Chapter 216 69 Tanks

Zhang Feng's mouth suddenly opened very loudly. Dad, can we buy this kind of tank as a target?

Zhang Feng, later generations, knew very well that in the Iraq-Iraq War, both sides were equipped with a certain amount of Chinese weapons. At the beginning, they could pick up and pick up and choose the right weapons they needed. However, after fighting, they would need whatever they needed. Give deposits first, owe them first, and use oil to mortgage them. They came up with all kinds of methods.

Tanks, aircraft, missiles, and for war, Iran and Iraq have imported a large number of weapons from China at the same time. Among them, the J-7 fighter jets and silkworm missiles are relatively representative.

Although the J-7 is an improved MiG-21, its performance has improved greatly compared with the MiG-21. Chinese designers have fully utilized their own talent. In later generations, the close-range fighting performance of the J-7e with double-triangle wings has changed greatly. Even if it faces the Tomcat, it has a certain chance to escape and even shoot down the opponent.

The J-7 purchased by Iraq even added French air-to-air missiles to further improve their capabilities.

The silkworm missile also showed its majesty in the later battle between the two countries and the boats that were exhausted and fished.

Zhang Feng's strategy also includes many projects imported from China. He came from later generations and naturally knew that China had many good treasures, but it definitely did not include such tanks that were only comparable to the Soviet T-55.

The Type 69 tank is a medium-sized tank that China has improved its design on the basis of the Type 59 tank. It issued combat technical indicators in 1963, completed the design in 1964, produced a prototype in 1965, and finalized in 1974.

The tank is equipped with a 100mm smoothbore gun, a 580-horsepower engine, a two-way stabilizer and an infrared night vision night vision device. The tank has improved its firepower, maneuverability and night combat performance compared to the Type 59 tank, especially with a two-way stabilizer, which gives Chinese tanks the ability to shoot in motion for the first time.

To be honest, this kind of thing is really not a good thing. The 100mm smoothbore gun was developed by China itself. China still needs to take many ways to take such tank guns that require advanced smelting technology. In the improvement of the 69 tank, China later used rifled guns imported from Europe to replace the smoothbore guns they made.

However, this tank still has its advantages. It inherits the characteristics of the Chinese-made industry, with thick skin and thick flesh, and has a good adaptability to the terrain of the Middle East with more sand and dust. For example, although the engine is not strong enough and consumes a lot of fuel, it can still run in the desert without changing the air filter. If it is the chief, it will definitely have to overhaul the engine. Because the Chinese-made one is not very precise, unlike French goods, it is also because of the trouble of maintaining the phantom.

Especially in the 1980s, China's strategy was mainly based on the economic development, and the military equipment had to give way to economic construction. Therefore, a large number of national defense projects were dismissed and various military factories were not having a good time.

Factory 617 was responsible for the manufacturing of the Type 69 tank. This new tank was developed and only 200,000 yuan was invested in RMB per vehicle, but the army could not afford it, and there was not even a symbolic order. Later, the improved 69-2 tank was exported to Yipeng and earned a lot of foreign exchange.

From the perspective of his previous life, Zhang Feng really wanted to establish good relations with his motherland. Many of the future projects have the intention of developing with his motherland. For example, the Yun-Ten he never forgets, and if Iraq wants to have a strong national defense, large aircraft are indispensable.

However, it does not mean that he wants everything. Needless to say, the Type 98 main battle tank, even the 88c tank, he was satisfied. However, this Type 69 is useless!

What do we use? Do we use Iran as a target? Especially when facing a more powerful threat in the future, Type 69 will be immediately penetrated into the turtle shell.

Seeing Saddam's happy look, Zhang Feng really didn't know how to tell him.

"Father, when did we import tanks with China? Why don't I know?"

"When it comes to this, it's your credit. When you were in France, you talked with the Chinese ambassador to France about introducing Chinese missiles? Some time ago, the Chinese ambassador to Baghdad came to see me. We had a very pleasant chat. Then, I sent a delegation to China and watched this kind of tank shooting. Two of the three guns hit the target. So, I signed an order, which was very cheap. The first batch will be transferred to Jordan immediately."

How did the missiles be introduced become tanks? Zhang Feng was very impressed, thinking of the sketch of Uncle Zhao in later generations. Two shots hit the three guns, was it a fixed target or a mobile target?

Unexpectedly, the delegation was taken down so easily. Although the price was low, its performance... "Then are we introducing missiles?" Zhang Feng asked.

"We are also negotiating and preparing to introduce silkworm missiles. The c801 you mentioned is too powerful. We have a new type of power, including the Chinese-made H-6 bomber. We can introduce it together to cruise the Persian Gulf." Saddam said.

