Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 713

“The whole vehicle is 8 meters long, 3 meters wide, and 2.17 meters high. The basic model without heavy weapons weighs 14 tons. It uses a 12150L-3 diesel engine with a power of 316KW and 430 horsepower… 3 crew members and 7 infantry… …”

“430 horsepower? So powerful?” Xie Kai’s mouth was drooling, and his eyes gleamed.

This seems to be no different from ZBL-08?

And to be lighter?

“The maximum road speed is 110 kilometers, and the cross-country speed exceeds 40 kilometers…” Zhang Deming proudly introduced.

“Can an infantry fighting vehicle carrying a 122mm howitzer achieve this performance?” The Iraqi question caused Zhang Deming’s expression to change instantly.

Xie Kai clearly knows that it is not easy to solve the impact of the 122mm howitzer’s recoil on the entire infantry fighting vehicle.

Faced with such a tricky problem of the Iraqis, he had to stand up, “Sir, please note that this is an infantry fighting vehicle, not a self-propelled artillery!”

When the Iraqis heard Xie Kai’s words, their expressions were complicated.

Xie Kai also knows what the other side is thinking.

Obviously, the Iraqis regard this as a self-propelled artillery that can transport infantry.

If the self-propelled artillery is combined with the personnel carrier, the cost is much lower.

You know, the 122mm self-propelled howitzer sold by 404 is worth more than four million dollars. It is still a US dollar. So far, no country is willing to place an order, and Pakistan has been scammed…

“Aren’t you equipped with a 122mm howitzer?” the Iraqi asked Noofly, “Don’t you want to sell this?”

Zhang Deming didn’t know how to answer at all.

Could you tell the Iraqis, oh, don’t you count on it, our stuff is just a vision for the future, and there is no way to come up with it now, that is, the recoil of the 122mm howitzer can make the entire armored vehicle fall apart?

If you really say that, you can still mix up in the future?

The entire armored infantry transport vehicle weighs only 12 tons. As soon as the gun is fired, the entire vehicle will move a long one to the back. If the parking brake is turned on, the entire brake will not be able to fire a few shots!

How else can Zhang Deming explain?

Anyway, there is no way to explain it.

“Sir, please note that this is only a weapon module, a future upgrade direction. The larger the caliber, the stronger the recoil. You should be aware of this…” Xie Kai said calmly, “Furthermore, armor The most important thing for the troop carrier is to cooperate with the tanks to provide fire support for the infantry in some areas that need to be attacked…”

Xie Kai reminded the Iraqis.

Armored personnel carriers, the biggest role is to carry the enemy’s firepower to transport infantry to the front, in fact, the most fundamental thing is to cooperate with tanks.

Tanks, the king of land warfare, can crush infantry at a distance, but there is almost no fight back against infantry close to them.

Therefore, this cumbersome, but extremely powerful tank requires armored vehicles that can coordinate operations and transport infantry.

The infantry fighting vehicle provides protection for the infantry sent to the front line to fight and deploys to the front line faster, so it is the focus of the research of the armies of various countries.

“Such infantry fighting vehicles are not only for the purpose of cooperating with tanks. According to our vision, we hope that this kind of fighting vehicles will have independent combat capabilities. For example, in urban street fighting, when tank troops cannot follow up, light infantry When fire support is needed, the tanks that transport these infantry can provide heavy fire support…” Zhang Deming emphasized, “The body protection adopts the same compound attachment as the 359 tank, with the ability to add reactive armor… , This tank has the ability to resist 23mm armor-piercing incendiary bombs at 1000 meters on the front and 12.7mm armor-piercing incendiary bombs at 100 meters on the side… a group of 4 smoke grenade launchers on each side of the turret, and the vehicle is equipped with collective three The fire prevention device and the automatic fire extinguishing device can pass through rivers and lakes under the third-level wind without any preparation…”

Such armored vehicles are absolutely advanced in this era.

Xie Kai immediately understood why Zhang Deming was willing to abandon research on tanks and switch to research on armored vehicles.

Such armored vehicles, if they can carry 105mm rifled guns or 122mm howitzers, are even more effective than tanks.

When the Iraqis heard these introductions, their eyes lighted up, and the horrors were straight.

“The main weapon is the Shipnov 2A7230 mm machine gun, with a load of 500 rounds. The commander and the gunner are each equipped with a sighting mirror, and are equipped with a lower anti-image stabilization fire control system… The future development direction, we will Will study automatic turrets that do not require human operation…” Zhang Deming’s introduction is not over. “Also equipped with a 7.62mm parallel machine gun carrying 2000 rounds…”

Infantry fighting vehicles mainly fight against the enemy’s infantry.

Machine gun, this is a must have.

“At the same time, we can choose to match our avant-garde air defense missiles, new ground-to-surface missiles. This type of missile is a general-purpose type, only because of the different warheads and different combat targets, it is an improved model of that anti-tank missile…” Zhang Deming The situation of the entire infantry fighting vehicle was introduced.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“The missile can still attack fortifications?” The Iraqis obviously didn’t believe it. “Multifunctional missile?”

