Chapter 622: Sandfly Missile

Tower of Babel High-Tech Center.

Countless technicians praised a missile in front of them, which has a metallic luster, a sharp front end, four circular air intakes in the back, and two sets of wings in front and rear, which can be folded and relatively large.

When Mhammad walked in, the technicians were still working on the dismantling and mapping.

"President Mhammad!" At this moment, Shostakovich, who was sitting at the door drinking water, saw President Mhammad walking in, and immediately shouted loudly, his heart full of excitement.

"Well, Shaw, good job." Mhammad said: "Even such a big killer weapon can be brought to us." ”

"Report, as long as the president orders, even if it is a spaceship, I can get it!" Shostakovich said this with confidence.

Now in the Soviet Union, with the economic reforms, there is a trend, that is, to make money! There are many ways to make money, for example, those in the military can use the power in their hands, take advantage of the loopholes in the army, and wantonly smuggle arms, for example, the missile in front of you was obtained from the warehouses of the Black Sea Fleet!

Mhammad naturally attaches great importance to this missile, because this missile is a supersonic anti-ship missile of the Soviets П-270 'ΠœΠΎΡΠΊΠΈΡ‚' (3M80), NATO code SS-N-22, Sandfly anti-ship missile!

The biggest feature of this missile is the ability to fly at supersonic speeds, ordinary anti-ship missiles, whether it is the American Harpoon, the French Exocet, or the Chinese Eagle Strike, are all high-subsonic anti-ship missiles, using rocket thrust or small turbojet engines, the speed will not exceed Mach 0.8. And now this anti-ship missile, with a maximum speed of more than Mach 3!

This means that the other party's ability to react will be greatly reduced! Due to the influence of the curvature of the earth. The general ship-borne air defense radar can effectively detect anti-ship missiles flying close to the sea surface at a distance of no more than 20 kilometers, and the average subsonic anti-ship missile takes 70 seconds; The Sandfly supersonic anti-ship missile, calculated at a speed of Mach 2.4, can reach the target in 30 seconds, if calculated at a flight speed of 3.8 Hz. It takes 20 seconds to arrive.

At such a short distance, even if it is an Aegis warship, it only has a short reaction time, and it is difficult to achieve effective protection, this anti-ship missile was specially developed by the Soviets to break through the American Aegis system.

In later generations, the entire line of modern-class destroyers, including this anti-ship missile, was introduced by Huaxia and became the warship with the largest displacement in Huaxia. At that time, the media was overwhelmingly propagandized that the Sandfly (i.e., Sunburn) anti-ship missiles on the battleship were aircraft carrier killers and were specially used against US aircraft carrier formations. In fact, this is a bit exaggerated, the sandfly has a supersonic range of only about 120 kilometers, and it is simply impossible to penetrate the protective net of the aircraft carrier formation, you know, the protective distance of the aircraft carrier formation is at least four or five hundred kilometers, and the outermost layer is the F-14 fighter. The Hyundai class, if it wants to launch an attack on the aircraft carrier without knowing whether it is alive or dead, has not yet entered the distance where it can be launched. It was intercepted by an overwhelming number of aircraft carriers. At that time, Huaxia acquired modern-class destroyers, mainly for the area anti-aircraft missiles above.

However, if the combat effectiveness of the Sandfly anti-ship missile is doubted because of this, it is a big mistake, although it cannot deal with the entire aircraft carrier formation and bully a lone surface ship. That's absolutely no problem, it's impossible to act together in an aircraft carrier formation all the time, that's too expensive.

The Sandfly anti-ship missile, which weighs four tons and weighs 0.3 tons with a warhead, can easily send a warship of tens of thousands of tons to the bottom of the sea. All it takes is one shot!

In later generations, the United States did not develop such anti-ship missiles, the most powerful attack force of the United States, is the aircraft carrier formation, which is the carrier-based aircraft above, and the Soviet Red Navy, which cannot compete with the aircraft carrier formation in the ocean, especially the influence of the missile victory theory, the Soviet Union developed a series of supersonic anti-ship missiles.

Now, Pakistan only has YJ-81 series anti-ship missiles, which is obviously not enough, it must have sharper arrows! Therefore, Mhammad originally planned to make a deal with the Soviet Union, exchanging a large number of Pakistani light industrial products for this anti-ship missile, and he had a good personal relationship with Gorbachev.

But, who knows, the Soviets actually refused! Although they even sell Su-27 fighters everywhere, they are not willing to export such missiles!

As a result, Mhammad had no choice but to use other methods, and Shostakovich, who had been instructed, quickly completed the task and got such a big thing from the Soviet Union.

