M1 tank!

This tank, it can be said that it is a well-deserved king tank in this era, from the failure of the project with Germany, separated, the Germans engaged in the Leopard-2, the Americans engaged in the M1, this tank in the process of research and development, the Americans may think that the 105 mm gun is enough, anyway, people have more advanced armor-piercing shells, so the 105 mm gun was used first.

As a result, a three-generation tank with a wide and domineering hull looked a little incongruous with a small barrel, but this was only temporary, and a few years later, the improvement project of the M1A1 began, and the focus of this improvement was to put on the 120 mm gun.

Although there have been a lot of dirty, however, the Americans did not plan to do it themselves, but imported a full set of Rh-120 120 mm 44 times the diameter smoothbore gun from Germany under the production license, and the United States also made some improvements, such as the upright wedge bolt, the addition of a barrel hot sleeve and a large cylindrical smoke exhaust device, and the muzzle correction device was changed to a more secure locking bolt, after which the Americans gave it the M-256 number and installed it in their own M1 tanks, This kind of tank with a changed barrel is called M1A1.

Although it is said that the German cannon is still used, the shells are their own, and the same gun, with different shells, the power will also vary greatly, which is already recognized by the world.

Now, with the new tank gun, the M1A1 can be said to have no weaknesses and is a completely balanced tank.

It's just that this is not in the United States, and there are no Americans nearby, and they suddenly mentioned the M1 tank, so what's going on?

It was Mr. Calamat who spoke with the chief of staff and who had also appeared frequently in public, and at this time, he was sighing: "Speaking of tank guns, we must not only look at the thickness of the muzzle, but also look at the technology of the entire gun, the 120-mm gun of the Americans is definitely higher than the 125-mm gun of the T-72." ”

He just compared with the T-72 and did not say how it compares with the 85 tank, after all, everyone is good friends, so it is quite impolite to say such things.

However, there seems to be a word in that sentence.

"That's right." Qin Zhenhua said: "It is not appropriate to compare the barrel alone, the same barrel bears the same chamber pressure, but the design of the armor-piercing shell is different, and the power brought by the end is also very different, take the 100 slide of our 69 tank as an example, several improvements, the power has more than doubled." Our 105 mm guns, specially developed artillery shells, have also surpassed the original artillery shells imported from the United Kingdom, and we have a lot of experience in how to tap the potential. ”

Our machine factory naturally knows the doorway here, so don't say that our 125mm guns can't compare with the 120mm guns of the Americans, and the technology of others is more advanced, and in this regard, we are not laymen.

This is what Qin Zhenhua wants to express.

"Moreover, we also have a 120 mm gun, you have seen its power, but you dislike the 120 mm barrel is not thick enough, so you chose the 125 mm caliber." Qin Zhenhua said with a smile.

The question of caliber is not a blind choice, it can't be shaken back and forth, didn't you want a 125-mm gun before? This is for you.

Besides, we are not afraid, in order to promote the international market, whether it is 125 mm or 120 mm, we have technical reserves, and we will install whatever you want.

As he spoke, the tarpaulin had been untied, and all the outlines of the car body appeared in front of everyone, and the overall look was quite good.

"On the sides of the turret, a grille has been added." Qin Zhenhua pointed to the horizontal device like a fence over there and said: "In peacetime, it can be used to put some things, and in battle, this layer of grille can detonate the armored jet in advance and protect the turret." ”

This is also a small idea, usually it is a fence, you can put things, large bags and small packages, just put it on the line, it is quite convenient, and when fighting, whether it is an RPG or an armor-piercing projectile, it can be detonated in advance to increase the protection capacity of the tank.

In this era, grille armor has been taken seriously, especially on the side and back, and it is necessary to guard against the sneak attack of some RPGs, which is simple and practical.

The engine behind it began to start, and in the roar of starting, Qin Zhenhua continued: "At present, this 1,000-horsepower diesel engine, the overall test time is more than 10,000, we have also accumulated a lot of use data, and the design takes into account the use of tropical areas. We are very confident. ”

After several years of testing, from the initial 1226F2 tank to the current 85 tank, several engines have been scrapped, and a large number of test data have been obtained.

This time it was shipped over to conduct a detailed test, and it could also give the other party a bottom in their hearts, and according to the current process, the other party is already properly equipped with this tank, and there will be no unexpected changes, just to enhance their confidence.

With a 1,000-horsepower diesel engine and a cannon barrel, you should be very happy with this product.

Dissatisfied? What are the requirements, you can continue to change it.

While everyone was talking, the tank had begun to get off the trailer, the tracks slowly shaking, coming down little by little, the tankers were driving very carefully, and finally, the tracks of the tank touched the ground, and the tracks with rubber were crushed for the first time.

"In the next few days, let's start testing." "We now continue to equip modern tanks against the T-72 and can no longer wait for it to appear in our troops and show off our demeanor with a 125-millimeter barrel," Berg said. ”

For Lao Ba, the 85 tank is a kind of transition, a transitional model of the product before they have a more advanced tank, and what everyone values the most is the fourth step in the four steps, after cooperating in the production of the 85 tank, and finally being able to produce the most advanced Khalid tank.

This is also an important mission of Qin Zhenhua this time.

"We look forward to the 85 tank to protect your territory, and we are even more looking forward to the start of the next generation of the Khalid main battle tank project." Qin Zhenhua changed the topic.

"Khalid main battle tank?" Kalamat said on the side: "Mr. Qin, there is no need for this project. ”
