"The composite armor really lives up to its name!"

"No wonder Soviet-made tanks equipped with this type of armor can become a nightmare for the whole world!"

"It seems that our Type 59 is really lagging behind!"

When the composite armored target plate after the 59-type 100mm rifled gun using different types of ammunition and several rounds of high-intensity bombardment at different distances was presented in front of everyone, only to see that although the front of the target plate was pitted by all kinds of ammunition, the basic protection remained unchanged.

Especially in the last 300 meters of the strike, at such a close distance, the homogeneous armor of most of the active tanks will be ruthlessly torn, and this composite armor like a sandwich biscuit has been cut out by an armor-piercing bullet, but it is only a third of the overall thickness of the invading shell, and the back of the target plate is basically intact.

That is to say, in a real combat state, a tank armored vehicle equipped with such composite armor does not have to be afraid of bombardment at any distance similar to a Type 59 tank, even a small obstacle and delay cannot be done, and can only watch the monster equipped with such steel and iron bones crush over its body:

"There are no holes at a distance of three hundred meters, such armor is really first-class!"

"If our country's tanks can be equipped with this kind of composite armor, they can also compete with the armored torrent in the north!"

"From this piece of composite armor, it can be seen that we are indeed a top priority to develop a new tank now!"

The voices of the people were still endless, or shocked, or admired, or they saw the hope of the future, or they were anxious about the backward reality of the present, anyway, the technicians of these new tank development teams surrounded the composite armor target that seemed to be full of devastation, but still stood in the cold wind. The praise is endless.

And such a wave of praise naturally reached the ears of the two developers of composite armor, Zhu Haifeng and Qin Jingbin, who were among the people, although the two had foreseen the test results of this round of 100mm rifled guns, they could hear such overwhelming words, and the hearts of the two were also sincerely happy.

It's just that the results of the whole test are not over yet. The final conclusion has not been established, so that as scientific researchers, they still have to maintain a modest and rigorous attitude, but even so, the faces of the two still show a happy smile, even Zhu Haifeng, who is not smiling on weekdays, smiles brighter than during the New Year:

"It seems that the performance of our composite armor is even better than the theoretical calculation!" After dealing with a few scientific researchers who came to congratulate him, Qin Jingbin approached Zhu Haifeng and whispered to Zhu Haifeng with irrepressible joy:

"I just looked at a few test data, which show that the armor-piercing depth of the armor-piercing projectile fired by the Type 59 100mm rifled gun is nearly 300mm of homogeneous armor, and it is now at a normal combat distance. At most, it can only tear the back plate of our composite armor, and even the technicians at the test site who are responsible for recording the data say that the real defense of this composite armor is by no means more than the theoretical protection level of 400mm homogeneous armor. ”

"It seems that this armor we have developed is indeed more likely than expected!" Listening to Qin Jingbin's words, a happy smile also appeared on Zhu Haifeng's face, and then he looked at the British "Chieftain" MK-5 tank that had just been transported from the Wanshan Factory yesterday evening not far away, his eyes were first fixed, but then replaced by a look of disdain that was not easy to detect, and then continued to say softly:

"Presumably, the British-made L11 120mm rifled gun will not do anything to our composite armor!"

"In addition to the M60 of the United States, the hypothetical target of the Soviet Union's development of the T-72 was this British-made 'Chieftain' tank. Especially in order to deal with the L11 120mm rifled gun carried on it, the Soviets did not put a lot of effort into it. Otherwise, it would be impossible to creatively use composite armor as the main armor of the T-72, and our composite armor is slightly better than the frontal armor of the T-72 from the current point of view, so no matter what, even if he Zhao Rusong has great ability, he will not be able to use this artillery to penetrate our armor!"

"I think so!" After listening to Qin Jingbin's confident analysis, Zhu Haifeng couldn't help but smile and nodded. Immediately turned his attention to the tall and majestic "Chief" tank not far away, but Zhu Haifeng was not the only one who was staring at this British tank, and Zhao Rusong, who was next to the 100mm rifled gun set up at the No. 1 gun position, also looked intently at the tank that he had high hopes for.

In any case, the just-concluded 100mm rifled gun target test. The old expert with frosty temples was still a little surprised, if he could not penetrate this composite armor at a distance of one thousand meters and eight hundred meters, it was still expected by him, and it was within his tolerance that it did not cause effective damage at a distance of five hundred meters, but it was not pierced at a distance of three hundred meters, which made him have to be shocked.

