Super military empire

(Regarding the blasting update, it seems that no one has spoken. Don’t you want to blast it? If so, forget it! There are more updates, and there are more piracy. These two days are obvious examples... My child is also celebrating his birthday this month. I plan to explode twice...)

The demonstration of small-caliber bullets began in the 1970s. In 1982, the feasibility of using 5.8mm heavy bullets as heavy machine guns and sniper rifles was discussed, and tests were conducted in 1986. This year, the project was just approved for 5.8. mm heavy ammunition, ******, general-purpose machine guns, sniper rifles and scopes that use the ammunition have been fully developed.

Prior to this, the Ninth Academy began to design and develop the 5.8mm small-caliber rifle without any demonstration, and it has undergone various environmental tests. Once the outside world knows it, this will cause some disturbances, and Liu Yijiu is too lazy to go. Explain these things.

Therefore, for these guns, the Ninth Academy has always been hiding in snow, and even the Blue Army has no equipment.

If it were not for Li Yunlong's sudden question, he would not even say this.

"In terms of our chariots, the world of the Dragon Guard series has been clear. The main equipment is the Dragon Guard II and the Dragon Guard III. The Destroyer is currently undergoing relevant design modifications. As for the infantry fighting vehicle, in addition to wheeled and tracked vehicles, There are also new-style designs. Sample trial production and some tests will be carried out this year. It should be delivered to the Blue Army for combat tests in the middle of next year..." The fifth district was originally the star unit of the entire Ninth Academy, but as the order was delivered, Domestic orders have begun production, and the benefits cannot be compared with fighters that are dozens of times more expensive.

Therefore, the limelight is not as strong as the aircraft industry.

For this situation, the people in the five districts naturally have a sense of loss, but there is no other way but to continue to design more equipment.

"These are the current research results of the Ninth Academy of conventional equipment. Of course, there are also missiles and rocket launchers. There is no need to elaborate on this point? The developed, except for the 336 rocket launched by the Blue Army, other All of them will equip troops..." Liu Yijiu asked Long Yaohua.

The emergence of tactical missiles, and the range from the 8208 with a range of 250 kilometers to the tactical support missile with a range of 1000 kilometers under development, although the price will be much more expensive than the long-range rocket launcher, the strike accuracy is much higher, so the Blue Army has no It is necessary to equip these equipments that are powerful but unable to carry out precision strikes in a system that is not too much.

"The 336 rocket is not equipped with troops?" Long Yaohua suddenly exclaimed.

There is no introduction in this aspect in the Blue Army's development plan.

"Although rocket launchers are much cheaper than missiles, they need to increase guidance devices in order to control accuracy within a certain range. It is better to develop more missiles!" Liu Yijiu introduced.

From the very beginning, rocket launchers have been vigorously developed by countries all over the world, because their launch speed is fast enough, and under the volley of multiple launch vehicles, they are very powerful and destructive.

That is currently the most ferocious long-range firepower of the Blue Army.

"But the price of missiles is higher, and the precision strikes performed by the missiles cannot cause surface damage to the enemy. When encountering a large-scale assembly of enemy armored vehicles, the cost of using missiles to strike is too high, and the range of heavy artillery If you can't reach it, the role of the rocket launcher is also reflected..." As a big man with a preference for artillery, whether it is Qiu Yue or Li Yunlong, they are not reconciled that there is no rocket launcher with a longer range in the Blue Army's sequence.

"Moreover, the current range of the 336 rocket is 120 kilometers, which is the gap between tactical missiles and short-range surface-to-surface missiles..." Li Yunlong murmured, "Under the current circumstances, 336 just fills the gap between short-range surface-to-surface missiles and short-range surface-to-surface missiles. The gap between the range of the 8208 missile. According to the current firepower configuration of our Blue Army’s strike range, there are 336 rockets to fill the gap between the 8208 missiles with a range of 60 to 250 kilometers; and between the 8208 missile and the tactical missile with a range of 600 kilometers, There should be rocket launchers with a range of 400 to 500 kilometers to fill the gap..."

Let alone disagree with the withdrawal of the 336 rocket from the Blue Army sequence, Li Yunlong even proposed to develop a rocket with a longer range to strengthen the Blue Army's long-range support capabilities.

"Yes, the long-range fire support of the Blue Army is really blank at this distance. The use of missiles with a range of six hundred kilometers is a bit wasteful. If the enemy conducts a large-scale assembly within this range...especially across the strait, we must deal with them. For deterrence, rocket artillery with a range of 400-500 kilometers is the most deterrent, plus various combat components, such as the cluster bombs you are studying, heavy cloud explosive bombs, etc..." Qiu Yue also agrees. opinion.

