Chapter 340: Red Flag Nine Test Firing Finalized

A few days later, the capital.

"Taozi, you are indeed a talent!"

"I said, leader, are you praising me or scolding me?" Qin Tao looked at the leader with dissatisfaction on his face.

"Of course I'm complimenting you. This time I went out and gained a lot!" The leader looked at Wu Shengli: "Old Wu, your son-in-law is very powerful. He is a capable person and has a big temper. I have to stay away.

Already."

"Taozi did gain a lot this time when he went out. Not only did he reduce the price of the Kilo-class by half, but he also bought four of them with the same budget. He also got back other good things, especially

, I want our navy to build deep-submersible lifeboats for our navy." Wu Shengli said: "Although this project is not within our navy's plan, we can use the money saved by the Kilo-class to build this

Once the lifeboat is built, Taozi can no longer pay for it."

This matter was done beautifully, and my father-in-law was very happy, so I had to consider Qin Tao's interests. Sure enough, if I ask for help in the future, I can first increase the budget, and then reduce the cost, and everyone is happy.

If you start to praise Haikou but fail to achieve it in the end, no one will be happy.

"Leader Wu, these are trivial matters, what is important is the follow-up plan and arrangements." Qin Tao said.

"Well, Taozi, tell everyone what you think."

"First of all, it is a matter of talent." Qin Tao said: "Kvasa is an excellent submarine designer and Krasnopolski is an excellent nuclear reactor designer. After they complete the deep-submersible lifeboat project, if they can participate

Our domestic projects will greatly promote the progress of related projects."

Although relevant units have begun the preliminary design of second-generation nuclear submarines since the 1980s, due to insufficient technology and experience, the designed products did not widen the gap, so they have never been put into action.

Now, with the arrival of designer Lao Maozi, this shortcoming will finally be filled.

"We have ways to keep them here. After all, this is a place where they can live a better life and realize their ideals. But, what are the Navy's plans to do? Let our submarine designers work with them.

Or set up a special research and development unit?"

This is what Qin Tao is most concerned about right now. He has to prepare in advance.

"what is your opinion?"

"My opinion?" Qin Tao smiled: "I dug out the talents. I don't want to make wedding dresses for your navy. I will keep them to form our third design office and recruit a group of designers."

, In this way, we can do our own research and development. Our navy's submarines are too outdated and urgently need to be replaced. We have the design drawings of the 209 submarine, coupled with Lao Maozi's technology, combining the East and the West, and putting our own diesel-electric submarines first

Designed. By the way, Lao Ma is also researching advanced technologies, which can be integrated into our submarines."

"What about Krasnopolsky? He works on nuclear reactors!"

"He? He is of great use. We can set up a nuclear reactor research institution. Of course, it may be difficult for us to do it ourselves. We can cooperate with universities to carry out research on advanced nuclear reactors, and start with civilian use. Anyway, this thing,

The most important thing is to understand the principles. Our Mingzhou Group may be able to build nuclear power plants in the future!"

"Lao Wu, your son-in-law has great ambitions!" the people on the side said with emotion.

"Of course, my daughter's vision is absolutely unmistakable." Wu Shengli said, "Taozi, go on."

"This time, we also brought back a lot of good things, such as the 3M-54 missile. The technical level of this missile is still very high. Therefore, I suggest that relevant units carry out technical research. It is not necessary to imitate it, but to study it. technology to promote the development of our related missile technology. Although the range is a bit low, as long as we add fuel tanks, the range can be quickly increased."

Whether this kind of missile is directly imitated, or whether it absorbs technology and improves it, is not something Qin Tao has to worry about. In short, he has got the thing, and the rest is for the Navy to make its own decision. Qin Tao doesn't have to worry about it anyway. This ability will not be mixed with it.

"Any more?"

"Also, I want to live a good life this year, so please don't disturb me." Qin Tao said, "I don't want to bother with this year anymore."

Qin Tao's sudden change of conversation left everyone present speechless. Wu Shengli smiled: "Since you don't want to, then forget it."

Forget it? Qin Tao rolled his eyes at his father-in-law and said, "Huh, are you playing a trick with me? You won't be fooled!"

"Forget it, if nothing happens here, I will go back to Huating, and then take Xiaoling back to Mingzhou to celebrate the New Year. I have been here before this year, and I will not come after the new year."

