Chapter 335: The Battle of 59
Fifteen hundred meters away! Although the ammunition of the T-72 can support such a long distance, the hit rate will be greatly reduced, and the Indian armored corps still likes to fire at a distance of a thousand meters.
However, they did not expect that the other party would actually open fire at a distance of 1,500 meters, moreover, it was still in motion!
If you want to hit the opponent, you need to take into account factors such as crosswind, shell trajectory, etc., and if you want to hit the enemy in motion, you have to take into account the opponent's speed, and if you are still in motion, you need to superimpose your own speed to go in, which requires advanced fire control to achieve.
The turret of the late 59 tank is two-way stable, but due to the backwardness of fire control, it can only be static and dynamic shooting, and now, with the German advanced fire control system, it has the ability to shoot the opponent's tank in motion.
When this shell came and accurately hit the Indian tank, the front armor of the T-72, as if it were paper, was easily torn apart, the armor-piercing shell drilled inside, and the metal heat detonated the ammunition stored in the tank.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the turret of the T-72 flew into the sky.
Among all the tanks, the T-72 is the most prone to explosion, its turntable automatic loader, located inside the turret, is connected to the hull of the turntable position, which is the weakest point of the tank, once the ammunition is detonated, it will definitely be the end of the turret.
The 59 tanks on the opposite side are still advancing.
The 2nd Separate Armored Brigade of Pakistan, Brigade Commander Khan Bala, sitting inside a 59 tank, commanded the offensive of his own armored brigade.
"An armor-piercing bullet." Khan Bala shouted, and his chariot also rushed to the front line.
A 120-mm armor-piercing shell, stuffed into the chamber by a loader.
"Goals. Directly in front to the right, a T-72 tank. ”
"Understood." The gun commander's eyes, clinging to his own scope, and in his field of vision, a T-72 tank had already appeared.
He operates the scope to aim at the target while he operates. The 120 mm gun of the turret rotates coaxially with the scope, and the F100A logo appears in the upper right corner of the field of vision, F stands for the shell is ready, 100 is the distance, the unit is 10 meters, 100 * 10 meters is 1000 meters, A represents the parameters in the current fire control computer is AP, that is, the armor-piercing projectile, and the default state of the system after it is turned on is these.
When the middle of the bogzag in the scope is aimed at a target. The commander's right hand pressed the rangefinder button, and outside the turret, the laser rangefinder mounted with the scope fired a laser beam invisible to the naked eye at the position of the crosshair, which flew at the speed of light, and almost instantly, hit the opposite tank, and then bounced back, passing the laser round-trip time. It is possible to accurately judge the distance of the aiming point to the location of the aim, and then. This distance information is transmitted to the fire control computer, which quickly calculates the firing angle according to the distance obtained, and the automatic control gun vertical waiting mechanism adjusts the gun to the corresponding position.
This qiē was completed in a very short period of time.
In the past, this was done with the experience of armored troops. Experience directly determines whether the shell will accurately hit the target, and now this has been left to the fire control system.
The crosshairs of the font are attached to the target, and the gun is already above the crosshair, when the gun fires a shell. The shells will move in a parabolic motion.
If the opposite side is stationary, then now you just need to press the firing button and shoot the shell, but if the target is in high-speed motion, if you aim directly at the target, when the shell arrives, it will fall behind the target, and you also need to set the amount of advance.
The gun commander continued to control the scope to aim at the target, because the target was in motion, the turret also followed the gun commander's aim and continued to rotate slowly, the crosshair of the scope was always consistent with the target, and then, the gun commander pressed and held the advance button, the angular velocity sensor of the turret has determined the target speed according to the speed of the turret, and this information is also transmitted to the fire control computer.
The fire control computer is calculating the firing parameters, and the automatic control zì turret is turned to the corresponding position, and in the scope, a red Dynamiclead appears, ready for fire!
"Boom!" As the gun commander pressed the red firing button on his left, the entire tank trembled violently, and the warhead of the armor-piercing bullet flew out.
"Armor-piercing shells ready." Although the firing process is tedious, it is actually a second or two for a skilled gun commander, during which the commander continues to search around, identify new targets, and indicate targets to the gun commander.
The loader stuffed another 120mm armor-piercing round into the chamber.
