounted is still very powerful, so before our 125-mm tank gun is successfully developed, in order not to waste it, I suggest that this tank gun can be mounted on a self-propelled chassis and become a self-propelled anti-tank gun, no matter how the Soviets improve, in front of our 120mm tank gun, it will have to kneel." Qin Zhenhua continued.

Now, this is a rare opportunity! I just make the first sales pitch to the army.

The Second Machine Factory is currently making relevant efforts, and Qin Zhenhua knows that they are unwilling to abandon their 120 mm high-pressure smoothbore to run, and now, taking advantage of the threat of this war, they will give an introduction to the army first.

The army's military budget is tight, and it is impossible to sell it at one time, so that the army can make up its mind to equip it, but this time it is foreshadowing, and it will be introduced later, it is considered an appearance, in the hearts of the army, it is considered to have such an impression, if you think that the 105 mm tank gun is not powerful enough, what should you do? Don't worry, our 120mm self-propelled anti-tank gun is already under development! The performance is very powerful, do you want to take a look?

"Self-propelled anti-tank guns?" Hearing Qin Zhenhua's introduction, Luo Ronggen's eyes immediately widened: "You mean, the Second Machine Factory has not given up this tank gun?" ”

"yes." Qin Zhenhua said: "This tank gun, it can't be used on the tank, we have to find a new use, they entrusted us with a machine factory, develop a corresponding chassis, to load this tank gun, into a self-propelled anti-tank gun, Uncle Luo, the army is not interested in this?" ”

Luo Ronggen nodded heavily: "Of course I'm interested, I really didn't expect that the second machine factory would have such a big deal, if it can be installed on the self-propelled chassis, it is really a good innovation, but you don't want the army's investment, the army can finally have an order, it is already very good." ”

The military's military spending is very tight, and it is impossible for them to invest in research and development, but if the results of research are produced and the army passes the test, then the purchase of a batch is an inevitable result.

Before the 125mm tank gun was unsuccessful, the huge power of this 120mm tank gun was enough for the army to use it as a killer weapon.

After thinking about it, Luo Ronggen thought of something again: "This kind of self-propelled anti-tank gun, did you kid think of it?" ”

When he went to the Second Machine Factory for a meeting, Qin Zhenhua was also there, if there was no credit for Qin Zhenhua, Luo Ronggen would not believe it, he must have contributed to it.

"Such a thick barrel has been developed, if it is not equipped, it will be a waste." Qin Zhenhua scratched his scalp and said, he didn't answer Luo Ronggen's words directly, but saying this was actually a tacit acquiescence.

"When it's finalized, I'll give you credit." Luo Ronggen said with a smile.

Just here in a machine factory, when countermeasures were being discussed because of the scenes shown in this battle, in the Soviet Union, at the Kubinka test site, a group of old men were busy here.

As the designer of the T-72 tank, Kartsev was also famous in the Soviet Union, and he relied on the model of the T-72 tank to bring up the Nizhny Tagil Design Bureau all of a sudden, and became a first-class tank design bureau in the Soviet Union that could compete with the Morozov Design Bureau.

The T-64 and T-80 of the Morozov Design Bureau are all for their own use, so no matter how advanced, they cannot make a name for themselves internationally, but the T-72 is different, as a low-end product in the high-low mix, this tank has begun to be exported to friendly countries in large quantities, and even production lines have been established in some countries for the production of such tanks.

It's like the Mikoyan Design Bureau and the Sukhoi Design Bureau, in the USSR, they were both equally famous, but in the world, the big guys only know the Mikoyan Design Bureau, because the MiGs are export products, but the Sukhoi Design Bureau, most of the fighters are for their own use, it seems to be unknown.

A good reputation is not easy to come by, and moreover, they also have to think about the performance of domestic tanks in the Soviet Union.

"Tests of the T-72A begin!" It was in Kartsev's mind that the experiment began.

"Boom!" A captured M60 tank opened fire, and the M111 armor-piercing shells flew out of the muzzle and, in the eyes of everyone, flew to the T-72A, which had just rolled off the production line at the tank factory.

From the telescope, you can clearly see that the hull of the tank has moved, and it should have been hit, but what is the effect after the hit, it will have to wait for the final inspection.

"Second shot, shoot!"

"Boom!" The second cannon fire began.

The tragic scene of the martyrdom on the battlefield will not appear here, how can the tank that was used as a target, with no fuel and no explosives in it, be martyred? It's just a hole.

Therefore, the tanks tested at the shooting range, many times, are fired with a dozen or even dozens of shells, and then they will stop for everyone to study.

But today, after only five shells, everyone was already unable to hold back.

"Stop shooting!" Kartsev shouted: "Let's go and see!" ”

The smoke of gunpowder was filled, and in the Kubinka experimental range, a variety of ammunition had been tested, and the staff here had long been accustomed to it, but today, they did not have the usual peace of mind, and all of them ran towards the T-72A tank two kilometers away, can this tank block the attack of armor-piercing shells?

Sitting in the commuter car at the base, Kartsev's heart was worried, and when he got closer, his heart was already sinking, the T-72 tank, the hull, turned outward white metal faults, and the outside of the V-shaped wave shield, there was already an obvious big hole.

This armor-piercing bullet actually destroyed the upper armor of the hull from the front!
