Steel Soviet Union

When it comes to turning waste into treasure, sometimes it’s not just about a single object.

As long as possible, anything can be turned into treasure, and even the excrement can be used as fertilizer.

Since the original set of experimental launchers simply doesn't work, then we simply don't need them. We have to completely redo the loading and deployment of launch modes and the entire design, and start from scratch and think of other solutions.

Generally speaking, this is a long process, requiring a lot of time to repeatedly design, demonstrate, and test repeatedly.

As for all the Germans, what they lack most is time.

Forced by the huge pressure of reality, the Germans quickly focused on the tank bodies and chassis recovered from the front lines and piled in rear factories or large repair shops, waiting for repair or recycling. superior.

In terms of carrying capacity, these tank-level chassis can easily carry such large missiles after removing the turret. After all, no matter how heavy this thing is, it will not be heavier than a tank turret made of solid homogeneous steel.

In terms of deployment methods, mobile deployment mounted on a tank chassis is many times more powerful than fixed launch site deployment.

The small anti-tank missiles used by infantry have been successfully tested and put into mass production. The Germans who have begun to field troops in small batches have reason to think so. Anti-tank missile operation and sighting devices that can be miniaturized to the infantry level can be integrated and loaded onto tank chassis that are larger in size and have greater carrying capacity than flesh and blood.

It can also appropriately enlarge the size and increase the weight of the equipment in exchange for better performance and enhanced combat effectiveness.

Theoretically everything is tenable and can be established, then all that is left is the hands-on operation of converting the theory into actual products.

Because the missile and vehicle body chassis are all ready-made, the newly added vehicle-mounted operation and sighting devices also have reliable technical support. They only need to be modified and appropriately upgraded based on the infantry version.

Therefore, the entire transformation and integration process was unprecedentedly fast, and the Germans also experienced the joy that the Soviets often experienced in the past: the joy of integrating design with a large number of existing shelf products and mature technologies, the joy of lightning speed and reliability.

However, this happiness seemed to be discovered a little too late and arrived a little too late for the Germans.

The truly manufactured "Pop 6 Tiger Missile Tank Destroyer" and "Pop 4 Missile Tank Destroyer" are reliable enough, even though they are modified using a large number of different batches and models of body chassis recovered from the battlefield. Well, if you put these finally modified cars together in a row, it is almost difficult to find two cars that have exactly the same appearance and details.

But there is no doubt that this thing is effective, and it is indeed very effective in the field of anti-tank for which it was designed.

To what extent is it effective?

In one shot, a captured IS6 heavy tank that could not be repaired and used due to missing parts and that the Germans "reluctantly gave up" and "reluctantly gave up" was blown to pieces.

Yes, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a real mess.

Not only was the vehicle immobilized, but all usable parts were removed. The scrapped IS6s used as backup parts for those still usable German IS6s were blown apart, and the turret was directly removed from the body and chassis. The upper lift flew down.

Moreover, everything that can be removed from the chassis of the vehicle was removed, including but not limited to the tracks, road wheels, and even the suspension rods connected to the vehicle.

After a loud explosion that burst into flames, the already scrapped IS6 was left with only a broken body and chassis that had been restored to factory settings. It was burning like a dark coffin.

The overjoyed German seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. This thing could actually destroy the troublesome IS6 from the front with one shot! It is also a new precision strike weapon with a longer range and tracking guidance. This is simply God trying to save Germany!

What happened next is what happened to Malashenko.

The Germans, who were counting on this kind of "decisive weapon" and "black technology weapon" to make a comeback from adversity, couldn't wait to put these magically modified vehicles that had just been transformed into the battlefield and sent them directly to the area that needed firefighting the most and was in the most critical situation. On the high ground of Luo.

Together with a large number of reinforcements drawn from the city of Berlin, they were mixed into a relatively tough Tianlingai army to create the mace of Malashenko's leader division.

But reality is always independent of people's subjective willpower. It is unrealistic to expect one or two new pieces of equipment to change the war situation and compare the situation between ourselves and the enemy.

The only role these projectile vehicles, which were promoted by the Nazi propaganda machine as "Russian-destroying artifacts", on the Zero Highlands was to annoy Malashenko, and then carried out a more complete and devastating blow. The end came.

Most of them were raised by the leading division, and a few were abandoned or captured after being paralyzed.

This is what Ke Jin saw before his eyes.

After listening to Malashenko's narration just now, and understanding all the details Malashenko relayed and learned from the prisoners of war, Kogin basically had a rough judgment in his mind and then spoke to Malashenko. asked.

"You just said that this thing can destroy IS6 with one shot? Directly from the front?"

Looking at Kogin's expression of disbelief and seeking a sure answer, Malashenko smiled lightly without any extra emotion after hearing this, but the words that came out of his mouth next were terrifying to death.

"In fact, it's not just the IS6, this thing can even destroy the IS7 with one shot from the front, and it's also a mass-produced version of the composite armored IS7."

"I saw with my own eyes on the battlefield how this thing flew towards IS7, how it turned my strongest and most valuable main battle technical equipment into a pile of scrap metal. Amidst the huge explosion and raging fire, it only took one strike."

"There was no need to recover and repair the IS7 or rescue the crew members, because with just one blow the IS7 was blown to pieces and its head moved away. You would never imagine that I saw with my own eyes how huge the IS7 was, upside down in the car. I was so shocked when the turtle shell turret on the body was lifted directly from the chassis and flew into the sky. This was destroyed from the front, it was crazy!”

""

I didn't expect Malashenko's answer to be like this. Kogin also fell into the same "shocked my mother for a whole year" expression as Malashenko.

Although the IS7 project was not designed by Kojing, Kojing, who participated in the entire design process and constantly gave suggestions, knew how powerful and epoch-making a "super heavy tank" this thing was. It is no exaggeration to say that this is actually very close to the "ultimate perfect tank" in Kojing's mind based on current technology and design concepts.

You can hardly imagine how to design a heavy tank more powerful than the IS7 with current technology. It is even more unimaginable that such a powerful super heavy tank, especially one known for its terrifying protective power, must have such a terrifying attack to kill it with one blow from its strongest protective frontal main armor belt and explode it on the spot.

Of course, Malashenko could guess the reason for Kogin's expression of horror and shock. He also knew that there was only one reason why this kind of unsophisticated anti-tank weapon could kill IS7 head-on.

"Guess how much charge the warhead of this thing has. I bet you can't guess it right."
