"Oh, the air on the prairie is really nostalgic." It's already May, and the grasslands are full of life, full of green fields, and large flocks of sheep in the distance are like clouds dotted on the turquoise meadows.

Professor Wang Limin and Professor Cao Jianli stood on the grassland like this, breathing the air and looking at the scene, as if they had returned to the passionate era of the past.

"Yes, although I have been to a machine factory a few times, every time I come and go in a hurry, such leisure, it is really too rare." Professor Cao Jianli also sighed for a while: "But, Zhenhua, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?" We still have key R&D projects at hand. ”

The two of them were called from the capital by Qin Zhenhua on a phone call, saying that there was a major project to discuss, but after coming, did they only come here to see the grassland? It's so laid-back, it's really a little puzzling.

If it's just for fun, it's a little too relaxing, right?

"The two of you are a little restless, knowing that they have been busy with scientific research projects recently, this has to be a combination of work and rest, come here, you can relax. By the way, after a while, I also prepared a roasted whole lamb for the two of you. There are also authentic steppe stuffy donkeys. ”

"You." Professor Wang Limin shook his head helplessly, the scene of his acquaintance with Qin Zhenhua at the beginning surfaced in his heart, I remember that at that time, there was a student under him who was secretly competing with Qin Zhenhua, but he was vomited.

The people on the grassland have a heroic personality, they like to drink, and they also like to entertain guests, this time they came, since Qin Zhenhua refused to say it, it would be regarded as tourism.

Just as he was thinking this, suddenly, a rumbling sound sounded in the distance, and then, over there, a strange-looking vehicle drove up.

If you look at it from the outside, this should be an armored car, the whole hull has some ship-shaped structure, which also takes into account the needs of water navigation, and the 63 armored car is somewhat similar, but if you look at the following, you can find that the following is not a track, but a wheel!

On the grassland, of course, you can't drive a chariot with tracks, after all, this is a pasture, a place for steppe people to graze, and if the tracks run over, the turf along the way will not be destroyed.

"Zhenhua, what is this?" Wang Limin asked Qin Zhenhua, and seemed to have guessed what Qin Zhenhua meant by inviting them over, and it was estimated that it had something to do with this car.

"This is our latest wheeled infantry fighting vehicle." Qin Zhenhua said: "It was built with Mercedes-Benz technology. The performance is quite good, and now, it has been selected as an 8*910 project project, how about it? ”

This project has been spread in the industry, and everyone is holding back their energy, and at this time, Qin Zhenhua naturally has a deep meaning when he talks about this.

Wang Limin's eyes were fixed on the car, watching it speed on the grassland, coming over this side at high speed, and then said, "This is your purpose?" ”

Qin Zhenhua smiled and said, "What do you think?" Aren't our Red Arrow-8 missiles looking for a suitable launcher? Compared with 212 and NJ211B, the performance is much better. ”

After the successful development of the Red Arrow 73, the team led by Wang Limin began the research and development of the second-generation anti-tank missile, which was officially finalized last year.

The original design was just an ordinary tripod launch method, a missile operator lying on the ground, can aim and shoot, similar to the launch of the Red Arrow-73, but after all, this is just an ordinary way, can not meet the diverse needs.

Of course, the army's anti-tank missile unit also needs to have the ability to maneuver, that is, it needs to be equipped with this kind of missile on the vehicle, and there is no doubt that it must be a vehicle with off-road ability.

Now I have begun to choose, there are two main ones.

In China, 212 is a big name, this old car has been in service for decades, and it still has good performance, even if it is in 2020, the old car codenamed Erdan is still a sharp weapon for those who lack funds in hand and want to play off-road.

Therefore, this anti-tank missile is planned to be installed on 212 jeeps to meet the needs of mobile combat of the troops.

At the same time, there is another option, which is NJ211B. In contrast, the latter is more specialized, which is produced by the Yuejin Automobile Factory in Nandu.

At that time, after a complete break with the Soviet Union, all light off-road vehicles equipped in the army were BJ212 models. On its basis, there is a series with light weapons and medium-caliber recoilless guns, it's just that if such weapons want to pose a threat to tanks, it is impossible.

Therefore, China began to develop a new generation of off-road vehicles, which need to have scalability and large space, good carrying capacity and excellent mobility. At the time of development, it was planned to carry the Red Arrow series of anti-tank missiles, which could pose a threat to the tank forces of the Soviets.

The Yuejin plant accepted the task and began to improve a four-wheel-drive van produced in 1966, borrowed from the Soviet Union's Ulyanovsk automobile factory.

There is also a reason for this, because at the beginning of the development of this four-wheel drive van, it was intended to be used with the GAZ-69, and this car is the domestic 212.

After more than ten years of research and development, Yuejin factory adopts an inline six-cylinder NJ-70H engine, equipped with a 4-speed transmission, a transfer case with high and low speed switching, front and rear hard axle non-independent suspension, front and rear drum brakes, and an off-road vehicle with a parking system between the rear drive shafts, and has been successfully developed.

Outwardly, this car is similar to a van, in the style of a battlefield ambulance, and now, this car has been converted into an anti-tank missile launcher, which has entered the final stage.

This van, the central space is very large, so the built-in Red Arrow 8 launch mechanism, due to unreliable pneumatic operation, the manual lifting structure is used.

In this way, it is possible to prepare the launch in the car, and then the weapon mechanism can be cranked by hand, the roof hatch is opened and the weapon system is raised, and the shooter can make a 360-degree all-round fire while standing on the circular pedal.

It seems to be more advanced, but it just solves the problem of whether there is or not!

Qin Zhenhua said very bluntly, our wheeled infantry fighting vehicle is the most advanced in performance, strong off-road, can accompany the armored troops to advance, and even as a reconnaissance vehicle for armored troops, when the enemy's traces are found, they can also use the equipped Red Arrow 8 missiles to beat the enemy at any time!

If you want to talk about the performance of the chassis, whether it is 212 or Nanjing's off-road vehicle, it can't be compared with it at all, and when it comes to armor protection and the like, it can't be compared.

That's the best choice!
