Chapter 357

“Look, Colonel! What you want to see will appear right away.” Xie Kai pointed to the 359 tank that was turning the turret and adjusting the height of the barrel, and said triumphantly to Harry Mossant.

Obviously, that tank left the Type 79 main battle tank far behind, and now it began to turn the turret and adjust the elevation angle of the barrel, which has attracted the attention of everyone.

“Does your tank fire without stopping? Can it hit the target? Where is the target?” Musharraf asked with a sneer.

The Chinese have always spared no effort in cheating on such matters.

Fire on the first field test?

Moreover, the artillery is still being fired during the march. So far, no tanks of any type in China have such capabilities. Although this type of tank uses an image-stabilizing fire control system, it has never been said that an image-stabilizing type is used. The fire control system is being tested.

Musharraf’s words immediately angered the faces of the research team who heard his questioning.



In front of customers, Pakistan belongs to the joint research and development side. To say this is a complete dismantling of the platform.

When Wang Xingqiao listened to the translation and was about to refute, Xie Kai said quickly: “Colonel, you are the investors. You should know more about the situation of our project. If you can’t do it while you’re on the move, you can’t do it. Called a third-generation tank?”

Xie Kai looked at Musharraf with a very indifferent expression on his face.

“I am not the project leader, and I don’t understand the situation.” Musharraf remained cold.

Regarding this cooperation, even if Xie Kai said that the production will be divided into domestic production plants in Pakistan, the key parts and components must be purchased from China, which is not a good thing for Pakistan.

The neck was pinched by the Chinese.

Musharraf was originally dissatisfied with such behavior in 404, and naturally he would not give too much face.

Especially with orders for hundreds of tanks in Iraq, even if the construction of Pakistan’s production plants accelerates, they will not get a share of the pie.

Pakistan does not have any profit for the Chinese orders, and even if the Chinese do not ask for them, they have to import engines, fire control systems, computer systems and even 125mm smoothbore guns.

Pakistan’s domestic tank plants simply cannot produce new tank guns with high-performance tank guns that can reach thousands of rounds of service life under advanced technologies such as electroslag remelting and self-tightening of the barrel.

“The targets are all on the valley side, and all targets are numbered, starting with target No. 1…” Zhang Deming pointed to the numerous tank targets constructed of concrete on the other side of the hillside.

The area of ​​each target is small, only two meters long and 1.5 meters high. The surface is painted with white lime and has a number on it.

Musharraf was speechless.

The 359 tank was still moving at high speed, the tank gun and the sound of the advancing car showed a big angle, and the gun barrel raised slightly.

In this process, the tank did not stop in the slightest, and even the speed was not affected.

The muzzle was constantly oscillating with the tank’s ups and downs to ensure that the muzzle was always aimed at the tank target on the opposite side of the valley.

“Why haven’t the guns fired yet?” Harry Mossan waited a little nervously. “If you can’t aim at the time of the battle, the enemy has already fired first in more than two minutes! Even several rounds have been fired! ”

He came out of the war and understood the reaction speed of the elite tank troops.

The first time you encounter an enemy, as long as within the effective shooting range, whoever fires first will have greater survivability.

Xie Kai was also a little anxious, “Isn’t it tested before? There is no problem on the shooting range.”

“What’s going on?” Wang Xingqiao was also a little anxious. Not only did he test the aiming of the fire control system on a fixed artillery, but he also tested the aiming while on the move, except that he didn’t fire the gun.

“Report, the turbulence is too severe, and the correction parameters provided by the computer change too fast!” The experimenter in the tank reported the news.

“…” Everyone was stunned.

The turbulence was too severe, and the computer system for auxiliary gun sighting constantly revised the design elements, and the gunner needed manual input to shoot the elements.

“Isn’t there an automatic locking function? Let them turn on the automatic locking system of the computer-aided aiming system!” Xie Kai was the first to react.

I don’t know who provided this test program.

“Can the auxiliary system be reliable?” Wang Xingqiao was unhappy.

He was originally dissatisfied with Xie Kai’s request that his lower anti-stabilization fire control system be added to the computer-aided system.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

After all, the counter system can be used without electricity.

The computer-aided system combines day and night sighting, range finding, three-in-one sight, laser rangefinder, digital ballistic computer, gun trunnion tilt sensor, target angular velocity sensor, turret horizontal angular velocity sensor, cross wind sensor and artillery electro-hydraulic composite A series of sighting devices such as bidirectional stabilizer and console are all integrated into the central control computer of the tank.

Just by adding this computer-aided system, the cost of the tank has increased by 600,000!

“If you use it, you will know whether it is reliable or not?” Xie Kai grinned.

