Chapter 234 Give Red Sword-73 the whole twin brother
Gao Zhendong listened to the designer’s report, with thoughts in his head.
This project started in 1958 and has been going on for a long time. We have even made a prototype and it can fly without any control, basically without any problems.
It sounds okay, but to put it bluntly, it is still an uncontrolled rocket for the time being.
It sounds quite shabby, but this is already a relatively outstanding achievement. In that era, the industrial foundation was really too weak.
But now we have obtained a small batch of SS.11 full-system live ammunition, as well as a full set of parameters, usage and service instructions. For the developers of a generation of anti-tank missiles, it is like a Miss Lin falling from the sky, which is extremely rare.
Gaul Chicken is so generous. In addition to responding to the export conditions of DJS-59, it does not mean "check it out and buy some?". They can also return the blood of imported computers.
However, Gao Zhendong really has no interest in this thing. The first generation of wire-controlled anti-tank missiles generally use three-point guidance. The guidance method relies on eyes for sighting and control on hands. It is nothing more than adding a Telescopes allow shooters to see a little clearer.
Although the hit rate of this method does not depend on the sky, it depends on the person, which tests the shooter's skills and mentality.
Coupled with the slow flight speed of the missile at this time, once the missile is launched, the launch point will be exposed to the threat of enemy fire for a long time.
However, this kind of completely "man-operated" missile must be accurately controlled by humans from launch to hit, and the missile operator cannot move at all. This will test the shooter's mentality and luck.
There is also a design flaw in SS.11. There is a problem with the control law. After the missile is controlled to correct its course, its return to center depends on human intervention based on experience. In actual combat, the missile's course basically always forms a line with the line of sight. The angle is naturally not accurate.
Whether the Gallic chicken is used by oneself or given to others, the hit rate is extremely low.
Although the SS.11 has been much smaller than the SS.10, it still has huge wings, which makes its transportation, service, deployment and other operations extremely inconvenient. It can basically only be mounted on a vehicle and is used by individual soldiers. Or fighting in a group, the actual effectiveness is worrying.
Speaking of which, the wings of this generation of anti-tank missiles all have the same bird shape, which means one word, big!
However, this thing is not without its merits. Its range and armor-breaking capability far exceed Lao Maozi's first-generation heavy anti-tank missile "Bumblebee".
Thinking of this, Gao Zhendong could not help but secretly curse himself for standing and talking without back pain. He felt that this thing was broken because he was looking at it from the perspective of the next few decades. In this era, this thing is still It is truly an advanced weapon, of course, if you put aside the stupid control law.
How stupid is this control law? Although Lao Maozi's "Bumblebee" also failed, in the Middle East, the actual hit rate was about 1/4. However, when SS.11 participated in actual combat, there was basically no heard of any results.
What Gao Zhendong wants is a bomb similar to the Red Sword-73. Although there are problems like this, the Red Sword-73 has two advantages.
Firstly, it is cheap. A round of ammunition may not be as expensive as a 152 shell. Even if you are a bit crazy, you can use it to hit people and kill one, and the rest will be pure profit.
Interestingly, the first results of many anti-tank missiles are not to hit tanks, but to hit people or fortifications.
For example, Gallic Chicken's AS.11, and our Red Sword-73.
The first result of the Red Sword-73 was in 1985, during the battle between two mountains. Four rounds of ammunition beheaded the enemy's frontline command post, and 17 enemy command personnel below the battalion and company level were killed in a wave. Take it away and earn blood!
If it were changed to the famous brainteaser question, it would be 17 monkeys on the tree, 4 stones would hit them, and how many monkeys would remain.
Secondly, the whole system is light in weight, small in size, and has good portability and adaptability. Although it does not have a launch tube, it can be used anywhere because of this.
Speaking of which, the launch tube thing is still a high-tech thing nowadays. The development of Chijian-8 has suffered a lot from the launch tube, such as the high and low voltage generator needed to launch missiles, the reliable rear throw of the launch tube, etc. .
It's better to keep it simple. It can go in wind and rain without a launch tube. At worst, it just doesn't need to be loaded.
Even if it is temporarily impossible to produce a later model of the Red Sword-73 with infrared angle measurement and line-of-sight semi-automatic command guidance due to sensor problems, as long as a projectile with comparable combat performance to the basic model of the Red Sword-73 can be produced , in this era, it is a proper tank killer.
Gauloise chicken, how about you buy some more? A good guy who specializes in fighting tanks~~~~~~
Thinking of this, Gao Zhendong made a decision in his head and did it! All the technologies needed for Red Sword-73 are either available on SS.11 or in your own head!
Give Chijian-73 the whole twin brother first.
At this time, the meeting also entered the discussion stage. Generally speaking, the opinions tended to be imitated on the basis of SS.11.
