With the difficulties being broken through one by one, the rocket artillery has entered the final finalization, compared to the previous exercise, not only the speed is faster, the previous rocket artillery, the whole process is flying below 700 kilometers, compared to ordinary weapons, it is considered fast, but the distance of 70 kilometers, it takes 6 minutes to fly, it is too slow, and now the speed has increased by more than 3 times, at most 2 minutes, or even a minute and a half minutes of flight time, which greatly increases the power of rocket artillery and the ability to break defenses.

After the aerodynamic structure is solved, the research and development of rocket artillery, there is no difficulty, the manufacture of rocket artillery is certain, the key is only the cost, in terms of the power of rocket artillery, generally higher than the same caliber of high-explosive bombs, although the weapon, there is no clear who is strong and who is weak, but the destructive power reaches a certain extent, this weapon has the need to manufacture, this is a weapon that can increase the strength of the Chinese army.

When the price of rocket artillery shells was reduced to about 20 times that of mortar shells of the same caliber, that is, when it was 4 times that of artillery of the same caliber, rocket artillery had the possibility of manufacturing, not to mention that the price continued to decrease, and finally reached 5 times that of mortar shells of the same caliber, that is, a little higher than high-explosive shells of the same caliber, but the lethality and coverage brought were completely different.

At the time of the experiment, the smallest rocket artillery shell was 107 mm, and the largest even reached 450 mm, but in the end, more than 400 mm were transferred to the rocket department, after all, only a larger caliber will have a longer range, but the army operation, more than 100 kilometers away, for land operations, the strike has little meaning, that has exceeded the scope of the theater of operations, the use of rocket artillery, it is better to use more accurate air force bombing.

In the end, the research institute in the caliber selection, starting from 107, 207, the maximum is 307, 107 and 207 have no problem, is the first to determine, 307 has been hesitating, although the cost of 307 is a little more expensive, but the power is far greater than 207, finally, in terms of the actual situation of the battlefield, 107 and 207 are the most commonly used, although 307 is powerful, but the cost is also high, compared with long-range strategic artillery, especially compared with 155 artillery, there is no absolute advantage, both sides have their own advantages, and even under certain circumstances, the domestic 155 still has the upper hand, and in the end, two 107-mm rocket launchers and 207-mm rocket launchers were determined.

Both calibers can be launched as multiple rocket launchers, and even under certain circumstances, 107 is easier to achieve, after all, he is a little smaller, but in fact, 107 is rarely launched in the form of multiple tubes, and is more commonly used as a guerrilla artifact, mainly equipped with special forces and below the battalion, not in 12 tubes, it is flexibly divided into different components.

Unlike other artillery, rocket artillery does not require cooling of the barrel for continuous firing. Ordinary artillery requires special steel and excellent craftsmanship to ensure shooting accuracy and range. The 107 Fire does not need it, and the rocket engine of the 107 Fire is sprayed diagonally, and it spins after being launched, so it is a fairly simple weapon to operate even if there is no barrel.

The most important thing is that after China's modification and simplification, even in a harsh environment, with a stone to prop up, with a few batteries to ignite, you can launch out, this mobility is better than mortar shells, mortars can not only hold shells fired casually, even elite mortar operators, it is not simply can be trained, must be launched by professional personnel, after all, mortars are curved guns, to grasp the landing point, not only need skilled operation skills, It is also necessary to have a certain amount of research on the curve data, either to learn mathematics well, or to operate it countless times, and the instinct of the body has been formed.

But rockets, he is not a curved artillery, he is inertial guidance, that is to say, as long as the angle is correct, it is a slightly direct aiming process, a simple caliper can support the launch of rocket artillery, as long as there is a little training, know the three points and one line, figure out how to support the shell to a certain angle, you can use mortars to attack, with considerable power. Even because the weight of the 107 rocket launcher is relatively light, it can be flexibly loaded on a lot of motor vehicles, such as jeeps and light armored vehicles, a four-by-four rocket cabin is enough to fit 16 gun barrels, and after being loaded at one time, it can be launched in a short time.

