What kind of tank was "Zhan Ji" among autobots in the American animated version of Transformers in 1980s?

The tank, also known as Xie Lidan, was developed in the early 1960s. The first batch of prototype cars were manufactured at the end of 1962 and delivered to the army for testing at the beginning of 1963. It was not until 1967 that the US armored cavalry (reconnaissance) battalion was partially equipped. From 1966 to 1970, the United States produced a total of 1700 tanks, which were mainly used by armored reconnaissance units and airborne divisions, and also provided fire support for areas where main battle tanks could not be deployed during joint operations of various services and arms.

During the period of 1968 ~ 1969, the United States used 64 tanks in the Vietnam War, and found that there were problems with the engine transmission, suspension and combustible cartridges of the tanks (3 tanks). 1978, the United States announced that it would continue to equip all except the 82nd Airborne Division. The United States sent some vehicles as simulation vehicles to training bases such as California to simulate various armored vehicles and weapon platform test vehicles in the Soviet Union.

Structural features The tank body is welded with 7039 aluminum armor, with the cockpit in front, the battle cabin in the middle and the power cabin in the back. The pilot has a hatch cover with three M47 periscopes. When driving at night, the middle 1 can be replaced by M48 infrared periscope.

Edit this paragraph. Weapon turrets are welded by steel plates. The conductor and gunner are located on the right side of the turret, and the loader is located on the left. The main gun is M8 1 model 152mm gun/missile launch tube with bidirectional stabilizer and hydraulic-spring concentric recoil device. The weight of the whole gun is 607kg, accounting for only 3.8% of the weight of the whole vehicle. The barrel is 2870mm long, the rifling length is 40 times the caliber, and there are missile launching guides and special swing breeches for launching armor-piercing bullets. The gun can not only fire ordinary shells with combustible cartridges, such as multi-purpose armor-piercing projectiles, grenades, yellow phosphorus smoke bombs, tracer training bombs, but also launch Shillelagh anti-tank missiles. The combined M409E5 multipurpose armor-piercing projectile weighs only 22.2kg, the projectile weight is 19.0kg, the initial velocity is 687m/s, the bore pressure is 272.44MPa(2780kgf/cm2), the recoil length is 380mm, the effective range is about 1500m, and the maximum vertical armor-piercing thickness is 500mmm.

Edit the missile model of this paragraph. Oak stick anti-tank missile model is MGM-5 1A, weighing 27kg, the total length of the missile is 1 140mm, the maximum flight speed is 200m/s, the range is 200 m ~ 3000 m, and the maximum vertical armor-piercing thickness is 500 mm The missile adopts visual aiming, infrared automatic tracking and automatic command. The ammunition base of this tank is 10 missile and 20 shells. The main battle weapon system similar to M8 1kloc-0/52mm gun/missile launch tube was later used as the main battle weapon on M60A2 tank and MBT-70 tank cancelled in 1970.

Edit this observation device. The tank commander's control tower is equipped with 65,438+00 observation mirrors for looking around. In addition, the commander also used 1 portable night vision equipment with a magnification of 4 times. Gunners use 1 M 129 telescope and 1 overhead M44 infrared day and night sight. The former has a magnification of 8 times and a field of view angle of 8, while the latter has a magnification of 1 times during the day, a magnification of 9 times at night and a field of view angle of 6. 1 infrared searchlight is installed on the left side of the main gun outside the car. ?

Tanks are also equipped with 1 M73 7.62mm parallel machine guns, and the control tower is equipped with 1 M2HB 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns, with a pitching range of-15 ~+70. ?

The tank adopts a 6V-53T two-stroke six-cylinder water-cooled turbocharged diesel engine manufactured by General Motors, with a maximum power of 22 1kW(300 HP). The transmission device is TG-250 hydro-mechanical transmission with hydraulic torque converter and lock-up clutch, with four forward gears and two reverse gears. The gearbox body is made of aluminum-magnesium alloy material. When steering, the second gear, the third gear and the fourth gear have corresponding fixed steering radii, and the first gear and the reverse gear can realize in-situ steering. ?

There are five pairs of load-bearing wheels in the action part, the driving wheel is in the back position, the inducing wheel is in the front position, and there is no supporting wheel. The bearing wheel has a hollow structure to increase buoyancy. The first and fifth load wheels are equipped with hydraulic shock absorbers. The suspension device is torsion bar type. The cast steel track shoe with pin ear glue has a large track width, the unit pressure of the whole vehicle is only 48. 1kPa(0.49kgf/cm2), the height of the bottom of the vehicle from the ground is 482mm, and the front end of the track exceeds the front of the vehicle, which makes the tank have good off-road capability. ?

Standard equipment includes heater, exhaust fan at the top of turret, fire extinguishing device and three prevention devices.
