Chapter 1232: Really

As soon as this timetable was said, a sigh suddenly sounded in the conference room, and Mubarak asked solemnly: "Erik, 4-5 years, I’m afraid we can’t wait that long, as you know, we Our opponents have been equipped with T72s, and in the next 2-3 years, the number may reach more than 1,000. This is too much of a threat to us."
Tan Zhenhua smiled and shook his head and said: "Mr. Brigadier General, we are very aware of the difficulties you are facing. Therefore, we have given a practical solution. The "Storm 2" with the mature 12150ZL engine has lost a little bit. Power, but the gap is not too big, at least much stronger than the M60, not much behind the T72 in terms of mobility, and the failure rate of this engine is much lower than that of the 8V165. Its prototype 12150L is in your Batie’s. There are a large number of equipment on the 59" and "69II" types. You can maintain and maintain the existing support system almost without doing too many upgrades. Whether it is in terms of purchase cost, use cost, and readiness rate, it is A suitable choice, of course, we share your concerns. Well, in fact, they are our concerns, so we have follow-up solutions for you."
"Follow-up solution? Against T72?"
"Of course, but Mr. Brigadier General, I can talk about this later, please allow me to leave a suspense. Now, can I finish the current topic first?"
Musharraf nodded in approval.
After watching him sit down again, Tan Zhenhua cleared his throat and continued: "According to what I have reported just now, the power-to-weight ratio of the T72 tank is slightly ahead of NATO's second-generation tank, and far behind the Western typical. The third-generation tanks, such as Leopard II or Abrams. These typical Western third-generation tanks are equipped with 1500 horsepower engines. Although the gross tonnage has increased, the power-to-weight ratio has been further improved. , Basically reached or close to the level of 20 kW/ton, and with the increase in combat weight, it is obvious that its armor protection capabilities have been greatly enhanced, coupled with the general application of composite armor, we believe that the T72 tank is in Facing the third generation of Western tanks, it is obviously at a disadvantage. Personally, I even doubt whether the combination of 2A46 and 3БМ42 can penetrate the frontal armor of Leopard II or Abrams. But one thing I’m sure of is that when I said that the 120mm main guns of these two NATO’s typical third-generation tanks are equipped with their alloy-made tails to stabilize armor-piercing shells, they can reach a distance of 2000 meters. Easily penetrate the front protection of T72."
"Eric, please wait a minute." Musharraf couldn't help standing up again and said: "According to our intelligence and what the Soviet Union publicly declared, the T72 is also equipped with composite armor. This is the same as what you just said. Serious discrepancies."
"That may be your intelligence error, maybe the Soviet Russians are bragging, um, of course I think the most likely thing is that these T72s in my hand are specially matched by the Soviets to export cheating money" "Monkey version"," Tan Zhenhua shrugged his shoulders: "To be honest, I have never believed in their public information. For example, the "Double Three" fighter MiG 25 that once made Americans fearful. It’s amazing, in fact, what is that thing, I think even if you are an army, you should have heard of it?"
"I heard that it was a man with a stainless steel rocket." The loyal Mahmoud promptly praised Tan Zhenhua, causing a lot of laughter in the house.
Musharraf did not follow with a smile, but said very seriously: "Eric, this is a very important performance index. I hope to get your positive answer."
Tan Zhenhua nodded and said: "Very well, Mr. Brigadier General, I very much appreciate and agree with your serious attitude. Here, I will answer your question solemnly. I can say responsibly that the T72 tank I have , There is no composite armor installed on the front, all three vehicles are like this, all of them are 200 mm thick homogeneous steel plates, so I seriously suspect that the Indians are also getting this kind of goods. After all, we all know that the third brother is only They are the biggest victims in the world, and the Soviet Russians have no reason not to slaughter them severely."
"Hahahahaha" Tan Zhenhua sternly stated the reason for this nonsensical extreme. After reaping a room full of laughter, he got the unanimous approval of all the Pakistani army officers-after all, this is a well-known fact. Moreover, listening to a Chinese person commenting on his country's old enemy like this, these predators felt extremely comfortable in their hearts.
This time even Musharraf didn’t get stunned. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn’t speak any more, and sat back to his original position. It’s not that he felt that Tan Zhenhua’s unreasonable reason had convinced him, but that he believed that China was certain of his opponent The armor situation of the T72 has been carefully studied. After all, this type of tank is not only the most important opponent of Pakistan Railways, but the same threat that China faces may be even greater.
"To be honest, we didn't believe it at first." Tan Zhenhua explained with a smile: "We didn't confirm the situation until we took apart the three T72s on our hands for inspection. To be honest, we were very disappointed at the time. Still thinking about stealing their composite armor technology from the Soviet Russians. It seems that there is little hope in a short period of time."
Tan Zhenhua’s ridicule and sarcasm once again caused a chuckle in the house, and then he sternly said:
However, we should also see that after the Soviet Russians used 200 mm thick homogeneous steel plates and installed them at an angle, they still We have obtained considerable protection capabilities, which brings us certain challenges. We do not have the 120mm tank guns that NATO has begun to equip. I believe that it will be difficult for you to obtain Pakistani iron in a short period of time. In fact, we can There is only one type of tank gun—the L7 originally produced in Britain. Well, of course, you have two choices in this regard. One is to use the metric production model on the M60 provided to you by the United States, and the other It is our China version of the "83 Modification". What we need to know now is, can our guns pose a threat to the T72's armor?"
His words have been approved by everyone. Indeed, whether it is M60 or "Storm 2", the tank guns equipped on it are actually the same. They are all models of British L7 produced in different countries, but the basic materials of the Americans. Developed, so the things made are authentic, while Huaxia is slightly inferior, so we can only achieve similar performance by lengthening the barrel of the artillery, but no matter what, we need to face the same problem in the end-this gun, Can it threaten the T72's armor?
"All the theoretical data are on paper after all. Whether the actual situation is like this needs to be verified by experiments." Tan Zhenhua's smile was a little unpredictable: "So gentlemen, I will bring you today's number one. A wonderful program-actual target shooting, we have T72, we also have "83 change", let's try it out!"
"Wow, it's real!"
