Chapter 461: T-72's Automatic Loader
The chubby Ali was standing in front of his T-72 tank, and when Qin Zhenhua walked to his side, he suddenly became childlike and asked him: "Hey, little fat man, are you aggrieved inside?" ”
Zhang Donglin felt a burst of embarrassment, he originally came to be a translator, but he didn't take it to heart, it was just a tolerance, but who would have thought that this Qin Zhenhua always didn't play cards according to the routine, Qin Zhenhua's words, if they were translated as straight, they wouldn't make people turn their faces.
He could only beautify the words as much as possible, translate the past, and hearing the other party's concern, Ali felt very excited at this time: "Thank you for your concern, it's much more comfortable than being in a T-55 tank." ”
Qin Zhenhua nodded, the tanks of the Soviets have always paid no attention to ergonomics, and the interior is quite crowded, which is in stark contrast to the West, for them, it doesn't matter, anyway, the smaller the projection area of the tank, the smaller the probability of being shot, when recruiting tank soldiers, just find a small man.
And the tanks in the West are all tall and big, there is no way, there are no small people in the West.
The interior of the T-72 is spacious, also because it is a three-person driving system, while caring about this fat armored soldier, maliciously speculating whether this guy can get in from the hatch cover and whether it will get stuck, Qin Zhenhua climbed onto the T-72 tank and looked towards the inside of the tank.
"I have to check carefully, since we want to compare, then we have to be fair and objective." Qin Zhenhua said: "Little fat man, you can introduce to me how the shells are arranged." ”
In fact, Qin Zhenhua's heart was already extremely excited.
Automatic loader, automatic loader!
The technology of the tank is constantly improving, the armor of the tank is getting thicker and thicker, the firepower of the tank is getting more and more fierce, and the shells of the tank are getting bigger and bigger, and when the caliber is 120 mm, it has reached the limit of the armored corps.
The tank space in the West is sufficient, and there are five strong men in it, especially the Americans, who have used Uncle Black as a human loader, and some have strength.
However, the tanks of the Soviets are not good, their tank crews are all small people, and their strength is not as great as that of the West, and their tank guns, still of 125 mm caliber, have reached the limit of manpower loading.
So, when the T-64 tank carried a 125-mm tank gun for the first time, an automatic loader was also applied internally.
This can also be regarded as a change in tank technology, the use of automatic loader, reduce the labor intensity of the tanker, improve the combat efficiency, and at the same time, make the tank finally appear slightly wider.
Of course, only slightly.
The T-72 tank still uses a cast round turret, so the internal space is not large, and at this time, looking at the past, you can see that the circumference of this turret is a circle of shells, which is somewhat similar to the design of the revolver, and inside the turret, the loading mechanism of the automatic loader in the middle separates the gun commander and the commander.
The inside still has the characteristics of a rugged old hair, and the loader is completely bare, if you accidentally put your hand in it when you play it, then click it, and your arm will be gone.
Qin Zhenhua was amazed, and at the same time, he was also thinking about his own next-generation tank, his third-generation tank, would there be a need for an automatic loader? If so, what would it look like?
If the ammunition in the turret seat is detonated, that scene, tsk, is definitely hell for tank crews.
"It's just a part of the ammunition on top of this, where is the ammunition below?" Qin Zhenhua continued to ask.
"Over there." The chubby Ali, but he was a rather flexible fat man, had already jumped on the tank at this time, poked his head into the turret, and gave Qin Zhenhua guidance.
The automatic loader can only hold 22 shells, and the rest are placed in the spare mechanism below, and if the shells on the automatic loader are finished, then they will be reloaded manually.
It's just that with this kind of ammunition in separate packs, the rate of fire will definitely be greatly reduced if the warhead is stuffed with the launch canister.
Of course, in the case of real combat, it is rarely necessary to reload manually, and in general, twenty shells are not bad for one mission.
"Well, yes, how is the ammunition distributed?" Qin Zhenhua continued to ask.
Armor-piercing bullets, armor-piercing bullets, grenades, how to distribute the three, is also particular, and how to distinguish the composition of these ammunition on the automatic loader is also a science.
Qin Zhenhua was still asking, and the following Ivanov had already begun to urge: "Hey, have you seen enough?" ”
Just to check if the inside is fully loaded, is it necessary to study it so carefully? Hmph, when you see our automatic loader, you're envious, isn't it?
Ivanov thought like this below, and began to urge Qin Zhenhua, but he couldn't let him see these equipment without restrictions.
"Stingy." Qin Zhenhua said: "Our tanks, let them open up to see and inspect. ”
Our tank, which was improved from the 59 tank, so, it is almost exactly the same as the other side's T-55 tank, there is nothing to see.
In particular, the fuel tank of the gun carriage is even more obvious at a glance.
The interior space of the T-54 series tank is crowded, and in order to accommodate more shells, the designers are also racking their brains, and the final result is that the fuel tank of this gun carriage is made into a honeycomb shape, which is just stuffed into the shells, which can be regarded as the ultimate use of space.
However, the consequence is that if the welding is not firm, it is easy to leak oil.
Now, Ivanov went up, naturally, he couldn't see anything, of course, the radio station in it was replaced, and the sights seemed to have changed, but this thing, just looking at a shell, couldn't see anything.
Ali was very interested in the internal air-conditioning system, and after watching it for a while, an envious expression was written on his face, making Qin Zhenhua joke with him, should they replace their troop equipment with 69 tanks in the future?
Ali shook his head, they are the ace army in China, and they can't like the old and hate the new for the sake of an air conditioner.
After all the inspections are completed, the preparations before the competition are almost over.
"Adviser Ivanov, our tank, it's been checked, there's no problem, right?" Qin Zhenhua asked Ivanov.
Ivanov nodded, in order to prevent the other party from turning on the air conditioner, he directly put a seal on the air conditioner, and now, the other party can no longer cheat.
"Well, that's total."
"So, you're not going to have another moth, are you?"
"Of course not."
"Okay, Erzhu, get ready to equip, let's go!" Qin Zhenhua shouted.
