Chapter 509 XC-H1 Bazooka

Camel Mountain Base, a weapons test site converted from the former Meteor Commando station, Li Mo took Stone and others to participate in the experiment of organizing a new generation of weapons.

As the first weapon taken out after the return of the comet group, the expert group attaches great importance to it. Team leader Abick and deputy team leader He Ping not only came in person, but also a meteor team member will do the experiment in person.

Standing under a lush tree, Li Mo wore a pair of sunglasses and looked at the busy people in the middle of the field.

This test site, with a length of 500 meters and a width of no more than 50 meters, is mainly used for the experiment of light firearms and other weapons. At this moment, at the end of the southern test site in the north-south direction, a steel plate is erected. In addition, there is a steel plate at a distance.

"Boss, the weapon we took out this time is a powerful rocket launcher. We named this kind of rocket launcher XC-H1. Its design idea is not our original, but draws on the Swiss AT-484mm rocket launcher. The diameter of the XC-H1 rocket launcher is also 84mm, which adopts the firing principle without a back seat gun. The whole weapon is composed of a rocket launcher, an aluminum alloy nozzle, a firing mechanism, simple aiming equipment, etc. Among them, the launcher is made of glass fiber coated with synthetic resin around the aluminum alloy, which will greatly reduce the launcher. The weight makes it more suitable for ordinary soldiers. He Ping stood on Li Mo's side and introduced to Li Mo while pointing to the place where a group of people gathered in the north of the venue.

Li Mo's eyes have also been staring at the venue. He had previously felt strange that the rocket launcher held by the meteor team was much larger than the RPG-7 that the organization had been imitating, and he did not find a rocket similar to RPG. He knew that most of the RPG rockets were exposed in front of the rocket launcher, but the rocket launcher seemed to be more like an anti-tank missile launcher.

When Li Mo pointed out this question, He Ping explained with a smile, "Boss, XC-H1 is very different from ordinary rocket launchers; first of all, it is more powerful! Taking RPG-7 as an example, it can only attack simple bunker fortifications, and its main role is to destroy local personnel, while XC-H1 takes anti-armor as the main task. The armor-piercing shell we have developed so far - the hemispherical depleted uranium hollow loading armor-breaking bomb, can make its armor-breaking thickness reach 70. 0mm, which is almost comparable to the armor thickness of many anti-tank missiles. The second advantage is its logistical maintenance. This kind of rocket requires almost no maintenance from the soldiers, and without strict training, the soldiers can control it against a tank. The XC-H1 bazooka is a weapon used once. The ammunition is loaded in advance before distributing troops according to different purposes. As long as the soldiers are close to the target a few hundred meters away and aim and open fire, they can abandon the remaining launchers and continue to join the battle. Although XC-H1 is a weapon used once, it still has a great advantage over anti-tank missiles in terms of price ratio. According to our calculations, if we can produce more than 20,000 units, its unit price will not exceed $750.

"Is this a weapon that combines some of the advantages of RPG and anti-tank missiles?" Li Mo asked in surprise.

He Ping smiled and said, "In the words of the boss, it is a new weapon that combines the light weight and low price of RPG and the high accuracy of anti-tank missiles. The most important thing is the successful development of the hemispherical depleted uranium hollow armor-breaking bomb, which gives this weapon the real power. As far as I know, only the United States in the world is about to develop this kind of armor-breaking bomb.

"After listening to He Ping talking so much, I want to see this weapon immediately!" The stone beside him interrupted when he saw that the other side of the venue was almost ready.

Li Mo and He Ping looked at the preparation point at the same time. The meteor team member was really ready and waited for the order to be issued here.

He Ping immediately stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation. At this time, of course, he would not steal the boss's limelight. This order was naturally issued by the boss Li Mo.

"Start!" Li Mo did not refuse and shouted in a low voice.

As the semi-squatting meteor team pulled the trigger, everyone saw a warhead rushing out of the front of the rocket launcher. Although the speed of this warhead was not fast and similar to that of an ordinary rocket, everyone still found a difference, that is, behind the warhead, especially when launched, there was no There are a lot of tail flames, just like a low-speed shell rushing out.

"Ban!" The warhead is accurately concentrated in the center of a homogeneous steel plate with a thickness of 700mm at a speed of 300 meters per second. Some people near the steel plate even saw that while the steel plate was instantly broken through a hole, there was a beam of orange light flying out of the hole.

This is the principle of the armor-breaking shell, the metal jet. The metal jet is the energy of the concentrated explosive inside the ammunition that instantly acts on the metal cover in front of the explosive after the explosion. The high temperature and high pressure formed in an instant immediately melts and closes the metal cover, forming a high-temperature, high-speed and high-pressure metal jet; the speed of the metal jet can reach a speed of 10,000 meters per second, which can reach 110 The high temperature above 0 degrees, coupled with high pressure, can break through the ordinary tank armor in an instant, destroying the equipment in the car and killing the occupants. If the metal jet hits the tank ammunition in the tank, it can also cause a secondary effect and produce martyrdom.

