The birth of the 96 tank of the tank competition
Although I don't plan to update it now, I still can't bear the problem of the tank competition held in Russia, and I can't stand the idiot evaluation of the idiot brick family at home and abroad, in this orange on the place where the 976 tank is misunderstood, the Russian tank competition 96 tank actually lost to the T72 tank The reason for the analysis, I just came back from ***, so I also want to say a few words.
The starting point and prototype of the Type 96 tank is a modern tank designed and developed specifically for China's national defense modernization and army construction in consideration of the strategic needs of our army's non-commissioned weapons.
Many people may not know that the predecessor of the Type 96, as well as the 'design' and technology introduction of Su Liangqi and J-10, were all led by Chairman Deng, the great chief architect of reform and opening up.
Chairman Deng was not only a reformer, but also an excellent military strategist, and people with some common knowledge of military history know this, and I will not say much about the fact that major battles such as the Huaihai Campaign were commanded by others.
Let's start by talking about the birth and pedigree of the Type 96 tank.
After Grandpa Deng took over China, in addition to putting economic construction in the first place, he also understood that national defense security is crucial to a country's development and long-term peace and stability, and that during the special period, the national defense modernization construction was basically paralyzed, and the gap between the level of national defense modernization and the developed countries in the West was unprecedentedly huge.
It was spring in 1979, but let's not forget that in 1979, there was a strong, heyday polar bear holding us on the northern ice sheet, and it was extremely unfriendly and aggressive.
The Soviet army has been eyeing China for decades with millions of soldiers in the border areas.
History tells us that no one should doubt the Soviet Union's enthusiasm for the use of foreign troops.
In the 70s alone, troops were sent twice to provoke our country, and many times they were ready to drop nuclear bombs on us.
And in the 80s, the cutting-edge tank T72 of the USSR also began to appear in large numbers in the border areas of Mongolia and the USSR on the border with China.
For this kind of tank, our national army at that time was completely helpless against this monster.
Backwardness means being beaten, which is the experience that the Chinese have gained with blood for more than 100 years, and the backwardness of the army's national defense is the most direct backwardness problem.
In response to this problem, Chairman Deng on the one hand greatly disarmed and reduced military spending, on the other hand, reorganized the military system to adapt to modern warfare, and at the same time seized the Soviet Union's desire for China to join the ranks of containment of aggressive numbers in the Afghan war when the Soviet Union was strong and the United States was weak.
Chairman Tang seized the moment.
He began to secretly learn from the West.
At that time, although the United States still had a strong sense of defense against China (certainly not as strong as it is now), and at that time it was somewhat relaxed for the purpose of confronting the Soviet Union, it would never support China's desire, but it did not oppose it excessively.
This has given China access to Western technology through third-party channels.
In terms of how to introduce, how to introduce, and whose technology to introduce, Chairman Deng conducted a careful investigation and study.
Let me ask, in the modern bombing war, mainly after the Second World War, which country has the most experience in modern warfare?
The Soviet Union, the United States, China?
Neither.
Rather, it is a small military power that has been fighting since the end of World War II but has remained strong, almost single-handedly against the Arab world.
In terms of the actual combat experience of the modern army, they are the richest.
And the record is naturally known to everyone.
Especially tank battles, all tank battles in the real sense after World War II were basically fought and won.
The Chairman was interested in their practical experience and results.
And among them, there are instances of their tanks taking out the T72 head-on.
Considering the country's arms export policy and the friendly relations of the Chinese nation in the history of World War II.
Considering the possibilities of this business and the affordability of both parties.
The Chair decided to learn from here.
Secret, of course.
I would like to thank the 'Mossad' for being a short, lean but watertight organization. I am grateful that my country has just gone through that unfortunate special period, and all spies are finished.
So this matter can be kept secret for quite some time, although the Americans are not stupid and have long smelled the cat, but is the Mossad easy to fool?
Secretly, no one even knew about the atomic bomb.
Is there still a problem with doing some private work behind the scenes?
Although I smelled the smell of fish very early, how easy was it to get some dry information from the hands of the two most astute peoples?
And the leaders are too good.
It wasn't until a long time later, after the child, especially Fei Ji, was born, that when the world saw that the girl flying in the sky in New China looked too much like the child's father (Chinese culture pays attention to the motherland is the mother, but many countries talk about the 'father of the motherland') that the world couldn't sit still and jumped out.
But at this time,
My father's bloodline can't be erased.
Early warning Ji, Fei Ji, radar and something, as well as tank technology, have all been learned by us.
About this can be seen just by the appearance of our aircraft.
China's armored force technology, because of the leader's attention and strategic vision, because of the teacher's careful teaching, but also thanks to the continuous summarization, improvement and experiment of China's armored force technical personnel and military talents.
Finally, an armored force system that can reach the world's leading level in World War I was born.
At present, on the world weapons stage, the Chinese Army, mainly the armored forces, is a well-deserved hero in the world in terms of technical equipment.
and the world's leading level is standing on the same platform.
This can be seen from the record of China's export of modern military products.
(Look at the list of weapons sold by China, there are light weapons, there are missiles, there are tanks, there are airplanes, and tanks have always been the best-selling thing in China's arms exports.) Only good and inexpensive things are wanted. Foreigners are not stupid. The quality of light weapons is often complained about by countries like Myanmar, and aircraft are often ...... because of engine problems Missiles can't be sold casually)
China's tanks, infantry fighting vehicle technology, and China's long-range ballistic missile technology are well-deserved Chinese pride.
For the requirements of our main battle tanks, Chairman Deng has only one sentence
"From the front, penetrate the T72 protective armor. ”
After more than ten years of hard study and research. Now, our 96 has long been able to put the younger brothers of T72, T80 and T90.
From a technical point of view, the Type 96 tank had long been thrown out of the T72 a few streets.
In the next chapter, we will discuss the specific reasons for the loss.