"You boy, it is true that the greater your ability, the greater your temper." Wu Shengli glanced at him dissatisfied: "Huh, if you miss it, you will definitely regret it. Our domestic regional air defense missile will be test-fired and finalized soon. Yes, I spent a lot of effort to get you the qualification to watch. If you don’t want to go, then forget it."

"What? It's about to be tested and finalized? So soon?" Qin Tao was also a little surprised. He seemed to remember it was in 1995, right?

"Of course." Wu Shengli said: "Over the years, with your promotion, the S-300 missile system was brought back. The technicians referred to the S-300 and improved our Red Flag Nine. Although our navy We still have to wait for the Sea Star radar, but we are still more concerned about the test launch of this land-based missile. You kid, just forget it if you don’t want to go."

"Go, go, of course!" Qin Tao said: "It seems that our Mingzhou Group has also used this missile as a reference to design a new generation of destroyers."

No matter what he does, Qin Tao likes to make the first move. He definitely doesn't want to miss the Navy's Aegis battleship. With the air defense ship and underwater power, everything is ready, except for the aircraft carrier.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The time has entered the twelfth lunar month, and a heavy snowfall has decorated the entire capital with silver. On the outskirts of the capital, in a shooting range, countless people wearing military coats are shooting Busy in the biting cold wind.

Surrounding them were all Maz-543 off-road truck-like vehicles, full of rugged style. Because they were sprayed with green camouflage, they looked so outstanding on the white ground.

Behind one of the cars were four large barrels, which looked so strong. The cold wind blew up the white snow, swirling it around, and covering its body with a layer of white.

Another car was carrying a large flatbed on its back, and there was even a layer of snowflakes on the flatbed.

"The weather is not very good." Several people wrapped in military coats came out of a small weather station nearby.

"The wind is too strong. Is it dangerous?"

"Yes, otherwise, our test launch will be cancelled?"

"When designing our weapons, we have already considered extremely bad weather. The weather will be like this throughout the winter. Do we have to wait until spring before we can test-fire?" An old man said: "In a moment, during the test-fire.

, I am standing next to the launcher, I have confidence in our missiles!"

If it were the previous launchers, they would have nothing to worry about, but now, they are using launch tubes. The missiles inside are not directly ignited, but are pushed out by high-pressure gas.

After the missile flies out, it will be affected by the crosswind. Will it be blown away?

This will cause big trouble. If the missile is blown down, even the launch vehicle may be blown up!

Everyone is worried.

But the old man insisted on it because they couldn't wait any longer!

"We have been preparing for this test launch for more than two months. We must not give up because of the weather. If we reach a state of war, will the enemy cancel the attack on us because of the weather? The worse the weather, the more the enemy likes it! Our missiles must

It requires all-weather combat capabilities! If we don’t dare to test-fire now, then what’s the point of finalizing it?”

"Old Wu, that's well said!" At this moment, a Mercedes-Benz G with a military license plate drove over. Several people got out of the car and walked over. They happened to hear the words coming from the wind and immediately

Some people agreed.

Mr. Wu turned around and said, "Lao Wu, Lao Lin, and Mr. Qin, are you all here?"

Mr. Lin also came, but he came in this car. After all, it was comfortable. He praised it countless times along the way.

"Yes, come here. It's a great honor for me to be able to visit this test launch."

"No, Mr. Qin, you have this qualification. Without you, our missile would have been several years late in maturing."

Speaking of this, Mr. Wu was very emotional. The first time he knew about Qin Tao was when Qin Tao stuffed a missile into the junk he brought back from abroad. Then, Qin Tao joined the inspection group and went together.

When I inspected Lao Maozi's S-300 missile, the impression I had at that time is still vivid in my mind.

The Red Flag-9 missile project is a national key project. Even if the S-300 missile is introduced, the research and development of the Red Flag-9 has not been ignored. By dismantling the S-300 missile system, they have also obtained a lot of technology, so they can

When the missile was developed, we learned a lot from it.

"For example, when we first used polyether polyurethane as the fuel for this missile, the energy density of this propellant was low, so we had to put in more propellant to meet the range requirements.

, the missile body we first developed has a first-stage booster with a diameter of 700 millimeters, a second-stage main engine with a diameter of 560 millimeters, a length of nearly 9 meters, and a maximum launch weight of 2 tons. We use liquid rockets.

The engine of the anti-aircraft missile Hongqi 2 is the same. It would be good to install three missiles on such a launch vehicle."

Mr. Wu pointed at the launch vehicle and began to introduce: "Later, we came into contact with the S-300 missile system, and immediately studied the hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene propellant used on it, and also improved the process, so we

The length of the current missile has been reduced to six and a half meters, but the range remains the same."

