When he was in the Far Eastern Military District, Tikhonov was appreciated by Andrey and transferred to the Moscow Military District, where he became the commander of the 4th Guards Tank Division, turning a shelf division into a well-known unit. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After that, Tikhonov showed his loyalty to the Soviets with practical actions, especially when Moscow was in turmoil and Boris mobilized some so-called "patriotic masses" to take to the streets and prepare to disrupt the order of the Soviets, the 4th Tank Division firmly carried out Marshal Andrei's order and drove into Red Square to put things right!

This army is the backbone of the Soviets!

After that, Tikhonov also rose to the rank of commander of the 1st Guards Tank Army, which included the 4th Guards Tank Division and the 32nd Guards Motorized Rifle Division, and the 144th Guards Motorized Rifle Division.

After all, this offensive line is mostly mountainous, and it is more convenient to fight in mountainous areas, motorized infantry divisions than tank divisions.

Although it is called a tank army, there is only one tank division, which does not mean that the attack power of this kind of unit is not strong enough, because the Soviet motorized infantry division, equipped with the number of tanks, in many cases, can catch up with the Western armored divisions.

Tikhonov did not enter the top of the Moscow Military District, of course, he also knew Andrei's intentions, many times, the generals who led the troops on the front line were more valuable than the high-ranking officers in the military districts, and he faithfully carried out every order of Marshal Andrei, especially now, when attacking Alaska, he rushed to the front line!

At this time, sitting in a huge ground-effect aircraft, he followed the troops directly under the group army to land in Alaska synchronously, and Tikhonov's heart was very excited.

In the past, landing on the island nation greatly dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Americans, but now, it is landing in Alaska!

At the beginning, Alaska was bought by the conspiracy of the Americans, and now, if the Americans do not return it, they will have to solve it with war!

There was the sound of rumbling engines in the cabin, and Tikhonov's gaze was fixed on those tanks in the center. These tanks, which had just entered service with their units three months earlier, were also the most advanced weapons of the Soviets!

1K-17S laser tank!

Now, the Soviets already have laser weapons in outer space, as well as ship-based laser weapons, and these laser weapons are often megawatt-level lasers, which can directly detonate missiles.

After all, the platforms for these weapons are huge, and at the same time, land-based laser weapons are also being developed intensively.

In fact, this weapon has always been secretly developed by the Soviet Union, and later generations were surprised to find that in the Soviet era, there were already laser tanks in the Soviet era!

This laser tank, which looks the same as a multi-barreled self-propelled rocket launcher, uses a tracked chassis with a fifteen-tube launcher on it, and you can see that inside each tube, there are red lenses.

This kind of laser cannon using solid aluminum oxide as the laser source needs to use a cylindrical artificial ruby crystal weighing up to 30 kilograms, because the laser produced by a laser is not powerful enough, so it requires fifteen lasers to work synchronously, through the automatic targeting system, multiple laser beams are projected onto the smooth target surface and focused together, which can produce a strong burning effect and destroy the enemy's observation and sighting equipment.

From the point of view of thinking, it has the same idea as the laser device on the Huaxia tank in later generations.

It cannot directly detonate a nuclear bomb, its greatest use is to destroy the opponent's observation and sighting equipment, which greatly limits its use conditions, and at the same time, the high cost makes the disintegrated Russia absolutely unbearable, and has become a chicken-like existence, and finally ends up being dismantled, and it cannot be finalized and put into service at all.

But now, the situation has changed a lot, and after the continuous maturity of space-based and sea-based laser weapons, this land-based laser weapons have also begun to mature!

It uses a solid-state laser, and after various technical improvements, it can finally emit a maximum power of 0.5 megawatts! This is no longer about destroying the opponent's sighting facilities, but directly destroying the opponent's weapon platform!

It doesn't matter if it's a tank on the ground, an airplane in the sky, a flying missile, or even a strategic missile, it can be destroyed!

In the atmosphere, the attenuation is very serious, and the power of this laser is not large enough, so its effective distance is at most 20 km, however, for ground weapons, the distance of 20 km is definitely long enough!

At the same time, this kind of laser also needs a powerful energy source, even if it is equipped with a generator with sufficient power, it will be limited by fuel oil, which will eventually lead to chicken ribs, so the Ural Design Bureau of Transport and Mechanical Industry in Sverdlovsk, which is responsible for the chassis of the project, is the highest research and design institution of self-propelled artillery in the Soviet Union. Under the leadership of the chief designer, Yuri Vasilevich Tomashova, a new chassis was developed specifically for it.

Outwardly, this tracked chassis is the same as the six-wheeled chassis of an ordinary self-propelled gun, but when it moves, it does not hear any internal combustion engine in it at all, only the sizzle of an electric motor. Because, it uses electric propulsion! And this power is provided by a small nuclear reactor at the rear of the hull.

Soviet technology for small nuclear reactors, which has long matured and is massively used on spacecraft, is an example, however, for the first time on land.

In addition to the issue of cost, another important point is security, this kind of weapon, is to go to the battlefield, once destroyed by the opponent's anti-tank weapons, then, will cause terrible nuclear leakage.

Therefore, the outside of this nuclear reactor is covered with thick composite armor of the latest development, and at the same time, there are various emergency measures to ensure the safety of this nuclear reactor, and the emergency shutdown can be achieved at any time. At the same time, this is only a temporary measure.

More advanced fusion reactors were also heavily invested in the Soviet Union, which was crucial to energy issues for decades to come.

The nuclear reactor provides an almost unlimited source of energy, charging the supercapacitors of the upper lasers for firing needs. When shooting with the strongest power of 0.5 megawatts, it takes a minute to fully charge.

The Fourth Tank Division is an experimental unit, and all kinds of new equipment will be tried out in this unit, so correspondingly, the cultural level of the soldiers of the Fourth Tank Division is also the highest, and many grassroots commanders are already university graduates. And now, those who operate these laser tanks have taken the corresponding courses.

There are not many laser tanks of this kind, there are only five in total, and at the same time, they will not participate in front-line battles, and specific tactics still need to be explored by soldiers.

The flight was long, and just as they were carrying out strategic transports, ahead, air battles had already begun.
