The eight -wheeled armored vehicle independently produced by the Taiwan military was exposed to a crack in 50 anti -bullet anti -steel plates. The Taiwan Ministry of National Defense admitted that the fissure caused by poor welding and other factors has been repaired and the bulletproof function has been completed.
Taiwan media "Ling Media" reported on Friday (August 2) reported that among the 50 armored vehicles with severe cracks, 27 are the CM-34 30 machine cannon strolling battle in the past two years.23 cars are CM-32-loading battle vehicles and CM-33-loading command vehicles that exceed the warranty period.
If the officers and soldiers of the Taiwan Army are worried that if these problematic armored vehicles continue to use, I am afraid that they will be reduced to the "iron coffin" on the battlefield.
The eight -wheeled armored vehicle of the cloud leopard is jointly developed by the Army and Army's Trendy Development Center with the Industrial Research Institute and the Military Reserve Bureau. The overall design is mainly to meet the needs of Taiwan's terrain as the main consideration. At presentDedicated to the Army and Gendarmerie Force.
This type of armored vehicle is welded with high tension steel plates, which has the function of bullet resistance. The "Wanjun car" switching to the presidential command post during wartime also uses such armored vehicles.
The Taiwan Ministry of Defense's Military Reserve Bureau issued a press release on Friday morning to confirm the report.
The Army Bullet stated that during the installation of the army in July last year, the army found that a cloud leopard eight -wheeled armor landing board had a crack, and then a comprehensive inspection was immediately conducted and asked the steel plate manufacturing contract. Sinosteen Machinery Company AssociationThe third -party unit is requested to perform the physical testing of steel plates and find that the chariot is caused by factors such as poor welding.
The Military Reserve Bureau said that 27 armored vehicles that appeared cracks were still required to repairs and replace Sinosteel Machinery Company during the two -year warranty period.Assist in repair.
The Military Reserve said that as of August 1, two new front panels in front of the armor body had been completed, and 48 landing board crack welding was repaired.Multiple tests such as the 209th Factory Laboratory of the Military Reserve Bureau, all armored vehicle -proof -related functions are verified.
It is reported that the problem of steel plate cracks also occurred in the eight -wheeled armor of Yunbao in 2006, but the Ministry of National Defense did not admit it at the time until June 2008, the Kuomintang legislator Lin Yufang revealed that 14 batch -produced armored vehicles were revealed to the armored vehicles produced by batches.There were four steel plates and chassis serious cracks, and the Ministry of Defense was suspended in emergency production.
At that time, the Taiwan Ministry of National Defense formed a project team investigation and found that it was also flawed in the processing process of Sinosteel steel plate processing.The Ministry of National Defense agreed to continue production after Sinosteel adjusted its production system.
