Okay, let's break down these terms, especially within the context of the Chinese internet slang "反坦神器" (fǎn tǎn shén qì), which translates roughly to "anti-tank magic weapon" or "tank killer."
1. "三蹦子 (sān bēng zi):"
This is a colloquial and somewhat derogatory term for the "T-34 tank".
The name comes from the sound its engine made when firing, described as "三蹦子——哒哒哒" (sān bēng zi — dā dā dā), meaning "three jumps — pitter-patter."
It's a highly iconic symbol in China, representing resistance and national spirit during the Second Sino-Japanese War (WWII), especially in the Battle of Shanghai. It was relatively simple, cheap, and mechanically reliable, often fielded by Chinese forces against the more advanced Japanese tanks.
In the context of "反坦神器," it's often used ironically or humorously. While technically a tank, it was considered anti-tank in the sense that it fought tanks, albeit often on an uneven playing field. Sometimes, people jokingly call modern anti-tank weapons "三蹦子" to emphasize their effectiveness against tanks, playing on the historical association. It's less about literal effectiveness and more about cultural symbolism and internet meme culture.

国庆70周年大阅兵中先进装备琳琅满目,其中有一款其貌不扬的旋翼机,我们暂时叫它三蹦子。当这小家伙出现在大家眼中时,还以为是何方神圣来临,只能说简单实用。原来军队中并不缺乏创意,实用的就是最好的,比如下面这两张照片。

法国外籍军团使用我国产的农用三轮车作为地勤用用接送士兵,这场景够拉风吧?比上面的三蹦子画面感更强,更接地气。

今天要讲的是苏联手扶拖拉机版——摩托炮,上个世纪四十年代米里设计局研制了米-4多用途直升机,由于米-4价格低廉、用途广泛大量装备苏军。不过有个新问题随之而来,载重仅1.5吨的米-4明显对于全重达3.4吨的ASU-57空降自行火炮有心无力,这使得空降部队重型火力大受影响。

米-4载重的不给力使机降部队的火力大受影响,脑洞大开的苏联人决定开始研制一款新的“自行”火炮。于是SD-57型57毫米自走反坦克炮闪亮登场,1948年研制,由57毫米火炮和M-72型摩托车发动机组合而成的自走火炮系统,装备苏联空降兵可以用米-4型直升机运载。

把操作人员和备弹都算上全重才1.3吨,能够以35公里/小时的速度进行战场短距离机动,所以大家就可以看到这款手扶拖拉机式的摩托炮到处溜达。

该炮的绰号"长桶",另外一个外号叫”摩托炮“,很形象。

除了拉炮、拉弹药外,操炮士兵还可以搭乘其进行机动作战。

当然,设计初衷最重要的功能是由米-4直升机运载,完全没有问题可以直接开进米-4直升机。

SD-57研制成功后觉得火力还不够强悍的苏联人又开始了新版本的研制,它就是SD-44型85毫米反坦克炮。以D-44型85毫米加农炮为基础,直接采用嘎斯GK型卡车车轮以增加通用性,由于重量增加最高时速降到25公里/小时。1954年底验收定型共生产697门,除装备苏联空降兵还出口东德等华约国家。