(When writing about the 120mm gun earlier, some book friends raised questions in the book review area.) It's about full and divided. China's current tanks use 125 mm artillery, which is the same as Russia's, using separate ammunition, the so-called separate loading means that the warhead and propellant are loaded separately and stuffed into the chamber successively. And the 120-mm tank gun, when China developed it, was fully loaded, that is, the warhead and propellant were combined. These two types of artillery, it doesn't matter which one is better, in order to pursue greater power, our country chose 125 mm guns, and these 120 mm guns almost dismounted, and finally became the main gun of anti-tank self-propelled guns. And now it is said that when the tail is stabilized and the long rod is used to deshell the armor-piercing projectile, the power of the armor-piercing is determined by the length of the bullet core, and the full-loaded shell core can be very long, such as reaching more than 2/3 of the full length of the shell, in fact, part of it is stuffed into the propellant, and the split shell core will be shorter, which directly determines the depth of armor piercing, so it is considered that when other conditions are the same, the full-loading type is more powerful than the full-loading type)
The battle between tank crews is so full of tension and ruthlessness.
"Brake!" Suddenly, the captain shouted.
With his shout, the driver in front kicked the brakes fiercely, the steel belts on both sides, hugged the brake wheels, and in the screeching sound, the tank body stopped suddenly, the loader did not stand firmly, and his head hit the gun door in front of him heavily, and blood immediately broke out.
"Boom!" In the periscope, next to the hull, only half a meter away from the track in front, the warhead of the armor-piercing bullet flying at high speed pierced the ground, and the huge kinetic energy made a big hole in the ground, and the vibration was transmitted to the tank on its own side synchronously.
It's dangerous! If it hadn't been discovered in time, it would have almost been pierced by this armor-piercing bullet.
"Attention 2nd Brigade, immediately maneuver to both flanks!" Brigade Commander Khan Bala shouted over the radio.
Now, the distance between the two sides has reached five hundred meters, even if you don't need fire control, you can shoot with your own experience, the 59 tank only improved the artillery, and did not improve the propulsion system and armor, and after getting closer, it is not good for your side.
Moreover, once the scuffle breaks out, the A-7 attack aircraft in the air may also hit their own side by mistake.
Therefore, although the brigade commander wanted to rush in, melee with the Indians, and destroy more tanks, they were in a supporting role in this attack, and their sortie was to stop the Indians and give the fighters in the sky above them a chance. Therefore, they had to retreat to both flanks.
The turret was at 90 degrees, and during the retreat to the flanks, the 59 tank continued to use its own tank guns, destroying the armored forces of the Indians.
The Indians lost a large number of tanks, and as they continued their retreat, they encountered the second Pakistani armored brigade in the Berding area.
India's armoured forces were constantly losing, and when it learned that Pakistani planes were coming to strike, the Indian Air Force came out again.
Last time, ten Mirage 4000s, I thought I could save something, but the Mirage 4000 still failed, so the current Indian Air Force only has the Mirage 2000 and MiG-29 as the main force.
The Indians are almost all about to help their army units and save the fate of defeat, and at the same time, some of them will bomb Karachi.
In the military port of Karachi, the main force of the Pakistan Navy stays, especially the aircraft carrier that is being renovated, the Indian Navy has suffered heavy losses, and the Pakistan Navy deserves the same losses!
The basic structure of the Mirage 2000 and the Mirage 4000 is the same, and the Mirage 4000 can be regarded as a dual-hair version of the Mirage 2000, and the weapons they carry are also the same.
This kind of French-style fighter has excellent air combat performance, especially the ability to engage in close-range dogfights, and the inherent advantage of delta-wing fighters is the instantaneous pointing ability of the nose, which directly determines that the ability to lock on to the enemy's fighters will be greatly increased.
However, the weakness of this fighter is also prominent, due to the lack of engine thrust, so, although it has excellent instantaneous pointing ability, but the ability to hover steadily is the weakest, and the energy lost quickly cannot be replenished, so as long as the first blow is not shaken, this fighter will soon have no energy. The double-shot Phantom 4000 has a large range of dù to make up for this weakness, and the single-shot Phantom 2000 will fall into a situation of being beaten because of its lack of energy.
The Indians, of course, did not know the weakness of such a fighter, in their eyes advanced electronics, ergonomics far surpassed the Soviet one, and this aircraft was not at all inferior to the American one.
It's just that the Tomcat's long-range volleying capabilities are so good that they can't get into mid-range and close-range combat, so they can only use forced tactics. (To be continued......)
