Chapter 185: T-72 Departs!

The SEG anti-tank missile is the first generation of light anti-tank missiles in the Soviet Union, which uses visual aiming, manual control, and wired command guidance. This anti-tank missile, which was used for the first time in the Fourth Middle East War, posed a serious threat to Israeli armored forces, and became famous for it.

In order to improve the anti-tank capabilities of infantry fighting vehicles, Soviet military-industrial specialists, loaded such missiles on infantry fighting vehicles.

Compared with the M113, which is only equipped with a light machine gun, a 73mm smoothbore gun is pervertedly powerful, but, with the addition of anti-tank missiles, it is absolutely against the sky, this infantry fighting vehicle, not only can withstand the role of transporting infantry, but also at some point, it can engage the opponent's armored cluster head-on.

The maximum range of this anti-tank missile is a full five kilometers, which is far more than the range of the rifled guns of the chieftains, and they can calmly launch, attack, and then, run away from the range of the opposing side!

The Iranian soldier in the M113 armored car, apparently, did not realize that the great danger had come, the driver was still calculating, he had half a minute, and he could run over the tracks of the armored car over him, the pilot, who was the pride of the sky, and now, he became the soul of his crotch.

Hamad heard the rumbling behind him getting closer and closer, and he couldn't run anymore, feeling like his legs were filled with lead, but a strong conviction made him not want to be restrained.

Suddenly, he saw the flying missile, and when he looked at it again, in the distance was his own infantry fighting vehicle, a Soviet-made infantry fighting vehicle, and then the most powerful armored group of the commander of the Ali regiment was ahead.

Then, the missile flew in front of the invincible armored car, and suddenly, the flames flew, and the entire armored car was lifted up, and the fire began to burn.

Another armored car, finding something bad, was ready to flee.

There was no longer a chance, and another missile that came and hit the armored car accurately.

Although it was a manual control, although it was on a bumpy infantry chariot, the skilled soldiers still hit the target accurately.

Hamad felt no longer strong and sat down on the ground.

The infantry fighting vehicle stopped very close to him, the door opened, and two soldiers ran out of it, dragging Hamad's arms and running back.

"Hey, brothers, thank you." Hamad said.

"You gave us a plane from the sky to hit the Iranians, and we should thank you." By this time, they had already come to the armored car,said a soldier.

Hamad's heart was moved, isn't his brother's blood spilled in the sky to protect his brothers on the ground?

Who knows, the next sentence will make him vomit blood.

"Although your skills are not good, don't be discouraged, if you go back and train more, you will definitely be able to beat the Iranians."

Isn't the technology right? Did you know the gap in the plane? All Iraq's fighters, close quarters combat is no match for Tomcats. How did you just take out your opponent with an anti-tank missile? That's the strength of technology!

Before Hamad could say anything, he heard a sharp whistling sound from the sky.

His face suddenly tensed.

Who knows, a few soldiers around, but without any expressions of fear, they sat in the bumpy chariot, humming a small tune.

Then, in the distance, I heard the loud explosion that continued on.

At this time, there is still a distance of more than ten kilometers for the large forces of the two sides to contact, what is this sound?

"Did our army fire artillery just now?" Hamad asked.

"Yes, before the armored troops charge, you must give the other party a little bit of strength and clear the field." A soldier said.

Clearing the field? Hamad was embarrassed to ask again, so as not to be ugly.

Ali's Reading Armored Regiment is fully equipped with all kinds of auxiliary weapons, in addition to T-72 tanks, BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles, and the support firepower that the armored group needs to provide when charging: twelve Soviet-made 2S1 122mm self-propelled guns.

The Type 2S1 self-propelled gun is a combination of a D-30 122-mm howitzer and an MT-LB tracked armored vehicle chassis. The MT-LB tracked armored vehicle has 7 pairs of load-bearing wheels, which is longer than the average combat vehicle, and is a modified version of the PT-76 water tank chassis, the body is a boat-shaped steel plate welded fully enclosed structure, and the middle part is divided into two parts, the front part is the power room and the cab, and the rear part is the fighting room.

The upper part of the fighting compartment is a flat turret with a rounded front of the turret, on which is a D-30 122mm howitzer with a barrel length of 32.7 times the caliber. There is a double-chamber muzzle brake in the middle, and a breech extraction device in the rear, equipped with a semi-automatic wedge bolt and a mechanical ammunition carrier.

This self-propelled gun has a combat weight of 16 tons, and it has amphibious capabilities, with a maximum speed of 60 km / h on the road and 30 km / h off-road, and a maximum range of 500 km.

The firepower is also extremely ferocious, with 40 rounds of artillery shells, including 32 anti-personnel blast grenades, 6 smoke shells and 2 tail stabilized armor-piercing shells. The maximum range of the grenade is 15.4 km, and the range of the rocket is 21.9 km. The muzzle velocity of the shell is 690 m / s, and the maximum rate of fire is 8 rounds / min.

Now, at the rear of the line, self-propelled guns, under bunkers, have been driven out, lined up, and are raising their barrels and firing frantically.

Every time a shell is fired, you can see a huge yellow flame forming at the front of the muzzle, burning half of the sky, a spectacular sight that will be remembered for the first time.

However, the people who are now working on this kind of artillery have long been accustomed to it, and they are skillfully firing the artillery.

With the support of artillery, Ali's armored forces finally began to set off.

At the forefront, Ali's housekeeping weapon: the T-72 tank, the most advanced tank in the Iraqi army with a 125mm smoothbore gun, the V-shaped wave plate on the front armor plate of the hull, like a pouring mouth, showed its hideous face for the first time.

The use of tail stabilized shelling armor-piercing projectiles has a range of two thousand meters! Even taking into account the accuracy of the fire control system, it is possible to achieve a relatively ideal hit rate at a distance of 1500 meters, moreover, with an automatic loader, it is possible to have a rate of fire of more than 5 rounds per minute.

Under Ali's training, his tank crews are all quite familiar with the use of tanks, and the fire control system composed of simulated ballistic computers, commanders' day and night sights, gun commanders' active infrared sights, and artillery two-way stabilizers has given the T-72 tank the ability to shoot on the move.

The T-72's low profile gives it better bomb avoidance.

Behind the T-72 was the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle.
