Recently, when it comes to the team's individual weapon, it has been said that the PF98 rocket launcher may be replaced with domestic individual recoillless gun, after all, there have been reports of relevant weapon testing, I believe it should be soon. However, at the recent air show, a foreign trade version of the domestic recoilless gun appeared directly. It seems that the domestic "Gustav" should have been completed, perhaps it has begun to be equipped, after all, it has begun to trade. The domestic recoillless gun, in addition to using titanium alloy material, advanced fire control targeting, also continues to provide a variety of ammunition characteristics, to meet various needs.
According to social media reports, a domestic recoilless gun has been unveiled at the Zhuhai Air Show, with a familiar look despite being a foreign trade product. It should be the "recoilless gun" developed by Yanxing Machinery in Shijiazhuang that is being tested, as previously reported. Of course, the tester in the picture is standing up and firing without support, which is a good illustration of the character of the recoilless gun.
And this time from the appearance, the self-use recoilless gun and the foreign trade version of the difference is not big, including the viewing technology is not too big difference. According to the data, this recoilless gun type is "PBW001". Using titanium alloy body tube design, with light weight easy to carry, high shooting accuracy of the body tube, long launch life, convenient logistics maintenance characteristics, of course, the only consideration is the cost of titanium alloy, but domestic titanium alloy has been very cabbage, individual weapons are currently very high use of titanium alloy. In addition, the top is also designed with a large handle, so that a soldier can easily carry a recoilless gun when carrying a weapon.
As for fire control, the three-in-one photoelectric injection fire control design is adopted this time. The so-called three-in-one fire control design integrates infrared imaging, night vision and laser ranging together, which can realize the aiming and striking under various scenes. Meanwhile, through the stable tracking server and other technologies, the archer can keep accurate striking on the fast and dynamic targets in a delicate state. The maximum range is estimated to reach 1800 meters, is a very effective team heavy weapons.
From the view of the layout of the site, the automatic version should be the same as the foreign trade version, providing a variety of ammunition, such as armor breaking rocket, multi-purpose rocket, cloud explosion rocket and so on, which is also similar to the current PF98 120mm anti-tank rocket. And speaking of the PF98 launcher, the man recoillless gun could be just the thing to upgrade the PF98, if nothing else. Military fans speculate that the widely used 120mm rocket launcher could be replaced by a single-soldier recoilless gun altogether, though the process could take a long time. However, it can be speculated that in the future team weapon configuration, it is highly likely that a single soldier will have no recoil. If the state of attack is strengthened, it is also possible to add a set.
Generally speaking, the firepower of the domestic crew is constantly increasing. After the addition of the new aircraft, the machine guns will be increased from 1 to 2. With the addition of the Type 191 precision shooting rifles, and the addition of the individual recoil guns that Ken may have been gradually equipped with, its overall firepower and support firepower level are few rivals in the world. These weapons, together with the Type 20 light weapons, will become the main weapons of the airfoot squad. With the continuous placement of these equipment, assisted by various sniper weapons, "sniper" grenades, drones, information-based cooperative combat tablets, individual flying grenades and so on, the firepower level of the domestic airfoot squad is expected to reach a new stage in the past decade, which is very much to be expected.