He knows that Wang Xingqiao, the father of the Chinese tank fire control system, has believed that the lower anti-stability image fire control system is more reliable and better than the upper anti-stability fire control system. This kind of computer is expensive and its reliability is uncertain, and it is even more repulsive.

“Would you like to reduce the speed?” Mr. Wang knew that by reducing the speed, the turbulence would be reduced.

“Absolutely not. It will be very obvious as soon as the speed is reduced.” Zheng Yucheng couldn’t say that he is now ready to let the Iraqis pay for the prototype truck to be transported to the Iran-Iraq battlefield for actual combat testing.

“Try it first!” Wang Xingqiao was still unwilling.

“Then give it a try?” Xie Kai asked Zhang Deming.

“You can figure it out clearly. Musharraf is dissatisfied. Once the speed is reduced, he can’t aim…” Zheng Yucheng was anxious, “Iraqis are also watching!”

It’s not a good thing to drag it any longer.

The test, no one can guarantee that it will be successful?

Even the stereotyped tanks, which one can do it all?

“Reduce the speed!” Xie Kai didn’t hesitate at all.

“Reduce the speed.” Wang Xingqiao was afraid that Zheng Yucheng would object, and hurriedly issued the order.

The 359 tank, which was climbing at high speed with white smoke behind its buttocks, immediately slowed down after receiving the order.



Through the telescope in the distance, you can easily see the tank’s speed reduction.

The muzzle swings less frequently than before, and the muzzle still swings slightly during the aiming process.

“Boom~”

“Hoo~ son~”

There was a flash of fire from the muzzle, and a cloud of smoke emanated; the roar of the cannon ejected from the barrel, followed by the sharp sound of the cannonball piercing the air.

Before firing, Xie Kai clearly saw a one-second pause in the entire tank gun.

This is the fault with the anti-stabilization image fire control system.

There must be a pause when the artillery is fired.

The speed of the tank has been reduced from over 30 kilometers to less than 15. Even if it can barely aim, it still cannot provide too high shooting accuracy.

“boom!”

About three meters away from the No. 1 tank target, high dust and sand were lifted by the shells.

“Wrong?”

“The first shot was missed?”

“One more shot!” Mr. Wang was a little disbelief. The previous shots were perfect.

Even if it is fired during travel, only the road is relatively flat, the travel speed is not high, and it does not cause too much turbulence, it can provide higher shooting accuracy.

In order to solve these problems, Xie Kai added the computer system designed by his father, and added sensors to the scope, etc., during bumps, uses the tank central computer to perform data interpolation, which is a bit similar Machining compensation of CNC system.

If the automatic sighting program linked with the computer-aided system is turned on, the tank’s sighting system will continuously feed back the target to the computer system to provide compensation parameters. These data will automatically adjust the gun’s performance through sensors and other devices on the tank gun control system. To shoot the Yuan, the gunner only needs to press the launch button.

But in that way, the role of the lower anti-stability image fire control system is not so prominent.

“boom!”

Another shell still missed the target.

This time, the artillery shell exploded almost one meter below the tank target, mud and gravel splashed, and the large tank target still stood stubbornly there.

Both Iranians and Iraqis have disappointed expressions on their faces.

Especially Iraqis.

Zheng Yucheng was really anxious now, and Harry Mossan’s frown showed his disappointment.

“Come again!” President Wang didn’t believe this result at all. “Continue to slow down!”

The 359 tank on the distant hillside adjusted its muzzle again, and its speed almost stopped completely.

“boom!”

Without waiting for Zheng Yucheng to stop, the 359 tank’s muzzle flashed again, and the shells dragged the sharp sound of the air, and finally hit the target accurately.

“Hit!”

However, there was no cheers.

Because of the 359 tank on the hillside in the distance, it almost stopped before firing, although the moment it fired, it moved again.

This is no different from those domestic main battle tanks that are not equipped with a stable image-type fire control system. They have to stop and fire.

“How could this be the result! The previous test was not like this.” The person who suffered the most from such a result was the person in charge of the fire control system.

Wang Xingqiao couldn’t think of it. The first test was like this. “Something must be wrong!”

“This is the tank technology that we have spent 50 million yuan in threshold fees?” Musharraf asked Zheng Yucheng and others. “It is a hard target to fire at a travel speed of more than 30 kilometers!”

His attitude determines the follow-up cooperation between the base and Pakistan.

Pakistan can be regarded as an investor. Once it is dissatisfied with the technical performance, China must continue to improve.

“Thank you, if it were such a tank, we would definitely not spend money to purchase it. At such a high price, even if the armor is thicker and the attack power is higher, it cannot be fired at high speeds. It is just an expensive target, even It is much worse than the T-72 that the Soviet Union can provide.” Harry Mossan was familiar with it, even worse.
