Super military empire

What's more, in the current situation, once there is a new generation of tanks, the Republic will definitely equip them in large quantities.

59 has been used for too many years, and the 79 tank is out of the 59 and 69 technical upgrades.This tank is considered the most advanced tank in the Republic. At the same time, it was the strongest modification worldwide in the 1980s and the best modification in the 54/55 family worldwide in the 1980s.

No matter how you change it, this thing is just an ordinary medium tank.

Everyone's third-generation tanks have already begun to scurry around on the battlefield.

Shame on 79 out?

Liu Yijiu definitely can't afford to lose that person.

Therefore, it is necessary to come up with Magic Modification 59 that can compete with the three generations of foreign tanks, and put it on those battlefields. Not to mention bullying the advanced tanks of the United States and the Soviet Union, at least it can resist their attacks.

This is Liu Yijiu’s idea. Once it is made out, the Republic will not lose much in this regard. When the electronic system is upgraded in the future, various upgrades to the 59 tanks in service can save a lot of money. .

That's all small money!

Liu Yijiu told everyone about the several layers of armor on the 99 modified tank he knew.For him, these are already practiced techniques, while for others, this is a new theory.

"Homogeneous steel armor, this can be; composite armor, this is a must. As for the reactive armor made of modular inert explosives installed outside, it will not be a problem to discuss it at the end..." Liu Yijiu These crazy ideas made other old men become fanatical.

Especially Cao Feng, who was named by Liu Yijiu to come here, is a future master.This young man, who is only in his early thirties, will be the chief expert of the Republic’s protective armor research in the future.For such a person, Liu Yijiu naturally had to get him inside the base.

The more talented people appear in the base of the Ninth Academy, the easier his job will be.

"Director Liu, do you mean that we not only put composite armor on the new tank modification?" Cao Feng's eyes flashed hot.

He had heard about the reactive armor of foreign research for a long time, but he didn't see the actual thing. Liu Yijiu first proposed to improve the fifty-nine tanks in service in China and upgrade their technology.

Cao Feng also asked Liu Yijiu to discuss these issues. He was even very curious about where Liu Yijiu's technical theoretical knowledge and wonderful ideas came from.

When the reactive armor explodes, it will use a reverse force to reduce the kinetic energy of the armor-piercing projectile, thus giving the composite armor behind it a stronger defense.

"Yes, as long as the protection of our tanks can be strengthened without affecting the combat capability and increasing production costs, it is not a problem!" Liu Yijiu said with a smile.

Hearing his words, Jiang Ming was even speechless.

At the beginning, Liu Yijiu still said to control the weight of the tank, increase power, and increase flexibility!

This question was raised immediately.

"The change of the battlefield situation requires the tank to be lightweight, so we must consider adopting new technologies. First, using new materials, a large number of lightweight and high-strength titanium alloys, aluminum alloys and other materials must be used to strengthen the structure of the tank. Reduce weight. Second, we must change our design thinking so that the weapons and equipment we design have the ability to actively protect, instead of passively waiting for the enemy’s shells to attack, and then use thick armor to counteract this. It requires us to have a stronger and faster strike capability than the enemy! Third, it is to use some reactive armor and composite armor in the appropriate parts. Only in this way can we be light in weight and not weak in performance..." Liu Yijiu puts forward the future Some performance requirements and design concepts for the weapon support platform have been put forward.

Only a combat platform with active as if capability can survive longer on the battlefield.

The 59th tank is just a medium-sized tank with a weight of only about 30 tons, but these 30 tons can be replaced by advanced materials in many places.Like titanium alloys, this can effectively reduce the weight of this tank while improving its protection.

"Titanium alloy? Director Xiao Liu, the cost is very high. The production cost per ton of all the things we have studied here is hundreds of thousands..." Hearing this, I have never had the money to talk. Dayong disagreed.

The cost must be controlled at a level that the Republic can bear.

Titanium alloy is indeed high in strength, but it is reluctant to use it on airplanes in China.

This is a much lower cost compared to the millions of tons of titanium alloy produced by other units, but when you think of ordinary special steel, it is only tens of thousands of dollars a ton.

In this way, the cost will go up stubbornly, and the base management committee will definitely not agree to the funding.

