Chapter 496 Individual Equipment

Light weapons must be a series, including squad machine guns, assault rifles, and sniper rifles, to serve the role of equipping the entire frontline infantry.

Mhamad attaches great importance to these. Now, we cannot make a hasty decision. Based on these weapons, it may be more appropriate to design weapons that are suitable for use by Pakistan.

However, this is only an individual weapon system, and the equipment of an individual soldier includes quite a lot of types.

For example, the simplest clothes!

Soldiers wear uniforms when reviewing, and camouflage uniforms when fighting and training.

Ordinary camouflage uniforms just have various irregular camouflage blocks on the clothes. Now, although the camouflage uniforms developed by Pakistan also look like various camouflage blocks, these patterns are all carefully designed. . This is similar to the digital camouflage of later generations, a new type of camouflage uniform composed of "pixels".

The smooth edges of traditional camouflage, while the disorder of digital camouflage, are somewhat similar to ghillie suits, and can adapt to the concealment needs in a variety of environmental backgrounds, such as jungles, deserts, urban areas and anti-jamming night vision equipment. Moreover, it also has camouflage performance under infrared detection and night vision goggles.

After viewing various small weapons, Hamad saw this camouflage uniform in the research workshop at the back.

"We have processed dozens of patterns. After comparison, the current pattern is already the most perfect. It is very suitable for our tropical monsoon climate and a small amount of subtropical, plateau, and desert climates." The person in charge said to Mhamad said.

Hamad nodded. This camouflage uniform has met the requirements and can be put into army equipment. It can be tried out by the army and provide more feedback. Improve it further.

"Reporting to the President, here are our physical fitness clothes." The person in charge continued: "These clothes are made of quick-drying fabrics, which can dry quickly after absorbing sweat."

Mhammad looked at these physical fitness uniforms. The upper body is a digital camouflage vest and the lower body is grass green shorts. This is also to allow soldiers to fight directly in the vest without worrying about concealment. For this kind of physical fitness clothing, it is worn close to the body, and the most important thing is the choice of fabric. In later generations, the Chinese army's physical fitness uniforms used chemical fiber clothes. Soldiers sweated a lot after exercise, and the clothes soaked up the sweat and stuck to their bodies wet, which was very uncomfortable. In combat, this definitely affected the mood of the battle.

Next to the physical fitness clothes, there are combat boots. These combat boots are divided into three categories. Standard boots. That is, infantry boots. These boots are made of hard-soled nylon with a high waist and quick zippers on the sides for better breathability. High-waist cloth made of nylon has been treated with waterproofing, is relatively cheap, and is suitable for a large number of equipment.

Engineer boots are infantry boots with steel soles and steel toes, because they have to be careful to prevent their toes from being hit by boxes or the like during work, and a kick of these boots can break the opponent's leg bones.

Aviator boots. They are boots worn by pilots. They are actually leather infantry boots. Once the aircraft catches fire, the nylon will melt and stick to the skin, and the consequences will be serious.

Of course, there are other special equipment, such as special forces, paratroopers, and mountain troops that may require some more special combat boots, such as special combat boots, paratrooper boots, and mountain boots, which are all improved on the basis of standard boots.

On top of the boots are gloves. There are two types in total, a pair of close-fitting leather gloves for shooting, with a half-finger structure on the index finger to facilitate soldiers pulling the trigger, and a pair of wear-resistant and flame-retardant gloves. Used for rappelling etc.

"President, our equipment is exclusively for use by special forces," said Mushaaf, who was watching.

The main thing about the army's equipment is that it is large in quantity. If these items are allotted to special forces, but all are distributed to individual soldiers, the cost will be quite high.

"First it will be equipped to the special forces, but in the future, it will be gradually equipped to the entire army." Mhammad said: "A good piece of equipment can save the lives of soldiers on the battlefield. No matter how much investment is compared with lives, It’s worth it, not just the clothes, but the stuff.”

Mhamad's finger pointed over, and following the direction of Mhamad's hand, Mushaaf could see a dummy. At this time, on the body of the dummy, except for the clothes and boots he just saw, In addition, he also carries various equipment.

Combat vest, bulletproof inserts, helmet, radio, goggles, backpack, in this era, it really looks like a future soldier.

When going to the battlefield, soldiers need to wear a combat vest on top of their digital camouflage uniforms. Bulletproof inserts can be inserted into this combat vest.

Mushaaf didn't know much about the bulletproof inserts, but a guard who followed Mhamad was excited when he saw the bulletproof inserts. This guard had fought with Mhammad in Afghanistan. Yes, I have seen the power of this bulletproof insert.