Zhang Feng shouted in his heart, no, absolutely no, why did it become like this? This stupid daddy!

Although this kind of missile has a large power and a long range, it is a liquid engine with a huge size, a cruise height of 300 meters, and is not very maneuverable. It is easy to be shot down by the opponent's air defense missile. The electronic equipment is backward and it is more likely to be disturbed. It is not an ideal choice at all. The C801 of the solid engine is ideal. In the future, if a small turbojet engine is replaced, the range will be greatly improved.

Moreover, based on the c801, the transformation of ground-to-ground cruise missiles was the direction of Zhang Feng in the future, which was also the reason why Zhang Feng wanted to introduce the c801 production line. In later generations, in addition to ballistic missiles, cruise missiles were also a powerful killer.

And that huge silkworm baby has no room for improvement at all. Could it be stand up as a ballistic missile?

Let’s talk to my father about the tank first!

"Father, although this Chinese-made Type 69 tank is cheap, we can't use it to compete with the Iranian chief tanks. They can destroy us at a distance of 1,500 meters, and we can only fire within 800 meters. The performance of this tank may be below t-62." Zhang Feng said.

"I also know that the performance is much worse than the T-72. These inspection teams said that they cannot be compared with the T-62. However, this kind of tank is cheaper. The unit price of a T-72 is $1.5 million, and a T-62 is $700,000. We can equip more quantities. I don't believe that four 69 tanks can't beat a chieftain tank?"

Zhang Feng disagreed with it. The quantity advantage is not enough to offset the quality advantage. Ten years later, the US military defeated the Iraqi army almost unscathed. This is enough to show that even the T-72 tank that Saddam is proud of now has no chance at all.

My father was stubborn and Zhang Feng was not inconvenient to pour cold water on him. He quickly thought in his mind to see how to adapt.

Although the chassis part of the Type 69 tank is not advanced, the key is that it is strong and durable. Unlike excellent British and American goods, it will fall into a trap if there is a little sand. The key problem is that the fire control system and main gun are not powerful. So, if you change it, install the tank gun from Germany Rheinmetallurgy, and then improve the fire control system, it is still possible to confront Iran.

My father cannot disobey the orders. Since all the imports have been imported, then after equiping yourself and modifying them, my father will not have any problems, right?

It has a 120mm caliber smoothbore gun, which feels like a small horse pulling a big cart, and it is light and light. However, the L7a3 type 105mm rifled tank gun of Leopard 1 tank is a good choice. It is not improved to the Type 79 tank in China? It uses a 105mm rifled gun with thermal sheath imported from the UK, and is equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing and explosion suppression system, a periscope micro-perturbation simple fire control system, a second-generation low-light night vision night vision device, a VRC-8000 radio and a VAC-1 type in-car telephone. The performance and structure of the chassis part are comparable to that of the 69-2 main battle tank.

Moreover, after introducing 105mm rifled guns, the T-62 tanks equipped by the troops can also be improved.

Although Zhang Feng had already had the idea of ​​Iraq's future main battle tank in his mind, a 120mm smoothbore gun, a 1200-horsepower engine, an advanced fire control system, and a full combat weight of less than 50 tons, now, it is still a moon in the water, so improving the existing tank is also a good choice.

"Okay, father, let this batch of tanks be equipped with our Southern Military Region, but I want to improve it a little." Zhang Feng said.

"improve?"

"Use German artillery to modify it, the cost will not exceed 50,000 US dollars, but the effect is definitely much better." Zhang Feng said.

"Fifty thousand dollars?" Saddam was a little surprised. One gun barrel was 50,000 dollars, and four gun barrels could buy another tank. However, he could not completely refute Kusai's face and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, but it must be controlled within 50,000 dollars." In fact, Zhang Feng meant to pay for the modification himself. Since my father took it over, that would be even better.

The tank matter was decided, but the anti-ship missile matter had to be stopped.

"Father, I have negotiated with France Aerospace to buy the other party's flying fish missile, and in actual combat, it has performed a good effect. I lost the largest warship in Iran and could also use our existing Phantom F1 fighter jets, so there is no need to buy China's H-6." Zhang Feng said: "We don't have too much need for this silkworm anti-ship missile yet."

Saddam nodded. The battle had been reported and he had heard of it, so there was no need to introduce it repeatedly.

After the negotiations were made, Saddam suddenly remembered some things and said, "Arafat will come to Baghdad after two o'clock. You can go to the airport to greet me."

Arafat Zhang Feng remembered the old man wearing a scarf on the TV and running around, and said, "Okay."
