The Mekava tank, a masterpiece of swords, does not matter to Israel, loss of equipment, human life is the most important, so spare no effort to increase the protection of tanks is the goal they are pursuing tirelessly.

Unfortunately, Israel does not have any advanced composite armor technology, and their tanks even have to use ordinary homogeneous steel as armor. The Mekava MK1 model is such a product. Therefore, Israeli engineers have to try their best. For example, the turret uses a super-large inclined surface to increase the protection thickness by tilting the steel plate. However, the turret can be tilted, but the front of the vehicle body cannot be tilted. Therefore, they had to change their routine and move the huge engine to the front to charge the number. In this way, the entire power cabin can be regarded as "front armor". (In China, this method was highly praised, and the heroes of East China once envied the Mekava tank. Now it seems...)

Since the mekava only has uniform steel armor, in order to achieve the design protection value, he had to keep gaining weight. As a result, in the 1970s, the mekava was a monster weighing 58 tons. You should know that the Soviet tanks of this era were only 40 tons. At the same time, the mekava mk1 is a typical gap armor, with a gap layer of five layers, and there are three decks on the front of the vehicle body. In order to make full use of the space, these gap armors actually installed fuel tanks in the gap.

It is good to use it. It is the fuel tank. In the consciousness of the Israeli people, diesel is blunt and not easy to burn. In the end, the result of the Mekawa tank being manufactured has achieved its goal. There are no tanks around Israel that can penetrate the front of the MK1 body. This is not because the armor is excellent, but because it is too thick! The armor layer is close to 300 mm, and a power bay with a thickness of more than 1.2 meters is the engine. Ordinary 105 shell-piercing shells cannot drill so thick.

However, it is different now. The Syrians on the other side are the T-72 tanks! In order to allow their servants to kill Western power, at Andre's suggestion, these export equipment were not reduced. Andre convinced the senior military leaders in this way that the T-80 tank is the most advanced tank of the Soviet Union, so the cheap T-72 does not need to be kept too secret. Moreover, if you want to kill Western tanks, you must export enough weapons to the servants!

Just have t-80 as a secret, and t-72 won’t have to be castrated version anymore.

Moreover, gun-fired missiles were also exported simultaneously. Originally, the performance of the 125mm tank gun exceeded that of Israel's 105mm tank gun. Even if they developed newer armor-piercing missiles, the caliber advantage still exists. And now, the gun-fired missile has successfully launched the first round of attacks!

Not all gun-fired missiles penetrated the front engine, and some did not penetrate it. However, when the engine was scrapped, Mekava fell into bed, and some gun-fired missiles hit Mekava's turret. With the two-stage hollow armor-breaking medicine cover, they successfully tore open Mekava's turret!

In the violent explosion, one after another, Mekava tanks were blasted and caught fire, and many tank soldiers successfully escaped from the tank. Mekava's biggest advantage is that even if it is destroyed, there is a greater possibility of rescuing his warriors!

Looking at the mess around, Nako was very depressed. The opponent's gun-fired missiles, and in the first round, he knocked out more than 20 tanks of his own! However, after the first round of strikes, the distance between the two sides was shortened to 1,500 meters!

"Shoot, shoot!" Nako shouted loudly inside the radio.

The distance of 1500 meters is enough to ensure the depth of the m111 armor-piercing bomb! With Nako's order, his tank trembled suddenly, the body of the car vibrated, and a smell of gunpowder spread throughout the tank in an instant.

At the muzzle, a fireball appeared. The front end of the fireball was a tungsten alloy armor-piercing bomb. It threw away the bullet holder and flew forward!

Historically, in the 1982 Lebanon War, Israel's Mekawa tanks and the Syrian army's T-72m officially fought. The result was that Israel's m111 armor-piercing bombs could destroy the T-72m tank! Even the m111 armor-piercing bombs fired from the old Magazi tanks could penetrate the opponent!

Afterwards, Soviet technicians analyzed the problems. Moreover, because the captured Magazi-3 with reactive armor was obtained from the Syrian army, the Soviet Union finally used the technology to transform its own reactive armor and hung it on the t-72.

Now, the Soviet armored forces have made great progress in technology. For example, these T-72 tanks are all equipped with reactive armor!

In more than two seconds, the warhead of the m111 armor-piercing projectile had already flew to the t-72 tank opposite! The warhead hit the t-72 turret. As a cast turret, the t-72 was not hit, but at this time, outside the cast turret, there were brick-like reaction armor!

"Boom!" The reaction armor explosion offset part of the force of the m111 armor-piercing bomb. At the same time, the m111 warhead tilted at a high angle! Then, the warhead passed through the reaction armor and continued to move forward, and finally touched the main armor!

It was drilling hard inward, which was a contest between spears and shields! When it continued to drill, it encountered a layer of quartz sand balls inside. The balls melted quickly, blocking the continued entry of the armor-piercing bullets!

The armor-piercing bomb was pierced on the turret like this, as if the nurse gave the patient an injection but did not pull out the needle. At the same time, the turret suddenly shook. With the huge roar, a ball of fire was released from the muzzle of the 125mm tank gun. The same tail wing stabilized shell-piercing bomb flew over!

Nako looked at his own fire in a discouragement, but did not achieve any effect. The opponent's tank actually withstood the attack of his own m111 armor-piercing bomb! This armor-piercing bomb is his secret weapon! He originally planned to rely on this armor-piercing bomb to heavily attack Syria's tank troops, but now, there is no result!

You can't stand it, it's time to retreat! Just as Nako was about to order his troops to retreat, he felt the vehicle body shaking violently and was hit by the opponent!

A 125mm armor-piercing projectile flew from a distance and hit the turret of the Mekava tank. The turret and the multi-layer turret kept ringing. It was the opponent's armor-piercing projectile, which penetrated the gap between the turrets layer by layer! (To be continued.)
