Chapter 1077: Backfire in the New Era
Ballistic anti-ship missiles for stealth fighters, it is simply a perfect match, the only problem is that the current belly of the fourth belly of the main bomb bay space by the side bomb bay squeezed out part of the space, even after the continuous efforts of the designer, in the end can only ensure that the main ammunition compartment of the fighter carries two medium-range air-to-air missiles, and if it is replaced by a 700 kg ballistic cruise missile, then it can only carry one.

A fighter can only carry a 700-kilogram ballistic anti-ship missile, which is also a normal performance of the middle four, otherwise this is not the combat capability that a medium fighter should have.
"It is not impossible to match a new anti-ship missile for the middle four, but the funds required for the development of this new missile will definitely not be less, and considering the extreme requirements for the size of the missile body, the missile wing needs to be designed very small, and more will consider the use of gas rudder to control the direction, but these are still relatively easy to solve the design problems, mainly depending on the research and development funds."
The early anti-ship missiles almost without exception have chosen the design of the wing surface control direction, but for ballistic anti-ship missiles, the way of wing surface control direction is not very suitable, for hypersonic flying missiles, it is best to choose gas rudder to control the flight trajectory, and the built-in requirements of the bomb bay of the middle four are also destined to have a large wing surface design for this anti-ship missile.
To be honest, at this time, Hongdu's chief designer Shi really didn't expect that the UAE would suddenly make such a thing this time, for this kind of requirement that had not been considered at all in the design of the fourth middle school before, and now suddenly it jumped out to ask for more sea strike capabilities at the beginning of the prototype manufacturing of the aircraft, which is indeed a bit confusing.
How to say it, this situation for Hongdu, just like the last F-35 fighter was put forward by the allies of the United States, and the F-35 must have air supremacy combat capability, it is all after the project initiator has set the tone, the new participating countries impose requirements, and the final result......
Needless to say, everyone knows that the same F-35 has been sent too many requirements, although the air combat capability has been improved in the end, but the degree of improvement is not very high, fortunately, the Americans' technology is really excellent, and it really turned an attack aircraft like the F-35 into a quasi-fourth-generation fighter, although the maneuverability is the bottom of the fourth-generation, but it is also awesome enough.
Compared with the United States' allies who require a fighter to be designed on the basis of an attack aircraft, the UAE is now asking for an increase in anti-ship combat capabilities on the basis of the Zhongsi fighters, which is much simpler, after all, the Zhongsi itself has a certain ground attack capability, and Yang Hui's anti-ship combat mode is also to drop bombs outside the high-altitude defense area, which is relatively simple, and it is still possible to achieve it.
At least now Yang Hui is not the only one who has come up with a feasible way to increase anti-ship operations for the fourth middle school, as the leading designer of the middle four, the chief engineer of Shiping in Hongdu also has his own set, after thinking about the situation, he motioned for everyone to drink saliva first, and stood up and signaled that he wanted to leave first.
Seeing Chief Shi Ping standing outside waiting for him, Yang Hui was able to understand, and walked over and explained with a smile: "Come, our Chief Shi don't be angry first, the reason why I agreed in advance is mainly because I think there is an anti-ship missile design that is very good, so let's talk about it first." First of all, due to the design of the fuselage, the main bomb bay in the belly is designed to be relatively elongated, so I thought that in fact, this can actually carry an anti-ship missile the size of a Exocet missile. It's just that the traditional subsonic sea-skimming penetration anti-ship missiles are definitely ......."
As Yang Hui narrated his thoughts, Chief Shi, who was still a little puzzled, also had a light in his eyes, and even he did not expect that the fourth generation could still carry out anti-ship combat missions in this way, and when the fourth-generation aircraft was put into large-scale service in the future and could carry out anti-ship combat missions, the existential crisis of surface ships would be even greater.
I couldn't stop nodding, this is also an excitement in my heart, if the planned anti-ship combat mode can be effective, then the navy will definitely pay more attention to the middle four, and at least in the future, the navy will be able to get three-digit orders, and this is not a small amount.
"This method is very useful, the stealth fighter is equipped with a built-in ballistic anti-ship missile, which can directly penetrate the defense at supersonic stealth, and the high-altitude bomb drops to complete a lore on the surface ship, thinking that the Soviet Union's Tu-22M3 Backfire is nothing more than that, but the backfire is designed as a bomber, the radar reflection target is too large, and the deployment and operation are not as flexible as the fighter, not to mention the use and maintenance costs of the middle four, large-scale service, and air survivability have greater advantages, So this is an upgraded version of the Tu-22M3 "fighter"! ”
Not to mention, if the main bomb bay of the fourth-generation carrier-based heavy fighter also has two such ballistic anti-ship missiles in the future, I am afraid that large surface ships will directly cry, and the air defense destroyer's requirements for the detection of stealth targets will definitely be raised to an unprecedented standard.
In fact, not to mention this plane, even before the accident of the previous Yang Hui, I have never heard of the idea of this kind of stealth fighter with built-in ballistic anti-ship missiles launched at high altitude to attack surface ships, it may be that this idea requires stealth fighters on the one hand, and on the other hand, there is a need to strike large surface ships, relatively speaking, at the time of Yang Hui's accident, all countries have not had large-scale research on this aspect, and it can only be regarded as the United States' aircraft carrier is relatively lucky.
Of course, the previous plane did not appear in the kind of scheme envisioned by Yang Hui, which is also related to the development of military equipment, at that time, the subsonic sea-skimming anti-ship missile had been developed quite maturely, and the terminal flight speed was also up to several times the speed of sound.
If we add to the reason why the Republic focuses on the development of shore-launched ballistic anti-ship missiles, it is normal that this kind of combat mode has not appeared in China for a while, but with the entry into service of the fourth-generation aircraft, the exploration of new combat methods around the fourth-generation aircraft continues to deepen, and in the future, air-launched ballistic anti-ship missiles will definitely return to the world stage.
