Chapter 600： 0 里迢迢 (2/2)
Of course Stalin knew what this meant. The German armored forces engaged in a terrible blitzkrieg. What was the key? Firepower, protection, of course, there are reasons for this, but the most enviable German tank is definitely its mobility!
Your own tank can only be a successful tank if it possesses the equivalent mobility. It is a tank needed by the Soviets!
”Yes, Comrade Stalin, our trip was accompanied by members of the safety committee throughout the journey, and they can testify for us.” Koshkin continued.
Although they were maneuvering all the way off-road, of course, they had more than one car on this long journey, and they also had accompanying security vehicles. On this kind of vehicles, people from the safety committee were in charge of supervising them. Whether he cheated and deceived Comrade Stalin, he would be shot directly.
Stalin's eyes lit up suddenly.
The kv-1 tank here is polished shiningly and it can be said to be spotless. In contrast, this t-32 is almost like being fished out of a mud pit. The entire body of the car is covered. Mud, weeds.
You must know that the Soviet territory is vast, the main means of transportation is trains, and road construction is quite backward. In most places, there are no hardened dirt roads.
”Comrade Stalin, be careful that your clothes are soiled.” Kotin said hurriedly when Stalin was eager to go up and have a look.
Kotin's words only caused Stalin to roll his eyes, and Kotin hurriedly shut up.
At this time, Kejing's heart had begun to panic. A few days ago, he also reported that the t-32 was too early to be finalized, and various mechanical failures could not be eliminated. If he could not walk a few kilometers, he had to lie down. Now, UU readinghas run thousands of kilometers!
Although his father-in-law said in front of Stalin, once Stalin pursued it, his father-in-law would definitely take these mistakes to him.
”When designing, we took into account the current trend of tank design and our national conditions to the utmost, so we chose inclined armor.” Stalin was very interested, and Koshkin on the side was also quite excited. At that time Stalin had already stood in front of the tank. The comparison between the two tanks, apart from the volume, was of course the design idea, for example, the concept of inclined armor.
”Our body armor is 45mm thick, with a 32-degree bevel angle, and 49 degrees on the side. The turret is a hexagonal cast. The frontal armor thickness is 60 mm, and the side is also 45 mm. The bevel of the body extends all the way to the turret. , So the t-34 is almost a right triangle from the front.”
The design of the entire car body is what Koshkin is most proud of. Now, he finally has the opportunity to explain it to Stalin. Of course, he has to grasp this rare opportunity.
”Cough, cough.” He still couldn't help it, coughing twice, and then continued to explain.
”Sloped armor has two advantages. First, the shells are easy to bounce after hitting, that is, they are prone to ricochet, and their power is greatly reduced. Second, by tilting the armor, we can increase the effective protection thickness under the same weight. We only have 45mm thick armor, but through the 32-degree bevel design, the protection capacity is equivalent to 130mm, and the 49-degree bevel side armor is also equivalent to 100mm.”
These data, spoken fluently from Koshkin’s mouth, immediately made Stalin’s face smile: ”Kotin, you said, the protection of the KV-1 tank is also 130 mm?” Mobile phone users ask Browse and read, a better reading experience.
