Almost after the Scud missiles took off, Iraq's ground armored forces began to raid again! They are only 200 kilometers away from Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia!

The T-72 tank is in the desert, crossing one sand dune after another, there are no roads here, there are roads everywhere!

In the midst of the turre, Ali stretched his body out of the turret, holding a telescope, and looked ahead. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Just half an hour ago, a MiG-25R reconnaissance plane of our own side flew over here, and the reconnaissance showed photos showing that the ground forces of the Saudi and American armies were attacking the desert and setting up a defensive line, if nothing else, the two sides would soon encounter.

This battle is indispensable, after all, if you want to attack Riyadh, you will encounter Riyadh's defensive forces! Instead of fighting the defenders of Riyadh in street battles, kill them in the desert outside!

This is not a detour that can be solved, the route of their own advance will be captured by the American AWACS aircraft overhead, although an American AWACS aircraft was killed at dawn, but the Americans are already vigilant, the AWACS aircraft is in the inland rear, there are a large number of fighters to protect, if you want to snipe again, you need to pay more price.

If you can't take a detour, then fight with dignity! Iraq's army can shake any strong enemy head-on!

Ali is confident.

Suddenly, inside the telescope, clumps of yellow sand were filled, and in front of these rolled up yellow sands, there were several small moving yellow images, desert paint, and the armored troops of the Saudis!

used to be good brothers, but now, they are out-and-out mortal enemies! Iraq did not take the initiative to invade Saudi Arabia, but Saudi Arabia allowed the Americans to be stationed in their country, and even sent warplanes to attack targets in Iraq, and even caused serious injuries to its own president!

The interruption of the broadcast cannot be concealed, although the Iraqi official has not yet issued a statement, many people know that their own president is afraid that he has been seriously injured!

This revenge must be avenged!

"Attention, Saudi armored targets have been spotted ahead, ready to attack!" On the radio, Ali gave the order.

With the bombing of the Prince Sultan airbase, several electronic jammers of the United States were destroyed and could not take off, and now, the United States no longer has the advantage of electromagnetic power!

In fact, even if the United States is not afraid of interference, the tanks of Ali's Hammurabi division have been replaced with the latest frequency-hopping radios, and the anti-jamming ability is very strong.

At the same time, the Saudi armored brigade on the opposite side also spotted this armored unit that was breaking through.

In the desert, even if the tanks are dyed with desert paint, it is very convenient to observe, because, after the tank drives by, the yellow sand stirred up by the tracks will be more than two meters high! It is most comfortable to drive a tank in front, and the tank soldiers in the back have to eat sand together.

"Attention, the tanks that invaded Iraq were found, ready for battle!" Mohammed, the commander of the Saudi armored brigade here, also gave the order to fight.

All AMX-30 tanks imported from France.

In this era, the Saudi Army has not yet imported American M1 tanks, and that was after the Gulf War, although these monkey versions of M1 tanks were quite humiliating in the fighting in Yemen, and that was also Uncle Sam's. Now, the main armament of the Saudi Army is the American-made M60 tank and the French-made AMX-30 tank.

AMX-30, the crystallization of France's independent defense industry, this tank originally originated in 56 years, France, the Federal Republic of Germany and Italy drafted a joint requirement for the design of a European main battle tank, they wanted to choose the best through cooperative development, and at the same time reduce costs. Unfortunately, as with other projects in history, the European union ended up being a ramp-and-file end, with the three countries parting ways, France developing the AMX-30 tank, the Federal Republic of Germany developing the Leopard 1 tank, and Italy first producing the M60A1 tank and then the Leopard 1 tank.

The French tank, with a dead weight of only 37 tons, highlighted the characteristics of the time, blindly emphasizing mobility and firepower and ignoring protection! This tank was the lightest of the post-war II tanks.

In order to meet the conditions of the desert, the power of this tank was reduced, from 720 horsepower to 620 horsepower, and the air intake mechanism was improved, so that it could operate normally in the desert.

"G-type armor-piercing bullets!" A Saudi commander shouted, at this time, the distance between the two sides is 1,500 meters, and at this distance, the Saudi tanks attacked first!

The main anti-tank ammunition of the AMX-30 tank is this kind of armor-piercing projectile, and the Gallic chicken believes that the shell-out armor-piercing projectile cannot penetrate the 120mm armor at a normal angle of 60 degrees at a distance of 1200m, and it is easy to ricochet when the angle of incidence is greater than 75 to 80 degrees, so he advocates canceling the armor-piercing projectile to reduce the type of ammunition, and decides to concentrate on developing a G-type armor-piercing projectile that can give full play to all the advantages of the armor-piercing projectile.

This kind of armor-piercing projectile, which can penetrate 400 mm of armor, seemed quite good at the time, but unfortunately, it is absolutely incomparable with the one-meter penetration depth shown by the Soviet Union.

The Gauls were proud and individual, but the front-line armourers were not so proud.

"Boom!" The tank gun, which did not even have a smoke device for the barrel, was filled with gunsmoke in the turret after the shot, and the commander coughed and stared closely at the opposite side.

The G-type armor-piercing shell accurately hit the turret of the T-72 tank on the opposite side! They almost played at their best! There was a shock to the hull of the tank on the opposite side, and it was obvious that there had been a collision!

The next moment, the tank was shrouded in black smoke, and the Saudi commander shouted: "Destroy!" ”

The detonator of the Texer in the front part of the armor-piercing shell was detonated under the piezoelectric fuse, and at the same time, the ****** mixed explosive in the rear was ignited, and against the shaped warhead of the metal cover, a dense metal jet was formed, which drilled into the armor of the tank.

It's a pity that the first thing it touched was explosive reactive armor!

At the moment when the armor-piercing shell exploded, the explosive reactive armored unit of contact-1 exploded, and the heat-sensitive semtin plastic explosives inside exploded, and this explosion was intertwined with the explosion of the armor-piercing bullet just now, which immediately interfered with the incoming metal jet!

The metal jet ceased to gather and went in all directions, as a result, the smoke bomb launcher on the side was detonated, and black smoke enveloped almost the entire tank.

Two seconds later, watching the tank drive out of the black smoke intact in the sights, the Saudi commander's heart suddenly sank into an ice cellar, how could it be? (To be continued.) )
