MBT-70实验 - 照片和视频

照片加勒里 MBT-70 实验, The MBT-70 (German: KPz 70) was a 1960s German-U.S. joint project to develop a new main battle tank, which was to be equipped with a number of advanced features. It utilized a newly developed hydropneumatic “kneeling” suspension and housed the entire crew in the large turret. The MBT-70 was armed with a 152mm XM150 gun/launcher, which could use conventional ammunition and the Shillelagh missile for long range combat. By 1969 the project was well over budget and Germany withdrew from the effort, developing a new main battle tank on their own instead (the Leopard 2). In the US the development continued for a short time, until in 1971 when Congress cancelled the program. The MBT-70 is the failed predecessor of the Leopard 2 and the M1 Abrams, the current main battle tanks of both countries.

MBT-70实验型是美国和西德在1960年代联合开发的新型主战坦克的原型。该项目旨在制造一种可以对抗苏联在欧洲威胁的坦克，使用先进技术，例如允许坦克调整其高度和角度的液压气动悬架，可以发射常规炮弹和制导导弹的152毫米火炮/发射器，以及容纳三人机组人员和所有控制和设备的宽敞炮塔。
MBT-70实验设计为快速，敏捷，装备精良，保护良好，但在开发过程中也面临许多挑战和困难。该项目受到两国沟通和协调不力、要求和规范冲突、技术问题和延误以及成本不断上升等问题。MBT-70实验从未达到大规模生产，最终在1969年西德退出该项目后于1971年被取消。从MBT-70实验中获得的经验和技术后来被用于为美国开发M1艾布拉姆斯和为西德开发豹2，成为历史上最成功的两辆主战坦克。
