"The following item is an information item, the Soviet MT-L

The body technology of the armored car has a starting price of 8 million US dollars, and the minimum price increase is 100 US dollars each time! ”[

There are no auction items to see for information items, so the auctioneer directly quoted the starting price, the armored car is good, but in the Soviet Union it is better than average, and the starting price of only 8 million US dollars is normal. After four years of brutal fighting on the Middle East Front in World War II, the Soviet Army's theory of large-depth operations has been tempered to perfection. In the end, however, advanced operational theories must be realized by relying on a mature and perfect armament system. Throughout the course of the Great Patriotic War, the Red Army was plagued by one problem - how to keep the infantry, artillery and various support detachments up to speed with the assault of tank units? Thus, while the Western world was still immersed in the intense shock of the first public appearance of the IS-3 heavy tank at the Berlin military parade, the Red Army generals had begun to turn their attention to the full mechanization of the entire army.

Since 1951, the Soviet army began to massively equip the first generation of post-war armored transport vehicles -

t-

152, in the 11 years from 1951 to 1962, the number of equipment of the car quickly expanded to more than 10,000 vehicles. The Red Army finally bid farewell to the primitive era of using cavalry as mechanized infantry, but with the gradual formation of motorized infantry, the defects of the Red Army's logistical support vehicles were more prominent. At this time, the main force of the Red Army's artillery tractors was still a variety of American-made half-tracks obtained under the "Lend-Lease Act" during World War II, which made the Red Army artillery units completely unable to keep up with tanks and motorized infantry during combat, and the off-road support vehicles were insufficient. In order to solve this problem, at the end of the 50s of the last century, the famous designer Belousov took the lead in developing a new full-tracked heavy tractor. At the beginning of 1964, the car was officially put into production at the Kharkov Tractor Plant in Ukraine, and in the same year it was officially launched as the MT-L

The transport tractor number entered service with the Soviet Army, and thus began a legend of immortality that continues to this day.

MT-L at the beginning of service

It is only positioned as a logistics vehicle, which is mainly used to tow various artillery pieces and trailers weighing less than 6.5 tons to transport ammunition and military-technical supplies. But soon after the car was put into service, the Red Army discovered the MT-L

In addition to the basic functions of military traction and material transportation, it can also be widely used in personnel transportation and other aspects, and can even be used as a substitute

t-

152 directly participated in front-line operations. As a result, the car's horn sè was transformed from a simple logistics support vehicle to a universal base platform, and finally evolved into a family of serial combat and auxiliary armored vehicles.

As a light armored vehicle, MT-L

Equipped with only basic self-defense firepower, the only self-defense weapon of the car is the TK- mounted above the right side of the crew compartment -

The Type 01 conical armored turret was equipped with a millimeter PKT machine gun, and the commander doubled as a shooter to operate the shooting. In terms of protection capabilities, MT-L

The hull is made of rolled armor plates welded in one piece, and the thickness of the armor varies from 7 to 11 mm, which protects the crew and crew from enemy hand-held small arms bullets, artillery shrapnel and fragments of small-caliber mines. In addition, MT-L

The body of the car is low and well concealed, which also enhances the protection ability of the car to a certain extent.

Even by the standards of the 60s of the 20th century, such a level of firepower and protection is weak. But MT-L

After all, it is designed as a second-tier auxiliary vehicle, and it is reasonable for such a situation to occur. More importantly, according to the Soviet army's theory of great depth, the armored transport vehicle only needs to follow the tank to complete one rapid impact after the artillery fire is prepared, and according to the regulations of the Soviet army, the maximum distance of each impact generally does not exceed 1000 meters, that is, even the MT-L that needs to participate in front-line operations

Armored transport vehicles will not be in front of the enemy's anti-tank fire network for more than 3 minutes each time. Under such a premise, MT-L

The disadvantage of insufficient protection is not so important.

