【紅隼反坦克導彈】臺灣自製穿甲力400毫米的「紅隼」反坦克導彈能抗衡現代戰車嗎？|第三代「紅隼」的穿甲力是否能有所突破，超越「標槍飛彈」？

Missiles are the key to Taiwan 's defense strategy. Taiwan has a considerable amount of missile inventory. It is estimated that this island has the largest number of weapons per unit area in the world. It is estimated that there are more than 7,700 missiles of various types , and it has become an "island full of missiles". These weapons include American-made and home-made series. In addition to the anti-aircraft missiles, which are of strategic importance to Taiwan's defense , the anti-tank missiles used at this stage include American-made Hellfire missiles, towed missiles, Javelin missiles, etc. Whether they are mounted on helicopters, armored vehicles, etc. Humvee mounts constitute one of Taiwan's current important anti-tank firepower. With the efforts of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the armor-piercing technology of anti-armor missiles is also constantly breaking through . Today, let's talk about the Taiwan Army's anti-tank weapon "Kestrel" anti-tank. The missile "Kestrel" anti-tank missile, also known as " Kestrel " rocket, is manufactured by the Zhongshan Academy of Sciences and provided to the Army to replace the new type of anti-tank weapon. It is planned to replace the more than 35 years of service. Since the first combat vehicles were put into war, countries around the world have actively developed anti-armor weapons and tactics . The armor of the combat vehicles in those days was not thick, so using field guns to shoot directly , large -caliber anti-tank rifles at close range , or throwing cluster grenades can all play a good countermeasure. Effect However , after entering the interwar period, the armor of the chariot continued to thicken. Until the outbreak of World War II, the frontal armor of the chariot had become so thick that large-caliber infantry machine guns could not penetrate, and cluster grenades could hardly cause damage , but the responsibility of anti-armor was also impossible . All fall on anti-tank guns or chariots. Therefore , it is urgent to develop new anti-armor weapons for the army. The anti-tank weapons equipped by the Taiwan Army are mainly self-produced Type 66, Swedish AT4 and shoulder-fired rocket launchers. However, these weapons are due to Due to the size and weight, it is not conducive to maneuvering operations . The larger launch tail flame is not only easy to be detected by the enemy , but also affects the safety of use in the street fighting environment. The light-weight national-made 66 rocket has exceeded its service life, which seriously affects the maneuvering of the Taiwan army on the beach. In order to effectively strengthen the army's anti-armor combat equipment and combat power, the Chinese Academy of Sciences has successfully completed key technological breakthroughs after two years of research and development testing and environmental testing , including aerodynamics, outer ballistics, cone effect and shooting sight system 2009 Year The prototype of the new anti-armor rocket was unveiled for the first time at the Taipei Aerospace Exhibition. The appearance of the rocket is similar to the American M72A4 rocket . Armor-piercing ability Can also cause damage to ordinary bunkers. The basic power is the same as M72A4 rocket. In design, it adopts disposable shooting like M72 AT4. Although the reloadable RPG-7 and SMAW can choose a variety of warheads , their weight and volume are larger than that of the discardable type, and they will also occupy the launching and reloading personnel in the army. The soldier serves as the launcher. The sights are modular in design. The sights are assembled according to the battlefield environment. The storage is vacuum-packed for long-term storage and transportation safety . It is completely different from the version exhibited in 2009. The Chinese Academy of Sciences has redesigned the shape of the disposable launch tube. The lower part of the launch tube is designed with a folding grip and a shoulder resting piece . The upper part of the launcher is equipped with a tactical rail . Detachable simple sight and night vision The rear end is equipped with a horn opening , which can control the fire red zone behind the barrel within 15 meters, and is made of reinforced plastic fiber. It has the characteristics of light weight, strong structure, easy operation, and light portability. The scope of improvement is large. The improved prototype of the anti-armor rocket claims It can be controlled within 5kg and does not affect the performance and operation of anti-armor rockets in harsh environments. Load the small handle at the front of the grip before launching, and then aim at the target and press the red safety button to shoot the "Kestrel" After 2011, the anti-armor rocket was produced in small quantities and provided to the Taiwan Army and the Marine Corps for evaluation. The Marine Corps' "Kestrel" anti-armor rocket was also tested in the joint exercise in early November 2013. 2013 Taipei Aerospace During the exhibition, in addition to the anti-armor rocket displayed in 2011, another type of optional ammunition was added. The Chinese Academy of Sciences called it the Tough Warhead and developed the project code-named "Kestrel", also known as the "Kestrel" Tough Rocket . According to the Chinese Academy of Sciences Series introduction video It has 400mm armor-piercing ability and the maximum range of all projectiles exceeds 1200 meters . It can penetrate 30 cm thick brick walls or 20 cm thick reinforced concrete. The surface damage diameter is 70-90 cm. It has an effective range of more than 400 meters. System performance Comparable to the existing anti-armor rockets, it can also be used for anti-terrorism and urban warfare. Let's take a look at the performance data of the " Kestrel " anti-armor rocket. The length of the launch tube is 75 cm and the weight is 5 kg. The caliber is 66 mm. Armor Operating Environment-40～60°C Rainy Day and Night Warhead Cone Charge Sights 5x Optical Sight With Night Vision Mount "Kestrel" Attack Rocket Total Weight 6.5kg Range 150m Penetration 30cm Brick Wall or 20cm reinforced concrete wall High-explosive armor-shattering "Kestrel" anti-armor rockets with high combat effectiveness Mainly equipped by the military police rapid response company, it can be called the most powerful weapon carried by a single soldier, and can use the characteristics of town buildings in the garrison area to perform anti-armor combat tasks . Carry out counter-assault, reverse osmosis and anti-airborne operations in the garrison area to implement urban defense operations in the garrison areaAugust 31, 2018 The Taiwan Provincial Military Police Instruction Department made a decision to purchase 445 sets of "Kestrel" anti-armor rockets with live ammunition with NT $49.79 million 278 practice rounds and 8 practice simulatorsApril 12, 2019 The military police signed an order of 50.92 million yuan for "Kestrel" rockets with the Chinese Academy of Sciences to purchase 445 "Kestrel" anti-armor rockets, 278 practice rounds and 8 practice rounds The imitator is attached to the Military Police 202 Command Department and the military police The Taiwan Provincial Military Police Instruction Department of the Quick Response Company certified in the Legislative Yuan that it purchased the first batch of 397 "Kestrel" anti-armor rockets, 238 practice bombs and 5 practice simulators, all of which were delivered continuously and placed in the 202 Command Department of the Rapid Response Company for implementation. The central combat readiness mission of Taipei City is not only used by the military police , but also the sea patrol units garrisoned on the East and Nansha Islands are also purchased and installed to strengthen the ability to resist the landing of the enemy . "Experiment , a drone mounts two "Kestrel" rockets to carry out live ammunition shooting with no - load weapons, and a total of 10 "Kestrel" rockets are tested before and after. However , officials emphasized that this test is only an experimental nature. In the future , the Tengyun UAV of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is a large, medium-altitude UAV, so it is impossible to mount the "Kestrel" rocket, a short-range anti-armor weapon. "Kestrel" rockets are mostly used on small rotary -wing UAVs. In Taiwan, where diplomacy is trapped and it is difficult to purchase military weapons, due to the poor foundation of heavy industry, there are great obstacles in shipbuilding and self-made fighter jets and combat vehicles. Few Western military experts believe that Taiwan 's ability to develop military weapons, especially missiles, should not be underestimated . The development of more than 40 years has also turned Taiwan into an "island full of missiles" , which has been woven with a layer of missiles for its own defense .
