Chapter 871: Interception: Ballistic Missiles

"The mechanism of destruction of intercepting ballistic missiles is completely different from intercepting combat aircraft........."

"The reason is that the anti-aircraft missile is generally intercepted at the end, at this time the ballistic missile has entered the falling trajectory, showing a high-speed free-fall movement, only destroying its structure, it is difficult to change the falling trajectory of the ballistic missile, which will inevitably lead to the air defense missile successfully hitting the ballistic missile at the same time, the remnants of the missile that continue to fall have accurately hit the target area........."

"The reason for this is that the existing anti-aircraft missile warheads are not adapted for intercepting ballistic missile .........."

"This principle is actually very simple, in the final analysis, it still falls on the structure of ballistic missiles, especially short-range ballistic missiles, because the warhead cannot be separated from the missile body, so this missile uses an overall penetration, which leads to a very large radar reflection area of the engine and propellant tank in the tail,

And these sections have already completed their mission during the flight of the ballistic missile, the propellant has been completely used up, and at the final stage of falling ballistics, this part is completely useless, and when such a large radar reflection area acts on the seeker of the anti-aircraft missile, it is natural to attack it violently........... "

"At this point, the ballistic missile is like a cunning gecko, decisively cutting off its 'tail', allowing the anti-aircraft missile to act recklessly, because its warhead is still intact, and then, as I said before, it continues to fall towards the target along the parabolic trajectory line until it hits and explodes........."

"All in all, the fragmentation warheads of existing anti-aircraft missiles are not suitable for the interception of ballistic missiles, and there are certain problems with the guidance method, of course, the most critical thing is the fuze, you must know that at this stage almost all the fuses of anti-aircraft missiles use radio proximity bombing,

This kind of fuze has its unparalleled advantage in dealing with large targets such as aircraft, and once it encounters a small target such as a ballistic missile warhead, the radio proximity fuse is likely to be ineffective, which is also one of the important reasons why air defense missiles usually attack the tail of ballistic missiles.

It is precisely for this reason that the claims propagated by the 'Patriot' of the United States and the S-300 of the Soviet Union that they can intercept short-range ballistic missiles up to 500 kilometers can be said with the utmost responsibility to say that they are absolutely talking nonsense with their eyes open -- a foolish ............."

Luo Zhenhai smoked carefully, squinted through the window of the command cabin, looked at the shining stars in the sky, and couldn't help but think of Lu Jiadong, who volunteered to stay in Iraq, and that was a conversation between the two when they first took over the task of operating the "Falcon" air defense missile system.

One of them is whether the new air defense missile system, which will be operated under his command, has the capability to intercept ballistic missiles, because the operation manual issued to him by the group clearly indicates that the "Falcon" air defense missile system has a certain ability to intercept short-range ballistic missiles.

This made Luo Zhenjiang very confused, and he didn't understand what the scope of this "certain" was, not to mention that from he joined the army to change jobs, he has always been a professional in operating missiles to fight ~~fly~~.........

"Alas........ This Jiadong!"

After listening to Luo Zhenjiang's story, Zhou Rui on the side couldn't help but sigh deeply, and then shook his head without self-deprecation, and sighed with admiration:

"Still ahead of us........."

At this time, Zhou Rui only admired him, because he couldn't imagine how long Lu Jiadong's head was, he thought that he, a young Zhuang faction in the army, also held an important position in the General Staff, and always thought that he was far superior to others in terms of vision and contact information, even Lu Jiadong, who used to look up to the mountains, could not be compared with him;

Because of this, his admiration for Lu Jiadong gradually disappeared, and he even felt that he could be on an equal footing with him, or even a line higher, so his attitude towards Lu Jiadong also changed, and he even had different opinions on the "Falcon" air defense missile system.

However, after listening to Luo Zhenhai's words, Zhou Rui suddenly found that his self-righteous advanced thinking, profound theories, and even smug strategies and tactics were like a stream meeting the sea and a sand dune meeting a mountain compared to Lu Jiadong, and it was not at the same level at all;

What's more, Lu Jiadong did not seal these ideas in a pile of old papers, but really used them in practice, injected them into one piece of weapons and equipment, and used them as the base axis to promote the change of tactics, and then complete the reform of the entire strategy...........