"Is the production cost of hundreds of thousands a ton very high? Compared with the improvement of the performance of a tank, there is nothing unacceptable to increase the cost by a small amount. When we design weapons, the most important consideration should be performance, not cost. When we reach the highest performance we can achieve, we should consider how to control production costs, which can reduce those performances and reduce more production costs. Soviet t64 tanks, in the 1960s, each cost more than three Millions of dollars; the new generation of main battle tanks currently made by the United States, the xm1, has been introduced to you with various performances derived from the American population. The cost of one is more than six million dollars..." Liu Yijiu felt that it must be changed Their thoughts.

For weapons and equipment with average performance and low cost, let the 617 factory do a good job. The 541 tank base will basically not have a long way to go in this regard. This unit will be formed into a joint-stock company in the next ten years. Enterprises are still heavy industries, but they basically no longer have anything to do with military products.

He couldn't let this huge tank unit just disappear into the torrent of history.

Moreover, the new tanks they researched must also be produced in a huge factory like 541.

As for getting 617 into his hands, Liu Yijiu never thought about that factory, basically it was impossible.541 That is to be restructured!

When the time comes, just buy it at the price of cabbage, so as not to let the moths of the future background engulf the national interests.Even in their hands, they are still national assets.

"Behind this tank, since the Black Arrow anti-tank missiles and Houyi air defense missiles are to be installed, I don't think the air defense machine guns are of much use. A coaxial machine gun is enough. Jet fighters and air defense machine guns are enough. No, but for the low-flying gunship, the guns and rocket launching nests on it will have a longer range than the anti-aircraft machine gun..." To install anti-tank and anti-aircraft missile launchers, there is no need to get anti-aircraft machine guns. Up.

This can also leave a lot of costs, and at the same time, a great structural adjustment can be made to the tank's inner compartment.

"No, keep the anti-aircraft machine guns. The coaxial machine guns are not needed. The main purpose of the coaxial machine guns at first was to correct the ballistics of tank shells. Now with the advanced gun sight system, this thing is useless. As for the infantry, it is now impossible to appear densely on the battlefield. On the southwestern battlefield, our soldiers fully proved that the anti-aircraft machine gun on the tank is more effective than the parallel machine gun to kill the infantry..." Liu Yijiu said evilly.

The caliber of the parallel machine gun is too small.

The 12.7 mm anti-aircraft anti-aircraft machine gun is used to fight infantry with better effect.

If the tank is used in urban combat, the coaxial machine gun on it has too little caliber, and the effect is not very good...

"This is not a waste..."

"In the case of closer distances, the anti-aircraft machine gun should also have a very good effect on the helicopter." Liu Yijiu mainly thought that without the anti-aircraft machine gun, the tank would not look so good on the parade...

In fact, this thing doesn't even need a machine gun.

This was originally a heavy-duty firepower platform for attacking fortifications, and the supporting armored vehicle they were going to develop, in order to reduce the load on the vehicle chassis and engine, they even reduced the gun caliber for support to 30 mm!

Armored vehicles with stronger assault capabilities are the greatest support for infantry in close combat.

"Moreover, we have armored vehicles that match the tanks. There is no need to add too many unnecessary functions to the tank..." Liu Yijiu said to everyone.

Time, under the discussion of everyone, slowly passed.

In addition to the fact that there are still only 5 pairs of road wheels, the turret has begun to change shape, and a tank sketch that is not much different from that of 59 suddenly appeared on the drawing.

At present, only an assembly design has been made. The front and rear large inclination shape design, especially the deep V-shaped baffle in the front, has appeared on this brand-new monster.After the final discussion, in order to save trouble, the 59 tank after the magic change still uses the 105-caliber smoothbore gun. Of course, it is still necessary to design the basis for the 125 tank gun turret.

These guys don't think there is any problem with the car carrying the cannon.

If it really doesn't work, just put a 1500-horsepower super heart on this small tank. By then, it may be able to make this monster rush on the battlefield at a speed of more than 100 kilometers!

Two 2x2 missile launchers are painted on the back of the buttocks, one is anti-tank missiles and the other is anti-aircraft missiles...

Seeing the hideous monster on the drawing, Liu Yijiu smiled.

It is estimated that the cost of this thing will not exceed 1.2 million US dollars per car!Because there are not too many advanced electronic systems, at the same time, all kinds of weapon systems are designed by themselves!
