自1978年1月美国国防部正式将其坦 克火炮研制重心转移到120毫米火炮项目 上以来,德国的120毫米滑膛炮成了许多国 家同类项目研制的样板。在莱茵金属公司 研制44倍口径长度的发射120×570毫米 炮弹的L44火炮十年之后,一些国家开始 致力于研制140毫米口径的更大威力的后 继产品。然而,冷战的结束和对快速部署部 队需要的出现阻止了这一努力的进程,使 得向更重型武器的转变缺乏现实根据。至 少到目前为止,120毫米滑膛炮稳稳地占据 了中心地位。
Since the U.S. Department of Defense formally shifted its tank artillery research center to the 120mm artillery project in January 1978, the 120mm smoothbore gun in Germany has become a model for similar projects in many countries. Ten years after Rheinmetall developed a 44-caliber L44 gun capable of firing 120 x 570 mm rounds, a number of countries began to devote themselves to the development of more powerful 140-millimeter successors. However, the end of the cold war and the need for rapid deployment of troops have stopped the process of that effort, rendering the lack of a realistic basis for the shift to heavier weapons. At least so far, the 120-mm smoothbore gun has steadily taken center stage.
