With the order of the company commander, the 9M83 launcher outside, began to move.

The quadruple missile launcher only heard a bang, and a huge missile flew out of the launch port.

However, there was no fire in sight, there was a bang, just the sound of high-pressure air.

In the past, missiles were fired at an inclined boom, so that the missile needed to turn to the direction where the target was, otherwise the missile would go around.

The boom needs to be rotated, which delays time, so some people have the idea of launching vertically, launching the missile vertically, so that where there is a threat, the missile can be turned again. (Of course, there are also claims that such launches are more delayed.) ）

At the same time, with the development of technology, the vertical launch of missiles is already inevitable, just look at later generations, almost all warships, double boom launchers have disappeared, and they have become vertical hair.

When the boom is lifted, the missile is exposed to the outside, and the wind and sun are exposed, and the missile is prone to failure, while the vertical launch, the outside of the missile, directly wraps the transport and launch cylinder, and the missile is usually sealed inside, which greatly reduces the probability of failure.

At the same time, the boom launch device needs a fully automatic loading system at the back, and after the launch, it is reset and reloaded, and the vertical hair is not used, it is directly a launch unit, and the fire density is higher.

Therefore, the current S-300 system has also chosen a new generation of vertical launch systems.

Vertical launch, there is also a problem, the missile is ignited inside the launch canister, and it is also ignited outside the launch canister?

The United States adopts the method of ignition in the launch canister, which is called hot launch, and in this way of launching, as long as the order to shoot is given, the missile is ignited in the launch canister, and with a blazing flame, it flies away from the launch canister.

In this case, the launch canister of the missile needs to be specially designed to withstand heat, and at the same time, it also needs to have a complex diversion groove, and all the flames are gathered in the launch canister, and the launch canister will definitely explode, and it must be diverted to the outside.

In contrast, the Soviets adopted the simplest way to solve this problem, since it is troublesome to launch the launch pad inside the tube, then use the simple way to solve it and let it be launched outside the tube!

The Soviets' solution to the problem has always been simple and crude, as if in order to reach three times the speed of sound, the Americans used expensive titanium alloys that were difficult to process, while the Soviets directly used stainless steel.

To launch a missile, in order to be simple and effective, people are inside, and use high-pressure air to eject it first!

In addition, the cold launch has another advantage, if the ignition of the missile fails, nine times out of ten it will explode, if the hot launch is used, there are other missiles around, once this failed launch explodes, it will definitely detonate other missiles, and as a result, the launch position will be destroyed.

The 9M83 missile, which received the nickname "Fighter" after being discovered by the West, is 7.8 meters long, 0.8 meters in diameter and has a take-off mass of 2318 kilograms.

Yes, this is a big guy of more than two tons, such a surface-to-air missile, are you afraid?

In order to increase the range, it is necessary to load more fuel, and if you load more fuel, the body will be thicker, and the drag will be greater, so you need a larger engine, and the engine consumes more fuel, so you need more fuel.

It's like an endless loop, constantly snowballing, and it has become a terrible figure of two tons, such a missile, it's perverted enough, right?

There is even more perverted than it, another missile under development, with a length of 10 meters and a take-off mass of 4690 kg!

If you want to eject more than two tons of missiles, ordinary compressed air in gas cylinders is absolutely not enough, so the Soviet Union specially developed a gas generator in the launch canister for this purpose, relying on it to produce high-pressure gas to eject the missile out of the canister.

When it left the launch canister, the speed had reached 50 meters per second, and of course, this speed was still far from the launch speed of the missile, which flew at a speed of 1,700 meters per second.

At this speed, the missile continues to fly upwards by inertia, about 50 to 80 meters to an altitude of 50 to 80 meters, and the tail engine should be ignited, and as the blazing flames come out, the missile will quickly pounce on the target.

But now, after the missile flies out, it makes a vertical upward throwing motion, and its flight speed is getting slower and slower.

Not far from the missile launcher, the officers and soldiers waited there, everything was automated, their operation was not required, but in the event of an accident, they had to go up.

Now, the missile is flying upwards and slower, but there is no sign of ignition.

Although it was not long before this missile was equipped, the missile men on the ground still reacted: "Not good, run!" ”

The first person shouted and ran backwards, and at the same time, the other people also reacted, throwing off their legs one by one and running faster, faster than anyone else.

Sure enough, the missile slowed down and slowed down, and eventually, its velocity dropped to zero, and then it began to fall downward!

The use of cold launch can avoid the problem of the explosion of stinky bombs in the launch canister, but it also raises another question: what happens if the missile does not ignite after it has been ejected?

The missiles will definitely fall!

Therefore, on a warship, those dense vertical silos are not completely vertical, but have a certain angle with the longitudinal axis of the warship, so that when the missile ignition fails, it will not fall to the warship.

Now, this kind of vertical launch canister is not absolutely 90 degrees, with a slight angle, so although this missile falls, it can still have a safe distance of more than ten meters from the launch vehicle.

Is this distance of more than ten meters safe enough? It depends on the meaning of the missile, under normal circumstances, the missile will explode when it falls, not only its warhead, but also its propellant, the two-stage rocket engine, the charge there, will burn with it.

Now, this missile failed to launch and fell downward, and the rest of the people ran as far as they could.

No one dared to look back, and they wouldn't have seen this damn missile, and when it fell, it rolled down the hill!

The area on the top of the mountain is not large, and it is barely spread out this missile position, and now, the missile launcher, almost on the edge of the mountaintop, now, the missile fell, and it actually rolled down the hillside!

"Boom!" The huge explosion sounded at the moment it touched the ground, and the explosion of the missile ignited a raging fire, and debris flew sideways, but coincidentally, all of them were blocked by the hillside, and the launch vehicle was also unharmed.
