Andrey's method has minimal changes to the structure of the T-72, and at the same time can have the greatest effect, and Kartsev immediately decided, and after going back, he immediately reported to the General Directorate of Armored Forces, applied for the establishment of the project, and developed this reactive armor as soon as possible! This Andre, no wonder he climbed to the position of deputy commander at a young age, this brain is really different from ordinary people, the idea is too unique, and it is too correct!

Hearing that Andrei had new ideas, Kartsev immediately took out his notebook and had to memorize them one by one. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Sitting on the back butt of the T-72, Andrei said: "Our reactive armor, after it is built, can be spread on the hull armor, but the armor on the turret needs to be welded to make the reactive armor form an inclined plane on the turret to further increase the bulletproof effect." ”

What Andre said is actually the shape of the tank turret in later generations, like the Huaxia Type 99, after improvement, it was equipped with an additional module, and it became the shape of the falcon at the front end of the turret of the Leopard 2A6, which was popularly called the milk cover in later generations.

At this time, the Soviet tank, or a cast turret, paid attention to streamlining, increasing the probability of the opponent's ricochet, which was outdated, and the armor was placed obliquely, which could artificially increase the thickness under the same weight, after all, the opponent's armor-piercing projectiles flew again, and it was not the thickness of the armor, but the oblique distance.

Kartsev nodded yes, that's a good idea!

"Also, our armor-piercing bullets can further increase the aspect ratio and increase the depth of penetration." Andrei said: "Our current tank guns are still not powerful enough to deal with the new tanks that are about to be finalized and equipped by the West. ”

Aspect ratio! I don't know what the old hairymen think. It has always been important to pay attention to the five major and three coarse, and the same is true for armor-piercing bullets. Look at Lao Maozi's armor-piercing bullets, they are thick and short. The length-to-diameter ratio is only about ten, while the length-to-diameter ratio of Western armor-piercing shells far exceeds ten, or even twenty, twenty-five, thirty!

The ratio of length to diameter, the ratio of length to diameter, Dr. Anderson of the West in later generations has repeatedly studied armor-piercing bullets and obtained a simple formula. The depth of armor penetration, in addition to the relationship with speed, is the most important aspect ratio!

The 3BM42 armor-piercing shells used by the main T-80U and T-90 main battle tanks belong to the new generation of Russia's main APFSDS, and the shell body is still thick and short, and the vertical armor penetration depth is only 450 mm at a distance of 2000 meters, which cannot destroy the main armor of Western tanks at all.

And at the same time. Although the caliber of the 125-mm tank gun in China is the same as that of the Soviet Union, it was developed by absorbing the essence of the Western world, and the ratio of armor-piercing shells to length to diameter has long reached 25. When using tungsten alloy tail stabilized shell-piercing shells, it was possible to penetrate 850 mm of homogeneous armor at a distance of 2000 meters.

(Although there are constantly people who are blind ****, saying that the power of Huaxia's 125 mm tank gun is only 450 mm.) Some even say that it is only 220 mm, and they are pursuing the power of artillery fire. At any time, facing the rolling armored torrent of the north, the construction of armored forces. It's always been quite important. Although this 125 mm tank gun has some origins with the 2A46, the 120 mm smoothbore gun has long been studied in China at that time, and the 125 mm caliber was selected after careful comparison. It can be said that it combines the advantages of the East and the West, coupled with an enlarged medicine room, well-designed armor-piercing shells, and the main battle tanks that penetrate the West, which is definitely not an empty word, cheers for our country's tanks! ）

"Increase the aspect ratio?" "This makes our armor-piercing shells longer and can't fit on our automatic loaders," Kartsev said. ”

"It can be made a little more detailed." "Increasing the aspect ratio can be either an increase in length or a decrease in diameter," Andre said. Using these two methods at the same time, it is best to compromise, and if you can achieve a length-to-diameter ratio of 25 to 1, you can get the best armor-piercing effect. ”

"But that will cause the armor-piercing projectile to be not strong enough, and maybe it will disintegrate in flight." Kartsev continued.

"Increasing the strength can make the core of the entire armor-piercing projectile use high-strength tungsten alloy." "It's going to be costly, but it's definitely worth it in terms of power," Andre said. You can also put another layer of steel sleeve on the outside of the armor-piercing bullet to further increase the strength. ”

Now, the Soviet Union's 125-mm tank guns have been in service for nearly ten years, however, the armor-piercing shells of the early equipment troops are all powder-condensed piercing rods, basically only one armor-piercing head is tungsten alloy, and the rear section is still made of steel, such as 3BM26, and with the mass production of T-72, in order to reduce costs, a large number of second-line troops are equipped with cheaper 3BM15 steel armor-piercing shells, which are completely made of steel, without any tungsten alloy, and the export model of this armor-piercing projectile, It is the famous Iraqi 3BM17 in the Gulf War, which is a complete cheat.

In later generations, the Soviet Union successfully developed the main 3BM42 tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullet in 86, which was covered with a layer of steel on the outside of tungsten alloy because of its insufficient strength.

Andrei's words, every sentence is like an enlightenment, so that Kartsev can't help but admire, Andrei is really a genius!

Although the T-72 is a low-grade product, to pursue quantitative superiority, but now on the island country, there will be a war at any time, this kind of local war, there is no need for the Soviet Union to tighten the belt, and the kind of armor-piercing bullet that Andrei said, you can start testing after you go back, if it is really as he said, increase the ratio of length to diameter to 25 to one, and change it to the overall tungsten alloy, which can greatly increase the depth of armor penetration, then the Soviet tank is a nightmare for the Western world!

Reactive armor may take longer, but this armor-piercing bullet can be made at any time. Split shells, ****** don't need to change, just make a few armor-piercing shells.

"In fact, it is better to use depleted uranium as a material for armor-piercing bullets, and it can also burn in the process of armor-piercing, increasing the effect of armor-piercing." Andrei continued.

The Soviet Union has abundant tungsten ore and can smelt a large amount of tungsten alloy, unlike the West, which uses depleted uranium armor-piercing shells because of the scarcity of tungsten production. However, the power of depleted uranium armor-piercing shells is indeed greater than that of tungsten alloy, and anyway, there are so many research institutes in the Soviet Union, maybe they can make more powerful armor-piercing shells.

As for what kind of radiation or something, anyway, it was launched on the enemy's territory, and Andrei didn't care so much! (To be continued.) )
