Chapter 2202 We are not afraid, but there are still problems
You can guess from the appearance that the first anti-tank missile put into actual combat in human history developed by the Germans is a portable precision-guided anti-tank weapon that does not require a mounting platform and is assigned to infantry. To put it bluntly,
Even if one person can barely use this set of equipment, it would be more convenient and more powerful to use it as an anti-tank team with two people.
The requirements for use are not much higher than the Iron Fist, but the threat it poses is far higher than that of the Iron Fist. It is not of the same magnitude. This is undoubtedly bad news for the Red Army.
The good news is that the Red Army, especially the leading division, is not without its own methods to deal with this thing.
As for anti-tank missiles, the principle of killing effect is easy to understand. The warhead charge is concentrated to form a metal jet to break through the tank armor and then kill the inside of the tank. It is also a chemical energy armor-piercing weapon rather than a kinetic energy armor-piercing weapon. Like the Iron Fist
The principle of killing effect is the same.
This means that in order to prevent the Iron Fist, Malashenko had previously developed composite armor and plug-in modular defense enhancement kits specially developed by Kejin, which are all effective against this thing.
But effective is effective, and the biggest question is whether this "effective" can achieve the effect of "immunity".
This is like whether anti-cancer drugs are effective in treating cancer? Of course they are effective, but they cannot produce a qualitative change that can make patients "recover". Anti-cancer drugs only slow down the progression of the lesions and gain more lives for the patients. The cancer itself is still incurable.
"Incurable diseases" that can be completely cured by drug treatment.
To take a step back, whether it is composite armor or external modular defense enhancement kits, they can indeed weaken the penetration depth of metal jets and greatly reduce their power, just like anti-cancer drugs are also effective against cancer.
But whether it can protect the tank depends on how deep the armor penetration of the German anti-tank missile is. After breaking through the external armor, whether there is still enough power left to break through the tank's base armor itself to cause actual effective damage.
If the external armor and the base armor defense of the tank are taken together, they still cannot completely resist the metal jet, then the composite armor and external modular defense enhancement kit are equivalent to anti-cancer drugs, which means almost the same thing.
It's effective, but being effective doesn't mean the tank can be saved. It's that simple.
How to determine whether the result is really like this?
It's simple. Just take this thing out of the box, find a Red Army tank and test-fire it. Whether it can be defended will be revealed once you fire it.
But some things are easier said than done.
Don't say that Malashenko doesn't have time to test it on site now. Even if he has the time, it would still be a bit troublesome to figure out this new German toy that has never been used before.
Although he understands the principle of this thing, it does not mean that Malashenko will be able to use it. Comrade Ma has never personally operated an anti-tank missile, especially a grandfather-level thing like the first-generation wire-guided anti-tank missile.
Malashenko, a time-traveler, can't do it, let alone his comrades, all of whom are blind - blind.
So let alone testing the power, even letting the missile fly safely and smoothly after being launched is something that is impossible to accomplish at the moment.
Malashenko knew that the operation of the first-generation wire-guided anti-tank missile was quite anti-human, and it was even more difficult to train a qualified and skilled shooter. He could track the fast-flying missile with his eyes and then manually control it until it hit the target accurately. You can figure it out in your head.
This requires high reaction speed and hand-eye-brain coordination. It is not as simple as playing a computer game and typing on the keyboard.
If he has time and no fighting for the time being, Malashenko can really sit down and test this weapon to see what its capabilities are.
But the problem is that you don’t have the time right now. Intercepting the German armored forces trying to escape is far more important than testing such a weapon. Of course, Malashenko can tell the difference between what is light and what is important, and of course he also understands that he is currently
What to do.
"Pack it up and take it away. All the samples will be handed over to Karamov. Just say that I authorize him to study this thing and test it. I want to see the test report written by him with my own eyes. Don't rush this matter. Let him hand over the instructions.
I’ll do it after I understand it and feel confident. I’m not in a hurry to get his test report, but I’m waiting for his good news.”
Just like when the Iron Fist was first captured, exactly the same.
The German, who is "sincere in his heart and sincere in his conduct," once again included a small copy of the anti-tank missile instruction manual in each box, along with the entire anti-tank missile system in the weapon box.
The original intention was for frontline German soldiers to read and master weapons, but just like the capture of the Iron Fist, it once again benefited the Red Army.
With this manual, it is much easier to understand the technical parameters and usage of this thing. Among the elite leaders, there are a lot of highly educated commanders and fighters who understand German, so you don’t have to worry about reading.
I don't understand. Malashenko is convinced that his "chief internal officer" Karamov can handle this matter. He loves to study all kinds of fancy and trendy ordnance gadgets. He just needs to wait for good news.
"Everyone, let's go, get in the car! Keep moving! Let's all take action!"
Malashenko, who raised his hand to signal everyone to get on the bus, gave the order. The division commander, who had taken a break, quickly got on the road again together with the heavy tank guard company directly under the division headquarters. He began to run at a faster speed to catch up with the front.
The leading force went out quite a distance, while behind it was a winding, longer line of the main force behind the leader's division that was also marching cross-country.
"Anti-tank missiles, I have never heard of such a thing. I saw that your expression was not right just now. Is it really a big threat to our tanks? What kind of weapon is this?"
Iushkin, who was very curious, asked in the car. Shortly after returning to the car, Malashenko refilled his cigarette and took a puff of fairy air to calm down his shock. His face was quite solemn before he asked.
Iushkin replied.
"It's a long story. I'll tell you the details later. I can't tell you clearly now."
"As for the threat, our division is not afraid of it for the time being, but other friendly forces are different. The Leader Division does not represent the overall level of the Red Army tank force. Just because we can handle it does not mean that other tank divisions can also handle it. I have to take some time.
Go and see Comrade Commander as soon as possible. Some things can only be explained clearly face to face. This matter cannot be explained in a few words."
Iushkin didn't quite understand what "just because we can handle it" means that other tank divisions can also handle it, but he thought it also meant that this weapon was indeed very difficult. At least.
The threat was hovering in the middle below the leader's division and above the ordinary Red Army tank troops, which made Iushkin even more curious about another question.
