Chapter 231: Tank Bidding (5)
The last one to come to power is naturally the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex! For the name of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, the designers of several other companies are like thunder, because in the past two years, it has been in the limelight, and it is also hosting the Stockholm International Defense Exhibition, and it is developing various new aircraft and aero engines, and the sales are amazing! Moreover, one of the members of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, Bofors Defense Company is also an arsenal with a long history, and has strong strength in the field of artillery design and manufacturing, and the armies and navies of many European countries have Bofors guns! Therefore, although only the judges have seen the tank design scheme of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, it is still very attractive to everyone!
When Xiao Weiguo strode to the podium and hung the big picture of the tank design on the wall, everyone's eyes widened now, revealing an expression of disbelief! Except, of course, the judges, because they have already seen this plan, but they still can't help but give a thumbs up to the designers of the Dragon Soul Ordnance!
The tank design scheme of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex can really shock everyone's jaws! Because it's so unique! The two tanks on the drawings are dressed in green digital camouflage paint, which looks lifelike, as if they are about to come out of the drawing! Its livery is unique, and its appearance is unparalleled! Both tanks are angular, both the body and the turret are designed with a certain inclination, especially the turret front, which is a kind of wedge that has never been seen before! And that medium tank, the main gun looks bigger than the previous companies, and the barrel is not even a little long!
Under the attention of everyone, Xiao Weiguo said loudly: "Your Excellency Honorable Minister, judges, experts and colleagues. Although it was a surprise to us to receive a tender from the Ministry of Defense this time, we still took over this design task! We believe that since we want to do it, we must make it the most advanced tank in the world! That's why both of our tanks use a lot of state-of-the-art technology and unique designs! ”
"First of all, let me briefly talk about the operational concept of the future tank in the war and the role it plays, and then I will talk about our tank. Future large-scale ground operations will be a large-depth attack strategy based on ground armored assaults. To put it simply, this tactic is to destroy the enemy's entire defense system by tearing through the enemy's strong defensive line at the front line, and then through this breakthrough, throwing a large number of high-speed and mobile armored forces into the enemy's deep and deep attacks! In order to adapt to the far-reaching, deep, high-speed assault, the tank must have a good large road travel, road adaptability, low logistics burden, and in general, it needs to have high strategic mobility! And for the sake of engaging enemy tanks. To tear through the enemy's frontal defense, tank designers should pay great attention to tank firepower and frontal armor! In order to maintain superiority in firepower, our tank artillery should be larger and more powerful than the enemy's tank artillery, so our medium tank scheme is to use 100 mm caliber! In terms of armor, great attention should be paid to the low profile and perfect bullet-proof shape. As well as the adoption of additional composite armor! ”
"Even to reduce the chance of being spotted by the enemy, we designed a digital camouflage. This color, which consists of green, yellow, tea, black, etc., is used to form an irregular pattern protective color. In land warfare, camouflage can be said to be a very good camouflage protection mechanism. Digital camouflage is a type of camouflage that consists of small squares of different colors. In fact, patterns perceived by the naked eye are made up of tiny squares, which are called pixels. Drawing on the principles of visual psychology, the new pattern is able to adapt to the needs of concealment in a variety of environmental contexts, mainly for jungles, deserts and urban areas, as well as night vision devices. The scattered disorder of digital camouflage is very good in terms of concealment! First of all, digital camouflage uses the visual principle of pixel lattice. Blurs the edges between different colors. The color contrast of digital camouflage is very weak, especially the boundaries of irregular colors, which greatly improves its adaptability to different landforms. ”
"Secondly, from a close look, the pattern of the digital camouflage looks like a dot magnification. It appears as a small square block of color, but when viewed from a distance, the digital camouflage pattern can be easily blended into a variety of backgrounds, making it difficult for the eye to spot. An important operation in visual processing is the separation of the image from the background, and according to the principle of closure, smooth lines are easier to recognize. In realistic jungle or desert conditions, the digital dot matrix is designed to match the irregular outlines of leaves, gravel, or fine sand, making it more difficult for enemies to extract specific images from the background. Xiao Weiguo especially emphasized the importance of digital camouflage, which surprised everyone, they did not expect that the tank could also be "stealth" with such camouflage paint!
Judging from the three-dimensional view of the tank, the camouflage of these two tanks made up of small squares really make it look more difficult to distinguish their outlines than tanks without paint! Especially for people who are far away from the podium, when they see the two tanks on the picture, they are exactly like two yellow-brown squares, and they can't be seen as a tank if you don't look carefully! This technology is so novel that it makes people feel like they want to worship! If you put a tank painted like this on the battlefield, will the enemy still be able to find it?
Xiao Weiguo has long known that this kind of digital camouflage and the unique shape of the tank will definitely surprise everyone, and no matter what these people think, Xiao Weiguo continued: "Our light tank design scheme is a light tank that takes into account firepower, mobility and protection performance, but also highlights mobility and protection capabilities!" We chose a 30-mm or 40-mm gun for it as the main gun of a 15-ton light tank, and in fact to penetrate 25 mm thick armor, a 30 mm gun would be enough! And our 30-mm gun, a rifled rapid-fire gun, has powerful sustained fire! After all, the light tank is not used to fight against the enemy's main battle tank, it is mainly used against the enemy's lightly armored targets and strong fire points! We design the main part of the tank hull and turret to be shelled into an inclined shape, and adopt the welding method, the surface of the welded turret is flat, so it is easier to attach additional composite armor, from the perspective of avoiding elasticity, the inclined armor plate makes the probability of low-speed shells ricocheting higher, and has little impact on the high-speed armor-piercing projectile ricochet, but the diagonal is longer than both sides, and the oblique placement increases the armor thickness in disguise, especially the wedge-shaped armor on the front of the turret is a variant of the inclined armor, and the lower part of the armor is cut off, The lower part is still arranged at an angle, but the angle is reversed, but the weight can be reduced a lot! Although it is a 40 mm thick armor plate, it is equivalent to 80 mm thick armor! (To be continued.) )
