Chapter 96 Leopard 2 tanks carried out all-round bombardment on Apocalypse tanks (Happy Chinese Valentine's Day!!!)
The armor defense test of the Apocalypse tank is the top priority of this test, because it is directly related to whether it can meet the needs of the Saudi military.
The reason why Saudi Arabia chose to cooperate with the 077 Machinery Military Factory was because of the Xuanwu special steel worn by the Apocalypse tank.
This kind of steel has excellent protective properties and can effectively resist attacks from various weapons.
"Abdel, thank you for your attention to the Apocalypse Tank." Lin Chenran said.
That's right, Abdul and others brought together a second-generation main battle tank that is now mainstream in the international community: the Hans Leopard 2 tank.
This is a very advanced main battle tank with powerful firepower and mobility.
"Lin, don't say that. Originally, we wanted to bring a whole Yingjiang M1 main battle tank over to test the armor defense of the Apocalypse tank. However, we were watched too closely, so we couldn't secretly transport it into Yan country, so... ..." Abdul apologized repeatedly.
Lin Chenran nodded understandingly, indicating that he understood their difficulties.
He knew that Yingjiang was keeping a close eye on him, especially the second-generation main battle tanks that could not flow into Yan Country.
"Abdul, when the Apocalypse tank hunts your army, it can also be tested. Anyway, its smoothbore gun is 125mm caliber, which is very different from Mao Xiong's T72 tank." Lin Chenran said indifferently.
Although there is a certain gap between Mao Xiong's 125mm smoothbore cannon and Yingjiang's 125mm smoothbore cannon, the difference between the two is actually not obvious.
Lin Chenran also made another suggestion to Saudi Arabia: after they finish hunting the Apocalypse tank, they can use the M1 tank to test the armor defense capability of the Apocalypse tank.
"Thank you Lin for providing us with valuable experience." Abdul expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
This is related to the national defense and security of Saudi Arabia in the Camel Region, so Abdul and others will not take this issue lightly.
At Lin Chenran's signal, the staff of the 077 Machinery Arsenal began to get busy.
They need to dock the Apocalypse Tank to a designated location.
Then wait for subsequent armor defense tests.
The first to appear was the Leopard 2 tank of Hans Country.
The Leopard 2 tank is a second-generation main battle tank developed by Hans in the 1970s.
The tank has a total combat weight of 55.15 tons, a maximum road speed of 72 kilometers per hour, and a maximum range of 550 kilometers.
The main weapon is a 120mm smoothbore cannon.
The Leopard 2 tank secretly sent in by Saudi Arabia in the Camel Region this time is obviously the export version of the Hans Kingdom, and all aspects have been reduced.
But it doesn't matter, as long as it can fire 120mm caliber shells.
Since the testers of the 077 Machinery Arsenal had never driven a Leopard 2 tank, the testers became personnel from the Saudi Arabian Kingdom in the Camel Region.
This time Abdul specially brought a shift of tank drivers.
"Abdul, it's time to start!"
When the staff of the 077 Machinery Arsenal were ready and reported, Lin Chenran turned around and said.
"Then let the test begin!"
Abdul smiled and said to Lin Chenran and the senior military officials of Yan Kingdom, and nodded to Salman beside him.
Salman immediately understood Abdul's intention and turned to give instructions to the operator of the Leopard 2 tank.
As Salman's order was conveyed, the driver of the Leopard 2 tank quickly started the engine, and the tank made a low roar and sped towards the test site.
Not long after, the Leopard 2 tank arrived at the testing site, and then there was a deafening bang, as if it was about to tear the entire sky apart.
This was the sound of a Leopard 2 tank firing. It fired an armor-piercing projectile at the Apocalypse tank in front of it.
I saw the armor-piercing bullet dragging a long fire dragon straight towards the Apocalypse tank at an extremely fast speed.
At this moment, Lin Chenran and others heard a stronger explosion.
Immediately afterwards, they saw flames burning into the sky around the Apocalypse Tank, thick smoke billowing up, and sand and dust being kicked up and filling the air. Compared with the 125mm smoothbore gun of the previous Apocalypse tank, the 120mm smoothbore gun of the Leopard 2 tank is somewhat inferior.
The senior leaders of the Yan Kingdom's military were very calm and just watched all this quietly.
It didn't take long for the test results to be revealed.
Although the Leopard 2 tank fired armor-piercing projectiles at such a close range, it was still unable to break through the frontal defense of the Apocalypse tank.
Armor-piercing bullets only leave a relatively shallow crater on the front.
"this……"
"That……"
Although Abdul and others have seen the test of Xuanwu special steel before.
But when they witnessed the Apocalypse tank resisting the bombardment of the Leopard 2 tank's 120mm caliber armor-piercing projectile, they still couldn't help but look surprised.
Their eyes were filled with disbelief and shock.
The Leopard 2 tank is the second-generation main battle tank of the Hans Kingdom, and its armor-piercing projectiles are extremely powerful.
Faced with such a powerful attack, the Apocalypse Tank was able to withstand it unharmed, which is really shocking.
Immediately afterwards, Abdul asked Salman to continue giving instructions to his driver and shoot in different directions of the Apocalypse tank.
He wanted to see the limits of the Apocalypse Tank.
No, after the order was issued, the Leopard 2 tank quickly took action.
Multiple armor-piercing rounds were fired at the testing Apocalypse tank.
Until all the armor-piercing bullets in the inner chamber are fired.
At this time, everyone was anxiously waiting for the results.
The faces of the senior executives of the 077 Machinery Military Factory also showed anxious expressions, but when they saw their factory director looking at the explosion site very calmly.
Their hearts also settled down.
The backbone did not panic, and other senior executives also began to calm down and suppress the anxiety in their hearts.
"Lin, I see you have a calm face, and you seem to be very confident in the Apocalypse Tank."
Abdul turned his head and saw Lin Chenran calmly staring at the explosion area ahead with a telescope, without any nervousness on his face.
"Abdel, of course I have confidence in our own Apocalypse Tank."
Lin Chenran put down the telescope, turned to Abdul and said with a smile.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Chenran continued: "Previously, the 100mm thick Xuanwu special steel could withstand the bombardment of the T72 tank's 125mm smoothbore gun."
"Now the main weapon of the Leopard 2 tank is a 120mm smoothbore cannon. Although the difference is only 5mm in size, the power is very different."
"The Apocalypse tank is also made of Xuanwu special steel, with a thickness of 150mm at its lowest point. It is still a bit difficult for the Leopard 2 tank to penetrate it, unless..."
When Abdul heard this, he was instantly curious. He wanted to hear the content behind Lin Chenran's "unless".
"Unless the tank driver can aim at the 150mm armor thickness of the Apocalypse tank and continuously fire multiple armor-piercing projectiles, it is possible to penetrate the Apocalypse tank's defense and cause damage to the tank."
Lin Chenran continued.
The probability is too small!
In the ever-changing battlefield, it is impossible to hit the same place continuously.
Happy Chinese Valentine's Day! ! !
Of course the author is a bad coder!
