Super military empire

(Looking forward to the explosion of packages, please let Hulu see you.)

"The design work for this range of rocket launchers has basically been completed. However, when the prototype was about to be produced, we began to carry out the design and transformation of the 8028 missile. At the same time, there was also the design of the long sky sword... It is said that the power of rocket launchers cannot be compared with precision strike missiles when they cannot be fired on a large scale and intensively. If you want to improve the design accuracy of rocket launchers, then you need to add a guidance system. What's the difference with missiles? The cost will not be cheap..."

A rocket with a guidance system is actually a missile.

Moreover, due to the different considerations in the design, the accuracy of the rocket launcher cannot be compared with the missile even if it is equipped with a guidance system.

For missiles and rockets of the same range, rockets need more quantity to achieve their goals, while missiles only use mass to win.

"In addition, we also made a budget at the beginning. If we start sample trial production and continue research and development, the price of a rocket launcher with such a range will reach 2.2 million yuan. Even if there are more manufacturing, the future price will not drop too much. Obviously The cost-effectiveness ratio is not high..." Liu Yijiu tried to persuade Long Yaohua and others to not develop a rocket launcher with a range of 400 kilometers.

The cost of a launch vehicle is tens of millions, and the price is as high as two million US dollars. This is much more expensive than the price of the Dongfeng-10. The military has ordered five battalions for the Dongfeng-10 missile. Only 4 million pieces!

"It is true. Compared with missiles, rocket launchers can intensively kill targets, such as enemy armored clusters, ports, stations, airports and other places where a large number of enemy personnel and materials are concentrated; compared with howitzers, the operation is lighter and more flexible, with firepower. The concentration is violent, and the multi-pipe volley of rockets has a large spreading area...Large spreading area is an advantage as well as a disadvantage. The impact of the large spreading area is the deterioration of shooting accuracy. It is only suitable for targets with a larger shooting range, such as tanks. Clusters, enemy logistics supply points, battlefield fortifications, etc. In addition, rockets are launched with great fanfare, flames are soaring, dusty, and easy to expose the position. After each launch, it must be transferred immediately, unless the air dominance and electronic dominance on the battlefield are completely obtained. "As the former head of rocket artillery research, Du Zhongkun is now responsible for the research and development of the Ninth Academy of missiles. He has a thorough understanding of the various advantages and disadvantages of missiles and rocket artillery.

If they did not understand this, it was absolutely impossible for them to give up the development of a rocket with a longer range.

After all, at that time, China's electronics industry was not good, and high-performance computer chips were difficult to obtain. To have stronger weapons and equipment, it was very difficult to develop missiles, but the difficulty of rocket launchers was much smaller.

What's more, the domestic research on rocket launchers has a very strong foundation.

His words listed the advantages and disadvantages of the rocket launcher.

It is not that the Ninth Academy does not conduct research, but the Ninth Academy feels that, under the current circumstances, there is no much research value at all.

A Dongfeng-10 is no more than twice as expensive as a rocket with a range of 400 kilometers.

What's more, the hit accuracy of the Dongfeng-10 can reach within 30 meters, and the landing point of the rocket cannot reach this accuracy.

"You have also said that it is used to strike larger targets, such as armored clusters, logistics bases, and even airports and battlefield fortifications. This type of rocket has a greater effect. Although it is a bit expensive, we can also A small amount of equipment is specially used to attack these targets, so that the more accurate Dongfeng-10 can strike the enemy's high-value targets and some hidden firepower points. Isn't it better to match high and low?" Long Yaohua obviously does not want to give up the research and development of rocket launchers. .

The Ninth Institute has such a technical foundation and already has a design plan. It only needs to conduct trial production, test launch, and then demonstrate the improvement.

Now that the work is half done, what can't be done!

Even if the research and development is successful, you can fill the Republic’s arsenal without equipping troops.

In the Republic's arsenal, except for nuclear weapons and long-range strategic missiles, almost all of the top weapons and equipment come from the Ninth Academy.

Although the number is already very large compared to the unit of the Ninth Academy, for the weapons arsenal of a country such as the Republic, the types of these equipment are still somewhat small.

"It's really not possible. It can also be used as a technical reserve. When a war breaks out, it can be vigorously produced when needed. The key is that the technology must be perfect and the effect can be reflected..." Li Yunlong also said with help, "Even if the cost is somewhat high If it is used to deal with large targets such as the enemy’s airport, the cost of using missiles will be higher. Rockets can reduce the cost by more than half."