The artillery ideology has always occupied the mainstream in the construction of the Chinese army.

This is no different from the Continental Army thought passed down to the Soviet Union.

Rocket launcher is the most powerful weapon of conventional forces.

"This still depends on how the Ninth People's Court considers it." Long Yaohua obviously has the same attitude. "However, rockets are different from missiles. The United States and the Soviet Union negotiated and signed the "Complete Destruction of the Two Countries" the year before. "The Treaty on Nuclear Missiles", completely destroys and completely bans short- and medium-range missiles with a range of 500 to 1,000 kilometers and medium-range missiles with a range of 1,000 to 5,000 kilometers. Although we are not in this treaty, we should avoid them one day in the future. Use this excuse to target us..."

Rockets are not missiles.

Moreover, the United States and the Soviet Union have been vigorously developing various missiles for the purpose of precision strike capabilities with a longer range.

Now that the medium-range missile treaty is signed, all missiles with a range of 500-5000 kilometers have to be destroyed. In this way, if there is a conflict within this range, either the fighter group can only be dispatched, or it can only be used with a longer range. Of long-range intercontinental missiles to attack...

Rocket artillery, this is not a missile, and it is not within the scope of the INF Treaty.

This is entirely to avoid the Intermediate-Range Range Treaty.

Perhaps the ultra-long-range Guardian rocket launcher series was also created for this stuff?

However, Liu Yijiu really feels that rockets with a too long range are not very useful. Even if cluster bombs are used as warheads, they will not have too much power. The reason why rockets are artillery still requires large-scale intensive bombing. In order to produce better results, without the precision strike capability of missiles, and with a longer range, the power will be reduced.Immediately he asked a few big guys jokingly, "From the 600-1000 km area, do we have to develop a rocket launcher with a range of about 700 km, so that our firepower configuration can be more perfect?"

"Of course it is. After all, the cost of rocket launchers is much lower than missiles." Qiu Yue nodded affirmatively.

Long Yaohua didn’t say anything, but he also heard the jokes in Liu Yijiu’s words, “With such a long range, the cost of rocket launchers will not be much lower than missiles, and the accuracy is not as good as missiles. Not much. Need to develop..."

"So, the chief also supports the development of rocket launchers with a range of 400-500 kilometers?" Liu Yijiu asked Long Yaohua, "Even if the research is done, it is impossible for the Blue Army to be equipped. The scale is small and the power will not be. Too high..."

"It is absolutely necessary. After the Ninth Academy succeeded in the 336 rocket launcher, the research direction of the entire research team turned to missiles. Missiles are long-range strike weapons used as strategic and tactical support, and the cost is too high..." Long Yaohua said nod."But if the range is too high, it is not necessary. About 400 kilometers is enough. And the cost cannot be too high."

"Not enough funds." Liu Yijiu didn't want to get such a rocket launcher at all.

China will not join the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty for at least the next 20 years.

Moreover, the United States has not been so honest and destroyed all its medium-range and short-range missiles. Otherwise, it would not have so many Tomahawk missiles and other air-launched missiles.

After the range is long, the warhead that the missile can carry will not be too high, and the rocket launcher is also unlikely to have a stronger warhead unless nuclear weapons are used.Conventional weapons, rocket launchers need to be used intensively on a large scale, while missiles are used to strike targets precisely.

"Insufficient funds? Didn't you say at the beginning, the 336 rocket can achieve this range with certain design modifications, and the diameter will not increase too much?" Li Yunlong was immediately dissatisfied."As you said before, the technical difficulty is not very difficult, but how to improve the accuracy of the hit. Even this kind of rocket can also be used on guided missile battleships!"

Before, the people of the Ninth Academy did have such an idea. After the successful development of the 336 rocket launcher, Liu Yijiu always wanted to make the Guardian-2 the longest range of the PLA equipment in history, and it is also the range in the world. Get the farthest rocket launcher out.

The Guardian-2 rocket has a diameter of 400 mm, a total weight of 1285 kg, and a total length of 7302 mm.It is composed of fuze, warhead, control system, solid rocket motor and projectile structure.The maximum flight speed is Mach 5.6.

The rocket launcher adopts six-pack, which can replace a variety of warheads, and can even load drones carrying bombs inside a rocket, with a maximum range of 480 kilometers.

At the same time, this rocket is equipped with an inertial guidance unit, and can be guided by satellites and laser signals at the end, thereby replacing the more expensive short-range tactical missiles to a certain extent.

However, this is too similar to the base's tactical missiles, so Liu Yijiu also blocked the project.

At such a long distance, even if you fire dozens of rockets at once, the effect will not be too ideal.The greater role is deterrence. The deterrence of rocket launchers is far inferior to missiles.
