Compared with other infantry fighting vehicles of this era, the M2 infantry fighting vehicles are indeed heavy enough. After all, the lesson learned by the Americans from the war in the Monkey Kingdom is that human lives are the most precious, in order to protect their personnel.
It is natural to thicken life and armor. This infantry fighting vehicle weighs more than 20 tons, which is used to protect its weight. In order to reduce its weight, they even used aluminum alloy in luxury.
The front radical of this infantry fighting vehicle uses 5083 aluminum alloy, the front upper and top armor of the turret are steel armor, the side tilt armor uses 7039 aluminum alloy, the rear of the vehicle and the two
The side vertical armor is gap armor. For tanks, the most important thing is the armor in front of the vehicle body, but infantry fighting vehicles are different. Infantry fighting vehicles often face side and back strikes, so they are on the side and back, which is
After some thought, this gap armor is more complicated, from the outside to the inside, with five layers, 6.35 mm thick steel armor on the outside, followed by 25.4 mm gap, followed by 6.35 mm thick steel armor, and then
Another gap of 88.9 mm, the last layer is a 25.4 mm aluminum armor back plate, which makes it into armor with a total thickness of 152.4 mm.
After various protective measures, this infantry fighting vehicle achieved the goal of protecting against 14.5mm gun bullets and 155mm shell fragments. After all, for an infantry fighting vehicle, it mainly faces the enemy's infantry counterattack, with a 14.5mm caliber.
It is hard to encounter firearms.
Other ordinary infantry fighting vehicles are at most just to guard against 12.7mm machine gun shooting. If a 14.5mm machine gun is fired, it will definitely be holes.
James was complacent when he said this. As an American, he was quite confident in the United States' own weapons. The M2 infantry fighting vehicle that advanced with the tanks was naturally the same. It would give people
A sense of security.
"The protection ability is very high?" Qin Zhenhua asked: "Can we prevent the shooting of our 25mm machine gun?"
Qin Zhenhua said, pointing to the turret on the top of the heavy infantry fighting vehicle that was dismantled, and asked seriously.
What weapons are used in infantry fighting vehicles depends on the specific needs. The Type 63 infantry fighting vehicles commonly used by the Eastern powers were just equipped with an anti-aircraft machine gun, while the Soviet BMP infantry fighting vehicles used.
The 73mm low-pressure smoothbore gun reflects the principle of firepower first.
Due to the long-term backward military research and development, the Eastern powers could not have come up with any advanced weapons. However, when they had good relations with the West a few years ago, they introduced a lot of Western technologies and developed two infantry types.
The weapons used on the chariot were taken directly from the West. The female H-1 infantry fighting vehicle at that time had the fastest progress. The 25mm machine gun used on it was taken directly by a machine factory and installed it on its own.
On heavy infantry fighting chariot.
Although it is a product from the UK, in fact, this machine gun and the M242 machine gun currently installed on the M2 infantry fighting vehicle are of a type. James naturally knew its performance. At this time, he heard Qin Zhenhua's question.
James immediately looked dissatisfied: "Chief Qin, how is this possible? How can infantry fighting vehicles block the shooting of the 25mm machine gun?"
M242 machine gun has powerful performance. It is specially designed to shoot a special shell-removing tail wing stable armor-piercing projectile. The muzzle fire rate can reach 1,345 meters per second. It can penetrate 25 mm thin uniform with an inclination of 30 degrees at a shooting distance of 1,300 meters.
If the steel armor is placed at a distance of 500 meters, the armor-piercing ability will be even stronger. It can be said that if you fire at your own M2 infantry fighting vehicle, it will be a big hole in one blow!
Even in this war, there were rumors that the 25mm machine gun on the M2 infantry fighting vehicle had blown up the T-55 tank. Of course, this must be a rumor. No matter how powerful it is, it is not.
Maybe the tank was penetrated. No matter how weak the T-55 was, it had to be penetrated by the enemy's tank gun. The rumormonger also said that it was the 25mm machine gun of the infantry fighting vehicle at that time, and kept firing, constantly
Although the final result of ground shooting is still to be verified, at least it shows that this kind of machine gun is quite powerful.
I’m using the book-chasing app I’ve been using recently, [app] to cache reading and read offline!
Just kidding, how can infantry fighting vehicles block the shooting of 25mm machine guns? Isn’t that a forceful person?
"Ours are OK." Qin Zhenhua said: "As an infantry combat vehicle, if you can't even defend against a 25mm machine cannon, then what's the infantry combat vehicle? How to ensure the safety of the infantry inside? If you encounter an enemy
Isn’t the infantry fighting vehicle being bombarded into scum?”
Judging from the role of infantry fighting vehicles, the earliest infantry fighting vehicles were tasked with carrying infantry and charging with the tank troops. It would not charge to the front line, but just hide behind the tank. When infantry needed, infantry would
You can get off the car to fight. At this time, infantry fighting vehicles are actually armored conveyors.
However, with the continuous development of the times, the requirements for infantry fighting vehicles are getting higher and higher. Since you are equipped with infantry, you have to ensure the safety of infantry. Otherwise, what's the use? Will you be taken away in one fell swoop?
Moreover, it is impossible for infantry fighting vehicles to follow the butt of the tank all the time. What if you suddenly encounter an enemy infantry fighting vehicles?
Moreover, street fighting has not started yet. If Americans in later generations need more and more urban combat needs, the requirements for the protection of infantry fighting vehicles will be even higher.
Now, the American M2 infantry fighting vehicle will definitely not be able to stop the shooting of the 25mm machine gun.
However, the great powers of the East can.
As soon as Qin Zhenhua said this, Ibrahim's eyes lit up.
What do people value most? Of course, it is also the life of soldiers. The richer the country, the more they cherish the life of their own country. In order to ensure the safety of soldiers' lives, they will take whatever conditions are.
.
Since the infantry fighting vehicles of the Eastern power can block the shooting of 25mm machine guns, there is no doubt that the protection is stronger.
"How is that possible?" James said: "I don't believe it."
At this time, the entire infantry fighting vehicle had been removed from the outside, and the outline of the entire car body appeared in front of everyone. Looking at the familiar five pairs of heavy-bearing wheels below, James frowned a little, but it was just five pairs of heavy-bearing wheels.
The above is completely different, there is only a small turret, with a large slope on the front, and there is also a passage for up and down infantry behind. It is said that it was not modified by the T-54 tank, otherwise, there would be an engine behind.
However, if this infantry fighting vehicle could block the shooting of a 25mm machine gun, he still didn't believe it unless... it weighed more than thirty tons.
Thinking of this, James' eyelids suddenly thumped twice, and he asked, "How heavy is this infantry fighting vehicle?"
"Thirty-two tons." Qin Zhenhua said: "If there is no weight of thirty tons, how dare you say that you are a heavy infantry fighting vehicle?"