"Missiles can be equipped with cluster bombs!" Liu Yijiu emphasized, "Cluster bombs can also give missiles a larger spreading area."

"Rockets are also equipped with cluster bombs, aren't they more effective and cheaper?"

Several old military men made it clear that they did not want to abandon the development of rockets with a higher range.

The people in the Ninth Academy are indeed somewhat helpless.

Talking about the problem of insufficient funds, this can't deceive people at all. Based on the current technical foundation of the Ninth Academy, the cost of developing such a rocket will not be too high, and it will even be carried out directly on the basis of the Dongfeng-10 and 8208 missiles, plus the 336 rocket. Modify the design and it will be completed soon.

"Or, let's give all the technical information, and the military will find another unit to study it?" Liu Yijiu sighed inwardly. Why are these big domestic guys so persistent with all kinds of artillery? !"Under the current situation, due to the continuous expansion of the combat radius of fighters, the range of missiles has become more accurate, and the enemy's staging areas cannot be too close, and these rockets have no chance of performance at all."

Although the Republic pushed this rocket launcher to many airshows, let the world know that the Guardian-2, the world's most advanced rocket launcher with the farthest range, was not installed at all in China.

Perhaps this is the reason.

Now if it is done, the Israeli military leaders’ preference for rocket launchers is absolutely impossible to abandon the installation.

Thinking about it, I feel a little unbelievable. This is basically still the influence of the Soviet Continental Army, especially the paranoia of artillery construction.Even in the present Soviet Union, no republic has such a powerful artillery.

"How is it possible! Unless the enemy has a war with us, there will be no ground war. Is this possible? Or, they will only use a huge amount of air power and missiles to destroy most of our ground forces at the beginning of the war. , And like the guiding ideology of our Blue Army construction, the ground troops only need to occupy the enemy without the threat of a large-scale formed army..." Qiu Yue shook his head.

This kind of thing is really too difficult to achieve.

Especially the enemy invaded China.

The current strategic policy of China’s national defense is a defensive strategy, and the huge territorial area makes it impossible for the enemy to quickly implement occupation. The vast and complex terrain is destined to be impossible for any country to easily defeat the Chinese army and let the Chinese army. There is no power to fight back.

"The construction of the Blue Army is not to say that it is wrong, but the construction of the Blue Army is mainly focused on offensive force, not defense. Are you not developing a defense system? Use lower-cost rockets to replace missiles. When the enemy's missiles come in, the intensive launching to intercept the enemy's missiles will have more obvious effects?" Long Yaohua seemed to think of something.

Use rockets intensively to intercept enemy missiles?

Thanks to these big guys being able to figure it out.

They also struggled to keep such a powerful rocket launcher project.

In the entire world, even the Soviet Union, which most wants to develop rockets, does not have such a frenzy in the development of rockets.

Yes, just crazy.

Moreover, in a few decades, Israel will develop an "Iron Dome" defense system specifically designed to defend against rocket launchers.

However, it seems more feasible to use such rockets to intercept missile attacks?

The missile defense system studied by the Ninth Academy is divided into several levels. The one at the farthest point is precisely intercepted by missiles. When the missile interception fails, more short-range air defense missiles will be launched intensively. At that time, a denser number of rockets was used to form a target area in the air, so as to carry out multiple levels of higher-precision interception and prevent enemy missiles from falling over the target.

This is also to use the domestically produced rocket launchers and anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns to integrate resources.

"If such a rocket is used in the interception system, the technical level will become very high!" Du Zhongkun and the others frowned.

"What's the difficulty? Install cluster bombs or fragmentation warheads directly on the warhead. When intercepting, let the warhead in the front of the rocket explode to induce or shoot down the incoming missiles. Some military bases are used. It’s difficult, but what if we use our guided missile battleships? Haven’t you always emphasized that the offensive and defensive capabilities of guided missile battleships must be developed in a balanced manner, and can’t be defended by offensive..." Long Yaohua once again gave Liu Yijiu A reason to shake confidence.

Missile battleship!

After the transformation of this thing is completed, it will be stronger than Kirov. Kirov has only installed more than 400 missiles of various types, and after the Iowa-class transformation, it will be equipped with at least 1,000 missiles of various types. .For defense, all types of anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, and anti-aircraft missiles are desperately mounted on it.

Unfortunately, there are no long-range air defense missiles in the country, the Hongqi-9 has not yet come out, and the Ninth Academy has no energy to study.
