Chapter 132 Electromagnetic gun drone! Tank nightmare!
After thinking about it, Su Heng still said:
"Theoretically, there is no problem, but I personally feel that it does not make much sense to install electromagnetic guns on fighter planes."
"Although I don't know much about military affairs, when I designed the Sword Ten Kai, Sword Eleven Kai, and Sword Twenty-One, I have conducted relevant technical demonstrations and even simulated them through intelligent systems"
"The future air combat mode must be long-distance beyond-visual-range strikes. The outcome of the war depends on missiles and radars, not cannons"
"In my previous intelligent simulations, I fought with all the main fighters of the Sword Ten, Sword Eleven and Black and White Eagles"
"When fighting against the Black and White Eagle's Fighting Falcons, our fighters There is still a chance to engage in close combat with the opponent, but when facing the Black and White Eagle Eagle fighter jets, the chance of our fighters fighting at close range is only 6.83%"
"And when facing the Black and White Eagle, When fighting a Raptor fighter, there was no chance of close combat at all!”
“During the simulated battle with the Raptor fighter, I conducted three simulations, and the final results of the three simulations were the same. Our record of 100-0 ended! All battles were almost beyond visual range. The Raptor locked onto our fighter jets and ran away after launching the missiles."
"The simulation results have proved that the cannon is Due to the limitations of this weapon, based on the results of this battle, the three fighters I designed later, the Jian Shi Kai, the Jian 11 Kai and the Jian 21, did not have cannons.”
"Later, I also used these three fighters to conduct data simulations with the Black and White Eagle fighters, and the final result was the same as before."
"When facing the three advanced fighters of Jian Shi Kai, the Black and White Eagle The fighter planes also have no chance of close combat. Except for the Raptor, even the Raptor, which is also a stealth fighter, has no chance of fighting us at close range!"
"Although the Raptor is a stealth fighter, they have no chance of close combat! The stealth effect of the iron-based coating is not very good. At the same time, I upgraded their radars in a targeted manner. In front of them, there is no difference between the Raptor and the ordinary fighter jets like the Fighting Falcon..."
"All in all, I personally feel that there is no need for us to install electromagnetic guns on fighter planes."
After a pause, Su Heng continued: "Of course, if Mr. Qian still thinks that there is such a problem, If necessary, I can also help with modifications, such as the electromagnetic gun in the fire support power armor. The total weight is only more than 100 kilograms, and with the two hundred rounds of ammunition, it is less than 300 kilograms. It is completely It can be put on a fighter plane..."
After saying this, Su Heng didn't say anything more.
But quietly, waiting for Qian Zhizhong’s reply.
He has said everything that needs to be said. What he chooses next is none of his business.
He is only responsible for technology. As for strategy and tactics, that is not his field of study.
The profession is like a mountain. As a technician, what Su Heng dislikes the most is a layman commanding an expert. Similarly, he will not command other people's experts as a layman...
After listening to what Su Heng said, Qian Zhizhong also fell silent.
He also had no idea that Su Heng had done so much work before studying the three Jianshi Kai fighters.
To be honest, they are also a little confused about the future war model.
There are many military commanders in the National Defense Force who put forward the war concept that machine guns are useless, like Su Heng.
But similarly, there are many commanders who advocate retaining machine guns.
The former are relatively radical radicals, while the latter are relatively conservative conservatives.
The biggest reason for conservatives is that the Black and White Eagle's raptors all have machine guns!
According to conservatives, the Black and White Eagle is the first country in the world to master stealth fighters and conduct large-scale production. Their stealth fighters still retain cannons, which is enough to show that cannons are still Useful...
The radicals believe that although Black and White Eagle is the first country to master stealth fighters, Black and White Eagle itself is crossing the river by feeling for stones!
The first one to master does not mean that it is the best or the best!
What the National Defense Force should do is to learn from others' strengths and offset their weaknesses. While learning from others' advancements, they should also discard others' shortcomings!
Instead of following one another, indiscriminately, and accepting all the good and bad...
For so many years, the two factions have never reached a consensus, and both sides have their own opinions. and insights.
Under such an environment, even the fifth-generation aircraft developed by the National Defense Force in Tianfu still has room for modification of the cannon.
