Chapter 248 Turret Bra
There are many military comments about the Leopard 2 tank in later generations. The most complaint is the protection ability of Leopard 2. At this time, the most outstanding armor research in Western Europe was the UK. The Qiaobam armor was invented, with its protective power second only to the depleted uranium armor. The bra of Leopard 2 also uses parallel Chobam armor from the UK.
This is also a defect of Leopard 2, but it is not necessarily a fatal defect, it depends on the user's environment.
Pakistan is going to compete with India. In the southern region, large desert areas are the most ideal place for armored soldiers. There, the 120mm artillery of the Leopard 2 tank can kill the Indian T-55 tanks at a distance of more than 1,500 meters. In this case, the Indians can only stare at them. Even if the T-72 tank is equipped with the Indian army, it still has no place to use its power in front of the firepower of the Leopard 2. Unless the T-72 uses gunfire missiles, other armor-piercing missiles must be within one thousand meters to ensure accuracy.
With excellent maneuverability, the Leopard 2 tank can move quickly after the opponent fires a shell and avoids the opponent's attack. Even if it only moves half of the body, it can greatly reduce the opponent's hit accuracy.
Other tanks of the same era, the m1 fuel-consuming gas turbine, the challenger's rifled gun, not to mention French goods, the French were unreliable. As for the cheap Soviet tanks, they are now fighting with the Soviet Union. How could the Soviets export the tanks to Pakistan?
In fact, Leopard 2 is not a vulnerable attack in the mouths of those military fans. Otherwise, they would not be compared with Leopard 2 and m1 every time a new tank comes out, because all aspects of Leopard 2 are very balanced, and in the export market, if m1 encounters Leopard 2, it will definitely be defeated.
Therefore, Pakistan has only one tank to choose from, and what Pakistan needs is how to strive for the greatest benefit.
The rd33 engine is a chess move. This bra is the second step.
Many times, it is just a matter of thinking. When Mhamad talks about this bra, the German engineer suddenly realizes that, yes, this should have been done like this long ago!
However, even if you use German armor technology, it is still not the best. By the way, the person in front of you just said that you want to add bras on Pakistani tanks. Do they have new armor technology?
Thinking of this, a chief engineer and the company's deputy general manager, Yu'anli said: "What kind of bra is your country going to add?"
Cole doesn't understand these terms. But it seems that it is something that is very beneficial to oneself. Shouldn't bras be the most fashionable in romantic France?
"In recent years, we have jointly developed armor technology with Eastern countries. There is already a kind of composite armor that can be put into use." Mhamad said: "We plan to install our own composite armor bra on the front end of the turret after introducing Leopard 2 to increase the protection ability."
Eastern countries! Mhamad certainly knew that the composite armor of Eastern countries had been developed since the 1970s, and after more than ten years of development, it also formed its own characteristics. After all, Eastern countries are facing the armored forces of the huge polar bears in the north, and large-scale ground wars will break out at any time. Their demand for armored forces is even more urgent.
Now, it is not difficult to obtain this composite armor technology with the friendly relations between Pakistan and Eastern countries. At the same time, Pakistan has obtained high-power diesel engines, hydraulic transmission, advanced suspension, and various technologies from Germany by exchanging this armor technology.
Needless to say, the chassis technology of the Type 96 and Type 99 tanks developed by the later generations of the Eastern countries still originated from the T-72, and the engine is still the 1,200-horsepower engine, which has led to insufficient maneuverability. It was not until the 99 modification that the 1,500-horsepower engine was replaced. The transmission system is still a mechanical and hydraulic manual transmission, and it cannot achieve a leap in maneuverability.
Technology exchange is mutual, and even if it is just exchanged chassis technology, it is completely worth it.
"How is Naga's bra's level of protection?" the other party continued to ask.
"500mm homogeneous armor," said Mhamad.
He couldn't brag about the tax, and he didn't mention the thickness of the bra anyway, Mhamad simply said casually.
500mm homogeneous armor! Even Chobam armor can only achieve homogeneous armor equivalent to 550mm, and later on Challenger 2, it was only increased to 750mm homogeneous armor. Now, this bra can increase the protection level of 500mm homogeneous armor. Coupled with the original defense ability of the turret, it will greatly increase the protection level of the tank!