In the mid-to-late 80s, the Soviet army began to put the MT-L

The research and development of replacement vehicles was put on the agenda, according to the refitting plan drawn up by the Soviet army at that time, MT-L

All members of the family will be retired in the 90s, among them, the MT-L of the front-line combat units

The armored transport type will be made up of the latest

MP-3 infantry fighting vehicle and

t-

The Type 90 armored transport vehicle will be replaced, and various variants of the artillery and various support detachments will be replaced by vehicles such as the latest "Warrior" transporter. After 30 years of service, the MT-L

The family's history in the Red Army seemed to have come to an end, but with the collapse of the Soviet Union, this change of dress plan was eventually stillborn, MT-L

's fate has become as bright as the country's future.

But even so, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia was finally ready to retire all the MT-boss armored vehicles, but at this time, the Chechen war broke out, and the Russian government and military ran out of time and funds to replace the armored vehicles.

The first MT-L in 1964

The transport tractor began when it entered service with the Soviet Army, and by 2006 the newest modification was born, the MT-L

In Sue

The Russian Army has gone through a long 42 spring and autumn seasons, and in these 40 years, the Soviet Union

Equipped by the Russian Army

The MP infantry fighting vehicle has been developed for 3 generations, and its contemporaries were born

t

The series of armored vehicles is already the fifth generation of the same family. mt-l

But with its excellent original design and huge potential for improvement, it still sticks to the lineup of the Russian army. According to the plans of the Russian army, the improved MT-L

The armored transporter will be the main transitional equipment before the service of the new generation of infantry fighting vehicles and armored transporters, and will take on the important task of filling the vacuum of the combat power of the motorized infantry of the Russian army!

mt-l

It is also known as the true veteran immortal.

Lin Yu didn't expect that MT-L would be auctioned here

is in the information, but these materials are not what Lin Yu needs, so Lin Yu does not plan to auction them.

Half a day later, someone rang the bell once, it seems that everyone will not dare to be interested in this technical information, the body of the armored car is important, but there is no internal equipment and it is just an empty shell, if this information is a full set of technology, the value is more than that.

Seeing that no one continued to bid, the item was auctioned off at a price of 9 million.

The auction continues.

It wasn't until the twenty-sixth that an interesting thing reappeared. This lot is a portable anti-tank rocket crafting technique. The technique is not that difficult.

However, what Lin Yu values is that this kind of anti-tank rocket is made in the United States, and it is also a relatively advanced kind in the world, so he didn't expect to see it here.

The most important thing is that the price of this technique is also not high. I bought it for five million dollars. However, this kind of rocket is still very different in quality from the Soviet-style rockets that Lin Yu has been buying from the Soviet Union. Lin Yu bought it and wanted to continue to do research. Strive to develop our own real military products as soon as possible.

Although Lin Yu does not have many real scientific research personnel now, Lin Yu will soon bring a group of people from the Soviet Union, and this group of people will be the team of Lin Yu's scientific research and research work in the future.

So Lin Yu is bound to take down this Hydra rocket.

Anti-tank rockets are a traditional anti-tank weapon that played an important role in World War II. In modern warfare, anti-tank rockets still play an important role that cannot be ignored.

Anti-tank rockets generally consist of two parts: a bazooka and a rocket.

When the "Hydra" and "Giant Rat" rockets were developed to the MK66 batch, the US Navy gave them a new name: "Hydra" (HYD).

a) The military handed over the contract for the "Hydra".

EI Defense Systems, Lockheed? Martin and Aliant are involved at the same time. The key to the development is a new type of solid rocket engine to greatly increase its range and flight speed. The "Hydra" also met the requirements of the military, thus becoming an evergreen tree in the US military's rockets. The Army alone is armed with more than 200,000 of them.