"How is the performance of the guidance radar used in our missiles?" Qin Tao looked to the side.

"Well, we are using the SJ212 phased array radar, which is an improved version of the radar used in our original Kaishan-1 system. It has a larger area, stronger power, and a longer distance to illuminate the target."

Following Mr. Wu's introduction, the phased array radar truck over there was slowly being erected. It looked somewhat similar to Mr. Maozi's radar.

This kind of radar is a passive phased array radar, which is also commonly used in ground air defense systems. Although it borrows some technologies from Lao Maozi, specifically, it still has its own characteristics, and it is first-class in terms of anti-interference and other aspects.

"Old Wu, as long as you can complete the target shooting mission under these conditions today, our Air Force will immediately purchase two missile battalions!" Mr. Lin spoke from the side.

After purchasing the S-300 missile system, the Air Force is very satisfied. It is as mature and reliable as the Su-27 fighter jet. However, the demand for air defense missiles is greater. Therefore, although there are calls among the Air Force to purchase more S-300s,

But it has not given up its support for Hongqijiu.

Now, the final test launch is about to take place. As long as the test launch can be successful this time, they must purchase a batch and support it with practical actions.

"Thanks to the support of the Air Force. Currently, we are still developing the latest model, which must have the ability to intercept ballistic missiles. Therefore, it is enough for the Air Force to purchase two battalions of this initial model. In a few years, we will be able to

It can provide more advanced missiles to the Air Force."

The roar of the engine sounded, and the power supply truck had begun to work. On the erected radar antenna, the snow was melting rapidly.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Leaders, please step back." At this moment, an officer in charge of the test at the scene became nervous.

"Retreat? Why retreat?" Mr. Lin looked at the officer: "Did the others retreat?"

According to the actual combat deployment of the army, there are sentries next to the missile launch vehicles, and now, the missiles are also being erected. The four-unit missiles look almost the same as the S-300.

"No one else has, but..."

"There is no but, since others are not retreating, then we will not retreat either." Mr. Lin said with certainty: "We are here, watching this final test launch."

"But."

What else did the officer want to say, but Mr. Lin's eyes were already unkind.

"Leaders, this is the direction facing the wind. It is not easy for us to watch. I suggest that we turn half a circle and walk to the opposite side. This way, we have the wind behind us and can also easily watch the spectacular scene of missile launches. What do you think?"

The officer cast a grateful look.

Although Mr. Wu is full of confidence that there will be no problems, he is not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of what happens.

Now, it is too dangerous for the big guys to stand here, but it is impossible to let them leave.

So, the only way is to go around half a circle.

Observing from the wind, this reason is very suitable. There is no possibility for the leaders to refuse. If they stand in the direction of the lee, they will be safe. The wind blows from behind them and blows towards the launch vehicle. In case the missile is blown sideways.

, must be moving forward and will not fall into the crowd of leaders.

"Okay, let's go over there." Wu Shengli made his choice first.

With him taking the lead, the others followed and stood in a row in the leeward direction.

The missile launcher landed firmly on the ground, facing the sky vertically, and the radar truck was extremely nervous.

It is difficult to rotate such a large-area radar, so when deploying, the radar vehicle is always positioned, facing directly in the direction of the threat, and searching a 120-degree sector area.

The direction they are facing now is also the direction of the target drone launch vehicle, so the radar does not need to rotate. With the help of the phase shifter, the electromagnetic waves scan in a sector of 120 degrees in front of the radar.

Time passes little by little.

"Found the target, the distance is 150, the altitude is 15,000, and the speed is 800!"

"It's tall enough!" Qin Tao couldn't help but sigh: "This is probably a modified J-6, right?"

"Yes, for the final experiment, we must first shoot down high-altitude targets." Mr. Lin said.

Sure enough, it's good to have the wind at your back, at least you don't have wind in your mouth when you talk.

"A hundred distance away!"

"The distance is eighty! The height is sixteen thousand!"

Although the maximum range of this kind of regional air defense missile exceeds one hundred kilometers, this data and the maximum firing height cannot be achieved at the same time. Now that the target is flying at high altitude, the interception distance of the anti-aircraft missile will quickly shrink to fifty kilometers.

"The distance is sixty, the height is seventeen thousand!"

"Prepare to launch missiles!"

Qin Tao looked at the launch tube with interest. A few seconds later, a loud bang was heard.

