Because the speed is not fast, many people can catch it with their naked eyes. They watched the super caliber armor piercing projectile blocked in front of the rocket launcher fly forward after the fire gathered. Then, they were in close contact with the target.

When the warhead hits the target, the warhead instant fuse is triggered at the moment of collision.

There are many kinds of fuzes. In this era, there is no more advanced piezoelectric fuze, which is purely mechanical. At the moment of contact between the warhead and the target, it is squeezed and triggered immediately.

The fuse was ignited. At the rear of the warhead, the 1:1 TNT and RDX were ignited.

If it is an ordinary shell, the explosion of explosives will have an effect, including the killing of shrapnel, the pressure killing caused by the shell's own explosives, etc., but now it is different.

The explosion of these mixed explosives radiates along the conical shaped charge cover of the dome. The energy of these explosions will make the conical cover melt rapidly and condense into a high-temperature metal jet with high speed. In order to form the metal jet more stably, there is a large cavity in the front of the warhead. That's how the hollow charge armor piercing projectile comes from.

Now, with the action of explosion energy, a metal jet is rapidly formed in the liner made of red copper alloy, which is called "energy accumulation effect". This metal jet is violently impacting towards the armor. At the same time, the temperature and strength of the metal jet are weakening.

Whether armor can be destroyed depends on the competition between the two sides. If the metal jet has been consumed and has not penetrated the armor, armor piercing has failed.

Now, the metal jet easily passed through the 150 mm thick dense nickel alloy armor, and then a flame jumped behind the armored target.

Armor piercing projectiles are mainly killed by kinetic energy. When armor piercing is completed, the warheads of armor piercing projectiles will collide and sputter back and forth in the tank, and the metal debris carried during armor piercing will also splash in the tank.

Unfortunately, if it hits ammunition or oil, it will cause martyrdom and explosion. If it is lucky enough, it may survive.

The armor piercing projectile relies on this metal jet to enter the interior of the turret at a high temperature of thousands of degrees. At the same time, once the metal jet penetrates, the flame of those explosives behind will enter the interior of the tank along this small hole, and the tank will burn inside in an instant.

In terms of severity, once the armor piercing projectile is successful, it will have greater lethality to the tank.

Carrying the bazooka, I feel very domineering, but actually hitting the bazooka is such a moment. Now, Shrek is still remembering the feeling just now.

Well, later generations of him have only seen it on TV. Now he has finally experienced this feeling. He put down his bazooka and waved to Dr. langweiler next to him: "go and have a look."

Dr. langweller was flattered and amazed. The head of state Chirac was omnipotent. He not only designed the sketch of this rocket launcher, but also operated it. It was really admirable.

A hundred meters away, he soon reached the target position. He saw that the armor of later generations had been burned through a hole, and the ground behind was scorched.

"Our steel plate is 150 mm thick, and the bazooka can be easily destroyed, so it is no problem to destroy the main armor of Stalin tanks in the front on the battlefield." Looking at the end of the steel plate, sherner said easily: "from now on, even our infantry don't have to be afraid of the Soviet tank forces."

Although the probability is very small, it will also be worrying. There have been several such cases in the past. It is not enough to have only recoilless guns. Portable weapons must be available, which can be transferred to infantry squads without occupying the establishment.

If it is a later stalin-4 tank, the main armor is full of 250mm thick, and your own rocket launcher can't break through, but now it's at most the level of stalin-3, almost 160mm is the limit. The cast turret is not strong and can penetrate your own dense armor by 150mm, then there's absolutely no problem hitting Stalin's 160mm turret.

Shrek nodded: "yes, this bazooka can equip our troops in large quantities. At the same time, it needs to continue to improve. Its armor breaking level still has the potential to improve."

There was a formula in later generations for the armor piercing projectile relying on metal jet. The armor piercing thickness would be about five times the diameter, that is, this 100mm thick armor piercing projectile can theoretically penetrate 500mm thick armor.

This depends entirely on the improvement of the liner and the charge, so as to improve the armor piercing performance without changing the thickness.

Xierik doesn't know how to design. These technical materials of later countries are confidential, at least ordinary military fans can't get them.

"Yes, the great Fuehrer." "I'm very glad that our rocket propelled grenade can finally be put into service, but it doesn't have a loud name," Dr. langweller said

Any weapon needs to be named. Now the famous Chirac organ is quite famous. Of course, Dr. langweller also hopes that his weapon can be named by the head of state of Chirac.

"It's the fist that smashes the Soviet tank. Let's call it iron fist." "It can be launched 100 meters away. We call it iron fist-100," said Shrek

In fact, its real level has been close to the iron fist 150 in history. Now xierik is only named iron fist 100. Of course, it is suspected of inducing the enemy. Does this 100 mean a range of 100 meters or a depth of 100 mm?

Iron fist 100, the name is loud enough. Dr. langweller said happily: "thank the Fuehrer."

"Well, I hope there will be iron fist 150 and iron fist 200 in the future. The farther our soldiers operate it, the less dangerous they will be." Said Shrek.

In later generations, almost all rocket launchers can hit 300 meters. In fact, about 300 meters is the most appropriate to protect the safety of shooters.

In history, when iron fist first appeared, it was only iron fist 30, that is, the range was only 30 meters, which was similar to throwing grenades. Until iron fist 60, the range doubled, and immediately won the favor of the national defense force.

Now, it is iron fist 100, which has the ability of actual combat. Next, it is mass production, equipped to the front-line troops, and conducted simple training to teach every soldier how to use it, but you can't have accidents when using it and hurt your own people.

"If we want to destroy each other's tanks at a long distance, it depends on our anti tank missiles." Speer interposed.
