Chapter 134 Tank Performance (Subscribe for Monthly Tickets)
A kilometer-long dirt road.
Dust was flying.
The tank was moving at the fastest speed.
An abandoned car was directly crushed and could not stop the tank at all.
"What is the maximum speed of this tank?" Mohammed couldn't help asking.
"70 kilometers per hour!" Liu Tao gave an astonishing number.
70 kilometers per hour! ?
Mohammed and others were shocked. This number was very astonishing.
Because this tank weighs 55 tons, this speed is very astonishing.
You should know that Iraq is equipped with a large number of T62 tanks, which is just a light tank with a total weight of only 23 tons, not even half the weight of this tank.
And even so, the maximum road speed of the T62 tank is only 50 kilometers per hour.
Then, the tank entered the S curve, which also represents an important manifestation of the tank's performance.
"Mr. Mohammed, this tank driver has only been in contact with this tank for three or four days!" Liu Tao said with a smile, "The cockpit of this tank is very modern. Even ordinary people can easily get started and drive a tank."
"How is it possible? Only three or four days?" Mohammed was shocked and full of disbelief.
The training of armored soldiers is much more difficult than that of infantry.
For an armored unit to truly exert its combat effectiveness, it must be run-in for at least two years, because tank armored soldiers belong to technical arms and are not easy to train.
It takes at least two years for a tank driver to drive a tank smoothly.
If what Liu Tao said is true, maybe the driver only needs one or two months to drive a tank smoothly.
"Your Excellency can go up and experience it yourself later!" Liu Tao said with a smile.
Wang Baoguo does not know English. After the two sides shook hands, the initiative on their side gradually shifted to Liu Tao.
"Mohammed, I drove for a while before, and I felt that I could drive a tank!" Al laughed, "It's much easier than driving a car, very simple."
Rashid also said: "I think any ordinary person can drive it in ten days or half a month."
Liu Tao secretly praised in his heart. Al and Rashid were honest people. The kickbacks were not given in vain. They were not the kind of people who only took money but did not work.
They can indeed cooperate for a long time in the future.
Mohammed said: "We will try it ourselves later."
Holding the telescope, watching the tank quickly pass the S-bend, Mohammed secretly marveled at the excellent performance of this tank.
Then the tank entered a terrain with complex terrain and various trenches.
But even if it was a three-meter-wide trench, the tank flew over it easily and quickly.
Mohammed's eyes lit up.
"Boom~~"
The tank stopped and fired.
The 120mm tank gun fired, the momentum was quite large, even if it was hundreds of meters away, it still felt deafening.
A bunker 1,000 meters away was directly blown to pieces.
Then it aimed at the bunker 2,000 meters away and fired another shot.
"Does this tank use infrared aiming?" Mohammed couldn't help asking, the accuracy is too high.
Liu Tao explained: "It is equipped with a laser rangefinder, a general telescope, a panoramic observation mirror, a turret observation mirror, a low-altitude monitor, a thermal imager, and a gunner's thermal sensing sight."
Mohammed was secretly shocked. Although he had never heard of some of the instruments, he felt that they were high-end.
"The observation and aiming system of the tank is definitely at the world's first-class level." Liu Tao said: "The tank gun can easily hit the target accurately at a distance of 2,000 meters. The first-generation tanks and the second-generation tanks are often destroyed by it without discovering it!"
The effective range of the first-generation tanks is 700~1,000 meters, and the effective range of the second-generation tanks is often 1,000~1,300 meters.
As for the maximum range, although it will be farther, the accuracy is not guaranteed.
When Mohammed thought of this situation on the battlefield, tanks met and had a tank war, this tank was so powerful that it destroyed first-generation tanks and second-generation tanks one by one from a distance.
This tank is fast and has strong mobility, and other tanks can't catch up.
Mohammed couldn't help but think of the Leopard 2 tank of West Germany.
The most advanced main battle tank in Europe and the United States is the Leopard 2 tank. Now the Leopard 2 tank has begun mass production and will soon be equipped in the West German army.
Compared with the second-generation tanks, the performance of the third-generation tanks has been significantly improved.
Stronger armor, stronger mobility, stronger firepower, and a huge improvement in the fire control system.
Mobility is a very important indicator of tank performance.
What was just shown was the static shooting of the tank, and the next one is dynamic shooting.
In the past, tanks mostly stayed in one place to fire, fired one or two shots and drove away, waited to stop and aimed again, and then drove away, and so on.
But later, there were higher requirements for tank performance, and firing while walking became the focus of research.
Shooting on the move has also become one of the training subjects for tank armored soldiers!
This combat method can greatly reduce the probability of being hit by enemy tank guns and significantly improve the survival rate.
Shooting on the move is simple to say, but it is actually not that simple. It has very high requirements for tanks.
It needs to rely on aiming device stabilizers, automatic loaders, thermal imagers, various sensors, and motion data computers, etc., which can make it possible for the tank to shoot accurately while moving.
"Boom~~" The tank kept firing while moving.
Liu Tao's heart was bleeding secretly. What he shot was not shells, but money!
If the order was not negotiated, he would lose money.
This time, only two base tank shells were delivered to Beijing along with the tank.
Liu Tao could only pray secretly, don't get excited and use up all the shells of one base.
The tank fired one after another, very smooth.
At this point, the tank performance was over.
The tank began to drive back and soon stayed steadily not far from Liu Tao and his team.
When the dust cleared, Liu Tao and his team walked towards the tank.
At this time, the driver, gunner, and vehicle commander came out.
The three were very excited. Obviously, they were all very excited to have a good experience today.
"Mr. Mohammed, how about experiencing it yourself?" Liu Tao looked at Mohammed.
If you want the other party to truly experience the performance of the tank, the best way is to let the other party drive the tank personally and experience it for himself.
Mohammed is not Al Rashid, but a real tank soldier, and he is the commander of the armored division.
Laymen watch the excitement, while experts see the doorway.
Mohammed agreed without hesitation, then climbed onto the tank and began to enter the cockpit.
As soon as he entered the cockpit, Mohammed immediately found the difference. The cockpit space is larger and more comfortable.
More importantly, the cockpit actually has air conditioning. This tank is actually equipped with a refrigeration system! ?
Mohammed was shocked.
