For a long time, the technology of tank armor and armor piercing projectile was stagnant, but later, new technologies appeared soon. The technology of composite armor greatly enhanced the protection of armor, and the armor piercing projectile with stable shelling of tail wing began to be popular, especially the tank gun with high bore pressure, which made the projectile exit quickly and greatly increased its power, The more important one is the pit.
In this impending war, Xiong's T72 tank was deeply criticized. Once it was hit, it died and exploded. The tank turret was directly overturned. It looked terrible. Even if they were lucky to hit each other, the other party would not have any damage. The other party's thick armor could even bomb the tank shells!
The reason for this is still the monkey version. The monkey version of the turret is filled with quartz sand. The monkey version of the steel core armor piercing bullet has poor armor piercing ability. It is OK to deal with the second-generation tanks and the advanced tanks in the West. It will only be destroyed. Now, of course, Qin Guan can't let this happen.
"Now, the world's most advanced armor piercing projectile has begun to use depleted uranium as its core. We estimate that the short-range armor piercing ability of this core may reach 1000 mm," Qin Guan said.
1000 mm, that's one meter. If it was an ordinary steel armor, it would need to be one meter thick. When Qin Guan said this data, everyone was shocked.
Is the armour piercing bullet so powerful now?
If so, can their tank armor resist?
You know, the strength of tank protection can be calculated by equivalent homogeneous armor. Although they are confident now, they dare not be arrogant to say that this armor can be equivalent to one meter thick homogeneous armor.
So what if you add an additional layer of additional armor?
"If you think it has a great impact on your self-weight, you don't have to wear it all over. Just hang it all over the front," Qin Guan said.
As the bravest tank soldiers, of course, they have to face their opponents. If they want to retreat and escape, it is useless to increase these protections, because the original armor behind them is not thick.
It is still possible to carry the depleted uranium armor piercing bullet of M1 tank with the imitation version of chobam armor inside and the explosive reaction armor outside. If it is the original version, it will be too arrogant.
When Qin Guan said this, the other party really stopped insisting: "then we choose comprehensive coverage."
Even if you add a few tons of weight, you should make the tank stronger. Once you are hit by the other party, strong armor can give the tankers the greatest confidence.
It took a long time for them to build up their confidence in the whole war. However, it was easy to break their confidence. As long as they were broken down once, the morale of the tankers would be greatly reduced and they would no longer dare to move forward bravely.
"So, can our armor piercing bullets be used for sex?" someone asked.
It's like a contradiction. My shield must be very thick. All spears in the world can't Pierce. My spear should be particularly sharp. Any shield can pierce. So, what about using your own spear to poke your own shield?
The armor of tanks must be particularly thick. No tank can penetrate, and the shells of tanks must be very powerful. They can penetrate all tanks. Of course, as long as they do not include their own.
It's enough that your own tank can block the attack of other tanks, and your own tank gun can break through the armor of other tanks. In fact, the use of tanks is very complex. If you can't penetrate the front, you can hit the side and the back. Of course, it's the best to penetrate the front.
"Yes, do you have advanced depleted uranium armor piercing bullets that can be exported to us?" asked another person.
Now, depleted uranium armor piercing bombs are no longer a secret thing. Xiong Guo and Ying Guo are studying this kind of thing. After hearing these people's questions, Qin Guan said: "Depleted uranium armor piercing projectile is very powerful, but it has very serious pollution, especially in war areas. The impact may last for decades, so we do not intend to develop this technology. After all, we have to consider it for future generations."
Depleted uranium armor can only be well protected, but depleted uranium armor piercing bullets are not well protected. When penetrating the target, depleted uranium will burn and radioactive dust will enter the air. Even a small amount of dust will damage people's health. This effect is subtle.
Qin Guan said it solemnly.
In fact, for many people, they simply don't consider this thing. On the battlefield, there will be a threat of death at any time. Do they still care about future generations?
However, since Qin Guan said so, there must be his reason. Then, what else is there without using depleted uranium armor piercing bullets?
"We have developed the latest tungsten alloy armor piercing bullet, which has the largest aspect ratio and further improves the armor piercing ability." Qin Guan said: "if you need it, we can provide you with this most advanced armor piercing bullet."
The tungsten alloy armor piercing shells of the Han country have always been the best. There are many reasons. For example, the Han country already has the largest tungsten mine in the world. The mining of tungsten in the Han country will not be limited. There is enough output. Of course, tungsten alloy can be used to make armor piercing shells.
This is just like the Han state, which did not like to use copper shells and produced steel shells. On the one hand, it saved costs. On the other hand, it was because the Han state lacked copper mines. Once this strategic resource was cut off during the war, it would be in great trouble if the bullets that needed a lot of consumption were not manufactured.
If you want to improve the performance of armor piercing projectile, it is necessary to improve the length diameter ratio. The longer the core, the better the armor piercing ability. Therefore, the 120mm armor piercing projectile in the Han country uses the full loading method, which can backseat the whole core into the propellant to maximize the length of the core. In this way, it can greatly improve its penetration depth.
"However, due to the limitation of tungsten alloy armor piercing projectile, we should not only improve the performance of its projectile, but also cooperate with tank guns." Qin Guan said: "Anyway, your tank has used a large number of tank guns in the last war, and many gun barrels have reached their service life. Therefore, simply replace it with our newly developed tank gun, which has been lengthened by more than one meter and belongs to a 55 times caliber tank gun, which can make better use of the energy of propellant and improve the initial speed."
Qin Guan is too worried. In order to prevent the date country from losing too badly, Qin Guan has made various plans and carried out various plans. Their tank upgrading is also all-round. They are all considerate. As long as they pay for it.