"Mr. President!" The other technicians stood up one after another and greeted Mhammad, who looked at these people, all of whom were valuable missile experts from Pakistan, some of whom had also studied in the Soviet Union and China, and who were now all gathered here to prepare for the imitation of this anti-ship missile.

"Hmm." Mhammad said: "Is it difficult for us to map this anti-ship missile? ”

"The surface of this missile is titanium alloy, and we already have a mature titanium alloy processing system in China, and there is no problem with the manufacture of the shell." A technician said.

The layman looks at the liveliness, and the insiders look at the doorway, the metallic luster on the surface of this bullet body is unique to titanium alloy. Since the missile will fly to a speed of Mach 3, the temperature of the warhead will be up to hundreds of degrees, ordinary materials will not work, and the Soviets did not hesitate to use titanium alloys.

"The focus is on the engine." Another technician said: "If you want to get the speed of Mach 3, you have to use a ramjet engine, and this missile of the Soviets uses an integrated ramjet and rocket engine, and we have to conquer the technology of this engine." ”

"Avionics equipment is also the focus, the speed is fast, the response speed of the control system must also keep up, can not lag, we are confident in the electronics."

The division of labor is clear, each has its own research aspects, and the focus is still the engine! A ramjet engine is a jet engine, but unlike jet engines that require complex compressors, combustion chambers, and turbines, this engine is fairly simple in construction, without any rotating parts, and contains only an expanded intake duct and a convergent or convergent-expanded outlet. When the engine moves forward at high speeds, air is pressed into the intake tract. Then the air flows through the expanded duct, the speed decreases, the pressure increases, which also plays the role of the compressor of an ordinary engine, and then the combustion chamber, under the action of fuel combustion, the red-hot expanded gas accelerates through the outlet duct and discharges, generating thrust.

For example, a ramjet engine with a cross-section of only 1 square meter can produce a thrust of about 30,000 kilograms when flying at Mach 3.5 at an altitude of 11 kilometers. And it will not weigh more than 1 ton, and the thrust-to-weight ratio will be up to 30! Moreover, the faster the speed, the greater the thrust, and the excellent performance makes it the first choice for high-speed aircraft, but there is a congenital defect, that is, it must reach a certain speed, generally more than Mach 1, so that the air can be pressed into the combustion chamber.

So, missiles with ramjet engines are equipped with rocket engines in the rear of the ramjet engine. When the missile is launched, the rocket engine is the first to ignite the work; When the missile reaches a certain speed and altitude, the rocket engine stops working, and then the ramjet engine starts working, and finally the missile is sent to the designated target.

This anti-ship missile uses a unique liquid-ramjet combination engine with a detachable booster. It is a clever combination of a common liquid ramjet engine and a solid rocket engine, and the technology is simple and reliable. Four semicircular air intakes are located in the middle of the missile, and the booster is placed in the combustion chamber of the engine. After launch, the booster accelerates the missile to the working speed of the ramjet engine, after which the burned booster falls off, at which point the collapsible flame stabilizer in the monolithic liquid ramjet engine unfolds, the intake baffle breaks, air intake begins, the igniter ignites, and the engine begins to work.

"It would be nice to have specialized technical information." The engineer in charge of surveying and mapping the engine said that although it is possible to map and map now, he does not know why it was designed in the first place, and it cannot reach the original technical level.

"I've bought an engineer at the Rainbow Design Bureau." "This engineer will help us to send us the materials from the time of development," Shostakovich said. ”

"Shaw, you're so good!" Hearing Shostakovich say this, the technician looked at Shostakovich with wide eyes, his eyes were full of joy, and it seemed that he was about to kiss him.

"Don't look at me with such adoration." Shostakovich quipped: "It's all our great president, arranged in advance." ”

"President Mhammad!" All the technicians looked at Mhammad.

"This anti-ship missile will become a big killer weapon for our navy." Mhamad said: "I hope that everyone will carry forward the style of not being afraid of hardship and tiredness, and imitate this anti-ship missile as soon as possible, in addition to the launch of warships, it will also be changed to air-launched and submarine-launched, as well as shore-based anti-ship missiles, which is related to our national defense and security of Pakistan!" ”

"Yes." Everyone replied, "We will certainly live up to the president's expectations." ”

In addition to equipping warships, what Mhammad values most is air-launching, although in the Soviet Union, the air-launched Kh31 air-to-ship missile of the Stellar Design Bureau, and the shipboard is the 3M80 ship-to-ship missile of the Rainbow Design Bureau, but the two missiles are almost the same.

Air-launched can greatly increase the firing range, using the Tomcat fighter mount, at least the effective range of 200 kilometers can be reached, and when the time comes, your own air force will have another big killing weapon! (To be continued......)
