Chapter 1144 Contradiction Competition
More than a dozen tanks, new, old, or worn out, were parked in the large warehouse of the Baicheng Weapons Test Center, and these were all good ones procured by Zhou Qingfeng. After verifying, or being frightened, the government happily paid 50 million US dollars for these equipment.
Ordinarily speaking, if it is just equipment, these tanks of different models and in different states are not worth 50 million US dollars. But considering the value behind these tanks, $50 million is too cheap.
"We have completed preliminary testing work, the most surprising of which is the US military M1A3 'Abrams' which is said to be still in the testing phase.
The inter-vehicle information system on it has been upgraded to the third generation, and the infrared thermal imaging camera has also been replaced with a full-color model. In terms of electronic technology, the ammunition it uses is also quite advanced, and it can be said that its combat effectiveness is far superior to that of our 99A. "
Due to the astonishing discoveries made in the testing of these tanks, the Rabbit Ministry of National Defense, the Ordnance Industry Corporation, and several tank scientific research units have sent additional personnel to carry out research. This caused the warehouse to be full of people, and they were all of a high level.
It should be said that the performance of the current 99A tank, the main force of the rabbit family's land warfare, has been able to climb to the world's first-class level. High-performance high-horsepower engine, hydraulic-mechanical gearbox, hydraulic-hydraulic dual-flow steering device, and built-in hydraulic brakes, which are already top-level luxury equipment in the tank industry.
But if you want to say what shortcomings the 99A has, there is no doubt that it is a big flaw in firepower. The penetration of the so-called "three-stage bomb" is about 700mm, which is still far behind the US military's M829A3, and the upgrade potential is almost exhausted. And the Yankee actually came up with an A5 bomb with a penetration depth of more than 1000 mm.
It can only be said that Laomei's technical reserves are too deep!
"We have arranged to conduct more tests on the M829A5 bomb. It can be said with certainty that the country is currently deficient in cutting-edge metallurgy and chemistry, and a series of technologies such as bullet core, propellant and filling are far behind."
A chief teacher sighed at first, but then changed the subject and said with a loud smile: "This time the national security department has made a great contribution. Not only have they brought live ammunition and guns, but they are also said to be able to obtain related technologies.
We are no different than we were back then. In the past, we had technology but no supporting industrial system. Many things are like a layer of window paper to us now, and great progress can be made if we pierce it. "
With the words of the chief teacher, the brows of the leaders were slightly relaxed. In fact, Zhou Qingfeng really sold the relevant materials about M829A5 for a good price not long ago, and in the process of studying the materials in China, he decided to first make a breakthrough in the technology of propellant and fire tube.
The American M829 series has a unique skill when it reaches the A3 stage. It does not need a fire tube in the shell, and the core can be made very long. Other countries have made similar attempts, but there is only one result..., directly bombing the bomb.
Now that there is a huge amount of information sent by Zhou Qingfeng, the result is that after half a month, North Industries will trial-produce a batch of improved ammunition in small batches. However, the military felt dissatisfied, thinking that it was too different from the best ammunition of the US military.
In flower growers, the products eliminated in the military industry are often pushed to the foreign trade market. Just in time for Abu Dhabi, a big dog family, to hold a defense exhibition, so the local tyrants in the Middle East saw the VT-4 tanks participating in the exhibition. The tank is still the same, but there is a new type of ammunition that can be attached.
"Your armor-piercing shells have achieved a penetration depth of 750 mm at 2,000 meters?" A hooded oil prince stood in front of the booth of Rabbit's North Industries, looking at the several shells placed in front of the tank with delighted eyes.
In addition to the display of grenades, armor-piercing shells, armor-piercing shells and other ammunition, there is also a cross-sectional model of an armor-piercing shell and a homogeneous steel plate shot at 60 degrees. There is an extremely conspicuous penetration mark on the steel plate.
Local tyrants in the Middle East have never paid attention to the quality of their soldiers, but they like to pursue the world's most advanced equipment. But to be honest, they don't understand the equipment system,
You can only pay close attention to certain hard indicators, such as the penetration depth of tank guns - the greater the penetration depth, the more powerful it is naturally!
Prince Youba stretched out his arm to make a rough estimate, and the penetration depth on the average steel plate in front of him obviously exceeded 700 mm. You must know that the armor-piercing ammunition currently exported by the United States is only about 650 to 700 mm-even if it is the old United States, the most advanced ammunition will not be sold casually.
Now Rabbit actually starts to sell armor-piercing bullets with a penetration depth of more than 700 mm, which is completely overturning the table and destroying the market!
Prince Youba's attention naturally aroused the curiosity of countless people, and various media also focused on this new type of armor-piercing projectile. The boss of North Industries hurried out to receive the big dogs, and military personnel from other countries also came to collect information.
John Bull came, Gallic Chicken came, Hans Cat came, Mao Bear also came, and finally the unbelievable Eagle Sauce also sent someone. While others only focused on the penetrated homogeneous steel plate, the real experts focused on the section model of the armor-piercing projectile at a glance.
Rabbit's armor-piercing projectile technology has made a breakthrough. They have overcome the danger of bombing, canceled the fire tube, and inserted the core of the armor-piercing projectile straight to the bottom. This power is at least 20% higher than before!
The armor-piercing bullets Rabbit used in the past had a penetration depth of around 600mm at 2,000 meters, but this time they actually took out ammunition with a penetration depth of 750mm to smash the field, which shows that the ammunition they used for their own use has exceeded 750mm.
"Can the penetration depth of your armor-piercing projectiles really exceed 750mm?" Representatives from General Dynamics and the U.S. Army were very skeptical about the ammunition displayed by Norinco. Because their mainstream M829A3 bullets are similar in power.
We must know that the increased power of tank guns will inevitably force tanks to improve their defense. In fact, what the "Abrams" tank is most proud of is not how powerful its artillery is, but that it has experienced various challenges in actual combat and proved that its defense is very reliable.
Rabbit, you took out this kind of shell and sold it, didn't you want to hit us in the face? It's really bad!
The opponent's question is a challenge. The boss of North Industries is negotiating business with Prince Youba, and there is room for slander. This is a way to stop people from making money, such as killing their parents. He said on the spot, "We can shoot a few live ammunition to see whether our shells are more powerful or your armor is strong enough."
Fuck..., these Chinese eat gunpowder!
Regarding the confidence of Northern Industries, Yingjiang's people dare not answer casually, but Prince Youba likes this kind of straightforward competition too much. After all, ordinary people can't understand what kind of professional test to do, so it's better to just play a few rounds.
Rabbit's new shells are going to be tested with live ammunition, and the media at the entire defense exhibition has become a sensation. After all, the audience is already bored with any static and dynamic display, so it would be interesting to have a few rounds of live ammunition!
The place in Abu Dhabi is full of yellow sand and open land. In order to make the test more challenging, the oil bully prince even asked someone to get their own M1A2sep 'Abrams'.
The Yankees turned green when they saw this scene, because they sold this 'Abrams' to the oil bully. However, oil tyrants don't know how to use them, and even a guerrilla team can be abolished.
The local tyrant's aura of oil tyrant broke out, and what was pulled out was a destroyed 'Abrams'. People don't plan to repair it anymore, so they just use it as a target and ask to directly hit the thickest part of the frontal armor.
Now the media is even more excited - is Ying Jiang's armor so powerful? Or is the rabbit's shells powerful?
Everyone wait and see!
