Chapter 863: Phantom Apocalypse

Li Lan and Obama and his entourage did not stay here for too long, not that the Getter cannon was not attractive, but it really didn't have much to look at, and the simple appearance was seen in a few glances.

However, the weapons on the next fourth booth shocked Obama and others no less than the previous three weapons combined.

The area of the fourth booth is huge. Above it was a very smooth-looking tank, so smooth that not even a periscope could be seen, with only a body, a turret, and a barrel of more than 130 mm caliber.

The second thing that struck me was the tank's apparently huge body, which was devoid of any external embellishment, surpassing any active main battle tank in the world.

The third shock point is the dense square camouflage painted on the entire tank, the appearance of the whole tank is colorful at a glance, as if 360 kinds of color differences can be found on it, fortunately, no one present has a dense phobia, otherwise there will be a feeling of numbness in the scalp at a glance.

The shocked Obama and the others felt their insignificance in front of ground combat weapons for the first time, and Li Lan couldn't open his mouth at all, so he said loudly: "Is this the fourth-generation main battle tank?" ”

The news about Somalia's development of the fourth-generation main battle tank was made by Li Lan in his State of the Union address more than a year ago, and this news has also become the news that all countries are concerned about. When Obama saw this huge tank, his first thought was, naturally, the fourth-generation Somali tank.

Fourth-generation tanksMany developed countries have developed a direction for the current three-and-a-half-generation main battle tanks, and like fighters, the fourth-generation main battle tanks must have a complete advantage over the third-generation and a half-generation main battle tanks.

According to the form of the war. The performance of the fourth-generation main battle tank must also have various stealth capabilities, not just stealth for ground search radar. It must also have the ability of infrared stealth, and the attack and defense must completely suppress the third-generation and a half main battle tanks. At the same time, it is even more necessary to have independent air defense capabilities.

The fourth-generation main battle tank has been listed as a key research object by many countries, but few countries have been able to produce results.

Secondly, if such a tank is really completed, the tonnage of the tank will be incomparably huge, and it is expected that the tonnage will not be less than seventy-five tons, or even reach one hundred tons. Such a huge tank has made eighty percent of the world's countries reluctant to give up.

Craft a tank that can't cross the bridge. In the end, it is a fixed turret that becomes a target for strikes, and the cost performance is not even as good as that of the third-generation tank.

The United States began the development of the fourth-generation main battle tank very early, but it has not made much progress, and it has even been abandoned for a long time, after all, the performance of the Abrams is enough for the Americans. If it weren't for Li Lan's announcement that Somalia would develop a fourth-generation main battle tank, the United States would not have revived the program that it had abandoned for many years.

So, when Obama saw the tank in front of him. The shock in my heart can be imagined.

Obama is well aware of the lethality of this weapon, and although the United States does not have a deep understanding of Somali military technology, Americans will study the combat effectiveness of a possible weapon as soon as possible.

Africa is not Europe. There are not so many bridges, and the environment is similar to that of the Middle East, either plateaus or deserts. The number of bridges is pitiful. Here not to mention a 100-ton tank, but a 200-ton weapon. As long as you can walk, there is no problem at all. It will not become a fixed turret at all because of the bridge.

The Americans are well aware of the tactical purpose of the Somalis in the study of the fourth-generation main battle tank. Once a war breaks out, then the United States will have to face a problem, that is, what weapons to use against the fourth-generation main battle tank?

The emergence of the fourth-generation main battle tank means that the so-called three-and-a-half-generation main battle tanks are completely outdated, and even the most powerful anti-tank missiles in service in various countries cannot help the fourth-generation main battle tanks.

Moreover, the fourth-generation main battle tank also has a feature, that is, it completely bids farewell to the top and northern weak points of the tank, and it is the all-round defense that makes the weight of the tank uncontrollable.

In an engagement, such a tank is bound to become a nightmare for any army, and it is too painful to face a tank that cannot be killed and can dodge all kinds of reconnaissance equipment.

"I'm really ashamed that this tank has not been completely finalized at the moment, this is just a 1:1 model with no appearance." Li Lan shook his head and said with a little regret, when the corners of his eyes swept to the twitches of Obama's mouth, his heart was extremely proud.

It is a very fulfilling thing to be able to make arrogant Americans lose their temper in front of themselves, and the object of this gesture is still the first person in the United States, and Li Lan is already cool to the bone.

As for the tank in front of him, Li Lan told a lie, because this tank was the fourth prototype of the elite-level Apocalypse tank. After several years of hard work by the scientists in the combat room, the elite level of the Apocalypse Tank has almost been finalized.

