Chapter 1304 (1/2)

Crescent Island, northwest of Koro.

Since the establishment of ANGA's high-tech industrial park, the production line of phantom helmets has been transferred from the nearby offshore platform to ANGA island.

Now the offshore platform has been transformed into a deep-water port, which is used to dock the guard class frigates transformed by futureman's military industry, as well as some experimental equipment such as submarines designed by futureman heavy industry.

Standing on the offshore platform outside crescent Island, yiwanjiang shows the latest equipment of the starring Marine Corps.

”This is the latest design of the” crocodile ”20 amphibious attack vehicle. It can dive 10 meters under the water, attack the coastline of the target quickly, and cover the landing of infantry... ”

The short and compact section looks more like a tank than an armored vehicle, but the weapon layout is basically the same as that of an armored vehicle. The cylindrical external air tanks suspended on both sides of the armor can control the diving height by flushing with water. The tail end is equipped with screw propulsion device, which can provide power for amphibious attack vehicle when diving.

The top of armored vehicle is equipped with electromagnetic rapid fire gun. The mass projectile accelerated to the limit can easily tear the light armor of ordinary infantry vehicle. The self loading rockets suspended on both sides of the turret can launch armor piercing and high explosive rockets.

With both deep penetration and firepower, this amphibious attack vehicle named ”crocodile” can be easily competent for both street and amphibious operations.

For the star ring Marine Corps tailor-made weapons, Jiang Chen gently point, sent two words of evaluation.

”Not bad.”

With light armored vehicles and mechanized infantry as the main force, and the advanced and deep penetrating main battle tanks such as tiger hunting II as the auxiliary, it emphasizes fast attack and soft target killing, which is the tactical idea of the star ring Marine Corps. The future research and development direction of military industry in the army is basically in line with this idea.

The specific performance is that in all the research and development projects, almost no shadow of MBT can be found.

There are naturally reasons for this phenomenon.

Since the advent of electromagnetic gun, the attack and defense asymmetry of armored units has been differentiated to the extreme. It is no exaggeration to say that the mass projectiles accelerated to ten times the sound speed by the type 50 electromagnetic gun can not only easily penetrate the front armor of M1A2 main battle tanks, but also escape from behind their farts.

In fact, even if there is no electromagnetic gun, the offensive and defensive asymmetry of modern main battle tank has gradually emerged.

Put aside the black technology of star ring trade, for example.

According to the latest media report, the depth of the 125 mm armor piercing bullet of the 9.9 tank standard ammunition of Datian DPRK is 1000 mm (there is also a saying of 1800mm, but this is too mysterious for reference). Its hypothetical enemy M1A2 tank, the strongest protection is probably in front of the turret, the horizontal ballistic resistance is equivalent to 850 mm homogeneous steel, the inclination coefficient is 1.3. The equivalent thickness of depleted uranium armor may be higher, but it will not exceed 1000 mm of homogeneous steel.

What is the concept?

Even if it is to take the thickest place to fight, M1A2 is not necessarily able to resist 99 style one shot.

Of course, the reverse is the same.

No matter it's less than 2000 meters, it's basically within one shot.

This is also the reason why Europe has been reluctant to equip 140 mm tank guns. In addition to the issue of military expenditure, the most fundamental reason is that there is no need for it.

Even facing the front armor of the latest main battle tank, it can be easily broken down within 2000 meters with 120 mm tank gun and hard core armor piercing projectile. In order to effectively defend 120 mm (including Russia's 125 mm) tank guns, mobility must be greatly sacrificed.

However, for modern warfare with diversified anti tank means, losing mobility is often more fatal than losing armor.

The future military industry's current development ideas refer to the instructions given by Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen refers to the world history at the end of the world. From the middle of the 21st century to the early 22nd century, MBTS were indeed cold treated for a long time.
