Chapter 1470

"President Qin, this is our tank factory. Now, we are producing the most advanced main battle tank we have developed."

General Dennis took Qin Guan to the tank factory. He also came here for the first time in the past two years. As a general of the air force, he came to inspect the army factory. It is a special case, but the army of rainbow country has always been more cooperative, so it has not brought any twists and turns.

Qin Guan nodded and looked at Tariq, the person in charge of the factory, to introduce to you.

"Our tank was developed in 1976. During the development, we absorbed many advantages of the 100 person captain tank and made many significant improvements in artillery, engine, suspension device, fire control system and so on. We are called horn tank."

Horn is a free translation. The word of this name means "horn made of ivory". Therefore, many people also call it Ivory horn tank.

Compared with domestic tanks, this kind of tank is extraordinarily tall, which is simply going to an extreme.

You know, in order to improve the survivability on the battlefield, tanks in various countries are changing to low. The lower they are, the harder they will be found, especially when they climb behind the hillside and ambush.

However, the horn tank in front of us is more than three meters high!

This is a living target on the battlefield.

In fact, this is also determined by their environment.

The whole black state is quite backward. If a country has 20 t-55 tanks, it can be called a military power.

In the countries around rainbow country, although there are countries with tanks, it is difficult to pose an effective threat to the horn. Therefore, even if it is taller, it has nothing to fear.

After all, the main force around is the level of t-55. At most, it is a monkey version of t-62. There is no more advanced goods.

For rainbow country, their tank troops often have to carry out long-distance attacks. They consider the comfort of their members. Its prototype 100 person captain tank is a tall tank.

Now, it is tall and big, which can make the internal space very large and convenient for members to fight in it.

At the same time, it is completely developed for the use characteristics of the rainbow national army. You can see it more clearly by looking at the bathtub behind its tank turret.

There's a bathtub behind this thing's ass!

In the environment of heizhou, during the interval of battle, you are covered with mud. You can take a beautiful bath. It's the most enjoyable.

If there were four people in the narrow space of t55 tank, not to mention a week, even a day, the tank crew would be smelly.

Geographically, it is located in the subtropics and tropics. It is extremely hot in summer and sometimes very dry. The tank crew are bitten by mosquitoes in the field, covered with soil and mud, which is very uncomfortable. This "bathtub" is one of the most popular devices among the tank soldiers of rainbow country.

"The biggest disadvantage of this tank is the lack of power," Qin Guan said aside.

This kind of tank can rank 10th in the world tank ranking in that year. Of course, this is also the reason for the Western ranking, but it can not be said that this kind of tank is a tank with excellent performance, but it still has shortcomings.

The tall tank has a heavy weight of 56 tons, which is heavier than our latest type 80 tank. Although the previous 650 HP gasoline engine has been replaced by 750 HP diesel engine, the power is still seriously insufficient. Their opponents, tanks such as t-55, have better mobility than them.

They are also constantly improving the performance of this tank. The current tank is horn-1a. When they continue to develop horn-1b, they further use 950 HP diesel engine.

However, such a powerful diesel engine is only enough. When they developed horn-2 main battle tank, the power of the engine has been increased to 1250 horsepower. It can be seen that they do not want an advanced power system, but their own technology is limited, so they must constantly improve the performance of the engine, It is impossible to develop an advanced power system at once. For them, replacing a gasoline engine with a diesel engine is already a great progress.

"Yes, our tank engine, now only this 750 horsepower diesel engine is the most suitable," Tariq said to Qin Guan.

"If you have a demand, we can provide you with engines." Qin Guan said, "our domestic diesel engines have a series of products from 700 HP to 1500 HP. You can investigate and choose the most suitable power system."

After hearing Qin Guan's words, Tariq was immediately happy. Now, what they want most is to solve the problem of the power system first. If it can be increased to about 1000 horsepower, it would be the best!

"Mr. Qin, our tanks need to fight in a hot climate. Can your power system meet the needs of our region?" Tariq asked.

Not everything is OK. I'm afraid I have to lie down even if I get the leopard-2 tank. It's too hot here. The temperature in summer can often reach more than 48 degrees! It's deadly.

"Of course, you should know that the tanks we export to yezao country can work normally in the hot desert. Moreover, you should also know that in addition to the normal operation of the tank engine, we also have the advanced air conditioning system used by tank combat vehicles, which can work normally in a bumpy environment." Qin Guan continued.

There are not only engines, but also air conditioners. In such a hot environment, egg cakes can be spread on the surface of tanks. Don't you want air conditioners?

Although this thing is used for enjoyment, it is of great help to improve the combat effectiveness of the army. It can be said that as long as they use it, they will definitely love it.

Qin Guan said so. Sure enough, Tariq was moved: "in this case, we hope you can provide us with some samples for us to test."

"Of course, no problem. Not only tanks, but also ordinary armored vehicles, including wheeled armored vehicles."

Besides, if all armored vehicles in rainbow country are equipped with air conditioners, it will definitely be a big business. Qin Guan can't sell domestic tanks, but he can sell parts.

Qin Guan is willing to do anything as long as he makes money.

As we spoke, we walked forward. The production workshop of tanks was opposite the workshop of wheeled combat vehicles.

For rainbow country, the demand for tanks is not urgent. What they need most is a huge number of wheeled infantry combat vehicles, which are enough to undertake combat tasks.
