For a long time, the tank armor and armor-piercing projectile technology has been stagnant, but later, new technologies soon appeared. The composite armor technology greatly enhanced the protection of the armor, and the tail was stabilized. Shell armor-piercing bullets have also begun to become popular, especially tank guns with high chamber pressure, which make the guns eject quickly and greatly increase their power. The more important one is the bullet core.

In this upcoming war, the bear country’s T72 tank was deeply criticized. Once it was hit, it was destroyed. The tank turret was overturned and looked terrible. Even if they were lucky enough to hit the other side, then the other side There is no harm, the thick armor of the opponent can even fly tank shells!

The reason for this situation is the monkey version. The monkey version’s turret is filled with quartz sand. The monkey version of the steel core armor-piercing projectile has poor armor penetration ability. It's okay to deal with second-generation tanks, but against advanced Western tanks. Only the fate of being destroyed, now, of course, Qin Guan can't let this happen.

"Now, the world's most advanced armor-piercing projectile has begun to use depleted uranium as the core. We estimate that the short-range armor-piercing capability of this core may reach 1,000 millimeters." Qin Guan said.

One thousand millimeters is one meter. If it is an ordinary steel armor, it needs to be one meter thick. When Qin Guan said this data, everyone was shocked.

Is the power of the current armor-piercing bullets so terrifying?

If this is the case, can their tank armor be defensible?

You must know that the strength of tank protection can be calculated with equivalent homogeneous armor. Although they are confident now, they dare not say that this type of armor can be equivalent to a one-meter-thick homogeneous armor. Kind of arrogant.

So, what if an additional layer of additional armor is added?

"If you feel that it has too much influence on your self-respect, you don't need to wear it all over, as long as you hang it on the front." Qin Guan said.

As the bravest tank soldier, of course, you have to face your hand directly. If you want to retreat and flee, it is useless to increase these protections, because the original armor behind is not thick.

It is still possible to carry the depleted uranium armor-piercing shells of the M1 tank with the imitation version of the Chobham armor inside and the explosive reaction armor on the outside. If it is the original version, it would be too arrogant.

Qin Guan said that, the other party really stopped insisting: "Then we choose to cover it all."

Even if it is to increase its own weight by a few tons, the tank must be made stronger. Once hit by the opponent, the solid armor can give the tanker the greatest confidence.

It takes a long time to build confidence. They gradually build up throughout the war. However, it is easy to break their confidence. As long as one is penetrated, the morale of the tanker will be greatly reduced. Dare to go forward.

"So, are our armor-piercing bullets sexually capable?" someone asked.

This is like a contradiction. My shield must be very thick. All spears in the world cannot be penetrated. My spear must be particularly sharp. Any shield can be penetrated. Then, use your own spear. What about your own shield?

The armor of the tank must be extremely thick. It cannot be penetrated by any tank, and the shells of the tank must be quite powerful, capable of penetrating all tanks. Of course, as long as it does not include your own.

Your own tank can block the attacks of other tanks, and your own tank gun can penetrate the armor of other tanks. That's enough. In fact, the use of tanks is very complicated. If you can't penetrate the front, you can hit the side or the back. Of course, it's the best to penetrate the front.

"Yes, do you have advanced depleted uranium armor-piercing bullets that you can export to us?" another person asked.

Now, the depleted uranium armor-piercing projectile is no longer a secret thing. The Xiong State and the Eagle State are all studying this kind of thing. Hearing these people’s questions, Qin Guan said: “The depleted uranium armor-piercing projectile is very powerful, but this thing There is very serious pollution, especially for war zones. The impact may last for decades. Therefore, we do not intend to develop this technology. After all, we have to consider it for future generations."

Depleted uranium armor, as long as it is well protected, but depleted uranium armor-piercing bullets are not good for protection. When they penetrate the target, the depleted uranium will burn, and radioactive dust will enter the air, even if there is only a small amount of dust. Damage to people's health, this effect is subtle.

Qin Guan said it solemnly.

In fact, for many people, this thing is not considered at all. On the battlefield, there is a threat of death at any time. Do you still care about future generations?

However, since Qin Guan said so, there must be his reason, so what else is there if you don't use depleted uranium armor-piercing bullets?

"We have developed the latest tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile. This armor-piercing projectile has the largest length-to-diameter ratio and has further improved armor-piercing capabilities." Qin Guan said: "If you need it, we can provide this most advanced armor-piercing projectile to Your side."

Han's tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles have always been the best. There are many reasons for this. For example, Han originally had the world’s largest tungsten mine, and Han's tungsten mining would not be restricted. With enough output, of course, tungsten alloy can be used to build armor-piercing bullets.

This is just like the Han country does not like to use copper shells and has produced steel shell bullets. On the one hand, it saves costs. On the other hand, it is because Han country lacks copper mines. This kind of strategic resource, once during the war, It was chopped off, and the bullets that needed a lot of consumption were not made, and the trouble was big.

If you want to improve the performance of armor-piercing bullets, you need to increase the aspect ratio. The longer the core, the better the armor-piercing ability. Therefore, the 120mm armor-piercing bullets used in Han are fully loaded. The entire bullet core is seated inside the propellant, maximizing the length of the bullet core, so that it can greatly increase its penetration depth.

"However, due to the limitation of tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles, we not only need to improve the performance of its projectiles, we also need the cooperation of tank guns." Qin Guan said: "Anyway, your tanks were in the last time. In the war, a large number of tank guns have been used, and many of the barrels have reached the end of their lifespan. Therefore, simply replace it with our newly developed tank gun, which is more than one meter longer and is a 55-caliber tank gun. Make good use of the energy of the propellant to increase the initial velocity."

Qin Guan was too worried. In order to prevent the date palm country from losing too badly, Qin Guan had made various plans and carried out various plans. Their tank upgrades were also comprehensive. , They are all considered thoughtful, as long as they pay the money.
