Malashin fantasized about what it would look like when he first saw this kind of super tank that he had always dreamed of.
Surprise? Or will it be a big surprise? Or both?
Maybe, anyway, even Malashenko himself was not sure about it before this, until the fateful moment finally arrived.
"I have imagined countless times how shocked this big guy would be to me. I thought I was ready for this moment, but in fact I was not."
Looking at the super tank in front of him, which is far larger than the IS6 and even difficult to compare with the IS4, he feels that his eyeballs are filled with this huge and cold steel body. Malashenko continues to slow down.
Open your mouth.
"You have created something that is enough to scare any villain who is your enemy, Shashmulin, congratulations."
Being able to receive such recognition and praise from Malashenko is certainly the most gratifying and proud thing for Shashmulin, who has devoted countless efforts to Project 260.
After all, in the entire Soviet Union, if Malashenko said that he was the second in commanding heavy tanks, then no one would dare to admit that he was the first. The generals and marshals at the top may be superior in strategic command attainments, but if
If the scope is narrowed to the combat command of heavy tanks, then Malashenko is indeed the number one expert, no doubt.
Therefore, to be highly recognized and praised by Malashenko, for a new heavy tank that is still in the prototype stage and has not been put into large-scale mass production, it can almost be said that it is on the way to mass production after the project is reviewed.
final tickets.
Shashmulin, who was in high spirits by Malashenko's compliments and was equally proud of his hard work, began to introduce it.
"In fact, it's more than that, Comrade General. Judging from all the information we have so far, it can even be said to be the most powerful heavy tank in the world, bar none. The Yankees and the British
The technology and design of tanks make people laugh. The Germans were killed by us on the battlefield and fled without their armor. I can't think of anyone else who can compare with it."
"The strongest in the world", this is the most important word in Shashmulin's words, and it is also a fact that Malashenko agrees with.
Malashenko knows very well that in the existing history, the is7, which will not be born until a few years later, is the strongest tank of the same period in the world.
If you make a simple comparison, it will be easier to understand the power of is7.
When the Soviets created the IS7, the Yankees were still playing with Walker Mad Dogs and M46s. The British were a little stronger and had already started working on the early Centurion series. As for the French, it was even worse.
The batch of Panthers received from the German armory after the end of World War II have not been retired yet, and they are still being used.
The above-mentioned broken cars and the is7 can all be thrown into the garbage dump. The is7 in this timeline was born so many years early. In the years of World War II, it would have been difficult to paint the car to make it "invincible".
Written on it.
If the performance and various parameters of the is7 prototype in front of us are the same as those in history, then Malashenko can guarantee that the strong quality advantage brought by the is7 will be beneficial to any tank of the German army.
It's overwhelming.
Whether it is existing or expected to be born in the future.
Until the German Third Reich building collapsed, those German engineers with some serious brain problems could not build anything stronger than the is7. This can be seen from the drawings after Germany's defeat in the existing history.
It can be seen that as for the rat's useless thing, it cannot be compared with the is7, it is far behind.
However, there is one thing that deserves a little attention, which is whether the is7 in this current timeline will be slightly different from the existing one in history.
This is not only caused by the premature birth of is7, but also by some novel and advanced theories and designs that Malashenko has proposed. I wonder whether it will have an impact on the 260 project that Shashmulin launched early. This is the current situation of Malashenko.
What the institute cares about most.
"How is the armor design of this vehicle? Is it an old-fashioned conservative design, or have you integrated the latest technology into it?"
If you're interested, just ask directly. Malashenko has no interest in being the Riddler by beating around the bush with Shashmulin.
Shashmulin, who had probably guessed that Malashenko would definitely ask about the specific performance, was well prepared. After hearing this, he just smiled and stepped forward with confidence, coming to the Arrow Cluster prototype car that he had worked hard on.
He climbed up to the front of the car, stretched out his hand and patted the cold and thick armor, and said at the same time.
"You probably want to ask about composite armor technology, I guess so."
"It is reasonable for you to think so. In fact, as the latest generation of heavy tanks, she has reason to use our best current technology, as long as it is reliable."
"The actual combat situations and reports your troops fed back from the front line played a great role in my subsequent design. At first, it was indeed a relatively conservative design of pure homogeneous steel armor. But when Comrade Kojing put those battlefield reports and design information
After it was sent to me, I realized that this simple, reliable but efficient armor design configuration needed to be integrated into our latest design."
"So, as you would expect, she does use our latest armor technology, which is composite armor. Like the new batch of is6 heavy tanks, the entire front end of this 260 engineering prototype vehicle is also armored.
The same armor configuration is adopted, with a rubber sandwich sandwiched between double layers of homogeneous steel armor.”
"When relying on the equivalent protective armor brought by the excellent inclination design to resist any currently known enemy kinetic energy armor-piercing projectiles, it can also well resist the enemy's chemical energy armor-piercing weapons."
"Our design concept is to make Project 260 immune to all enemy anti-armor weapons. It is truly full-frontal immunity with no blind spots. This means that it not only has to withstand the German Long 88, but also the German Chang 88
The 128 of the Zhuxuehu can also withstand currently known and expected chemical energy penetration weapons in the future. This is the result of rigorous design demonstration and live-fire testing on a full-size armor model target."
Sure enough, Shashmulin lived up to Malashenko's expectations. The composite armor solution, which has been verified on the is6 and is proven to be an extremely effective battlefield protection enhancement design, was also naturally used in the prototype of Project 260.
On the car body.
After all, a simple rubber sandwich does not cost much, and the overall production cost is not much higher. Especially compared to the "elite heavy tank" positioning that Project 260 was originally designed for, it is a little more troublesome and requires more
It requires a lot of work, but the composite armor with greatly improved protective performance is definitely quite cost-effective.
