Chapter 469: The Rebirth of Anti-aircraft Artillery (Anti-Aircraft Artillery).
Jiang Chen saw that neither side spoke, so he said, "Then let me say a few words." ”
Jiang Chen looked at Shi Lan and said, "Your idea is very good, it makes my eyes light up." I'll tell you the truth, this is also in my plan, but I haven't brought it up. I actually thought about it and thought about it in a similar way to Hongyi's thoughts. The main consideration is that if you add more barrels and calibers, your own volume and weight will increase significantly, and its ammunition supply will also increase, and the expendability of ammunition and materiel will increase significantly. In general, to put it bluntly, there are actually two problems. The first is how such a large volume and weight, as well as the consumption of ammunition, maintain its flexibility and mobility. ”
Jiang Chen looked at everyone and said, "This point can't be solved by ourselves alone, so I'll find another way." As you know, there is a car factory in my company, and now the first car it produced has been sold out of the factory. But what you don't know is that we are developing an off-road vehicle with excellent off-road ability and high maneuverability, as well as a truck with a higher load and traction capacity. So if we equip these weapons on these off-road vehicles and trucks, or rely on them to deliver them, then will we solve this problem of mobility? ”
Glancing at Wang Hongyi, Jiang Chen continued: "This second question, is it necessary. At this point, we should look at this problem from two aspects. First of all, the value of the ground target is relatively low, and if the consumption of a piece of equipment is greater than the value of the target it is treated, then it is not cost-effective and unnecessary. And as far as Gatling is concerned, its structure is more complex than that of ordinary machine guns, which makes it more expensive and costly, troublesome to use, more difficult to equip, and more difficult to maintain and costly. If it does not activate the role of absoluteness, then its value will also be weakened. There will also be no troops to equip it. With the gradual progress and development of military technology and combat methods, there will be a three-dimensional comprehensive combat embodiment without a rear on the battlefield, and the traditional large-scale ground warfare in the past, with large groups charging out. The Grand Corps Decisive Battle will not be on the horizon. Non-symmetrical warfare will become the mainstream of future warfare, and the operational idea of using it to deal with the enemy's large-scale targets will also become obsolete. ”
Jiang Chen saw Shi Lan, who was a little anxious, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, after listening." Then someone is going to ask. Since it doesn't help much, why should I support it? So can we think differently, if we don't use it against ground targets, but against air targets and sea targets?"
Seeing that everyone was interested, Jiang Chen continued: "Yes, to deal with air targets. With the development of science and technology and the diversification of the form of warfare, the proportion of the air force in the army is getting higher and higher, and from the perspective of the current advanced air forces in Europe and the United States, this trend is also present. We now have two major world military systems, the Warsaw Pact and NATO. Their investment in the Air Force is also enormous. Then in this way, the threat of the Air Force to the Army will also increase. In this way, if the combat effectiveness and strike resistance of the army are to be preserved, more advanced air defense systems must be needed. Let's not talk about missiles, let's talk about anti-aircraft artillery first. Some people say that with the development of anti-aircraft missiles, anti-aircraft artillery will still be anti-aircraft guns and will soon retire from the stage of history, but I think this view is wrong. For a long time in the future, anti-aircraft artillery will not be replaced by missiles. The first is that it's very cheap, the cost of a bullet or a shell is much cheaper than a missile, even if you use more bullets or shells. That's nowhere near the cost of the missile. ”
Jiang Chen glanced at Wang Hongyi and then continued: "This second one, that is, its anti-interference. Compared with missiles, anti-aircraft artillery shells have the advantages of fast rate of fire, continuous dense barrage, undisturbed trajectory of artillery shells, and high efficiency of close-range air defense. The advent of programmable ammunition also alleviated the problem of accuracy of anti-aircraft guns. When the distance is long. Anti-aircraft artillery groups can use barrages to force local attack aircraft or bombers to change course, which is not possible with missiles. Anti-aircraft missiles, especially the current anti-aircraft missiles, mainly use this infrared tracking guidance, as well as radar active guidance, these two methods are easily interfered with by enemy aircraft. Thus losing the target. For example, the infrared jamming bomb on this aircraft has great interference with infrared air defense missiles, and this is also the main anti-missile device equipped by the Air Force at present. There is also this radar active-guided missile, which is very much affected by the magnesium belts dropped by the enemy. Although these are a small aspect of the missile's shortcomings, this is precisely the blind spot of the anti-aircraft missile, and in some cases, it is almost fatal. Then there is a great need for an anti-aircraft weapon to make up for it, and there is no doubt that this anti-aircraft artillery, especially high-speed artillery, is undoubtedly the best choice. ”
"At present, although large-caliber anti-aircraft guns are gradually being replaced by cut-to-air missiles, all countries are still equipped with and developing a considerable number of antiaircraft artillery systems below 40 mm, and widely use multi-tube linkage, equipped with radar or photoelectric fire control systems, and three-in-one self-propelled anti-aircraft guns mounted on the same vehicle with artillery and fire control. In recent years, the air defense system that has been developed and begun to be installed by various countries that integrates antiaircraft guns and air defense missiles can be called an important development trend of modern air defense weapons. Modern warfare has proven that anti-aircraft guns are an important part of modern anti-aircraft weapons systems. Several recent real combat battles have shown that anti-aircraft missiles are not omnipotent, and they cannot completely replace anti-aircraft guns. From the mid-60s, small-caliber anti-aircraft guns were again "favored". It has a fast response, a high hit rate, and a multi-barrel concentrated launch, which can quickly destroy enemy planes attacking at low altitudes. At present, various countries are studying various new methods to improve the effectiveness of antiaircraft artillery in antiaircraft combat, and antiaircraft artillery is developing in the direction of small-caliber artillery, self-propelization, and artillery shell guidance. The integrated anti-aircraft weapon system of missiles and anti-aircraft guns will exert tremendous power in future wars. ”
After inspecting everyone, Jiang Chen concluded: "At present, I think that Shi Lan's idea is in line with the current development trend of countries around the world. I'm very happy and happy about that. I am glad that you can take the initiative to explore the research and development of new technologies and new equipment. Only an equipment R&D personnel who closely follow this advanced operational thinking will be able to better understand what the troops need, and will be able to develop equipment that is widely praised by the troops and the market. ”
