Chapter 1787: Fast Anti-Tank

In the underground hangar of Sakura Airport, in the basement of the third floor of the lowest floor, it is almost a closed world, only bright lights, which shine here, and the ceiling reflects the lights, which looks shining, in this calm place, 300 hideous monsters, are crawling there, but even if it is quiet, it is full of violent power.

This kind of tank, not as strong as the main battle tank of the first armored division, but it is also a very good tank, at least the balance is very high, and even because of the relationship that can be airlifted, China is ready to increase the delivery of this tank, compared with the air transport can be transferred to tens of thousands of kilometers a day, the speed of the tank 1000 kilometers is really slow, not enough to support China's large-scale delivery capacity.

Although at present, due to the constraints of the airport factor, large-scale air transfer must be carried out, and a large airport must be built, but simply moving within China is enough for this tank to replace the heavier heavy tank and become the main force of the Chinese army. Even outside the areas controlled by China, it is acceptable to concentrate troops in the border areas and then move in and sacrifice part of the performance, which is acceptable in China's view.

At present, China has begun the process of redressing, but the speed is not fast, the requirements of the fast reaction force in all aspects are very high, plus China has been equipped with nearly 60 armored divisions of main battle tanks, almost 20,000, this is a huge number, in this era, is still very advanced main battle tanks, and can not be discarded casually, such a national heavy weapon, under the premise of not enough generational difference, may not even be sold to the outside, in this case, this is equal to a net loss, even if China is financial, You can't do that either.

In order to ensure the effect of air transportation, this full weight is about 35 tons, which is almost 10 tons lighter than the main battle tank, which is no way, strategic bombers and strategic transport aircraft, to the current level, has reached the limit, about 35 tons of tanks, also need to reduce the amount of refueling, in order to be able to air transport such a weight of tanks, otherwise, the maximum load capacity is 30 tons under the premise, there is still a difference of 5 tons.

5 tons is not a small number, from the main battle tank of more than 45 tons, a reduction of 10 tons, is already the limit, and then reduce it, it will directly affect the performance, in terms of design, this kind of fast anti-tank weight reduction in many places, for example, the artillery has been reduced, the amount of ammunition has been reduced, and even the armor in the unimportant position has been reduced, but such a reduction has not reduced the performance of many tanks, the frontal armor of this tank is equivalent to a 180 mm army armored tank, which is definitely on land, An unrivaled weapon of mass destruction.

At present, any American artillery, 1 km away, can not pose a threat to him, can kill him, that is more than 300 mm heavy artillery, such a caliber artillery, only the main guns of heavy cruises and battleships can have, such artillery, even if the United States has more, will not exceed 500 guns, besides, the current location of the tank, the nearest seaside is also 200 kilometers, this distance, is not at all within the reach of the navy's main guns, 10,000 steps back, After all, the tank is not a battery, he can move, which is the root of the tank's strength, but at a speed of 65 kilometers per hour on flat ground or on the road, the field can guarantee a speed of more than 48 kilometers per hour, which is enough to make most artillery guns unable to hit it.

Of course, if at close range, using the latest individual anti-tank weapons, the armor-piercing ability is about 220 mm, not for his frontal armor, but for his weak link, it is possible to deal with such a tank, precisely because of the weight of a few tons less, the armor can only strengthen the frontal armor, the side and back is a weak point, this is the main battle tank carefully developed by China, after reducing part of the protection, it can only be compensated by other means, but through periscopes and some other means, Observation without blind spots, coupled with some unique equipment, makes it almost no weak point and the main weapon of the future land warfare.

It can be said unceremoniously that against China's strongest main battle tank, under the premise of frontal combat, he will not be defeated, but in continuous combat, and there is a slight lack of endurance, but compared to air transportation, these weaknesses are nothing. In the future, China will almost inevitably move towards high-mobility, high-deployment capabilities of rapid reaction forces, China's huge territory, so that these forces are the correct direction of development in the future

Strategic bombers, reaching 30 tons, or even 35 tons of load capacity, has reached a limit, unless Yang Yuanzhao all use the more cutting-edge materials designed by the all-in-one machine, and even push China into the ranks of jets, in order to make this load have a huge increase, jet strength and load capacity, on the basis of the propeller aircraft, and have risen a step, after all, the propeller aircraft, for the strength of the fuselage is not high, can be used very light materials and weight reduction.

