Hearing what Commissioner Zheng said, an interested expression appeared on Wang Ye's face.

Last year, the reason why Wang Ye did not invest and prepare in advance in the direction of anti-tank missiles was because Wang Ye knew very well that the Red Arrow-8 project was about to be launched, and the performance of the Red Arrow-8 was quite remarkable, and there was no need to repeat the investment, and there was no need to intercept the scientific research achievements of his own people.

Think about it, the group of people in the 203 Research Institute started the project in 69, and it was delayed for several years for some reasons, and then the project was restarted in 72, and because they couldn't get enough scientific research funds, the team really broke two petals for a penny, and it took more than ten years of hard work to get the Red Arrow-8 out.

As a result, he relied on the memory of later generations, and even transferred personnel through ministries and commissions, which led to the flow of technology, and on the eve of their success, he got this thing out, which was actually devastating for this team, and in Wang Ye's opinion, this kind of behavior was despicable, and it was very detrimental to the development of the scientific research system.

It is precisely because of this that after entering Red Star Machinery, Wang Ye's determination of the direction of scientific research is mostly based on his own vision and technical reserves, aiming at some market-oriented scarce products, or future-oriented potential products.

Needless to say, the first gas canisters and steel tube rockets, and later grenade launchers, rotorcraft, fire support vehicles, heavy multiple rocket launchers, and even civilian pickup trucks and truck trains, are essentially products oriented by this concept, which are not available in China or even internationally, but there is demand in the market.

Similarly, Wang Ye's decision to engage in tanks was also for this reason.

The country does not have a third-generation main battle tank, so it will spend money to find a way to tackle key problems and build tanks, but the country will soon have second-generation anti-tank missiles, so there is no need to repeat anti-tank rockets.

"Enhanced Dow? Member Zheng, you have a lot of tone! ”

"Dow is the benchmark product of the second-generation anti-tank missile products in the world!"

Afterwards, Wang Ye picked up the teapot and took a sip and said with a smile, after Wang Ye heard the words "enhanced version of Dow", he could basically determine that what Member Zheng and they came up with should not be the copy-and-paste Red Arrow-8.

The reason is simple.

In the process, the project team communicated and coordinated with the troops and ministries to finally determine a key design element, that is, the size of the Red Arrow-8 is smaller than that of Dow.

There is actually only one reason for this decision.

That is, at that time, ministries and troops generally believed that the domestic troops lacked sufficient mechanization, the army did not have enough vehicles and various vehicles, and if the size of the anti-tank missiles was too large, it would be difficult to transport, which was not at all like the United States, where the Americans had money, the level of mechanization of the troops was high, and the anti-tank missiles could be pulled by cars wherever they went.

Therefore, compared with Dow's one-meter-long projectile, the Red Arrow-8 is only more than 80 centimeters, and the diameter of the projectile is correspondingly smaller, and the maximum point is only about 120 millimeters.

And this reduction in size also leads to a decrease in data indicators such as range, armor penetration depth, and flight speed.

In a sense.

The initial model of the Red Arrow-8 can only be called a "youth version" of the Dow missile, so if Member Zheng copies and pastes the Red Arrow-8, it will be impossible to call it an "enhanced version of the Dow," which violates the objective law.

"Haha, what did you say, factory director?"

"Although the gap between us and Lao Mei objectively exists, Lao Mei's Dow is a product of the sixties, and we have obtained a lot of physical objects, and various units have been studying it for more than ten years, so it is not so much worse!"

"Of course, perhaps in terms of control system, there is indeed a certain gap between our and the old United States, but this gap is very small, in our opinion, it almost does not affect the use and actual combat effect."

"However, our range, armor penetration depth, and flight speed are a lot higher than theirs!"

"I don't think it's too much to say about the enhanced version!"

In the face of Wang Ye's statement, Commissioner Zheng seemed quite confident, and said in a loud voice.

Hearing this, Wang Ye couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise:

"Well, it's good to have confidence."

"Then please ask Commissioner Zheng to introduce to us, how is this enhanced version of Dow you are making stronger than the original Dow and our Red Arrow-73?"

Under the gaze of Wang Ye and everyone, Commissioner Zheng coughed lightly and said:

"First of all, the projectile body, our length has reached one meter three!"

"The maximum diameter of the bomb also reached 150 mm."

"Secondly, in terms of the wing, we refer to Dow's design on the one hand, some advanced theoretical studies in the world in recent years, and on the other hand, we also combine many of our research and experimental results in rockets."

"In addition, there are engine adjustments, changes in the shape of the missile body, upgrades of the pay-off mechanism, optimization of wires and so on."

"In short, through this series of upgrades and improvements, our enhanced version of the Dow anti-tank rocket can reach a theoretical maximum range of about 4.5 kilometers, far exceeding that of Dow and our Red Arrow-73."

"Also thanks to the increase in the size of the projectile, our warhead charge has also been greatly increased, resulting in a further strengthening of our armor penetration depth relative to the Dow."

"At present, our theoretical static armor penetration depth is about 900 mm, and as for the specific actual data, follow-up tests are needed."

"But I don't think it will let us down."

"After all, the caliber and charge are there, it can't be less, and the data I reported is actually quite conservative!"

With the voice of Member Zheng who was quite confident, there was a burst of laughter in the conference room, and then Member Zheng continued:

"Of course, because of the increase in the length and weight of the projectile, it is more difficult to launch alone."

"But it doesn't matter, in an emergency, using a triangular bracket, it is still possible to carry out individual launches, but in more cases, it needs to be used in conjunction with our 'mobile anti-tank platform'."

"Hah! Mobile anti-tank platforms, to put it bluntly, are our pickup trucks or six-wheeled assault vehicles. ”

"We are going to build a four-shot or eight-shot mechanism, install it on our vehicle platform, and then use it with a special observation and launch integrated system, the operator does not need to get out of the car, he only needs to stand up, his body through the roof sunroof, and he can directly enter the aiming and firing position."

"And thanks to the fast flight speed of our anti-tank missile, after hitting the target or missing the target, the launch platform can immediately shift its position, greatly reducing the probability of being counterattacked!"

In fact, when he heard this, Wang Ye's face finally couldn't hold back, and he showed a bright smile again.

This system is indeed interesting!
