Chapter 445 The most difficult thing is the parachute
Terminally sensitive bombs use multiple precise points to kill and achieve a full-scale strike. This evaluation may sound ordinary at first, but when you think about it carefully, it will become extremely scary.
If ammunition of the same weight accurately hits every target that needs to be hit, then compared to blowing up a large area at once, the range that can be controlled by precise strikes is definitely wider. The reason is very simple, evenly distributed The waste is greater, and it is definitely not as good as focusing on care.
Gao Zhendong began to introduce the terminally sensitive bomb to everyone, answering questions while introducing it.
“In other words, this kind of submunition can rely on different carriers to achieve any range?”
"Yes, the ammunition itself is relatively small, but despite its small size, each sub-munition actually has a large control area. Using appropriate spreading technology, multiple ammunition in one parent ammunition can be controlled It has a very large range, and every submunition strikes very accurately.”
This is a relatively new concept, a weapon that I have never been exposed to before, and Gao Zhendong is very patient.
"How small can it be? How dense can it be when delivering firepower?"
This is what people are most concerned about. If it is stupid, big, black and thick, , then everything I just said is empty. First of all, it is too heavy to be hit, and secondly, it is too expensive to hit.
Gao Zhendong drew a schematic diagram on the blackboard: "In order to ensure the power, the ammunition caliber I am currently planning is 130~140 mm. Taking our 152-caliber millimeter gun as an example, it can hold 2 sub-munitions. If it is a rocket launcher of the same caliber, it can hold more. A single rocket can hold more than 5 rockets! There are only some requirements for the caliber and length of the rocket launcher.”
"Hiss~~~~~"
Except for the people from Beijing University of Technology, most of the people here have been fighting for many years. Gao Zhendong's description sounds simple, but there is a strong murderous intent in it. , all well aware of it.
No need for precise positioning, long-range spreading, large number of ammunition, automatic homing, high hit rate, through appropriate spreading technology, whether it is a wide front or a large depth, a large group or a small cluster, it can be dealt with, and the acceleration Just a pipe.
And most importantly, it doesn’t sound too big or expensive!
If all this is true, it would be a real nightmare for the armored cluster.
A rocket launcher has 5 shells, and the rocket launcher under development has 19 tubes. This one gun alone has nearly a hundred submunitions. If a battalion of this rocket launcher fires a salvo, even if the hit rate is only 30%, taking into account other Factors, it is also possible to directly paralyze armored units above the regiment level!
No, the current rocket launcher is 130mm. It cannot fit this thing, and its length is almost the same. Moreover, the range of about 10 kilometers under study is too much of a waste of this new type of ammunition, isn’t it.
This thing hasn't even been written yet, and the artillery comrades are so excited that they want to make major changes to the equipment under development.
No, no, no, this mountain cannot be as high as the other mountain. I don’t know if this thing can be done. Hold on! Hold on!
“Let’s talk about how to hit first. How do you ensure that this ammunition can hit? We understand the most basic principle. This mechanism of automatically tracking the enemy by parachute descent is very clever. From launching to spreading , detecting enemies, it sounds like there is no problem, let’s talk about the details, infrared things seem to be relatively expensive, and there is still room for improvement in performance.”
Gao Zhendong smiled and said: "As long as all armored vehicles are activated, they will be a huge heat source, and the temperature difference with the surrounding environment is relatively large. The maximum search distance of this ammunition is about a few hundred meters. At this distance, It doesn’t even require refrigeration to meet the sensitivity requirements.”
“In this way, the problem of infrared sensitivity is solved, but what about the price?”
Gao Zhendong said confidently: “I am confident. My initial idea is to try the relatively mature and cheap lead sulfide first. If it doesn't work, you can add compressed gas refrigeration. If there are still problems, you can use a new infrared sensitive material I just developed. This material The performance far exceeds that of lead sulfide, but it is slightly more expensive, but we have already started trial production in small batches, and the price is still acceptable according to calculations."
Everyone never expected that this comrade actually had a new product in his hands. Materials, no wonder it looks confident when it comes to infrared detection.
However, there are a few people who know Gao Zhendong and know that this is Gao Zhendong’s style. His suggestions are never just castles in the air.
The leader of the National Defense Work Committee smiled and said: "As for this new material, I know that it has indeed been trial-produced in small batches and tested in batches. The performance is indeed good, and some of it has been provided to relevant units for research on other equipment systems. "
With his endorsement, the comrades in the army are completely relieved. It seems that there is no need to worry about the issue of sighting, at least from the principle line.
"Great! I wonder if this material can be used elsewhere." The comrade from the armored soldier said with great expectation.
I'm off topic, I'm off topic, I'm talking about hitting your armored target.
The leader of the National Defense Working Committee smiled and said: "Old X, let's discuss this matter separately, haha."
