Chapter five hundred and seventy seventh steel collision
The 1st Cavalry Division is simply a professional firefighter. When the island country had a war, it was mobilized from the United States to the island country. After that, the island country's war failed and temporarily moved to South Korea. Soon, it was transferred to Pakistan. In Pakistan, it participated in the long-distance raid on Tehran. After that, the war ended and returned to Pakistan. It did not return to its original station like other troops, but continued to stay in Pakistan. Now, Saudi Arabia has problems and is the first group of troops transferred from Pakistan to Saudi Arabia.
Although the First Cavalry Division fought repeatedly, they were still the most elite army!
Although the name is the Cavalry Division, they are still Yishui’s heavy equipment troops. The main combat weapon of the 1st Cavalry Division is the m1 tank!
During the battle in Hokkaido, the m1 tank hurried to the battlefield. I thought it could turn the situation around in one fell swoop, but I didn't expect that the m1 tank could not withstand the shooting of the t72's armor-piercing bomb! So the United States learned from its mistakes and improved its own m1 tank.
The 105mm tank gun is out of date, so the new m1a1 tank uses the 120mm smoothbore gun from the German Rheinmetallurgical Company. This tank gun is the largest tank gun in the West. It can be said to be a new generation of standard weapons. The United States directly uses this tank gun authorized by Rheinze. However, according to the original convention, it still produces advanced ammunition itself to achieve the goal of greater penetration depth.
At the same time, it is also impatient to increase the protection of the m1 tank. The depleted uranium armor has not been developed at this time, and there are many problems that need to be overcome. Therefore, the m1 tank still uses the original composite armor, which is only thicker, which increases the weight of the tank.
The weight of the m1 tank is 54.5 tons, while the current m1a1 tank has increased sharply to 65 tons! The additional 10 tons of weight has almost been increased to armor protection! The United States is very confident that this time, it will never be penetrated! Moreover, it is the monkey version of the t-72 exported by the Soviet Union!
However, because the increase in the weight of the m1 tank has led to a further increase in the pressure on the ground, it doesn't matter in other areas, but now in the desert, the disadvantages are shown. The tracks of this tank are almost trapped in the sand! Its maneuverability has also been greatly reduced!
However, this did not affect the battle in the desert. After the battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 5th Cavalry Regiment under the 1st Cavalry Brigade discovered the Iraqi army in front of him in the chariot commander Zhou Shiyi, he immediately issued a battle order.
Enter the state of combat!
The 120mm armor-piercing shell was stuffed into the barrel by a large loader. The gunman aimed at the target. Due to the advanced aiming system, this tank gun still had a pretty good hit rate at a distance of 2,000 meters!
Now, the distance between the two sides is five thousand meters, and they are quickly hedging, and they can quickly approach the distance of two thousand meters! However, the Soviet tanks were basically not observed firing one thousand meters away! This is our own advantage!
At the beginning, the 105mm tank gun could not penetrate the opponent, but now I have replaced the 120mm tank gun and I can finally be proud!
In the desert, it is the most suitable position for tank battles. Both sides have set up a wide attack surface. The collision between steel and steel is about to begin!
Just when the Battalion Commander of **** issued an order to keep approaching, he found a ball of black smoke prominently emerged from the barrel of the Iraqi tank gun opposite.
What's going on? Did the Iraqis open fire now? How is this possible! Now, the combat distance between the two sides is four thousand meters!
Although Iraq's T-72 tanks use 125mm tanks, which are larger than the caliber of the US tank gun, due to various restrictions, the accurate hit distance of the 125mm tank gun is indeed less than two thousand meters. However, Soviet tanks still have other advantages, which is the gun-fired missile!
The first to study gun-fired missiles was the United States. They spent a lot of effort to develop oak stick gun-fired missiles. At the same time, in order to make this missile work, they also developed the m551 Sheridan light tank accordingly. This thing that can both attack and launch gun-fired missiles. The final facts prove that it is actually a pitfall.
The United States had already turned around when it hit the south wall, but at the same time it was constantly fooling the Soviets and showing off their advanced nature of cannon-launched missiles. The Soviets were indeed fooled. Through continuous improvement and development, cannon-launched missiles eventually blossomed everywhere in the Soviet Union's equipment sequence.
The earliest 9m112 gunfire missile used radio command guidance, and its performance was seriously lagging behind. Therefore, after improvement, the Soviet Union successfully developed the latest 9m119 reed, NATO code-named at-11 sniper. Compared with the original missile, its biggest feature is its use of semi-active laser guidance and tandem warhead!
In order to allow the Iraqi army to sweep the Middle East, the Soviet Union also invested a lot, and even provided this kind of artillery missile to Iraq. However, Iraq itself could not produce it, and it was a thing that could use one shot and one shot less.
Now, this kind of gun-launched missile has exerted its greatest power! After discovering the American m1 tank, Ali immediately ordered the gun-launched missile to attack first!
In this way, at a distance of four thousand meters, Iraqi tanks roared, and the 9m119 gun-fired missile flew out in the muzzle of the 125mm tank gun!
The missile's rocket engine spewed out flames, pushing the missile to continue to accelerate, reaching a speed of 800 meters per second, driving the laser beam, constantly modifying its progress trajectory.
Fire missiles!**** finally understood what this was, and he issued an order loudly: "Stop!"
The missile is coming soon! At this time, the sudden stop of the car may allow the other party to escape from the target!
Hearing his order, the tank stepped on the brakes. The tank that was still speeding just now stopped instantly. The body leaned forward, and the tank's gun barrel almost poked the sand dune in front!
And at this moment, all the tankers heard a terrible sound, but they still did not dodge. The missile had already had an intimate collision with its own tank!
The first-stage hollow armor-breaking medicine cover in front is first ignited, and the hot metal heat flow begins to drill the armor of the m1 turret. Then, the second-stage hollow armor-breaking medicine cover located behind the rocket engine, and the main charge becomes a metal heat flow and continues to bombard!
Compared with the original 9m112's 600mm static vertical penetration depth, the current 9m119 has a maximum penetration depth of 800mm!
So, under this metal heat flow, the main armor of the m1 tank was directly penetrated! The hot metal heat flow penetrated into the inside of the tank, and the ammunition inside was instantly detonated! (To be continued.)