At first, Mhamad picked up the bulletproof armor from the Soviet Hind helicopter, transformed it into bulletproof inserts, and placed them on his front and rear. These bulletproof inserts saved Mhamad's life.

It's just that the bulletproof insert plate at that time was made of solid titanium alloy, and the cost of this thing was very high, and it could not be carried by a single soldier at all.

Therefore, after Hamad became the president of Pakistan, he began to pay attention to individual equipment, including bulletproof inserts.

Bulletproof inserts are not yet commonplace, but in later generations, when Americans fight wars around the world, this thing will be standard equipment for individual soldiers no matter where they go.

The main device of the bulletproof insert is the plate, which can be steel plate, alloy, ceramic, plastic, etc. Generally speaking, ceramic plates are the most common. There are even rumors that two tiles can be glued together in the middle to become a bulletproof plate. The rumor terminator has also done experiments. As a result, pistol bullets can really be blocked, but rifle bullets... When the tiles behind are broken, the flying fragments are enough to kill people.

Now, Muhammad reached in and took out the bulletproof insert from inside. It is a black ceramic plate. This is a special research and development. The source is the technology of China. It is made of materials similar to the composite armor in tank armor. After many tests, a bulletproof insert was finally trial-produced.

And there are Kevlar materials on both sides of this insert.

Kevlar material is an aramid fiber composite material developed by DuPont in the United States in the 1960s. It is called aramid 1414. In 1972, it was officially commercialized and the product was registered as Kevlar. Models are divided into K29, K49, K49AP, etc.

This new material has low density, high strength, good toughness, high temperature resistance, and is easy to process and shape. Its strength is 5 times that of steel of the same quality, but its density is only one-fifth of that of steel. When this material was invented, it was first used in the military.

However, the current Kevlar material is far from the level of application in later generations. The important reason is technology and funds. Now, this material is still monopolized by the United States. Pakistan has introduced this aramid fiber with its good relationship with the United States. It is used on both sides of the bulletproof insert to hold possible fragments.

As for the Kevlar used in helmets, Pakistan has no way to introduce it. After all, after the Americans invented the Kevlar material, it took six years to use this material to make helmets, reaching the second-level protection standard.

"What level can this bulletproof insert reach?" Muhammad asked.

This thing is modern armor, which is related to the life safety of soldiers. Pakistan has been in conflict with India for many years. This equipment cannot be sloppy.

"It can resist 7.62mm rifle bullets, but it can't resist steel core armor-piercing bullets. The disadvantage is that it is a bit heavy." said the person in charge.

Compared with the titanium alloy bulletproof insert that Muhammad made on the battlefield, this thing is almost twice as heavy.

"It seems that further improvement is needed." Muhammad said: "I hope our scientific and technological workers will work harder and strive to produce better products."

"Yes." The person in charge replied excitedly.

In addition to the bulletproof insert, the design of the combat vest is also very reasonable. It uses the later American TAC series as the prototype. The Molle stripe on the abdomen can mount up to six large AK magazine bags, each with 2 magazines, or two drum bags. There are also Molle stripes on the waistband of the vest, which can be mounted with bayonets, water bottles, three-section folding engineer shovels, pistol magazine bags, grenade bags, a leg bag connected to the left waistband, two horizontal straps fixed on the thigh, which can hold pistol magazine bags, grenade bags and some sundries, a pistol quick holster on the right leg, and a saddle bag on the right hip, which can hold split raincoats and gas masks, towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste and a portable tableware. The left chest pocket of the vest holds a medical bag and a walkie-talkie bag, and the right side hangs an American L-shaped flashlight. There is a Molle stripe on the back, which can be mounted with a water bag and a drum bag. It is large in size and can be used as a long-distance reconnaissance backpack. There is a handle at the top of the back to facilitate others to ask for help from injured soldiers.

With the development of electronic technology in Pakistan, it has been possible to develop small walkie-talkies. When fighting together on the battlefield, advanced means such as walkie-talkies can be used to facilitate command.

Behind the model is a large backpack, similar to the US military's ALICE backpack, with an external aluminum alloy bracket. It can not only be used as a backpack, but also as a radio or artillery shells, etc. The three large pockets can also be used to easily access items. The backpack contains three days of rations, a single-soldier tent, clothes for replacement, a floor mat, etc.

When the infantry fights alone, this large backpack is the logistics supply. In later generations, special forces often see this kind of backpack when fighting in the field. (To be continued ~^~)