107 mm rocket artillery, is a conventional weapon, in addition to special forces equipment, will also be equipped to combat units below the battalion, as an important supplement to conventional firepower and mortars, this will also be among the rocket artillery, the largest sales, because the price of 107, after all, the price of 100 mm high-explosive howitzer, but the use of more flexible, simple rocket shells and barrels, a little heavier than 120 mortars, but far below the 100 mm howitzer, but in an instant firepower, it is equivalent to 100 mm howitzers, 3 shots, or even 5 shots.

If the 107 rocket artillery is a volume, then the 207 howitzer is used as a strategic force, not equipped at the grassroots level, but the scale of the group army, because when the rocket artillery is launched, the fire is soaring, and it is not suitable for being arranged in the place where the dogs and teeth of the two sides are intertwined, and the enemy's artillery covers the range, which is when the enemy has an advantage, the role of strategic suppression, reducing the casualties of the occupying army, or sneak attack There is no artillery around to cover the forward base, airfield, or even infantry assembly area, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, Dozens of rockets with great power can be fired, and this speed and firepower projection ability are first-class.

The combat part of the 207 rocket launcher is as high as 55 kilograms, and the power of the explosion is terrifying, once it is formed, the attack power will be very huge, and even special bombs will be developed in the future, not only high-explosive bombs. A rocket launcher has 12-16 rocket artillery tubes, although the rocket artillery can not be fired continuously at the same time, so easy to ignite the rocket artillery, but one shot, according to the program, less than one second apart launch, 16 rockets, enough to complete all the launches in less than 20 seconds, the rocket artillery will be about 80 meters per second of the initial velocity, in the middle of the non-stop acceleration, The final hit will be faster than Mach 1.7, that is, more than 550 meters per second, so it will take less than 2 minutes, fly over an area of 55-70 kilometers, and then concentrate on a radius of 300 meters to explode, a total of 600 kilograms of ********, and a large amount of residual fuel, exploding in a range of 300 meters, which is huge, absolutely much larger than heavy artillery.

The power of heavy artillery lies in the accuracy and the power of the unit, even if it is a large scale of heavy artillery, when aiming at a target for salvo fire, there is always a gap, to ensure that dozens of heavy artillery, in a certain period of time, hit the same area, this is more difficult than training an elite gunner, but for rocket artillery, this is no problem.

Rocket artillery are all inertial guidance, aiming at the same direction when attacking, itself is a covering attack, especially when the accuracy is aimed within the range of 300 meters, the rocket is fired every less than a second, and the difference when landing is almost negligible, without considering other problems, with the help of the barrel and launch adjustment, it can be ensured that the error when landing does not exceed 10 seconds.

What can you do in 10 seconds, a car with a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, 10 seconds can only run more than 100 meters, the limit of people is about the same, 10 seconds 100 meters, it is already the world record at the end of the 20th century, until the later period of time someone ran to less than 10 seconds, but in this time, including the vehicle, can not escape the 300-meter attack range, as long as the aiming, the rocket hits the past, except for hard resistance, there is no other way.

The most critical thing is the range of 207 rocket artillery, 107 can exceed the range of 50 kilometers, 207 has reached 90 kilometers, even under the premise of ensuring accuracy, it can also reach 70 kilometers, which has far exceeded the range of ordinary artillery,

Even if China improves its artillery technology, the range of the general 155 heavy gun has exceeded 25 kilometers, and even reached 30, or even 35 kilometers, but compared with the maximum range of 75 kilometers, it is really not a little bit and a half, even 155 cannot be compared with the United States, unless the 155 completely completes the self-tightening of the tube body and the bottom emptying of the projectile, but even if it is modified in this way, the range of the 155 is only about 60, and the shortest range of 70 kilometers of the 207 is also 10 kilometers.

In the Air Force and Navy, a distance of 10 kilometers is not a short distance, not to mention the Army, if the soldiers only use their legs, it takes more than an hour to run, but for the rocket, the fastest time, only 20 seconds, which is a long distance for any person.