As for improvements, I can’t say much. In fact, at that time, most of the imitations could not reach the performance of the originals. Generally speaking, they only improved in terms of human-machine efficiency, localized use, and service performance. , but in terms of core performance, there are not many imitation projects that can improve.
Imitation of SS.11 cannot be said to have bad taste. After all, the paper performance of SS.11 is still very good. Without a large batch of live ammunition, no one knows that there is something behind this thing. Such a big pit. It was Gao Zhendong's turn to speak. The leaders of the Defense Working Committee and some acquaintances looked at Gao Zhendong with a little expectation, wanting to see what this increasingly famous "cannon" could say.
Gao Zhendong's first words shocked everyone: "This bomb won't work!"
When everyone heard this, they all looked sideways, and then whispered.
"It is indeed a tall cannon, and he speaks like crazy."
"Not necessarily, he is really capable, maybe in his opinion, there is something wrong with this thing."
“No one has done this before, where does he get the confidence?”
"That's right, if we can tell whether it works or not just by looking at the appearance, then what else do we need to do."
But unlike others, when the leader of the National Defense Work Committee heard these words, he immediately became energetic.
Gao Dapao is a man who never fires off cannons and is always reasonable. This can be seen from his performance in all similar meetings he has participated in before.
Since he can say this categorically, he must have something to rely on.
Gao Zhendong saw everyone's reaction and didn't care. He continued: "I'm not saying that a specific technical indicator of this bomb is not good, but that the overall performance is not good. In terms of specific indicators, this bomb still has Highlights.”
The leader of the National Defense Work Committee smiled and said: "Comrade Zhendong, be specific."
Gao Zhendong nodded: "From my personal tactical scenario, anti-tank missiles must be light and portable enough, and the technical threshold for use is The cost of shooter training should be low so that our large number of light infantry units can use it. This missile is too big. "
The SS.11 missile body is more than one meter long and 30kg. , it is really difficult for the infantry detachment to carry it.
Some people disagree with this statement: "Anti-tank missiles can be installed on vehicles and used. We want to achieve motorization and even mechanization. Portability is not a big problem. And our rocket engine technology may now It may not be able to support the technical demand for miniaturization.”
Gao Zhendong smiled: “Yes, we are working hard to go in this direction, but in the short term, production capacity and cost issues are one of the problems that bother us. The big difficulty is that there is still a lot of practical demand for shoulder-mounted hunches, and our infantry interleaving is also an old tradition. During the infantry interleaving process, we still need to have accompanying precise anti-armor firepower.”
Then he added: "As for rocket engine technology, we can communicate with missile research units and it should be able to be solved."
Gao Zhendong almost said something, that is, regardless of armor transportation Vehicles and infantry fighting vehicles are still in their infancy.
As for rocket engine technology, Gao Zhendong can actually solve it. No matter how high the flying speed of this thing is, it can't get anywhere. Rocket engines are not troublesome, but it's not easy to say this now, so I have to ask them to go. Communicate with the Institute of Guidance and Research.
Some comrades laughed: "What are the interspersed light infantry doing to go head-to-head with the enemy's armored forces? Isn't this a brain problem."
Gao Zhendong shook his head: "It's not just anti-armor, This is a very good means of attacking the enemy's strong fortifications. The interspersed light infantry lacks this. The recoilless rifle is not so easy to carry. The rocket launcher is not accurate, but it can be combined with this. Things are used together.”
The leaders of the National Defense Work Committee and representatives of the user's eyes flashed when they heard this. Let's not talk about whether the whole scenario of the high-altitude artillery was correct, but at least it was really based on the actual combat perspective and actual conditions.
Gao Zhendong raised another problem with this bomb: the flight speed is not fast, only about 150 meters/second in actual combat.
Although it is much faster than the SS.10's approximately 80 meters/second, its 3,000-meter range still takes about 20 seconds. This time is enough for a tank or its accompanying firepower to fire a shot. , the effective range of tank guns is generally 2000 meters, which is for armor-piercing projectiles. When using grenades, it is still no problem to shoot 3000 meters.
“The flying speed of this bomb is relatively slow, which brings about two problems. First, the flying speed is slow and the lift provided by the missile body is not enough. It can only be made up for by using huge wings. This also causes One of the reasons for its huge size. Second, the slow speed and long flight time make the shooter prone to enemy fire counterattacks. "
This is a practical problem, the researcher said: "There is no way. The problem with the rocket engine is that no matter how fast the speed is, the shooter will not be able to react at all.”
Gao Zhendong nodded: "Indeed, this brings up another flaw I want to say. This manual control method can be used as a backup method, but as a main control method, it is too difficult to use, with slow reaction speed and poor shooting skills. High requirements.”
