Red Soviet Union

Tikhonov is definitely a representative of Andre's most trusted officers. When he was in the Far East Military Region, Tikhonov was appreciated by Andre and transferred to the Moscow Military Region to become the commander of the 4th Guards Tank Division. The division commander turned a shelf division into a resounding force.

After that, Tikhonov expressed his loyalty to the Soviet with practical actions, especially when Moscow was in turmoil and Boris mobilized some so-called patriotic masses to take to the streets to disrupt the order of the Soviet. The fourth tank The division even resolutely carried out the order of Marshal Andrei, drove into the Red Square, and set things right!

This army is the backbone of the Soviet!

After that, Tikhonov was also promoted to a higher level and became the commander of the First Guards Tank Army, which included the Fourth Guards Tank Division and the 32nd Motorized Infantry Division of the Guards, and the 144th Motorized Infantry Division of the Guards. infantry division.

After all, most of the offensive routes this time are in mountainous areas. In mountainous areas, motorized infantry divisions are more convenient than tank divisions.

Although it is called the Tank Army, there is only one tank division. This does not mean that the attack power of this kind of unit is not strong enough, because the number of tanks equipped by the Soviet motorized infantry divisions can often catch up with the Western armored divisions.

Tikhonov did not enter the upper echelons of the Moscow Military Region. Of course, he also knew Andrei’s intentions. In many cases, the generals who lead the troops on the front line are more valuable than the senior officials in the military region. He loyally executed Marshal Andrei. Every command, especially now, to attack Alaska, he is even more on the front line!

At this time, sitting in a huge ground-effect aircraft, he landed in Alaska simultaneously with the troops directly under the group army. Tikhonov was very excited.

In the past, landing on the island country greatly hit the arrogance of the Americans, but now, it is landing in Alaska!

At the beginning, Alaska was bought by the Americans in a conspiracy. Now, if the Americans don't return it, they will use war to solve it!

There was the sound of rumbling engines in the engine room, and Tikhonov's eyes were fixed on the tanks in the middle. These tanks just entered service in their army three months ago, and they are also the most advanced Soviet weapons!

1k-17s laser tank!

Now, the Soviets already have laser weapons in outer space, as well as shipborne laser weapons. These laser weapons are often megawatt-class lasers, which can directly detonate missiles.

After all, the platforms of these weapons are huge, and at the same time, land-based laser weapons are also being intensively developed.

In fact, this kind of weapon has been secretly developed by the Soviet Union. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, people were surprised to find that there were already laser tanks in the Soviet era!

This laser tank looks the same as a multi-tube self-propelled rocket launcher. It uses a tracked chassis with fifteen tubes of launchers on it. You can see that there are red lenses inside each tube.

This kind of laser cannon using solid aluminum oxide as the laser source needs to use a cylindrical artificial ruby ​​crystal weighing up to 30 kilograms. Because the laser generated by one laser is not powerful enough, fifteen lasers are required to work synchronously. Automatic aiming system, multiple laser beams are projected onto the smooth target surface and focused together, which can produce a strong burning effect and destroy the enemy's sighting equipment.

From the point of view of thinking, it has the same thinking as the laser device on the Huaxia tank of later generations.

It cannot directly detonate a nuclear bomb. Its greatest use is to destroy the opponent's sighting equipment, which greatly limits its use conditions. At the same time, the high cost makes Russia after the disintegration absolutely unbearable, and it has become a chicken rib. Ordinary existences will eventually end up being dismantled, and they cannot be finalized for service at all.

But now, the situation has changed a lot. After the space-based and sea-based laser weapons continue to mature, this land-based laser weapon has also begun to mature!

It uses a solid-state laser, after various technical improvements,

Finally, let this laser emit a maximum power of 0.5 megawatts! This is no longer destroying the opponent's observation and targeting facilities, but directly destroying the opponent's weapon platform!

Whether it's tanks on the ground, planes in the sky, flying missiles, or even strategic missiles, they can all be destroyed!

In the atmosphere, the attenuation is very serious. The power of this laser is not large enough, so its effective distance is at most 20 kilometers. However, for ground weapons, the distance of 20 kilometers is definitely long enough!

At the same time, this kind of laser also needs a strong energy source. Even if it is installed with a generator with sufficient power, it will be limited by fuel, which will eventually lead to a chicken rib. Therefore, the person in charge of the project chassis is located in Sverdlovsk The Ural Transportation and Machinery Industry Design Bureau, which is the highest research and design institution for Soviet self-propelled artillery. Under the leadership of chief designer Yuri Vasilevich Tomashova, a new chassis was developed specifically for it.

From the outside, this tracked chassis is the same as the six road wheel chassis of an ordinary self-propelled artillery, but when it moves, it can't hear any sound of the internal combustion engine at all, only the electric motor Sizzle. Because it uses electric propulsion! And this power is provided by a small nuclear reactor at the rear of the car body.

The Soviet small nuclear reactor technology has long been mature, and it has been widely used on spacecraft, which is an example. However, it is the first time that it has been used on land.

In addition to the issue of cost, another key point is safety. This kind of weapon is to be used on the battlefield. Once it is destroyed by the opponent's anti-tank weapon, it will cause a terrible nuclear leak.

Therefore, the outside of this nuclear reactor is covered with thick newly developed composite armor, and there are various emergency measures to ensure the safety of this nuclear reactor, and emergency shutdown can be realized at any time. At the same time, this is only a temporary measure.

More advanced nuclear fusion reactors have also been invested heavily in research and development in the Soviet Union, which is related to energy issues in the next few decades.

The nuclear reactor provides almost unlimited energy to charge the supercapacitor of the upper laser to meet the shooting needs. When shooting with the strongest power of 0.5 megawatts, it takes one minute to be fully charged.

The 4th Tank Division has always been an experimental unit. All kinds of new equipment will be tried out in this unit. Therefore, correspondingly, the cultural level of the soldiers of the 4th Tank Division is also the highest. Many grassroots commanders, They are all college graduates. Now, those who operate these laser tanks have all completed corresponding courses.

There are not many such laser tanks, only five in total. At the same time, they will not participate in front-line battles, and the specific tactics need to be explored by soldiers.

The flight was long, and while they were making strategic deliveries, ahead, the air battle had begun.