In particular, with the help of reconnaissance planes, as long as there are sufficient numbers of rocket artillery vehicles on the chassis of motor vehicles, the rocket artillery will form a covering in less than half a minute, and this power is not generally imaginable.

Rocket artillery may have the disadvantage of taking it like this, like Cheng Biting Jin, there are only three axes, to be exact, there is only one axe, after the loading, the rocket artillery vehicle must be transferred, he does not have the ability to continue fighting, and the protection is relatively fragile, once it encounters the blow of counterattack artillery, it is easy to lose.

The advantages are huge, the disadvantages are equally obvious, but on the whole, the advantages are greater than the disadvantages, the preliminary experiment of power, Yang Yuanzhao understood the performance of the rocket artillery vehicle, and was very satisfied with it, which has basically reached, and exceeded the power of the Katyusha of the Soviet Union in World War II, the reason why the Katyusha has so much power is because in a sudden attack, a surprise attack on a German transfer station, in just 10 seconds, all the trains and guards at the station German army, suffered a devastating blow, That's the power of rocket artillery.

At present, China produces rocket artillery, in terms of speed, may be similar to Katyusha, in fact, most of the rocket artillery is about the same, excessive chasing speed, but the final increase is one-tenth of a second, or even one hundredth of a second, which is not much benefit for actual combat, rather than putting the goal on this, it is better to improve the power of rocket artillery.

This is also what Yang Yuanzhao thinks at present, the power of rocket artillery comes from the combat warhead, on the 207 mm rocket artillery, it has a full 55 kg combat part, even if it is loaded with China's most advanced explosives, it is not enough to increase the power very high, 207 is much more expensive than 107, just for routine use, which is not enough to exert his power.

But what warhead to make? Nuclear weapons are definitely not good, not to mention that nuclear weapons cannot be reduced to such a small extent, the suitcase nuclear bomb developed by the Soviet Union in later generations, his weight is enough, but the system should be the size of a suitcase, which has exceeded the 207 mm rocket artillery warhead, although it can be adjusted, but at present, China's nuclear technology, when it is still accumulated in the initial aspect, not even a light water and graphite reactor has not been made, and even whether nuclear energy can be used, is an unknown time, suitcase nuclear bombEven in later generations, it was the most cutting-edge technology at the end of the 20th century, and it was simply impossible.

So to ensure that the warhead is small enough, light enough, and powerful enough, you can only use incendiary bombs, compared with ordinary explosives, coagulation ****** and the like, the energy is higher, generally more than several times that of general explosives, but China's coagulation ****** is quite huge, only to reach a sufficient volume, in order to reach the critical point of explosion, China also only seeks the power of coagulation ******, and does not consider the problem of his miniaturization, now, by the way, it is mentioned on the agenda, Yang Yuanzhao also took the initiative to provide them with two directions of thermite and thermobaric bomb, and the project has been approved.

In later generations, the combination of rocket artillery and the second generation of air bombs was only proposed at the end of the 20th century, after all, the latter only appeared in the Vietnam War, unexpectedly developed, the second generation of technology, about to the late 80s, or even the 90s, gradually matured, although the combination of air bombs and rocket artillery, to a certain extent, the perfect combination, but the missiles of later generations have been mature enough, the combination of strategic missiles and nuclear weapons, is the biggest killer, the projection method of solidifying ****** is mostly air drop, There's no need to spend any more effort researching.

I have to say that the birth of many things is a little untimely, such as turboprops, if he is in the era of piston engines, he can change the world, just like China now, directly over the piston engine, to the turboprop, China's excellence in materials science, almost cut off the possibility of replication by others, so that it can not only ensure the advantage, but also large-scale installation, why not.

Solidification ******, the combination of air bombs and rockets, and even rocket artillery, will be a new highlight, as long as this is completed, the missile in the embryonic state also has the possibility of actual combat, after all, the coverage of the air bomb is huge, the power is huge, in order to carry such a weapon, an expensive missile, it is still acceptable.
