Chapter 403： next gauntlet

The rolling torrent of armor, like locusts, is overwhelming, and the artillery fire that fills the sky can swallow the whole of Europe at any time! Huge fleet, advanced airborne troops, and even the British across the strait, don't even think about sitting down!

The momentum of the offensive, in the first day, the armored troops moved forward 200 kilometers! This is still the result of a false confrontation! The combat effectiveness of the Soviet Union's ground armored forces was once again strongly displayed in front of the West.

"General Andre, didn't you say we can observe these tanks?" Major General George looked at the t80 tank more than a dozen meters away and couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

The three-day exercise was over. Before the end, the Western observation group hoped to visit the exercise troops. Andre agreed and brought them with them. Unfortunately, they were already taken by the army more than ten meters away from the tank. Stop it!

No, can't get any closer!

"Major General George, I have already answered your question when I received you a few days ago. It is completely okay to observe our tanks from a close distance." Andre said: "Now, it is more than ten meters away from the tank. The place is close enough, isn't it?"

"General Andre, you are humiliating us. Our tanks in Great Britain are much better than yours!" Major General George couldn't bear it. It can be said that the whole exercise is humiliating the Western world. Now, the exercise is over, Not even a tank!

humiliation? Hearing Major General George's protest, Andrei smiled: "Your tank, the most advanced one is the Challenger 1, which weighs 64 tons and is equipped with your newly developed Chobham armor. However, even if it is The high-hardness alloy steel plate, the expansion reaction layer, the flaky alumina ceramic layer, the high-hardness alloy steel backing plate and the aluminum-containing metal lining developed by your engineers are alternately arranged and placed at a large inclination angle, and the gap is made of special rubber. It is filled with a kind of refractory buffer material. This kind of armor boasted very strong actually increases the protection against armor-piercing bullets to more than 550 mm, and the defense against armor-piercing bullets to about 450 mm. It can withstand us The latest depleted uranium armor-piercing rounds fired from the 125mm tank gun? Our penetration is a thousand millimeters.”

Andre's words shocked Major General George. The British Challenger tank relies on the Chobham armor, which is the most advanced composite armor in the Western world. Even the American M1 tanks use this armor! And now, the formula, layout and performance of the armor have been clearly stated by the other party. Could it be that they have spies?

humiliate you? Just to humiliate you, how can you? Andre continued: "Also, your tanks have been guarding the rifled guns all the time. Your 120mm tank guns fired 200 rounds of shells, and the rifled guns were lost? Otherwise, let's find In this place, use your Challenger 1 and our t80 tank to publicly compare it, and we don't need to compare the mobility we are best at. The Challenger 1 engine is simply not as good as our gas turbine. We are only one thousand meters away. How about firing a cannonball at each other at a distance? To be fair, let your cannonball hit our tank first."

If reason hadn't overcome anger, Major General George really wanted to agree to Andre's request, but Major General George knew that it was impossible! Our Challenger 1 tank, the armor really can't stand the blow of 125mm depleted uranium armor-piercing projectile! The US-made m1 can't stand it, and neither can our own tanks! And the Soviet tanks, composite armor and reactive armor, can resist their own shells!

"How about it? General George, dare you?" Andre said. "We can bet that if we win, how about planting our sickle and axe flag on the Houses of Parliament in London?"

Boom, Major General George felt that his mind exploded with a bang, everything was blank, this was a naked, **** threat! In this special period, the Soviet Union is fighting against Western Europe!

Western Europe, can it fight?

United States, the White House.

"This time the Soviets' exercise still did not break away from the model of previous Soviet operations, that is, the ground assault group with tanks as the core made a deep breakthrough to the opponent. This tactic that has been finalized since the 1930s has been used all the time. Up to now. It can be said that the core of the Soviet Army is the tank." The National Security Affairs Assistant is analyzing the Soviet Union's Western 79 military exercise in detail.

Although the representative of the United States was not able to participate in this exercise to observe, after all, compared with previous exercises, the degree of publicity of this Soviet exercise is quite high. This is the first time in history that the West has been invited to observe!

Therefore, the United States can obtain a considerable amount of useful information, which even exceeds the sum of what the intelligence system has been able to obtain over the years.

"The main tanks of the Soviets are the new t72 and Among them, the t72 is the third-generation main battle tank developed by Nizhny Tagil. It is equipped with composite armor and large-caliber smoothbore guns and has good comprehensive combat performance. This kind of tank has played against us in the Hokkaido region, and its performance overwhelms our m1. The t80 tank is a new type of tank developed by Omsk on the basis of the t64b tank. Greatly improved, we estimate that the combat effectiveness of this tank is fifty percent higher than that of the T64."

"All the weapons of the Soviets are designed to cooperate with tank groups, such as their BMP series infantry fighting vehicles, purely to meet the requirements of infantry-tank coordination in high-speed mechanized assaults. We can see the Soviet offensive sequence, in the Soviet Union Behind the tank, this infantry fighting vehicle carried infantry to the enemy's highlands violently, the scene was very spectacular. At the same time, all the artillery in the Soviet army realized the development of self-development, especially, they liked large-scale fire coverage very much, The proportion of multiple rocket launchers has further increased. And we have also seen a group of Mi-24 gunships cooperate with ground troops to conduct large-scale operations."

"So, what is the conclusion of this exercise?" President Carter is obviously impatient. He has been overwhelmed by too many troubles recently. He still doesn't understand what his subordinates have said. What is the conclusion?

"The conclusion is that the Soviet army has developed to its peak, and the Soviet ground forces are arguably the most powerful in the world. If a war broke out and the Soviet armored troops started to attack from under the Berlin Wall, it would only take 8 days for the Egyptian army in Paris to attack. The Eiffel Tower will be planted with a sickle and axe flag." (To be continued.)
