    After all, there is no time to reinvent the wheel during war. To desperately stay ahead, nations sometimes create whole departments of people to spy, infiltrate, and copy enemy advancements in technology. Perhaps even more absurd, being the first country to make progress in new technology seems to rarely balance the power favorably for long as every other country, enemy and ally alike, are soon sending spies and envoys to get their hands on it.

    While the PLZ-05 does use components copied from the MSTA-S, it was actually designed to be in line with *western* SPGs. It has a rear mounted turret, very thin armor, and even fires NATO 155mm shells because they're so much easier to get than Soviet 152mm shells.

      The Chinese PLZ 05 and the The export version, The PLZ-45 , both in 155mm were actually based on an unpgraded platform of the previous 152mm Type 83 Howitzer , which has been deeply influenced all-together by another soviet design ,The 2S3 Akatsiya . Msta-S was there in China for evaluation purpose ,given by Russia to China in order to successfully incorporate Gerald Bull's designed GC-45 155mm howitzer in 1980s. and mind you , The PLZ 45 came first in 1989 , followed by PLZ-05 in mid 1990s. Unlike the 2S19 Msta-S , which is semi-automated in a way similar to the 152mm SPGH DANA of the Czechoslovaks , The PLZ-45 is a fully manually loaded artillery, similar to the 2S3 Akatsiya , M109 Paladin and G-6 Howitzer . In fact it looks more like an upgunned and better version of M109 than the Americans ever had.

    • @Swindle1984
      @Swindle1984 2 года назад +16

      PLZ-05 is basically a mish-mash of design features from Russian 2S3, 2S19 and American M109, with the gun copied from Gerald Bull's GC-45. Interestingly, they kept the 155mm instead of using the Russian 152mm partly to expand their potential export customers and partly because their engineers couldn't adapt Bull's design from 155mm to 152mm without making a lot of changes they were too lazy to bother developing. One consequence of this is that China is stuck using a mixture of east-bloc and NATO artillery calibers, rather than standardizing on one design, an issue they had with their tanks but have finally overcome by standardizing around Russian 125mm guns for everything rather than the mix of Soviet 85mm, 100mm, and 125mm guns and NATO 105mm and 120mm guns that they had in the 80's and 90's. Presumably we'll see China standardize their artillery in the near future, rather than use a mix of Russian 122m, 130mm, and 152mm guns and NATO 105mm and 155mm guns. Both countries use a 203mm gun, but I doubt ammunition for either is compatible with the other, and except for North Korea and Iran I don't know of anyone still using 175mm or 185mm guns.

      @@Swindle1984China actually obtained the license legally , in this case , from Gerald Bull industries , to make a local copy called the Type-89 155mm Towed Howitzer. Gerald Bull has sold his Howitzer and Designs to other rogue states of those time like South Africa, Libya Iran and Iraq. And GC-45 and it's modernised Versions and variants like GHN-45 , DENEL-G5,Type 89 and Kalyani Bharat-52 are some of my favorite Howitzers. It is cheap , but sturdy and accurate .

    The US didn't shamelessly steal the FT-17 from the French; they were allowed to produce it as a license-built near copy of Renault's design (in other words, they had permission).
    And even then, they were still using FT-17s at the same time (which complemented however many M1917s the US produced).
    One thing the US did steal shamelessly was Mauser's rifle design during the Hispanic-Cuban-American War. The rifle the US were using at the time was inferior to the Mauser the Spanish were using, so the US reverse engineered it and came with the 1903 Springfield rifle, which was a copy of Mauser. IIrc, there was a lawsuit from Mauser, and while the US got to keep the 1903 design they were forced to pay a considerable sum (both for the rights to produce it and as reparation).

    The Germans developed the first practical interrupter system for the Fokker Eindecker , August Euler was the initial inventor, and Franz Schneider had developed a prototype a year before Saulnier unveiled his own design. It still wasn't reliable however, requiring the metal deflectors. Fokker might, or might not have, taken it and improved it for his own plane. Germany already had its own machinegun synchronization system in development at that time.

    The funny thing about the M1917 is that it was a license built make, and anything built from a license will always be extremely similar to what it was licensed from, so it's not exactly a shameless copy. The Huskie too isn't exactly a shameless copy either, as it just uses a similar rotor system. Besides, the maker of the system worked on the darned thing so it's even less so. The PLZ-05 and Type 726 have too little information on them since they're Chinese, but as far as I could tell the only remote similarity to their respective copies is that the PLZ potentially uses the same loading mechanism as the Msta, and the 726 uses gas turbine engines like the LCAC-55. I will say that the four of them do look strikingly similar, but that'd be like comparing the GM J Bodies from the 80's to each other. The Eindecker's original unarmed scout plane model was based on the Morane-Saulnier, and so was the synchronization gear, so I would call it the same way I called the Chinese models.

The reason was that the French blueprints were in metric system which confused the Americans.

    i think the first one of the list is just reaching because the PLZ-05 has pretty much no parts interchangeability with the MSTA-S and the semi automatic loader is used on a lot of different SPG's of similar performance. It has a different hull, turret, gun, engine layout and the engine and transmission itself is so radically changed its pretty much its own design. Even him saying they look similar is pretty dubious.

      A: US has never used Imperial. Imperial measurements are different from US standards.

    The PLZ-05 is NOT a copy of the 2S19. It only incorporates a few copied technologies but is otherwise very different to the 2S19.
    While the single wing design of the Fokker Eindecker was inspired by the french Saulnier H., the interruptor/Synchronisation Gear was NOT copied from the french. The french used deflector plates on the propeller. Fokker used the Schneider Syncrhonisation Gear (Patented 1913 in Germany).
    The french choice with deflector plates was not feasable for the german 7.9mm Mauser Cartridge, as they had too much penetration capability for the use of deflector plates (the french lebel 8x50mm R Cartridge was very low powered and had soft tipped roundet bullets)
    The 726A LCAC is INSPIRED not Copied from the US LCAC. It is substantially bigger.
    In the same way you could say the US copied the LCAC from the sovjets with their Aist Class LCAC or Gus Class LCAC or Tsaplya Class LCAC (all significantly earlier developed and in service than the US LCAC)
    Yes the sovjets were for most of the time of the cold war on the edge of technological advancement, often ahead of NATO.
    FT-17 was a legal license production.
