Chapter 665: Merkava's Armor

Suddenly, Nako's brow furrowed, and on the other side, there was a rising dust, and an armored army was driving towards him!

"Attention, there is a situation on the other side, prepare for battle!" Over the radio, Naco shouted. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

What's coming? If it is the kind of old-fashioned T-54 tank of the PLO, there is no pressure on your side, but if it is a tank of the Xulia, it is difficult to say, especially, I heard that Xulia has recently imported another batch of tanks from the Soviet Union, the T-72 of Yishui, on the battlefield of the island country, the most advanced M1 tank of the United States, can not withstand the attack of the T-72's 125mm tank gun, let alone these Merkava tanks of their own!

Naco knew his own tank.

However, Xulia is fighting with the Turks, so it shouldn't be possible to send T-72 tanks here, right? The main tank force of the Xu Lia people in the Bekaa Valley is still only the T-62 tank, this kind of tank is its old enemy, its own 105 mm tank gun, firing self-developed M111 tungsten alloy armor-piercing shells, can be easily destroyed!

The M111 armor-piercing bullet was the best armor-piercing bullet of the eighties, with a length-to-diameter ratio of up to 14 to 1, and even Germany praised this armor-piercing projectile and imported a large number of them.

The two sides were rapidly approaching, and finally, the silhouette of the other party could be clearly seen from the sights, and Naco was in his heart, he was really afraid of anything!

The brick-like appearance, the long and high barrel, and the unique shape are not the T-72 tanks that are currently the most combat-ready in the Soviet Union? Damn, how many T-72 tanks did the Xulia have?

What to do? Now, the two sides are in the hedging stage, if you don't love the war, you can turn around now, leave quickly, and then call the air force to come and kill them!

But...... This is not suitable, because the maneuverability of the T-72 tank is quite good, even if you want to run, you can't run away, and the Air Force is bombing Beirut with all its might, I'm afraid that you won't be able to take care of your own side, and when the Air Force comes, maybe you will have to collect your own body, rather than being hit in the process of retreating, it is better to fight with dignity!

Your own armor may not be able to withstand the blow, but your tank guns are also capable of penetrating the opponent's armor! After all, at the level that the Soviets have always had, the tanks exported are all monkey versions, and in the battles in the island country, the performance of the Soviets' own version is very strong, but the export version will shrink a lot!

Don't be afraid, meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!

"M111 armor-piercing projectile, ready to fire!" Naco shouted over the radio.

M111 armor-piercing projectile! The gunner skillfully stuffed a shell with a metallic sheen from the gun mount, and the gun commander began to aim quickly, the Matador MK1 fire control system was developed by the Israeli company itself and has advanced performance. But now, the distance between the two sides is two kilometers, and the opponent needs to be placed closer before he can fire.

And at this moment, the artillery commander was surprised to find that the Syrian tank on the opposite side spit out clouds of black smoke from the muzzle, and the other side had already fired shells!

How can it be? A 125-mm tank gun can't hit so far! Damn, the other side is using artillery missiles!

The Israeli tankers are familiar with the performance of the Soviet-made weapons used by the other side, and at this moment, they accurately judged the opponent's weapons.

"Quick, put off the smoke screen!" Naco was also taken aback, and then gave the order. In the face of artillery missiles, whether you accelerate or slow down, it is useless, because it is a missile that can be turned! The only way for you to do this is to release a smoke screen and envelop you!

On the turret, the smoke screen launcher constantly spit out a smoke screen in a vain attempt to camouflage the Merkava tank, but alas, it was too late!

9M119 artillery missiles, the maximum range is 4,000 meters, and now, in order to kill the sworn enemy Israel, the Syrian tank crews are only 2,000 meters away, and they have fired artillery missiles! After the missile flew out of the muzzle, the engine ignited, pushing the missile to continue to fly forward, and before the smoke screen had yet to cover the entire Israeli tank force, the artillery missile had already flown in front of it!

"Boom!" The 9M119 artillery missile flew to the main armor of the Merkava tank, and at the moment of collision with the armor, the first stage of the hollow armor-piercing armor-type cover was detonated, and with the rocket engine behind, it blasted open the gap armor that the Merkava tank was proud of, and drilled into it!

In the mouths of the Israelis, Merkava's protection is the first in the world, but the development of tanks also requires a lot of experience, especially the armor of tanks, which cannot be achieved overnight!

The British Chobham armor can be said to be the best armor of this era, the British simply cannot provide it to the Israelis, and only the United States can get the Chobham armor technology, and even Germany has fallen for the British. The Leopard 2 tank is called the Cat 2 tank because of the lack of protection.

And no matter how much the Israelis boast, the Israelis started from scratch, began to design in 67, made the first Merkava tank prototype in 74, and the first production Merkava MK1 tank was delivered to the Israeli Army in 1979, this progress is quite fast, in such a short time, it is impossible for the Israelis to master the process of advanced composite armor!

The United States and Israel are good, but it is impossible to export either Chobham armor or depleted uranium armor to Israel, so the outside of the engine in front of the Merkava tank is just ordinary homogeneous armor!

What is the result of this? The tandem warhead of the 9M119, the first stage of the hollow armor-piercing armor-type cover in front, is actually only used to hit reactive armor, but now, this warhead blasted through the main armor in front of the Merkava tank and got into the engine!

This is not a broken Merkava, after all, for Merkava tanks, the engine is also used as armor!

The big hole that exploded smashed half of the engine, and at the same time, the second-stage hollow armor-piercing drug cover, which was the main charge, also shot out a high-temperature and high-pressure metal heat flow! This hot current continues to move forward!

"Boom!" The metallic heat flow successfully penetrated the engine compartment, but it had been splashed everywhere, and the power was greatly reduced, and it just so happened that a metallic heat stream hit a 105mm tank shell! In an instant, a violent detonation occurred! (To be continued.) )
