Chapter 438 The Infantry Nightmare Continued Part 1
Is this thing complicated? Nothing complicated.
Ranging, whether it is the old visual measurement or the advanced laser ranging, is nothing more than measuring the distance between the enemy and oneself. If the precision requirement is high, use a modern one, regardless of the size, but it can definitely be done.
Fuze, as long as it is a shell, there must be a fuze. It is nothing more than a collision fuze for ordinary shells, but this time it is replaced with a smart fuze.
Isn't the rotation counting fuze just another usage of the gyroscope? As long as the speed of the shell is known and the rotational speed of the shell is known, it is easy to calculate the flying distance of the shell according to the number of circles.
Electronic timing fuze, the same reason, is nothing more than knowing the speed of the shell, and multiplying the speed by time is the distance. It is too simple, just an electronic counter.
The smart air blast that Guo Tailai mentioned is to put it all together. Before the shell is launched, the data that needs to be set is input into the intelligent fuze of the shell, and then it is activated at the moment the shell is fired. According to the rotation count or electronic timing After the calculation reaches the target, the fuze is activated and the shell is detonated, which is such a process.
The two generals may not be particularly familiar with the latest technologies, but Zhao Yanyan is! Quickly explained these principles with the simplest description. After the two generals listened, their faces were dull. Missiles can be played with precision, and now even a small 30mm shell can be played like this? Is this thing available internationally now? It seems that as long as it is integrated, this is a leading international world number one!
"Can we do it with our current technology and processing level?" General Sun's first thought was whether it could be done.
"Gyroscope, Fatty can already do it within two millimeters." Zhao Yanyan replied very positively: "As for the electronic counter, think about the electronic watch, how big it can be after removing the shell and the LCD screen displayed."
"That is to say, as long as we work hard, this can be done?" General Chu also reacted, his eyes were bright like little lanterns, and he asked in surprise.
Zhao Yanyan looked at her chubby boyfriend and nodded proudly.
"Anyway, this thing must be a vehicle, and it can be tolerated if the equipment is bigger." Guo Tailai also added next to him: "Improve the barrel, enhance the shooting accuracy, or increase the energy of the propellant. A little bigger should be fine."
"Xiao Zhao, write it down, and discuss the establishment of the project when we get back." General Chu couldn't wait to remind Zhao Yanyan. After the reminder, he turned his head to look at Guo Tailai, as if looking at some rare treasure. So many things can be revealed by casual chatting, the fat man is really more surprising than the stories he has heard!
"This thing, if your company has developers, they should be able to do it, right?" General Sun took a bite of food beside him and ate it slowly. After calming down, he asked Guo Tailai.
"Let me make ammunition in the capital?" Guo Tailai complained to General Sun speechlessly: "Uncle Sun, are you helping me? Or are you hurting me? You dare to let me do it, but I dare not do it myself! "
Anyway, everyone emphasized that it was a personal identity, so Guo Tailai shamelessly called him Uncle Sun and Uncle Chu, regardless of his official position or military rank, and who he loved.
General Chu also nodded secretly in his heart, Guo Tailai knew how to measure, which is very good. Of course, what he would like to see the most is that Guo Tailai doesn't hide his secrets, he will definitely say what he can think of and can't do it, and he won't hide it. He is a smart person and a fat man.
"Come here, fat man, this is the noodles made by our best noodle cooker, try it." Just as he was speaking, the noodles were served, and General Sun, who is a landlord, immediately greeted Guo Tailai warmly and started to eat.
Guo Tailai is not too polite. The large bowls in the army, the noodles rolled out by hand, and the big oil and broth in order to ensure that the soldiers have enough energy to replenish calories. Dahe, very comfortable.
"One more bowl!" After finishing the whole bowl happily, Guo Tailai was really not polite at all, and asked for another bowl on his own initiative.
"Fatty, you said, the weapons on the infantry chariot can deal with infantry like this, what about the tank?" General Chu asked Guo Tailai casually before the second bowl was served: "Infantry and tank coordination, rely on Anti-aircraft machine guns on tanks?"
"The same principle can be used!" Guo Tailai said without hesitation: "The larger the caliber, the greater the lethality?"
"Doesn't it take a certain amount of time to develop it?" General Sun said with a smile beside him, "Is there any easier, off-the-shelf one?"
"Shotgun!" At first, General Sun didn't think Guo Tailai could answer, but Guo Tailai opened his mouth and came without hesitation: "Nowadays, the 12-gauge shotgun used for shotguns only has a dozen bullets. How big is the tank shell? Get a thousand?" Many steel balls or tungsten balls are stuffed in, and when fighting in the city, they are fired at places where infantry is densely populated, think about the effect?"
One of the biggest problems with tanks in urban warfare is inappropriate ammunition. For the needs of anti-armor operations, kinetic energy armor-piercing ammunition is standard equipment for active tanks, but it is not very effective in urban warfare. Take the Iraq War in 2003-2004 as an example. In frontal combat, the armor-piercing projectile can only punch a hole in the building at most, and its killing effect on the internal personnel is very limited.
In order to solve this problem, the U.S. military was later equipped with the M1028 gun developed by General Dynamics to shoot anti-personnel shotgun. This shell is equipped with 1,100 tungsten steel balls. After being injected into the building and detonated, the effect is comparable to a giant "shotgun", which can kill all enemy personnel within the range. Guo Tailai referred to this design.
Both General Sun and General Chu are familiar with shotguns, not to mention Zhao Yanyan, special soldiers require them to be proficient in almost all active weapons, and they don't even know they have fired hundreds of bullets.
Almost as soon as Guo Tailai finished speaking, the three of them seemed to be enlightened. There is no need to say anything about the principle of this thing, just thinking about the scene where more than a thousand projectiles are fired from the tank gun is enough to make them shudder.
In particular, Guo Tai said a very important point that he didn't notice, urban combat. From the last few small-scale wars in the world, urban warfare has accounted for a large proportion. If Lao Maozi's motorized infantry regiment had tank shells like Guo Tailai's in the street fighting in Grozny in Chechnya, or smart ammunition like that on chariots, would the result have been a disastrous defeat?
No one can assume the outcome of the war, but more and more urban battles in modern warfare are inevitable. At this time, the two generals wanted to question themselves directly. Why did no one think of such a simple method? Is everyone's brains limited to death, thinking that shotguns can only be used on shotguns?
Why can't tank guns use shotguns? The technical content of this thing, well, there must be some, but it will never be more troublesome than that smart ammunition. In particular, this can be completely solved by existing military technology!
Hitting people with tank guns is so cruel!