The bomb looks like a "giant rat", but in fact the aerodynamic shape and internal structure are very different. The caliber is still 70 mm, so it is possible to follow a wide range of full-fledged launchers. When the "Hydra" was born, the biggest improvement was the use of two solid rocket engines, the MK66MOD1 and MK66MOD2. The MK66 series is equipped with AA2 dual-base high-energy explosives, which further increases the firing range of the "Hydra" to 8.8 kilometers. In terms of tail, the "Hydra" was changed to three horizontally rolled tails. The new rear wing is lighter than the folding rear of the "Giant Rat", and at the same time has better stabilization. The new engine was fitted with a long nozzle with an integral throat, which gave the rocket 600 revolutions at the beginning of launch

points of high-speed rotation, and then the speed of rotation is increased to 2100 rpm by the rear wing

points, further improving flight stability and improving hit accuracy. This is clearly beneficial for striking air targets maneuvering at high speeds.

The MK66 is divided into two types, MOD1 and MOD2, the former is adopted by the Army and Air Force, and the latter is used by the Navy

Adopted by the Marine Corps. The mod2 is equipped with a protective filter

Ō circuits, which can shield the electromagnetic signals of other electronic devices to avoid accidentally triggering the ignition of the rocket, complies with MIL-STD-1385

Military standards for electromagnetic radiation. In this way, mod2 can be used and stored safely on naval ships with numerous and dense electronic equipment.

In general, compared with other rockets in the world at present, the flight trajectory of the "Hydra" is stable and straight, and the hitting accuracy is high; The total impulse and thrust of the engine are high, and the firing range is long; The kinetic energy when hitting the target is high. The most important thing is that there are many types of warheads of the "nine-headed", each with its own strengths. We focus on its warhead for anti-aircraft fire: the M255 Arrow Shotgun Warhead. The M255 warhead is a shotgun with a 58 or 120-weight steel arrow inside. The entire warhead has a length of 680 mm and a weight of 5.7 kg. When the pilot discovers an air target, he first measures the distance between the enemy plane and himself, and then sets the delay time for the detonation of the M439 time fuse by means of remote control according to the control data that he has precisely calculated in advance before the war, and then launches the "Hydra." After launching, according to the measured distance of the enemy aircraft, after flying to a distance of 150 meters from the enemy aircraft, the M439 fuse detonates, and the projectile charge in the warhead ejects all steel arrows. After flying 10 meters, the group of steel arrows spreads into a barrage with a diameter of 35 meters and a flight speed of Mach 2.5, such as a 7.8-gram steel arrow, and there is an average of one steel arrow within 1.6 square meters in the barrage. Usually pilots will fire at least two "Hydra" with M255 warheads, which can form a barrage of about 1,500 square meters, which is almost square, and targets like gunships are basically impossible to escape. To a certain extent, the warhead of the arrow shotgun has made up for the defects of unguided and low-precision rockets, and has enabled US combat aircraft, especially helicopter gunships, to have a low-cost and reliable means of firing at the air.

The power of a 7.8-gram steel arrow flying at Mach 2 is considerable. The kinetic energy of its hit exceeds the muzzle kinetic energy of our 7.62 mm rifle cartridge. Since the méng skin of combat aircraft is usually a weak aluminum alloy, steel arrows can easily penetrate it. The side armor of the existing helicopter gunships also did not protect against the penetration of steel arrows. Therefore, when the "Hydra" hits the enemy plane, it is more certain that it will be able to ensure the destruction of the enemy plane. At the same time, the M255 is also capable of ground attack missions, which is particularly effective against improvised fortifications and personnel.

In addition to the M255, the M151 high-explosive warhead, which is most commonly used by the "Hydra", also has a certain anti-air capability, and the installation of M432 and M433 remote control time fuses or proximity fuses has a higher probability of damage. The M261 universal sub-mother warhead can also strike low-speed aircraft in the take-off and landing state.

