takes stock of the incredibly crazy weapons of the Soviet Union!
As a superpower, the Soviet Union's ideas in mechanical thinking are undoubtedly unparalleled. From winged fortresses to screw-propelled trucks and even flying saucers, these undoubtedly show how crazy and "outrageous" the Soviets' ideas were.
Today we will take stock of some of the "crazy" weapons that the superpower Soviet Union once produced.
first model: 2B1 oka
The Soviet idea of bigger is better is fully reflected in this weapon.
In 1957, the Cold War began to heat up. During this period, the United States launched one of their Atomic Annie mortars. This mortar can fire huge 280 mm shells, which also makes it a mortar that can fire small nuclear bombs.
The United States has taken action, and of course the Soviet Union is not far behind. In response to the American Atomic Anne mortar, the Soviet military developed two types of self-propelled artillery , and the 2B1oka was one of them. The barrel of the
2B1oka is almost twenty meters long. In comparison, the barrel length of the Sherman tank is only a pitiful less than six meters. When the two are put together, they are like a giant standing with a child. General.
Under this amazing size, oka can fire 420mm artillery shells weighing 748 kilograms, and the effective range can reach a distance of 45 kilometers.
Although the power of oka is terrifying, its shortcomings are also very obvious.
Because the shells it needs to load are too heavy and large, it takes too long to load the shells into the artillery , and the process is also very cumbersome.
has such a cumbersome loading process, which means that the oka artillery needs to fire a shell every five minutes. Not only that, the recoil generated when it fires cannonballs is also very terrifying. Every time a cannonball is fired, the steel chassis used to support the oka will be damaged.
In 1960, the Soviet Union decided to stop the production of oka and focus on the research of missile .
Although this artillery has never been used on the battlefield, I believe that as long as it is pushed out, even if it does nothing, it can still cause unlimited panic to the enemy.
second model: 1k17 laser tank .
In movies, we can often see the emergence of various laser weapons . Many people think that this is also the trend of future weapon development.
But who would have thought that the Soviet Union had already built a laser tank in 1970?
In 1970, the 1k17 laser tank was born in the Soviet Union. This tank is equipped with 13 lasers , which use synthetic rubies to focus a powerful light source and then emit intense lasers in pulses. The laser emitted by
1k17 can easily destroy the sensors on enemy vehicles and missiles, making the missile unable to lock on to the target and becoming a display.
missiles hit by it will damage the sensor, and infantrymen will be blinded immediately if they are illuminated by its laser.
Unfortunately, this laser weapon could not finally achieve mass production. In addition to violating the Geneva Agreement on Blinding Laser Weapons, the ruby that this tank needs to carry cannot meet the conditions for mass production.
I would like to ask here, if one of these two tanks can eventually be mass-produced and put into battlefield, which one will you choose? The third appearance of
is the Soviet zveno project.
More than ten years after the end of World War I, the Soviet Union realized that the sky would become the main battlefield in future wars.
Therefore, the Soviet Union began to lay out future air combat weapons, and an aircraft capable of carrying multiple fighters was born.
From the picture, we can see that this aircraft is not equipped with various weapons and ammunition, but five small fighter jets.
When the plane takes off, these small fighters can be connected to the large aircraft through some special connection devices. After the connection, this "bomber" can carry them to fight farther away.
In addition to these, it can also refuel these small aircraft in the air. A "bomber" can carry up to five small fighter jets, and a fighter jet can carry up to 454kg of bombs.
You may think that the design of this project is too funny and cannot be put into the battlefield. However, this kind of aircraft was still used very successfully in the early days of and during World War II.
With the development of aircraft technology during World War II, it was immediately eliminated by the Soviet Union and replaced by more advanced fighter jets.
Speaking of this, you may think that the Soviets’ ideas are not too exaggerated, but the weapon unveiled next will definitely refresh your understanding.
Antonov-40
Have you ever seen a tank with wings? This tank with wings was designed by the Soviet Union about eighty years ago. The purpose of the design was that the Soviets wanted the tank to glide directly into the battlefield.
At first, the Soviets wanted to load tanks into bombers, and wanted the bombers to fly to the battlefield with the tanks. Later, the Soviets went one step further and simply installed gliding wings and a gliding tail directly on the tank.
The tank equipped with "wings" is led by a bomber. When approaching the battlefield, the bomber disconnects from the aircraft, so that the tank can fly into the battlefield by gliding. When
falls to the ground, the "wings" on the tank will separate from the tank, and finally it can carry out regular combat like a conventional tank.
I would like to ask, if this design is finally put into actual combat, what will the driver in the tank feel like?
