Mechanical mechanic does not have an armored vehicle

Only going to high school, but confident in his experience in the field of engineering, the 56-year-old man in Hanoi has fostered a passion for creating military equipment, including armored vehicles to serve the country. .

Two years ago, during a time of accidentally watching television, Mr. Nguyen Dinh Chinh (Hoang Mai, Hanoi) was attracted by Russian armored vehicles. Listen carefully to every detail and features of the car, he thinks that he can do more than that."Such equipment is not difficult for me, why not try it? If I can do it, Vietnam will not have to enter overseas," Chinh thought.

The next day he brought the story with his family and relatives but was not supported by anyone."Armored vehicles that are easy to do, people do it all. While the economy is not strong, it's already made, whoever buys it," a friend stopped Mr. Chinh.

Despite the discouragement, he continued to work as a mechanic every day, and at night and in the evening, he went to the Internet to read information about armored vehicles in countries around the world. In the middle of 9/2015, when temporarily having enough funding and being more knowledgeable, and confident when he had 20 years in mechanical engineering, Mr. Chinh decided to "risk his life" .

Mr. Nguyen Dinh Chinh is on an armored vehicle.

In September 2015, Mr. Chinh and three other workers began to build vehicles in the surprise of relatives and families. In order to have a place to create this military equipment widely, Mr. Chinh went to Son Tay town to build a mechanical workshop of nearly 300m2."I used to build a lot of machines like steel casting machines, steel making, incinerators, so I believe I can do it , " he said.

With "the desire to create outstanding products" he did not manage day and night. May 5/2016 the car is completed and can move 20-30km. However, due to insufficient funds, the materials and machinery for vehicles are not synchronized.

"The products I make will have more points than other cars in the world. Saying no one believes, but the process of making cars, I made a circuit that has little difficulty, perhaps due to the giftedness. available " , Mr. Chinh said optimistically.

The armored vehicle designed and built by Mr. Chinh weighs 13 tons, 6.8 meters long, 3.0 meters wide and 2.6 meters high. Vehicles can run across the slope of 45 degrees, lifting and lowering from 0.3m to 1.2m and obstructing obstacles 1.5m high, while ordinary cars can be lifted down 20cm, obstacle course 0.8 m.

The first part of the car is designed with discs to cut obstacles, cut trees or barbed wire. Inside the car is the main machine in operation, above there are two seat positions for the commander and the driver, in which the driver uses the camera and the 13-inch screen observes the four corners without opening the lid and controls OK.

Due to the lack of funding, the body of the casing intended to be made of thick steel corrugated iron with high resistance materials has not yet been implemented, instead he chose materials with normal thickness, cheaper prices. On the side, there are two bulletproof layers, B40, B41 warheads can be seized. Vehicles with a capacity of 10-12 people. On the car with a hole in the apricot for soldiers to shoot with observation angle shot at 5m.

Behind the car is a door to enter the engine compartment and a platoon with about 10-12 people inside.

8 wheels, each 4-wheeled side operates independently with separate moving assemblies unrelated to each other. In case of being punctured, two tires on one side are still moving normally.

Mr. Chinh said that in the world, the line of steel cars like this has many, but he will create many outstanding features."Vietnam still mainly imports armored vehicles, so I cherish the creation of a Vietnamese-branded vehicle, making a small contribution to military defense science and technology," he said.

Because of this desire, Mr. Chinh has accumulated all the accumulated money after more than 20 years of working in many construction, mechanical and borrowing companies everywhere to create armored vehicles. He expected the Government to help to complete the car. In the coming time, Mr. Chinh also intends to create many other military equipment such as the pontoon buoy, automatic underground blockhouse.
