Chapter 260 Reasonable Conjecture

Other countries were also shocked by this shelling. North Korea is the only country in the world that currently has large-caliber artillery groups.

In particular, the well-known Gushan cannon, with a range of more than 60 kilometers, is equivalent to an excellent strategic weapon under special circumstances.

Unexpectedly, here in the Middle East, you can actually see cannonism.

However, what really shocks the world is that this time the future technology has exposed the rate of fire and lethality of these artillery.

Self-propelled artillery is the main battle equipment of the armies of various countries. As a fast-moving fire support platform, it is highly valued by the development of armies of various countries.

Those large-caliber towed artillery are not unusual, after all, artillery has been developed for hundreds of years.

But in the artillery position of the third echelon, the fifty self-propelled artillery in a neat row directly became the most dazzling star in the artillery group.

The huge body exceeds the size of any self-propelled artillery in any country.

With a caliber of 175 mm, it is also a super-large caliber among self-propelled artillery in various countries.

The long barrel seems to have explained its super long range.

Many international military experts also speculated one after another, and soon came up with a similar figure.

The total combat weight is almost 60 tons. With such a weight in the environment of the Middle East, there is no problem with freedom of movement.

According to the needs of the combat environment, even a 100-ton tank can fight freely in an area like the Middle East where there are not many water networks and is dry all year round.

Therefore, the total combat weight of 60 tons is not too heavy.

The extremely high caliber ratio also greatly extends the range of the artillery, and although they cannot see the situation inside the vehicle turret.

However, through the slow playback of the video and the analysis of the initial velocity of the cannon ejected from the chamber, it can also be concluded that this artillery must use high chamber pressure technology.

This technology enables the muzzle velocity of the shell to exceed that of any other type of artillery.

And this kind of technology is generally applied to the main gun of the tank, and the high muzzle velocity brought by the high chamber pressure. It can greatly increase the kinetic energy lethality of shells.

Especially for those armor-piercing shells. The increased lethality of the main gun with high chamber pressure can reach more than 15%.

And explosive attack shells like armor-piercing shells,

With the increased kinetic energy to kill, the power of the shells will also be relatively improved.

At the same time, according to the rate of fire of this automatic artillery. What also must use is the automatic loading device.

Coupled with a gun capable of carrying such a powerful caliber, its chassis can already become a very good tank chassis.

In the end, all military experts can come to a conclusion. Through the performance of this self-propelled artillery, Future Technology Group already has the technology to produce main battle tanks.

Maybe, just like this self-propelled artillery. Other people's tanks are already in production, but it's not yet time to go out.

Perhaps such speculation is a bit exaggerated. After all, no one knows the scale of the production plant of Future Technology Group.

But no one doubted such remarks. Those weapons and equipment painted with the Future Technology Group suddenly appeared on the battlefield under the unexpected eyes of everyone.

Think of those anti-aircraft guns that suddenly appeared. Everyone had to deepen their guesses, under the land of Marin Town. How many secrets are hidden?

Has the Future Technology Group really only appeared in the past few months? Perhaps this is a big game that has been planned for a long time.

However, although the world has too much doubt and speculation, Future Technology Group has never really explained it.

Everyone can understand this, after all, it is impossible for anyone to disclose their secrets to the world.

It's like guessing each other between countries. The most reasonable and realistic possibility is the most convincing.

Even if Cai Ruichen really announced some secrets one day, it would still be considered as a smoke bomb he deliberately released.

After all, some things are still too much beyond people's cognition, especially for those who think they are smart, it is extremely difficult to subvert their worldview, even if it is a fact.

Unless they are allowed to see it with their own eyes, there really may not be many people who believe it.

However, it is naturally impossible for Cai Ruichen to say it, maybe there are really people with big brains who will believe it.

How the outside world guesses, he just needs to keep silent and let them find the answer they think is the most reasonable.

However, what makes him regret is that he does not have the technology to produce tanks as the outside world guesses.

The Tank Killer was also drawn recently, and as for the shipyard, it has not been built yet.

The tank killer that was immediately used on the battlefield, although it played a role as soon as it appeared, is really not as practical as a tank.

After all, the current operations of the troops are all within the scope of the base, and there is no need for weapons such as tank killers.

Towed artillery is completely sufficient. Using the tank killer as a fixed turret is more of a waste.

If it wasn't for the purpose of comprehensively testing the various performances of this equipment, he wouldn't have produced so many in one go.

Comparing artillery with a price of only a few hundred to thousands of dollars, and a tank killer with a cost of 30,000 dollars, the current price/performance ratio is too low.

The cost performance of self-propelled artillery will only be higher if the large corps perform combat missions far from the base in the future.

But the body weighing 60 tons is still a bit heavy.

There is also no way to quickly lift helicopters to the theater, and long-distance transportation requires heavy trucks or heavy transport aircraft.

Otherwise, with the lifespan of the track and the not very fast speed, it would not be able to keep up with the rhythm of the battle.

Moreover, due to the size, the large-caliber tank killer is not suitable for large-scale air transportation.

Take the Il-76 as an example, it can only transport two tank killers in the lightest state at a time.

Therefore, although this weapon has huge damage, there are still those towed artillery that are more cost-effective at this stage. In practice, unless someone is willing to buy it, it really doesn't have much effect.

If it were changed to a tank, it would be completely different, and there would be no need for indiscriminate and wasteful shelling of Samarra.

The Red Police regular army cooperated with the main battle tanks, coupled with the suppression of artillery, it was enough for the troops to quickly take Samarra.

Even if there are only 3,000 troops, it is enough to cooperate with 10 or 20 main battle tanks.

However, for the current base, there is nothing to regret, and Cai Ruichen's mentality is also very relaxed.

Because a ruined Samarra is definitely more in line with the short-term interests of the Future Technology Group than a complete Samarra.

After all, if Samarra is preserved intact, the Iraqi government may not be willing to let Cai Ruichen take over the city.

So there are pros and cons, and everything has its pros and cons. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
