T-72 tanks are standing in a corner of the shooting range. As the protagonist of the first two-year tank competition, these tanks were painted dark green, and they can be seen clearly on the yellow-brown surface.
.
At this time, just in front of these tanks, a group of people formed a circle. Some of them were carrying cameras, some were holding cameras, and some were holding microphones. They were working seriously there. They were all using their bright and bright eyes.
God's eyes looked at the man in the middle of the circle.
At this time, the man was standing on the T-72 tank, condescendingly, introducing it to everyone.
When Nie Qianqian arrived here, the speech had already begun. Looking at the old man with white hair explaining there, Nie Qianqian was also full of emotion. Did you see it? This game was actually to promote their tanks.
Now, the engineers here in Damao have begun to brag about the performance of their tanks.
Nie Qianqian knew that the old man was Kartsev's successor, Venetirykotov, the current chief designer of Lower Tagil. At this time, he focused on their T-72 tanks from Lower Tagil.
Although it has been changed to the name T-90, it is obvious that this method cannot deceive the eyes of military workers in the world. Even military fans can't deceive them. If you want to prove the advanced performance of this tank, you still have to show the real performance of this kind of tank.
The strength of this tank is so Venetikotov explained here, focusing on the protection of this tank.
The T-72 tank of Iran was embarrassing in that war. At the beginning, the Soviets did not think that it was a big deal. After all, the Soviets never sold weapons, but waited for customers to come.
When the customer comes, he still needs to reduce the weapons in his hands and sell them to the customer. This is a typical style of bullying customers by a big shop.
When the Soviet Union was bombarded, Da Mao was also happy at first, thinking that he could finally develop after breaking away from the shackles of the Soviet Union, but soon he felt something was wrong. Their military industry began to plummet. Without orders, the military industry would be
The wages cannot be paid, a large number of factories went bankrupt and workers were laid off. When they had orders, there were no familiar workers to make them, forming a terrible vicious cycle.
In this vicious cycle, many of Damao's military industries went bankrupt. The most regrettable thing is the Migoyang Design Bureau. In the Soviet era, the Sukhoi Design Bureau organized land air defense fighter jets, and the Migoyang Design Bureau organized
Frontline fighter jets, Sukhoi Design Bureau is unknown, while Migoyang Design Bureau is famous all over the world. What's the result? Now the Su-27 is selling well, and no one wants the Migo-29. In this way, Migoyang Design Bureau is now unable to expose the blame.
Tagil didn't want to follow Mi Gaoyang's footsteps. They had to find a way. The current tank competition is like this.
Remember the URL
The monkey-style tank exported to Iran has poor protection, but the Soviet Union's own use is definitely not bad.
Back then, the T72 was actually compared with the M60 series tanks, and planned to sweep Europe by relying on its numerical advantage like the T-34 tank. Unfortunately, Damao now does not have this ability.
In the fifth Middle East War, Israel's M111 armor-piercing bombs were in the limelight, and the Soviets began to be alert. Soon, they obtained the complete Israeli Magach main battle tank captured on the battlefield and its supporting M111 armor-piercing bombs.
Back to the live-fire test of Kubinka test site, it was found that this M111 armor-piercing projectile was enough to penetrate the front armor of the T72 tank at a distance of 2,000 meters. It was already 100% at a distance of 1,000 meters.
Bai breaks through.
So the Soviet engineers quickly took action and changed the armor of the T-72 tank, from three to five, including two high-strength steel outer layers, two GRP middle layers and one high-strength steel inner layer.
.At the same time, they also added 16mm thick additional armor to the outer layer of the front armor. It was named T72M1. In theory, this tank can block the M111, but not long after, the Israelis created a new M413 tail wing.
The stable shell-out armor-piercing bomb has increased its power by about 20% compared to the M111 model, so the T-72 tank is backward again.
At this time, Tagil had no choice but to apply for a more powerful composite armor material for the subsequent model of T72, that is, the ceramic composite armor on the T-80. However, the top management did not agree. After all, that thing was too expensive. T
-72 is a low-end product, and this expensive high-end material cannot be used.
So, they could only find a different approach and replace the armor on the front of the vehicle body with the original composite armor structure of homogeneous steel armor plus fiber fiber interlayer with an 8-layer composite armor structure of homogeneous steel armor plus special rubber plates, etc.
.At the same time, they have also made improvements to the protection of the turret. Although they are still made of one-time casting, the space required for subsequent installation of collision armor when casting the turret has been reserved in advance, and then the whole piece is placed in
Layer composite expansion armor.
The tank made in this way is the T-72B tank. Theoretically, the protection is actually not low. Compared with the monkey version of the T-72 that was slandered as a sand tank, it is completely two different tanks.
It's right.
Now Netikotov introduces the protection of this tank: "Our tank armor consists of 15 mm thick high hardness homogeneous steel armor plates, 10 mm thick special rubber plates, and a type of containing
Titanium 8mm thick alloy metal sheets are superimposed and pressed. This multi-layer structure uses the advanced bulletproof concept. When the armor-piercing missile flies over, it will encounter sandwich plates of different hardness and density.
It will be repeatedly impacted inside, which will lose a large amount of armor-piercing bomb kinetic energy and ultimately achieve the goal of interception. Well, let me introduce it to you to a simple introduction, which is to spread the impact force condensed at a point to a surface, with the hit point as the center
The surrounding armor share the impact kinetic energy. Therefore, even if there is only the main armor, we can block most of the armor-piercing bombs in the world, not to mention, our tank also has a layer of explosion reaction armor, which is already ours.
The latest generation of products can provide quite strong anti-armour piercing bomb capabilities.”
The mobility and the performance of the fire control system can be demonstrated in the next two tank competitions, so before the start of the competition, the first thing to brag about is its protection.
At this time, the tank behind him was covered with a layer of brick-like explosion reaction armor, which looked majestic, just like the armor worn by ancient soldiers in wars.
