C131 Compete in Firepower
C131 Compete in Firepower
On flat ground, the resistance was not small. In the mud pit, the resistance was even greater. In the mud pit, one had to climb up to get out of it. The resistance was the greatest.
The engine with 780 horsepower roared. After two attempts, it did not succeed. Qin Guan knew that if he wanted to rely on his own power, he would not be able to get up.
Mud was everywhere. Qin Guan stood on the tank and watched as the Leopard-2 tank drove over.
"Catch it." The Leopard-2 was upside down. When it came to the front of the mud pit, a soldier threw a steel wire over.
"Alright." Qin Guan looked at the steel wire as it whizzed over and left his vehicle. Therefore, he could only stretch his body. He reached out his hand. Forward. He pulled the steel wire from the mud. Then, he hung it on the hook in front of his car.
Tanks had great mobility, and their adaptability to the terrain far exceeded that of a wheel car. At the same time, Tanks were often in trouble when crossing the road.
Therefore, the front and back of the tanks had hooks, ready for mutual assistance at all times.
Now, after hanging up the hook, Qin Guan once again crawled back into the cockpit. His hand casually wiped on his body twice, wiped off the mud, and then started the engine again.
"Long, long, long." This time, the two engines at the front and back worked together.
The Leopard-2 tank in front of them emitted black smoke from the engine, and the steel wire was already tightened. With a huge force, it pulled the tank that had sunk into the mud behind it. As for the T-72 in the back, its engine was also rumbling. The two tanks were emitting black smoke at the same time. The T-72 was in the mud pit. Struggling, struggling, finally, the front of the car came out!
The Leopard-2 tank was still at the front using all its strength. The T-72 tank at the back also used all its strength. The two tanks together finally left the mud on the back of the T-72.
At this time, the tank was almost completely covered in mud. The tracks, and the Load Wheel had all turned yellow. After leaving the mud, the engine finally heaved a sigh of relief.
It's out!
"In terms of maneuverability, the chassis of the Leopard-2 tank are the victors." Elder Zhu made up his mind. "Its engine power is high, and the power of tons is high. At the same time, its tracks are wider, and judging from the driver's feeling, it's easier to drive the Leopard-2. When we recruited the Tank Soldier, there's no need to recruit small fries."
The tanks nowadays were very tight, so the Tank Soldier needed small fries to recruit them. When he was driving the Leopard-2 just now, Qin Guan's entire body was inside the tank. He wouldn't feel aggrieved. But if he was driving the T-72... Even if he stuck his head out, he still wouldn't feel comfortable.
The pros and cons of the two chassis could be seen with a single glance. If he was certain that he wanted to use the Leopard-2 chassis as a prototype to develop it, then there would be a very important problem that could be solved. Their production technology must be able to produce engines with sufficient power.
There were blueprints and crafts. Even if they had everything, they would still need to go through some polishing and real manufacturing before they could check the gap between them. It would not be easy to reach the same level as the original Hans.
The test of mobility ended there. Next, it was time to test the firepower of the tank.
If they were only comparing the caliber, the 125mm cannon of the T-72 would have a larger caliber. However, compared to the firepower of the tank, it was definitely not enough to just compare the caliber.
"1,000 meters, 300 mm target." The atmosphere on the testing field became tense.
The two tanks stood side by side. One thousand meters away from them, two vertical markers, one square meter, were erected. There was a cross in the middle of the target. If they could hit the cross, they would hit the target accurately.
In terms of firepower, apart from penetration, there was also precision.
Qin Guan did not operate the tank. He could drive the tank, but firing the cannon required professional personnel.
"T-72 ready."
"The Leopard-2 is ready."
"Fire!"
"Boom!" The 125mm cannon fired first. At the muzzle of the cannon, a golden fireball suddenly bloomed. Behind the fireball was thick black smoke. In front of the fireball, an armor-piercing bullet opened its tail and a Missile Wing flew out.
Following that, the 120mm cannon also fired. Although it was a backfire, when the fireball formed, it was even bigger than the T-72.
What did this mean?
The tank gun of the people of Hans Country had a higher pressure, and the medicine it shot out was even more powerful!
The pressure within the cannon barrel determined the effectiveness of the tank gun. The higher the pressure, the faster the cannonball would fly out. However, the higher the bore pressure, the greater its bearing capacity. This required an advanced metal smelting process. Otherwise... This was a proper explosion.
The 120mm tank gun within the Leopard-2 tank had a pressure of more than 500. This was still taking into account the issue of lifespan. The highest pressure it could bear was over 700. This was definitely a heaven-defying number.
When the tank gun opened fire, everyone covered their ears. It had nothing to do with courage. Listening to the sounds of gunfire all year round would make one deaf.
Both of them were armor-piercing metal rods. However, the Leopard-2's single shell was longer, and the two long and slender cores were flying in the air. The distance of 1000 meters was less than a second.
When the cores collided with the target, a high-frequency vibration sound wave that was hard for one's eardrums to accept rang out.
If one were to watch a movie or attack the enemy's tank, it would be a loud explosion and the enemy's tank would be on fire. In fact, the fire was caused by the internal explosion of the tank's ammunition.
If it was just armor penetration, other than the sound of collision, there wouldn't be any other effect.
The 11th style APFSDS carried a sharp whistling sound as it came over. It was almost half a meter away from the cross line at the center, and the bullet came into close contact with the target.
At the moment of contact, the huge heat brought by the collision began to melt the part of the collision. The bullet of the armor-piercing bullet also began to deform, but it still bore a powerful kinetic energy as it drilled inside.
As it continued to drill forward, its speed also became smaller and smaller. The point of contact of the target continuously melted inward, and the bullet continued to penetrate deeper and deeper.
Finally, its head loosened and went through!
However, the moment it passed through, it felt as if it had completely lost all its strength and could no longer move.
The armor-piercing bullet was stuck at the point of impact. The bullet in front was exposed, the tail was exposed, and the middle of the bullet was stuck on the target. It looked somewhat comical.
"Under such circumstances, it can be considered to have pierced through." Everyone came over to look at the target. Elder Zhu said, "But it is very obvious that its armor-piercing ability is at the limit of 300 mm."
Looking again, on the other side, the Leopard-2 tank's target was a melted hole. The bullet had long disappeared!
