Chapter 820 The love-hate entanglement of tanks and anti-tank weapons
In the car, Professor Wang Limin said to Qin Zhenhua: "Your first-machine factory is a tank manufacturer, and we are a tank manufacturer. Are you afraid?"
Professor Wang Limin said this, which made Qin Zhenhua laugh: "Old Wang, it seems that our Red Arrow-8 anti-tank missile is very powerful."
When it comes to breaking through the armor of a tank, there are two main ways: the tail wing stabilizes the shell-piercing shell, mainly uses kinetic energy to kill, relying on a thin and long bullet rod to penetrate the armor of the tank.
In this way, anti-tank missiles cannot do it.
Its speed is not particularly high, only a few hundred meters per second. After all, it uses a rocket engine. Moreover, because it was unstable when it flew out, it was not accurate to target the close range and could only hit the long range.
of.
Why doesn't it increase speed?
I can't do it. This kind of missile uses a wired guidance solution. While flying forward, it constantly drags two lines from behind. The anti-tank war in 1973 made the AT-3 missile famous.
, and when the war was over, there were scattered wires everywhere on the battlefield.
While flying, release the wire backwards. If the speed of the flight is fast and the wire cannot keep up, the wire will be torn off.
Therefore, even if there are more advanced rocket engines, they cannot be installed. It cannot be faster. The wired guidance method will take a long time until the new millennium, and technologies such as infrared imaging will develop.
Only after launch will it be achieved.
Although the speed is not high, they do not rely on kinetic energy to kill at all, they rely on metal jets.
This is called the energy-gathering warhead. Through a cone-shaped charge, after the explosion, the explosives melt the brass hood in front, and then the hot metal jet burns the tank armor, like a handful of gas cutting, constantly
The ground-burning armor is burned through the armor all the time. (The gathering warhead and the hollow loading warhead should be said to be something? This is what the hero of East China thinks.)
Therefore, this process of armor-piercing is no longer a head-on battle. It is an alternative killing. Before the energy disappears, the metal jet burns through the main armor of the tank. Then you will win. The metal jet that rushed in will detonate the things inside the tank.
Of course, if you have good luck, you may have disappeared after just burning through the tank's thighs.
If the energy is exhausted and not burned through, it will be that the tank's armor will win.
However, since there is no need for speed limits, you can charge more drugs, so from the data, the armor-breaking depth of the anti-tank missile is very scary. The Red Arrow 73 anti-tank missile has a 500-mm penetration
A depth.
As for the Red Arrow-8, as the second-generation anti-tank missile in China, its performance will definitely be higher. Although I don’t know the specific value, it will definitely scare people when I say it.
Wang Limin said this, but Qin Zhenhua smiled and shook his head: "What are you afraid of? We have explosion reaction armor when dealing with anti-tank missiles. Using this thing, we will blow it away directly."
The 1982 war made the explosion reaction armor show their faces once, and relevant domestic departments have also started development. Therefore, when Wang Limin asked Qin Zhenhua if he was afraid, Qin Zhenhua mentioned this issue.
"Yes, the explosion reaction armor poses a great threat to our energy-gathering warhead." Professor Wang Liming said: "However, it is also easy to resolve it. A retractable pole can solve the problem."
Anti-tank missiles mainly rely on metal jets, while explosion reaction armor is very useful for this method of killing. At the moment when the anti-tank missile hit, we exploded with a bang. Those metal jets were originally
The metal jets that gather together will be blown up directly, and their power will be greatly reduced.
So, no matter how deep you claim, five hundred millimeters, eight hundred millimeters, or even one thousand millimeters, it is invalid. Here we suddenly collapse the metal jet!
"The retractable metal piercing rod? Detonate in advance?" Qin Zhenhua asked, "It's true that he is smart. Who came up with it?"
"Americans." Professor Wang Liming said: "This is how their Tao-style anti-tank missiles are improved."
The Americans' pottery anti-tank missiles are also famous. After the basic model was put into service in the 1970s, various improvements have been carried out.
By 1981, this improved model had already entered the army. It made such improvements in response to the explosion reaction armor that appeared: a two-section probe with a retractable length of about 305mm was installed on the front end.
What's the use of this?
When it encounters an explosion reaction armor, detonate it in advance. This thing is useless after the explosion. Then stick the missile on it and use the double-cone medicine-shaped cover you carry and the more powerful LX-14 high-energy explosive to go opposite it.
The armor was burned through, and its armor-breaking thickness had increased to 800 mm.
Then, the improved "Tao 2" also appeared. The probe rod became a three-section probe rod with a length of about 540mm, and the diameter of the warhead increased from 127mm to 152mm. The advertised armor-breaking thickness has reached one.
The terrible order of magnitude of rice!
Qin Zhenhua has been busy in recent years and has not paid much attention to this aspect, so he did not expect that this would be solved.
"Tanks and anti-tank weapons have always been back and forth, constantly improving, and finally showing a spiral upward process." Finally, Qin Zhenhua said this: "However, I don't think it's too much to use this probe pole.
The cleverness.”
"Hmm? How do you say this?" Professor Wang Liming asked.
"The technology of explosion-reaction armor will be more and more advanced. Pointing with that pole may not necessarily detonate." Qin Zhenhua said: "After all, the speed is not fast enough. Otherwise, if the tank crashes, the speed will
Will the explosion reaction armor be detonated?"
This is just a simple response solution that can solve some problems, but this solution becomes invalid after the explosion reaction armor technology continues to improve.
"Yes, how can I solve it?" Professor Wang Liming asked.
"Since this retractable probe rod is used, why not add a small energy-concentrating warhead directly at the top of this probe rod? The probe rod may not explode the reaction armor, but the metal jet will definitely make it explode.
This is definitely a 100% chance, so that it can be more secure."
After that, the explosion reaction armor technology will be developed and you will definitely recognize the probe rod. If you want to poke me, I will not explode!
However, when the metal jet comes, it must be fried, otherwise, what else is it use?
