In the car, Professor Wang Limin said to Qin Zhenhua: "Your first machine factory is to build tanks, and we are to fight tanks, are you afraid?" ”

When Professor Wang Limin said this, he made Qin Zhenhua laugh: "Elder Wang, it seems that our Red Arrow-8 anti-tank missile is very powerful." ”

If you want to penetrate the armor of the tank, there are two main ways, the tail stabilized shelling armor-piercing projectile, which mainly uses kinetic energy to kill, relying on a thin and long bullet bar to penetrate the armor of the tank, this way, anti-tank missiles can not do.

Its speed is not particularly high, only a few hundred meters per second, after all, it uses a rocket engine, and because it is unstable when it just flies out, it is not accurate to hit targets at close range, and can only hit long-distance targets.

Why doesn't it increase speed?

The concubine can't do it, this kind of missile, using a wired guidance scheme, while flying forward, while constantly dragging two lines from behind, the anti-tank war in 73 years, so that the AT-3 missile is famous, and when the battle is over, the battlefield, there are scattered wires everywhere.

While flying, release the wire backwards, if the speed of the flight is too fast, the wire cannot keep up, and the wire will be torn off.

Therefore, even if there is a more advanced rocket engine, it cannot be installed, its speed is not fast, and the wired guidance method will have to be used for a long time, until after the new millennium, what infrared imaging and other technologies are developed, and what will be realized after launch.

Although the speed is not high, people don't rely on kinetic energy to kill at all, they rely on metal jets.

This is called a shaped warhead, through a conical charge, after the explosion, the explosive burns the brass powder cover in front, and then this hot metal jet burns the tank armor, like a gas cut, constantly burning the armor, all the way to the armor through. (Shaped warhead, hollow charge warhead, it should be said that it is one thing, right?) East China Zhixiong thinks so. ）

Therefore, this armor-piercing process is no longer a hard hit, it belongs to an alternative kind of killing, the metal jet burns through the main armor of the tank before the energy disappears, then it is victorious, the metal jet that rushes into it will detonate the contents of the tank, of course, if you are lucky enough, maybe it has just burned through the thigh of the tanker, and it has disappeared.

If the energy is exhausted and does not burn through, then the armor of the tank is victorious.

However, because there is no need for speed restrictions, more charges can be charged, so, judging from the data, the armor-piercing depth of anti-tank missiles is very scary, and their own Red Arrow 73 anti-tank missiles have an armor-piercing depth of 500 mm.

As for the Red Arrow-8, as a domestically produced second-generation anti-tank missile, the performance is definitely higher, although I don't know the specific value, but it will definitely scare people to death when I say it.

Wang Limin said this, but Qin Zhenhua shook his head with a smile: "What are you afraid of, to deal with anti-tank missiles, we have explosive reactive armor, use this thing, and blow it up directly." ”

The 82-year war has made the explosive reactive armor show its face greatly, and the relevant departments in China have also launched research and development, so when Wang Limin asked Qin Zhenhua if he was afraid, Qin Zhenhua talked about this problem.

"Yes, explosive reactive armor is a great threat to our shaped warhead." Professor Wang Limin said: "However, it is also very easy to resolve it, and a retractable threading rod can solve the problem. ”

Anti-tank missiles mainly rely on metal jets, and explosive reactive armor is very useful for this kind of killing, just at the moment when the anti-tank missile collided, we exploded with a bang, and those metal jets, the metal jets that were originally gathered together, were directly exploded, and the power can be greatly reduced.

So, no matter how deep you claim, 500 mm, 800 mm, or even 1,000 mm, it is invalid, and in our case, the metal jet will collapse in one fell swoop!

"Retractable metal thread poles? Detonate early? Qin Zhenhua asked, "It's really smart, who came up with it?" ”

"Americans." Professor Wang Limin said: "Their Tao anti-tank missile is improved in this way. ”

The Tao anti-tank missile of the Americans, which is also famous, after the basic model entered service in the seventies, various improvements were constantly underway.

By 1981, this improved model had entered the troops, and in response to the appearance of explosive reactive armor, it made such an improvement: a retractable two-section probe with a length of about 305 mm was installed at the front end.

What's the use of this?

When encountering explosive reactive armor, detonate it in advance, this thing, after the explosion, it is useless, and then the missile is pasted again, and the opposite armor is burned through with the double-cone pill-shaped cover and the more powerful LX-14 high-energy explosive, and its armor-piercing thickness has increased to 800 mm.

Then, the improved "Tao 2" also appeared, this probe became a retractable 3-section probe with a length of about 540mm, and the diameter of the warhead was increased from 127mm to 152mm, and the thickness of the armor piercing in the propaganda has reached a terrible order of magnitude of one meter!

Qin Zhenhua has been busy in recent years, and he hasn't paid too much attention to this aspect, so he didn't expect that it would be solved in this way.

"Tanks and anti-tank weapons have always been a process of coming and going, constantly improving, and finally showing a spiraling process." Finally, Qin Zhenhua said something like this: "However, I don't think it's smart to use this probe. ”

"Huh? What do you mean by that? Professor Wang Limin asked.

"The technology of explosive reactive armor will become more and more advanced, and it may not be able to detonate if you poke it by relying on that pole." Qin Zhenhua said: "After all, the speed is not fast enough, otherwise, if the tank crashes, will the speed make the explosive reactive armor detonate?" ”

This was a simple response that solved some problems, however, after the continued advancement of explosive reactive armor technology, this solution became ineffective.

"yes, how do you fix that?" Professor Wang Limin asked.

"Since we have this retractable probe again, why not add a small shaped warhead directly to the top of this probe? The probe may not be able to hit the reactive armor, but the metal jet will definitely make it explode, which is definitely a 100% chance, so that it can be more secure. ”

Later, the technology of explosive reactive armor will be developed, and you will definitely be able to recognize the probe, if you want to stab Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will not blow it up!

However, if the metal jet comes over, it will definitely blow up, otherwise, then what good is it?
