800, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the Great Power Heavy Tan!

The specific results of the battle, the Soviet side is aware, in the outbreak of battles, the most elite T-72 tank in the Rose Country and Israel's Merkava tank battle, almost into a war of attrition, both sides can kill each other with one blow, this is considered to kill the enemy 1,000 and hurt 1,000 themselves.

The T-72 is equipped with a 125mm 2A46 smoothbore tank gun, which can blast off the opponent's armor with one shot and make the opponent scrapped, even if the Merkava tank pushes out the engine as armor, which can protect their tank, but the Merkava that breaks the engine will become a pile of scrap metal. At the same time, the T-72, which was invincible in defense in the propaganda, was actually bombarded by a small 105 mm barrel, which also began to make the Soviets feel a huge shock.

Now, at a distance of two thousand meters, their T-72 tank has been pierced through the upper armor from the front, which is an unacceptable achievement.

This means that their T-72 tanks, once they officially enter the war, will not be able to withstand the bombardment from the opposite side at all!

When I got closer, I found that not all the bullet holes were open, some were penetrated, some were not, and as for the craters in the turret, almost all of them were not transparent.

"At a distance of two thousand meters, their armor-piercing projectiles, penetrating the armor on the head of our hull, is a probability event, some will penetrate, some will not penetrate, as for hitting our turret, it is impossible to work." After looking at this already scarred tank, the results of the analysis came out.

Their own T-72A tank is not completely able to resist the attack of this armor-piercing projectile, this is the result of a distance of two thousand meters, it is conceivable that next, if you test the attack effect of one thousand meters, the possibility of breakdown will be greatly increased!

As a tank designer, Kartsev is quite familiar with the structure of this armor, the structure is very simple, that is, 60 mm rolled homogeneous steel armor on the outside, a double layer of 105 mm fiberglass sandwich panels in the middle, and finally a 50 mm rolled homogeneous steel armor back plate lined inside, it is said that this protection is already very good, but there is still no way to perfectly protect against the attack of M111 armor-piercing shells!

Israel is even now starting to propagate that their armor-piercing shells are Hebrew blades!

"Their tungsten alloy piercing rod is quite advanced in manufacturing technology, and the length-to-diameter ratio is very good, it seems that we underestimated the armor-piercing ability of this shell." Looking at the results of this test, Kartsev said with a heavy heart.

At present, on the opposite side of them, NATO's armored clusters, which mainly use 105-mm tank guns, have figured out the performance of these armor-piercing shells through the intelligence department, and originally thought that the T-72 could be prevented, at least the T-72A for their own use, who would have thought that in the end they were underestimated!

They actually have a much newer type of armor-piercing bullet!

In fact, the new armor-piercing projectile, codenamed M111, is already the most powerful armor-piercing projectile in the West! The Israelis are the best at doing business, and this war has made the name of the M111 armor-piercing projectile, so they also have the idea of selling this armor-piercing projectile.

Now, Kartsev said this, and everyone's mood became heavy.

Their T-72A, they can't protect against such armor-piercing shells! Can't be perfectly prevented! After the end of this war, this M111 armor-piercing projectile will definitely spread in large numbers in the Western camp, and at that time, their tanks will face a greater threat.

After all, almost all of the tanks of NATO's main force are this No. 105 tank gun, which means that they can all have such strong combat effectiveness!

What to do?

"We not only need to improve the protection capability of the T-72 tanks produced in the future, but also the existing T-72 tanks must be improved." said an officer of the Design Bureau of the Armored Forces.

Now the Soviet army was already armed with a large number of T-72 tanks! After this shock, the tanks on their production line must be improved, the transition from T-72A to T-72B, then, what about the T-72 tanks in the troops now?

The huge number of T-72s cannot be replaced in full, so they can only find ways to improve the protection of this tank, and this is a top priority!

What to do?

"It seems that we can no longer take it lightly." "We are going to weld the front of the hull of the current tank with a layer of 25 mm thick high-speed steel armor, which is the same angle as the tilt angle on the nose of the T72 hull, so that it should be able to resist!" Get your hands on it today! ”

Kartsev's idea of solving the problem is very simple, now since the armor is not thick enough, then it is better to add another layer of armor, not too much, 25 mm of armor steel is enough, after all, there is such a large inclination.

This is also a contingency measure.

The M111 armor-piercing projectile can penetrate your own armor, which is also wandering between what you can and can't, and adding another layer is enough to be safe.

You don't have to go back to the factory, you can repair it in the field here today, make up the holes, add a layer of armor to the outside, and then test it tomorrow!

If the M111 armor-piercing shell can't penetrate, then you can concoct it in the same way and transform all the T-72 tanks!

"As for the tanks produced in the future, I think we can't be stingy anymore, and we will definitely be able to block them if they are fully replaced with ceramic armor." Kartsev said.

"Nope." As soon as he finished speaking, the officer spoke: "The price of ceramic armor is too expensive to be produced in large quantities, you need to find a way in low-end materials." ”

Now, the most advanced product in the Soviet tank force is the T-80, the power has a gas turbine, and the armor has advanced ceramic composite armor, but the T-80 tank is used as a high-end goods, according to the experience of the Great Patriotic War, this tank must not be able to produce equipment in large quantities, accustomed to the T-34 tank sea tactics during World War II, they cannot increase the production cost of the T-72, such an expense, too expensive.

Ceramic armor is too expensive, don't use it, you think of another way!

Something else? Kartsev frowned, it's a little more expensive, it's better than being pierced on the battlefield, right? However, the choice of the top also has their reasons, no matter what technology is advanced, they care about the cost, and the T-72 was able to win at the beginning, relying on reliability and cost advantages.

So, what kind of solution do you have to think of to solve the problem? Kartsev's eyes were aimed at the captured M60 tank, which was still hung with some explosive reactive armor, and the brick-like devices looked a little dazzling.

Kartsev's eyes lit up.
