1240 The world's longest-range rocket launcher

(Regarding the matter of the explosion, it seems that no one has spoken, don't you want to break the change, if so, forget it!) The more updates there are, the more pirated versions will be watched, and these two days are obvious examples...... Originally, my daughter-in-law also had a birthday this month, and she was going to explode twice...... )

Small-caliber bullets began to be demonstrated in the 70s, and in 82 years the feasibility of 5.8mm heavy ammunition as a heavy machine gun and sniper rifle ammunition was discussed, and in 86 years the test was carried out, and this year the project has just been established to develop the whole system of 5.8mm heavy ammunition, ******, general-purpose machine guns, sniper rifles and scopes using the bullet.

Prior to this, the Ninth Academy began to carry out the design and development of a 5.8 mm small-caliber rifle without any demonstration, and it went through a variety of environmental tests, once the outside world knew, this would cause some waves, and Liu Yijiu was too lazy to explain these things.

Therefore, for these firearms, the Ninth Courtyard has always been hidden in the snow, and even the Blue Army is not equipped.

If Li Yunlong hadn't asked suddenly, he wouldn't even have said this.

"In terms of our vehicles, the world of the Dragon Guard series has been clear, and the main equipment is the Dragon Guard II and Dragon Guard III, and the Destroyer is currently undergoing relevant design modifications. As for the infantry combat vehicle, in addition to the wheeled type, the tracked type also has a new design, this year will be a sample trial production and some tests, should be able to be delivered to the Blue Army troops for combat tests in the middle of next year...... "The fifth district was originally the star unit of the entire Ninth Academy, but with the completion of all orders, domestic orders began to be produced, and the benefits cannot be compared with the fighter that is dozens of times more expensive.

Therefore, the limelight is not as strong as in the aircraft industry.

For this situation, the people in District 5 naturally have a sense of loss, but they have no choice but to desperately continue to design more equipment.

"These are the current research results of the Ninth Academy's conventional equipment. And, of course, missiles and rocket artillery. There's no need to go into more detail about this, right? Except for the 336 rocket launcher that was eliminated by the Blue Army, the others will equip the troops......" Liu Yijiu asked Long Yaohua.

The emergence of tactical missiles, and the range from the 8208 of 250 kilometers to the tactical support missiles with a range of 1000 kilometers under development, although the price will be much more expensive than long-range rocket artillery, but the strike accuracy is much higher, so there is no need for the Blue Army to equip these powerful but incapable of precision strikes in the already small establishment.

"336 rocket artillery is no longer equipped with troops?" Long Yaohua immediately exclaimed.

There is no introduction to this in the Blues' development plan.

"Although rocket artillery is much cheaper than missiles, but in the range of more than a certain range, in order to control accuracy, it is also necessary to increase the guidance device, it is better to develop more missiles!" Liu Yijiu said.

From the very beginning, rocket artillery has been vigorously developed by countries around the world, because the launch speed is fast enough, and under the salvo strike of multiple launchers, the power is very strong and the destructive power is strong enough.

That's one of the most ferocious of the Blues' long-range firepower at the moment.

"But missiles are more expensive, and the precision strikes carried out by missiles cannot inflict surface damage on the enemy. When encountering a large-scale build-up of enemy armored vehicles, if you use missiles to strike, the cost is too high, and the range of heavy artillery is not reached, and the role of rocket artillery is also reflected...... "As a big guy who has a preference for artillery, whether it is Qiu Yue or Li Yunlong, they are unwilling to let the Blue Army's sequence have no rocket artillery with a longer range."

"Moreover, the current range of the 336 rocket artillery is 120 kilometers, which is the ......gap between tactical missiles and short-range surface-to-surface missiles," Li Yunlong muttered, "Under the current circumstances, the 336 just fills the gap between the range of short-range surface-to-surface missiles and 8208 missiles." According to the current firepower configuration of our Blue Army's strike range, between 60 kilometers and 250 kilometers of 8208 missiles, there are 336 rocket artillery to fill the gap; And between the 8208 missile and the tactical missile with a range of 600 km, there should be rocket artillery with a range of 400 to 500 km to fill the gap......"

Not to mention disagreeing with the withdrawal of 336 rocket artillery from the Blue Army sequence, Li Yunlong even proposed to develop a longer range rocket artillery to strengthen the Blue Army's long-range support capabilities.

"Yes, the long-range fire support of the Blue Army, there is indeed a bit of a gap at this distance, and the use of missiles with a range of 600 kilometers is a bit wasteful, if the enemy carries out a large-scale build-up in this range...... Especially on the other side of the strait, to deter them, covering bombardment with rocket artillery with a range of 400-500 kilometers is the most deterrent, plus various combat components, such as cluster bombs, heavy cloud burst bombs, etc., which you are researching......" Qiu Yue also agreed with this opinion.

