The biggest calibers on RU-vid! Unique soviet and russian weapons of World wars, Afghanistan etc True legends reborn! email: perepoloh.project@gmail.com
I love your channel!! Спасиба! I wish Russia had a modern recoilless like the Carl Gustav; lighter, shoulder firing, reloadable (like the SPG-9), more powerful, and more ammunition options.
When I was stationed in Germany, the ZSU 4 was considered a top target. It was this weapon mounted on a track. It had four barrels. “If it flies it dies” that was drummed into us.
I don't see anyone talking about this, when he shoots the steel plates around the middle of the video, it should not crack that much. I'm guessing those metal plates are all cast iron, because metal is meant to have a little bend to it, and casting the metal too hot causes it to become almost like glass. This process of superheating casts is very common in Russia, almost all armored vehicles are built this way, and it's why in old photos during the great patriotic war, many knocked out tanks and other armored vehicles have these massive hull cracks. It's interesting to see it happen like this and it displays how casting metal too hot can make it less effective at stopping incoming fire, also it creates even more large pieces of deadly shrapnel
Immediate Action Incendiary is going to be an inertially fused explosive round designed to detonate a moment after impact with a hard surface, or anything that can slow it down fast enough to trigger. Not good for penetration. IAI ammo was originally developed as an alternative to tracers to show where shots were impacting without revealing the shooters position.
