Chapter 248: Turret Bra

Regarding the Leopard 2 tank, there are many military comments in later generations. The most criticized one is the protective ability of the Leopard 2. At this time, in the entire Western Europe, the most outstanding armor research was the United Kingdom, which invented the Chobham armor, and its protective ability was only Second to depleted uranium armor, the Leopard 2's bra also uses parallel-imported Chobham armor from the UK.

This is also a flaw of Leopard 2, but it is not necessarily a fatal flaw. It depends on the user's environment.

Pakistan wants to compete with India. In the southern region, the large desert areas are the ideal venue for armored forces. There, the 120mm artillery of the Leopard 2 tank can kill Indians at a distance of more than 1,500 meters. of T-55 tanks, while in In this case, the Indians can only stare blankly. Even if the T-72 tank is equipped with the Indian army, it is still useless in front of the firepower of the Leopard 2. Unless the T-72 uses artillery-launched missiles, other armor-piercing projectiles must Accuracy can only be guaranteed within one thousand meters.

With excellent maneuverability, the Leopard 2 tank can move quickly after the opponent fires a shell to avoid the opponent's attack. Even if it only moves half of the tank, the opponent's hit accuracy will be greatly reduced.

Other tanks of the same era, the M1's fuel-hungry gas turbine, the Challenger's lousy rifled gun, not to mention the French ones. The French are inherently unreliable. As for the cheap Soviet tanks, they are now at war with the Soviet Union. How could the Soviets export tanks to Pakistan.

In fact, Leopard 2 is not as vulnerable as those military fans say. Otherwise, it would not be compared with Leopard 2 and M1 every time a new tank comes out, because Leopard 2 is very balanced in all aspects. , and in the export market. As long as M1 encounters Leopard 2, it will definitely be defeated.

Therefore, Pakistan only has this kind of tank to choose from, and what Pakistan needs is how to maximize its interests.

The RD33 engine is one step, and this bra is the second step.

Many times, it's just a matter of ideas. As soon as Hamad mentioned this bra, the German engineer suddenly realized, yes, this should have been done a long time ago!

However, even if a bra is installed, if German armor technology is used, it is still not the best. By the way, the person in front of me just said that he wanted to add a bra to the Pakistani tank. Do they have new armor technology?

Thinking of this, a chief engineer is also the deputy general manager of the company. You Anli said: "What kind of bras are you going to add in your country?"

Cole didn't understand these terms, but it seemed that it was something that was very beneficial to him. Shouldn't a bra be the most fashionable thing in romantic France?

"In the past few years, we have jointly developed armor technology with Eastern countries, and we already have a composite armor that is ready for use." Mhammad said: "We plan to install our own armor on the front end of the turret after the introduction of Leopard 2. Composite armored bra to increase protection.”

Eastern countries! Of course, Mhammad knew that the Eastern countries' composite armor had been developed since the 1970s, and after more than ten years of development, it had formed its own characteristics. After all, the Eastern countries faced the huge polar bear armored forces in the north. A large-scale ground war will break out at any time, and their need for armored power is even more urgent.

Now, relying on the friendly relations between Pakistan and Eastern countries, it has obtained this composite armor technology. Not difficult, at the same time. By exchanging this armor technology, Pakistan has obtained high-power diesel engines, hydraulic transmissions, and advanced suspensions from Germany. Various technologies can benefit Pakistan and Eastern countries.

Needless to say, the chassis technology of the Type 96 and Type 99 tanks developed by Eastern countries in later generations still came from the T-72, and the engine was still the same 1,200-horsepower engine, resulting in insufficient maneuverability. It was not until the 99 modification that the tanks were replaced. A 1500 horsepower engine. The transmission system is still a mechanical and hydraulic manual gearbox, which cannot achieve a leap in maneuverability at all.

Technology exchange is mutual, even if it is just the exchange of chassis technology, it is completely worthwhile.

"What's the protection level of Naga's bra?" the other party continued to ask.

"500 millimeters of homogeneous armor." Mhamad said.

There's no tax on bragging, and since I didn't say anything about the thickness of the bra anyway, Mhamad just said it casually.

500mm homogeneous armor! Even the Chobham armor can now only achieve a homogeneous armor equivalent to 550 mm. Later, on the Challenger 2, it was increased to 750 mm of homogeneous armor. Now, this bra can increase 500 mm. The protection level of the homogeneous armor, coupled with the original defense capability of the turret, will greatly increase the protection level of the tank!

