Chinese Army consists of multiple troops, among which chemical defense is a special one, which carries many tasks. In addition to nuclear, biochemical reconnaissance, chemical defense disinfection, and cleaning operations, in combat operations, chemical defense squads are also incorporated into combat units as reinforcement units, which is different from most.
In the past, the main equipment of our military's chemical defense squad was flamethrower, but with the advancement of technology, flamethrower is gradually being phased out. One of the main equipment now is FHJ84 type 62MM single-soldier rocket, and another name is: FHJ01 type 62mm chemical defense individual rocket. It directly adopts the design scheme of the 70 type 62mm single-soldier bazooka, which is actually a product that imitates the design concept of the American M72 type 66mm bazooka. Therefore, the development work was very fast. It began to develop in 1983, and was finalized in 1985. It has been installed for 30 years.
Its diameter is 62 mm, and it is a double-tube structure, that is, the upper and lower double-tube structure. This is very unique and is almost unique in the world. The structure is very simple, with only a few parts such as the front cylinder, the rear cylinder, the firing machine, etc., including 2 live ammunitions. The entire system weighs only 8 kilograms and the total length is only 1 meter 2, which is easy to carry.
launch rear cylinder also serves as the transportation/packaging cylinder for rocket . It is also simple to load and can only be installed behind the front cylinder of the launch. During launch, the shooter pulls the electric shock device and the rocket engine can ignite and fly out. It is equipped with a scope with a magnification of 2.5 times, which can ensure a maximum effective range of 500 meters.
If you only look at the appearance, people will think it is an anti-tank weapon. In fact, for chemical defense equipment, it is equipped with anti- tank ammunition, and the effect is not good. It cannot wear armor of advanced tanks such as M1. However, it has its own unique skills and can make the opponent anxious because it belongs to attack and antagonist equipment, especially positional warfare or street warfare, which is mainly due to the ammunition it is equipped with: incendiary bombs and smoke bombs.
When it fires a burning bomb, it can replace the flamethrower, and the shooting accuracy is very good and the range is far beyond the flamethrower. The combustion rocket uses the new combustion agent , and the combustion temperature is as high as thousands of degrees. Such a high combustion temperature can ignite flammable materials and is extremely threatening and destructive to personnel. When firing smoke bombs, another task of chemical defense soldiers can be completed: creating smoke obstacles, blinding the enemy's sight, and covering the action. It is not only effective for optical reconnaissance, but also can block and interfere with the COSCO infrared light and laser. It can block visible light for several minutes in time and interfere with the COSCO INR light and laser for tens of seconds.
plus the air bomb and anti-tank ammunition installed later. The former increases the power of killer personnel, while the latter improves the ability to strike armored targets. In this way, it is enough for the opponent to be unable to defend his position at all. It can not only set smoke, cover operations, but also dismantle fortifications and kill people. In recent years, new types of attack ammunition have been launched, which can effectively kill people and equipment hiding in solid buildings or fortifications, and has extremely high accuracy.
is very light in weight and easy to use, and is very suitable for infantry detachment combat use. It is not only equipped with chemical defense troops, but also popular with special forces. As long as you select different ammunition, you can complete different tasks. Then, by developing new ammunition for different purposes, it can expand its uses and improve its performance, so that a piece of equipment can play a variety of different roles and be a weapon with extremely Chinese characteristics. But it is relatively unfamous. It was only after many years of equipment, and it was exposed publicly, and there was no record of export. It was even publicly released at the International Defense Exhibition.