The milky white warhead broke through the fragile cover and came out of the launch tube. It looked very spectacular. The size of this thing was much larger than the Hongqi-16!

After the warhead is drilled out, there is the projectile body underneath. The color turns dark gray, and the diameter below seems to be getting larger. However, no rudder surface can be seen on the entire projectile body!

Ordinary missiles, in order to control the flight of the projectile, will have airfoils in the front. Even the Hongqi-16 does not have airfoils for control and has side wings to stabilize the flight attitude. However, the Hongqi-9 missile does not

No.

"The Rebirth of Financial Giants"

Like the S-300 missile, the entire missile body is slim and only has four trapezoidal tail fins at the tail. This design is of course to reduce the resistance during flight.

At this time, the four tail missile wings appeared in front of everyone, and the huge missile body came out completely like a carp jumping over a dragon's gate!

All eyes were fixed on it, watching it continue to fly upward.

Will the wind blow it away? Are you kidding? This cold wind from Siberia can blow a missile of more than a ton? This is not a typhoon.

"The design of the missile body will not be particularly maneuverable." Qin Tao revealed the secret.

At this time, a puff of white smoke came out of the tail of the missile, followed by blazing flames, and its engine ignited! As if taking stimulants, the missile accelerated and sprinted into the sky, forming a trail of tail flames.

The smoke column grew wildly into the sky, and at the same time slowly spread and grew larger.

"Yes, the maneuverability is only 22G, which is incomparable with combat missiles. However, in order to pursue low resistance and increase range and top speed, it can only be designed this way." Mr. Wu said.

Air-to-air missiles are often overloaded to 35G, or even 50G. This long-range air defense missile does not have that ability. It adopts this shape design, which sacrifices maneuverability, but reduces flight resistance and increases speed.

At this time, the missiles shooting in the sky were constantly accelerating, and soon exceeded the speed of sound, then Mach 2, Mach 3, and finally reached the maximum speed of Mach 4!

On the radar truck, the operators were also staring intently. If the interception could not be successful, then they would have to launch a second missile in time to conduct a second interception.

"It's ten kilometers away."

"Five kilometers away."

“One kilometer away!”

The tone of the report became increasingly urgent, and everyone held their breath.

In the distant sky, a piece of light appeared.

"The missile hits and the target disappears!"

Success!

In this complicated weather, their missiles accurately hit the target drone at high altitude!

Just when everyone started cheering, the radar operator shouted again: "Low-altitude target found, 40 kilometers away!"

"Prepare to launch the second interceptor missile!"

Because there is no specialized low-altitude blind-filling radar, this phased array radar did not find the target until it was forty kilometers away. At this moment, everyone became nervous.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The distance is thirty kilometers! The target height is fifty meters!"

"Fifty meters, is that okay?" Qin Tao was also a little worried at this time.

According to some information, the initial model of the Hongqi-9 missile has a minimum firing range of 500 meters! In other words, targets below 500 meters cannot be intercepted.

Although Qin Tao, a shipbuilding engineer, knew the various parameters of the Hongqi-9 missile, those were all in the later stages. Two thousand years later, when the Aegis ship was put into production, he began to come into contact with this data.

What now?

"Of course, no problem. Our minimum shooting height is twenty-five meters." Mr. Wu said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the second missile flew up.

Different from the first missile, this missile sprinted slightly into the sky after being ignited. After accumulating speed, it immediately dived down and pounced in the direction of the target.

"Many cruise missiles can fly to a height of ten meters or even five meters." Qin Tao reminded.

It is not easy for a missile weighing more than one ton to intercept a target at a height of 25 meters. However, starting from actual combat, the enemy's cruise missile is likely to launch from a height of ten to five meters.

Fly here.

By then, there will still be no way to intercept it, right?

"Well, yes, but we are not afraid. We have a 180-kilogram warhead. After the explosion, all aircraft under 25 meters will be destroyed."

Not to mention twenty-five meters, one or two hundred meters can't stop it!

Although Hongqijiu is an anti-aircraft missile, its warhead is larger than many anti-ship missile warheads!

What Mr. Wu said was domineering and revealing.

A regional air defense missile that can also intercept cruise missiles and even ballistic missiles in the future.

Of course, the interception distance will decrease rapidly.

Fifteen kilometers away, a ball of flames rose up. This time I could see it more clearly. The fireball was so spectacular.

boom!

With the explosion, the target drone flying at ultra-low altitude became fragments.

Both test launches were a complete success!