If after the fighter aircraft comes off the production line, actual combat exercises prove that the cannon is indeed useful, a cannon can be installed at any time...
Even before, when I saw that the three fighters of Su Heng's Jianshi Kai did not have cannons, some people asked whether to install cannons on the fighters...
In fact, even Qian Zhizhong himself , all swaying.
He is not a conservative, but he is not the kind of radical who rushes into everything.
His status is not suitable for standing on either side alone.
Of course, in fact, he is more conservative in his heart.
After all, the previous fighter jets of the National Defense Force had major flaws in terms of radar and missile technology. Not to mention hitting every target, a 40% hit rate was already an extremely good result!
In this case, the cannon cannot be completely abandoned.
Now, Su Heng's statement made Qian Zhizhong feel a little shaken.
Indeed, the performance of their previous fighters was indeed limited, including radar and missiles.
But now?
It’s completely different now!
In the past few months, while assisting Su Heng in the production of fighter planes, they have not been idle internally.
Data modeling and data analysis are performed on Sword Ten Changes, Sword Eleven Changes, and Sword Twenty-One almost every day.
The final conclusion is that any of these three fighter jets is as powerful as the Raptor, or even capable of crushing the Raptor!
The reason why they say they are not inferior to them is entirely because the missiles of their National Defense Force are not good. Just like the 10,000-ton large-scale propeller given to Qinshan, the fighter planes Su Heng gave to Qian Zhizhong also have no missiles...
Under these countless data simulations, the conservative rhetoric has begun to waver!
After a long silence, Qian Zhizhong sighed slightly.
It seems that there is indeed no need to use machine guns.
As Su Heng said, the future war model will inevitably develop in the direction of beyond visual range. The two sides start a war dozens or even hundreds of kilometers away. Who will fight with you at close range?
Fighters costing hundreds of millions, plus excellent pilots that cost tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars to train, who wouldn’t feel sad about losing them?
But just when Qian Zhizhong was about to give up, Qin Shan suddenly said:
"Xiao Su, it is indeed a bit useless to install electromagnetic guns on fighter jets, but what about ground attack and support helicopters?"
>Hearing this, Su Heng was startled. Helicopter?
He had never thought about this.
Speaking of helicopters, the image of the helicopter he built two years ago appeared in Su Heng's mind almost instantly.
Then, Su Heng almost subconsciously began to demonstrate the combination of helicopters and electromagnetic guns.
Not only Su Heng, but also Qian Zhizhong and Qian Zhizhong started to think after hearing what Qin Shan said.
Helicopters, or armed helicopters, are not a new weapon.
Black and White Eagle has put helicopters into actual combat use more than half a century ago.
And in many previous oil wars, the Patch helicopter gunships like the Black and White Eagle also shined!
That amazing record was once mythologised as a tank killer!
On the Blue Star Network, whether at home or abroad, there are countless fans of Patch helicopter gunships!
To this day, on the Dragon Kingdom's Internet, when it comes to Dragon Kingdom weapons and equipment, the Patch gunship must be used by those shepherd dogs, public knowledge, or those foreigners to ridicule the Dragon Kingdom's classics work!
The Dragon Kingdom has also been engaged in research and development in this area, but to this day, the Dragon Kingdom’s advanced armed helicopters are still in the laboratory stage...
And if this electromagnetic sniper cannon can be put on Wuzhi, and paired with an intelligent biological control helmet that can be called a plug-in, then their Wuzhi will probably be transformed into a nightmare for the enemy!
Just imagine, the electromagnetic sniper cannon in the hands of the fire support armor cannot even withstand the frontal armor of the Ram Tank within two thousand meters!
Then if the initiation attack comes again, who can withstand it?
You know, this electromagnetic sniper cannon has a titanium alloy penetration depth of up to 150 millimeters even from a distance of six thousand meters!
If it were replaced by an ordinary homogeneous steel plate, it would be almost 300 mm to 450 mm!
What kind of tank has a Tianling cover with more than 300 to 400 millimeters of armor?
And besides this terrifying power.
There is another aspect of this electromagnetic gun that makes Qiao Zhenhai even more excited, and that is the cost!
