Chapter 1518: Successfully blocked
The velocity of the rocket is low.
The energy of the rocket propellant is not large, and a considerable part of this energy is lost from the back of the horn, and those flames are all energy!
Advanced anti-tank guns or tank guns shoot shells at a speed of nearly one thousand meters per second, relying entirely on speed, relying on kinetic energy to kill, and piercing armor hard.
But the rocket is not, when it flies out, the speed is only more than 100 meters, at most more than 200 meters per second, this speed is quite low, and the flight is greatly affected by the wind.
And now, after the 60mm rocket flew onto the grille armor, it coincidentally avoided the grille at the very tip of its warhead.
If, unfortunately, the tip of the warhead hits directly on the grille armor, then it will be detonated immediately, and all the metal jets will penetrate the grille and then shoot into the air in front, causing a huge waste.
Now, it hasn't happened, but it's still unfortunate.
Then, it gets stuck.
Yes, this rocket, which flew only 200 meters per second, was immediately stuck in the back part after the tip passed through the grille, and at this moment, the grille armor was powerful.
What is the principle of grille armor, which can block the ammunition attack of the shaped warhead? Of course, there are cases where the warhead is directly blocked, the warhead is detonated, but this is a rather rare case.
It can be calculated by probability, and it will definitely not exceed ten percent.
Most of the rockets pass through the middle of the dense grille.
In later generations, the general shaped warhead used piezoelectric fuses, which were made of piezoelectric ceramic sheets, which were quite sensitive, and greatly reduced the possibility of duds compared with mechanical fuses.
If it happens to be stuck in the middle of the grid of the grille armor, although the fuse will not be triggered, but due to the impact effect, the wire will be shorted to the shell and cannot detonate the rocket, and the probability of this is about 60%.
And the later generation of grille armor can only defend 60% of the line, which also comes from here.
Although it can only prevent 60 percent, the rest of the time, some hit the grille and detonate in advance, and some of the gaps of tens of millimeters between the grille and the hull will reduce the power of the rocket, and then face the hull armor, greatly reducing the possibility of being penetrated.
And the fuse of this era is still an ordinary mechanical fuse.
The principle of this fuze is extremely simple, the firing pin body is usually separated from the detonator by the isolation spring, and is fixed by a steel wire safety pin, the safety pin is withdrawn before launching, when the rocket hits the target, the projectile body slows down, the firing pin body compresses the isolation spring due to inertia, fires the detonator and detonates the main charge.
Yes, the basic principle of making such a rocket fire is that the projectile slows down, and when the warhead hits the tank, the projectile slows down, and now, the projectile is stuck on the grille armor, and again, it slows down!
At the moment when the projectile body was stuck in the owner, its already unfast speed was reduced in an instant, and under this overload, the firing pin could not help it, and rushed out under the action of inertia, and hit the isolation spring in front, and then, the detonator was fired.
"Boom." With a soft sound, the internal detonator detonated the main charge, and under the action of the shaped energy shield in front, a thin stream of metal heat sprayed forward.
Under normal circumstances, it is in front of the main armor, and at this moment it begins to attack the main armor, like a laser that burns a hole in the armor.
But what is ahead of it now?
It's air.
The grille armor is welded to the outside of the tank, in order to play a good protective effect, the grille on the hull has expanded to the outside for about half a meter, and now, the metal jet from the rocket is facing the air forward, and in this half meter of air layer, it is rapidly cooling.
The metal jet finally touched the main armor, and the side armor of the hull was not thick, but it was no longer able to penetrate the metal jet in the rapid cooling, and it only left a small pit more than ten centimeters deep in the armor, and it had exhausted its last strength.
Blocked!
At the behest of the Führer, the Führer used the grille armor to block the rockets of the shaped warhead, and it was a success!
The anti-tank weapons carefully crafted by the Americans will fail in front of this layer of ordinary grille armor, not only against tanks, but even infantry fighting vehicles, with that layer of weak armor, can also be used to enhance protection with grille armor.
"Forward, keep going!" Inside the tank in front, Westhagen shouted loudly: "Let their anti-tank crews know how good we are!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, another rocket flew in, and then the Spitfire tank scorched him.
This rocket, it didn't hit at all.
One, two, the entire tank formation rushed forward to thirty meters of the opponent's forward position, and was attacked by more than 20 rockets on the way.
If it weren't for the lack of troops, they would really want to rush through the opponent's defense line in one go.
Now, their experiment has been successful.
The tank was in reverse gear and slowly retreated, leaving behind the Soviets and Nissi in a terrified position.
If you want to rely on Bazooka against German tanks, don't dream!
When the Soviets were full of hope, they poured cold water on them again, and the combination of grille armor and Spitfire tanks perfectly protected the entire formation, and this small attack brought too much shock to the Soviets.
When the experiment is successful, this experience will be spread throughout the army.
Is Bazooka powerful? It's just a burning stick.
"The timing of our offensive needs to be delayed for a few days, and then we will attack after all the tanks have been modified according to the grille armor." In the wolf's den, Ciric gets the previous report.
From strategy to tactics, Ciric will dabble in almost everything, after all, one of his small ideas will make his subordinates take a lot of detours, and a simple grille armor will make Bazooka ineffective.
At the same time, the front-line commander grouped the Spitfire tanks into it, which was also beyond his expectations. This works better.
"It's just that our bazookas have just been installed, and now, if we use bazookas to hit the Soviets' tanks, they will do the same." Keitel said.
Needless to say, you have just installed a bazooka, and it looks like it's about to lose its effect.
"This is not necessarily, after all, as a single artillery, in addition to being used to hit tanks, it can also hit pillboxes and fire points, and when the infantry has no time to summon tanks, the bazooka has a great effect." "Moreover, our bazooka is far more powerful than the Americans," Ciric said. ”
