For howitzers, there are many types of bullets, and flares are naturally one of them.
In modern wars, flares are not used much. The function of flares is to release them at night, illuminating the sky like daytime, so that they can meet the needs of night combat, such as fighting a certain fortification of the enemy.
By this light, you can find the target and determine the location coordinates.
However, doing this can also allow the enemy to see himself. In order to see the enemy clearly without exposing his own goals, night vision technology is becoming more and more popular now.
The initial night vision technology began in World War II. At that time, it was just an infrared headlight illumination solution. This solution has been used for a long time, and some tanks are still in use now.
However, advanced ones have also appeared. Infrared imaging is one of them and the best night vision equipment. At night, using infrared rays to find the traces of enemies can be said to be the most mature and suitable.
However, although the use of flares is getting less and less, it is also a must-have type of howitzers. Now, it has finally been considered an opportunity.
Want to find someone at night? It's easy to say, let's see my cannon to take a look at you. The cannon, which was originally a powerful weapon for killing, has now turned into a lighting tool and has become a good helper for rescue, which is also an unexpected effect.
After hearing Qin Zhenhua's introduction, Ibrahim's eyes suddenly lit up. No matter how bright the searchlight is, it is not as good as the flares. Yes, just use the flares to illuminate!
"Now, we will allocate their own lighting areas according to the range of each artillery." Looking at the other people who looked unhappy, Qin Zhenhua's face was very calm and serious. We are looking for someone now. You can put your own flares
Take out all the range.
Do you still dare to say that the range is useless?
The M109 howitzer's flare has the closest range, only a dozen kilometers! Then it was French, British, and Rainbow Country, and it also participated, except for the Eastern powers, with the longest range.
With different ranges, you can divide the areas you want to illuminate.
It was already dark, and the convoys who went out to search still found nothing.
"Request for lighting in Area 13." A search vehicle was on the high sand dunes, shining in front of two lights with the light of the headlights. A guide from the Waterless Country holding a radio in his hand began to request.
"Flame, shoot!"
The M109 howitzer first opened fire and fired towards a nearby area. The traced grenade warhead cut through the night sky, and a bright line appeared, flying towards the distance in the eyes of everyone.
There was a shiny scene in the distance.
With the help of light, the search team continued to search, and at the same time, the silent competition began again.
The flares are also technologically compatible!
If you want to lighting, you must need special lighting devices, which are called lighting agents. They are mainly metal combustibles, oxides and adhesives, etc.
The most common metal combustible substances are the same as those of ancient camera flashes, using magnesium powder and aluminum powder. When these things are mixed and burned, they can generate high temperatures of thousands of degrees Celsius and emit dazzling light.
However, these are all but not enough. Combustion requires oxygen. This continuous combustion requires a lot of oxygen. This is achieved through oxides, generally barium nitrate or sodium nitrate. They can emit a large amount of oxygen when burning, which accelerates the
Magnesium and aluminum powder burn to enhance luminous brightness.
These are all powdery. In order to combine these together, there is also a binder. This kind of thing is generally made of natural dry oil, rosin, shellac and other raw materials. In addition to bonding the agent together, it also has a lot of more
The important thing is to play a slow burning effect, otherwise it will be burned all at once, and it will only take a few seconds. After taking a shower, it will fall back.
The brightness, duration of the flare, and the color of the flame are all objects of comparison!
Qin Zhenhua looked down at his watch. The flares burned for about a minute, which was already pretty good.
"Report, Area 27 needs lighting!"
Finally it was his turn to request. Qin Zhenhua waved his hand and heard a loud bang. His howitzer fired the shells again.
The warhead flew into the sky and drew an arc. Just as everyone was watching, the shell flew over area 27. Then, the time fuse began to ignite, ignited the ejection drug, and the ejection drug threw the illuminating agent and the parachute.
Outside the bomb, the parachute slowly opened.
A lighting box was hanging under the parachute and slowly descended. At the same time, the lighting agent began to burn, and in the field of vision, there was a ray of light everywhere.
You can see it thirty kilometers away!
When the flare started to work, many people were watching, watching the flares igniting there, the brightness was obviously higher than the other flares.
Moreover, it lasts for a long time!
One minute passed, and it was still illuminating. Two minutes passed, and it was still illuminating!
This is simply the day lights to be used!
The great powers of the East lack night vision devices. In order to pull the enemy to their own level, they can only work harder in this regard.
So what if the enemy's night vision device is powerful? When the flare is hit, everyone is on the same level. If you are lucky, you may even burn the enemy's night vision device, and maybe you may even blind the enemy.
Where are the eyes?
The flares were still landing slowly, and the search team finally saw something with the help of the light.
"Then, there's a car over there!"
Derek drove away, so if you want to search for Derek, you must first search for that car!
Just after seeing the car, everyone was ecstatic and searched for the car to go there. When the light of the flares dimmed and disappeared, the light of the headlights had already locked the car firmly.
It's right.
As we get closer and closer, we can see that one of the tires has broken. No wonder the other party loses here. If you drive alone, you will always encounter problems.
Hope Derek doesn't leave!
The search car passed quickly, but his mood gradually became depressed again. After the car broke down, Derek actually left the car and walked on foot!
This guy is really looking for death. If he stays in the car, it will be easy to find him. After all, he has a big goal. Where did he go by himself?
"Please give another flare, let's look for footprints!"
