Chapter 977: Iron Warrior
A 40mm grenade may not be as powerful as a regular grenade or grenade. But the advantage of the 40mm grenade is that it can be projected from a long distance, and it can carry out fire strikes and fire suppression in the open space between the grenade and the mortar.
The fire suppression ability of the automatic grenade launcher can be said to be very strong. Especially for some enemies hidden in trenches, fortifications, house bunkers, as well as lightly armored vehicles, it has a good lethality.
Even, our army has also found another way, innovated in the grenade launcher, a weapon that has appeared for decades, and successfully developed a sniper grenade launcher, which is also affectionately called a 'sniper gun' by military fans.
This 'sniper gun' retains the power of the original grenade while also incorporating high accuracy.
It is said that this sniper gun can accurately hit the machine gun eye of the enemy's bunker fortifications at a distance of hundreds of meters, and can be called a bunker killer.
Moreover, the development of the combat effectiveness of this sniper has not stopped, and it is said that this weapon is effective in precision sniper operations and counter-sniper operations.
It combines the two advantages of accuracy and power, and can be used as a sniper rifle, and can also be used as a squad platoon fire strike and suppression weapon to replace the 40 guns and 60 forced to be used by squad-level units.
Therefore, at present, this weapon has been widely equipped in the front-line troops of our army, and has successfully gone abroad and appeared in the troops of other countries.
Of course, the fire support equipment of the automatic grenade launcher is not without shortcomings, first of all, the weight is relatively medium and occupies a lot of staff.
In general, it needs to be used in a separate squad, or it can be mounted on a mobile vehicle and used as a vehicle-mounted weapon.
Secondly, the ammunition is large in size and heavy in weight, which cannot be carried in large quantities by individual soldiers, and the duration of firepower is limited.
And with heavy mechanical exoskeleton booster armor, none of this is a problem. The strong carrying ability can allow it to be equipped with hundreds of grenades, and such a continuous suppression of firepower will exert an overwhelming advantage in hand-to-hand combat.
Hundreds of grenades were fired, and the live-fire test of the No. 2 heavy mechanical exoskeleton-assisted armor was completed.
As for the simulated position 300 meters away, the simulated targets that had been erected had already become fragments scattered all over the place. Each fragment was covered with bullet holes, as well as some shrapnel.
However, compared to the shocking scene of the No. 1 heavy mechanical exoskeleton assisted armor test just now, everyone was much calmer this time.
However, calmness does not mean calm, on the contrary, many people suddenly have a sense of crisis in their hearts.
If in the future war, the enemy is such a soldier wrapped in steel and has such powerful firepower, then how can we defend against it?
Under the firepower here, if the traditional infantry is to deal with it, I am afraid that the fate will only be slaughtered.
Luckily, it's your own. With such a force all wrapped in steel, why not fear so many threats and so many provocations at the moment.
Of course, this is not to say that this heavy mechanical exoskeleton assisted armor is invincible, and there are many weapons and equipment to destroy it. For example, rocket launchers, anti-tank missiles, ground attack munitions, and ancillary weapons on armored fighting vehicles, such as tank guns, armored fighting vehicle guns, as well as 30mm cannons, and even heavy machine guns.
But its superior defensive capability is equivalent to providing a super defensive armor for the soldiers exposed on the field. This set of heavy mechanical exoskeleton-assisted armor can not only provide soldiers with full-body protection, but also can defend against common small arms and shrapnel attacks.
And with the exoskeleton booster system, the soldier can have far more mobility than humans, not only can they run faster and farther, but they can also jump higher and carry more weight.
In the past, a soldier carried a medium level of material intelligence to support him in a moderate battle, and several days of marching. And now with this heavy mechanical exoskeleton booster armor, soldiers can cope with a moderate or even heavy level of combat.
To put it bluntly, it is still people who decide the outcome of a war, and when the combat effectiveness of one side is brought into full play, then the balance of war will be tilted to this side.
If it can cooperate with armored vehicles and other branches of the armed forces to carry out combined operations, then its combat effectiveness will be improved, and even the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the troops can be increased by several steps.
While everyone was talking, live-fire testing of the No. 3 heavy mechanical exoskeleton-assisted armor had begun.
Different from the first two, the live-fire test of the No. 3 heavy mechanical exoskeleton assisted armor is mainly divided into three parts, first of all, the first part is bazooka shooting. The 120 heavy rocket launcher, because of its strong firepower, has always been the most equipped fire strike weapon for our army's squad and platoon troops.
However, the field test belonged to a 120 mm disposable heavy rocket launcher, and the rocket was loaded into the bazooka and was not exposed.
The aiming mechanism on the bazooka has been removed, and the launch mechanism has been modified to facilitate the use of the manipulator with heavy mechanical exoskeleton assisted armor.
So it looks like it's a bare army green bazooka, which looks very simple, and of course, the cost is reduced a lot.
In front of the No. 3 heavy mechanical exoskeleton booster armor, three modified 120 mm disposable heavy rocket launchers are placed.
The No. 3 heavy mechanical exoskeleton boosted the armor with the bazooka in its hand and raised it to its right shoulder, ready for all launches.
"The target, 400 meters away, simulates the enemy's three reinforced concrete permanent pillboxes, and requires that 120 mm heavy rocket launchers be used to destroy them to clear the obstacles for our army's assault."
"Understood!"
I saw the No. 3 heavy mechanical exoskeleton assist armor lift a 120mm disposable heavy rocket launcher, and after a short aiming, it was immediately launched!
Swish......
A rocket spewed flames and flew towards the simulated enemy's reinforced concrete permanent pillbox 400 meters away.
The distance of 400 meters is already the limit of this bazooka. If it is operated by a single soldier, even if there is an optical sight, it is basically impossible to hit the first shot.
Moreover, in ordinary training, such a distance is rarely hit, and in general training and combat, it is basically about one or two hundred meters.
Rumble!
I saw that the rocket that was fired actually hit the first bunker accurately, and in an instant, a huge explosion was mixed with broken stones and dust and white smoke, swallowing the bunker entirely.
"Good!"
The scene once again erupted in warm applause, especially the officers and soldiers of the military, as well as the old people sitting in the integrated command hall who were watching the live broadcast.
The so-called layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway, for them, no one knows the difficulty of this test better than them.
Being able to hit the first shot at a distance of 400 meters shows its excellent fire control performance.
