Rockets are slow.

The energy of rocket propellant is not large, and a considerable part of this energy is lost from the rear bell mouth. Those flames are energy!

Advanced anti tank guns or tank guns have fired shells at a speed of nearly one kilometer per second. They rely entirely on speed and kinetic energy to kill and pierce armour.

But the rocket is not. When it flies out, its speed is only more than 100 meters, up to more than 200 meters per second. This speed is quite low, and it is greatly affected by the wind in flight.

Now, after the 60mm rocket flew onto the grid armor, it happened that the tip of its warhead avoided the grid.

If, unfortunately, the tip of the warhead directly hits the grid armor, it will be detonated immediately. All metal jets will pass through the grid and then shoot into the air in front, causing a huge waste.

Now, it has not happened, but it is still unfortunate.

Then it got stuck.

Yes, only 200 meters per second came this rocket. After the tip passed through the grid, the rear part was immediately blocked. At this moment, the grid armor was powerful.

Grid armor can block the ammunition attack of shaped charge warhead. What is the principle? Of course, there are cases of directly blocking and detonating warheads, but this is quite rare.

It can be calculated by probability. It will never exceed 10%.

Most Rockets will pass through the dense grid.

In later generations, the general shaped charge warhead uses piezoelectric fuzes, which are made of piezoelectric ceramic sheets, which is very sensitive and greatly reduces the possibility of dud than mechanical fuzes.

The grid armor is mainly used to prevent this kind of warhead. If it is directly hit, it must be triggered. If it is just stuck in the middle of the grid of grid armor, although the fuse will not be triggered, due to the impact, the wire will be short circuited with the shell and cannot detonate the rocket, and the probability is about 60%.

The saying that grid armor can only defend 60% in later generations also comes from here.

Although it can only prevent 60%, the rest, some hit the grid and detonate in advance, and some gaps of tens of millimeters between the grid and the vehicle body will reduce the power of the rocket, and then face the vehicle body armor, greatly reducing the possibility of breakdown.

The fuze of this era is still an ordinary mechanical fuze.

The principle of this fuze is very simple. The striking needle body is usually separated from the detonator by the isolation spring and fixed by a steel wire safety pin. The safety pin is pulled out before launching. When the rocket hits the target, the projectile body decelerates, the striking needle body compresses the isolation spring due to inertia, fires the detonator and detonates the main charge.

Yes, the basic principle of firing this kind of rocket is to slow down the body. When the warhead hits the tank, the body will slow down. Now, the body is stuck on the grid armor. Similarly, it will slow down!

At the moment when the bullet was jammed, its originally unpleasant speed decreased in an instant. Under this overload, the striking needle could not help but rush out under the action of inertia and hit the isolation spring in front. Then, the detonator was fired.

"Boom." With a light sound, the internal detonator detonated the main charge, and under the action of the shaped charge cover in front, the thin metal heat flow was ejected towards the front.

Normally, the front of it is the main armor, which immediately starts to attack the main armor, burning a hole in the armor like a laser.

But what's in front of it now?

It's air.

The grid armor is welded outside the tank. In order to play a good protective effect, the grid on the vehicle body has expanded about half a meter to the outside. Now, the metal jet from the rocket meets air forward. In this half meter air layer, it is cooling rapidly.

The metal jet finally contacted the main armor. The side armor of the car body was not thick, but it could not break through the rapidly cooling metal jet. It only left a small pit more than ten centimeters deep on the armor, which had exhausted its last strength.

It's blocked!

Under the direction of head of state Chirac, grid armor was used to block rockets of shaped charge warhead, and success was achieved!

The anti tank weapons carefully built by Americans fail in front of this layer of ordinary grid armor, not only for tanks, but also for infantry combat vehicles and that layer of weak armor.

"Move on, move on!" In the front tank, westhagen shouted, "let their anti tank men know our strength!"

Just as his voice fell, another rocket came, and then the fire spitting tank scorched him.

The rocket missed at all.

One, two, the whole tank formation rushed forward to 30 meters from the other side's forward position. On the way, it was attacked by more than 20 rockets. In this case, they were completely blocked without being broken down.

If it weren't for the shortage of troops, they really wanted to rush through the other side's defense line at one breath.

Now, their experiment has been successful.

The tank was in reverse gear and slowly retreated, leaving the Soviets and nicarians on the horrified position.

If you want to rely on bazuka to deal with German tanks, don't dream!

When the Soviets were full of hope, they would pour cold water on them. The combination of grid armor and flamethrower tanks perfectly protected the whole formation. This small attack brought too much shock to the Soviets.

When the experiment is successful, this experience will be popularized throughout the army.

Is bazuka good? It's just a fire stick.

"We need to postpone our attack for a few days until all tanks are modified according to grid armor." In the wolf's den, Shrek got the previous report.

From strategy to tactics, xierik almost dabbles in it. After all, his little idea will make his men take fewer detours. The simple grid armor will make bazuka ineffective.

At the same time, the front-line commander organized the Spitfire tanks, which was beyond his expectation. This has a better effect.

"However, our Rockets have just been installed. Now, if we hit the Soviet tanks with rockets, they will do the same." Said Kate.

Needless to say, your side has just lined up rocket launchers and will lose its effect.

"This is not necessarily. After all, as an individual cannon, the bazooka can not only be used to fight tanks, but also blockhouses and fire points. When the infantry have no time to summon tanks, the bazooka plays a great role." "Moreover, our bazookas are far more powerful than Americans," said Shrek
