According to the establishment of the German army, the armored forces will have more anti-tank guns because they have to fight to the death with the opponent's armored units, while the number of anti-tank guns attached to ordinary infantry divisions is very small, which means that once the armored troops kneel, the infantry division will have no power to fight back in the face of the attack of the opponent's synthetic armored forces. Replenishment of anti-tank guns is one solution, but this alone is clearly not enough. So the Germans started with infantry anti-armor weapons again.

The Germans examined their infantry anti-armor weapons, and there appeared to be two types of them, one an anti-tank gun and the other an anti-tank grenade. These two things are okay against armored vehicles, and if you fight a tank, you should wash and sleep. By the way, there are also grenades that use shaped charges. THIS THING SAYS THAT IT CAN PENETRATE ARMOR BY ABOUT 50MM, AND THE THEORETICAL RANGE IS ALSO 30 TO 60 METERS, BUT IN FACT THE EFFECT IS NOT GOOD. BESIDES, IN THIS DEMONIC PLANE, WHO CAN PENETRATE WITH A VERTICAL ARMOR-PIERCING THICKNESS OF 50MM!! In this era, tanks don't come out with a dip armor, and they are embarrassed to mix!

Recoilless guns and armor-piercing shells are one way to go, but the thing itself isn't light. The cost is not low, but it is still difficult to equip a large number of people. Therefore, the requirements of the Germans for the new individual anti-armor weapon were first, which could easily rely on manpower for maneuvering. Second, it must be powerful enough. IT CAN PENETRATE AT LEAST 100MM OF ARMOR WITHIN THE EFFECTIVE RANGE. Third, the cost must be low and can be produced in large quantities.

When the German Army's equipment sent out the bidding requirements to the various arsenals, the major companies said they could not accept the horrific design requirements. It seemed to them like a chatter. However, in the face of huge orders, there are still many manufacturers who are willing to give it a try. Maybe this thing makes less money, but it can't stand the large output! Predictable. In the future, there will be at least hundreds of thousands of demands!

As a result, some German manufacturers of small arms and light weapons immediately began relevant scientific research. Specifically, it can be divided into the following categories, and there are those who continue to plan to dig into the potential in the field of gun grenades. There are those who are considering increasing the power of anti-tank mines and grenades, and there are those who are ready to pick up anti-tank guns and re-fry cold rice. The more trendy ones have set their sights on the nascent rockets. Its simple structure, easy launch, and easy production are very much in line with the requirements of the German Army. And this led to the early appearance of the Iron Fist series.

Ever since the advent of tanks, there has been a fierce competition between the two sides over spears and shields. In addition to the various types of surface-firing guns, armies are also looking for other reliable means of anti-armor, after all, the number of artillery guns is limited and the mobility is difficult. As a result, a variety of homemade or standard anti-armor weapons have been produced. In World War I, Germany has strengthened its anti-armor firepower from all sides since it was beaten by British tanks. During World War I, some elite marksmen were issued armor-piercing shells called K-bullets to shoot at vulnerable locations such as the tank's observation window and fuel tank. The Heavy is also sometimes equipped with a cartridge belt stuffed with armor-piercing rounds. As for all kinds of cluster grenades, Molotov cocktails and other homemade weapons, they are emerging in an endless stream.

It is also to blame that the armor protection of the tank at that time was too much of a coffee table. Based on the experience of the Spanish Civil War, it has been asserted that tanks are no better than infantry against machine guns, and even large-caliber guns can destroy the armor on the front of tanks. Therefore, in line with the principles of low cost, sufficiency, and lightness, all countries in the early stage of World War II were equipped with a large number of anti-tank guns. FOR EXAMPLE, THE FAMOUS SOVIET RTDS41 14.5MM ANTI-TANK GUN IN HISTORY, WITH A MUZZLE VELOCITY OF 1000 METERS PER SECOND, IS SAID TO BE ABLE TO PENETRATE 30MM VERTICAL ARMOR PLATES AT A DISTANCE OF 300 METERS. HOWEVER, WITH THE ADVANCEMENT OF TECHNOLOGY, THE WEIGHT OF ANTI-TANK GUNS IS VERY LARGE (RTDS WEIGHS ABOUT 20KG). Something that has limited power and is quite human-machine effective on a coffee table is gradually replaced. Think about it too. Anti-tank guns, like anti-tank guns, are kinetic armor-piercing, and small-caliber guns are not enough, so multi-antitank guns smaller than artillery are naturally even worse.

