The protection principle of explosion reaction armor is very simple. When an anti-tank weapon is fired from the outside world, this armor itself detonates itself and relies entirely on this explosion to protect itself.
Therefore, it is easy to protect the energy-concentrating warhead. The energy-concentrating warhead relies on metal jets. After the explosion reaction armor is attacked by the metal jet, it explodes directly. The power of the explosion directly causes the metal jets to be directly affected.
It was blown away, and the metal jet burned through the technical armor, relying on a bunch of fine gatherings. Now, it suddenly exploded and was in all directions, so it naturally lost its power.
However, if it is a kinetic energy bomb, the protection of the explosion-reactive armor is much worse. It is difficult to shake this kinetic energy bomb by explosion. Therefore, the initial explosion-reactive armor can only be protected from armor-breaking bombs.
The use of armor-piercing bombs cannot be prevented, and the effectiveness of the armor is very limited. However, later, with the development of technology, by improving the structure of the explosion reaction armor, it also has the performance of protecting armor-piercing bombs.
Of course, the protection effect for different types of bullets is also different. Therefore, when we talk about the equivalent protection of your armor, we must specify what weapon it is, the ability to prevent wear and break, completely
It's different. If you just talk about your equivalent protection without saying anything, then you will definitely be a nonsense.
However, although explosion reaction armor can improve its protection, it still has many shortcomings. If you look at the arrangement of explosion reaction armor in this era, you can find a big problem. The explosion reaction armor of various countries is not one by one and the other by another.
They are closely arranged, but there are certain gaps between them, so it looks like a piece of bricks installed outside the armor.
Why can't you arrange it tightly? Is it because of screwing the screw? Of course not. The most important problem is to be afraid of chain reactions.
At that time, the explosion reaction armor was developed for many years before it was successful. It was because of various problems. The first was the insensitivity explosives. The armor-piercing bombs must be brought to explode. If the machine gun bullets come, it will explode, then
On the battlefield, when a machine gun fires, the explosion reaction armor outside is scrapped.
This sudden explosive was studied for many years before it finally achieved a breakthrough. It could only be an armor-piercing weapon that would detonate. However, it is still unsafe. If the two explosion-reaction armors are too close, then
After an explosion, it will also detonate the nearby explosion reaction armor.
Therefore, the explosion reaction armors that have been developed by various countries cannot be arranged closely one by one, but must flow out a certain gap to prevent explosions and large pieces.
In this way, its protection will be limited. When the armor-piercing missile flew over, it may hit the explosion reaction armor, and it may also hit the gap between the two explosion reaction armors. If it is the latter
If that means there is no protection.
Therefore, if you really go to the battlefield, it depends on luck. If you are lucky, the explosion reaction armor blocked it. If you are not lucky, you will hit the gap and directly penetrate the tank main armor.
In this way, the explosion reaction armor has great restrictions. Western tanks pay attention to the protection of the main armor and are full of confidence in their main armor. Therefore, the West has not used explosion reaction armor on modern third-generation tanks.
Increase protection.
The tanks of the Eastern Power did not use explosive reaction armor at the beginning. They were still displayed in their original form at the National Day parade, so that the V-shaped structure at the front of the vehicle was considered to be evidence of plagiarism of the T-72.
(However, in the later stage, the surface of the third generation of tanks of the Eastern Powers became flat. If you look closely, you can see that the main armor and turrets have gaps, which divide the surface into block shapes.
In fact, it is the explosion reaction armor plugged in by the Eastern Powers, but it no longer needs gaps and can be arranged closely.)
The Eastern Powers have always been pursuing their own tank protection. At the beginning, the Eastern Powers only valued firepower because there was no way. When all three elements were lacking, they could only pay attention to firepower first. After all,
Tanks are weapons and warfare, but now, with the development of technology, when other factors can be taken care of, they will inevitably take care of the mobility and protection of the tank.
Now, a new type of explosion reaction armor has finally appeared!
Lao Cao, who is in his mouth, has been tirelessly studying explosion reaction armor technology in China, hoping to provide stronger protection for tanks, and now, it has finally achieved results!
"Is that true?" Qin Zhenhua was also very excited when he heard Mr. Zhu's words: "It's okay to arrange it tightly without intervals. That's great. Even if we gain two or three tons of weight for this, we can accept it. This is comparable
Our reaction-2 explosion reaction armor is much better!”
The first explosion reaction armor officially put into service in the Eastern power is Reaction-2. It is the same as the explosion reaction armor of the Soviets. It uses the most basic throwing structure and can only be guarded against ordinary energy-gathering warheads. It is only considered
After solving the problem of existence or not, the 59 tank can be hung outside, but almost no other tanks are planned to be equipped. However, now, this new type of explosion reaction armor provides a new option.
"It can't increase too much weight. This explosion reaction armor is only a few kilograms per piece. Even if it is covered with tanks, it will only increase by half a ton." Old Zhu's face was filled with joy: "It has been completely used
Different structures have very thin thickness, but strong protection."
The 99 tank is still imperfect, but it only solves the problem of existence or not. Therefore, after the military parade is completed, the improvement of the 99 tank continues. Now, with the emergence of this explosion-reactive armor, the protection of the 99 tank is
, it will definitely go up to another level.
It was because of this that Mr. Zhu came to Qin Zhenhua. The improvement of the three generations of tanks in the future will fall on Qin Zhenhua and Wang Xiaoyu. Now, no matter what happens, they have to be involved.
"In the modification of our tank, we can use this explosion reaction armor." Qin Zhenhua said: "However, even if it is half a ton of weight, it will be increased. In order to make our tanks better performance, we still have to think about it.
The way is to either increase the power or reduce the weight of the tank."
(No one knows whether this additional armor is explosion reaction armor or composite armor. This should be considered a military secret. The hero of East China wrote it as explosion reaction armor. Please don’t complain if you think it is composite armor.)
