What's the feeling of driving the M 1A2 main battle tank?

Another question and answer has been pushed to the hot spot, so write it. After all, this is a hot issue that W Jun didn't answer.

Actually, to be honest, Mr. W didn't really drive M 1A2. The only experience of driving a tank was less than 300 meters in Baotou Tank Factory. I thought this thing was too difficult to open at that time. In fact, this experience is also due to the relatively loose policy of that year. Baotou Tank Factory is generous to let guests experience the feeling of driving tanks.

However, the conditions are relatively loose, and it is qualified to drive from one point to another.

As for driving the M 1A2 main battle tank, you have to ask the tank soldiers who are really equipped with M 1A2 troops. 20 16 once interviewed an oil tanker. Just pick a few points for everyone to see.

What's it like to stay in Tanqueray for 36 hours?

Tanker: "

For a specific task, it will be an action of the whole battalion. Therefore, our heavy infantry and light infantry, as well as tanks, military maintenance vehicles, working dogs and female soldiers, will operate in all directions. However, ensuring safety is the first priority. In the security work, the tank is a relatively fragile link.

Tanks are the first choice for the enemy to attack, so for 36 hours, our nerves will be very nervous.

A 36-hour task can really push the body to the limit of patience. In these cases, we must make sure to bring enough water, or enough water and electrolyte drinks. And whenever we relax a little, we immediately urinate with empty containers, and sometimes we defecate with MRE bags.

When you are nervous, you can't help drinking water, and when you are relaxed, you will pee quickly. It is not so much a battle as a water cycle.

"

Reporter: "Yes. We should not only pay attention to this point, but also ask: if one person wants to "take out the garbage" in a closed space with three other people, how can you keep calm and keep the right attitude? Is this humorous? Did you laugh? "

Tanker: "That's right! Whenever the real defecation bridge starts, they are the source of all kinds of jokes. Many jokes are borne by defecators. We should usually comment on what he ate earlier in the day, or maybe we should spit out MRE and the texture of the product.

To make matters worse-these things happen inside the tank, and the temperature inside the tank can reach 150 due to the problem of closed space? (65 degrees Celsius), I have seen the in-cylinder thermometer stop at 150 degrees for a long time.

As you can imagine, four people are enclosed in a 150 degree container, surrounded by shit, urine, fuel and explosives.

"

Are you annoyed by being trapped in a small space with three other guys? How do you keep the right attitude?

Tanker: "

I thought, is this the real problem? , really?

Everyone knows his place in Tanqueray. Everyone also knows their proper tasks in the hierarchy. This is not something that needs to be repeated or strengthened, so it is not the root of the conflict.

The real problem is that when you get an alarm that someone is approaching you with an RPG, this is the real source of conflict.

Not only RPG, but also enemies of roadside bombs and automatic weapons. These things can be seen everywhere around tanks!

So we continue to drink water. ...

"

Can you tell me something about firing the main gun from inside the tank?

Look into the tank when the main gun fires: this is beautiful.

Adrenaline will immediately fill your whole body, because you have to deal with a huge explosion less than two feet away from you, which is enough to shock a 72-ton vehicle. If the sprocket is not used, the main gun will push the tank backwards after firing.

As long as you know that this power is at your fingertips, it will explode within two feet of your face, and adrenaline will replace your thinking ability.

But I have to say it was a wonderful experience. I will cherish it, and I will bring it to my shock at any time in my life.

Another thing to say is that when you are a tank commander, sometimes you stick your head out of the hatch when the main gun just fires. At this time, the shock wave of the main gun has not completely subsided, which makes your teeth tremble and blows away the hair on your face. I had a moustache at that time, and a gun fire could blow it down.

One more thing. If you stand outside the tank, the shock wave of the fire will almost knock you down and even cause concussion and other injuries.

The force pushing these projectiles is so great. It's amazing. This is unparalleled, this is unparalleled, amazing. That's great.

Is there any special ceremony in any form, or something that can only be done in Tanqueray, or something that only tank soldiers know?

Tanker: "

Name one. If you want to know whether a new member has really driven other tanks before, you can put him in the position of loader.

When the commander orders a meeting, the tank soldiers who served in the old tanks usually cover their lower bodies with their hands.

Now, after firing, the shell will evaporate with the explosion, but before that, I don't know which direction it will collapse when removing the shell.
