Andre's method, the structure of T-72 can be changed to the minimum and can achieve the greatest effect. Kartsev immediately decided. After returning, he immediately reported to the General Administration of Armored Soldiers, applied for project approval, and developed this reaction armor as soon as possible! Andre, no wonder he climbed to the position of deputy commander at a young age. His brain is indeed different from that of ordinary people. His ideas are too unique and too correct!

When Kartsev heard that Andre had new ideas, he immediately took out his notebook and had to record it one by one.

Sitting on the back of the t-72, Andre said: "Our reaction armor can be laid on the body armor after it is made. However, the armor on the turret needs to be welded a rack to make the reaction armor form a slope on the turret, further increasing the bulletproof effect."

What Andrey said was actually the shape of the tank turret in later generations, like the 99 type of China. After improvement, it was installed with additional modules and turned into the falcon-shaped shape at the front end of the turret of Leopard 2a6. Later generations had a popular name, called bra.

At this time, the Soviet tanks were still cast turrets, paying attention to streamlined shapes and increasing the chance of the opponent's jump. This is already out of date. Placing the armor inclined can artificially increase the thickness without changing weight. After all, the opponent's armor-piercing bombs flew back, and it was not the thickness of the armor, but the slanted distance.

Kartsev nodded and said yes, this is a good idea!

"Also, our armor-piercing shells can further increase the aspect ratio and use them to increase the depth of penetration." Andre said: "Our current tank guns are still insufficient in dealing with new tanks that are about to be finalized in the West."

Aspect and diameter ratio! I don’t know what the Russians thought. They always pay attention to five big and three thick, and the same is true for armor-piercing bombs. Looking at the Russians’ armor-piercing bombs, they are thick and short. The aspect ratio is only about ten, while the aspect ratio of Western armor-piercing bombs is far more than ten, even twenty, twenty-five, and thirty!

The ratio of aspect ratio, length and diameter, Dr. Anderson from later generations repeatedly studied armor-piercing bombs and obtained a simple formula. In addition to being related to speed, the most important aspect ratio is this aspect ratio!

The old Russians believed in the law, and there was no change in later generations. The 3bm42 armor-piercing bombs used by the main t-80u and T-90 main battle tanks belong to the new generation of Russia's main APSDS. The bullet body is still short and the vertical armor-piercing depth is only 450 mm at a distance of 2,000 meters, and it is impossible to destroy the main armor of Western tanks.

At the same time, China's 125mm tank gun, although the caliber of the Soviet Union, absorbed the essence of the Western world and developed the armor-piercing bombs with an length-to-diameter ratio of 25. When using tungsten alloy tail wing to stabilize the shell-piercing bombs, it can penetrate 850 mm of homogeneous armor at a distance of 2,000 meters.

(Although people keep blindly saying that the power of China's 125mm tank gun is only 450 mm. Some even say that it is only 220 mm, pursuing the power of artillery fire. At any time, China is facing the rolling armor torrent in the north, and the construction of armor power has always been very important. Although this 125mm tank gun has some connection with the 2a46, the 120mm smoothbore gun had been studied in China at that time. After careful comparison, the 125mm caliber was chosen. Moreover, the electric slag remelting steel and the self-tightening technology of the body tube are all from the West. It can be said that it combines the advantages of the East and the West, plus the enlarged medicine chamber and carefully designed armor-piercing bombs to penetrate the Western main battle tanks. It is definitely not empty talk, and cheers for our tanks!)

"Increase the aspect ratio?" Kartsev said: "This will cause our armor-piercing projectiles to be longer in shape and cannot be used on our automatic loaders."

"It can be made more thin." Andre said: "Increasing the aspect ratio can be increased by increasing the length or reducing the diameter. It is best to use these two methods at the same time. If the aspect ratio can reach 25 to 1, you can get the best armor-piercing effect."

"But that will cause the armor-piercing bomb to be insufficient, and it may disintegrate during flight." Kartsev continued.

"Increasing the strength can make the entire armor-piercing bullet core use high-strength tungsten alloy." Andre said: "Although it will increase the cost, it is absolutely worth it in terms of power. You can also put a layer of steel cover outside the armor-piercing bullet to further increase the strength."

Now, the Soviet Union's 125mm tank gun has been in service for nearly ten years. However, the armor-piercing bombs that were equipped with the early troops were all powder-condensed poles. Basically, only one armor-piercing head was tungsten alloy, and the rear section was still made of steel, such as 3bm26. Moreover, with the mass production of t-72, in order to reduce costs, the cheaper 3bm15 steel armor-piercing bombs equipped with the second-line troops were completely made of steel, without any tungsten alloy. The export model of this armor-piercing bomb was the famous Iraqi 3bm17 in the Gulf War, a complete deception.

In later generations, the Soviet Union successfully developed the main 3bm42 tungsten alloy armor-piercing bomb in 1986. This thing was because of insufficient strength, and a layer of steel cover was put on the outside of the tungsten alloy.

Every word of Andrei was like a revelation, which made Kartsev admire him. Andrei was such a genius!

Although the T-72 is a low-end product and needs to pursue quantity advantages, wars will be fought at any time on island countries. This kind of local war does not require the Soviet Union to tighten its belt. Andrei said that the armor-piercing bomb can be tested after returning. If it is really as he said, increasing the aspect ratio to 25 to 1 and changing it to an overall tungsten alloy can greatly increase the depth of the armor-piercing, then the Soviet tank will be a nightmare in the Western world!

It may take longer to react armor, but this armor-piercing shell can be produced at any time. The packaged shells do not need to be changed, just create a few armor-piercing shells.

"In fact, it is better to use depleted uranium to make armor-piercing bombs. They can also burn during the armor-piercing process to increase the effect of armor-piercing." Andre continued.

The Soviet Union had abundant tungsten ore and could smel out a large amount of tungsten alloys. Unlike the West, the West used depleted uranium armor-piercing bombs because the production of tungsten was scarce. However, the power of depleted uranium armor-piercing bombs was indeed greater than that of tungsten alloys. Anyway, there were so many research institutions in the Soviet Union, and it might be possible to create more powerful armor-piercing bombs.

As for radiation and other things, it was because of the launch of the enemy's territory that Andre didn't care about that much!
