After years of research, the Soviets' artillery missiles, in the eighties, finally matured.

The first type of 9M112 Cobra missile is already a breakthrough, this missile uses a cartridge loading structure, and the propellant is not much, so the muzzle velocity is 125 meters per second, and the engine ignites after flying out, with a maximum speed of 800 meters per second, so that the average speed is between 350 and 400 meters per second, and it takes about ten seconds to fly to the maximum range of 4000 meters.

At the maximum range, the hit rate is eighty percent, but at 1000 meters the hit rate is low.

These are determined by the characteristics of the missile.

There are a large number of electronic components inside the missile, and these parts cannot withstand the strong acceleration, so it is impossible to accelerate as quickly as an armor-piercing bullet in the barrel, and the muzzle velocity is thousands of kilometers per second when it goes out, and under this acceleration, the internal circuits are estimated to be destroyed.

At the same time, for missiles, the performance at close range is not good, this has seen the most commonly used anti-tank missile of the Soviets, you know, when it just took off, it was crooked, like a fly without a head, and with the continuous take-off, the speed became faster and faster, and it stabilized, so the anti-tank missile thing also left such a bad reputation: short-sightedness. It's not accurate to hit at close range, but it's only possible to hit it far away!

At the same time, the performance of this missile is quite good, the power of vertical static armor piercing is 600 mm. This kind of power is enough to penetrate the armor of the main tanks in service, which is also a powerful counterattack weapon for the Soviet tank crews in the face of European tanks.

At the same time, because it uses a metal jet to attack, it has nothing to do with the speed of the projectile, and it will not reduce the power due to the long distance.

This 9M112 is a major breakthrough in the history of tank gun-launched missiles: it can be fired directly from the 64-mm guns of the T-80B and T-125B main battle tank tanks, without the need for specialized tank guns. It's a pity that due to the use of radio command guidance, the method is too backward and was quickly eliminated.

After this tank artillery missile, the Soviets have developed several artillery missiles in succession, such as 9M117, which can be mounted on a 100 mm tank gun, which is an effective way to rejuvenate the old tank, relying on it, the T-55 can also fight against the Leopard-2, at the same time, this missile has improved the guidance method, using laser beam guidance and guidance, this missile, which is still under development, will not be installed until 1985.

At the same time, due to the outdated guidance method of the 9M112, they have also improved it, the 9M119 missile, which is a newer missile, has a maximum firing range of 5000 meters, an average flight speed of up to 800 meters per second, and an armor-piercing thickness of 770 mm with reactive armor.

At the same time, due to the high flight speed, the missile flew over for a short time, so it can be said that the overall performance has been greatly improved, and this missile was equipped with Soviet troops in 1986.

In short, the artillery-launched missile developed by the Soviets has already entered the house, and it will soon become a replacement product for when the performance of tank guns is insufficient.

In fact, China is also developing artillery-launched missiles, but it is limited by the backwardness of technology, which has led to no progress in domestic artillery-launched missiles.

At present, although the Soviets' artillery-launched missiles have not yet been exported, since they can now obtain T-72 tanks by means of means, it is not impossible to get Soviets' artillery-launched missiles in the future.

In this way, the 125-mm tank gun has one more way: it can fire artillery missiles!

The main role of artillery missiles is to extend the range of tank guns, although the 120 mm tank guns can hit 3,000 meters away, but in real use, it is not enough to be sure within 2,000 meters, because during this time, the opponent's tank is also in the process of maneuvering, and when the shells fly over, people may brake sharply, or accelerate sharply to dodge.

However, there is no way to dodge the artillery-launched missile, because the artillery-launched missile itself can change its flight trajectory and aim at the target at all times, which is naturally more secure.

At the same time, artillery missiles can not only be used against the enemy's tanks, but also can be used against the enemy's armed helicopters, in this regard, artillery missiles have a unique advantage, with the development of technology, this situation has become more and more obvious, to the future, the biggest threat to the tank force is not the enemy's tank, but a tree-high armed helicopter! When the helicopter gunship flies over, your own tank can also hit the opponent with artillery missiles!

At present, the electronics are not advanced enough, so a 125 mm caliber is thicker than a 120 mm caliber, which naturally makes it easier to cram the device in.

Now, with one more bonus, artillery missiles!

At present, this kind of missile is still a thing, but after all, this is a direction of development, and it is conceivable that this thing may become a reality in the future, so that the tank troops can have another preemptive weapon!

By the time the meeting ended, it was late at night.

When Xie Huimin walked out of the room, his eyes were full of unwillingness and loss, he didn't expect that the 120mm tank gun that he had always pinned high hopes on would be defeated, although no matter what kind of tank gun it was, it was finally made by their second machine factory, but a second child who had never been born squeezed the boss to death, which still gave them a mentality similar to the sadness of a rabbit and a fox.

It's so frustrating.

"Old Xie." Just then, a voice came from behind him.

Xie Huimin turned his head and looked at the familiar figure, the 120mm cannon was denied, this person obviously played a very important role, now, Xie Huimin didn't think it was Qin Zhenhua's fault, but there were always some pimples in his heart.

"Well, Zhenhua, what's the matter?" Xie Huimin said to Qin Zhenhua: "My mind is a little messy now, if there is nothing important, then goodbye." ”

He is in a bad mood now, he doesn't want to say anything, and he can also guess what Qin Zhenhua means, he came to himself, is he here to apologize, or to explain his vision?

No matter what it is, Xie Huimin doesn't want to listen to it now, and if he wants to accept one thing, it takes time, Xie Huimin knows the various benefits of the 125mm gun, and it will take a certain amount of time before he can reverse his mentality and devote himself to the research and development of the 125mm tank gun.

As for now, forget it, and don't rush this night.