"It's a pity that you are unwilling to export the production line to us, so our cooperation will not be able to continue." Mhamad said. At this time, he had changed to the word cooperation. He had already seen the Germans' attitude toward The need for composite armor.

"I'm sorry, we need to discuss it," Lewitt said.

This is related to the vital interests of Krauss-Maffei Company, and they must study it before making a decision.

Watching these people leave, Mhammad drank coffee slowly and looked at the ceiling above his head.

There may be a German bug here, so the people traveling with him didn't say anything that shouldn't be said. However, from his eyes, Mhammad could also see the question, how to solve the problem of composite armor?

Hamad responded with a calm look, "Who cares, let's fool the Germans first!"

Soon, the Germans came back again, and Prime Minister Kohl said cordially: "After careful study, in order to help our Pakistani friends, we decided that we can export the production line of this tank. However, due to your country's limited industrial capacity, We will provide the complete engine, fire control, sighting system and gun barrel. You will be mainly responsible for the final assembly and the production of the car body. The steel required for the car body can be imported from us.”

After talking for a long time, I changed it back to an assembly plant! Pakistan just gets complete sets of steel, welds them, turns them into car bodies, and then installs various accessories made in Germany. Is it completely treating Pakistan like Asan?

"What we need is a production line and various supporting materials. We also need to be based on domestic production in Pakistan. You only provide us with a final assembly. I'm sorry. I am very sorry." Mhamad said.

The first day of negotiations ended in failure. The proud Germans were very reserved about technology and refused to sell it to Pakistan. Of course, this is understandable. After all, these are Germany's most advanced technologies.

The night sky in Munich was so bright, Lilith hugged Hamad's neck, and the moonlight shone on the two people.

"My dear, are you not unhappy?" Lilith asked Mhammad.

"Of course not." Mhamad said: "Tomorrow, we will end our visit in Germany and go to the next stop, Austria."

What Mhammad needs is to completely improve Pakistan's equipment level, base itself on the country, and introduce advanced technology, even military technology, which will eventually promote the development of domestic industry.

If we only introduce two hundred Leopard 2 tanks, it is still far from Mhamad's needs. Mhamad would rather let the Germans go.

Hamad has already had an alternative plan. If Leopard 2 cannot be introduced, then he will cooperate with Austria. For civilian use, he will introduce Austrian Steyr trucks. For military use, he will introduce Austria’s 155mm 45-caliber GC-45 artillery. Patented, 155mm artillery, which is the main long-range suppressive firepower of the army , this 45-fold caliber artillery is technologically advanced. The most important thing is its electroslag remelting steel technology. By introducing this technology, and uniting with Eastern countries, we can develop 120 mm artillery. Later Eastern countries , it was only after the introduction of electroslag remelting steel technology that the rapid development of tank guns was achieved.

We must stick to our principles! Pakistan is not financially wealthy. To buy such an advanced tank, it must obtain sufficient technology!

"As long as I can be with you, I can go anywhere." Lilith said, a pair of red lips came up to her, and Mhamad's hands were already involuntarily holding Lilith's sexy buttocks and tightening her tight Underneath her short skirt, she actually had nothing on.

It was an unforgettable night.

Krauss-Maffei Company is also experiencing the saddest night.

When it first cooperated with the United States on the MBT70 project, Krauss developed a lot of advanced technologies. After the project failed, these technologies did not fall into the hands of the Americans. But now, the Pakistanis are actually asking for the technology. This How could you agree?

However, if they do not agree, the armor technology that the company lacks most will not be able to obtain it.

"After our investigation, the United States confirmed that Eastern countries began to develop composite armor in the 1970s, and now, the results have been achieved." Even Prime Minister Cole still stayed in Krause Company. After all, This is related to the development of Germany's national defense strength. In addition to armor, there are also aircraft engines!

"At most, we will sell them the engine technology. The most advanced thing about our tanks is the fire control system. This is our secret. They must import our components for assembly." Finally, Leut made up his mind to change the same Same.

Even one engine is enough for the Pakistanis to digest and absorb. Now, in order to develop their ridiculous Arjun main battle tank, the Indians are using engines imported from Germany. When Germany handed over the spare parts of the 1,500-horsepower engine to the When it was assembled in India, the complete machine installed by the Indians could not even reach a thousand horsepower!
