The first thousand three hundred and sixty chapters are not amazing
In combat, Israeli tank soldiers first began to use reactive armor to protect their own safety, which gave the Soviets great confidence, so they began to develop various reactive armors to protect their own safety.
Other Western countries are not very interested in reacting armor, which of course makes sense.
Western tanks are very large, and their turrets are already welded turrets, so they mainly take the path of composite armor, especially the Chobam armor created by the British, although it is very bulky, but the protective effect is said to be
Very good. Since the main armor is strong enough, there is naturally no need for additional reactive armor to increase protection.
The Soviet Union was different.
The Soviet Union had a more stubborn habit than the Eastern powers. The Soviet army was the most powerful and mainstream. They didn't like to adapt. They liked to cast the smooth shape of the turret, and they also strictly limited the weight of the tanks, and did not like the tanks.
The volume is too large, so it is difficult for Soviet tanks to continue to increase protection in terms of limited volume and weight.
Therefore, the Soviets were also developing explosive reaction armor.
Once this armor comes out, it is very simple to add extra protection to the tank. Just add a rack outside the turret and directly screw the screws to explode the reaction armor. It is the simplest and most practical. Now, looking at the other party's cast turret,
Of course, Qin Zhenhua has to start analyzing their armor protection.
Besides, this is no secret. According to the photos taken by NATO, the T-80 tanks used by the Soviet army have begun to install such additional modules. Moreover, the Eastern Powers themselves have created several explosion reactions.
Some of the armor, some have even been upgraded to the 59 tank, have begun to be marketed to the outside world.
The T-80 already has it? The T-72 is of course no exception. Hearing Qin Zhenhua's words, Kartsev nodded: "That's right? We are currently developing a new generation of explosive reaction armor? We are ready to install it on our tanks.
, Can it be used as an additional armor protection? Protect the tank crew."
Now, although the T-80 tank has used explosion reaction armor? This product, codenamed "Contact"-1, is a mature and exquisitely designed explosion reaction armor. Its outermost layer is a thinner metal shell
?The interior is a working component composed of throwing plates thrown outward and a back plate, explosives and fixtures thrown inward.
When fighting armor-breaking bombs using metal jets, it has a good protective effect and can destroy powerful metal jets. If converted, it can provide the ability to resist armor-breaking bombs of more than 400 mm, making this weapon completely lose its attack.
Ability to wear tanks.
However, it can only protect against armor-piercing bombs, and increase protection by tearing metal jets, interfering with their paths, and destroying their material principles. However, in the world, the mainstream armor-piercing weapons are already stable shell-piercing bombs in the tail wing. If you want to use explosion
Reactive armor to defend against this weapon? It is not easy. Explosives are not sensitive to ordinary impacts. They can only be detonated by increasing the temperature, but the speed of the armor-piercing rod is only 1/5 of the metal jet. It is difficult to effectively detonate the explosive reaction armor;
Moreover, the metal jet velocity is high but the density is low. It is easy to be disturbed or destroyed, but the armor-piercing rod is a hard guy with high strength. It is difficult for ordinary throwing plates/backboards to break such a hard penetration body, so use
It is not easy to fight armor-piercing bombs.
However, the Soviet military R&D personnel were quite smart. When they encountered problems, they could find a way to solve the problem.
After further research, the new Contact-5 explosion reaction armor unit has been made in the Institute of Steel Materials in Moscow. The design idea of this module is also very clever, and it is wrapped in a high-hardness steel shell.
The explosion reaction armor unit is similar to "Contact"-1. Each unit has a 10-15 mm thick plate and back plate. In this way, when the armor-piercing rod is penetrated, the "Contact"-5 plate is thrown.
The back plate is reversely moved together with the upper and lower steel shells to complete the destruction process of the armor-piercing rod.
The principle of this reaction is somewhat similar to the constraint-type composite armor, and the researched results are quite good.
However, it has not been equipped on tanks yet, after all, it is still a new product. Moreover, in recent years, the country's fiscal expenditure has gradually shrunk, and the funds used in the army have gradually become short of. Moreover, after placing the explosion reaction armor, the tanks have
The self-weight will increase. If the power of the tank engine is not increased, it will lead to a decrease in the tank's maneuverability.
Therefore, in this regard, Tagill plans to increase the power to 920 horsepower after the updated B-92 engine is built, and then use this device.
Now, Qin Zhenhua's words are a test. No matter how they boasted, it is far from enough to use ceramic balls and other things in the middle when pouring the turret. So Qin Zhenhua said this,
Kartsev's face tightened, then relaxed, and said, "Yes, we plan to hang explosive reaction armor on it. It is one of our great inventions and the result of a revolution in the history of tank development.
Just like our T-64 tanks first used composite armor."
No matter when, we must not forget to brag, and the Soviets have the capital to brag.
Since the beginning of the Cold War, the Soviets' sea of tanks has always been a nightmare existence for the West. When the T-64 emerged, it was at least ten years ahead of the West.
It uses 125mm tank guns, automatic ammunition loaders, etc., which are all revolutionary. Its protection is not weak, and it uses self-developed composite armor.
Of course, this kind of armor can only be used on the body of the vehicle, and it cannot be used on the turret. It is just that when casting, some ceramic balls are mixed in it.
Now, after showing off, he turned the topic back again: "I don't know how the Eastern powers solved the problem of protection. Is the main armor and the explosion reaction armor used together?"
While chatting, both sides were testing each other, placing each other's words to see what they could say. During this process, Qin Zhenhua always spoke in a state of endless endless death.
"We believe that explosion reaction armor is just a transitional product. If you want to truly achieve perfect defense of tanks, you should take the initiative to counterattack. When the opposite shell comes, we fire an interceptor shell and directly drive the shells flying from the opposite side.
Blow it up, so that our tanks will be absolutely safe.”
