Today let's learn about the history of Sheridan missiles. What is that guy doing? Why hit someone? What are you guys doing? Stop whipping the corpse. Now begin to officially tell the history of the Sheridan missile.
Spurred on by the artillery-launched missile program, the US military developed the Sheridan missile. At that time, the American army felt helpless in the face of a heavily defended tank with a speed of more than 50 km / h. Under the influence of missile omnipotence, the US military wants to have a light tank that can steal guns from the side and rear. Therefore, they tendered from major manufacturers, hoping to replace the Bulldog tank. In the end, Cadillac won the bid for the project. At the same time, there was a Leopard II prototype that was also equipped with artillery-launched missiles. But the project was eventually canceled due to being too advanced and relations between countries. In this case, the Sheridan missile came into being. The Sheridan tank weighs only 19 tons, which is lighter than the Bulldog tank. Because it needed to meet the requirements of the airborne, it reached a thrust-to-weight ratio of 19, which made the Centurion tank very desperate (the Chimera tank was designed on the basis of the Centurion tank). The Sheridan tank was faster than the Centurion tank. It can also travel in water, but the top speed is only 5.8 km / h.
The Sheridan missile is equipped with a 152 mm artillery-launched missile with a maximum range of 3 km (the initial speed of the missile is 200 m / s, I love you so much). The Sheridan missile debuted in the Vietnam War, but the U.S. military, out of secrecy, only showed the Sheridan tank without the missile. As soon as the Sheridan tank arrived in Vietnam, it was welcomed by the soldiers because it was very comfortable and passable. However, when facing the Vietnamese army and mines on the battlefield in Vietnam, the Sheridan tank is a little weak (because the body material of the Sheridan tank is the same as the egg tank, so you know when you encounter mines).
Welcome everyone to join our crew. If the data is good next time, we can make a prototype of Pop Two, remember to like, follow and retweet.
