Chapter 1577 The Apocalypse That Makes the U.S. Army Helpless

After the heavy infantry and the magnetic storm infantry, there is a neatly equipped square team.

Among the units that appeared on the parade ground this time, there was no girl with bows and arrows, nor any biological units. These will never be announced to the public.

At least in Cai Ruichen's current plan, he will not take the initiative to announce it to the public.

The chariot formation closely followed the magnetic storm infantry formation. The tank formation appeared for the first time. The rhino tanks that appeared in the previous military parade did not appear in the military parade. The Apocalypse tank appeared directly.

For this fourth-generation main battle tank with dual barrels, from the beginning of the belittling by the media of various countries, until now, no one has said that this dual-barrel tank is a tasteless tank, and no one has heard that the Apocalypse tank is a failure. the design of.

Whether a weapon is easy to use or not does not count in any language. After being tested in battle on the battlefield, whether the equipment is valuable or not, the answer will naturally appear.

The U.S. Army has suffered enough from the Apocalypse Tank. Abrams, who used to be ranked first or second in the world, is like a child who can’t grow up in front of the Apocalypse Tank. He is always in the position of being abused. .

Throughout the war, not a single Apocalypse tank was destroyed by an American tank, and only a few lost their combat effectiveness due to anti-tank mines. After repairing, they could still go to the battlefield.

On this point, Cai Ruichen did not make any special publicity, because he has no plans to sell the Apocalypse Tank at all.

At most, it will be sold to some of the hometown, and it is impossible for Cai Ruichen to sell the Apocalypse Tank to the rest of the country.

Because it is absolutely necessary to keep promoting Abrams' arrogant record just like the United States fought Iraq back then, the Apocalypse Tank appears to be very low-key and restrained.

It's just that the light of the pearl cannot be concealed. Although countries rarely see the future media promoting the Apocalypse tank, the United States has a lot of comments on this tank.

These evaluations almost rated this tank as the most powerful ground main battle weapon in the world. It has a built-in phased array radar antenna array and carries short-range anti-aircraft missiles. It can quickly detect armed helicopters, directly launch missiles, and destroy approaching armed helicopters. helicopter.

On the battlefield in Iran, some of the Apache helicopter gunships of the United States were destroyed in this way. The Pentagon of the United States has also disclosed this to the public.

According to the information released by the U.S. military, the outside world has also learned to some extent that on the Iranian battlefield, a longbow Apache squadron of the U.S. Eighth Army,

After receiving the order from the headquarters, they secretly attacked and rushed to the battlefield, preparing to launch an attack on an armored battalion.

As we all know, in normal air-to-ground combat, once the armored forces are targeted by armed helicopters without the protection of air defense forces, the result will be quite tragic, and it is almost tantamount to complete death.

The powerful firepower of armed helicopters can easily destroy main battle tanks.

The Pentagon document also stated that the Eighth Army Command at that time also directly determined that the armored battalion was destroyed when the Apache squadron was about to arrive near the target armored battalion.

However, the actual battle results shocked the entire Eighth Army. It was confirmed that there was no armored battalion nearby without anti-aircraft firepower. There were more than 30 Apocalypse tanks resting on the side of the road. The kind of vertical launching device.

This kind of device is very small, and it can only launch a short-range anti-aircraft missile propelled by a single-stage rocket, but this kind of missile is completely sufficient for attacking helicopters.

A whole squadron of Apache gunships, before they had time to lock on to the target, were already locked on by intensive anti-aircraft fire, and in the end they even just escaped with an injured Apache.

This allowed the U.S. military to once again truly see an unknown aspect of this main battle tank, and before that, no one had information about this main battle tank.

It was also from this time that the U.S. military also realized for the first time that armed helicopters may no longer be the natural enemy of tanks in the future.

Even armed helicopters must start to be careful of tanks on the ground that can be camouflaged at any time. The relationship seems to be out of place all of a sudden.

In fact, the world's first fourth-generation main battle tank, the Russian Armata main battle tank, the United States has believed from the very beginning that this tank has the technology to launch anti-aircraft missiles and phased array radar.

It's just that the United States never thought that the Apocalypse tank with double turrets would have a place to place anti-aircraft missile launchers.

Previously, the United States inferred that the huge tonnage of the Apocalypse tank was due to the relationship between the double turrets, but since then, the United States once again discovered that it was very wrong.

If it weren't for the double turrets that confused the field of vision, the United States would probably not ignore this point based on the analysis of normal equipment performance and indicators.

There is no doubt that this kind of lesson from the United States has also strengthened the global reputation of the Apocalypse Tank.

As one of the two fourth-generation main battle tanks in the world, this dual-barrel main battle tank has also become a household name.

However, so far, no one is optimistic about the dual turrets of this tank.

The reason is very simple. There are only two rivers in the Middle East, and there is no dense water network. The land is hard and hard soil, which is fully capable of bearing this kind of main battle tank weighing 80 tons.

This is a bit similar to the Abrams in the United States, which can grow to more than 70 tons because there are not many factors that limit the weight.

But other countries can't, especially Southeast Asian countries. It is very difficult for this kind of tank to move to Southeast Asia, and various bridges cannot bear such a huge pressure.

However, the development needs of any country's weapons and equipment are first of all based on its own national environment. The Apocalypse tank is suitable for the Middle East, and it is indeed the strongest here. This cannot be denied.

It's just that this tank has natural limitations in use.

Of course, all countries are well aware that the Future Technology Group is capable of producing a dual-barrel Apocalypse tank, and naturally has a way to produce a single-barrel Apocalypse tank with a reduced tonnage of about 55 tons.

It's just that the Middle East Federation doesn't need such a suitable tonnage main battle tank at present, not to mention that the Middle East Federation's own global transport plane can also transport the Apocalypse tank, so there will be no transportation difficulties.

A strategic tactical transport aircraft capable of taking off and landing on complex terrain, coupled with a powerful and unparalleled main battle tank, looks a bit like a sharp knife hanging around the necks of countries.

At this moment, the appearance of the Apocalypse tank formation made the entire military parade even more exciting.
