C1657 The Weakness of Infantry Tanks
Another weakness? Qin Guan listened attentively. At the same time, his mind was still thinking. What shortcoming could there be? It seemed like he had already filled it all up, right?
General Huang was the commander of the armored soldiers. What he said must have something to do with the armored soldiers. The Main Battle Tank of the armored soldiers, the support of the armored soldiers along with the artillery fire, have always been carried out. The Infantry Tank, which was the most important part of the armored soldiers, had also been replenished by him, right?
Wait a minute!
Qin Guan thought of something and blurted out, "Are you talking about the tracked Infantry Tank?"
Hearing Qin Guan's words, Commander Huang nodded. "Yes, President Qin, it seems you already know about it?"
Now, under Qin Guan's push, the Chain-type Infantry Tank that was 8 x 8 had continuously entered the army and became an important piece of equipment for the infantry to achieve mechanical transformation. However, the Chain-type Infantry Tank was not omnipotent.
In the future, there was a theory that said the rotating Infantry Tank was an effective way to replace the tracks of the Infantry Tank. Among these, the people of Y Country were the first to try it out.
In the early 1990s, during the war with Coconut Jujube Country, they used a total of six months to gather the heavy equipment masters. This made the people of Y Country complain endlessly. They were in the midst of reforming. They started to focus on building light armies to increase the mobility of their deployment. In order to achieve the goal of 96 hours for the army, they chose the "Stryker" 8 x 8 armored vehicle system.
This type of system. This type of vehicle was the same as the advanced rotating Infantry Tank produced in Han Country. 20 tons of weight could be quickly deployed through C130. At the same time, it also had a good chassis. A total of 10 types of vehicles were produced, and they were almost the main force of the army. Having achieved their goal of quickly deployment, the people of Y Country had even built 77 rotations in a short period of time. They had carried out radical reforms.
What was the result? The Stryker Brigade formed by armored vehicles was labeled as a failure in the transformation of the Y Country Army along with the Ramsfield Reformation. They were considered to be the main culprit behind the decline of their regular combat strength.
This Infantry Tank seemed to be very light. However, its defensive capabilities were insufficient. It could not fight a proper war. In front of the enemy's tank... They would not be able to fight a war of raiders, and they would not be able to fight a war of peace. The enemy's RPGs could easily destroy their tanks. Their weapons were no longer the same. They could not do anything!
The rotating Infantry Tank ran very fast on the road. The tanks could not keep up. The tank's speed on the road was not high either. Furthermore, it was on the road. Tanks were usually used to tow trucks, but when it came to the wilderness, in terms of mobility, there was always a shortage of revolving Infantry Tank.
In other words, the rotating Infantry Tank was a simple way to make the troops mechanical. However, this thing could not be used as a weapon to accompany the main force. In other words, it was not the best plan!
One still had to look at the tracked Infantry Tank. Only it was the best equipment to accompany the infantry forward.
In the past, they used their own automotive industry to allow the army to quickly enter a mechanical state. In some aspects, there were still benefits. For example, patrolling the grassland would allow the rotating Infantry Tank to be completed beautifully.
However, when it came to group warfare, the rotating Infantry Tank would always have some flaws.
Qin Guan knew that this was his mistake.
At the same time, in the past, the army did not mention it. That was because it was already good enough to maintain the normal operation of the huge and bloated army. Even the advanced tanks couldn't be equipped on a large scale. The main thing was to improve the 59 tanks to achieve an increase in their abilities. Now, with the disarmament of one million soldiers, the army finally had enough funds to change their equipment. They looked at their equipment and found that there was still this kind of deficiency.
Actually, there were also some traceless armored vehicles in the country. This was the Type 63 armored vehicle, which had been manufactured since the 1960s. It had been in production all the way until now, and it was the only traceless armored transport vehicle in the country.
That's right, it was not called Infantry Tank, but an armored transport vehicle. It could only transport personnel, and could not follow the Tank Force into battle mode. Look at its four Load Wheel, short and small body. I knew it wasn't very good.
Of course, the domestic government was aware of this problem. So, the military personnel in the country were also continuously developing and developing. In the 1980s, a Type 89 armored transport vehicle was created. Looking at its appearance, it was similar to the BMP Infantry Tank in Bear Country. The vehicle was enlarged, and the space inside became more spacious. However, it still did not solve a fundamental flaw. That was the thin skin stuffing!
Now, after hearing General Huang's words, Qin Guan frowned. That's right. In the past, he really hadn't considered it. Now that he had participated in this meeting, of course he had to give everyone an idea.
"We can watch from the outside world. Speaking of Armored Force... It will definitely be the number one place in Bear Country. We might as well get a few BMP Infantry Tank from Bear Country. How about a mapping imitation? " Someone said from below, "If it comes out like this, it must be the most advanced one."
The most common thing in the country was mapping replicas. Now, with the progress of the country's industry, it was easier and easier to mapping replicas. Wouldn't it be best to mapping their advanced armored vehicles and then imitate them?
Qin Guan shook his head. "Not good!"
Qin Guan clearly expressed his attitude. Not good!
The latest one in Bear Country was the BMP-2 Infantry Tank. The total weight of this kind of chariot was only about 14 tons. With such a small weight, what could it do?
"President Qin, what do you think?" General Huang asked.
"Although it's called Infantry Tank, the infantry is facing a very serious situation on the battlefield. Their armor must be as thick as tanks in order to resist the threat." Qin Guan said, "Only such an Infantry Tank is necessary. Otherwise... What's the difference between it and our rotating Infantry Tank?"
The wheel type. Due to the small area of contact between the tires, it is impossible for them to maintain too much weight. Under such circumstances, the weight would not be too high. It would be more than ten tons. Even the most heaven-defying one would only be more than twenty tons. Under such circumstances... The armor wouldn't be thick. When facing a real threat, it couldn't be thick anymore.
Just think about what kind of threat there would be next. When they were patrolling the streets, an RPG, or even a Hulk, suddenly popped up. This kind of Infantry Tank was instantly destroyed.2
"It's as thick as a tank?" Someone had a surprised look on his face. "Is that still an Infantry Tank?"
"Of course, a heavy Infantry Tank." Qin Guan said, "Either we don't do it, or we do it. We have to do it this way. Everyone, please believe in my judgment."
The people of Y Country were badly injured. The same was true for Bear Country. Looking at the war between the ministers and carriages in the future, how much loss would the BMP Infantry Tank of Bear Country suffer?
Reforming it was definitely inevitable!
