Chapter 2533 Guess
The matter of turning waste into treasure is sometimes not targeted at a single object.
As long as it is possible, anything can be turned into treasure, even the excrement can be used as fertilizer.
Since the original set of experimental launchers is not working at all, just throw it away, push the loading and deployment launch mode, the entire design all over again, and start from scratch to think of other ways.
Generally speaking, this is a long process, which requires a lot of time to repeatedly design, repeatedly demonstrate, and repeatedly test.
And the Germans have come to this point, and what they lack most is time.
Under the pressure of huge reality, the Germans quickly set their sights on the tank chassis that were recovered from the front line and piled up in the rear factories or large repair shops, waiting to be repaired or recycled.
In terms of carrying capacity, these tank-level chassis can easily carry this large missile after removing the turret. After all, no matter how heavy this thing is, it will not be heavier than the tank turret made of solid homogeneous steel.
In terms of deployment methods, mobile deployment on tank chassis is many times stronger than deployment at fixed launch positions.
The small anti-tank missiles used by infantry have been successfully tested and put into mass production and have been equipped in small batches. The Germans have reason to believe that the anti-tank missile operation and sighting devices that can be miniaturized to the infantry level can be integrated and loaded on tank chassis with larger volume and stronger carrying capacity than flesh and blood.
And the size can be appropriately enlarged and the weight of the equipment can be increased in exchange for better performance to enhance combat power.
In theory, they are all tenable and can be established, so the next step is to transform the theory into a practical product.
Because the missiles and the chassis are ready-made, the vehicle-mounted operation and sighting devices that need to be newly installed also have reliable technical support, and only modifications and appropriate performance upgrades need to be made on the basis of the infantry version.
Therefore, the entire transformation and integration process was unprecedentedly fast, and the Germans also experienced the joy that the Soviets often experienced in the past: the joy of integrating a large number of existing shelf products and mature technologies, the joy of lightning-fast and reliable use.
However, this joy seems to have been discovered a little too late for the Germans and arrived a little too late.
The "Tiger VI Missile Tank Destroyer" and "Panzer IV Missile Tank Destroyer" that were actually manufactured were reliable enough. Although they were transformed from a large number of different batches and different models of vehicle chassis recovered from the battlefield, it was almost difficult to find two vehicles with the same appearance and details when these finally modified vehicles were put together and placed in a row.
But there is no doubt that this thing is effective, and it is indeed very effective in its design function, that is, the anti-tank field.
How effective is it?
One shot blew up a captured IS6 heavy tank that was "reluctant to give up" and "reluctantly abandoned" by the Germans because of missing parts and could not be repaired and used.
Yes, it is no exaggeration to say that it is truly a mess.
Not only was the unmovable IS6 blown apart, all the usable parts were removed, and the head of the scrapped IS6 used as spare parts for the still usable German IS6 was blown apart, and the turret was directly blown off the chassis.
And everything that could be removed from the chassis was blown away, including but not limited to the tracks, road wheels, and even the suspension rods connected to the inside of the vehicle.
After a loud explosion with flames shooting into the sky, the already scrapped IS6 was left with only a broken chassis that was restored to the factory settings, and it was like a black coffin in the blazing fire.
The overjoyed Germans were like grabbing a life-saving straw. This thing could actually destroy the headache-inducing IS6 from the front with one shot! It was a new precision strike weapon with a long range and tracking guidance. This was simply God saving Germany!
What happened later was what Malashenko encountered.
The Germans, who were counting on this kind of "decisive weapon" and "black technology weapon" to turn the tide, could not wait to put these magic modified vehicles that had just been transformed into the battlefield, and sent them directly to the Zelo Heights, which was in the most urgent situation and needed the most firefighting.
Together with a large number of reinforcements drawn from Berlin, they were mixed into a relatively strong army to fight against Malashenko's leader division mace.
But reality is always not transferred by people's subjective willpower. It is unrealistic to expect one or two new equipment to change the war situation and the enemy-us situation comparison.
These projectile flying vehicles, which were blown up by the Nazi propaganda machine as "Russian-destroying artifacts", only played a role in the Zelo Heights to annoy and anger Malashenko, and then they met their end in a more thorough destructive blow.
Most of them were raised by the leader division, and a few were abandoned or captured after being paralyzed.
This is what Kotin saw in front of him.
After listening to Malashenko's narration and understanding all the details that Malashenko relayed from the prisoners, Kotin, who had a rough idea in his mind, immediately asked Malashenko.
"You just said that this thing can destroy IS6 with one shot? Destroy it directly from the front?"
Looking at Kotin's expression that was still somewhat unbelievable and seeking a positive answer, Malashenko smiled lightly without any extra emotional changes, but the words that came out of his mouth were so scary.
"In fact, it's not just the IS6. This thing can even destroy the IS7 from the front with one shot, and it's the mass-produced composite armored IS7."
"I saw with my own eyes on the battlefield how this thing flew towards the IS7 and turned my strongest and most valuable main battle technical equipment into a pile of scrap metal. In the huge explosion and raging fire, it only took one hit."
"There was no need to recover and repair that IS7 or rescue the crew members, because that one hit alone exploded the IS7 on the spot and moved its head. You will never imagine how shocked I was when I saw with my own eyes that the IS7's huge turtle shell turret, which was inverted on the body, was directly lifted off the chassis and flew into the sky. This was destroyed from the front, it was crazy!"
""
I didn't expect Malashenko's answer to be like this. Kotin also fell into the same "Shocked my mother for a whole year" expression as Malashenko did at the beginning.
Although the IS7 project was not designed by Kotin, Kotin, who participated in the entire design process and gave continuous suggestions, knew how powerful and epoch-making this "super heavy tank" was. It is no exaggeration to say that this is actually very close to the "ultimate perfect tank" in Kotin's mind based on the current technology and design concept.
You can hardly imagine how to design a heavy tank that is more powerful than IS7 with the current technology. It is even more unimaginable that such a powerful super heavy tank, especially with its terrifying protection, can be killed and exploded on the spot from its most solid front main armor belt.
Malashenko can certainly guess the reason why Kotin is so shocked and shocked, and he knows that there is only one reason why this not-so-clever anti-tank weapon can kill IS7 head-on.
"Guess how much charge is in the warhead of this thing, I bet you will never guess it right."
