Rockets are low in speed.
The energy of the rocket launcher is not large, and a considerable part of this energy has been lost from the trumpet behind. The flames are all energy!
Advanced anti-tank guns or tank guns have fired shells at nearly one thousand meters per second. They rely entirely on speed and kinetic energy to kill, and pierce armor head-on.
But rockets are not. When they fly out, their speed is only more than 100 meters, which is at most 200 meters per second. This speed is quite low, and they are greatly affected by the wind during flight.
And now, after the 60mm rocket flew to the grille armor, it happened that its warhead was the tip of the grille.
If unfortunately, the tip of the warhead hits directly on the grille armor, then it will be detonated immediately, and all the metal jets will penetrate the grille and then shoot into the air in front, causing huge waste.
And now, this has not happened, but it is still unfortunate.
Then, it got stuck.
Yes, the rocket that flew only 200 meters per second, after the pointed end passed through the grille, the rear part was immediately stuck. At this moment, the grille armor showed its power.
What is the principle of grille armor that can block the ammunition attack of the energy-gathering warhead? 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 definitely not exceed ten percent.
Most rockets pass through the dense grille.
In later generations, general energy-concentrating warheads used piezoelectric fuses, which were made of piezoelectric ceramic sheets. They were quite sensitive and greatly reduced the possibility of duds than mechanical fuses.
Grille armor is mainly used to prevent such warheads. If it hits directly, it will definitely be triggered. If it happens to be stuck in the middle of the grid of grille armor, although it will not trigger the fuse, due to the impact, the wire will be short-connected with the shell and cannot detonate the rocket. This probability is about 60%.
The later generations of grille armor can only defend 60%, which also comes from here.
Although it can only protect against 60%, the remaining ones, some hit the grille and detonate in advance, and some gaps between the grille and the body of the car will reduce the power of the rocket, and then face the body of the car, greatly reducing the possibility of being penetrated.
And the fuses in this era are still ordinary mechanical fuses.
The principle of this fuse is extremely simple. The firing needle body is usually separated from the detonator by an isolation spring and is fixed by a steel wire fuse pin. The insulating pin is pulled out before firing. When the rocket hits the target, the bullet body slows down. The firing needle body compresses the isolation spring due to inertia, firing the detonator and detonates the main charge.
Yes, the basic principle of making this rocket fire is to slow down the bullet body. When the warhead hits the tank, the bullet body will slow down. Now, the bullet body is stuck on the grille armor, and it will also slow down!
Just as the bullet body was stuck, its already unfast speed instantly decreased. Under this overload, the firing needle could no longer bear it. Under the action of inertia, it rushed out and hit the isolation spring in front. Then, the detonator was fired.
"Boom." With a light sound, the internal detonator detonated the main charge. Under the action of the energy-concentrating drug cover in front, a fine metal heat flow was sprayed out forward.
Under normal circumstances, the main armor is in front of it, and it suddenly starts attacking the main armor, burning a hole into the armor like a laser.
But, what is ahead of it now?
It's air.
The grille armor is welded outside the tank. In order to achieve a good protective effect, the grille on the vehicle body has expanded about half a meter to the outside. Now, the metal jet ejected from the rocket encounters air forward, and it is cooling rapidly within this half meter air layer.
The metal jet finally contacted the main armor. The side armor of the vehicle body was not thick, but it could no longer be allowed to penetrate the metal jet in rapid cooling. It only left a small pit more than ten centimeters deep on the armor, which had exhausted its last strength.
Blocked!
At the instruction of Head of Cialik, he used grille armor to block the rockets in the energy-gathering warhead, and achieved success!
The anti-tank weapons carefully crafted by the Americans are ineffective in front of this ordinary grille armor. They are not only invalid for tanks, but even infantry fighting vehicles and weak armor can be used to enhance their protection.
"Go ahead, keep going!" Westhagen shouted loudly in the tank in front: "Let their anti-tank hands know how powerful we are!"
Just as he finished speaking, rockets flew over again, and then the fire-breathing tank burned him.
This rocket didn't hit at all.
One, two, the entire tank formation rushed forward and thirty meters ahead of the opponent's front position. On the way, they were attacked by more than twenty rockets. In this case, they did not have a single puncture and they were completely blocked.
If it weren't for the lack of troops, they would really want to rush through the opponent's defense line in one breath.
Now, their experiment has been successful.
The tanks hung in reverse gear and slowly retreated, leaving behind the Soviets and Nissi on the terrified position.
If you want to rely on Bazukka to deal with German tanks, stop dreaming!
When the Soviets were full of hope, they would pour cold water on them. The combination of grille armor and fire-breathing tanks perfectly protected the entire formation. This small attack brought too much shock to the Soviets.
When the experiment is successful, this experience will be promoted throughout the army.
Is Bazuka powerful? It's just a fire stick.
"Our attack time needs to be postponed for a few days. After all the tanks are modified according to grille armor, they will launch an attack." In the wolf's den, Cialik received the previous report.
From strategy to tactics, Cirick almost dabbles in it. After all, his small idea will prevent his subordinates from taking many detours. The simple grille armor will make Bazukka invalid.
At the same time, the front line commander marshalled the fire-breathing tanks, which was beyond his expectations. This had a better effect.
"But, our bazooka has just been installed. Now, if we use the bazooka to hit the Soviet tanks, they will do the same." Keitel said.
Needless to say, I just installed a rocket launcher and it was about to lose its effect.
