Chapter 132

It is unfair to talk about the power regardless of the material of the core of the armor piercing projectile. For example, the armor piercing capability of tungsten alloy armor piercing projectile must be higher than that of steel core armor piercing projectile, while the armor piercing capability of uranium depleted bullet core is higher than that of tungsten alloy.

At present, the T-72 only uses ordinary steel core armor piercing shells, but the dm-13 tail wing of leopard-2 tank is a stable shelling armor piercing shell. The core is a tungsten core with steel sleeve on the outside. Therefore, its armor piercing ability must be a little higher.

In the test of Hans, this armor piercing projectile once broke through the NATO standard three-layer target plate at a distance of 2200 meters. It can be said that the emergence of this armor piercing projectile laid the foundation for the tail stable shelling armor piercing projectile to become the main anti tank projectile. This status has not changed until later generations.

At the same time, its accuracy is also terrible. This time, under the control of its own tank soldiers, it is only more than ten centimeters away from the cross bull's-eye! Plus the diameter of the warhead itself, it's not too much to say that it hit ten rings.

This precision is terrible! The tank gun itself has high precision, coupled with the advanced observation and aiming equipment, it can be said that if we take the leopard-2 tank gun as the prototype to develop our own tank gun, it is definitely much more advanced than the T-72 tank gun!

In addition to the performance of armor piercing, this accuracy makes everyone sigh.

"Although Hans lied about their defense, they are really first-class in mobility and firepower!" Zhu said with a sigh: "when the two are compared, they can immediately distinguish the advantages and disadvantages."

If on the battlefield, the leopard-2 tank is absolutely rolling.

The specific choice will take a long time. Our own side should provide various comparative data. At the same time, the army should also conduct analysis and research. It will take several months to determine it.

However, for now, leopard-2 is definitely going to stand out.

Zhu Lao is quite satisfied.

"However, if we choose leopard-2, we will still face a big problem." Zhu Lao has now regarded Qin Guan as his most intimate assistant. He told Qin Guan his concerns.

The size of the Han people is smaller than that of the Hans people! The tankers are almost all small men with limited physical strength.

The Hans leopard-2 tank has no automatic loader and must be loaded manually.

A 120 mm fixed armor piercing projectile weighs nearly 30 kg. It takes a lot of physical strength to carry it. In tank operations, it does not stop to wait for clothing to be filled. It is filled in the process of moving. In addition to consuming energy, it is also full of risks.

For armor piercing shells, it is only the shells that fall down and may hit your feet. When moving shells, the body may rotate and flash your waist.

But if it's a grenade, it's even more terrible.

You know, the grenade with fuse must not touch anywhere, otherwise it is easy to be destroyed and killed. As soon as the loader let go and the grenade landed, the whole tank exploded from the inside.

According to calculation, the loader can only accurately load shells into the gun chamber when the tank is below 25 km / h, but the tank moving at this speed is simply a live target of anti tank missiles on the battlefield. If we fight for a long time, the loader will have to undergo both physical and psychological tests, which will have a great negative impact on the combat effectiveness of the army.

This is also the reason why the Soviets used automatic loader. Compared with Western tanks, the Soviets' tanks are smaller and the internal space is quite cramped. All tank hands are small. It is absolutely fatal for them to carry 125mm shells.

At the same time, because the internal space is still narrow, if the shells are loaded automatically, the volume of the automatic loader will be too large. Therefore, the Soviets simply divided the shells into two parts and loaded them separately, which has reached the current level.

Then, if you choose leopard-2 tank, you should recruit tank soldiers again. All of them are tall and strong. At least replace all the loaders.

Will the military promise?

Another option is to develop a new automatic loader to automatically load the 120 mm shell?

This is not an ordinary difficulty. After all, the foundation of the Han country is too poor. It can be said that so far, it has not developed a tank by itself, let alone an automatic loader suitable for 120 mm shells.

This is a contradiction. If this contradiction is not solved, the military may finally choose the T-72.

Hearing Zhu Lao's words, Qin Guan also frowned.

Yes, this is a contradiction, and it seems difficult to solve.

Because most of the 120 mm tank guns in the West are filled manually. People are tall and strong. It doesn't matter. If you say automatic loader, there is one, that is, Le Claire tank in chicken country.

Chicken people have always been arrogant and wonderful. They think they are excellent.

Western tanks are big turrets and have a big tail compartment, so when they developed the Leclair tank loader, their idea was to arrange the shells on a bullet chain in the tail compartment, which is connected end to end and loaded into the gun one by one.

But in this way, the turret is stationary, the gun is moving, and loading has become a problem. Therefore, it is impossible to load at any position. Each time, the gun barrel needs to be leveled before loading again.

After the development, Le Clair's tail loader is arranged in double rows. The shells are pushed into the bore after rotating to the ammunition outlet through the conveyor chain in the loader. At the same time, the warhead is backward to prevent accidents.

However, its reliability is quite low. It is said that the failure rate is as high as 4%. That is to say, if 25 rounds are loaded in the vehicle, one will jam.

In addition to reliability, there are security challenges. Once the tail tank is induced or the fire suppression system fails, the armor piercing projectile may not cause any safety risk with the cooperation of the pressure plate and passivated charge, but the armor piercing projectile will certainly make the whole interior of the tank bloody.

Even if I can get the later leclerian tanks for Zhu Lao to study, it is not reliable.

In those years, the chicken country sold this automatic loader to the eagle country. The eagle country tested it and let the people of the chicken country go. Anyway, the eagle country has a black uncle. The machine is good, and the human flesh loader is the most reliable.

Now, this problem is in front of Qin Guan. However, what can be difficult to live in Qin Guan? Soon, Qin Guan thought of something.

The solution lies in our own 4447 factory, to be exact!

When he thought of this, Qin Guan's heart was even a little heavy, because in history, the domestic 120mm gun that deliberately inserted flowers and didn't fire was loaded in plant 4447. It can only realize its value on type 89 anti tank gun.
