The 1st Cavalry Division is simply a firefighting professional, when there was a war in the island country, it was transferred from the mainland of the United States to the island country, and then, the island country lost the war and was temporarily transferred to South Korea, and soon, it was transferred to Pakistan, in Pakistan, participated in the long-distance attack on Tehran, and after that, the war ended, returned to Pakistan, and did not return to the original station like other troops, but continued to stay in Pakistan, and now, Saudi Arabia has problems, is the first batch of troops transferred from Pakistan to Saudi Arabia.

Although the 1st Cavalry Division has been defeated repeatedly, they are still the most elite army!

Although the name is called the Cavalry Division, they are still a heavy equipment unit of Yishui, and the main battle weapon of the 1st Cavalry Division is the M1 tank!

In the battle in Hokkaido, the M1 tank hurriedly went to the battlefield, thinking that it could turn the tide in one fell swoop, but I didn't expect that the M1 tank still couldn't withstand the shooting of the T72's armor-piercing shells! As a result, the United States learned from the pain and made improvements to its own M1 tanks.

The 105 mm tank gun has become outdated, so the new M1A1 tank uses the 120 mm smoothbore gun of the German Rheinmetall company, which is the largest tank gun in the West, and can be said to be a new generation of standard weapons.

At the same time, to increase the protection of the M1 tank, it is also impatient, at this time the depleted uranium armor has not been developed, there are many problems to overcome, therefore, the M1 tank still uses the original composite armor, but it is thicker, which increases the weight of the tank.

The weight of the M1 tank was 54.5 tons, and now the weight of the M1A1 tank has increased dramatically to 65 tons! The extra 10 tons of weight were almost all added to the armor protection! The United States is very confident that if it encounters the T-72 again this time, it will definitely not be penetrated! Moreover, it was the monkey version of the T-72 exported by the USSR!

It's just that because of the increase in the weight of the M1 tank, it has led to a further increase in ground pressure, which doesn't matter in other areas, but now in the desert, the disadvantage is shown, and the tracks of this tank are almost stuck in the sand! Its maneuverability has also dropped a lot because of this!

However, this did not affect the engagement in the desert, and the commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 5th Cavalry Regiment under the 1st Cavalry Brigade **** immediately gave the battle order after spotting the Iraqi troops in front of him in the commander's circumferential monitor.

Get into the fight!

The 120-mm armor-piercing projectile was stuffed into the chamber by the large loader, and the gun commander aimed at the target, and due to the advanced sighting system, this tank gun still had a pretty good starting hit rate at a distance of two thousand meters!

Now, the distance between the two sides is five thousand meters, and they are quickly hedging, and soon they will be able to get close to the distance of two thousand meters! And the tanks of the Soviets, basically, did not observe firing from a distance of a thousand meters! That's your advantage!

At the beginning, the 105mm tank gun could not penetrate the other side, but now that the 120mm tank gun has been replaced, it can finally raise its eyebrows!

On the desert, it is the most suitable position for tank engagement, both sides have put on a wide offensive surface, and the collision of steel and steel is about to begin!

And just when the **** battalion commander gave the order to continue approaching, he found that a cloud of black smoke protruded from the barrel of the Iraqi tank gun opposite.

What's going on? Are the Iraqis opening fire? How is this possible! Now, the distance between the two sides is 4,000 meters!

Although Iraq's T-72 tank uses a 125-mm tank gun, which is larger than the caliber of the American tank gun, the accurate hitting distance of the 125-mm tank gun is indeed less than two thousand meters due to various reasons.

The United States was the first to study artillery-launched missiles, and they made great efforts to develop the Oak Stick Artillery Missile, and at the same time, in order to make this missile usable, they also developed the M551 Sheridan light tank, which can both fight Pao and launch artillery-launched missiles.

The United States hit the southern wall and turned back early, but at the same time, it was constantly fooling the Soviets and showing off the advanced nature of the artillery-launched missiles, and the Soviets were indeed fooled, and through continuous improvement and development, the final artillery-launched missiles blossomed everywhere in the Soviet Union's equipment sequence.

The earliest 9M112 artillery-launched missile, using radio command guidance, has seriously backward performance, so the Soviet Union has improved and successfully developed the latest 9M119 reed flute, NATO code name AT-11 sniper. Compared with the original missile, its biggest feature is the use of semi-active laser guidance and tandem warheads!

In order for the Iraqi army to sweep across the Middle East, the Soviet Union also spent a lot of money, and even provided Iraq with such artillery missiles, but Iraq could not produce them by itself, and it was something that would be missing one shot with one round.

Now, this artillery-launched missile, to the fullest! After discovering that it was the Americans' M1 tank, Ali immediately ordered the artillery missile attack first!

And just like that, at a distance of four thousand meters, Iraqi tanks roared, and within the muzzle of the 125-mm tank gun, 9M119 artillery missiles flew out!

The missile's rocket engine spews flames, pushing the missile to continue accelerating, reaching a speed of 800 meters per second, driving the laser beam, constantly modifying its own trajectory.

Artillery missiles! Finally realizing what it was, he gave a loud order: "Stop!" ”

That missile is coming! At such a time, you suddenly stop your own team, and you may be able to make the opponent miss the target!

Hearing his order, the tanker stepped on the brakes, and the tank, which was still galloping just now, stopped in an instant, leaned forward, and the barrel of the tank almost poked into the sand dunes in front!

And at this moment, all the tankers heard a terrible sound, but they still didn't dodge, the missile had already collided with their own tanks!

The first stage of the hollow armor-piercing powder cover in front of it was ignited first, and the red-hot metal heat flow began to drill the armor of the M1 turret, and then, in the second stage of the hollow armor-piercing powder cover located behind the rocket engine, the main charge turned into a metal heat flow, and continued to bombard!

Compared to the original 9m112's 600 mm static vertical penetration, the current 9m119 has a maximum penetration depth of 800 mm!

So, under this stream of metal heat, the main armor of the M1 tank was directly penetrated! The hot metal heat flow penetrated the inside of the tank, and the ammunition inside was detonated in an instant! (To be continued.) )
