The M1 tank, when draped in depleted uranium armor, there are constantly myths coming out, in the desert war, the T-72 tank unit lost its armor, and then it was almost invincible, giving people an impression that it was extremely strong, and felt that this kind of tank, almost without any opponent, fought in the M1 tank, that is the safest.

However, this is just the original tank of the Americans, and the tanks exported by the Americans are all monkey versions, when a certain country sent its own M1 tanks to suppress the rebellion, but was beaten by other local armed forces, and some even flew turrets.

Of course, it will be said afterwards that it is deliberately posed for a photo or something, and it is impossible for anyone to know whether it is true or not, but the myth of the M1 tank has been shattered since that time, and the myth that the Americans are the first tank in the world has disappeared.

What now?

Now the Americans' M1 tank is still boasting of being the first in the world, but it's a pity that it blasted out of the prototype with one shot, this person is a big loss!

It is said that in a modern third-generation tank such as the M1 tank, it is impossible to start a fire, because it has a perfect fire extinguishing and explosion suppression system, and once sporadic flames are found, they will be activated immediately.

However, this set of devices did not open!

That's right, it didn't open at all, because their fire control computer was faulty, and they were starting to adjust the fire control system, looking for problems, and in order to avoid interference, they turned off the fire extinguishing and explosion suppression system.

Taking a shell was originally nothing, but later even if it was found that there might be a problem, there was no way back, and at that time, the fire extinguishing and explosion suppression system had been turned off, it was ignored, and they didn't care.

As a result, without any reaction, their tank caught fire!

There was no ammunition inside the tank, otherwise it would have exploded, and now, the tank is on fire, mainly because of fuel.

Back then, on the battlefield of World War II, the Americans' Sherman tanks were almost hit by a dozen, and in the Normandy landings, forty hit tanks were counted, and thirty-three of them burned after being hit, which is high enough.

In addition to the problem of ammunition placement, an important reason is fuel, the use of gasoline as fuel, there must be this problem, the Germans also had a lot of tanks on fire, in comparison, the T-34 is much less, because people use diesel engines.

Gasoline can catch fire when it meets an open flame, but what about diesel? You can't use a lighter to light diesel directly, and that's the huge difference.

After World War II, almost all tanks began to use diesel engines, and the Americans' M1 tanks, for the first time, used gas turbines and used tall aviation fuel, which is definitely easier to ignite than gasoline!

Of course, there can only be one reason for this to happen: the tank was punched through, and the hard core, after passing through the main armor of the tank, went to the back, smashed the fuel tank or hit the engine!

"Impossible, impossible, put out the fire, put out the fire!" At this time, Derek's face was pale and his body trembled, and he would never have dreamed that the worst would happen to his tank!

The M1 tank, which is the pride of the Americans, was declared to be a tank that would never be penetrated, but as a result, it was not yet the turn of the Soviets to bombard the 125-mm guns, and it could not hold up in front of the 105-mm guns.

Supposedly, even if it is a prototype, it should be able to block it!

Didn't you hit the turret and get in from somewhere else?

By the time Derek ran over with a hollow look in his eyes, the fire engine was already spraying foam, and the fire had been brought under control in less than a minute of the M1 tank's burning.

However, the M1 tank was already hopeless.

As soon as the fire burns, all kinds of equipment inside are broken, and the entire tank hull will also change at this temperature, and the strength and the like are different, so it can only be scrapped, and there is no value for repair.

With an M1 to show, all kinds of tall performance, it is to crush the 85 tank, but I didn't expect that this tank was actually beaten!

No matter what the reason, no matter how you explain it, this sales pitch can be regarded as a complete failure.

"This tank, it's too bad, isn't it?" Berg spoke.

Kalamat on the side, his face was also extremely ugly, his lips were trembling, but he couldn't say anything, a blown up, burning tank, what else to say?

"What Chobham armor, that's it?" Mahmoud said: "Our 1st Armored Division, don't use lighters!" Let's go and see 85 tanks go! ”

The fire was still being put out over there, and a large number of Americans ran over, but the senior officials on the Lao Pak side had completely lost interest in the M1 tank.

Braggadocio!

Don't look at it so big, in fact, it doesn't stand at all, who dares to use this kind of tank?

"It must have passed through the thinnest place, if it was the frontal main armor, or the cannon shield, it would definitely not look like this, absolutely impossible!" Derek's voice was loud, still shouting over there, at this time the fire had been extinguished, only black smoke remained, and the high-pressure water cannon used for fire fighting rushed over, and suddenly, all those covered foams were washed away.

The turret, the main armor, the gun shield on the left, it is clear that there is a burned iron hole there!

The hole was not big, that is, slightly thicker than the piercing rod of the armor-piercing bullet, but it had been pierced, and the hole seemed to be laughing at them, and there were some metal slippers churning outside, as if they were crying.

"How is that possible? Even if we only have homogeneous armor steel, the thickness is 130 mm, plus that large inclination, when it comes over, the equivalent thickness is already close to the order of three hundred millimeters, how can the armor-piercing bullets produced by the big countries in the East have such a deep armor-piercing ability? Not even the original British armor-piercing shells! ”

Not only Derek, but everyone else at this time was speechless, and their data on their tanks were clear. The data with the addition of composite armor is clear, and this original tank with homogeneous armor steel is even clearer.

That's right, this is a prototype car, which is mainly to test the power performance, so the tank hull and turret did not engage in complex composite armor at all, and the most ordinary armor steel was just used!

This is also something that Derek doesn't know very well, and when Shuke said it, he immediately sank in his heart, but at that time, he still held on to hope, even if it was homogeneous steel, it was thick enough, and the inclination angle was large enough, who would have thought that it would be easily penetrated by others!

Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?
