Chapter 670 No Chinese allowed!
Under normal circumstances, after completing one round of shooting, the air defense force should immediately adjust the firing elements to prepare for the second round of shooting according to the actual situation, or quickly return to concealment.
However, these experiences were basically passed down decades ago.
The last time anti-aircraft artillery came into play on a large scale was in the Vietnam War.
The tactics used are not fundamentally different from World War II.
But now it is the turn of the century, and it makes sense to set up a concealed ambush before engaging the enemy, but if you think about regaining concealment after completing a round of firing, you are completely fooling yourself.
What's more, this is a training mission.
It means that the nature is closer to "tactic verification".
The 6th Air Defense Brigade was required to record all command parameters in detail after each round of shooting.
In order to compare it with the trajectory and hit situation detected by the radar on the other side afterwards.
After completing the first round of shooting, Zhu Xuejun, while instructing the staff officers to record the data, leaned out and raised the binoculars to try to observe his "results."
After all, even anti-aircraft artillery has basically achieved radar fire control over the years, and can completely see the target on the screen.
Now that I have lost this intuitive method, I am still not used to it.
However, Zhu Xuejun could only see through the telescope the night sky as deep as splashed ink, and the faint smoke and dust from the shell that had just been fired could be vaguely seen.
After all, the target drone is just a target the size of an anti-ship missile. It is normal to not see it at 6,000 meters high or at night...,
Fortunately, just when he felt a little pity, the voice of the command center came from the radio station:
"Yinshan 01, Yangshan Station reported that your artillery fire accurately covered the airspace around the target and the target has been shot down. "
"Attention, target 02 is preparing to take off, and is expected to enter the test airspace in 15 minutes, bearing 180..."
"..."
Almost at the same time, About a hundred kilometers away.
Northern Air Defense Command Center of the Beijing Military Region.
A group of mid- to senior-level officers were staring closely at the radar information displayed on the two large screens in front of them.
On the radar map on the right, it is clearly shown that the target just now has been split into two and is falling.
It was the target drone that had just been damaged by anti-aircraft fire and eventually disintegrated and crashed.
Unfortunately, due to the problem of information update rate, the process of artillery fire hitting the target cannot be shown.
And, when the data was refreshed again half a minute later, the screen was clean again.
This means that the two pieces of debris have fallen to a height where the curvature of the earth does not allow radar to see it.
During the entire process, the other screen on the left did not display any valuable information.
Only when the anti-aircraft fire exploded in a large area between 5900-6200 meters, a huge reflected signal was displayed on it.
That is the radar echo generated by a large number of metal fragments.
"Yongjin, it seems that this idea of using early warning radar to provide a rough direction and then using anti-aircraft artillery fire to provide rough coverage is still feasible..."
Sitting in the middle of the first row Fu Quanyou turned around and said to a lieutenant general wearing an air force uniform next to him.
"Well... I have to say that from the perspective of the impact alone, it is better than what we had expected."
Li Yongjin nodded, but his eyes still did not move from the front. move away from the two screens.
After a slight pause, the conversation changed again:
"Unfortunately, we still have no way to truly simulate the target characteristics of a stealth aircraft. Although this target drone modified with anti-ship missiles is already the smallest model of RCS, compared with the targets we expect to face, It’s still much better.”
“I don’t know if we can detect the target signal so smoothly in advance on the real battlefield.”
As the air force commander of the Beijing Military Region, he actually said. Presided over the process of transforming the ideas previously proposed by Chang Haonan into specific tactics.
This naturally includes the ongoing training mission.
From receiving the instructions to making the plan, the entire process took less than 100 hours.
And tonight is equivalent to a big test for him.
The two screens in front of the people correspond to two sets of radar data.
The one on the right is a set of long-range early warning radars that have been improved in passive mode. They were originally used by No. 14 for technical testing, but now they have been moved here to use their remaining heat.
On the left is a set of common SNR-75E, which is the fire control radar of the Hongqi 2 surface-to-air missile.
In order to avoid interference, the two were deployed in different directions, but the distance to the test airspace was still about 45 kilometers.
It's a bit close for China, but just right for the Balkan environment.
The test results are similar to what was previously estimated -
When faced with a target with a small radar reflection area, the S-band guidance radar cannot effectively see the target at all. The improved passive positioning radar can continuously and stably capture signals.
