Chapter 229: Anti-tank missile (2)

"Director Zhao, what is an anti-tank missile! How come we haven't heard of such a missile!" When Chen Chao heard that, Zhao Zhongyao said another new term and asked strangely.
"An anti-tank missile is a missile developed for destroying tank targets. It is a miniaturized wire-guided armor-piercing projectile.
Anti-tank missiles are mainly composed of warheads, power units, missile guidance devices and missile bodies. The warhead usually adopts a hollow charge shaped energy piercing type. Some use high-energy explosives and double-cone forging forming charge-shaped cover to improve the penetration efficiency of the metal jet. Others use self-forging fragmentation warheads to attack the target's top armor.
The armor penetration power is mainly expressed by the static armor penetration thickness and the dynamic armor penetration thickness. The static armor penetration thickness of some missile warheads can reach 1,400 mm. The power plant usually refers to the engine mounted on the missile, which uses solid propellant to generate thrust to ensure that the missile obtains the required speed and range. At different speed stages of missile flight, the engine thrust is different, the thrust of the take-off stage (also known as the speed increase stage) is larger, and the thrust of the endurance stage is smaller.
Some anti-tank missiles are equipped with two engines. The take-off engine gives the missile the initial speed, and the endurance engine is used to maintain the missile's flight speed. Some are only equipped with a speed-increasing engine, and the missile will fly without power after it reaches a certain speed. Others only have endurance engines. The missile has a certain speed after it is launched from the launch tube, and the endurance engine provides endurance to maintain this speed.
The missile guidance device is a part of the missile guidance system, which is composed of on-board control instruments, stabilizing flight devices and control mechanisms. Its function is to synthesize and amplify the control commands transmitted from the guidance system, drive the control mechanism, and change the flying direction of the missile. Homing guided anti-tank missile guidance systems are all installed on the bombs. The projectile body is a shell with a certain aerodynamic shape, which is composed of a projectile shell, wings, rudder and tail. The head of most missile bodies is pointed or elliptical, the middle is cylindrical, and the tail is truncated cone-shaped.
The wings are usually cross-shaped. The aerodynamic layout of the missile has three types: no tail type, normal type, and tail rudder type. The wing of the tailless projectile doubles as a tail, the rudder is on the trailing edge of the wing, and the wing provides lift and stable moment. This type of missile has a simple structure and is suitable for missiles with a short body, and is used by most anti-tank missiles.
The wing and tail of the normal missile body are separated, and the tail wing doubles as a rudder, which is suitable for anti-tank missiles with a long body. The rudder-type missile has no wings, and the tail doubles as a rudder, which is suitable for supersonic anti-tank missiles. The material used to make the projectile is usually aluminum alloy, glass fiber reinforced plastic or special plastic.
If we want to develop this anti-tank missile, we must first develop an aluminum alloy material. Only this material can increase the flight distance of the missile. Because aluminum alloy is a light metal. It has both strength and lightness. It is a very suitable metal material for missiles.
In the next step, we will mainly conduct research in this area, and first develop some aluminum alloy materials, which are the basic materials for the development of anti-tank missiles. "
"Director Zhao, leave this task to us! We both develop this aluminum alloy material. Let's design the missile's internal design!" Chen Chao now knows that he has a few kilograms, and he no longer interacts with Zhao Zhong. Yuan is competing to design the internal structure of anti-tank missiles.
"Okay, then, let's develop aluminum alloy materials! I will design the internal structure of the anti-tank missile." Zhao Zhongyao saw that the two of them were finally willing to be his assistants, and he was also willing to follow what Chen Chao said. The division of labor has begun.
In the next time, Zhao Zhongyao and Chen Chaochengyuan began to work hard, and they all wanted to develop anti-tank missiles as soon as possible!
Originally, Zhao Zhongyao's development of this kind of anti-tank missile was just a test procedure for the development of surface-to-air missiles, but he did not expect that when he developed the anti-tank missile, it would come in handy.
Since country M has always been eyeing China, it has always wanted to find opportunities to take military actions against China! But within their country, there has been a serious economic crisis in the past year, resulting in a large number of workers being unemployed, so many workers in their country have marched on the streets to demand national leaders, reduce military spending, and increase relief for the unemployed. .
Due to the large scale of the demonstrations, the leaders of country M had to pay attention to them. They could only cut some military expenditures, raise the wages of workers, and provide the lowest level of living security, which temporarily stabilized the country.
When Country M resolved its internal problems, its greedy face was revealed again. Just thinking about how to use his military strength to gain some advantage outside.
Although the southwestern part of China has a small population, it is rich in resources. Especially recently an oil mine with amazing reserves was discovered in the southwest. According to preliminary estimates, there may be tens of billions of tons of crude oil!
After country M got the news, it was salivating again. Country M is a big energy consuming country. They are called a nation on wheels. Almost everyone in the country has a car.
Therefore, country M has always regarded oil very precious, and some of their military operations outside were basically because they wanted to compete for some precious oil resources!
The oil field that China has explored this time is located on the border between China and T. Although the oil field is within China, it is only tens of kilometers away from the border.
At this time, country M was jealous of this oil field, and just wondered how to ‘swallow’ this large oil field in China!
But this oilfield is within the borders of China. Country M has to think about it, and there is no good way to do it directly. There is no excuse for it!
Country M was thinking about it, and he thought of a good way.
Because this oil field is on the border between China and T. It is only tens of kilometers away from the border of country T.
Now, Country M began to think of tricks. They thought, if the border between China and T country could be moved, then this big oil field wouldn't belong to T country. Country T is its own hard-core ally, and it can also be said to be its own "little brother.
If this oil field becomes T country’s oil field, then you don’t want to do what you want. If you are the boss, what can T country do with yourself!
With this bad attention, country M began to tinker with the leaders of country T. Tell them that there is a large oil field on the eastern border of their country. Originally it belonged to your country, but it is now occupied by China. You must quickly take it back!
