In fact, before the Gulf War, the US military also lacked the estimate of the extreme conditions facing gas turbines in desert environments.

Due to the harsh use environment, the m1a1 tanks are fighting in desert environments. The tank crew members must maintain the secondary filters for a long time every day, which greatly reduces the battlefield advancement ability of the m1a1 tank. Fortunately, the armored power of Iraq has been destroyed by the coalition air force, and the m1a1 tanks have not encountered any powerful battlefield threats.

After the Gulf War, the first major facelift of the m1a1 tank, m1a2, directly increased the original 6.15 cubic meters of power compartment to 7.6 cubic meters, and the extra space was occupied by the improved secondary air filter.

In addition to installing a lot of electronic equipment, the modified m1a2 tank has also made important improvements in maintenance. After improving the secondary filter, even if used in harsh desert environments, the m1a2 tank only needs to be maintained once every three days.

The secret of the m1a2 tank is almost known to everyone on the Internet in later generations. Liang Yuan naturally would not fall into the big pit of t80 and m1a1. At the beginning of the project, he directly rejected the single-stage boxless filter solution that saves space, but the local tycoon chose the m1a2 solution.

In fact, judging from the current combat needs of the Republic Army, whether it is the Korean Peninsula, the other side of the strait or the roof of the world, it will not encounter an abnormal dust environment like the desert. You can directly stuff the gem power pack into the Wujiu car body. A single-stage boxless filter is a simple version of a half cubic meter-sized secondary filter, which is enough to meet the combat conditions.

The problem is that the 1,000 Institute has entered the military industry, which is the project name of Pakistan's next generation main battle tanks. The environment in Laosan is no better than that in the Middle East. Although the country is not large, there are six or seven deserts that can be called a name. The Baloch Wasteland near the India-Pakistan border is as dusty as the Middle East desert ruled by subtropical high pressure. The ground temperature is even close to 50 degrees. It is the hell of all main battle tanks.

In the near future, when Pakistan purchases main battle tanks, all the well-known tank series in the world were planted in the Baloch wasteland. No country's main battle tanks in Britain, France, Germany, the United States, Russia, and Pakistan's old friends Republic can pass the field test of the Pakistan Army. German Mtu even directly refused to improve the diesel engine of its own Panther tank for the Pakistan Army's scam tropical desert needs.

Since Liang Yuan intends to make a difference in Pakistan's next generation main battle tanks, he will naturally apply the field experience gained by the US m1a2 tanks in the Gulf War in advance.

Of course, the gem engine has an air intake of less than the agt1500 equipped by the M1 series tank, and there is no intercooling and heating system that takes up space. In the end, the tank power pack size was controlled at about 5.2 cubic meters, and the Wujiu tank's power cabin was only 3.5 cubic meters in size. In the end, it can only be used to carry the entire gem power system in the form of a PP drum bag.

Yuli Victor didn't know the ins and outs of the tank project on the gas turbine, and naturally he was accustomed to the Republic's choice of the United States' technical route. Then he scolded the Republic's tank designers in front of Putin, and he had no choice but to be criticized for being unrealistic.

However, the 59 experimental prototype equipped with a 1200-horsepower engine also left a deep impression on the Soviet delegation. The acceleration performance alone was simply too fast. The acceleration when the tank started even led to a little turret rising.

The original matching tank engine of the Type 59 tank is only 520 horsepower. After changing into the gem power pack, the performance doubled and turned around. The scenes of experimental prototypes passing over various slope obstacles can be seen everywhere, and even make people feel that the 59 tank can fly with a wing.

The other experimental bodies of several types of experimental vehicles that alternate and joint drive of the Chai-Rank are far less refreshing and neat than those of simple gas turbine drives due to the complex transmission or power conversion factors of the transmission.

This made it more difficult to decide on the choice of drive form Liang Yuan, who followed the Soviet delegation to watch the tank test together.

Although the Republic did not take out the T80 tank like the Russians in this bilateral exchange between China and the Soviet Union, it was also full of sincerity to take out the test sample of the main battle tank powered by gas turbines in the world.

After all, whether it is the armor or firepower of the tank, it is based on the power system. As long as you know the data of the power system, as a Soviet engineer with rich experience in tank design, you can naturally infer the approximate data of the next generation of main battle tanks of the Republic.

There are currently six tanks in the Tieling Test Base. This time the Soviet delegation arrived, and the base directly used three tanks for demonstration. Even if there was no firepower to strike this project, the tank off-road test was completed one after another and it was noon.

The canteen of Tieling Base is naturally incomparable to Shangri-La. The canteen of the base prepared a lot of steamed buns, rice and corn cakes and several large pots of pig-killing dishes. The Russian delegation tasted a genuine Northeast folk flavor.

After lunch, I held a short farewell meeting in the base conference room. This time the Soviet Union's visit to China reached its end.

At 130 p.m., the Soviet delegation left the tank base in a car and rushed directly to Taoxian Airport to take a United Airlines flight back to Beijing and then transferred to the Il86 wide-body passenger plane of Soviet National Airlines to return to Moscow.

However, not all the personnel of the visiting Chinese delegation returned to China. Based on the results of this exchange, the military of China and the Soviet Union will continue to promote negotiations between the two sides on the procurement of advanced Soviet fighter jets in Shengjing.

The negotiation location is at the Shangri-La Hotel in Shengjing.

What Liang Yuan didn't expect was that Putin contacted Liang Haiping once and returned home on time, while Ms. Nina, who looked at Comrade Vladimir, stayed in the Soviet negotiation preparation team in Shengjing as a Chinese translator.

The Soviet delegation left, and the twins who followed Liang Yuan to watch the fun at the tank base also returned to Shengjing with the convoy because they were going to the airport to see Ning Lei. However, Liang Yuan did not meet Shengjing with the Soviet delegation, but stayed at the testing center of the FAW Tank Base to attend a regular meeting.

Of course, the people participating in the meeting were a bit special. In addition to Zhao Tianshi, a technical representative of the FAW Tank Base, and the third-generation main battle tank project team of the Republic's military, there were two more special personnel, Pakistan Army officer Colonel Rahman Shah, and Pakistan Army officer Colonel Tarik Morio, the logistics department officer of the Pakistan Army.