China has also considered for the strategic transport aircraft, increase horsepower, in order to increase the load capacity, but no, the fuselage can not bear the bearing capacity, if the fuselage is strengthened, the input of materials will be greater, the weight of the aircraft is also large, so that the power consumption is greater, in the effort to increase the power of 40%, but for the increase in load capacity, no more than 10% of the premise, this direction is actually cut off, in the research of aircraft researchers, turboprop aircraft in the absence of a major technological breakthrough under the premise, The ultimate load capacity is about 35 tons, and if there are more, there will be a lot of problems, and if you really want to break through the limit of load capacity, you have to look at the jet aircraft, which is the best way to increase performance.

Jet aircraft, as a direction of future development, is the next generation of main combat aircraft, which has been recognized by many flight experts, but it is not necessary to increase research and fully reequip. In the current Yinshan base, the aircraft research institute, has been carried out, the design of large-scale wind and high platform designed in advance, but also let the design work in an orderly manner, but this kind of 20 years later, relative to the piston or turboprop aircraft, a newer form of aircraft, the road to go is still far away, although the prototype as early as 1915, has appeared, but the process of further change, to encounter a lot of difficulties, because beyond this era, even the theoretical aspect is not complete, At most, it only has qualified materials and engines, and the rest, under the premise of all speculation, the failure rate and crash rate are extremely high.

In fact, as early as the 40s of the 20th century, jet prototypes appeared, but more than a dozen years later, in the war on the peninsula, as well as in the Vietnam War, jet aircraft did not show overwhelming superiority, and in some airspace and in some battles, even piston can overwhelm jets.

In fact, before the advent of missiles, jet on the piston type, there is no good way, jet performance is high-altitude and high-speed, but this performance, in the flight is good, in the fighting, there is no way to play, this is according to the main weapon of the aircraft, before the appearance of missiles, the main weapon of the aircraft is the cannon, the cannon is a straight line attack, does not have a tracking line, in the aircraft amplifier, the combat needs to maneuver.

The maneuverability of the jet aircraft is strong, mainly the maneuverability of high-altitude and high-speed, in this aspect of the maneuverability, almost got rid of the piston and propeller several times more, but in the low-altitude and low-speed maneuvering ability, there is no distance from the propeller aircraft, as long as the propeller aircraft does not runway high-altitude and jet aircraft, in this case, the jet can only descend to the height, tied to their strongest part, with their own shortcomings, compared with the advantages of the piston type, because of the generation difference, so that the jet fighter has an advantage, However, the advantage is not overwhelming, and mutual wins and losses are the most common.

This is unacceptable to jets, a jet aircraft, because of the leading technology, all aspects of the material is more precious, the price is very expensive, a minimum is also a piston type several times more, compared to the cheapest mosquito aircraft, is more than 10 times, but in the performance can not show advantages, to a certain extent, in the world aviation field, there is even a wave of disagreement. The spring of rats and jet fighters still appeared, and it should be missiles, especially air-to-air missiles, that only showed up.

Piston fighters, because they don't need to cross the sound barrier, as well as high-altitude and high-speed environments, their strength is generally not high, metal fighters, most of them are metal skin, this kind of aircraft their strength is not comparable with piston fighters, so they can't, or it is difficult to hang missiles, and jet fighters are different, his strength is very high, once the missiles are hung, you can solve the opponent at a long distance, or even beyond the visual range, instead of fighting with the opponent at a short distance, using cannons to attack the opponentIn this way, there was an overwhelming advantage, piston fighters were completely eliminated, and even the generation gap between fighters was getting bigger and bigger, one-to-many, and even a dozen fighters overwhelmed by one fighter, dozens of fighters, and everywhere.

Historically, it took decades to complete the development process of jet aircraft, how could China go so quickly, before all the energy was in the turboprop, although turbines and turbofans have something in common, but China can not completely abandon the propeller, turn to jet, jet to a certain extent, can only be regarded as pre-research, a lot of scientific and technological personnel have been invested, but there are only one or two at the peak, they can move forward with difficulty, this is the current status quo of China's jet aircraft development.
