China has developed a new generation of tungsten fiber composite armor piercing projectiles. At present, the world's major countries use tungsten and depleted uranium alloys as armor-piercing projectile core materials. The density of these two metals is about three times that of high-strength steel. At the same time, the hardness of these two metal alloys is very high, so it is very suitable for doing. Armor-piercing projectile core, however, under normal circumstances, the penetrating ability of the depleted uranium alloy core is about 10% higher than that of the tungsten alloy core in the same situation. The United States, the United Kingdom and other countries have selected the depleted uranium alloy as the armor-piercing material of the modern tank. Even the depleted uranium material is merged into the main armor of the tank, made into depleted uranium armor, the depleted uranium material is stuffed into the bushing in the tank's conventional steel deck, and then welded and sealed. This armor has a good protective function.
Although the depleted uranium bomb is not a nuclear weapon, the power of such a conventional weapon is enormous. This depleted uranium bomb can effectively destroy the Soviet T-72 tank at a distance of 3,000 meters. Nearly 3,000 Iraqi tanks were destroyed by depleted uranium weapons during the Gulf War. The US military equipped with depleted uranium armored tanks was attacked by Iraqi tanks at a distance of 300 meters and was not destroyed. In addition, the depleted uranium alloy has the burning characteristics after piercing, can effectively increase the aftereffect of armor piercing and armor, can also be used as a burning agent for aerial artillery shells or shells, and becomes an armor-piercing projectile without other burning agents.
The armor-piercing effect, the subsequent killing effect and the machinability of the depleted uranium bombs all performed better. Overall, there is little difference with the tungsten alloy bombs, or there is a possibility of making up. But the economics of the two are far from each other. Tungsten is a scarce resource and the material is expensive. While depleted uranium is “waste utilization”, coupled with the cost difference in processing, the economic advantage of depleted uranium is even more pronounced.
It stands to reason that such a good weapon will certainly not be missed by our country, but why is it that only China does not equip poor uranium armor-piercing projectiles in several major powers? According to military experts, depleted uranium is a highly toxic radioactive substance that is both radioactive and chemically toxic.
Depleted uranium can cause DNA mutations in human cells without causing cell death, so its role is long-term. After the Gulf War and the Kosovo War, some soldiers in the US military experienced symptoms such as headache, hair loss, mental paralysis, insomnia, irritability, long-term fatigue, muscle pain, memory deterioration, and dizziness. They were called "Gulf War Syndrome" and "Balkan". Syndrome". European soldiers who have carried out peacekeeping missions in the Balkans have found that more than 50 people have cancer or leukemia, and at least 18 have died, most of whom have been exposed to depleted uranium weapons to varying degrees.
The late pollution of depleted uranium weapons is very terrible. The bad thing about depleted uranium weapons lies in its huge concealment. Although the depleted uranium bombs do not have the huge lethality of atomic bombs, the creatures will not feel their radioactivity in a short time, but its harm is In the long run, this long-term impact is not in the United States, because the US military operations are overseas, and the US military’s launch and legacy of depleted uranium ammunition are in other countries. The US military can certainly use it with confidence, and China’s defensive defense strategy cannot equip this. More importantly, China’s development of a new generation of tungsten-fiber composite armor-piercing projectiles is already comparable to depleted uranium weapons.
