In fact, on the battlefield here, there was already a collision between the two tanks in the east and the west in the desert. However, the technology of both sides of the operation was very poor. No matter how advanced the aiming system was, people would not use it, they would only know.
When they rushed up and aimed with optical sights, this battle could not explain the actual combat effectiveness of Eastern and Western tanks. Moreover, this war was relatively secret. Both sides of the war modified the results of one battle after another.
Now, after seeing the T-72 tanks coming up, the Israeli armored troops finally realized their biggest enemy and finally came on the field!
"M111 armor-piercing bullets, load them!" Carl shouted loudly to his loading hands.
“Recharge is complete!”
"Open fire!"
With his order, a huge roar came, and the entire car body was shaking violently. The smoke that had not been drawn out filled the interior of the turret. The armor-piercing bomb with their hope had already flew out and flew towards it.
The tank opposite!
And just as I was expecting, I saw a sudden brake on the target opposite me!
The T-72 tank is already the most advanced tank in the Rose Kingdom, and their tankers are naturally the most elite. Since they have found that the tanks on the opposite side are firing, of course they need to take some countermeasures.
Moreover, the T-72 tank uses a 780-horsepower engine and has good maneuverability. The M111 armor-piercing bomb that killed no hit the target, while the T-72 tank rushed up again with black smoke.
The M60 tank troops here are also continuing to advance. The brave ones win when they meet on a narrow road. In previous wars, Israel's armored troops have always been moving forward, and the same is true now!
Their tanks started forward and fired the second shell and the third shell again. The tanks on the opposite tank performed a beautiful S-shaped maneuver, causing their shells to be knocked away.
"Damn!" Carl was very annoyed at this time. The biggest advantage of the Israeli armored forces was to attack from a long distance, relying on excellent aiming equipment to kill the opponent. Once the distance was particularly close, they would also be subject to the opponent's firepower.
The threat, especially within a thousand meters, the Soviet tanks were not vegetarians, especially the T-72 tanks coming from the opposite side!
Just last year's Western-81 military exercise, this tank rolled forward, putting great pressure on the entire Western world. Now, watching such tanks advance, a hint of nervousness flashed through Carl's heart.
The unique V-shaped waveproof plate looks so clear in the field of view, and the distance between the two sides has reached within one thousand meters!
"Fire!" Carl shouted loudly. At this time, he had shot several shells away. This time, there could be no more mistakes!
"Boom!" Almost at the same time, the 125mm tank gun on the opposite side also opened fire!
Two armor-piercing bombs were flying in the air, and their curves were even roughly close. When they were in the sky, the closest distance was less than one meter. It seemed that they greeted each other and then, towards their own.
The target passed by.
"Bang!" The M111 armor-piercing projectile first hit the T-72 tank, which hit the smooth turret of the T-72 tank, and then drilled hard inside.
What did you encounter? There is such a great resistance?
That's a layer of quartz sand!
The Soviet T-72 tank is a simplified tank. When designing, costs must be taken into account to facilitate the demand for large-scale exports.
Therefore, it did not use the ceramic balls commonly used on the T-64 tank armor. In front of the cast turret of the T-64, inside the thick cannon shield, there were two rows of expensive ceramic balls evenly arranged, but,
The T-72 tank was replaced with fiberglass, and the outlet turret was replaced with quartz sand!
That's right, it's just a kind of stone.
Is this thing stuffed into the turret purely to fool people? Of course not. Compared with the same cast steel turret, the defense ability must be improved, but if it is compared with the ceramic turret, it is far inferior.
After drilling through the quartz sand, the warhead continued to drill hard into it. Then, suddenly, the tip loosened, and the M111 armor-piercing bomb had penetrated the cast turret of the T-72 tank!
For tankers, when they heard the impact, they were very proud, and felt that their T-72 tank had the strongest protection and would definitely be able to defend against shells fired from the opposite side!
According to the values given by the Soviets, their turrets had a comprehensive protection capability of nearly 400 mm, which was quite safe, and the L7 tank gun could not be penetrated at all.
However, next, with the high temperature of more than 1,000 degrees after friction, the warhead of the M111 armor-piercing projectile had drilled into the inside of the turret, and then rushed straight to the automatic loader with the punch!
"Boom!" In the violent explosion, the circle of ejected medicine inside the turret was ignited, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gas filled the entire turret. The two people inside had instantly changed in this huge airflow.
It became meat foam and then evaporated cleanly. The interior of the turret is equivalent to the cannon chamber!
"Boom!" The turret could not withstand this huge impact force, and suddenly separated from the seat ring and turned into two halves. From the outside, the seat ring position suddenly appeared hot.
The flames, like a rocket ignited, pushed the turret and flew into the sky for several meters, then fell heavily and flew into the open space beside them.
The result of the first T-72 being destroyed on the battlefield appeared like this!
But at the same time, the M60 tank that fired M111 armor-piercing bombs on the opposite side was not very good at this time, because the armor-piercing bombs shot from the opposite side also came.
Two pieces of steel core bullets flew over. It did not hit the block explosion reaction armor, but hit the gap between the two. Then, the steel core bullet drilled in, and it was converted to more than 200 millimeters.
Crawl into the frontal cannon shield!
Carl's eyes widened.
As a tanker, you must be prepared for death at any time. The local artillery fire penetrates his armor, and the tank will also give him a metal grave!
"Boom!" This tank also exploded.
It is not only the T-72 that can fly turrets. As long as it is hit, any tank will fly turrets. The fire-extinguishing and explosion-relieving system may not be able to extinguish the terrible spark in a short period of time.
The cruel battle has begun!
The T-72 tank troops were unstoppable. This Soviet latest tank put a lot of pressure on the opposite M60 tank. Under their attack, Israel's armored troops suffered heavy losses and began to retreat.
Several damaged tanks did not have time to drag them out of the battlefield and fell into the hands of the other party.
