Super Weapon Exchange System

Another shortcoming? Qin Guan listened attentively, and at the same time he was still thinking about what shortcomings could there be? Seems to be filled up by yourself, right?

General Huang is the commander of the armored forces. He said that it must have something to do with the armored forces. The main battle tanks of the armored forces and the accompanying artillery support of the armored forces have been engaged in all the time. Is it all up?

and many more!

Qin Guan thought of something, and immediately blurted out: "Are you talking about a crawler infantry fighting vehicle?"

Hearing Qin Guan's words, Commander Huang nodded: "Yes, President Qin, it seems that you already knew it?"

Now, driven by Qin Guan, the 8*8 wheeled infantry fighting vehicle has continuously entered the army and has become an important equipment for the mechanization of the infantry. However, the wheeled infantry fighting vehicle is not omnipotent.

In later generations, there is a theory that wheeled infantry fighting vehicles are an effective plan to replace tracked infantry fighting vehicles. Among them, the Eagles were the first to try.

During the war with the date palm country in the early 1990s, they spent a full six months mobilizing heavy equipment divisions. This has caused the Eagles to complain all the time. During the reform, they began to focus on building a light army to improve Deployment mobility. In order to achieve the 96-hour global reach of the army brigade, they chose the "Strike" 8×8 wheeled armored vehicle system.

This kind of vehicle is the same as the advanced wheeled infantry fighting vehicle produced by Han Guo. The weight of 20 tons can be quickly deployed through C130, and it has good chassis versatility. A total of 10 models have been derived, almost the main force of the Army, achieving their goal of rapid deployment. The Eagles built 77 wheeled brigades all at once and carried out radical reforms.

The results of it? The Stryker Brigade, composed of wheeled armored vehicles, was labelled as the failure of the Eagle Nation Army's transformation following the Rumsfeld reforms, and was considered to be the culprit for their decline in conventional combat power.

This kind of infantry fighting vehicle seems to be light enough, but it has insufficient protection and cannot fight regular wars. In front of enemy tanks, it has thin skin and stuffing, and it has no resistance at all, and it fights peacekeeping wars like bandits. No way, the RPG owned by the opponent can easily destroy their tanks. In this way, their weapons have become nondescript, and they can't do anything!

The wheeled infantry fighting vehicle runs fast on the road, and the tank can’t keep up. The road speed of the tank is not high. Moreover, on the road, the tank is usually trailer, but when it comes to the field, in terms of maneuverability, wheeled Infantry fighting vehicles have always been inadequate.

It has been said that the wheeled infantry fighting vehicle is a simple way to mechanize the troops, but this thing cannot be used as an accompanying weapon for the main battle force, or it is not the best solution!

It also depends on the tracked infantry fighting vehicle, only it is the best equipment to accompany the infantry forward.

In the past, it used its own automobile industry to quickly mechanize the army, and it was still beneficial in some aspects. For example, when patrolling the grasslands, the wheeled infantry fighting vehicle was completed quite beautifully.

However, in the case of real group operations, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles will always have some defects.

Qin Guan knew that this was his own omission.

At the same time, in the past, the army did not propose it. It was because of the huge and bloated army. It was good to just maintain normal operations. Even advanced tanks could not be equipped on a large scale. The main thing was to improve the 59 tanks to achieve the increase in capacity. , And now, with the one million disarmament, the Army finally has enough funds to carry out the replacement. They reviewed their own equipment and found that there is still such a deficiency.

In fact, there are tracked armored vehicles in China. This is the Type 63 armored vehicle. This type of vehicle has been produced in the 1960s and continues to be produced until now. It is the only tracked armored vehicle in China. Transport vehicle.

That’s right, it’s not called an infantry fighting vehicle, but an armored transport vehicle. It can only transport personnel and cannot accompany the tank unit into combat. Look at its four road wheels and its short body. Performance is not good.

Of course, the country is aware of this problem. Therefore, domestic military personnel are also conducting continuous research and development. In the 1980s, they came up with Type 89 armored transport vehicles. If you look at the appearance, they are similar to Xiong’s BMP. The infantry fighting vehicle is somewhat similar, the body is enlarged, and the space for the internal personnel has become more spacious, but it still has not solved a basic defect, that is, thin skin!

Now, after hearing General Huang's words, Qin Guan frowned. Yes, he hadn't thought about it before. Now that he has participated in this meeting, he has to give everyone an idea.

"We can look at the outside world. If the armored unit is definitely the first in the bear country, let's just make a few BMP infantry fighting vehicles of the bear country. How about a surveying and mapping copy?" Someone below said: "This is how it came out. It must be the most advanced."

The most accustomed to domestic is surveying and mapping imitation, and now with the progress of national industry, surveying and mapping imitation is getting easier and easier. Isn't it the best to survey and map their advanced armored vehicles and then imitate them?

Qin Guan shook his head: "Not good!"

Qin Guan clearly expressed his attitude, not good!

The latest of Xiong Guo is the BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle. The total weight of this vehicle is only about 14 tons. What can it do with such a weight?

"President Qin, what do you think?" General Huang asked.

"Although it is called an infantry fighting vehicle, the situation faced by infantrymen on the battlefield is very severe. Their armor protection must be as thick as tanks so that they can withstand the threat." Qin Guan said: "Only such infantrymen. Chariots are necessary, otherwise, what is the difference with our wheeled infantry fighting vehicles?"

Wheeled, because the tire has a small contact area after all, it is impossible to maintain too much weight. In this case, its own weight will not be too high, which is more than ten tons, and the most dangerous is more than 20 tons. The armor can't be thick, and it won't work when facing threats.

Think about the next threat, patrolling the streets, and suddenly an RPG, or even a Hawk, this kind of infantry fighting vehicle was blown up all at once.

"As thick as a tank?" Someone's face was surprised: "Is that still an infantry fighting vehicle?"

"Of course, heavy infantry fighting vehicles." Qin Guan said: "Either you don't do it, or if you want to do it, you have to do this. Please trust my judgment."

The Eagle nation’s heads were broken and bloodshed, and the Xiong nation did the same. Look at the future generations of the Chariot War, the bear nation’s BMP infantry fighting vehicle.

Heavy duty is definitely an inevitable trend!
