Fortunately, at this time, Italy's Ram main battle tank special group, Sweden's strv122mbt main battle tank special group, as well as 600 Italian soldiers and 200 Swedish soldiers arrived.

Ram main battle tank, English: arietemainbattletank, also known as: C1 main battle tank, is a type of main battle tank developed by Italy in the 20s.

As the third-generation main battle tank of the Italian Army, the Ram main battle tank is equipped with a 120mm smoothbore gun produced by the Italian company Otto Melella. The body and turret are made of composite armor, and can be equipped with reactive armor. The turret The front tilt angle is large.

The total weight of the tank is 48 tons, the engine is an 882-kilowatt diesel engine, and the road speed is 65 kilometers per hour.

The Ram main battle tank was developed and produced by Otto Melera. Tank development was initiated in 1984. The design was completed and trial production began in 1986. It passed comprehensive testing by the Italian military in 1988 and was officially put into service in 1995. It is only equipped with the Italian Army. , a total of 200 vehicles.

Development background:

After World War II, countries such as France, Germany and Japan began the process of independently developing tanks earlier, while Italy developed its own tanks later.

In the early 20s, Italy was equipped with American-made M50 medium tanks. After its defeat at that time, Italy did not have the ability to develop and produce better tanks.

When the performance of the m47 tank gradually fell behind, Italy decided to develop a new type of tank.

In view of its limited capabilities, Italy participated in the joint development program of European standard tanks started by West Germany and France in 1956.

Subsequently, the joint tank development plan failed. West Germany and France each developed Leopard 1 tanks and AMX30 tanks respectively. Italy imported 300 m60a1 tanks from the United States due to political considerations, of which 100 were directly provided by the United States and the other 200 were provided by Otto from Italy. Produced under license by Melara.

20世纪70年代，意大利对德国豹1主战坦克进行评估测试后正式采购了800辆，其中200辆为德国直接提供，另外600辆由奥托梅莱拉公司按许可证生产。

1978年，意大利又追加订购120辆豹1坦克与160辆豹1改进型坦克。

During the introduction and production of Leopard 1 tanks, Italy mastered many new technologies in the development and production of tanks.

When Italy's plan to purchase foreign tanks ended, Otto Melara Company started the development of tanks specifically for export based on its experience in producing Leopard 1 tanks.

Development process: trial production of40

Italian OF40 main battle tank:

In the early 20s, the Otto Melara Company developed the "Lion" tank, which used the chassis of the Leopard 70 tank and installed the British L1 artillery.

However, due to patent issues, since the chassis and artillery are both foreign products, they cannot be licensed and therefore cannot be sold.

After that, Italy revised its development policy and decided to re-develop a new tank for export.

To this end, Otto Melara and Fiat formed a consortium, with the former responsible for the design and production of the artillery and hull, and the latter responsible for the power plant and suspension system.

In 1977, the new tank entered the actual vehicle design stage. In 1980, the first prototype was produced and named the of40 tank. "of" is the initials of the two companies' names, and "40" means that the weight of the tank is 40 tons.