And when the hollow charge technology was invented, the appearance of armor-piercing shells opened up a new world for infantry anti-armor weapons. So anti-tank grenades and various anti-tank grenades came into being. The launcher for this item consists of a rifle, an empty cartridge, and a launch tube. THE EARLIEST TYPE 30 ANTI-TANK GRENADES COULD PENETRATE 50MM OF ARMOR. But the effective firing range is only 40 meters. It's something that can't be helped. A Type 30 grenade weighs up to 0.52 kilograms, while the propellant is just an empty pack of Mauser rifle bullets. Just how far can that bit of gunpowder push this thing forward? If only in terms of power, it is inferior to an anti-tank gun. At least they have an advantage in range.

However, with the development of technology, the Germans later developed Type 46 and Type 61 anti-tank grenades. Germany reduced the weight of the grenade fired to 0.39 kilograms. THE ARMOR-PIERCING POWER HAS BEEN INCREASED TO 90MM AND 125MM RESPECTIVELY! The blessing of the weight of the lifting bomb. The effective firing range has finally reached 60 to 80 meters! Finally, within the effective firing range, it exceeded the penetration depth of the anti-tank gun. But if you want to increase the range even more, then it's better to wash and sleep. At that time, the limit of technology was here, so make do with it. It's thrilling to think about this distance. This distance is not even as far as the range of the opponent's submachine gun! It can be sudden, and it can be sudden, and it can be sudden, and it can be sudden. And it should be noted that this penetration depth is to hit vertical armor, considering the various bounces of inclined armor and the angle of incidence, the armor-piercing ability of the grenade will definitely be discounted in actual combat. Except for the last Type 61 anti-tank grenade, the lethality of other anti-tank grenades is very worrying.

In addition to anti-tank grenades, the Germans were also engaged in various anti-tank grenades. This kind of thing is cheaper and more widely equipped, but the accuracy and play are more unstable than anti-tank grenades! After all, you can still aim at the former, and you can only look at the feel of the grenade! The range also depends entirely on the situation and the strength of the arm. What's even more tragic is that the best case scenario for a hollow charge armor-piercing projectile is to hit the target with the center of the bullet aimed at the armor, but if you throw it, who knows what it will look like when it falls on the opponent's tank? Therefore, in theory, anti-tank grenades that penetrate hundreds of depths are actually not very effective.

Faced with this problem, the Germans, who have always been able to make very simple things very complicated, came up with a solution and invented an anti-tank grenade called BK2H. This grenade has a shaped warhead on the front and a handle on the back. Four foldable wings were made around the handle. After being thrown, the wings will unfold and crash into the target in a relatively smooth flight attitude. If in the hands of a veteran, it is said that the warhead can be directly facing the armor. MOREOVER, THIS CARGO HAS A HIGH ARMOR-PIERCING ABILITY, AND IS SAID TO BE ABLE TO PENETRATE 150MM OF VERTICAL ARMOR. As for the effect, it is not clear, anyway, if the Americans did not have special training after seizing it, they were used as large darts.

The other grenade is a bit like an inverted loophole, with three magnets at the mouth of the funnel. When thrown, this grenade will stick directly to the armor plate if it hits the tank. The grenade, known as the Panzerhandmine3 type, weighs 1 kg and has a vertical armor-piercing thickness of 130 mm. ITS IMPROVED VERSION CAN REACH A PENETRATION DEPTH OF 160MM TO 180MM. But looking at the weight, and then looking at the shape, you should be able to feel that the effective throw distance of such a solid funnel grenade will not be very far. So that's what it actually does. It may be more useful in street fighting. The words of the field can only be said to be stronger than nothing.

In the end, it was the bazooka that greatly changed the balance of power between infantry and tanks. Whether it is the RPG7 known as the friend of the guerrillas or the RPG cult on the Internet, it fully illustrates the important position of the bazooka in the history of infantry anti-tank, a squad can do without anti-tank missiles, but can you not bring a bazooka? This thing is known as a soft and hard all-encompassing, and it is the best weapon for going out to rob houses.

The Germans have two most famous anti-tank rocket launchers, one is the Iron Fist disposable bazooka, and the other is the RPZB Type 88 bazooka, which is known as the tank killer. THE PENETRATION DEPTH OF THESE TWO WEAPONS IS AROUND 200MM, AND WITHIN THE EFFECTIVE RANGE, IT IS DIFFICULT TO ESCAPE THE CATASTROPHE OF A TANK ENCOUNTERED, AND MEDIUM TANKS LIKE T34 AND SHERMAN ARE ALMOST HANGING. And IS2's case probably depends on character. In addition to their immense power, the extremely simple structure of this weapon also makes them popular.

