As a former European military technology house, Germany has been busy restoring its economy after the war and has not invested much in the research and development of weapons and equipment. The most famous weapon and equipment in Germany after the war is the Leopard 2 series main battle tank. The early Leopard 2 and the current Leopard 2A7 have become the first choice for equipment in Poland and other countries, which is also the recognition of German equipment.
However, with the increase of the development and use cost of the main battle tank, many countries began to look for alternative weapons. Germany discovered this business opportunity, first launched the Bobcat infantry fighting vehicle, and then launched the Genesis infantry fighting vehicle. The latter has a comprehensive improvement in technology.
As the product of 2 1 century, the German Genesis infantry fighting vehicle adopts the power of hybrid design of oil and electricity. Oil-electric hybrid is widely used in civilian vehicles, but it is not common in dozens of tons of infantry fighting vehicles. Although the hybrid technology of oil and electricity was born earlier, it was used in the Tiger Tank and the destroyer Ferdinand during World War II, but that kind of use did not involve the walking mechanism. Tiger tanks and destroyer Ferdinand also need gasoline engines to provide power.
Genesis infantry fighting vehicle will support all-electric drive. Genesis infantry fighting vehicle weighs 40 tons, its maximum running speed will reach 40 km/h, and it can travel 150 km. In addition, in the state of all-electric drive, the genesis chariot is basically silent, and it is difficult for the enemy to find its trace. This is very important in fighting behind enemy lines.
In addition, in the era of more and more popular electronic equipment, how to supply power to soldiers' electronic equipment and vehicle-mounted electronic instruments and equipment has become an urgent problem to be solved. On this issue, Genesis can be said to be a "battlefield charging treasure". Genesis chariot soldiers can charge mobile phones and other equipment in the car, which can be said to be very humanized.
As a vehicle with a total combat weight of 40 tons, the defense of Genesis Battalion cannot reach the level of tank. Therefore, the Genesis chariot has made a lot of efforts in stealth. The whole vehicle adopts modular armor, and the artillery is stealth-treated. Therefore, the radar launch section of Genesis chariot is relatively small, and the fire control radar of enemy tanks is difficult to find, which increases the battlefield survival probability of this weapon. Even so, the Genesis infantry fighting vehicle may still be hit, and there is no need to panic when it is hit.
Because this chariot also has a secret weapon, that is, eight-wheel independent drive technology. The eight wheels of Genesis chariot correspond to eight motors respectively. Even if one wheel is damaged, the other wheels can work normally. This is very important in actual combat, which can ensure the safe evacuation of the chariot from the battlefield to the greatest extent, and also become the unique selling point and secret weapon of the Genesis chariot.
With the appearance of Genesis chariots, the idea of replacing tank guns with electromagnetic guns reappeared. In the past, tanks could not provide the power needed by electromagnetic guns because of their limited size.
Now the Genesis chariot seems to have solved this problem. If the electromagnetic gun can really replace the tank gun, then the future war form will have subversive changes. The fighting pace will be faster and the fighting will be more intense. However, this is still an idea at present, and it will take decades to perfect it.
