Chapter 2197 We Are Not Afraid but There Are Still Problems

Chapter 2202 We are not afraid, but there are still problems

From the appearance, you can guess that this anti-tank missile, the first anti-tank missile in human history, is a portable precision-guided anti-tank weapon that does not require a platform and is assigned to infantry. To put it bluntly, it can be used by one person with this set of things, and it is more convenient and powerful to use it with two people to form an anti-tank team.

The use requirements are not much higher than the Iron Fist, but the threat it causes is far higher than the Iron Fist and is not of the same order of magnitude. This is undoubtedly an absolute bad news for the Red Army.

The good news is that the Red Army, especially the Leader Division, is not without a way to deal with this thing.

The principle of the killing effect of anti-tank missiles is easy to understand. The warhead charge is also a metal jet to break the tank armor and then kill the inside of the tank. It is also a chemical armor-piercing weapon rather than a kinetic armor-piercing weapon, and the killing principle is the same as the Iron Fist.

This means that the composite armor and external modular defense enhancement kit that Malashenko and Kotin had developed to defend against the Iron Fist are effective against this thing.

But the biggest problem is whether this "effectiveness" can achieve the effect of "immunity".

This is like whether anti-cancer drugs are effective in treating cancer? Of course it is effective, but it cannot form a qualitative change effect that makes the patient "cured". Anti-cancer drugs only slow down the deterioration of the lesions and win more lives for patients. Cancer itself is still an "incurable disease" that cannot be completely cured by drug treatment.

To put it another way, whether it is composite armor or external modular defense enhancement kits, they can indeed weaken the armor penetration depth of metal jets and cut its power, just like anti-cancer drugs are effective against cancer.

But whether the tank can be protected depends on how deep the German anti-tank missile is. After breaking through the external armor, whether there is still enough power to break through the tank base armor itself to cause actual effective damage.

If the external armor plus the tank's own base armor defense are counted together, they still cannot completely resist the metal jet, then this composite armor and external modular defense enhancement kit are equivalent to anti-cancer drugs, which is almost the same.

It is effective, but effectiveness does not mean that the tank can be saved, it's that simple.

How to determine whether the result is really like this?

Simple, take this thing out of the box, find a Red Army tank to test fire a shot, and whether it can be defended or not, one shot can tell the difference.

But some things are easier said than done.

Not to mention that Malashenko does not have the time to test it on site now, even if he has the time, it is a bit troublesome to figure out this new toy of the Germans that has never been used.

Although he understands the principle of this thing, it does not mean that Malashenko will use it right away. Comrade Lao Ma has never operated an anti-tank missile by himself, especially the first-generation wire-guided anti-tank missile, which is a grandfather-level thing.

Malashenko, the time traveler, can't even use it, let alone his comrades, who are all in the dark - blind.

So let alone testing the power, even making the missile fly safely and steadily after it is launched, this is impossible to accomplish at the moment.

Malashenko knows that the operation of the first generation of wire-guided anti-tank missiles is quite anti-human, and it is even more difficult to train a qualified and skilled shooter. Tracking the fast-flying missile with eyes and then manually controlling it until it hits accurately, you can imagine how high the reaction speed and the coordination of hands, eyes and brain are required. This is not as simple as playing computer games and typing on the keyboard.

If he has time and no war to fight, Malashenko can really calm down and test and study this weapon to see what it can do.

But the problem is that you don't have the time at the moment. It is far more important to intercept the German armored forces that are trying to escape than to test such a weapon. Malashenko can certainly tell which is more important, and of course he knows what he should do now.

"Pack it up and take it away. All samples should be handed over to Karamov. Just tell him that I authorize him to test this thing after he has studied it thoroughly. I want to see the test report he wrote with my own eyes. There is no rush for this matter. Let him read the instructions and do it when he is sure. I am not in a hurry for his test report, but I am waiting for his good news."

It is exactly the same as when the Panzerfaust was first seized.

The Germans, who are "honest and sincere", once again put a small manual for the anti-tank missile in each box and attached it to the weapon box along with the entire set of anti-tank missile system.

The original intention was for the German soldiers on the front line to read and master the weapons, but just like the Panzerfaust, it was once again a bargain for the Red Army.

With this manual, it is much easier to understand the technical parameters and usage of this thing. In the elite leadership division, there are a lot of highly educated officers and soldiers who know German, so there is no worry about not being able to understand it. Malashenko was sure that his "chief eunuch" Karamov could handle the matter. He loved to study all kinds of fancy new military gadgets, and he only needed to wait for good news.

"Everyone, get on the bus! Keep moving! Get moving!"

Malashenko raised his hand to signal everyone to get on the car and gave the order. The car of the division commander who was taking a break, together with the heavy tank guard company directly under the division headquarters, soon got on the road again. They began to chase the leading troops that had run far ahead at a faster speed, and behind them was a winding and longer string of the main force of the leader division that was also on the cross-country march.

"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 full of curiosity, asked in the car. Malashenko, who had just returned to the car and was on the road again, first refilled his cigarette, took a puff of fairy air to calm down, and then replied to Iushkin with a solemn face.

"It's a long story. I'll tell you the details later. I can't explain it clearly now."

"As for the threat, our division is not afraid for now, but other friendly forces are different. The leader division does not represent the overall level of the Red Army tank forces. We can handle it, but it doesn't mean that other tank divisions can handle it. I have to find time to meet the commander as soon as possible. Some things can only be said clearly in person. This matter is not something that can be explained in a few words."

Iushkin didn't quite understand what "we can handle it, but it doesn't mean that other tank divisions can handle it" meant, but I think it also means that this weapon is indeed very tricky. At least the threat is below the leader division and above the ordinary Red Army tank forces, which makes Iushkin even more curious about another question.
