Chapter 1229: Fuck him

Seven days later, the people who had been busy around the three T72 tanks for a whole week finally got time to gather for a summary meeting. Of course, Tan Zhenhua was invited to participate. After all, he was the nominal owner of the three tanks.
"Comrades, after these days of preliminary research, we can draw some basic conclusions about the performance of the T-72 tank." Zhu Yusen's face flashed red, his expression was slightly exhausted but excited, he waved One-armed said: "This time we have gained a lot. It is very big. Here, I think everyone should first thank Mr. Tan Zhenhua who helped us get these three tanks. Come, everyone, applaud!"
This time, the applause was warm and lasting. Tan Zhenhua felt everyone’s heartfelt emotions. He quickly stood up and talked about it. At this time, even though his heart was not good, he still had to make a "this" It’s what I should do.

After the applause paused, Zhu Yusen continued: "Next, let the person in charge of each sub-system analyze this type of tank briefly. If you have any findings and questions, please feel free to add, um, let me give a head and talk about this type. Tank armor and artillery."
"Let’s talk about this gun first. From the nameplate, we know that the model of this gun is 2A46, with a caliber of 125 mm, a smooth bore, and a double diameter of 48. It consists of barrel, tail, cradle, retreating machine, and recoil. It is composed of parts such as machine, heat jacket and smoke extraction device. The pitch angle of the artillery relative to the turret is -4.5°～+14.5°. Since the turret seat is tilted forward by 1.5°, the actual pitch angle of the artillery is -6 forward. °～+13°, the actual pitch angle of the gun is -3°～+16° when the gun is backward. The heat jacket is made of light alloy sheet, with a total of 4 sections. The air extraction device is located in the middle of the barrel towards the muzzle position.
We also got three types of ammunition with the tank prototype. According to the nameplate, the models are 3БМ42 tungsten alloy tail stabilized armor-piercing projectile, ЗБК14М tail stabilized armor-piercing projectile, and ОФ19 tail stabilized grenade, all of which are divided ammunition.
We tested these three types of ammunition. The effective range of 3БМ42 was 2500 meters, the penetration depth at 2000 meters was 420 mm, and the penetration depth at 1500 meters was 500 mm. From this, we know that it can easily penetrate the Type 59 first. The upper armor poses a certain threat to the first armor of "Storm 2" at a combat distance of less than 1500 meters.
The maximum direct firing range of the ЗБК14М armor-piercing projectile is 4000 meters, and the thickness of the armor-piercing projectile is 475 mm at a distance of 1000 meters. We believe that it cannot pose a threat to mainstream second-generation tanks. Its main combat target should be medium-sized and below armored vehicles.
The ОФ19 tail stabilized grenade has a maximum effective range of 9400 meters. This will not be discussed for the time being.
Judging from the prototype vehicle obtained, the Soviet Russians installed a TKH-3 binocular day and night sight with infrared searchlight and laser rangefinder on the commander’s position; the gunner’s position is equipped with a ТПД-2 type The image-type optical rangefinder has a baseline length of 1.5 meters, a magnification of 8×, and a range of 1000 to 4000 meters. The artillery is equipped with a bistable system, but the actual test results show that this system does not support the shooting of the tank on the move , The captain does not have the authority to control the artillery when necessary. This is inconsistent with the information we have obtained from the public information. It is temporarily uncertain whether this is caused by the export configuration.
On this T72, a new set of automatic loading machine is installed, which consists of a rotary transporter, chain hoist, chain pusher, artillery locker, automatic shell ejector, control box and The console and other components are composed. The shells in the rotary ammunition transporter are respectively stored in the lower and upper layers of the ammunition transporter according to the projectiles and charges. The driving motor transfers the required ammunition to the lifting position of the hoist, and the hoist lifts the projectiles and charges in the magazine To the position directly behind the artillery, the pusher pushes the projectiles and charges into the chamber respectively, the memory box stores the stored ammunition, and an automatic shell ejector can automatically eject the bottom shell of the non-combustible short cylindrical metal cartridge Out of the turret.
