Chapter 4195 Molotov Cocktail

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Popular Front of Western Sahara is quite poorly armed. They don¡¯t even have infantry anti-tank missiles, and some only have this kind of rocket launcher.

    This type of rocket-propelled grenade is very old and can be traced back to the panzerfaust iron fist used by the German army in World War II. The Soviet Union designed a series of grenade launchers based on panzerfaust.

    The most successful one is the RPG-7, which began serving in the Red Army in 1961.  Since then, the armies of more than 40 countries in the world have been equipped with RPG-7, and even Algeria, Bulgaria, China, Estonia, Malta, Iran, Iraq, Myanmar, Romania, Sri Lanka and Pakistan have copied it.

    Without an optical sight, the target distance cannot be measured, and the impact of target speed and wind on the ballistic trajectory cannot be corrected.  The Popular Front of Western Sahara is equipped with the most popular shoulder-mounted muzzle-loading anti-tank and anti-personnel recoilless rocket launchers.

    "Old is still old, but in actual use, it can still cause fatal damage to tanks.  This is actually not contradictory at all, any weapon has its role.  Bows and arrows are primitive enough, but they can also kill people.  The premise is that you find an opportunity to shoot someone.

    The sausage has been prepared for so long just to wait for this opportunity.  He was forced through the collapse of two buildings.  The march of enemy tanks was blocked. On a street with buildings on both sides, the stopped tanks did not have much power.

    First of all, the muzzle of a tank is at an elevation angle, and their muzzle cannot be raised too low or too high.  In this narrow area, the Sahrawi Popular Front's troops are on high ground.  They can calmly stick their heads out of the window and shoot down.

    But the tank below couldn't raise its muzzle to shoot them.  Because their tank muzzles cannot be raised to that height.  Anti-aircraft machine guns mounted on tanks can only be used to counterattack.

    But the problem is that the reinforced concrete buildings on both sides provide excellent bunkers for the defenders.  Moreover, although anti-aircraft machine guns have the advantage of suppression, it is difficult to accurately capture a target.

    Soldiers from the Popular Front of Western Sahara approached the window with a rocket launcher, fired one round and ran away.  If you miss, reload, reload and try again.  As long as it hits, the tank below will be useless.

    Among all anti-tank equipment, apart from anti-tank mines, this anti-tank rocket launcher is the cheapest.  A rocket worth tens of dollars can destroy a multi-million-dollar armor, and the price-performance ratio is staggering.

    In this kind of terrain, the infantry following the tanks appear to be more useful than the tanks.  They relied on the tanks to set up machine guns and fired at the windows upstairs. They were able to suppress the offensive of the Western Sahara soldiers.

    From time to time, Western Saharan soldiers were hit by machine guns and fell from the window.  But then, the situation changed.  Several Moroccan machine gunners were shot inexplicably, and an infantryman exclaimed, "Sniper!"

    A combat group of Western Sahara soldiers was originally divided into tank personnel and soldier personnel.  Those who attack tanks are mainly rocket launchers, and those who attack soldiers are mainly soldiers with better marksmanship.  These soldiers are not professional snipers, nor are they equipped with sniper rifles, but they are equipped with rifles with scopes and relatively high accuracy.

    Some simply hold an AK47 equipped with a scope and use single-shot bursts to attack the Moroccan soldiers below.

    This is not over yet, Molotov cocktails were suddenly dropped from several high-rise buildings.  These Molotov cocktails were filled with gasoline and had burning strips of cloth plugged into the mouths of the bottles.  It explodes when it hits the ground, sprays gasoline everywhere, and ignites when it encounters fire.

    The tanks were better, but the soldiers were about to die.  The gasoline bottle fell to the ground, and the gasoline inside was everywhere. How could a flesh and blood body withstand the burning gasoline?

    What¡¯s even worse is that this kind of incendiary bomb can cause panic.  In the ruins, there are unknown bullets everywhere.  At this time, a wave of Molotov cocktails suddenly came, and the comrades around him turned into a ball of flames in an instant. Who could not panic?

    The most important thing in fighting is the spirit.  Everyone can shout the slogan of not being afraid of sacrifice and charging forward bravely.  But not many can really do it, so what the troops fear most is panic.

    Because emotions are contagious, especially when there are many people.  Soldiers feel inspired when they are in an environment of uplifting public sentiment.  Being in a panic environment, soldiers can't help but panic.  it `s just normal.

    So this round of Molotov cocktail attacks became the last straw for these Moroccan soldiers.  The soldiers couldn't help but run away.  A tank full of gasoline isn't much better.

    Of course, Molotov cocktail anti-tank is basically nonsense.  In many movies and TV shows, Molotov cocktails are thrown onto tanks, and the tanks immediately burst into flames or even exploded.  This situation is actually impossible.

    Because the main structure of the tank is steel, and steel is not wood, it does notNonflammable.  When a bottle of gasoline is thrown on steel, it seems to burn spectacularly. In fact, the fire will burn out in a short time.

    Once the fire is out, the tank will be fine. At most, it will leave a black scorch mark.  The armor of the tank is very thick, and it is impossible for this little flame and such a short time to burn it.  The only way to burn the tank down is to throw a Molotov cocktail at the heat dissipation window of the tank engine.  Below the window is the engine.

    After the engine is burned by a fire, precision components may be damaged, the lubricating oil may be ignited, and the tank may lose power.

    But in fact, the probability of this is very low.  In fact, the most effective time for incendiary bottles to cause damage to tanks was World War II, because the tank structure at that time was not rigorous, and there were air strikes between tank parts. The incendiary bottles contained liquid fuel. If they were hit on the tank, the liquid fuel would fall from the tank.  flows into these gaps.

    ??And the Molotov cocktails are usually thrown towards the engine compartment cover of the tank. The liquid fuel may burn out the engine inside the tank. In this way, they will cause decisive damage to the tank.  Molotov cocktails are almost useless against modern tanks, except to set fire to them.

    This is no longer the period of World War II. To be honest, this bottle of Molotov cocktail can no longer burn a tank.

    But the biggest advantage of these Molotov cocktails arranged by Lin Rui is to suppress the machine gunners on the tanks.  Because if the anti-aircraft machine gun on the tank wants to shoot, the tank yard must stick its head out from the turret to control the machine gun.

    Once the tank is on fire, it will be impossible for the members inside the tank to stick their heads out and control the machine gun.  Gasoline flowed across the top of the tank armor and burned to pieces. Do you still want to risk opening the top of the armor to control the machine gun?

    Not to mention whether doing this will turn you into a barbecue, you must at least prevent the flowing gasoline from flowing into the cabin and lighten the cockpit, right?  Therefore, the tank's anti-aircraft machine gun was suppressed by Molotov cocktails.
