Chapter 288: Things Are Getting Bigger
The reason why the RPG-2V2 failed to detonate in time and was knocked off by the armor of the T-54 tank, forming a humiliating ricocheting phenomenon, in addition to the excellent protection of the T-54 tank, the most important reason is that the 80mm rocket equipped with the RPG-2V2 has serious defects, that is, there is no anti-slip cap in front of the warhead.
It's not that the Soviets didn't want to install it, first, when the RPG-2 was finalized and put into the troops, the tanks and armored vehicles of various countries were still eating the old books of the World War II period, and the armored defense was not so prominent; Secondly, the Soviet Union's mechanical fuse design for the 80mm rocket equipped with the RPG-2V2 was too heavy.
If you put on the skid cover on the outside, it will inevitably make the 80mm rocket, which is not very stable in flight, is very likely to deflect or fall to the ground halfway, after all, this kind of rocket that can fly, every gram of weight may change the overall performance, not to mention that the skid cover is not just a simple increase of one gram.
So the Soviet designers at that time made a bold choice, abandoning the anti-skid cover, and optimizing the front end of the 80mm rocket into a very thin conical shape, so as to reduce the air resistance during flight and enhance the overall flight performance, which was not too much of a problem at the time, but because of the reduction of related parts, the production efficiency of the 80mm rocket was improved a lot.
However, only a few years later, the world's tank technology can be said to have advanced by leaps and bounds, especially the Soviet T-54, which can be described as the culmination of the Soviet Union's World War II experience, especially the unique pot lid turret, which is not the shape of the Soviet military industry experts out of thin air, but the integration of countless armor combat experience during World War II to integrate such a unique shape with excellent protection.
But because of this, it has become the end of RPG-2V2, no way, the T-54 semi-circular turret armor was originally designed to increase the ricochet rate of incoming ammunition, coupled with the 80mm rather streamlined smooth round head, so the ricochet rate generated under the intersection can be imagined.
On the other hand, China's No. 2 recoilless gun, as early as the beginning of development, and even the future development direction of the tank Bai Yi integrated the design of the anti-slip cap into the matching 85mm armor-piercing projectile, and for this reason, the design of the fuse boldly used phenolic resin (that is, plastic) as parts.
At the same time, the structure of the fuse, spring, and firing pin detonator conduction was optimized to make the performance of the whole fuze better than that of the mechanical instantaneous bump fuse equipped with the Soviet 80mm rocket, so that it was combined with a dual-base propellant, a high-performance shaped explosive, and a smelted copper powder cover.
This is the creation of 85mm armor-piercing bullets, which can rush through, stick compactly, explode quickly, and kill powerfully!
Of course, under normal circumstances, even if the 85mm armor-piercing bullet is against the sky, it is impossible to disarm, and the T-54 tank as a target vehicle is so miserable, the key is that the Soviets are too big, and they did not expect that the new tank, which is the main force of the Soviet army's armor, can be destroyed by the inconspicuous individual rocket launcher.
Therefore, the reserve ammunition of this tank, which was temporarily withdrawn from the nearby training unit, was not lifted, and as a result, the metal jet injected by the 85mm rocket naturally ignored those and set off a different firework together with the remaining reserve ammunition.
"So that's the case, then it seems that the Soviets will definitely repent their intestines!"
After listening to Bai Yi's words, Zhao Fanghua nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at the T-54 tank in the center of the shooting range, which had long been scrap metal, and faintly heard the angry roar of the Soviet officer over there, Zhao Fanghua, who was proficient in Russian, naturally understood why the Soviet officer was pointing out to his soldiers why they didn't take out the reserve ammunition in advance.
Think about it, if you can take it out early, the result of the T-54 is at least similar to the previous "Tiger" tank, a small round hole the size of a finger is punched out outside, and a little black smoke will be nothing, then it will be the same as now, if there is a martyrdom in front of the public, the face will not only be thrown to grandma's house, but will be thrown directly into outer space.
However, when a little banter receded from Zhao Fanghua's face, what was left was an unconcealable worry, no way, this time China's No. 2 recoilless artillery was too strong, crushing the Soviet RPG-2V2 individual rocket launcher, not to mention, but also easily destroyed their latest T-54 tank.
It's a bit of a big deal, far beyond what they originally planned, but what can they do? Can you say that your second recoilless gun is so powerful that it can't stop its opponents even from its usual limits? Obviously, it is impossible, but how to face the doubts of the Soviet side? You must know that if one of them is not done well, the Soviets will become suspicious, and then it will inevitably affect the Soviet Union's assistance to China......
In a word, how to start, and how to push high~~! ~~ tide, it's not too difficult, the key is how to finish, and this requires not only courage and wisdom, but also an unparalleled opportunity!
But now, being pushed to the forefront, they don't see any opportunity at all, let alone anything else, but the angry eyes of the Soviet officers and soldiers present at them know that the two sides may not even have the slightest room to maneuver.
There is no way, today's USSR has no face, and since this is the case, it can be completely shameless......
"Don't move, I suspect that you are suspected of damaging the image of the great Soviet Red Army, and you must be investigated immediately!"
Just when Zhao Fanghua was quickly analyzing the current situation, Yaktoev began to lose face, led a team of soldiers, and surrounded Bai Yi and others without saying anything, and the T-54 tank was destroyed, which made all the Soviets present feel heartbroken, but Yaktoev's heart blossomed.
China's individual rocket launcher crushed the Soviet RPG-2V2, which already made the Soviet officers and soldiers present breathe a sigh of relief, and now they destroyed the T-54, which not only kicked many Soviets in the face, but also completely ruined the broad prospects for the future export of T-54 tanks.
So what will the bigwigs who are waiting for the T-54 tank to be sold all over the world think? As long as you use a little brain, you can know that Bai Yi, the initiators, has absolutely no good fruit to eat, since this is the case, then he Yaktoev will do the work for the bigwigs, anyway, his face has been lost in this exchange target, if he has no face, then he will simply be shameless, as long as the matter is done satisfactorily, the bigwigs will be happy, when will the face thrown out not be taken back?
So after a moment of consternation, Yaktoev rushed towards Bai Yi and the others with his soldiers, and he didn't talk nonsense and directly surrounded him and prepared to arrest people, but before he could make a move, Bai Yi laughed gloomily: "Professor Yaktoev, aren't you afraid of making things bigger?" ”
"Big trouble? Hum...... It's big enough now! ”
Yaktoev snorted disdainfully, and with a wave of his hand, he was about to arrest someone, but before the Soviet soldiers rushed up, he saw Bai Yi suddenly shouting at the shooting range: "Old Tang, are you still waiting for a bird?" I raised him for beating his bitch! ”
Before he could finish speaking, he heard an exclamation from the direction of the center of the shooting range, followed by the sound of rocket launches, and Yaktoev immediately shouted "Lie down!" ”
He took the lead in lying down, and the others were not stupid to follow suit, saying that it was too late, it was fast, and at the moment when everyone lay down, a deafening explosion spread completely, and the people who saw this scene around were shocked at the same time, and they all murmured: "This thing is really a big trouble!" ”
