Since the first timeTanksInBattle of the SommeSince its appearance, it has become an indispensable piece of equipment in land warfare. It has strong firepower and comprehensive defense capabilitiesTanks, has always been the strongest marine unit that can be attacked, retreated, and defended. However, in the last two years,Main battle tanksBut he became the "bitter master" on the battlefield. Whether it is the modernized WestMain battle tanksOr the old armored vehicles of the Soviet era, in the face of the third generation of heavy anti-aircraftTanksMissilesare overstretched when attacking, and for accurate hitsMain battle tanks, the probability of destruction is even more than 90%. Even more worrying is the ubiquity of cheapness on the battlefield todayDronesand cruise missiles, so thatTanksThe living environment has become more severe. These cheap ammunition costs only a few thousand or even hundreds of dollars per shot, and some are even modified from cardboard model airplanes, and there are many kinds of them. However, these munitions are capable of easily hitting several kilometers or even tens of kilometers awayTanksand armored vehicles, in the event of a hit,Main battle tankswill be hit hard immediately. This asymmetrical way of fighting led to a heavy war for more than a year, with a total of three or four thousand vehicles on both sidesMain battle tanksbecame scrap metal, and at the same time caused a lot of human damage. Even if it isTanksThe world power of armored vehicles, also unable to withstand such huge losses. All low-speed targets that can fly, can defeat multimillion-dollar advanced at a very low costMain battle tanks。This is a situation that no one thought of in the past, and it is completely contrary to itTanksThe original intention of the birth. This is completely contrary to the doctrine of large-depth assault of ground armored clusters that dominated during World War II. Historically, this theory has beenTanksAfter the armored assault group bypassed the Maginot Line, which had been built with reinforced concrete for a long time, the basic mode of warfare of the heavy pillbox group was abandoned. However, in the current practice of the battlefield, heavyTanksBut it doesn't play a key role. On the contrary, the Surovikin Line, similar to that of Maginot back then, remained impregnable after nearly a year of repeated fighting. The Surovikin Line was nothing out of the ordinary, it was based on a cluster of heavy pillboxes from the First World War, supplemented by a dense number of mines and criss-crossing counter-forcesTanksTrench. And the core of these defensive elements is still a heavy pillbox with a thickness of more than 1 meter. This group of heavy pillboxes is completely protected from anyDronesand the invasion of loitering missiles, even if they are attacked by 155-mm shells or ordinary anti-shellsTanksMissilesA direct hit will also not be immediately penetrated. Only heavy with a caliber of 203 mmArtilleryto be able to penetrate them. Hence the vast majority on the modern battlefieldNone of them can effectively deal with such bunkers. Even if some of the surface facilities are destroyed, it will not affect the defense of the deeper underground facilities and auxiliary underground fortifications inside. Therefore, we can conclude that building strong fortifications, adopting the tactics of holding the position, and using the strengths to avoid the weaknesses, is the ultimate magic weapon to win.
In recent years,Main battle tanksFaced unprecedented challenges on the battlefield. Both in the face of the third generation of heavy anti-TanksMissilesThe attack is stillMain battle tanksHit with precision, its survivability is at stake. Even more worrying, cheapDroneswithCruise missilesMushrooms have sprung up, with their extremely low cost and high-precision strike capabilities, becameMain battle tanksThe biggest threat. This asymmetrical way of fighting makes manyMain battle tanksThe inability to exert its formidable firepower and defensive capabilities led to a large number of combat losses. In modern warfare, how to deal with this challenge has become an urgent problem to be solved.
TanksAs a move for land warfareFortress, has always played an important role in both offense and defense. However, in the face of the modern battlefieldDroneswithCruise missilesMain battle tanksofPsychological stressMore and more visible. Imagine being on the battlefield,TanksThe crew looked at the sky myriadDronesAnd gallopingMissiles, my heart is full of uneasiness and powerlessness. They know that with a moment's hesitation, a single mistake, they can be hit, the whole carTankswill be destroyed. SuchPsychological stressIt is extremely huge for the soldiers, and it may affect their combat status and combat effectiveness.
FaceMain battle tanksIn the face of the dilemma, a return to traditional fighting methods is gradually emerging, and that is the revival of heavy pillbox groups. The heavy bunker complex, with its sturdy structure and tight defensive system, becameMain battle tanksA strong alternative. This mode of combat was once a great success in World War I, but was abandoned during the Cold War era. However, in today's battlefield practice, heavy pillbox groups have shown strong vitality. Heavy fortifications in heavy pillbox complexes can withstand all typesDroneswithCruise missilesattack, even in the face of 155-mm shells or ordinary anti-attacksTanksMissilesis also able to remain indestructible with a direct hit. This made the heavy bunker complex becomeMain battle tanksPresence that cannot be ignored.
1.Powerful Defense: Heavy bunker complexes, with their solid structures and heavy armor, can withstand various types of attacks. Whether it's from the airDroneswithCruise missiles, or shells from the ground andMissiles, are difficult to pose a major threat to it. Even if it's heavyArtilleryIt is also difficult to wreak havoc on it.
2.High mobility: Heavy bunker groups can be deployed in a suitable location and can flexibly adjust their defensive range. They can choose different deployment methods according to the situation and needs of the battlefield and effectively control the battlefield.
3.Durable combat capability: Heavy bunker groups can provide soldiers with a long-term living environment under a secure defense system. Their internal infrastructure and ancillary facilities, such as underground fortifications and bunker complexes, provide shelter, food, and other necessities for the soldiers, thus ensuring that they can resist enemy attacks for a long time.
4.Precision Fire Strikes: Heavy pillbox groups can be equipped with various typesArtillerywithMissiles, which can inflict precision strikes on enemy units. They can use their firepower superiority to effectively weaken the enemy's offensive capabilities.
5.High degree of centralized command capability: heavy bunker groups can be centrally commanded through the first-class command system to achieve comprehensive control of the entire battlefield. In this way, the firepower and defense capabilities of each pillbox can be used more efficiently, forming a complete defense system and improving the combat effect.
In the current battlefield environment,Main battle tanksFacing serious challenges, both from heavy anti-counterTanksMissilesThe attack is still cheapDroneswithCruise missilesAll of them are rightTanks's ability to survive has created tremendous pressure. In this case, the heavy pillbox group, as a solid defensive system, showed a strong advantage. Heavy bunker groups have strong defenses that can withstand all types of attacks;It has a high degree of mobility and can flexibly adjust the defense range;It has the ability to fight for a long time and can provide soldiers with a long-term living environment;Capable of accurate firepower, it can deliver precision strikes on enemy units;At the same time, it has a high degree of centralized command capability, which can achieve comprehensive control over the entire battlefield. In future battles, building strong fortifications, adopting the tactics of holding the position, and using strengths to avoid weaknesses are the ultimate magic weapons to win.
