The tank design scheme of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex is really unexpected, not only in terms of appearance, but also in terms of design concept! Everyone continued to stare at Xiao Weiguo on the stage to see what amazing words he would have to say.

Xiao Weiguo continued: "Our steel armor production uses a cold-rolled forging process, which is about 10% denser than cast steel, in addition to adding additional composite armor to the front of the hull and turret to further improve the ballistic performance, and even make the 15-ton light tank reach the protection level of a medium tank." The welded turret has a large space and uses the tail magazine to load the ammunition, which better improves the survivability of the tank. A toolbox was added to the rear of the turret to strengthen the relatively weak armor at the rear of the tank. And of course it doesn't stop there, we also have side skirt armor that protects the tank tracks!"

"Composite armor is used in key areas. The composite armor is designed to be in two layers, with a certain distance between the two layers of steel armor, and when the armor-piercing projectile hits the front armor, a powerful metal jet is formed, and the air layer can stretch and thin the jet, and it will be dull when it rushes to the armor plate behind. Of course, if this protection against armor-piercing and armor-piercing shells is not enough, we add a layer of aluminum alloy material in the middle of the two layers of steel armor, and the bullet resistance of the armor is further improved. ”

"Our solution uses a high-power diesel engine, which not only has more power and torque, but most importantly, diesel is safe and does not cause an explosion after the tank power compartment is broken. The 15-ton light tank uses a 250-horsepower diesel engine, and after the V-shaped diesel engine is adopted, the width of the engine can be narrower, which can effectively use the space under the engine, so that the gearbox part is put into the recess space of the engine, and the upper degree of the vehicle body is shortened. In this way, the space length of the combat section is greatly improved. Our 15-ton light tank weighs 13.5 tons, is 6.2 meters long, 2.8 meters wide, 2.3 meters high, and has a crew of 5 people. The front of the turret corresponds to 80 mm of homogeneous steel armor protection, and the front of the hull is equivalent to 60 mm. The other parts correspond to 40 mm of steel armor protection. The fuel load is 500 liters, and 2 100-liter oil drums can also be attached to the rear of the car to further improve the stroke. ”

"The main armament is a 30-mm rifled machine gun, the total weight of the gun is 80 kg, the total length is 2185 mm, the gun is simple in structure, light in weight, high in rate of fire, and carries 300 rounds of ammunition. 1 parallel machine gun was installed on the right side of the artillery. In front of the hull was also mounted a machine gun with a caliber of 7.92 mm and carrying 5,000 rounds. Xiao Weiguo finished the design plan of the 15-ton light tank in a row, and in the process he found that everyone was stunned, and the judges were also fascinated.

Xiao Weiguo paused, and then continued: "I'll talk about our medium tank plan again!" Its design and armor are the same as those of a light tank! But more powerful in firepower and mobility! This medium tank weighs 34 tons in battle. It uses a 450 horsepower diesel engine with a crew of 4 people. The vehicle is 6.8 meters long, 3.3 meters wide and 2.3 meters high, and uses a rifled tank gun with a caliber of 100 mm and a barrel of 52 times the caliber, which can fire armor-piercing shells. It can also fire grenades with a capacity of 70 rounds. When firing armor-piercing shells, it is possible to penetrate 300 mm thick steel armor at a distance of 1000 meters and a homogeneous steel armor plate of 150 mm/30 ° at a distance of 2000 meters. The range when firing grenades is up to 5000 meters. There are also two 7.92 mm machine guns with a capacity of 5,000 rounds. In terms of protection. The front of the hull is equivalent to 100 mm of steel armor, the front of the turret is equivalent to 180 mm of steel armor, and the other parts are equivalent to 50 mm of steel armor. The running gear adopts a torsion shaft spring suspension system, the induction wheel is in the front, the driving wheel is in the rear, the load wheel is six pairs of 450 mm diameter wheels, and there are three towing pulleys. This allows for medium-to-small load wheels, which can ensure the vehicle's mobility protection performance. The large load-bearing wheels are heavier, the stroke is small, and the carrier pulleys cannot be installed, so it is easy to cause the tracks to fall off when driving at high speeds, and the vibration of the tank body is large, not only the tank crew is uncomfortable, but also very easy to be damaged by enemy shells! ”

Xiao Weiguo said this, and finished talking about the main design intentions and parameters of the two tanks, and after bowing to the judges, Xiao Weiguo strode off the podium. And at this time, almost everyone was still pondering the two tank design schemes that Xiao Weiguo showed just now! After all, a series of novel designs have made the two tanks of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex the most dazzling existence! The dazzling shape and camouflage, the unique composite armor, and the 100mm long-barreled large-caliber main gun all make the tank plan of Dragon Soul Ordnance the most eye-catching!

After nearly two minutes, everyone came to their senses, and it turned out that all the companies had been showcased. Defense Minister Blomburg strode to the podium, coughed lightly, and said: "Everyone, today's tank bidding will be really eye-opening!" Each company has shown your best, no matter what kind of tank design scheme, it is an excellent tank in the world! However, we can only choose one of the light and medium tank schemes from it! Which company will you choose? This requires careful evaluation and review by our judging committee, and finally the approval of His Excellency the Prime Minister, before the final answer can be revealed! ”

After a pause, Blomburg's voice changed: "However, in today's tank bidding, all the participants are not allowed to leak a little bit of information!" The tank project is a top-secret project of our country! However, even the unsuccessful tank design is not completely useless, and we may develop it into armored vehicles for other purposes in the future. Of course, not all of the winning companies won the tank project, the tank project is a big project that requires the cooperation of many companies, so the unsuccessful company also has the opportunity to participate in the development of new tanks! Well, that's the end of today's bidding, and we'll be announcing the results in a month or two! ”

The secret tank bidding of the German Ministry of Defense has finally come to an end, but the tank design scheme displayed at this bidding meeting is more novel and more unique than the other! Everything looks good, and even if it is a mid-level design, once realized, it will be even more powerful than the best tanks in the world at the moment! (To be continued.) )
