In today's land battlefield, there seems to be no more difficult "bitter master" than tanks and armored vehicles. Because under the all-round suppression of hundreds of thousands of ubiquitous drones and cruise missiles, it has obviously reached the point where the car is not living. For example, in the heavy warfare that was still in fierce confrontation, the earliest was just a temporary welding of a steel bar shed on the top of the turret of the main battle tank, and later a temporary anti-theft window was welded around the tank, but after full actual combat, it was found to be basically useless. Because the javelin of the empowerment attack on the battlefield belongs to the powerful sinking; And more and more loitering missiles are also very powerful, and they can't withstand it at all with just a few steel bars. So two years later, many tanks that still exist on the battlefield have been completely tortoiseshelled, that is, from the roof to the body around, they are covered with complete steel plates without dead ends, which is equivalent to letting the main battle tank itself advance and retreat on top of a steel plate house, and the entire shielded house only exposes a small observation window in front of the field of vision.
And put another anti-tank plow in front of this viewing window! Do so. Even the basic function of the tank's 360-degree rotating turret aimed at destroying the enemy was voluntarily abandoned. The whole car could only fire in one fixed direction. Such clumsiness is equivalent to the fact that even the ancestors of tanks who appeared during the First World War are inferior. But such protection is basically effective against UAVs and cruise missiles. And all the so-called advanced main battle tanks that were not convinced before, whether American or German, have been blown up on the spot and the turrets are flying around. The question is if the main battle tanks of all the land powers in the world operate like this; Isn't it going back to before the First World War? However, the ironclad facts on the battlefield have proven that any traditional, fixed large and medium-sized air defense missiles, as well as Soviet-style divisional and brigade-level mobile accompanying air defense systems that were once considered quite advanced, are the targets of unilateral breakthroughs in the face of the sky-high number of unmanned aerial vehicles and cruise missiles. Even if it is to change the US Army, it will only turn out worse, not better.
The main reason is that the total amount of UAVs and cruise flights on the battlefield is too large, even if it is offset one-on-one with anti-aircraft missiles. As for interception with conventional anti-aircraft artillery, it is even more inefficient. Originally, it was thought that the army power could start high-power radio jamming facilities to completely block the operation signal of the UAV, causing it to fail in batches; Now it seems that in the era of more and more highly intelligent, this method is not easy to use. Because some cheap UAVs and cruise missiles do not need external remote control at any time, they can achieve automatic attacks. Even recently, a certain unit has developed an intelligent operating system for all-solar drone swarms similar to fireflies, which cannot be remotely interfered with in the optical band. This will make it more difficult to crack the UAV cluster operation in the future. Of course, a certain big country sees this in advance and knows how to take precautions. Since last year, the actual combat effect of the Silent Hunter laser anti-drone vehicle exported in batches by a large country has been amazing. You only need to deploy one or two, and you can,
Instantly clears all non-cooperative low, small, and slow targets within a 10 km radius. The only drawback is that it cannot be deployed in a concomitant manner. And the next step will be the introduction of a tracked all-terrain version of the pass. This is the prism tank of the new era. Most of the fantasy superweapons will come to life here!
