Chapter 221: The arrival of 69 tanks
Zhang Feng was very happy to learn that the F-20 had its first flight. The technical risks were not very high at all. Moreover, with the stimulation of orders, the test flight would definitely end in a very short time. I remember that the later Flying Leopard and J-10 had completed the test flight finalization in at least a few years. This is because many of them were blank. However, this mature fighter of the United States would probably be pre-produced for itself in just a few months.
As for the production line, needless to say, Northrop will definitely improve an existing F-5 production line to provide it to itself, but this has already satisfied him. This existing production line is probably much more precise than that of France and the Soviet Union.
After the mission in Baghdad was over, Zhang Feng returned to the Southern Military Region and at the same time, he also received the first batch of tanks transported by special railway trains, China's Type 69.
When I first saw this kind of tank, the most awesome armored Ali, with a big belly, popped up the word in his mouth: "I don't want this kind of rag!"
He thought it was the Soviet T-62, but after closer inspection, it was a little different.
The position of the cannon barrel smoking is different, and the position of the infrared headlight is also not correct.
Is it an improved type?
Several tank soldiers had already climbed up and had to drive the tank down.
A tank soldier opened the hatch and climbed into the cockpit, and saw the square words marked on it: "This is made in China!"
Iraqi soldiers are not unfamiliar with Chinese weapons. The Type 63 armored vehicles with a large number of equipment come from that country in the East.
And weapons made in China have a big feature, which is durable!
I originally wanted to build a bridge beside the railway to let the tanks drive down, but now I see that it is a Chinese tank, the armored soldiers immediately became interested.
"Boom, boom!" The tank was launched, the armored soldiers hit the accelerator a few times, then put on the tank cap and tied the seat belt.
Tanks are used to charge and actually drive, they are definitely as irritable as thunder, and now, the same is true.
Armored soldiers are ready, take a deep breath, hang up the gears, and pull the rod!
The rails made a sound of friction with the wheels, making them creaking and itchy in their teeth.
Damn, these guys, do you want to do it?
Ali saw that the left track of the tank had turned over, half of the track had been suspended, and the flat-panel train was about to be overturned.
Just like this small place, the tank was actually turning, turning the body that was originally parallel to the special train three times and became perpendicular to the body.
During the rotation, sometimes half of the tank's body had already been stumbled outside, and it seemed that it was shaking, and the driver inside was still whistling as if nothing had happened.
Then, I saw the huge tank track moving, and half of the entire body drove vertically outside the special train.
At this time, the body of this special train has been deflected, and half of the wheels behind have left the rails. If it weren't for the front and rear special trains, this special train would have been overturned.
The driver slammed the accelerator, stepped on the brakes, slammed the accelerator, stepped on the brakes, and the tank's body became more and more hanging.
Finally, he stepped on the brakes and felt the car body slowly crawling forward.
"Boom!" Finally, the track in front hit the ground.
The dust that flew into dust all around it.
It's cool, so cool!
He then stepped on the accelerator and followed the train.
At this time, the special train that was pried up finally fell behind and the wheels fell back on the rails again.
The smoke and dust dissipated, and the armored soldiers suddenly buzzed, "Oh, when they came down just now, I forgot the most important thing: turn the turret back!"
During transportation, the barrels were at the lowest firing angle. The angle just now came down was too large. As a result, the barrel hit the ground. Fortunately, the barrel was still strong compared to the barrel.
Bastard! At this moment, Zhang Feng's car arrived at the scene. Through the dust, Zhang Feng had already seen the reckless guy treating imported weapons like this?
If there was a horse under his crotch, Zhang Feng really wanted to pick up the whip and suck him.
Oh no! Kusa saw General Kusa walking in the distance at a glance. This time he was having a big time!
Kusa's injuries were well recovered. He was idle and received an order from the division commander to follow Commander Ali to receive the tanks.
Who knew that when he was performing his specialty skills and got off the train without a guide bridge, he was discovered by Zhang Feng.
"You, come down here!" Zhang Feng shouted. He thought he was a frivolous tank soldier!
After seeing again, I took off my tank cap. It was the combat hero that had been a while ago!
"Kusa, tell me why did that just now?" Zhang Feng asked with a dark face. If it weren't for this lone hero who had been defeated by the Iranian soldiers who were sneak attacked by the General of the Port of Abadan, Zhang Feng would have wished he could have ordered and pulled him out to die.