With the support of this system, the gun can fire at a rate of 8 rounds per minute, and after testing, the system has a low failure rate and can meet actual combat needs. In addition, when the automatic loader fails, it can also be semi-automatic. The method of loading, the process includes manual selection, manual lifting and manual pushing into the chamber; the existence of the automatic loading machine reduces the number of crews of this type of tank from 4 to 3.
As far as I feel, this gun is quite good, especially this set of automatic loading system is one of the most worthy of learning and imitating from the T72 subsystem, ah, the other is its gearbox, this topic is waiting Let Zhang Baozhong speak.
After talking about this gun, let me talk about armor.
To be honest, I was surprised because none of the three T72s we got were equipped with the so-called "composite armor" claimed by the Soviets. The turret was still a traditional Soviet-Russian cast half-egg turret, made of homogeneous cast steel. The upper and lower armors are only rolled steel plates, with a thickness of 200 mm and a 22-degree inclination installation method. If calculated according to the geometry, the equivalent normal thickness does not exceed 300 mm. To be honest, I doubt it Its protective effect. In addition, there is no special protective armor installed in the position of the bullet tray of the loader where the shells are stored. If it is shot here in actual combat, it is likely to cause martyrdom, which is what we commonly call "flying". Turret", is this also because we got the export version? It’s hard to imagine that the model used by the Soviet Russians is also this kind of armor. If this is the case, then the combination of the NATO 105mm caliber L7 gun and the M735 de-penetrating shell is simply a gift? Not to mention the 120mm tank main gun that NATO is upgrading. "
Zhu Yusen paused when he said that, picking up the teacup on the table, Xiao Mi moisturized her throat, and during this period, there was a "buzzing" voice in the conference room of Novosibirsk University.
Tan Zhenhua knows that what everyone talks about the most is the false so-called "composite armor" on the T72 prototype, because according to actual measurements, this "composite armor" does not exist at all!
Combining his own personal experience in the previous life and hearsay on the Internet, Tan Zhenhua is particularly clear about Lao Maozi's two urinary properties. The first is that he loves to brag. It is common for performance data to be mixed with water, and vodka is the daily operation; The second is that the exported "monkey version" is a real "monkey", and it can't be called a "beggar version".
Thinking of this, Tan Zhenhua couldn’t help standing up and saying,
Master Zhu, experts, I have an opinion. Look, the three prototype cars we got are all like this, and these three cars have been delivered since they arrived. Judging from the time and the process of obtaining it, it can be basically judged that it should not have been specially produced by the Soviets in order to deceive us."
Most of the people present have participated in the last meeting held at the Ministry of Weaponry Industry of Beijing. Knowing what happened to these three T72s, they couldn’t help but chuckle. Tan Zhenhua went on to say:
In this case, we can Suppose that the current state is the technical state of the Soviet-Russian export-type T72. Therefore, we can also get an inference that there is a great probability that the T72 in the hands of the Indians will also be of this kind."
Many people nodded secretly.
Tan Zhenhua continued:
In this case, let’s not worry about the situation of the Soviet Russians for their own use. Let’s see if we can deal with this kind of stuff. We can also deal with it. A side argument to prove that our tank’s firepower strike capability is right? If it can be done, wouldn’t it also reassure the Pakistani side?

His words won everyone’s approval. Zhu Yusen thought for a while and asked:
From a numerical point of view, our
83 Modification
should be able to penetrate the first armor of the T72 prototype at a distance of 2,000 meters. It is the "Type 83". When the combat distance is within 1500 meters, there is a high probability that this can be achieved, but this is only theoretical. What is the actual effect, then..."
"That's not easy." Tan Zhenhua said with a grin: "If you pull it out and do it, don't you know it?"
