After all the information about the new anti-ship missile was understood, Yang Hui at this time had to admit that this was a meeting that made people feel extremely happy, at least the military used the Gulf War as a mirror to show its truest side.

Not to mention anything else, the new generation of anti-ship missiles proposed by the Navy far exceeds Yang Hui's previous predictions, at least in terms of design thinking, it has reached the forefront of the world.

What is the subsonic combined anti-ship missile, after careful study, you will find that this thing has always had a sense of brushing, but it only stayed at the stage of a little sense of storage, they can almost always be regarded as soy sauce storage before the nineties, at most it has developed to the stage of model competition, but in the end, all of them have been abandoned without a leak.

But this is absolutely not to say that the combined subsonic anti-ship missile missile has no future, these are only because the anti-ship missile development powers before the nineties did not have much idea of this kind of thing, coupled with the technical difficulty, so there has not been much development, but now the Republic has found the inherent shortcomings of the C-801 series of subsonic anti-ship missiles, then it is necessary to start solving the problem.

"Good! The plan proposed by the Third Academy is quite interesting, the subsonic stage uses a turbojet engine for cruise flight to increase the range of the missile, and in the final terminal attack stage, a rocket engine is used to accelerate the warhead to a speed of Mach 2-3, which is not too difficult to implement. ”

Can there be no value realized? When Yang Hui first heard the Navy's new-generation anti-ship missile plan, there was only one missile very similar to this plan left in his head, that is, a project that was not completed by the former Soviet Union: the 3M-54 series of Alpha anti-ship missiles.

This missile is one of the various unfinished black technologies in the typical Soviet period, but it is also a very lucky missile, and its luck lies in the fact that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia just breathed a sigh of relief, and continued the project as soon as possible. In the end, an artifact was finally achieved: the club anti-ship missile family.

This missile can also be ranked among the top five anti-ship missiles in the world in the 21 st century, and only such a missile can make it possible for a major anti-ship missile country like the Republic to put down its position, and after the arrival of the new century, it will have to purchase some to equip the army, and then even carry out special work of localizing and imitating it.

And the republican version of the club missile, because the republic in the new century far surpasses Russia by a large margin in the microelectronics industry. As a result, there was once again an embarrassing situation in which the Republic replica far surpassed the original missile, which was codenamed YJ-18.

It can be said that the new anti-ship missile project of the Navy is simply the YJ-18 missile ahead of schedule, and the only difference is that the YJ-18 missile in the previous plane was developed with the Russian Club missile as a template, which greatly shortened the time for the missile to be finalized and developed.

Now that the project of a new generation of anti-ship missiles has been proposed, it is certainly impossible to have Russian club missiles as a reference like the previous one, and it is really necessary to carefully calculate the relationship between the new missiles and the club in this plane.

This should be the same as when the Republic developed the C-801 missile, because the same combat ideas created the C-801 missile in the 80s and the French Exocet about the same design. Until now, it is also because of the same operational ideas that the plan proposed this time will be similar to the club missile.

I know that a person with a vicious vision like Yang Hui will understand the uniqueness of this subsonic combined anti-ship missile, and Commander Zhang is smiling and touching the stubble: "That's right, developing such a missile is the best plan we have come up with after balancing technical risks and operational requirements." Therefore, we have suspended the YJ-83 project, and all the funds and scientific research talents have been switched to tackling new missiles, and we will strive to be able to finalize the No. 18 project. This missile can also be finalized synchronously. “

The Navy is not small, if this missile can be put into service at the same time when the J-18 is completed. After that, the J-18 can also brag when it goes out, and it has to shout that it is an aircraft carrier killer to play this noble identity, that is, it is necessary to take the lead now, otherwise in a few years, people will dare to claim that it is an aircraft carrier killer if it is an anti-ship missile, and it will sound like no deterrent at that time.

"If that's the case. After our J-18 is finalized, it will be the day of the real aircraft carrier killer, and it is not yet known what the number of this missile is? In the future, it will be easier to call it when talking about it internally. ”

Every time he names his main weapon, it is when Yang Hui is most excited, but to be honest, like this kind of missile that has a prototype stored in the previous plane and is in service, Yang Hui actually very much hopes that it can be named according to the previous one. so as not to be confused.

I don't know what kind of magic Yang Hui's idea has, this time the new missile number is really the same as he thought, or the previous Eagle Strike 18 is used as the number, as for the reason for this, it is actually very simple.

"The number is easy to say, this missile is not just for the J-18 project supporting the project, so after our army and the Third Academy discussed, it was unanimously decided to name the new missile Eagle Strike 18, and the number is also 18, which can be collectively referred to as the "No. 18 Project". Now you will be happy, our navy has developed a missile, and even the number has to accommodate your J-18, but don't let us down! ”

Although the meaning is different, Yang Hui is even happier.

After quickly thanking the leaders for their support and love, Yang Hui also wondered if he wanted to repay the favor, the development of the Eagle Strike 18 was so intense, and Southwest Science and Industry should try to help as much as possible, such as an engine that accounts for a very important proportion in the research and development of missiles.

After raising his eyebrows, he said a little mysteriously: "Just now I heard about some general design ideas of the Eagle Strike 18 missile, and finally found a situation: whether the missile has a range or not, it all depends on the two-stage cruise engine section, so we have some ideas in the southwest science and industry, and I think it should be helpful for the research and development of this missile." ”

When it attracted everyone's attention, he carefully explained: "First of all, the weight of the Eagle Strike 18 missile is not light, and the weight of nearly 2 tons is certainly not enough for the small turbojet used on the C-802 missile that has just been finalized, and the fuel consumption of the turbojet engine does not seem to be ideal, so in the end we have to use a small thrust turbofan engine, and in this regard, we Southwest Science and Industry just have a mature engine that can be used." ”

To say that the missile engine of Southwest Science and Industry, that is, the two small engines that were previously obtained from the Madasic company, one is used on the X-35 missile, and the other is used on the X-55 missile, of which the X-55 missile is a subsonic long-range cruise missile called Tomahawksky, and the missile weighs 1.7 tons.

The size of the X-55 missile is roughly the same as that of the YJ-18, both the diameter and the length of the bullet are very different, but in terms of weight, because the YJ-18 has a weight of nearly 2 tons, it is naturally 300 kg more than the 1.7 tons, but these are also minor problems, as long as they are moderately optimized, these can be overcome.
