The Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle was once a project proposed by Qin Zhenhua: mapping and copying the BMP infantry fighting vehicle, which was meaningful under the circumstances at the time, but after a few years, when this project was developed, it was already lagging behind. This can only be a lament that the plan cannot keep up with the changes.

"The biggest problem with this infantry fighting vehicle is the weapon." Qin Zhenhua analyzed, although he didn't have much communication with the designers of these Type 86 infantry fighting vehicles, but as long as he looked at the trend of mainstream infantry fighting vehicles in the world, he could know the problems of this infantry fighting vehicle.

"The weapon system of this infantry fighting vehicle does not meet the needs of modern combat operations at all." Qin Zhenhua said: "This infantry fighting vehicle uses a WA312 73mm low-pressure smoothbore gun, if specifically, it is composed of a simple launch tube and a replica of the PR-9 rocket range extender. The performance of this cannon was seriously insufficient, and although it had certain anti-armor capabilities, it was powerless in the face of composite armor and explosive reactive armor. Moreover, the most irritating thing was the problem of reloading, which had to raise the gun every time the shell was loaded, so that the gunner could not use the first shell to correct the firing element of the second shell, which greatly reduced the firing performance of the gun. ”

This kind of cannon is unique in the world, just such a kind, and it was imitated by its own side, and it was quickly imitated, because this kind of cannon is not difficult at all, isn't it just a large bazooka?

Because the fire control system is backward, the shooting accuracy is very poor, and because the shell uses a rocket boost scheme, as a large RPG, it is quite affected by crosswinds, and is often blown crooked by crosswinds in flight.

Hell if the army likes it.

"Besides, now, the world's mainstream infantry fighting vehicles have begun to use small-caliber rapid-fire guns." Qin Zhenhua continued.

On the wheeled infantry fighting vehicles produced by their own side, a 25 mm machine gun was used, and at that time it was considered to be a versatile player on the battlefield, and it could do almost anything.

There is no need to compare with other countries, as far as the vicinity is concerned, the Type 89 infantry fighting vehicles to be equipped by the island country and the M2/3 "Bradley" infantry fighting vehicles of the 8th Army of the US Army stationed in the pickle country all use 25 to 35 mm caliber machine guns as their main weapons, and are equipped with artillery stabilization devices and advanced fire control systems.

Don't look at the caliber, but in terms of armor-piercing ability, it is definitely the old Soviet-made 73mm low-bore pressure gun, and if you want to talk about continuous firing ability, it is even more powerful.

"In other words, if we transplant a [Yoyo Reading fo] turret, we will be able to gain the favor of the army? In that case, how about we transplant the turrets on our wheeled infantry fighting vehicles? Pan Dahai said.

Although he was very unhappy in his heart, but when discussing the specific technical details, Pan Dahai still thought about it seriously, where the shortcomings are changed, since the problem is in this artillery system, then, simply use your own ready-made, isn't there a machine factory?

Wang Gang frowned a little, will a machine factory agree? Will it ask for money?

"Our 25-mm machine guns also have a lot of problems." Qin Zhenhua said: "Now, we should look at the world and look for suitable machine guns to install from the world, so that we can upgrade to the world's advanced level in one fell swoop." ”

It's not that Qin Zhenhua won't give it, it's that he knows that his 25mm machine gun is not high in performance, and now, he has to aim at the world's advanced level.

"This, it is estimated that it is enough to choke, and the introduction costs money." Wang Gang said.

If you need a large amount of money to import from abroad, how can a gringo give it to him for no reason? And now, what the big guy lacks is money.

When you speak, it's like talking in vain.

"Have you heard of our Jaguar program?" Qin Zhenhua asked.

Jaguar? Hearing Qin Zhenhua say this, Wang Gang reacted: "You mean, let's do it with foreigners, and then engage in foreign trade together?" ”

Qin Zhenhua nodded vigorously: "Actually, the biggest market for our Type 86 infantry fighting vehicles is not at home, but abroad. ”

Engaging in foreign trade, when Qin Zhenhua proposed this infantry fighting vehicle, it was also out of the idea of making money in foreign trade, but not all factories have this ability, and now, they only want to use it by the troops, but the troops didn't look at it, and they were confused.

"We've thought about engaging in foreign trade." Wang Gang said: "However, our infantry fighting vehicle is outdated, after all, the BMP infantry fighting vehicle of the Soviets is about to develop to the third generation." ”

Now the imitation of our own surveying and mapping is nothing more than the BMP-1, the BMP-2 of the Soviets, which has been used for six or seven years and has been replaced in many armies, and the newer BMP-3 is also about to come out.

Those who are willing to equip the Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle must also be the traditional users of the Soviet Union, and we compete with the Soviet Union, do we have this ability?

It's definitely not competitive!

Qin Zhenhua nodded: "Yes, if you export the whole vehicle, it is estimated that there will be some problems, but you can change your mind that if you don't export the whole vehicle, you can export parts." ”

Exporting parts?

The USSR has already transitioned to the BMP-2 and is about to enter the era of the BMP-3, and in many countries there are still a surprising number of BMP-1s. In order to ensure the combat readiness and training of these BMP-1s, it is necessary to stock up on a large number of spare parts, which were originally imported by them, but in use, they also have to be consumed.

They could certainly continue to import from the USSR, but, if there was a better and cheaper option, they would certainly be willing.

Qin Zhenhua's words opened a new path for them.

Our products are imitations of surveying and mapping, almost identical, although the engine used is different, but it can be completely replaced.

So, seize this opportunity now and go to those countries that are already equipped with BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles to lobby, and we will export what they want.

For example, large components such as turret components, engine-transmission components, air filters, and consumable parts such as tracks, torsion bars, and load wheels. In this way, although it is not as beautiful as the export of complete vehicles, it is actually a lot of money.

More importantly, in this way, the factory can survive for a long time, even if there is no domestic order, it can maintain the 86 step production line and retain a large number of the most important technology and production backbone.

As long as the factory can hold on, there will be hope!

The people present, maybe at the beginning, some people had opinions about Qin Zhenhua, but now, no one will really complain about anything, after all, Qin Zhenhua pointed out a way to live for them, so that they saw that the future is bright again, and they mustered up confidence.