The reason why fighter planes are equipped with electromagnetic guns is useless. In addition to the inappropriate future air combat mode, the more important point is that fighter jets fly too fast and the cannon's firing range is too narrow, which will not give you much at all. Shooting time.
The electromagnetic gun cannot turn or track. If it hits, it will hit. If it misses, it really misses.
Unlike armed helicopters, armed helicopters can hover and adjust their flight altitude and speed at any time.
You don’t have to worry about shooting out of bounds at all.
Without this concern, the advantages of the electromagnetic gun will be infinitely magnified!
That electromagnetic gun is more powerful than air-to-ground rockets or even air-to-ground missiles, but the launch cost is only the cost of one projectile!
How much does an electromagnetic gun shell cost?
Although Qiao Zhenhai hasn't asked in detail, he thinks it won't be that expensive anyway. Even if it goes higher, the price of a 30mm shell can be as much as that of a heavy artillery shell.
But that is completely incomparable to rockets and missiles!
And the projectiles are so small that an armed helicopter can carry at least a thousand rounds!
The price/performance ratio is almost unbeatable!
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhenhai’s eyes flickered slightly, and he became extremely excited.
Even Qiao Zhenhai's thoughts were diverging at this moment.
For example, the electromagnetic close-in defense cannon that Qin Shan mentioned before!
What would be the effect if that thing were moved to the ground?
Electromagnetic gun armed helicopters, electromagnetic close-in anti-aircraft ground anti-aircraft vehicles.
Add firepower on the ground to support the armored forces!
Electromagnetic gun tank!
"Hiss..."
Thinking of such a scene, Qiao Zhenhai couldn't help but take a breath.
My spirit is trembling at this moment!
Not scared, but excited!
At this moment, he was even a little impatient and wanted to take out all those things and equip them with troops!
If such a lineup is really produced and installed, then who will dare to speak loudly in front of their National Defense Forces?
When the god of those ghost guys comes, they all have to kowtow to him before they leave!
I don’t know how long it took, but Su Heng’s voice finally sounded again:
“Theoretically, there is no problem at all in putting the electromagnetic gun on the armed helicopter.”
Hearing this, whether it was Qin Shan, Qiao Zhenhai, or Qian Zhizhong, all three of them showed joy on their faces.
At this moment, Su Heng spoke again:
"But Mr. Qin, as far as I know, the armies of various countries now have such things as anti-aircraft missiles, right? On the modern battlefield, Can a low-altitude, low-speed target like an armed helicopter really survive an attack from an anti-aircraft missile?"
Facing Su Heng's question, the three of them were startled.
Then they looked at each other and the three of them laughed:
"Xiao Su, you don't have to worry about this issue. Just as you think, modern armies of various countries have anti-aircraft missiles, but don't think too highly of this thing."
"This thing is large Basically, they are very heavy and heavy. You have to carry a team of radars and personnel and equipment wherever you go, otherwise the missiles alone will be a piece of scrap!”
“On the frontline battlefield of emergency support, It’s hard for something like this to appear in the first place!”
“And even if it does appear, modern warfare is about three-dimensionality, and we are not one of those small countries that have not even established a complete military system. , our three armies are all ready. If there is a fight, it will definitely be a joint effort among the three armies. It does not mean that any of the arms will go out alone to fight with the enemy on the battlefield. This is not how the war is fought..."
"Armed Helicopter We are indeed afraid of anti-aircraft missiles, but we still have the fighter jets, twin-tail bombers, twin-tail reconnaissance aircraft you provided, and even worse, there are precision-guided missiles!”
"Once such large targets appear, we can carry out a devastating attack on them as soon as possible!"
"As for small air defense systems, individual air defense missiles, etc., the current effective attack range of these things Almost all of them are within six kilometers, or even five kilometers."
"As for Xiaosu, your electromagnetic sniper cannon has a homogeneous steel plate penetration depth of three to four hundred millimeters beyond six kilometers, and even within ten kilometers. They have good strike capabilities even kilometers away!”
“As long as we pull the helicopter to a safe distance, even if there are anti-aircraft missiles, they can’t do anything to us. The only trouble is that this distance is also far. It is beyond the visual range of our pilots, and it will be difficult for us to provide precise support..."
Hearing this, Su Heng was thoughtful.