The idea of artillery has always occupied the mainstream in China's army building.

This is no different from the ideas of the Continental Army, which were inherited from the Soviet Union.

Rocket artillery is the most powerful weapon of conventional troops.

"This still depends on how the Ninth Academy thinks about it." Long Yaohua obviously has this attitude, "However, rocket artillery is different from missiles, the United States and the Soviet Union have negotiated, and the year before last they signed the "Treaty on the Complete Destruction of Intermediate-Range Nuclear Missiles between the Two Countries", completely destroying and completely banning medium- and short-range missiles with a range of 500 to 1,000 kilometers and medium-range missiles with a range of 1,000 to 5,000 kilometers. Although we are not covered by this treaty, we should also avoid using such an excuse against us one day in the future......"

Rocket artillery is not a missile.

Moreover, the United States and the Soviet Union have been vigorously developing various missiles in order to have a longer-range precision strike capability.

Now, as soon as the INF treaty is signed, all missiles with a range of 500-5,000 kilometers will have to be destroyed, so that if there is a conflict within this range, either a group of fighters will have to be dispatched, or it will have to attack with long-range ICBMs with a longer range......

Rocket artillery, which is not a missile, is not within the scope of the INF Treaty.

This is all about avoiding an INF Treaty.

Perhaps, the ultra-long-range Guardian rocket launcher series was also created for this thing?

However, Liu Yijiu really felt that rocket artillery with too long range did not have much effect, and even if cluster bombs and other weapons were used as warheads, they would not have much power, and the reason why rocket artillery was artillery still needed large-scale intensive bombing to produce better results, did not have the precision strike capability of missiles, and the longer the range, what it brought was a decrease in power. Immediately, he jokingly asked a few bigwigs, "From the area of 600-1000 kilometers, do we still have to develop a rocket artillery with a range of about 700 kilometers, so that our firepower configuration can be more perfect?" ”

"Of course you can. After all, the cost of rocket artillery is much lower than that of missiles. Qiu Yue nodded affirmatively.

Long Yaohua didn't say anything, but he also heard the joke in Liu Yijiu's words, "With such a long-distance range, the cost of rocket artillery will not be much lower than that of missiles, and the accuracy is not as good as missiles." There is not much necessary development ......"

"So the chief also supports the development of rocket artillery with a range of 400-500 km?" Liu Yijiu asked Long Yaohua, "Even if it is researched, it is impossible for the Blue Army to be equipped." The scale is not large, and the power is not too high......"

"It's totally necessary. After the success of the 336 rocket launcher of the Ninth Academy, the research direction of the entire research team shifted to missiles. Missiles are long-range strike weapons used as strategic and tactical support, and the cost is too high......" Long Yaohua nodded. "But if the range is too high, it is not necessary, around 400 kilometers is enough. And the cost can't be too high. ”

"Not enough money." Liu Yijiu didn't want to get such a rocket launcher at all.

China will not join the INF Treaty for at least the next 20 years.

Moreover, the United States is not so honest and destroys all medium-range and short-range missiles, otherwise it would not have so many Tomahawk missiles and other air-launched missiles.

With a long range, the warhead that the missile can carry will not be too high, and rocket artillery will not be able to have a stronger warhead unless nuclear weapons are used. Conventional weapons, rocket artillery require large-scale intensive use, while missiles are precision strikes on targets.

"Not enough money? Didn't you say at the beginning that the 336 rocket launcher can reach this range with certain design modifications, and the diameter will not increase too much? Li Yunlong was immediately dissatisfied. As you said before, the technical difficulty is not very great, the difficult thing is how to improve the accuracy of hitting. Even, this rocket artillery can be used on missile battleships! ”

In the past, the people of the Ninth Academy did have such an idea, after the successful development of the 336 rocket artillery, Liu Yijiu has always wanted to get the Guardian-2, the longest-range rocket artillery equipped by the People's Liberation Army in history, and also the longest-range rocket artillery in the world.

The Guardian-2 rocket launcher has a rocket diameter of 400 mm, a total weight of 1285 kg, and a total length of 7302 mm. It is composed of a fuse, a warhead, a control system, a solid rocket engine and a projectile body structure. Maximum flight speed Mach 5.6.

The rocket artillery is equipped with six units, which can replace a variety of warheads, and even a bomb-carrying drone can be loaded inside a rocket, with a maximum range of 480 kilometers.

At the same time, this rocket is equipped with an inertial guidance unit, and satellite guidance and laser signal guidance can be used at the end, so as to replace the more expensive short-range tactical missiles to a certain extent.

However, this is too similar to the tactical missiles at the base, so Liu Yijiu also blocked the project.

At such a long distance, even if dozens of rockets are fired in one salvo, the effect will not be too ideal. The greater role is deterrence, and the deterrence of rocket artillery is far inferior to that of missiles.