So much so that at the moment when he got the results, he suddenly lost confidence in the 120mm caliber series of anti-tank ammunition for the new tank he developed, but fortunately, such a mentality only stayed in his heart for a short moment, and he was soon thrown into the garbage heap of memory far away.

Joke, how can the 100mm ammunition on the old Type 59 tank be compared with the new 120mm series of anti-tank ammunition developed by him, you must know that the new anti-tank ammunition is not simply to increase the caliber and increase the charge, but to use a large number of advanced technology and production and processing technology, in order to improve the rate of fire of the armor-piercing projectile, the aerodynamic design of the shape of the warhead, he Zhao Rusong is also himself,

Moreover, he went to the Southwest Airlines Institute to seek the help of Lao Yang, who used to work in the Wanshan plant, and is now the director of the Southwest Airlines Institute, a well-known aerodynamics expert in China, and also his long-time friend Yang Hongyi.

And this is only a part of the development of anti-tank ammunition, as for the composition of other propellants, the type of fuse and the way of departure, the form of the primer, the establishment of a mathematical model of the explosion mode, and a series of aspects related to the development of ammunition, Zhao Rusong has devoted almost all of his efforts, in his words:

"The whole of what I have learned all my life is concentrated on these new anti-tank ammunition!"

In this way, with the joint efforts of Zhao Rusong and his ammunition system development team, the new 120mm anti-tank ammunition has reached the first-class level that can be called the leading in China.

"Professor Zhao!" Just as Zhao Rusong fell into deep thought, a kind and calm voice suddenly came from his ears, which made the gray-haired old expert break free from the vast thoughts, and then follow the prestige, a familiar and steady young figure immediately appeared in front of him, seeing this, Zhao Rusong couldn't help but open his mouth, wanting to say something, but before he could speak, the young and handsome figure had already walked quickly to him, and said first:

"You're all set!"

The person who came was none other than Lu Jiadong, the chief designer of the new tank, who had just finished checking the composite armor target plate that had been tested with a 100mm rifled gun, and was about to return to the main console, and came to Zhao Rusong to see the preparations for the next test:

"It looks like it's about the same!" Wu Tianming, director of the Military Quality Office of the New Tank Industry Office, who was following Lu Jiadong, glanced at the British-made "Chief" tank at the No. 2 gun emplacement, as well as several empty ammunition boxes under the tank, and repeated with affirmation:

"It's almost ready!"

"It's basically ready!" As soon as Wu Tianming's voice fell, Chao Rusong gave a more definite answer, not only that, but also further said:

"And this time all the new anti-tank ammunition we designed and developed!"

"Why don't you use the original British-made ammunition provided by Iran?" At that time, when Iran provided samples of tanks, it also provided a batch of supporting British-made anti-tank ammunition so that China could familiarize itself with and produce it, and this time, when the L11 120mm rifled gun installed on the "Chieftain" tank was used for testing, a batch of ammunition was also transported over, in order to test the protective effect of the newly developed composite armor under the blow of Western large-caliber anti-tank guns and their accompanying ammunition.

However, Zhao Rusong, who was in charge of ammunition, abandoned all these British munitions and replaced them with newly developed anti-tank munitions, which made Wu Tianming very surprised, and then a deep worry rose on his dark face, and the two broad thick eyebrows were immediately screwed together, and he said to Zhao Rusong with concern:

"Professor Zhao, the original ammunition made in the British is mainly to test the defensive effect of composite armor in the face of Western large-caliber anti-tank guns, not to mention that the newly developed ammunition has not been officially verified and finalized, and all new ammunition is used if"

"Xiao Wu, you don't have to worry about the safety of the new ammunition!" Before Wu Tianming finished speaking, Zhao Rusong interrupted him:

"The above several safety measures are based on the mature technology on the previous 40mm grenades, 80mm rockets and 155mm shells, and the performance should be relatively reliable, as for the performance of the composite armor in front of Western anti-tank guns, it is not too late to wait for our new ammunition to be tested, anyway, Zhu Haifeng, didn't they prepare four or five such target plates?" )

PS: The end of the first shift, there are two more in the back, please wait a while, brothers, of course, look at the situation that Yuzu is so hard, do you give Yuzu some encouragement, the moment when the coin is rampant, regardless of the loss of the update, Yuzu is not for anything else, just for your brothers and sisters to see cool!
