The Merkava tank is a masterpiece of slanting swords. For Israel, it doesn't matter if it loses some equipment. Human life is the most important thing. Therefore, it is their tireless pursuit to spare no effort to increase the protection of tanks.

Unfortunately, Israel does not have any advanced composite armor technology. Their tanks even have to use ordinary homogeneous steel as armor. The Merkava mk1 model is such a product. Therefore, Israeli engineers have to try their best, such as , the turret adopts a super large slope, and the thickness of the protection is increased by tilting the steel plate. However, the turret can be tilted, but the front of the car body cannot be tilted. Therefore, they had to change the routine and move the huge motor to the front to charge. The entire power cabin can be counted as frontal armor. (In China, this method was once highly praised, and the hero of East China was also very envious of the Merkava tank. Now it seems...)

Since the Merkava only has homogeneous steel armor, in order to achieve the design protection value, it had to keep increasing its weight. As a result, in the 1970s, the Merkava was a monster weighing 58 tons. You know, the Soviet-made tanks of this era , and only forty tons in size. At the same time, the Merkava mk1 is a typical gap armor, with as many as five layers of gaps, and the front of the car body is also composed of three decks. In order to make full use of the space, these gap armors are installed in the gaps. The fuel tank is utilized. Yes, it is the fuel tank. In the consciousness of the Israelis, diesel is blunt and not easy to burn. In the end, the result of the Merkava tank being manufactured has achieved its purpose. No tank around Israel can penetrate the front of the mk1 car body. , this is not because of how good the armor is, but because it is too thick! The armor layer is close to 300 mm, plus a power compartment with a thickness of more than 1.2 meters, which is the engine. Ordinary 105 armor-piercing shells can't drill so thick.

However, it is different now, the Syrians on the opposite side, it is the t-72 tank that drives over! In order to allow his servants to get rid of the western forces, under Andre's suggestion, these export equipment were not reduced. Andre in China, this is how he convinced the high-level military that the t-8o tank belongs to the Soviet Union. The most advanced tank, so the cheap t-72 does not need too much secrecy. Moreover, if you want to kill western tanks, you must export enough weapons to the slave kingdoms!

It is enough to have t-8o as a secret, and there is no need to make a castrated version of t-72.

Moreover, the artillery-launched missiles are also exported simultaneously. Originally, the performance of the 125mm tank gun surpassed that of Israel's 105mm tank gun. Even if they developed newer armor-piercing shells, the caliber advantage still exists, and now, the gun-launched missile successfully launched the first round of attacks !

Not all the artillery-launched missiles penetrated the front motivation, and some did not penetrate. However, when the motivation was destroyed, Merkava lay down, and some artillery-launched missiles hit Merkava On the turret, relying on the two-stage hollow armor-piercing powder cover, it successfully tore open Merkava's turret!

In the violent explosion, one Merkava tank after another was shot and caught fire, and many tank soldiers escaped from the tanks successfully. The biggest advantage of the Merkava is that even if it is destroyed, it still has There is a greater possibility of rescuing your own fighters!

Looking at the mess around him, Naco was very depressed. The opponent's artillery fired missiles and blasted out more than 20 of his tanks in the first round! However, after the first round of blows passed, the distance between the two sides also shortened to 1500 meters!

Shoot, shoot! Nako yelled over the radio.

The distance of 1500 meters is enough to ensure the penetration depth of the m111 armor-piercing projectile! Following Naco's order, his tank trembled violently, the vehicle body vibrated, and a smell of gunpowder instantly spread throughout the tank.

At the muzzle, a ball of fire appeared. At the front end of the fireball, a tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile threw away the cartridge holder and flew forward!

Historically, in the 1982 Lebanon War,

Israel's Merkava tank and the Syrian army's t-72m officially fought. The result of the fight is that Israel's m111 armor-piercing projectile can destroy the t-72m tank! Even m111 armor piercing rounds fired from old magazzi tanks can penetrate opponents!

Afterwards, the Soviet technicians analyzed the problems, and, because they obtained the captured Maghazi-3 with reactive armor from the Syrian army, the Soviet Union finally used the technology to transform its own reactive armor, which was added to the on the t-72.

Now, the Soviet armor force has made great technological progress. For example, these t-72 tanks are all equipped with reactive armor!

In more than two seconds, the warhead of the m111 armor-piercing projectile had already flown to the opposite t-72 tank! The warhead hit the turret of the T-72. As a cast turret, the T-72 has not been shot, but at this time, the outside of the cast turret is driven by brick-like reactive armor!

Boom! The reactive armor exploded, offsetting part of the strength of the m111 armor-piercing projectile, and at the same time, causing the m111's warhead to tilt at a large angle! Then, the warhead passed through the reactive armor, continued to move forward, and finally touched the main armor!

It is working hard to drill in, this is a contest between spear and shield! When it continued to drill, it encountered a layer of quartz sand balls inside, and these balls melted quickly, blocking the further entry of armor-piercing bullets!

The armor-piercing projectile stuck on the turret like this, as if the nurse had not pulled out the needle when giving the patient an injection. At the same time, the turret suddenly shook. Amidst the huge roar, the muzzle of the 125mm tank gun released a ball of fire, and the same tail stabilized. The armor-piercing projectile flew over!

Nako looked at his own fire in frustration, but it didn't achieve any effect. The opponent's tank actually resisted the attack of his own m111 armor-piercing projectile! This kind of armor-piercing bullet is our secret weapon! It was originally planned to rely on this kind of armor-piercing bullet to hit the Syrian tank force heavily, but now, there is no result!

I can't bear it anymore, it's time to retreat! Just as Nako was about to order his troops to retreat, he felt the car body vibrate violently and was hit by the opponent!

A 125mm armor-piercing projectile flew from a distance and hit the turret of the Merkava tank. The steep angle and multi-layered turret made continuous collision sounds. It was the opponent's armor-piercing projectile, which penetrated layer by layer. The gap armor of the turret! (To be continued.)
