Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 1162

The various performances of the 359 tank are almost all of the 88 type.

The main gun, Type 88 uses 105 rifled gun, while 359 is a 125 smoothbore gun. In terms of armor, Type 88 uses homogeneous steel armor and special steel for protection, and 359 uses homogeneous steel armor as the basic armor. The outside is to add Chobham to suit the armor, if you are willing to pay, there is a layer of reactive armor, a total of three layers of defense; the power system, the 88 type is a bit stronger, after all, the 359 only has 780 horsepower domestic engines available, and the 88 type can be imported Imported to 1200 horsepower variable compression ratio turbocharged engine…

No matter how flexible it is, it’s no use. Facing the 359 tank, it’s a complete shot.

Therefore, the 88-type main battle tank lost the favor of the armored unit, and the order was received by the 359 tank that was exported to domestic sales.

Mr. Zhu obviously doesn’t want to talk about the comparison between the Type 88 main battle tank and the 359.

The Chopper is armored, and the new gun steel and other technologies are all held in the hands of the 404. Otherwise, the Type 88 main battle tank will not introduce American tank gun barrels with a service life of only 200 to 300 rounds.

As for the Chobham composite armor, only 404 has been mastered in China. The 88 type is originally an improved design of the 80 type, and the basis of the 80 type is also 59.

359, almost the ultimate form of the 59 tank, basically there is no plan to improve this.

The chassis of 5 pairs of road wheels carries 125 guns, which is already the limit.

“Zhu, I said this, not to say whose technology is better or what, that is of no use. As R&D personnel of military technology, we must not reduce technical performance because of cost, and we cannot reduce performance for cost…” Xie Kai said, “In fact, this is the biggest difference between us and foreign countries.”

“You can’t help but consider the technological gap between us and the world.” Mr. Zhu looked at Xie Kai. Although he felt that Xie Kai’s statement was correct, he still told Xie Kai very seriously.

The domestic technological basis is very different from that of foreign countries.

The technological gap is also the reason why various technological projects cannot go directly to high performance as in foreign countries.

In the past few years, many key national defense science and technology projects were discontinued because the technology gap was too big, it required too much capital, and it also took too long to complete the foundation before it could break through.

“Technology gaps have to be considered. But at present, the third-generation tank projects in China can have better performance. Because of cost, lower performance requirements…” Xie Kai said, “Although this can quickly produce results, and even lower prices, The researched equipment is already behind, and then continue to invest funds to research…”

I wish the boss is silent.

There are many tank models developed by 617 over the years, but none of them can be used for domestic refitting on a large scale.

Type 80 doesn’t work, and Type 88 doesn’t work either.

What has been researched can be used as a technical basis at most and continue to be developed.

Type 88 is only a second-generation tank. The third-generation main battle tanks of advanced foreign countries have been installed.

“Researched, if the troops can’t be equipped, what’s the point?” Mr. Zhu murmured.

In this regard, he and Xie Kai can’t talk together, and their opinions cannot be unified.

“As a technical reserve. And because of the advanced performance of the newly developed equipment, it can even promote the transformation of the military’s combat methods.” Xie Kai said, “It was obvious in the Iran-Iraq War that both sides have advanced weapons and equipment, but Both sides still adopt the combat mode of World War I…”

The Iran-Iraq War has now become the focus of research in all countries in the world.

Both of these countries have the most advanced weapons and equipment, but they fought a low-level war with high-tech equipment.

It is impossible for a country like China that has grown up from a war to command such a level. However, if they do not understand high-performance weapons and equipment, commanders can only use the existing model to command wars, and they cannot display the advanced capabilities of the equipment.

“Just like the special brigade, although the 359 tanks are all exported, from the beginning, they have been studying the combat methods of the troops after equipping such high-performance tanks… This is the first blue army unit in China. If a war really breaks out , This army can be at least tied with the size of the ordinary domestic army at least 5 times!” Xie Kai is still a humble statement.

In the new era, the style of play with advanced weapons and equipment is not at all the style of play that domestic commanders have imagined.

Originally, they thought that the armored forces would open the way, the artillery would support them, and the air forces would seize air supremacy or something, and the war would only take a while.

It’s different now. The ground forces have strong air defense capabilities, and the tactical support forces even launch tactical support missiles when there is no contact between the two anti-countermeasures…

Otherwise, the troops would not agree to equip the special operations brigade with so much advanced equipment when the military budget is in short supply.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The equipment of a brigade is more than the firepower of a division.

Zhu Yusheng was silent.

Zheng Yucheng and others were also silent.

The special operations brigade is nearby. It is said that the military is preparing to organize an exercise to allow other major military regions in the country to mobilize elite troops to exchange views with the special operations brigade.

