Technology is constantly advancing, and its footsteps will never stop. If it does not follow the development, it will only be beaten by others because of backwardness. Nowadays, we can see more and more nearly magical military weapons active in the military field, but for so long, many people believe that the changes in tanks are minimal and there are few improvements.
Stealth performance in modern warfare is an element that many countries are optimistic about, but for a giant like a tank, this seems to be an unfulfillable wish. In fact, stealth tanks have long appeared in the international community, but this technology does not It is not widely used in various countries.
The world's first stealth tank was developed by Poland, named pl01. Even though Poland is a small country, it has a very solid military foundation and a keen military vision. It has long realized that the value of stealth is immeasurable in the modernization of information warfare. Once a weapon has this performance, It can perfectly avoid the enemy's radar tracking, and then achieve a magical effect, giving a fatal blow without the enemy's knowledge.
For this reason, Poland took the lead in opening the way to develop a stealth tank, but after this stealth tank came out, it seldom got the attention of others, especially after knowing its working principle, some experts shook their heads. What is the hidden reason?
In fact, Poland's way of designing stealth tanks is not too advanced. It is a copy of the stealth method of stealth fifth-generation aircraft. It uses some radar absorbing materials to achieve the effect of avoiding radar tracking. This method can reduce the noise produced by the tank, thereby reducing the risk factor of exposure to the enemy.
But one thing to note is that tanks are different from fighters. The combat radius and range of fighters are much higher than those of tanks. Nowadays, many modern tanks have a range that does not exceed three kilometers. This is a visible range for the naked eye and does not need to be relied upon. Radar tracking, so the operation of designing stealth performance for the tank is a bit tasteless. What's more, after the tank fires, it is difficult not to find its position. Nowadays, the on-board fire control equipment and optical equipment are quite developed. In fact, the so-called stealth tank cannot escape the enemy's eyes. So far, imitation of the stealth tank is completely unnecessary, because it will not have any effect on the battlefield.
In the view of various countries, instead of developing stealth tanks, it is better to focus on improving the mobility of tanks. If one day tanks can really launch missiles at long distances, it will not be too late to consider adding stealth performance to it. It can be seen that not every mainstream modern technology can be applied to any military weapon, and it is still necessary to prescribe the right medicine according to the characteristics of the weapon. The
stealth fighter is very powerful, and its stealth performance is also a highlight, but this factor is not practical when it comes to tanks. Everything is multifaceted. You can’t apply it just because it performs well in this area. In that respect, this is likely to outweigh the gains.
