[Reporter Luo Tianbin/Taipei Report] The military invested 750.84 million yuan in the development of the "105 mm wheeled chariot", which has completed all research and development tests in January this year, and the shooting hit rate has reached 100%. The Army Command has planned to complete the initial combat evaluation test by mid-July this year, and pass the initial combat evaluation test by the end of October this year. If the relevant test meets the Army's operational needs, it is expected to start small-batch production next year.

Military personnel pointed out today that wheeled tanks must greatly reduce the recoil of the main gun. The 202nd Factory of the National Army has completed the low recoil counter-retrofit machine combined with the M68A1 main gun, and the recoil has been greatly reduced by 40 tons (from 60 tons. reduced to 20 tons), and passed the test by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which can meet the operational needs of the military.

He said that the "105 mm wheeled combat vehicle" is planned to meet the army's future troop deployment needs. The "105 mm wheeled combat vehicle" can be assigned to the joint battalion in the future, and it can be used with the main combat vehicle to execute the front line For the combat and anti-armor missions, a total of 750.84 million yuan is allocated for the whole case, and two prototype vehicles will be built and passed various tests before the end of this year.

In this case, the No. 202 Factory of the Manufacturing Center of the Armament Bureau integrated the research and production energy of the weapon system of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the chassis vehicle of the No. 209 Factory, and developed a new 105mm armor-piercing projectile.

According to the latest report submitted by the Ministry of National Defense to the Legislative Yuan, the D1 and D2 prototypes have been assembled and all R&D tests have been completed on January 18 this year. There are 42 test items, and the shooting accuracy test has reached 0.73 mils ( The overall planning book requires 3 mils), the hit rate is 100% (the specification requires more than 80%), and the stability is good, which is much higher than the planning book planning.

The report also pointed out that in order to improve the performance of the equipment and meet the expected performance of the Army, the research and development unit continued to improve the overall performance. The weight of the D2 prototype can be reduced to 29.9 tons, which meets the requirement of 30 tons in the full specification. When it is modeled, it is planned to reduce the weight to 28.99 tons.

The Ministry of National Defense further pointed out in the report that although the external dimensions of the developed "105 mm wheeled combat vehicle" can already meet the specifications of the official regulations, in order to meet the expectations of the military, it is expected that the turret structure of the second prototype vehicle will not be modified in the D2 stage. Type, first reduce the height to 3.8 meters (down 10 cm), and then modify the turret design to 3.6 meters in the follow-up construction project in a small batch configuration.

As for the artillery part used in the "105 mm wheeled tank", the military said that the Chinese Academy of Sciences had originally signed a contract with a private manufacturer to purchase two M68A2 tank barrels, but the contract was terminated because the manufacturer failed to deliver the goods within the time limit, and the military changed the contract. The turret was developed to purchase the M68A1 tank gun that meets the requirements of the army's regulations, and the first set of turret assembly was completed in February last year, and the first prototype vehicle R&D test was completed in June. The accuracy and stability are excellent and meet the specification requirements.

The Ministry of National Defense stated in the report that the National Army 202 Factory simultaneously developed the XT112 105mm new artillery, and obtained a set of M68A2 artillery through military purchases for functional comparison and verification. Development of barrels in small batches.

According to the latest report submitted by the Ministry of National Defense to the Legislative Yuan, the two prototypes of the "105 mm wheeled combat vehicle" D1 and D2 have been assembled and all research and development tests have been completed on January 18 this year. There are 42 test items. The shooting accuracy test reached 0.73 mils (the overall plan requires 3 mils), the hit rate is 100% (the specification requires more than 80%), and the stability is good, which is much higher than the plan.
