“The main parts of an autoloader in tanks with a fixed cannon is normally situated in the turret. The cannon must be at a specific angle and locked before it can start loading. It has a weakness. After it reloads, the cannon’s position will go back to the start. Even the sighting system will go back to their original position.”
“We can say that even though the fixed cannon increases the shooting speed, it restricts the combat ability of the tank. We don’t have many models of such tanks. We either have manual loaders or non-fixed cannon loaders.”
Ye Jian smiled. “I understand. The tank I sat in yesterday has a non-fixed cannon loader. I noticed that it’s a half-auto loading mechanism. The replenishing of bullets and the unloading of bullets were all done by humans. It’s different from the fixed cannon loader you mentioned.”
“What a detailed observation!” The major general smiled with approval. “That’s right, most of the armored vehicles in our unit are using the non-fixed cannon loader and manual loader. We have fixed cannon loaders but there’s very little. Many military experts are improving and modifying our tanks. The model we are sitting in might stop production in the near future.”
In her past life, Ye Jian didn’t care about this field. If she did, she would know that soon, the fourth generation of the Type 99 main battle tank would appear soon. This represented another huge step in the military power of their nation.
Tanks are main battle weapons. Its technology couldn’t just remain the same. Even if the Type 99 main battle tank appears, the improvement of our nation’s tank wouldn’t stop. If we want to become a strong nation, we need to have a powerful army, one that is able to frighten other countries!
From the Type 59 to the Type 79 to the Type 99 main battle tank now, our country has been progressing secretly!
During these seven days, Ye Jian had a better understanding of the development of our country’s armored forces, from the main battle tanks to the light tanks. She was also able to accurately answer the different functions of the various armored vehicles and their operations when the major general asked.
Just like what Xia Jinyuan said, she wouldn’t be able to master armored vehicles within seven days but she had a concept in her mind. If she had other similar opportunities or chances to train, she would at least know something.
Armored vehicles weren’t the forte of Special Forces soldiers but to the soldiers from the Xueyu unit, they needed to understand the functions and operations of their country’s weapons.
Why was this mysterious Special Force unit so mysterious? It was because there seemed to be nothing they couldn’t solve and no weapons they didn’t know how to use. There was nothing they didn’t know either!
This was a mysterious and frightening unit. Besides the important leaders in the military, no one knew about the presence of the Xueyu unit. They didn’t have names and their unit couldn’t be found. No one knew where their base was, where they were from, or where they would be going.
They were like spirits with swords. Wherever they went, there would be blood. However, no one knew where they were. The other nations knew about the Delta Force, Alpha Force, and the Green Beret. However, you wouldn’t be able to find how this Xueyu unit was formed or their presence!
It was able to proceed with anti-terrorist missions and could stop overseas activities that would harm China. They were also able to be at the frontline to fight for more time for the units behind.
The soldiers that were chosen for this unit were the elites of the elites. They underwent years of strict training and finally became armed with amazing skills and formidable abilities.
The major general was the direct leader of this unit and this was the first time they were recruiting a female soldier. Hence, he was extremely strict and careful.
