Chapter 1520 Successfully Blocked

Rockets have low velocity.

The energy of the rocket propellant is not large, and a considerable part of this energy is lost from the rear bell mouth. Those flames are all energy!

Advanced anti-tank guns or tank guns, the speed of the projectiles fired is close to one kilometer per second, relying entirely on speed, relying on kinetic energy to kill, and pierce armor head-on.

But the rocket is not. When it flies out, the speed is only more than 100 meters at most, or more than 200 meters per second at most. This speed is quite low, and it is greatly affected by the wind during flight.

And now, after the 60mm rocket hit the grille armor, by coincidence, the tip of its warhead avoided the grille.

If, unfortunately, the very tip of the warhead hits the grille armor directly, then it is immediately detonated, and all the metal jets will go through the grille and into the air in front of it, causing a huge waste.

And now, it didn't happen, but it's still unfortunate.

Then, it got stuck.

Yes, only the rocket flying at 200 meters per second, after the pointed tip passed through the grille, the rear part was immediately blocked. At this moment, the grille armor showed its power.

The grille armor can block the ammunition attack of the shaped warhead. What is the principle? Of course, there are cases where the warhead is directly blocked and detonated, but this is quite rare.

It can be calculated by probability, and it will never exceed ten percent.

Most rockets pass through the dense grid.

In later generations, the general shaped warheads used piezoelectric fuzes, which were made of piezoelectric ceramic sheets, which were quite sensitive and greatly reduced the possibility of duds compared to mechanical fuzes.

The grille armor is mainly to prevent this kind of warhead. If it hits directly, it will definitely be triggered. If it happens to be stuck in the middle of the grid of the grille armor, although the fuze will not be triggered, due to the impact, the wire will not be triggered. It will short-circuit with the shell and will not be able to detonate the rocket, and the probability of doing so is about 60%.

The statement that grid armor can only defend 60% in later generations also comes from here.

Although it can only prevent 60% of the rest, some hit the grille and detonate in advance, and some tens of millimeters of space between the grille and the car body will reduce the power of the rocket, and then face the car body Armor, greatly reducing the possibility of being penetrated.

And now the fuze in this era is still an ordinary mechanical fuze.

The principle of this fuze is extremely simple. The firing pin is usually separated from the detonator by an isolation spring and fixed by a steel wire safety pin. The safety pin is pulled out before firing. The action compresses the isolation spring, firing the detonator and detonating the main charge.

Yes, the basic principle of making this kind of rocket fire is to slow down the projectile. When the warhead hits the tank, the projectile will slow down. Now, the projectile is stuck on the grille armor. Similarly, it will also slow down. !

At the moment when the projectile was stuck, its unpleasant speed was instantly reduced. Under this overload, the firing pin could no longer bear it. It rushed out under the action of inertia and hit the front. The isolation sprung, and then the detonator was fired.

"Boom." With a light sound, the internal detonator detonated the main charge, and under the action of the energy-forming charge in front, a thin metal heat flow was sprayed forward.

Under normal circumstances, the front of it is the main armor, and this time it starts to attack the main armor, burning a hole in the armor like a laser.

But what's ahead of it now?

is air.

The grille armor is welded on the outside of the tank. In order to have a good protective effect, the grille on the car body has been extended to the outside by about half a meter. Now, the metal jet ejected from the rocket is facing forward. Air, in this half-meter air layer, it is cooling rapidly.

The metal jet finally came into contact with the main armor. The side armor of the car body was not thick. However, the rapidly cooling metal jet could not be penetrated. It just left a small pit with a depth of more than ten millimeters on the armor. , has exhausted the last strength.

blocked!

Under the instruction of the head of Cyric, the grid armor was used to block the rockets of the energy-forming warhead, and it was a success!

The anti-tank weapons carefully built by the Americans will fail in front of this layer of ordinary grille armor, not only for tanks, but even infantry fighting vehicles, that layer of weak armor can also be enhanced with grille armor. protection.

"Go forward, keep going!" Westhagen shouted from the tank in front: "Let their anti-tank men know how good we are!"

Just as he finished speaking, a rocket came flying again, and then the fire-breathing tank scorched him.

The rocket didn't hit at all.

One, two, the entire tank formation rushed forward until 30 meters away from the opponent's forward position, and was attacked by more than 20 rockets on the way. In this case, they did not have a single breakdown. , completely blocked.

If it weren't for the lack of troops, they really wanted to rush through the other's defense line in one go.

Now, their experiment has been successful.

The tank was in reverse gear and slowly backed away, leaving the Soviets and Nissi in a terrified position.

If you want to rely on Bazooka to deal with German tanks, stop dreaming!

When the Soviets are full of hope, they will pour cold water on them again. The combination of grille armor and fire-breathing tanks perfectly protects the entire formation. This small attack has brought too much shock to the Soviets. .

When the experiment is successful, this experience will be popularized in the whole army.

Is Bazooka great? Just a fire stick.

"The time of our attack needs to be postponed for a few days, and the attack will not be launched until all the tanks are modified according to the grille armor." In the wolf's lair, Cyric received the previous report.

From strategy to tactics, Cyric almost dabbles in it. After all, a small idea of ​​his will make his subordinates take a lot less detours, and the simple grille armor will make Bazooka ineffective.

At the same time, the front-line commander grouped the Spitfire tanks, which was beyond his expectations. This has a better effect.

"It's just that our rocket launchers have just been installed. Now, if we use rocket launchers to hit Soviet tanks, they will do the same," Keitel said.

This is needless to say, the rocket launcher has just been installed on the side, and it is about to lose its effect.

"That's not necessarily true. After all, the rocket launcher is an individual cannon. In addition to being used to fight tanks, it can also be used to fight bunkers and firepower points. When the infantry is too late to summon the tank, the rocket launcher has a great effect." Cyric said: "And , our bazooka is far more powerful than the Americans."