“The same structure, different warheads. Lieutenant colonel, please note that, as we have introduced before, this anti-tank missile can not only use the top attack mode, but also direct fire. For armored targets, the top is a weak link!”

You can’t have the top attack mode, so you give up direct shots.

At present, all anti-tank missiles are fired directly.

“Your armored infantry fighting vehicle has been designed and tested. Has it been tested?” Ibrahim did not pay much attention to it. He was more concerned about the specifics of this armored vehicle.

There are no advanced infantry fighting vehicles in Iraq.

It really uses the composite armor of the 359 tank, which is much better than their domestic armored vehicles under the same thickness.

Carrying a 122mm howitzer, etc., it is even more powerful than a self-propelled artillery.

“It is currently undergoing testing and has not yet been finalized…”

“It’s an unfinished product again!” Iraqis felt that they didn’t know how to express their feelings.

Why do the Chinese always provide unfinished weapons?

Treat them as weapons test subjects?

But so what, at least, they can get advanced weapons and equipment.

“At present, only models with 30mm machine guns have samples, and some of the technologies are not very mature. According to our design, these weapons can be replaced according to different combat environments and needs. In addition to the parallel machine gun, the main weapon is equipped with other top weapons. The power, car body, control and other systems are the same. Modular design is adopted, which is not only convenient for maintenance, but also can quickly match and integrate combat needs…” Zhang Deming continued to introduce.

People even conceal the huge infantry fighting vehicle in front of them.

This tank is equipped for combat with new tank systems.

A new generation of infantry fighting vehicle specially used for the mechanization of troops.

Not only is it undertaking the mission of bringing transportation materials and infantry into the battlefield environment, it is also an exploration of the development of a new generation of equipment.

Tracked armored personnel carriers are too slow, have poor maneuverability, and cannot maneuver quickly on highways.

“It seems to be no different from ZBL-08. Is the domestic technology really so advanced?” Xie Kai was a little confused.

Modular design, not completed so quickly.

And this 8X8 chassis is a bit like a missile launcher?

No matter how confused Xie Kai is on one side, the Iraqis are discussing excitedly on the side.

Wheeled infantry fighting vehicles can make their troops move faster.

In Iraq, the road conditions are much better than those in China. The tracked infantry fighting vehicle on the asphalt road can easily crush the surface of the road, and the speed can’t be faster.

“The Tikrit Division needs such an infantry fighting vehicle! This can provide rapid mobile deployment capabilities and also provide better protection for soldiers!” After demonstrating how the infantry carried in the vehicle fights, a colonel exclaimed With.

“How much is the price?” Ibrahim wanted to ask the price a long time ago.

Never found a chance!

If possible, he would love to shoot a lot of banknotes at the Chinese people in front of him and tell them, “Pack them all, I bought them all!”

However, I can only think about it.

Don’t let the damn Persians get it.

“General, because our car has not been finalized, the current price and cost are a bit high…” Zheng Yucheng said with a smile.

“Although our country is at war with the Persians and we don’t have much time to extract crude oil, can we not afford to pay for the equipment purchase?” a lieutenant colonel said coldly.

I just wrote on my face that I don’t need money.

“Director Zheng, we have been working together for so long, and the transaction amount has exceeded 2.5 billion U.S. dollars!” Ibrahim was also a little upset and looked down upon others too much.

Xie Kai looked at the reaction of the Iraqi suspiciously, and couldn’t figure out why.

The former Iraqis, although they looked like nouveau riche, would not be so obvious, would they?

The less people have nothing, the more they will show that they have it in a face-saving situation.

It’s totally strong in the outside world.

Iraqis out of money?

impossible.

It is only November 1986, and the Iran-Iraq War will not end until August 1988!

Don’t fight this?

Doesn’t fit the style of President Silly Oki.

wrong!

Silly Damu accepted the ceasefire agreement in July 1987, and now he doesn’t want to fight. Starting from 84, in order to force Persia to stop the soldiers and make peace, he adopted the policy of “promoting peace by war” and launched several large-scale offensives on the ground and at sea. …

Up to now, the Iran-Iraq war has not ended. Now it seems that the silly Damu troops are all on the defensive, and Persian talents are the active offensive side.

The Iran-Iraq War cannot go on.

Iraq is really short of money!

Thinking of this, Xie Kai suddenly became anxious.

After the war, to whom did they sell their weapons and equipment?

Back then, domestically produced equipment was sold during the Iran-Iraq War. Later, the international arms market had nothing to do with China.

In particular, the U.S. imperialism destroyed too many Chinese-made tanks during the Gulf War, which even damaged the reputation of Chinese munitions.

Absolutely not, we must make a fortune from the Iraqis before the end of the war!