"It worked!" The atmosphere of the scene was first, and then there was a shocking cheer.

"Good, very good!" Li Mo patted He Ping on the shoulder and praised with a smile. The birth of XC-H1 indicates that the organization's ability to counter-armor has been further improved. In Africa, except for the elite tank troops of a few countries, which will be equipped with advanced tanks or equipped with reactive armor, other tanks undoubtedly pose a great threat in front of such weapons.

In the periphery of Somalia, the tank units of Somaliland and Ethiopia are mainly T-54/55, and the tank units in Kenya are mainly British Sunchuren MK3. They are all second-generation tanks around the 1950s at the end of World War II. If used well, XC-H1 can play an extraordinary role. Function.

"I think this weapon is also a very good export product!" The expert's idea was naturally different from others. When he said it, everyone was obviously stunned for a while.

At the beginning, I saw this powerful weapon. Everyone had no thought of selling it. The first time, they kept it for their own use. Now the experts proposed to export it, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Don't look at me either. I'm telling the truth. For example, XC-H1 has no technical requirements except for armor-breaking bullets, and others can easily imitate them. In this way, the export of this weapon will not be ideal. It is this new type of armor-breaking bomb that has increased its value, which is very in line with the procurement of countries where most of Africa's heavy armored forces are not strong. We are engaged in arms sales. We can't hide it because of its power, but to publicize it more openly to let everyone know that this weapon is right to bring more benefits to our organization!" The expert smiled and explained.

Li Mo was slightly moved and said, "Yes, what the expert said is reasonable. No matter how good the weapon is, it is just a tool to bring benefits to the organization. Moreover, I don't think this weapon is the ultimate weapon that can determine the outcome of the war. There is no need to hide it. Don't other countries also export their own weapons? That is, on the basis of the surname of the national weapon, it will be weakened, and then sold, the threat will be much smaller. Compared with the benefits brought by the export of arms, these threats can be ignored. Of course, we should also be clear that this exit also depends on the object. Didn't ancient China say that there was a close friendship and a close attack? Although we don't take the initiative to fight, we can't sell this threatening weapon to neighboring forces. Last time, I think Chang'an Boyin, the deputy chief of staff officer of Angola, is a good partner. You Ministry of Trade can try to contact him after the weapons are verified to see if cooperation can be reached.

"Boss, don't worry. I will coordinate this matter with the expert group, the production department and the Somali military later!" When the mouse heard the boss mention himself, he immediately made a statement. Since He Ping put forward that opinion last time, all departments know that they should communicate and coordinate with each other in order to complete the task faster and more conveniently.

After that, the meteor team member made XC-H1 and accurately hit the target of 200M, 300M to the longest effective range of 450M. However, according to the experiment at the scene, the last target at a distance of 450 meters hit a little reluctantly. If the meteor team member was not in control, this The probability of hitting will be very low. This is in line with He Ping's introduction. The effective range of the XC-H1 rocket launcher is 400 meters.

"Mom, does Yanran really have it?" As soon as Li Mo got home, he heard a news that surprised and happy him, but he was afraid that the news was not true, so he rushed to Fang Yuxiang and asked again.

"You seem a little unhappy to see you?" Li Zhendong, the father-in-law sitting on the sofa in the living room, snorted and squinted his son-in-law for a long time. He didn't know if it was because his son-in-law only cared about his wife as soon as he came back and didn't say hello to his father-in-law.

Although Li Mo felt that he was more wronged than Dou E, the other party was his father-in-law, and he was also an elder who was a little dissatisfied with his son-in-law. No matter how much Li Mo was, he didn't dare to 'shake his power' here. He hurried over and took out a cigarette to help Li Zhendong click on it. He said with a drooling smile, "Dad, how can I be unhappy? But I'm so happy!"

Li Zhendong hummed in his nose, but he smoked this kind of special cigarette happily. He knew that it was given by his son-in-law's return to China last time. He has made a lot of things before. The main purpose of this time is to send my daughter back, and there is also the idea of 'take' some cigarettes back to Mogadishu.

"Xiao Mo, this kind of cigarette is good. It is said that smoking this kind of smoke is very harmful to people's health!" Li Zhendong took a few mouthfuls before he said casually.

Who is Li Mo? As soon as he heard his father-in-law's words, he knew that he would have been in pain for a few more days. But he still pretended not to care and said, "Dad, Yanran is pregnant now, and I smoke less at home. You can take a few of them later!" But in his heart, he made up his mind to go to Mogadishu in a few days to tell Lei Zhen about this matter and let him get a few from China, preferably a few boxes!
