Of course, Qin Zhenhua can also guess the other party's thoughts, and the other party is not afraid of his own surveying and imitation, because the current domestic production technology level is limited, and it is simply unable to produce this kind of engine.

This can be seen by the Israelis, and Qin Zhenhua can also see it, so if the country wants to buy a German diesel engine mapping and imitation, Qin Zhenhua has already judged that it will not work, and now, he is planning to buy 396 diesel, for this kind of behavior, Qin Zhenhua can only be a helpless bystander.

You can't control everything.

Now, when the Israelis agree to their purchase request, they are actually casting a long line to catch a big fish, and what if they use it smoothly and then place an order? The country has a huge tank base, even if you choose only a part of it to change clothes, it is a very good income.

That's why they agreed so easily, it's all for business.

"Of course, if you have a need, not only the engine, but also our entire set of modification programs can be transplanted to you." Mr. Tarr said.

Seeing that the guests of the eastern powers are so interested, of course Mr. Tal will continue to sell, although the eastern powers are also transforming their own 59 tanks, but it is not necessarily the best plan, what if their own plan is more attractive to the other party? That's big business.

"Mr. Tár, there is a saying that it is called taking other people's paths, so that others have no way out, you are trying to rob us of the business of a machine factory." As soon as Qin Zhenhua's words came out, everyone laughed.

The first day of the expedition was over, and after spending a night in a foreign country, the second day, the delegation continued with the next project, and after inspecting the modified tanks, it was time to inspect the new tanks.

"We have long realized the importance of in-house development." Mr. Tarr continued to entertain the group: "We have been developing since more than ten years ago, and, according to our own way of fighting, we have taken an unusual path, although there are many doubts, but, so far, our army units are relatively satisfied. ”

They took an unusual path.

Tanks of any country, with the exception of them, are of a normal layout, with a cockpit in front, a turret in the middle, and an engine in the back.

However, the Merkava tank is different, this tank developed with American military aid, the engine is arranged in the front, so that the turret can be seen further back, so the shape is quite strange.

In fact, needless to say, the overall layout, just this one turret is also extremely special.

The turret of this tank is pointed out, which is quite strange, like a duck's beak, and the tilt of the frontal armor of tanks of other countries may be about 30 or 40 degrees, but what about this kind of turret? The armor inclination angle is estimated to reach 80 degrees!

This characteristic leads to a super large equivalent thickness of the armor and a small frontal bomb area, but at the same time, it also makes the space inside the turret extremely narrow, at least the front turret armor, there is almost no space inside.

When it comes to protection, the Israelis have gone to an extreme.

Now, everyone is on the production line of the Merkava tank, looking at the final assembly of this tank, looking at this strangely shaped tank.

"Protection always comes first for you." Qin Zhenhua said: "Firepower, mobility, protection, you have the ultimate pursuit in protection. ”

In China, the pursuit of firepower is king, for a tank, for a combat weapon, of course, the most powerful attack power is crucial.

However, this is not the case in the eyes of the Israelis, who pursue, firstly, protection, secondly, firepower, and thirdly, mobility.

The Merkava tank is a product created under this line of thinking.

Because the engine is arranged in the front, this tank also has a special rear hatch, which looks somewhat similar to an infantry fighting vehicle, Qin Zhenhua bent over, got inside, and looked at the internal structure.

"Hey, the space in here is not small, when it is critical, I think it can be stuffed into half an infantry squad." Qin Zhenhua said with a smile and quipped.

If you don't put shells, the space behind is not small, and such a heavy tank is born with the potential to be an infantry fighting vehicle.

"You're laughing." "A tank is a tank, an infantry fighting vehicle is an infantry fighting vehicle, and this cannot be mixed," Mr. Tarr said. ”

"Why can't you mix them? They are all used to fight, we have a saying, it is called whether it is a white cat or a black cat, the one who catches the mouse is a good cat, for you, whether it is a tank or an infantry fighting vehicle, as long as it can win the battle, it is a good chariot. ”

Qin Zhenhua is more and more excited, since this is a strange tank, of course he has to say some strange ideas, anyway, the space behind is not small.

"Especially your side, not only in the field, but also in many cases, but also in the city, infantry fighting vehicles are thin-skinned and stuffed, and they can't provide enough protection for the infantry, at most they can only defend against machine gun bullets, which is obviously not enough, and they have to be able to prevent RPGs at least, which only tanks can do."

How do you present yourself as an expert? Of course, you have to move the other party and follow your own ideas!

The Merkava tank, with a 900-horsepower engine and a weight of 61 tons, said that the British had gone very far on the road of protection, and the most partial, the Israelis.

Aren't they protective of themselves? It's better to use a tank as an infantry fighting vehicle.

"Well, the space behind this can probably be stuffed into a mortar, do you want to try it?"

"What did you say—" Tal was about to retort, when suddenly, it dawned on him, yes, if you stuff a mortar into it, in the city, maybe it will work wonders? After all, this is a warp weapon!

Mortars are fired in a curved way, and tank guns are direct-fired, so if there is an enemy attacking from behind several buildings, the tank guns are not very useful, but the mortars can hit them.

Equipping a merkava with a mortar seems to be of some use, you can try it!

"Actually, it's not just this advanced tank, those old tanks that have been transformed, like the T-55 tank, can also be converted into infantry fighting vehicles." Qin Zhenhua continued to brag.

In fact, it is not appropriate to transform a tank into an infantry fighting vehicle at all. At least from the current professional point of view, it is absolutely inappropriate.

Tanks, the engine is in the back, infantry fighting vehicles, the engine is in the front.