"Oh, oh! Okay! Okay!!" The comrade of the armored soldier understood clearly, and it seemed that he had the goods! The comrades of the Army asked another question that they were concerned about: "Well, if there is no problem in principle with the issue of accurate shooting, then how can we ensure that the shooting is bad? For tanks, the 152 heavy artillery will not miss a direct hit. It can cause fatal damage, not to mention that your charge is only half a round."
One 152 shot contains 2 submunitions, and about half of the single submunition is still needed. With the parachute and homing system, there wasn't much charge left.
Gao Zhendong said: "Leader, this ammunition is not a collision explosion, but detonates at a height of about 100 meters in the air. It uses a principle similar to concentrated energy armor-breaking to kill the top armor or engine of the tank. These two Both parts are relatively fragile, so it is quite easy to hit them. "
Everyone present knows the fragility of these two places. As long as they can be hit, the tank's combat effectiveness will be basically destroyed, at least for one. Within a battle, there is little possibility of engaging in combat.
If you want to say this, I won't be sleepy anymore. The comrade of the armored soldier became more energetic: "No, Comrade Xiao Gao, our shaped armor-piercing projectile has the best explosive height. You are about 100 meters away." , no matter how good the energy-gathering armor-piercing warhead is, it is useless."
The leader of the National Defense Work Committee shook his head: "This is not necessarily true. Comrade Zhendong made a disposable rocket launcher not long ago, and the armor-piercing depth is deep. More than 600 millimeters."
The armored soldier also shook his head: "I know that, it is indeed awesome. It was Comrade Xiao Gao who did it? But no matter how deep the penetration is, it can't change this principle. The problem is that the energy-concentrated armor-piercing weapon cannot hit that far. "
When the disposable rocket launcher was pre-ordered, the armored soldiers did not participate. It was you who were the ones to fight. It was a bit embarrassing to invite you, so Gao Zhendong was the main one. He didn't know the details of the perfect person.
Gao Zhendong nodded: "Leader, you are right, but we have developed a new ammunition. Its principle is similar to concentrated energy armor-piercing, but it is different from concentrated energy armor-piercing. Generally speaking, it is the same. The penetration depth of the caliber is not as good as that of the shaped armor-piercing warhead, but the optimal high-explosion range is very large.”
The whole place was in an uproar. It took you a long time to get all the subsystems ready, and then you came to start the project, right?
"Huh? Is there such a principle? What is the armor-piercing ability and blast range?"
"We call it a self-forged fragment or an explosively formed warhead. In terms of armor-piercing ability, We used a 35mm caliber on a gun-mounted grenade to achieve 65mm vertical static armor penetration. In terms of explosion height, the optimal explosion height range is from impact explosion to more than a thousand times the caliber! ”
This is a self-forged fragment! The correct way to use the warhead's super high explosive height is simply tailor-made for terminally sensitive bombs.
The army comrades suddenly realized: "So the gun-mounted grenade launcher that was recently put into small batch trials was made by you? No, I remember it was made by the Beijing University of Technology, right?"
Professor Luo finally had a chance to speak: "Hello, leader, I am from Beijing University of Technology, responsible for the research of gun-mounted grenades. All the principles and designs of gun-mounted grenades were completed by Comrade Gao Zhendong. We are mainly responsible for the specific Implementation and testing part. "
"So, this principle has been verified, great! "The 35mm grenade has achieved a penetration depth-to-diameter ratio of almost 2.0. Even with 130mm caliber ammunition, the penetration depth will not be ugly.
The leader of the National Defense Working Committee looked contented. Gao Zhendong was always confident in his plans when he proposed them. This time, he even completed the principle test of each subsystem of the new equipment while studying other equipment. .
It really requires theory and theory, practice and practice, technology and technology, and is extremely persuasive. It is very helpful to our industrial defense system!
In the view of the leaders of the National Defense Working Committee, Gao Zhendong is from the National Defense Working Committee, but his salary is paid by the 17th Machinery Department.
Seventeenth Machine Department: Don’t go too far, I will use him soon!
The meeting continued. Gao Zhendong gave a detailed explanation and introduction to all aspects of the terminally sensitive ammunition. The participating comrades also raised questions from time to time on areas of interest.
With the reports and Q&A, everyone’s understanding of this new ammunition became more and more profound, and they became more and more excited.
If this thing is used well, it is really possible to instantly become an organically paralyzed enemy armored group. At worst, it can also delay the enemy's attack and affect the enemy's maneuverability.
With such a thing that could take away the armored cluster at any time, who wouldn’t be on tenterhooks when assembling and maneuvering? Once you have to deal with it, trouble will come.
Seeing that things were gradually becoming clearer, the leader of the National Defense Working Committee showed his face at the right time: "Everyone, what are you doing? Do you want to do this or not? If not, I will arrange other work for Comrade Zhendong."
< br>Don't be so impatient, hurry up, I don't believe you can bear it!
After saying that, he also made a joke: "It seems that the most difficult thing about this thing now is probably the parachute."
