The gun barrel directly fires the missile, saving the missile launcher. At the same time, when launching, there is a cartridge behind it. When going out, it directly gives an initial speed and saves the fuel from the rocket engine.
So, the benefits are many.
Of course, there are many problems. If you want to solve the problem of missile launching from the barrel, you must first overcome the acceleration during launch. This is also the reason why the gun-fired missiles used in the early days are all low-bore compression guns. The chamber pressure is low and the caliber
It must be big, otherwise the gunfire missiles will not be plugged in.
However, in this way, the barrel is dedicated and the advantages no longer exist.
The Soviets solved this problem. They first developed the 9M112 missile and successfully launched it out of the T-64's tank gun barrel. However, this shell was guided by radio commands and was very backward, so quickly,
The 9M119 appeared, and it was finally practical with laser guidance.
Now, the Soviet tanks are mixed with several gun-fired missiles.
Its biggest feature is its long range.
Soviet tank guns had poor accuracy and were almost impossible to fire at two thousand meters away. After using gunfire missiles, there was no problem with three to four thousand meters. In this way, they finally reached the same level as NATO.
The 120mm rifled gun that the British made more than 20 years ago can already shoot accurately from three thousand meters away. Naturally, it is to deal with Soviet tanks. The Europeans' ideas are almost the same, just relying on long-range shooting.
When you come to kill the enemy, the enemy cannot reach you.
In the past, Soviet tank soldiers could only cover their heads and charge in one breath. Then they won. But now, there is finally no need. Soviet tanks have their own tricks from a long distance.
In addition to the long range, another advantage is its great power. Cannon-launched missiles adopt the killing method of metal jets. When the armor-piercing projectiles of tank guns are not strong, cannon-launched missiles are easy to achieve breakthroughs and can easily
The armor-piercing ability of homogeneous steel with a value of 600 to 700 mm is far better than that of ordinary shells. When this gun-piercing missile code-named 9M119 continues to develop, with an M suffix, the armor-piercing ability is even more
It has made a rapid progress, reaching a magnificent number of 900 mm. After all, this metal jet attack method is much easier to increase the depth of penetration than a tank shell.
However, the gun-launched missile technology is advanced, so the Soviets are also hiding it. This time, they showed the T-80 tank and at the same time they were going to show their gun-launched missiles!
Everyone raised their telescopes and looked at the tank in the distance. They saw it suddenly stopping while it was moving, and then, with a bang, the muzzle was filled with fire.
The other party did not fire while moving?
Even Qin Zhenhua felt a little contemptuous.
The fireball at the muzzle was not large, which shows that the Soviet tank guns did not use much charge when firing missiles.
Just as everyone was concerned, the missile spread out four small tail wings, four fins stretched out from the front, and flew out.
If the shells are out, it is difficult to catch them with the naked eye. After all, the shells fly very quickly and they pass by in a short while, but the missiles are fired differently. After going out, the flight speed is only about three or four hundred meters per second.
At the same time, the rocket engine at the tail of the gun-fired missile began to ignite, and it was easy to capture it with white light.
After just flying out, like ordinary anti-tank missiles, this missile was floating up and down. The initial flight status was not stable. After almost one thousand meters, the missile's flight seemed much more stable. Then,
The missile continued to fly forward, and as everyone was concerned, it flew towards the target.
Getting closer and closer, the target uses a metal target. Once it hits, there will be a brilliant metal jet burning through the target. At the same time, in order to show the performance, the target is placed inclined to convert the thickness
It is 500 mm in total.
"Look at it, this is our gunfire missile, which is expensive. Today is an exception to perform for you." Yazov, who was standing by, was still introducing it endlessly.
This is not wrong. After all, the advantages of gun-launched missiles have also been mentioned. The first major disadvantage of this gun-launched missile is that it is expensive!
Missiles have never been cheap. Although tungsten alloy warheads and depleted uranium warheads made with special processes are not cheap, the price of gunfire missiles is still four or five times that of ordinary armor-piercing missiles.
Therefore, even the most elite tank troops will only be equipped with four or five gunfire missiles during wars. If there are too many, they will not be worthy of it. Even the Soviets who never care about the cost will not do it.
.
Suddenly, Yazov's voice stopped, and the cannon-fired missile actually rubbed against the edge of the target and flew away.
Off-target?
Everyone was stunned and watched the cannon-fired missile continue to fly forward, and then chose to self-detonate at the end of the route.
boom!
The missile's warhead exploded and a flower bloomed. Everyone was surprised. How could it be off the target?
Even Qin Zhenhua did not expect that, after all, this was already a mature Soviet technology and the most exquisite tank soldiers were used to operate. How could it be off the target?
Qin Zhenhua just wanted to see the other party's gun-fired missiles, so he was a little excited just now. He definitely didn't want to see the Soviet tank soldiers making a fool of themselves.
"It seems that it is probably a debugging problem." Qin Zhenhua said: "Do you want us to help and detect the fault?"
In fact, it has been negotiated with the Molozov Design Bureau. A T-80UD will be secretly brought to the Eastern Power, so Qin Zhenhua is not urgent. He will definitely be able to contact the T-80 tank in the future.
I will study it carefully inside and out. However, now I see that I have the opportunity, if the other party wants, I will go up and help, and then study the T-80 tank of this gas turbine.
"My wife is a top-notch fire control expert in China." After saying that, Qin Zhenhua looked at Wang Xiaoyu next to her again. She was always quiet, watching more and talking less, and she was always studying and analyzing in her mind.
"Thank you for your kindness, we can solve this problem." Yazov said: "It's still late today, and everyone must be hungry, so let's go to the cafeteria at the base to have a meal first."
If this happens, you will definitely not be able to perform anymore, so you can just take everyone to have a meal first.
Seeing the other party making a fool of himself, everyone could not be aggressive. After his kindness was rejected, the group went to the cafeteria at the base.