Take the earliest Tekken 30 rocket launcher as an example, this tank killer weighing 5.6KG. The structure is a rocket with a folding tail, a launch tube and a simple sighting device on it, plus 95 grams of propellant! The Iron Fist 30 rocket has an initial velocity of 27 meters per second. The effective firing range is 30 meters. Well, well, that's just too close. In addition to the power. The shooter is more dangerous than using a grenade, after all, the effective range of the latter is twice as long!

Realizing that the range was not enough, the Germans quickly improved this. They increased the weight of the propellant, for example, the weight of the Iron Fist 60 rocket launcher was increased to 140 grams. THE COMBAT WEIGHT INCREASED TO 6.5KG. And then according to this line of thought, there was Iron Fist 100. There's not much to say about this development process. It's just a matter of constant feeding. Although there is more propellant and the range is longer, the speed of the rocket is still low, and if you think about it, the muzzle velocity of less than 30 meters per second has to fly for 3 to 4 seconds to hit the target, which is naturally very low. According to German calculations, an accuracy of 75 to 80 percent can be achieved within 60 meters. From 60 to 80 meters, it drops to 25%. In fact, if various factors are taken into account, the potential for simply increasing the propellant is limited. And it was at this time that the Germans' Tekken 150 changed the situation.

The Tekken 250's warhead is as powerful as its predecessors, but in terms of propellant, it uses a two-stage charge, and its propellant is two propellants weighing 95 grams. Combined with the conical warhead, the muzzle velocity of this rocket is as high as 85 meters per second! It is said that the Soviets' RPG2 was modeled after the Tekken 250.

However, the anti-armor pressure of the Germans in the later period was too great. AN IRON FIST ALONE WAS NOT ENOUGH, SO THE 88MM REUSABLE TANK KILLER CAME OUT. This anti-tank weapon, said to be based on the Bazooka, is as powerful as an iron fist. But the practicality is much stronger, at least thanks to the larger propellant and better aerodynamic layout, the muzzle velocity of this bazooka reaches 110 meters per second! The effective firing range is between 150 and 220 meters. Of course, the performance has gone up, and so has the weight. THE BAZOOKA WEIGHS UP TO 10KG. The weight of one rocket is 3.25kG. Moreover, after the rocket is launched, the rocket engine will still operate, so its wake will still cause considerable damage to the shooter. In order to avoid burns, it is necessary to put a baffle next to the bazooka and even wear protective gear.

And this time, the Germans ended up making a fuss about the bazooka. The rockets are very similar to the historical Tekken series. And the actual performance of the first bazooka is already close to the historical Iron Fist 60. This gave the German infantry the first relatively effective anti-armor weapon that did not occupy the ranks. At the same time, on the other side of the world, China and the United States are also engaged in their own bazookas. As a traverser, Xu Jie naturally knows the power of the RPG Divine Cult in later generations. And the Americans also realized the weakness of their armor and held the same idea as the Germans, tanks can't be beaten, so rely on something else to make up for it!

Huaxia has a traverser to open the hanging, naturally aiming at the structural characteristics of the historical RPG-7, the ultra-long super-caliber rocket and the tandem warhead, although it may not reach the level of the historical RPG-7, but the advanced nature can still be guaranteed. As for the Americans, they began to develop individual anti-tank weapons on the basis of the historical Bazooka.

The improvement and upgrading of equipment is a long-term problem, and the Germans are not in a hurry, and how to solve the current dilemma of the Middle East war situation is the most important thing at present. In general, the development of the war situation in the Middle East exceeded the plans of the German General Staff. Lost almost a tank of the armored division in a daze. This completely reversed the balance of armor forces between the two sides. Although Guderian's main force still exists, he is unable to break through the defense line of the American army, as long as the opponent retains a certain number of Type 29 tank destroyers and can have the air force to provide cover, then the next attack will not be much stronger than this one. Without the capture of West Islamabad Abad, there is no way to threaten the flank of the Chinese army. The German stick on the left will not do much in a short period of time.

As for the Western Front. The German 6th Panzer Division was crushed by the opposing side. The Germans can't bear it, so the situation of Austria-Hungary and Turkey is probably even worse, even if there are defensive lines and fortifications to provide protection, the German top brass is still not optimistic about the defense of the Kirkuk area, not to mention that in the battle that has just ended, Turkey and Austria-Hungary also consumed a large amount of fuel and spare parts that were originally in reserve. The defensive situation is even less rosy.
