If it is a regular war, of course the artillery shells must be carried into the tank in advance and stuffed one by one. However, in peacetime, this is not necessary at all. One artillery shell is thousands of dollars cheaper.
, it’s tens of thousands expensive, it’s all stuffed, and it won’t be able to get out in five years.
Usually, there are only a few training bombs left in the tank. During the Gulf War, when the menacing Iraqi tank soldiers killed them, the Kuwaiti Army was unable to resist because they were completely unprepared. There were only a few training bombs in the tank.
That's all, resistance is completely useless.
The same is true for the current test. Anyway, you just shoot one shot at a time. If there are more ways to compete, you may fire a few more rounds. If you can shock the opponent at once, it will naturally determine the outcome with one shot.
Our side also required a distance of 2,500 meters. At the same time, it was also for this competition that the precious armor-piercing shell was carried over. And this shell, before it was stuffed into the tank, had already caused the opponent to
of curiosity.
Robert shouted loudly and walked over quickly, and behind him, several technicians walked towards the tank in the same astonishment.
This is against operating procedures and even dangerous. The soldiers responsible for guarding the side already wanted to stop these people. Commander Huang waved his hand grandly: "The shooting is paused. Let our British friends take a look at us first."
of armor-piercing bullets.”
A stinky daughter-in-law always wants to meet her parents-in-law, and if you want to introduce the other party's L7 tank gun at a bargain price, you have to show off your own strength.
Yes, this method works. This was how they were deceived in the UK at first, and now they naturally continue to show their true self.
Looking at the looks of these people, you can tell how surprised they are.
The cannonball was placed vertically on the ground. You can see that the yellow-orange canister is more than half a meter high. On top of it is a bullet holder with a saddle-shaped longitudinal section. Outside the bullet holder, there is a pointed
The sharp warhead was lowered completely, almost reaching the waist of the tank soldier, almost one meter high.
The shells of the 100mm tank gun are almost the limit of a soldier's physical strength. The armor-piercing shell weighs more than 30 kilograms. If it is a grenade, it must weigh more than 40 kilograms. On the bumpy tank, the loader holds the shell and stuffs it into the barrel.
Here, it is definitely a job that combines strength and technology.
Therefore, even a small tank soldier has high physical requirements. The usual training content is to lift artillery shells. After the caliber increased to 120 mm or more, the Soviet Union turned to automatic loaders. After all, Soviet tanks were small in size.
There are all small people inside, which is really difficult for others. However, in the Western world, it relies on big loaders. Especially in the United States, there are a large number of first-class black uncle human flesh loaders, which are enough to meet the demand. There is no need to build automatic machines.
Loading.
Now, Robert is looking at this cannonball, the bullet holder, and the bullet core. The processing technology is very good. It looks quite delicate, like a work of art. The shape of the bullet holder is quite perfect. As for the bullet core, it exudes a kind of
Unusual slightly gray metallic luster.
"This kind of armor-piercing bullet is not an imitation of the T-62 armor-piercing bullet!" Robert said in an incredible tone. Before coming, they had repeatedly discussed that the most advanced tank technology that the Eastern powers had access to was the tank in
The T-62 captured in the battle on a certain island in the north, their smoothbore cannon technology should have been developed from that, and the shells were also corresponding imitations, but now it seems that they are fundamentally different!
"This shell is longer than ours." Joyce, who was following behind, also began to study: "If converted according to equal proportions, the core of the armor-piercing projectile is also longer than ours, but this
How is that possible? How did you do it?”
Even before they fired, just taking out their own artillery shells had already convinced these arrogant British people. Looking at their incredible looks, Commander Huang and others felt quite proud.
Just don't act like you're condescending about helping us. Our own things are no worse than yours.
Qin Zhenhua smiled: "Our artillery shell has a core length of 485 mm and a core diameter of 27 mm. As for how it is done, that is a secret."
We are all experts. If we divide these two data, we can know that the length-to-diameter ratio of the core of this armor-piercing bullet actually reaches 18:1!
In armor-piercing projectiles, this is an important indicator. The performance of Soviet armor-piercing projectiles has always been very poor, because the aspect ratio of their shells has been maintained at around 10 for a long time, and the core is still made of steel. Even if it is
It uses tungsten alloy extravagantly and has a two-stage structure with a cylinder liner in the middle. Its performance is very poor.
The West has been working hard to improve the performance of armor-piercing bullets. For this purpose, they have developed a special liquid phase sintering technology to create a bullet core that is harder than ordinary tungsten carbide. Now, this technology has only just become practical.
It's just a technology that effectively increases the aspect ratio. They absolutely don't believe that this far away eastern country actually has similar technology, and it seems to be better than theirs?
How to do it, of course I can't tell you. If you want to hear it, I'll give you your Chobham armor in exchange. Qin Zhenhua thought in his heart, of course he won't say anything in vain, there is no need to say it.
"Everyone, are you finished reading? Can we start shooting?" Qin Zhenhua asked them.
These people were still endlessly curious about the cannonballs. Joyce sighed there: "The aspect ratio is 18. If the muzzle velocity is enough, then its armor-piercing ability will definitely not be bad."
People are talking about setting up a 350mm standing target, which seems to be a safe bet!
Robert rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "Such a long bullet core can easily break in the middle when attacking an enemy tank. Therefore, I suggest that the target be modified from a vertical target to a slanted target.
, in terms of equivalent conversion, a 150mm target can be placed at an inclination of 65 degrees. Now we are testing firepower, which is to compare real battlefield conditions. The most encountered should be inclined armor. "
When he said this, he said it to the cannonball, as if he was talking to himself, and also on purpose. After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Qin Zhenhua and said, "How do you think? Do you dare? We
