Chinese engineers completed 5 years of work on light a tank a new generation, and at the end of 2016 the machine began to enter the army, reports Messenger of Mordovia.

Chinese "mountain" tank began to be massively supplied to the troops




“This tank is intended for operations in the mountainous regions of the People's Republic of China and therefore received the unofficial name of the mountain on the Internet. What is curious, the exact designation of the product of the Celestial Tankoprom of the Celestial Empire is still not known, ”writes publication author Lev Romanov.



According to him, a feature of the armored vehicle is a six-bearing chassis with variable hydropneumatic suspension. “The tank is armed with an 105-mm instrument and has an advanced fire control system with thermal channels. According to some reports, there is an automated charging system. Crew - 3 people. The maximum speed is 70 km / h, ”the article says.



The “mountain” tank should completely replace the obsolete Type 62 in the army, in essence, being a lightweight copy of the Soviet T-54.

      What is the point of loading a flatcar "to the limit"?
      What would "kill" a platform resource? What to get a potential emergency and a chance for a railway accident? And even with multi-million dollar losses?

        In my practice, the platform is 12,5 meters long. Everything that is less than 6 meters long is loaded in pairs, that can be loaded "into the tree" is loaded into the tree. Fuel tankers, air defense installations are loaded one by one. There are normal rules for loading military echelons. I didn't invent them. But personally he himself loaded a battalion of 47 infantry fighting vehicles, 13 tanks, 2 Shilki, and any khurda - a burda in 50 minutes. The officers only aligned the cars, and the conscripts were in command.

    What for? Remember our operation to destroy the Kwantung Army in Manchuria. When through Gobi and Khingan had to drag our tanks. In the mountains, maneuverability and suddenness matter. Therefore, guns and tanks should be light and collapsible. The Germans had special light portable collapsible mountain guns. In Chile, for example, a tank such as the Super Sherman, a slightly advanced type of WWII Sherman, is still used for operations in the mountains.

    Well, do not tell! The Chinese have dynamic armor, but our self-propelled guns do not. And about the automatic loader - strong doubts, because self-propelled guns are airborne, lightened, but in the mountains you still cannot land them. Armor is also only anti-fragmentation. Caliber 125 mm. - means less ammunition. What is the advantage? Not in vain, after all, they call it self-propelled GUN.

    And where did you see the additional fuel tanks? If you had in mind the rear fuel barrels, then these are not tanks, but simply barrels not related to the fuel system. And this is a tradition taken from tanks of the Soviet Union, on the march always have extra fuel. Before the battle, these barrels are thrown off, because they serve as an additional source of ignition when a tank is hit.

        Additional barrels, with additional strapping, are necessary to eliminate the inconvenient and time-consuming operation of manually pumping fuel from barrels to tanks on the march. Remember this truth. In battle, all these barrels are thrown off, because when hit in them, and not in a tank, the tank will burn like a torch. Diesel fuel, although worse than gasoline, but also burns and extinguish 400 liters of diesel fuel in battle there is nothing and no one. The crew may not even notice this fire in a fever, because in battle, all the time, something is hammering on the armor, and there is no time for the commander to look back, God forbid, anti-tank weapons are ahead and do not miss the sides.

    Officers only leveled cars, and sergeants commanded conscripts.

    Don't understand what it means "just align the cars"? Aligning means commanding. On the platform, only one commander, otherwise the driver will not be able to look at the commands of the two commanders. And the correct (exact) entry to the platform is not allowed without leveling. In our unit, there was a case when an officer neglected the charter and gave orders with his hands incorrectly. As a result, the tank flew off the platform. There cannot be two commanders, either an officer or a sergeant, but ONE.

How to center a platform with two infantry fighting vehicles? Have you tried to unload the train at night in the rain and in reverse, when you have to cross the platforms through 25 platforms, to turn the equipment around with turns? Why ask unnecessary questions? So it’s clear that the most difficult and dangerous thing is carried out under the guidance of officers or by the officers themselves. This is interesting, how to prevent entry without alignment if loading is not from the end but from the side ramp, and the entrance to it from the side with a turn on the platform? That's it, soldier, hang up. The commander is tired.

      The mountain tank is designed for action in mountainous terrain. I suppose, structurally, this is an engine that can operate on an ultra-enriched fuel mixture (rarefied air), which is certainly lightweight and with special additional equipment. I would add better autonomy (power reserve) and reliability (for example, some simpler engineering solutions instead of exotics, although an adjustable hydropneumatic suspension has already been mentioned, but you need to give this drink in the mountains for any kind of compensation for slopes) because in the mountains the rear provision is difficult, and mountain tankers, tractors and SEMs would have to be developed.

    The T-14 is not a tank, but a platform unified with a dozen different (identical components) combat vehicles. Unification can dramatically reduce the number of spare parts, fuel and lubricant kits, weapons, shells and much more. Support for the disagreement in armaments with the release of old weapon models, when there is no urgent need for such a solution, exacerbating and increasing operating costs. The development of a particular series, and not an individual machine, is a very costly operation. Since it makes many diverse requirements of diverse customers tie into one knot. This decision is possible only with the state strategic management of the release of military equipment. Firms that produce separately tanks, separately lighter equipment to agree on such a union is almost impossible. The development of the T-14 platform is a tremendous advantage for the Russian defense industry. Do you propose to abandon this indefinitely?

      The T-14 is the tank, and the platform is the Armata.
      T-14 (GBTU Index - Object 148) is the newest Russian main tank with an uninhabited tower on the basis of the Armata universal tracked platform.
      All armies of the world are armed with both obsolete and incoming new equipment. Compose only from the new, too expensive. The obsolete is modified and it receives a second life, because in certain conditions its use is justified and effective.

    The charter contains commands given by hands to control the driver. Because nobody will risk a tank in a war because of a driver who has little experience in driving a tank. It’s one thing to call in a flyover at a tank test site and it’s quite another thing to call on a real platform.

    Probably South Korean Black was copied, it’s just the suspension and shells fly into the enemy’s hatch

    I ask you to clarify - how the suspension flies into the hatch of the enemy flies? And the hit of shells in the hatch is doubtful. Anti-tank shells fly along a trajectory almost parallel to the ground, with a slight decrease. This is called direct range firing. How do they fly into the hatch? Kill God, I don’t understand?
    Generally, a "direct shot" is a shot in which the trajectory of the projectile does not exceed the height of the target. And there is no trace of parallelism to the ground and a slight decrease.

    Any flight of a projectile, bullet or grenade occurs along a ballistic trajectory. Or do you not know that any projectile is gradually approaching the ground? A direct shot is the movement of the projectile when its ballistic trajectory does not exceed the height of the target and thus it is guaranteed to hit the target: in the upper, lower or middle parts of the target. Physics at school was apparently poorly taught.

    The expansion of China in our Far East and Siberia is proceeding at a tremendous pace; Chinese enclaves are being created where the law of the Celestial Empire is in force and orders are issued directly.
    The fifth column of China in Russia has already been created, and if you can’t cut it off from the leaders from outside (from China), Russia will lose a huge part of its territories.
    The problem is being hushed up, but it is.
    Russia can not oppose China to anything other than nuclear weapons, they will throw us hats, it can only help aggravate relations between China and India, the United States, etc., which is not so simple, because colossal resources are needed for warfare, and ... Russia has them, and to take them, this is China's first priority.
