Chapter 308: Anti-Tank Steel Rain
"Commissioner Su, you say."
After the huge conference room gradually quieted down, Wang Ye bowed his head and motioned for the committee member who raised his hand to speak.
Under the gaze of everyone, this Su commissar coughed lightly and said:
"Director, according to the documents issued to us by the ministry, the current Indian side is adopting a large-scale frontal advance of armored clusters, which has very typical characteristics of Soviet Army operations."
"So I think India will continue to use this tactic until they achieve a certain goal, or this tactic cannot be sustained."
"There are two reasons for this."
"First, through the battle in the early hours of this morning, they have tasted the benefits of this way of fighting."
"Second, since they learned from the Soviet Union and purchased a large number of more advanced T-72 tanks, it must be that the Soviet Union agreed to their tactics, so they have no possibility of changing their course in a short time."
Regarding this Su committee member's statement, many committee members present nodded their heads in agreement.
However, many people are obviously a little confused, and they don't know what India's continuation of their steel torrent tactics has to do with how to counter them, but there are also some committee members who are frowning and thinking, as if they have vaguely discovered something.
"Actually, I'm going to say it very simply."
"I just want to tell you that we don't really need to worry too much."
"You should remember that the factory director mentioned a concept, right? It's called asymmetrical warfare, and to put it bluntly, it's a horse race. ”
"India's T-72 tank torrent is really strong, our 69 tank cluster is not their opponent, but we can completely abandon the tank and use other means to fight them! Especially when they're pushing in groups. ”
"The simplest, it's our heavy rocket artillery!"
As soon as these words came out, most of the committee members present showed a sudden expression of realization on their faces, and the heavy rocket artillery project in the mouth of Committee Member Su was actually a medium and long-range rocket artillery project, but it was not exactly the previous 59-p multiple rocket launcher project, because with the advancement of the complex transport vehicle project, the rocket artillery had to give up the cumbersome 59 tank chassis as a delivery platform.
"Old Su, what do you mean, bombarding tanks with rocket artillery?"
"Isn't that amazing?"
As the words of this committee member Su fell, many members of the committee who suddenly realized that they were stunned and surprised, frowned and thought, or looked at each other with a look on their faces, because the suggestion put forward by Committee member Su almost broke the conventional cognition of everyone present, after all, normally speaking, it is either a tank, a fighter plane, an armed helicopter, or an anti-tank missile that can hit a tank, who would bombard a tank with such a thick rocket artillery?
However, many people also realized this problem in a moment, that is, at present, there is no similar heavy multiple rocket launcher of the Red Star Consortium in the world, so whether this thing can be used to fight tanks or not, there is no experience to refer to, in other words, maybe it can, because only practice is the only criterion for testing the truth.
There was silence in the conference room.
After more than ten seconds of silence, suddenly one of the committee members slapped the table, then turned his head to scan all the other committee members present, and his voice changed from hesitation to more and more excited:
"Like, it's really not impossible."
"Because our infrared guidance project is doing well, with the performance of our current infrared guidance head, it is not a big problem to lock on to such a large target as a tank from the air."
"Coupled with the fact that India's tanks are advancing in clusters, then there must be a high density of tanks."
"As long as you can roughly judge the direction of the enemy's tank troops, you can use large-scale heavy rocket artillery for fire coverage as you would with normal army units."
"After the rocket is launched, the infrared guidance will start working, anyway, I think it should be easy."
"Even if you can hit half of the shots, the effect is very good."
"After all, our 300 mm caliber rocket launcher, as long as it falls within 10 meters or even 15 meters of the tank, I estimate that the tank will have to lie down."
"Not to mention, the armored forces are not all tanks, there are infantry fighting vehicles, and other armored vehicles?"
In the conference room, the excited voice of this commissioner echoed, and it was obvious that he had found that this scheme could indeed effectively target armored cluster targets!
"Shhh According to Lao Chen's analysis, it seems that you can indeed do this. ”
"So for us, the biggest problem at present is to upgrade and transform the rocket, in the past our rockets only have gyroscope inertial guidance, now if it is adapted to infrared guidance, then the missile body needs to be equipped with an active direction control system, otherwise it is impossible to accurately change the direction, and finally fall on the top of the tank.
"Hongfu, I remember that your project team is engaged in this research, right?"
Then, another member gasped and said, after he finished speaking, he looked at a slightly bald member in the distance, and under the gaze of everyone, the bald member held a cigarette and said with a smile:
"That's right, our project is indeed engaged in infrared-guided rockets."
"It's just that the target we lock on is bigger than the tank, because we want to load rockets on the missile boat and lock on to the ship target through infrared guidance."
"So if you want to aim at a tank, you have to change it a little, but it's also simple, just narrow the aiming horizon a little bit, which can greatly reduce the problem of repeatedly aiming at the same target."
"However, it is still not possible to completely eliminate this situation."
Speaking of this, the committee member flicked the cigarette ash and said with a smile:
"I also think this project can be done."
"However, I must remind you that from the tactical and strategic level, the benefits of this anti-tank program are many, for example, the efficiency of targeting dense targets will be very, very high, and when the enemy can't stand it, they will naturally give up this plan of advancing in armored clusters, and if their tanks are scattered, then Pakistan can adopt more tactical solutions."
"However, the disadvantages are also obvious."
"First, compared to ordinary anti-tank weapons, the cost of this thing is too high, just compare with our Red Arrow 73 anti-tank missile, a heavy rocket with infrared guidance, I estimate that it can shoot at least ten Red Arrow 73.
"Second, the use restriction is too large, for example, if the two sides have entered a state of entanglement, they cannot be used at all, unless they blow up to the sky with their own people, or the enemy cannot use it when rushing in a long formation, and the hit efficiency is too low."
"Third"
Before the committee member could finish speaking, Committee member Su, who had originally proposed this plan, waved his hand, interrupted the committee member with a smile, and said at the same time:
"That's it! All right! Hongfu, you are an expert in missiles, we all know it, so don't find fault. ”
"Although there are many problems with this plan, the factory director often emphasizes that as long as the thinking does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties, since you said that this plan is feasible, then you must have the idea of optimization, right?"
"Come, Comrade Hongfu, tell everyone!"
As soon as these words came out, many committee members who had been driven by this plan began to applaud in an uproar, and under the gaze of everyone, the committee member named Hongfu smiled and said:
"I do have a couple of immature ideas"