"It's a pity that your side refuses to export the production line to us, so our cooperation will not be able to continue." Mhamad said. At this time, he had switched to the word cooperation, and he had seen the German demand for composite armor.
"Sorry, we need to discuss it." said Reuter.
This is related to the vital interests of Klaus-Mafi, and they must study it before they can decide.
Watching these people leave, Mhamad sipped his coffee slowly and looked at the ceiling above his head.
There may be German eavesdropping here, so no one in the walkers said what they shouldn't have said, but from the eyes, Mhamad could also see inquiries, how to solve the problem of composite armor?
Mhamad responded to his calm eyes, no matter what, he fooled the Germans first!
Soon, the Germans came back, and Prime Minister Kohl said cordially: "We have carefully studied and in order to help our Pakistani friends, we decided to export the production line of this kind of tank. However, due to your limited industrial capacity, we will provide the engine complete machine, fire control, sighting system and gun barrel. You are mainly responsible for the assembly and production of the vehicle body. The steel required for the vehicle body can be imported from us."
After talking for a long time, I changed it back to a assembly factory! Pakistan just used a complete set of steel to weld it, turned it into a car body, and then installed various accessories made from Germany, completely treating Pakistan as a San?
"What we need is a production line, various supporting materials, and also needs to be produced in China in Pakistan. You are just providing us with a final assembly. I'm sorry, I'm very sorry." Mhamad said.
The first day of negotiations ended in failure. The proud Germans were very reserved about the technology and refused to sell it to Pakistan. Of course, this is understandable. After all, these are the most advanced technologies in Germany.
The night sky in Munich was so bright that Lilith hugged Mhamad's neck and the moonlight shone on the two of them.
"Dear, aren't you unhappy?" Lilis asked Mhamad.
"Of course not." Mhamad said: "Tomorrow, we will end our visit in Germany and head to the next stop, Austria."
What Mhamad needs is to completely improve Pakistan's equipment level, base itself on the domestic level, introduce advanced technology, and even military technology, it will eventually promote the rapid development of domestic industry.
If only two hundred Leopard 2 tanks were introduced, it would be far from the demand for Mhamad. Mhamad would rather put the German pigeons once.
Mhamad has long had an alternative plan. If it is impossible to introduce Leopard 2, it will cooperate with Austria. In terms of civilian use, it will introduce Austrian Steyr trucks. In terms of military use, it will introduce Austria's patent for 155mm 45 times the caliber g-45 artillery and 155mm artillery. That is the main long-range suppression firepower of the army. This 45 times the caliber gun has advanced technology and the most important thing is its electric slag heavy steel technology. By introducing this technology and joining the eastern countries to develop 120mm artillery. Later Eastern countries achieved the leap development of tank guns after introducing the electric slag heavy steel technology.
We must adhere to principles! Pakistan’s finances are not rich, so we must obtain enough technology to buy such advanced tanks!
"As long as you can be with you, you can go anywhere." Lilith said, with red lips approaching. Mhamad's hand couldn't help but hold Lilith's sexy buttocks, and she was wearing nothing in her tight skirt.
It was an unforgettable night.
Klaus Mafi Company is also experiencing the saddest night.
When he was working with the United States for the mbt70 project, Klaus developed many advanced technologies. After the project failed, these technologies did not fall into the hands of Americans. Now, Pakistanis actually ask for technology. How can we agree?
However, if you do not agree, the company's most lacking armor technology will not be obtained.
"After our investigation, the United States confirmed that Eastern countries began to develop composite armor in the 1970s, and now they have achieved results." Even Prime Minister Kerr remained in Klaus's company. After all, this is related to the development of Germany's national defense power. In addition to armor, there are also aircraft engines!
"At most, we sold the engine technology to them. Our tanks, the most advanced one, was the fire control system. This is our secret. They must import our components and assemble them." Finally, Louit made up his mind to change the same thing.
Even one engine is enough for Pakistanis to digest and absorb. Now, in order to develop their ridiculous Arjun main battle tank, the Indians use engines imported from Germany. When Germany handed over the 1,500 horsepower engine parts to India for assembly, the entire machine installed by the Indians could not even reach one thousand horsepower! (To be continued...)
