Well, friends, let's talk about a hardcore topic today - anti-tank missiles. Don't be in a hurry to yawn, I promise to make this professional topic interesting for military fans to understand!
First of all, we have to go back to the era of iron cavalry and artillery fire. Our own "Red Arrow" series of anti-tank missiles in the Chinese were toddlers at that time. Imagine a small "Red Arrow 73" shooting out in front of the heavy armor, and it may not realize that it will become the ancestor of a large family.
"Red Arrow 73", to put it bluntly, is a large bazooka. Although it looks like an antique from a museum now, its adorable 1.8km range and 80mm armor-piercing ability will definitely scare the opponent on the battlefield. But don't underestimate it, just like you can't underestimate all the older generations, without it, there will be no excitement in the future.
Time flies, and the "Red Arrow" family continues to grow. Every time a new model is launched, it is like telling the world: "Look, I'm evolving again!" until the "Red Arrow 20" debuts, which is simply the brightest star in the family portrait. Compared with the ability of its ancestor Type 73, the technical level of the "Red Arrow 20" can be said to be so high that I don't know where it is - 4 kilometers of range and 700 mm armor-piercing ability! This is really telling the enemy tank: "You are already OUT!"
Of course, when introducing these hardcore things, I will also seriously report you a few statistics: such as how many kilograms a certain type of missile weighs, how heavy the warhead is, how far it can hit, and so on. But don't worry, I'm not going to drown you in a sea of numbers – we're here to have fun today, after all.
When it comes to fun, comparative analysis can be said to be the most of them. Imagine that "Red Arrow 7" stands in front of the mirror and compares muscles: "Brother was very good decades ago. Then "Red Arrow 10" passed by: "Okay old man, brainstorming is popular these days." "Each model competes with each other and complains about each other - this picture is too beautiful for me to see!
As for the future prospects, this is for those who like to guess riddles. It is said that the "Red Arrow 11" and "Red Arrow 12" are already ready to move! How will they rewrite the anti-tank battlefield? Stay tuned for my next round of revelations!
So, at the end of this enjoyable journey, let me tell you secretly: I'm not very familiar with the history of anti-tank missiles (shh!), but after researching the information and studying Xi carefully, I can at least talk to you and remain rational and objective.
To sum up today's dry goods: China has developed from a country that relies on fighting with bayonets and courage to a role worthy of attention in the field of modern military science and technology, and the "Red Arrow" series of anti-tank missiles has witnessed such a great change.
Okay, that's all for today! I hope you can also feel the wisdom and sweat hidden behind those steel behemoths after listening to my nagging. See you next time!
