Tungsten Alloy Armour-piercing Projectile is too Strong, Germany's New Combat Vehicle has Won a $5 Billion Order

According to Sohu Military Report: Recently, the Australian Army Ground 400 procurement plan finally decided on the model yesterday. The Australian Army officially announced the final winning model on the 14th, which is the boxer CRV heavy infantry combat vehicle of Rhine Metal Company of Germany. The win also enabled German Rhine Metal Company to obtain super orders of up to $5 billion.

As a new generation of chariots, boxer CRV heavy infantry chariot has quite a lot of bright spots. It is not only powerful in firepower, but also greatly improved in protection and perception. It is worth learning from our military enterprises in many aspects.

Boxer CRV heavy infantry chariot uses a new type of tungsten alloy tail stabilized shelling armour piercing projectile made in Germany. As we all know, Germany has the most advanced tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile development technology in the world. The tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile produced by Germany has become the reference and benchmark for the development of armor-piercing projectiles in various countries. Therefore, the firepower of the boxer's CRV heavy infantry chariot is several grades higher than that of its competitor, Finland's AMV35 CRV chariot, which has become one of the main factors for the final victory.

It is understood that the Australian Army used to serve the ASLAV light armored vehicle, its 25 mm machine gun is equipped with M791 tungsten alloy penetration projectile, M791 projectile at 1000 meters can only penetrate 66 mm steel plate. Boxer CRV's 30mm machine gun uses tungsten alloy tail stabilized shelling armour-piercing projectile, which can penetrate 110-120mm at the same distance, and even upgrade to 35mm main gun in the future. In addition, 30mm machine guns can also be equipped with air-blast bombs, which can effectively deal with infantry targets in open areas, indoors and bunkers. Its firepower has at least doubled.

In addition to increased firepower, the boxer CRV is equipped with an anti-tank missile launcher, which has a heavy attack capability. This makes it the most powerful model in Australia's bidding for this battle car. In addition, the boxer CRV vehicle body protection ability has also reached NATO level 6 standards, and the boxer chariot still meets this requirement in all types of vehicles. The 60-degree inclination of the vehicle's nose can prevent the 30-mm tail-wing shelling stable armour-piercing projectile fired from 500 meters away, and the whole vehicle can also withstand the shock wave produced by 155-mm grenade exploded from 10 meters away. Its survivability is much better than that of ASLAV and AMV35.

As a new generation of combat vehicle, its perception ability is also quite strong. Its turret is equipped with advanced technology and a spacious view angle, the captain has an independent thermal imager, and the fire control system is hunting-fighter mode, which will make the Australian Reconnaissance Force surge.
