However, even if there is no engine, there is no such weight, less than 20 tons, what kind of order of magnitude is this?

Qin Zhenhua continued to observe this tank, and soon discovered another mystery, the surface of the body of this tank, there are some fixtures, protruding, these devices are not conspicuous at all under the special camouflage, and you can only know when you get closer.

What does that mean?

The hull, turret, of this car is just a basic layer of armor!

For tanks, the heaviest is of course the armor, especially the composite armor, like the Chobham armor invented by the British, which is made of ceramics and is quite dense.

And what about this Leclerc tank? When it was designed, the idea of modularity was adopted, and it used a steel all-welded hull and turret, which itself had nothing more than a layer of base armor, and then added composite armor around it, which was beneficial.

After a tank is manufactured, it may be in service for decades, and during these times, the tank's armor technology is constantly evolving.

Ordinary tanks, even if they use composite armor, are directly welded into the hull, and it is difficult to upgrade, but now? The use of this modular armor technology means that after waiting for the performance of composite armor to improve, it can be replaced with new composite armor at any time to achieve higher combat effectiveness.

The French have always been proud of their own tanks, and for a reason, engines, fire control, armor, etc., are distinctive.

What now?

Now their real tank prototype has not yet been built, and what was sent to the exhibition is just such a hull welded with thin armor!

It's just a shell, and it is estimated that those ostentatious exaggerated sights on it are just a shell, and there is probably nothing in it.

However, this did not prevent the French from participating in the exhibition, showing off their advanced tanks, and trying to sell them, of course, they would probably use secrecy as an excuse not to let people go inside, but only to see the shells outside, and then there would be a cordon.

People want to take pictures, they want to take pictures as much as they can, they want to go up and see them, it's impossible.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Pierre next to him again and said, "This gentleman, can we take a look at the inside of this tank?" ”

"No, no, this tank is our most powerful tank in France, and it contains a lot of our secrets, secrets that must not be divulged, you can't look at it." The other party said, and after speaking, the words changed: "If you are really interested, you can order our tanks, more than three hundred, and you can see them at any time." ”

Order your tanks?

The weapons and equipment of the French are not the best, not as good as the United States and the Soviet Union, but the price is definitely the highest, after all, they are aiming at the blank area of arms sales between the United States and the Soviet Union, and those countries want to buy, almost only French weapons can choose.

Compare it with the Leopard-2, which is not necessarily higher than the Leopard-2 in terms of technical performance, but the price, to say the least, is twice that of the Leopard-2.

"You've brought a lot of good things, what's that?" Qin Zhenhua's words just now are just a temptation, it is said that if a country wants to sell its own weapons, it doesn't mind letting customers go up to experience it, when he went abroad, he drove Chivoltan, and now, the other party is not allowed to go up to see it at all, so it must be an empty shell.

However, to be able to participate in your own defense exhibition, that is, to give yourself a face, there is no need to dismantle the platform, as for the booth, of course, you have to put some thought, just put it together with your own 85-2AP tanks, when the time comes, your own tanks, casually visit inside and outside, the other party's tanks, fenced and not allowed to see, at that time, they will definitely be pointed at.

Qin Zhenhua became interested in other things again, pointed to a trailer behind him and asked, on that trailer, you can see that it is a naval gun!

This is an international defense exhibition, and the equipment displayed is naturally not only the equipment of the army, but also the equipment of the air force is mainly displayed at the air show, so the exhibits of the navy will also join in the excitement.

At present, the main warships in China, the naval guns are still the old Type 76 twin 130 mm naval guns, which are just the technology of the Soviet Union in the fifties.

Now, the naval gun in front of me has an angular appearance and looks beautiful, although there is only one barrel, but it still looks very powerful.

Seeing Qin Zhenhua staring at the naval gun, Pierre became interested again: "This naval gun is the most advanced naval gun in our country, its caliber is 100 mm, the rate of fire is the first in the world, and the purpose of our design is to plan to use one cannon for multiple purposes, taking into account the 76 mm air defense capability and the 127 mm sea and ground strike capability." ”

Qin Zhenhua is not particularly familiar with the navy's equipment, but when it comes to naval guns, he still knows a little, after all, the tank guns of the World War II period were too late to be specially developed, so they directly pulled the navy's naval guns over and used them.

Large-caliber naval guns have a large projectile weight, great power, and a long range, but the rate of fire cannot go up, so many times, they are used to strike at the sea surface, and this is represented by the 127-mm naval guns of the West.

The small-caliber naval guns, with a fast rate of fire, can form a sufficient barrage in a short time, mainly for air defense, and this kind of naval guns are represented by 76-mm naval guns in the West.

On Western warships, 76 mm naval guns on frigates and 127 mm naval guns on destroyers are already a common practice, but the French are mavericks, and they have made a 100 mm naval gun between these calibers, trying to make a hodgepodge of everything.

Qin Zhenhua can't deny this, he can't just open his mouth to evaluate things that he is not familiar with, this is Qin Zhenhua's principle, but from the bottom of his heart, he feels that it seems to be problematic to do so.

Things often have two sides, originally envisioned to take into account all aspects, but in the end they are not perfect, take their own tanks as an example, in history, how many designers want to put missiles on the tank, but the result is disgraced?

At this time, Shen Xiwen also arrived, warmly greeted the first Western delegation in place, introduced them to them, and learned that Qin Zhenhua was the person in charge of the most famous machine factory in the eastern country.

"You don't need to design any new tanks at all, just buy ours."

"The production line? Of course, the production line will not work, the technology in it is too complicated, and you will not be able to build it if I leave it to you. ”