The effectiveness of the "Hydra's" anti-aircraft firing mainly depends on the accuracy of fire control of the carrier aircraft and the skill of the pilots, and this is precisely the strong point of the US military. The weapons management system that can be used by the US military in active service mainly includes the M146 fire control system and the M147 rocket management system, which have various modes such as bullet launch, burst fire, and automatic timed launch. Of course, the General Weapons Management System (UAMS) of US combat aircraft has the capability of most of the existing airborne weapons, including the "Hydra", so basically the front-line combat aircraft of the US military can use the "Hydra".

Although the "Hydra" space-to-air missile is quite mature in service, the weight of one "Sidewinder" is similar to that of 12 "Hydras," and it is quite difficult for US armed helicopters to carry the "Sidewinder." Moreover, the price of missiles is very high, so it is a more realistic choice for helicopter gunships to use the "Hydra" as an air-to-air weapon. In addition, the US military's LAV wheeled air defense combat vehicle also adopts the weapon configuration of machine gun + Stinger missile + Hydra.

In 1992, a new modification of the "Hydra" was unveiled for the first time at the Hangzhou Air Show in Paris. The modification received an updated MK-90 super-high-speed engine and a new fuse. The hyper-high-speed engine made the "Hydra" faster, the firing range was increased to 16 kilometers, and the accuracy of hitting was improved. At the same time, there is less tail smoke, which reduces the probability of a violent aircraft and reduces the pollution of the launcher. The new "Hydra" is available

The rocket shotgun warhead jointly developed by EI and General Propulsion contains 14 high-speed armor-piercing projectiles with their own rocket booster engines. Each armor-piercing projectile hits the target at a speed close to Mach 4.0 and can penetrate the top armor of an aircraft or tank. At the same time, the rocket shotgun warhead is also constantly improving, including changing the steel arrow to a tungsten alloy arrow, improving the aerodynamic shape of the arrow, and using a composite shell to reduce weight.

future development; In 2002, the Missile Research and Engineering Center of the US Army Aviation and Missile Command announced a tender plan for the latest modification of the "Hydra". The modification, called the "Low-Cost Precision-Kill Guided Rocket", is abbreviated as a semi-active Jī light homing head in front of the rocket warhead based on the existing Hydra rocket, launcher and fire control system, giving the LCPK the same capabilities as the Hellfire

e) Missile coordination guidance capabilities. Starting in 2003, LCPK will conduct advanced technology demonstrations and plans to enter the engineering and manufacturing development phase by the end of 2004. There used to be similar designs in Russia, but there was no further delve-in.

The LCPK has a maximum range of 5 km, a minimum range of 1.5 km, and weighs about 16 kg. The bomb is equipped with a dual-shaft canard rudder surface, a flight computer and a rotary deceleration device. The homing head includes an inertial navigation device, a strap-on optical fiber receiver optical seeker, a 3-axis controller, and a proportional navigation system. In the future, the use of radial vector thrust to control the direction of flight can be used to deal with targets with higher speed and better maneuverability.

During combat, the existing Jī light illuminator is used to continuously irradiate the target, and the LCPK rocket is launched, and the homing head will judge the orientation of the target according to the jī light reflected by the target, and guide the rocket to fly to the target, with a hit accuracy of about 1 meter. Compared to the "Hellfire", the LCPK has the same accuracy, the price is only $10,000, and the weight is only 1 of the former

3. At the same time, it is powerful enough to destroy aircraft, tank top armor or civil fortifications. The LCPK will allow the "Hydra" to have the ability to directly hit low-flying targets, multiplying the effectiveness of anti-aircraft combat.

Lin Yu can be said to be bound to win this Hydra missile, there is no way, there must be something that can be studied in his scientific research room in the future.

However, Lin Yu was still shocked by the starting price of this rocket, and the organizer's offer for this information was actually 23 million US dollars.

You must know that the starting price of the last armored car was only 800 US dollars, and the price of a rocket was nearly tripled.

This made Lin Yu have to feel that the auction was really a money-making thing!。
