This is actually the same as the tank turret, the tank gun shield is the thickest place, what about the top of the turret? The top is the weakest, that is, the structure of thin steel plates, which is also to minimize the weight of the tank, add up the protection of the places that need protection, and weaken the places that are not needed, if the top of the tank and the back of the gun shield are the same, the tank will become a terrible monster weighing more than 100 tons, or even 200 tons.

At the same time, this is also because when the cannonball on the opposite side flies over, that is, it hits the gun shield in front, and it is impossible to hit the top of the turret, after all, when the cannonball comes, the trajectory is almost parallel to the top of the turret, if it really hits, it is not the thickness of the top of the turret that is protected, but the length of the front and back of the top of the turret, which has long exceeded one meter.

Of course, when the shell flies over, there is still an angle of falling, and it is impossible to be absolutely parallel to the top of the turret, but it doesn't matter, such a large angle of incidence, if you really hit it, it will be like a drift, and it will definitely bounce the shell away.

Since the top of the turret can be done in this way, the hull of the tank can naturally be done in this way.

For a long time, in order to increase the protective force of the car body, they have made the car body also become a large inclination, in this way to increase the protective force, in this way, the thickness of the tank body is also quite large, the front was originally a tapered cross-section, the top is thick, what about the lower body? The following should be lightning protection, and it can't be thin? So? The space inside is severely reduced.

In order to increase the protection of the tank in the case of minimizing the dead weight? So? The Americans came up with the design of the M1 tank's first bulletproof, on the hull? Just like the top of the turret, just a thin piece of armor? The main protective force? It's provided from below, and if the shells are coming, it's good to hit them below.

Such a design can be said to be a bold attempt? Anyway, it's for Lao Ba? The latest design, just take it out.

Of course, if it is the ammunition that attacks the top again, it is absolutely sad, Qin Zhenhua once made a suggestion to Professor Wang? Let him design an anti-tank missile that can jump and dive at the last moment? Directly hit the top.

However, there is no solution to this kind of fundamentals? If you really hit the top, it's useless to add thicker? Now it's still just a matter of considering conventional protection.

Two different design concepts? Can you see it clearly from the side view of the tank? If the upper armor in front of the hull is horizontal, it is a thin steel plate, and it is not expected to be able to withstand the impact of the opposite shell, if the upper armor in front is slanted, then it means that this layer of armor is used as the main protective armor, and there will be some tall things such as composite materials in it, constantly stuffed with this tank.

Now, other tanks of the eastern powers are the latter, using the first armor to protect against bullets, and this concept is being applied to practice for the first time.

Berg thought about it for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, let's build a prototype according to this concept first." ”

He did not completely deny it, after all, this design of the M1 tank is also used, which shows that it is still reliable enough. Now that they've started allocating funds, they need to build a prototype first and see how it works.

In order to develop a new tank, it is necessary to build a prototype, just like the Indians opposite, the prototype of the Arjun tank, which was built several years ago, and then what? And then, of course, there were decades of testing.

Through the testing of the prototype, constantly finding problems and solving problems, Lao Ba is now going to take the first step, first build the prototype, and see the effect!

"As for its turret, we wanted to be able to use a lot of existing components, after all, it would be the best for us to retrofit our production line." Berg continued to explain their request.

When Lao Ba used to produce 69 tanks, it was aimed at the ultimate goal of producing advanced third-generation tanks, and their national economic situation also determined that they could not waste it, and now the production of 85 tanks also used a lot of parts and solutions from previous tanks, and now, in the production of Khalid tanks, of course, as much as possible should not change the previous production.

Qin Zhenhua nodded: "We will try our best to take this need into account." However, due to the current design philosophy, we will be adding a layer of reactive armor protection to the Khalid tank, thereby increasing the tank's protection. ”

"Reactive armor, of course it couldn't be better." When Berg heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

In the battle in the Beta Valley, Israel's troops showed their might, and at the same time, Israeli tanks wearing reactive armor became a beautiful scenery, and after the war, countries began to develop reactive armor.

The Soviets moved the fastest, and now the Soviets' tanks are almost all bricks, and the big countries in the East are not to be outdone, and already have their own reactive armor.

When the main armor is insufficient, adding reactive armor is the perfect solution, not only to build new tanks, but also to retrofit old ones.

"As for firepower, we are already satisfied with your existing 125mm tank gun, and we believe that it will be able to cope with the threat for a long time to come." "At the same time, in order to ensure our logistical unity, we will continue to use the 125 mm tank guns of the Eastern powers as the main tank firepower, and at the same time, we also expect you to upgrade the firepower of the 59 tanks to 125 mm calibers," Berg said. ”

The big country in the east, firepower is king, so, in the tank artillery, Lao Ba has been completely convinced, especially a few months ago, the big country in the east carried out a live fire performance of 85 tanks, which can be regarded as a public demonstration of the firepower level of their tank guns, that display, shocked the whole world, so that the tank troops of many countries are silently thinking about whether their tanks can resist the bombardment of 85 tanks from the big countries in the east.

Berg's demands were all said, and after Qin Zhenhua wrote down all these requirements, it was Qin Zhenhua's turn to speak.

"Our first machine factory has started the design a year ago, and now we have a complete set of design solutions." Qin Zhenhua said: "Now, let me introduce you to the design of our Khalid tank. ”

Although it is only now that it has really begun to be implemented, the relevant pre-research has already started in a machine factory, and when Qin Zhenhua put out the carefully prepared slides, the officers of the old bus present suddenly straightened their eyes.