This at least proves the potential of the latter in anti-stealth.
"You can also think on the bright side."
Compared to Li Yongjin, who was still worried despite passing the exam, Fu Quanyou's mentality was much better:
"We tested The passive radar used is just an improvement on the 407 radar. It is an old thing from more than 30 years ago. "
"The side we want to support, although the opponent is radar reflection. The stealth aircraft is smaller, but the equipment in their hands is also better.”
“The specific plan proposed by the technicians is to improve two Soviet-made P18 early warning radars, one after another. , equivalent to the spear and shield being strengthened, I think they are still worth fighting.”
If we say that after receiving Ding Gaoheng's guarantee before, his mentality was still "gamble".
After seeing the test results tonight, my mentality has basically become "stable".
Because even if this cross-border support operation itself fails to achieve results, as long as the stealth aircraft can be "seen", it will be profitable.
“That’s right.”
Seeing the leaders making such positive statements, Li Yongjin naturally relaxed a lot:
"Anyway, no matter what, this idea of using multiple passive radars to replace a single giant radar to conduct multi-point detection of stealth targets is definitely promising."
"The most convenient among the new three-on-three-defense One of the most troublesome items has finally been revealed..."
The "most troublesome thing" in his mouth naturally refers to the stealth aircraft among the new three dozen.
In the past few years, although the Air Force has also proposed many related ideas, in actual operation, it is often stuck in the first step, which is "realizing that there is an incoming stealth target."
Now you can at least start thinking about the second step.
"By the way, Yongjin."
After a period of silence, Fu Quanyou suddenly spoke again:
"Judging from the current situation, do you think that within the establishment of the air defense force? Is it necessary to further retain a few large-caliber anti-aircraft artillery units for defense around key cities?”
Hearing this question, Li Yongjin immediately felt a little numb——
His next step? It is very likely that he will be promoted to the leadership of the Air Force. If during his tenure, the equipment of the air defense force will not be modernized, but will be equipped with a bunch of old anti-aircraft guns...
Then his name can basically be engraved on the military branch's pillar of shame.
Thinking of this, Li Yongjin quickly shook his head:
"After all, the range of the anti-aircraft artillery is still too short. It can only provide supplementary air defense after the opponent completes the attack, and his own safety cannot be guaranteed. It is basically equivalent. Yu exchanges a position for an aircraft on the opposite side. "
"It can be used for emergencies in the short term, but in the long run more advanced long-range anti-aircraft missiles are needed..."
Fortunately, it is paid. Quan You just asked casually and had no real intention of expanding the mixed air defense brigade into an anti-aircraft artillery division, so he did not continue to struggle with this issue...
...
While the two were chatting, the next few rounds of tests were completed one after another.
Basically, as long as the target does not change too drastically in flight altitude, the accuracy of artillery fire coverage can reach more than 90%.
Although there were two very lucky target drones that passed through the test airspace without any injuries, this was because their physical size was indeed so small that they just avoided the debris flying in the sky.
As for a stealth aircraft, no matter how small the RCS is, its size is still the size of a normal aircraft.
There was no reason to get away.
Watching the last target on the radar screen disappear in a burst of artillery fire, Fu Quanyou took a deep breath, stood up, and issued instructions in an orderly manner:
"Yongjin, you send A helicopter went to the position of the 6th Brigade as quickly as possible and brought back the shooting command data they recorded. "
"Also, let the comrades of the Electronic Technology Group copy the radar signal data. I want to take one copy back with me..."
"Organize a group of commanders and staff with experience in anti-aircraft artillery command, and compile this test data into a table..."
"Yes!"
Li Yongjin saluted, then turned around and prepared to leave the command hall.
“Wait a minute!”
Fu Quanyou called him from behind again:
“Remember to find another group of translators to translate all the words into...”
At this point, he hesitated for a moment:
"Let's settle on Russian and Serbo-Croatian for the time being, so that they can both understand it and get a more reasonable hint about the source."
“In short, no matter what, Chinese characters cannot appear in these materials, and when it comes to numbers and tables, our country’s unique writing habits must not appear.”
Li Yongjin immediately understood the superior’s instructions. Meaning, raise your hands and salute again:
“Yes!”