If it is said that the young Zhuang faction in the General Staff Department is the vanguard of military modernization, then Lu Jiadong is the most core engine, and it is precisely because of his existence that he will provide round after round of surging impetus for military modernization:

Think of the 52 times caliber 155mm artillery that has made the artillery abandon the training manual that has been used for decades; the modular rocket artillery has given the army the ability to accurately strike and interdict firepower outside the area; and the cooperation of the Jian-9 with the high-tech aircraft has made the wings of the aviation truly full-fledged........

All this is the result of Lu Jiadong's integration of his modern combat thinking, and it is precisely because of this that Zhou Rui finally understood the true meaning of the words of General Jiang Huichuan, who presided over the daily work of the Central Military Commission before going abroad:

"If only Xiao Lu could come to the army!"

Yes, if Lu Jiadong can come to the army, the modernization of the army that they dream of will definitely be realized as soon as possible, but why doesn't he come? Zhou Rui was a little puzzled, so at this time, the rotating team members on duty opened the hatch and walked in, and the pervasive night breeze blew in, and the slight chill made him feel excited.

Even if he remembered something, he raised his eyes and looked out the window, through the faint light, a mighty and majestic "Falcon" air defense missile launcher stood in the depths of the desert, and I don't know how long it took, a smile of incomprehensibility appeared on his face, and he nodded to himself:

"I see!"

"Well?....... What do you understand?"

Luo Zhenjiang on the side listened to Zhou Rui's muttering and couldn't help but be a little curious, but Zhou Rui smiled and waved his hand: "It may be right, it may not be right, but no matter what, I can still be sure that Jiadong is definitely not engaged in this 'Falcon' air defense missile system to make money, he must have a complete set of plans, although the specific situation is unknown, but I can assert that this system will definitely become the backbone of the future air defense field!"

Luo Zhenjiang was a little dizzy by Zhou Rui's misty words, but fortunately, he understood the last sentence, which made his slightly old and honest face finally show a hearty laugh, as if a general had won a big victory, and he couldn't be more happy;

You must know that the two of them don't know how many times they have argued about the performance of the "Falcon" air defense missile, and they are always evenly matched, but they didn't expect Zhou Rui, who was fighting against him today, to suddenly disarm and surrender, although Luo Zhenhai didn't know the reason for this, but as long as Zhou Rui admitted that the "Falcon" air defense missile was a good thing, it was enough, so Luo Zhenhai stretched out his big hand and patted Zhou Rui's arm, laughed and said:

"You've finally approved of Falcon!haha........ Why don't you see it with your own eyes?"

"I don't think you Lao Luo will make people wait too long!"

Luo Zhenjiang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but it didn't take long for him to laugh again, patted Zhou Rui's shoulder fiercely, and said loudly:

"Haha....... Good guys, they're all roundworms in my belly........"

Zhou Rui is right, Luo Zhenjiang will indeed not let people continue to wait, the reason why he has made no achievements in the first round of interception, in addition to the United States taking the lead with the support of the integrated combat system, more importantly, Luo Zhenjiang does not want to start the interception operation rashly;

After all, this kind of actual high-speed terminal interception is the first time for the entire operation training team, and no one can be 100% sure, and it is precisely because of this that Luo Zhenjiang, who adheres to the principle of not fighting uncertain battles, "generously" "cede" sending and receiving to the "patriots" of the US military;

And he activated a full set of integrated electronic surveillance system, conducted all-round monitoring of incoming missiles and US military interceptions, and looked for relevant reference experience, anyway, they were all on the territory of other countries, and whether they lost or not, it had little to do with their own side, so Comrade Luo, who had been a professional ~~fly~~ machine for more than 20 years, had no psychological burden when engaging in these actions.

It is precisely for this reason that when the fierce battle between the US "Patriot" and the "Scud" was in full swing, Luo Zhenjiang and his team collected a large amount of valuable data, thus confirming Lu Jiadong's basic theory of ballistic missile interception.

"This time, it's time for our 'Falcon' to appear............" (To be continued.) )
