In northern Syria, fighting has resumed in the small town of al-Bab.
Within a day, the name of this city spread all over the world. Firstly, it was because the invisible fighters rescued dozens of innocent civilians who were about to be killed by ISIS at the last moment. Secondly, it was because ISIS armored forces were rescued by the Iranian army outside the city.
Got beaten up.
The mixed Iraqi-Syrian coalition forces pursued the victory and entered al-Bab, and faced off with ISIS Zarqawi's troops who had fled back into the city, each occupying half of the city. Both sides used tanks and artillery to attack, but for the time being neither could do anything to the other.
These two pieces of news are enough to make the world excited.
The bloody photos posted on Zhou Qingfeng's Twitter and FB accounts were officially deleted, but the messages were unblocked. So he took photos of dozens of rescued Babu residents and uploaded them, leaving a message saying, 'I do what I say.'
Compared to the previous complaints of resentment and curses, this time a large number of people around the world gave Zhou Qingfeng countless complimentary words. They praised him almost like a saint, and almost banned him.
At this moment, Zhou Qingfeng is staying in the government-occupied area of Bab as a Chinese military observer. He has just received a large dinner from the cooking cart and sat on an ammunition box to eat dinner. He is the only one who does not activate the optical camouflage.
A weird bearded officer.
Wu Gang from the armored team also came over with a dinner plate and expressed his thanks in a low voice: "Boss, thank you very much. If you hadn't brought the Iranians here in time, at least half of us would have died."
The Iranians were marching too slowly today and failed to keep up with the battle plan. Moreover, they were walking in the wrong direction. If Zhou Qingfeng hadn't bumped into them halfway, these guys would have arrived at the battlefield at least ten minutes late.
Ten minutes is enough to change the entire situation of the battle.
"How are your people?" Zhou Qingfeng asked.
"Fortunately, at least that brother is still there." Wu Gang chuckled. Although the armored team was not directly hit by ISIS tank guns when being pursued, high-explosive grenades at close range could still kill people.
Even with armor protection, two-thirds of the T-45D commanded by Wu Gang was still damaged, and more than half of the personnel had to go to the hospital to lie down for a while. He reflected on himself: "Today is my first actual combat. To be honest, I can't fight well."
good."
"Forget it, look at those Iranians. They didn't think there was anything wrong with them being beaten like that, but they were very proud." Zhou Qingfeng stuffed a large piece of chicken into his mouth and pointed at several Iranians not far away.
The tank soldier spit out a bone, which meant something.
Haha... Wu Gang also laughed. The Iranians also made a big splash today. After all, they fought a rare tank battle, and the results were pretty good. But in terms of specific tactics, they were lackluster. It was completely
Rely on the generation advantage of tanks to win.
ISIS's T-72s were originally equipped by the Syrian government forces, with poor fire control and rubbish shell power. The only thing that could pose a threat to the VT-4 was actually a T-90S. But after the actual battle, everyone discovered that this so-called
The advanced tanks are actually just that.
The territory of the T-72 plus the turret of the T-80, this is the T-90. Maozi is getting more and more deceptive now. ISIS tanks actually hit a few hits, but the penetration of Russian shells is really bad
.
The fronts of several VT-4 turrets were hit, and the T-72's steel-core armor-piercing projectiles could only destroy the explosive reactive armor. The biggest threat to Iranian tank crews came from a T-90S captured by ISIS, but even
The 3BM46 armor-piercing projectile, known as the most powerful in Russia...
It also failed to penetrate the thick front armor of VT-4.
In terms of actual hit rate, the veteran tank crews on the ISIS side actually hit more shells. However, their shells were not powerful, and all armor-piercing shells failed.
The biggest result was that a grenade was used to destroy the external sighting device of a VT-4. The maintenance company is currently replacing parts and it can be repaired in a few hours.
The Iranian tank crew who rushed into battle unexpectedly relied on their equipment superiority to make a comeback. They overturned three T-72s in one go and even lifted the Tianling cover of one T-72. This battle greatly increased the Iranian army's confidence in the VT-4.
But it made the Russian army very angry.
Several Iranian tank soldiers in front of Zhou Qingfeng were laughing and joking. When they saw him, a Chinese officer, they gave a thumbs up and praised the VT-4. But in the distance, several Russian officers who rushed over were talking about the destroyed T-4.
72 After researching and processing, it seems like I have a headache and I don’t know what to do?
The war reporters accompanying the army have taken a large number of on-site videos and photos, and even interviewed Iranian officers and soldiers participating in the war. If the Russian personnel's faces were not too dark, they would even ask Mao Xiong what he thought of the destruction of his own tank.
?
Russia does not allow reporters to take pictures of the destroyed T-72 on the battlefield, but the existing news materials are enough for the rabbit reporter who came to Syria to show his face. The current star tank is the one that took two consecutive shells.
VT-4.
The reporter walked around the tank and took pictures again and again. The grooves on the turret made by the armor-piercing projectiles were like exploding metal mud. It looked shocking, but it failed to penetrate the inside of the turret. In addition to the armor-piercing projectiles, a grenade hit the turret.
The violent explosion destroyed the turret's exposed sighting equipment and caused great damage to the VT-4. But this alone failed to have any impact on the members inside the tank. Those guys were eating in front of Zhou Qingfeng.
.
Just a photo of the damage to the VT-4 is enough for the Rabbit Army to brag about for a long time. It was not a serious problem after being hit by two shells, and it was able to fight again after a few hours of repair. This is a guarantee of quality!
The major players who originally had a great impression of VT-4 are even more excited about this. They have compared the defense capabilities of VT-4 at the Abu Dhabi Defense Exhibition before, and now they can see that it has withstood the test of actual combat.
.
For this reason, Rabbit's Norinco would like to immediately issue a medal to the Iranian military. Because compared to the Iranian order of 50 tanks, the big dog needs to replace more than 400 main battle tanks. With the character of the big dog who is not short of money, this
It’s a big order with a lot of profit, and you can sell a lot of supporting services.
Now the vice president of Norinco is discussing with the prince of the oil tycoon. While chatting and laughing, he can't help but feel a little worried about the front line. He only hopes that VT-4 will remain undefeated before the business is completed, otherwise it will be a bit troublesome.
You know, the Middle East is a very evil place!
It has a large population but barren land, poor resources but rich in oil. There are constant wars but extremely poor quality. More importantly, the army here is rubbish, and no matter how good the weapons are, they will be in trouble here.
For example, Yingjiang's "Abrams" was rampant all over the world, but in the hands of big dogs, it was defeated by the guerrillas.
For example, Mao Xiong’s T-90S boasted so much that it was abandoned by the Syrian government forces to the rebels.
Another example is the Type 69 that Rabbit sold to Iraq. It was turned into scrap metal during the Gulf War, which made Rabbit military industry unable to raise its head for many years.
Now, finally, VT-4 is starting to become popular around the world, so be sure to keep its reputation!
Zhou Qingfeng had no way of grasping the mentality of the vice president of Norinco. He only knew that he had just finished dinner and before he had eaten, ISIS suddenly launched a large-scale night attack!