From the very beginning, the special operations brigade has been defined as the blue army of the blue army. All major military regions have mobilized capable forces to organize a blue army unit to test the combat effectiveness of the troops and find ways to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops during exercises.

However, so far, the special forces brigade has never held confrontation exercises with major military regions.

As the Blue Army of the Blue Army, the special forces brigade is not comparable to ordinary domestic troops in terms of equipment or training intensity, and of course, it is not what the military can support.

This force is too expensive.

“So, advanced equipment can be equipped with a small amount when funds are insufficient, not because the cost is too high to equip it, and it is not to reduce the performance index to reduce the equipment…The number can no longer determine the outcome of the war, otherwise , The country will not carry out a million-dollar disarmament. The military expenditures saved by disarmament are to improve the combat capability of the troops…” Seeing Mr. Zhu, Xie Kai fell into deep thought and knew that his goal was basically achieved.

After the prototype of the 99 tank was developed, it could not compete with the world’s leading M1A3 and Leopard-2, and the number of armored units was not large.

Old-fashioned 99 tanks, because of the lower anti-stabilization fire control system; the transmission also uses hydraulic torque converters and brakes, which are better than the pure mechanical transmission of T-72, but cannot be compared with M1 and Leopard-2; Even the protection power and firepower are a bit worse than the old one.

The latter 99 reforms were also equipped with a small amount for testing. Until the last 99 major reforms appeared, the technology of the fire control system and the power system had breakthroughs. Some even commented that the 99 major reforms became the world’s performance. The best tank.

Even the best tank in the world, the number of 99 major changes is very small.

It is speculated that the total number of all Type 99 main battle tanks does not exceed 200.

The quantity is small, and it is also equipped, isn’t it?

I wish the boss’s worries are all superfluous.

“In fact, after the 88 continues to be improved, it can still be used as a main battle tank. From the current situation, the domestic demand for low-end tanks is greater.” Xie Kai said.

When Zheng Yucheng and others heard this, they even laughed out loud.

They think Xie Kai is sarcastic with the Type 88 main battle tank with six pairs of road wheels.

“Why don’t you talk about the 359 tank?” Zhu Yusheng asked Xie Kai.

Whether Xie Kai laughed at the 88 tank, he simply ignored it.

The Type 88 main battle tank, as Xie Kai said, is only the accumulation of technical experience. This is also a channel to understand Western tank technology. It is not impossible to make improvements later. It is not impossible to exceed 359 tanks.

“With this thing, the army has already begun to equip it? Although the number is small, there is only one battalion, I think, when compared with the 88 main battle tank, the army will know what to choose.” Xie Kai said calmly.

Zheng Yucheng and the others heard Xie Kai say this and looked at Xie Kai strangely.

Mrs. Zhu also looked at Xie Kai somewhat unexpectedly, “Do you know the news?”

“What news?” Zheng Yucheng was anxious.

“The modification of the 359 tank for export to domestic sales will be compared with the 88 main battle tank. At that time, it is estimated that the performance of the tank will be better, and the army will choose whoever.” Xie Kai said calmly.

Type 88 belongs to the front type of the 96 series tank, because the Type 96 tank is also 88C!

It can be said that the military does not like the 88, but there is no way. The military had no choice but to choose this tank.

Even so, the number of 96 tank equipment is not too much.

Now there is a choice. Whether it is firepower or protection capability, the 359 tank far exceeds the Type 88 main battle tank.

“Type 88 is not afraid of shame? Actually want to compete on the same stage with our 359? Are they going to compare attack firepower with our tanks, or better defense capabilities?” Zheng Yucheng asked with contempt.

“Yeah, there is no comparison at all?” Zhang Deming, as the chief division of the 359 tank, had no sense of pride in his heart.

He knows the specific performance of the 359 tank better than anyone. The 88 type does not know much. It seems that only the power system is stronger than the 359.

Others think so too.

“Comparison will make those people shut up. On the Iran-Iraq battlefield, there are not too many opportunities for the 359 tanks to show their faces. Moreover, the domestic trials are also confidential, and the training of the special forces brigade is not open… …” Xie Kai said.

Originally he guessed it, but Mr. Zhu told him this reaction that he really thought so.

Than just chant.

At that time, let 617 take a look again.

The 617 people have never felt that the 359 tank really advanced to where, the reason why they can be exported to Iraq on a large scale is because the 404 people will fool around.

After all, the 359 tank, a lot of parts, and the 617 also helped in the production.

“When?” Zheng Yucheng asked, “I am looking forward to it. I will take a good look at the wonderful expressions of the two tanks after the two tanks are tested together.”

It is not Zheng Yucheng who is looking forward to.

There are all other 404 leaders.

Only when there is contrast, there will be harm.

For a long time, even the Armored Forces did not know much about the specific performance of the 359 tank.