If it weren't for the fact that it has not been approved by the base due to some detail problems, the tank factory has already begun to produce this tank.

After he got the information of the Phantom Tank from the gift package at the base and handed it over to the group of science maniacs, the elite-level research and development direction of the Apocalypse Tank had already been determined.

Firepower and defense have always been the representatives of the Apocalypse tank, naturally there is no need to emphasize, the earliest prototype was a super big guy with two barrels, weighing one hundred and fifty tons, but the speed and huge bloated body of the pit father did not meet the tactical needs at all, and it was directly cut.

Under the test again and again, the direction of research and development has also been determined, and finally a plan that conforms to the layout of the future tank, under a large number of tests, the shape was finally determined, and the tonnage has been slowly reduced from the initial 120 tons to the current combat weight of 95 tons.

Combined with the Apocalypse Tank's strong defense and attack power, coupled with the optical stealth effect of the Phantom Tank, it can even achieve a certain amount of visual deception. And all kinds of electronic equipment on the tank are integrated into the armor of the body, and even the periscope equipment of the crew is also integrated in the body armor, and the people on the outside look like a very smooth tank, but in the body armor, there are many miniature electronic devices.

In the original tank armor, there are actually many small holes, and the entire armor shell has a mesh hole like a colander, which not only does not affect the armor's defense, but even brings a spider's silk-like toughness to the armor's defense.

In terms of firepower, the main gun on the Mirage Apocalypse tank is 132 mm, and two rotatable coaxial machine guns are hidden in the barrel. And the greatest masterpiece of the entire tank is the hidden anti-aircraft missile launcher in the tail of the turret.

The Mirage Apocalypse tank is more than ten meters long, the turret is as narrow as the body, the length reaches six and a half meters, and the space for the members is the same as that of a normal tank, but with such a long turret tail, it is a completely closed structure.

It is equipped with a unit like a vertical launch system of a naval warship, and the thick turret armor in the south is actually like a honeycomb, equipped with 24 vertical launch tubes, which are launched by air-cooling, and at the top of the turret, there are small doors that can be opened, and when it is necessary to launch anti-aircraft missiles, the small doors will be opened, and the anti-aircraft missiles inside will be ejected to attack low-altitude and ultra-low-altitude targets that threaten the safety of the tank.

It's just that due to the limitations of the height and weight of the tank's body, the range of the anti-aircraft missiles loaded on it is a little longer than that of ordinary portable anti-aircraft missiles. And the biggest advantage of this anti-aircraft missile layout is that the reaction speed is very fast, and it is controlled by the integrated combat system of the tank, and there is no need to even deliberately think about the operation, and the radar will take the initiative to carry out air defense when it detects the approach of a dangerous target.

Now, there is no explanation for this prototype car placed at the national defense exhibition, and no one can touch this prototype car in a closed booth. Li Lan described it as a model, and no one could refute it.

However, after seeing this thing, it doesn't matter whether it is a model or not, the most important thing is that Somalia already has results in this area, and this is enough.

At least, after seeing this so-called model, Obama has only one thought in his heart, in the future, his army must have weapons to restrain this thing, and he can't use his three and a half generations of Abrams to smash such a big guy.

With a lot of thoughts in his heart, Obama didn't stop and asked: "The first fourth-generation main battle tank in the future world is really domineering." ”

Wearing the top hat sent by Obama, Li Lan felt at ease, but did not deny anything, and replied: "No one can say anything about science and technology, maybe when, other countries will make breakthroughs, we are just a few steps early, but it is too early to say whether we will finally reach the end." ”

Listening to the superiority revealed in Li Lan's mouth, Obama was quite helpless in his heart, if it was before seeing the results of these weapons, then he would directly refute it, and now he understands that although Somalia's technology has not surpassed the United States, it is no longer far from the United States.

The United States has hidden scientific and technological capital, and he does not think that Somalia does not have it, and there was no news about these weapons in front of him before, and now they suddenly appear in front of his eyes, who knows how many research results in Somalia have not yet been taken out.

A brief look at the four booths has made Obama put away all the arrogance in his heart, and his mentality has also changed greatly, and he admitted that Li Lan's effect has been achieved, and with Somalia's scientific research strength, he already has the ability to compete with the United States.

Now, he is more interested in the next trip. Anyway, now that it's been stimulated, it's better to watch it a little more at once, so that this stimulation can be more violent. (To be continued......)