"If we need to quickly underground trains during wars, my method of getting off the ground can save time, and it is very necessary for a tense battle." Kusa suddenly thought of this remark.
Zhang Feng nodded: "However, it is only available during wartime!"
Zhang Feng was not in the mood to take care of these frivolous guys anymore. In fact, it was also the ones who were in the army and those who could fight. Who is not a veteran? Even Zhang Feng himself has many exciting things that he feels very proud of.
His attention was shifted to these tanks, which was very similar to the Type 59 tank, except that the smoking device of the gun barrel was moved backward. Compared with domestic tanks, the side skirting board was installed, which looked relatively neat.
However, when Zhang Feng felt a chill when he saw the canvas cover made of canvas at the bottom of the cannon and the turret.
"Mr. Yu'anli, the tanks we imported need to be replaced with your company's gun barrels to exert greater power." Zhang Feng and the surroundings said.
The translation immediately translated the sentence.
At this time, the other people noticed that the few people who followed him, there was a European person with pointed nose and blue eyes!
Zhang Feng did not go there in person, but sent Tarik to Germany. After negotiations, he agreed with Rheinmetallurgical Company to import 300 l7a3 105mm rifled tank barrels. Since Leopard 2 had already started production at this time and the 120mm caliber tank gun had been developed successfully. Therefore, this 105mm caliber tank gun is not a secret and is just for export and sale.
The living environment of tank guns is much worse than that of ordinary howitzers. Because of the extremely high chamber pressure, the life of the tank gun's body tube is very short, and firing hundreds of shells is the limit. Therefore, the smelting of metal materials is the key. If you sell it to Iraq's finished tank gun barrels, you don't have to worry about Iraq's imitation. The basic industry is not up to standard, and these problems are not problems.
Also introduced were Krupp Atlas Electronics' flp-10/emes18 fire control system, which uses a Fler-HG hybrid ballistic computer and a thermal imaging system with low visibility or night conditions. Compared with the original infrared headlights, it has made great progress.
However, after such a set, German investment actually offered a price of 100,000 US dollars, twice as much as expected, but Zhang Feng still agreed.
With these, even the Type 69 tanks with insufficient performance and the T-62 tanks equipped by themselves can be modified according to this plan, and they can fully compete with the Chief and T-72, especially the infrared imaging system. In the future, in the night battle, those tanks with infrared headlights will be targets to be fired.
These things are coordinated by Klaus-Mafi, which produces Leopard tanks, and Eunley is an engineer in the ordnance branch of Klaus.
Although the price is a bit ruthless, the principle of German business is always very meticulous, precise and meticulous.
Since I have never been exposed to this Type 69 tank, Yu'anli did not say directly, don't worry, our white cannon can be installed on this tank!
Yu'anli approached the tank. This tank came from the country in the East. So far, almost all the people remembered that it was still a poor and backward country. What kind of tank could such a country produce?
Just now, he saw black smoke coming out of the tank engine, which was caused by incomplete combustion. The German-made engines will pay great attention to avoiding this phenomenon, and the hydraulic transmission device will also try to avoid engine overload.
However, the tank came down from the train like that. Under the violent impact, the body of the car was still the same as before, proving that this tank had the genes of the red empire in the north and was strong and resistant to fabrication. Although the load-bearing wheel was not hydraulic shock absorption, it could still withstand the torture in one day.
Seeing the canvas at the bottom of the tank gun, Yu'anli also wanted to laugh. It was such a bad design. Is the designer a woman who wants to cover her shame?
"Can I tear this canvas apart and I'll take a look at the structure inside?" Yu'anli asked.
"Kusa, cut it with a knife." Zhang Feng said.
The canvas was cut and exposed the structure inside. As expected, it was also coated with butter for lubrication on the upper and lower sides. However, even if it was resistant to high temperatures, it would probably melt when it was emitted.
Yu'anli drilled into the turret and looked at the internal bulge again. Yu'anli nodded. It was not a problem, it could be solved completely!
"Dear Mr. Kusai, we can install it when our company's gun barrel and fire control system arrive." Yu'anli said.
The translator passed the words to Zhang Feng, and Zhang Feng felt relieved. Although he knew that the 69 tank had been improved many times, he still had no idea whether the competition could install the gun barrels he imported. Only when the expert said it could confirm it.
From then on, the tank overhaul plant located on the east side of Abadan began to become busy. Under the guidance of German experts, the gun barrel and fire control system imported from Germany were installed on the 69 tank.
