Chapter 243: Air Defense Missile (6)

What Zhao Zhongyao wants to develop now is only a weapon to deal with high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, a missile that attacks high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft.
Such missiles are relatively easy to develop. Because the speed of reconnaissance aircraft is not as fast as that of missiles, and it is larger than missiles. In this way, it is easier for the missile to deal with this kind of high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft.
Although it is easy, Zhao Zhongyao must first develop the performance of these high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft of country Y!
To say that the high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft is also an advanced weapon. Like the old American D-21 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, it can fly to an altitude of 20,000 meters and can fly at Mach two, which is twice the speed of sound.
The reason why this high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft is so powerful is because it uses a ramjet. This kind of engine is not an ordinary engine. It uses the pressure generated by the air circulation itself to burn the mixed combustible gas in the fuel chamber to generate high temperature to drive the engine to work.
More importantly, this aircraft is also an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, which is remotely commanded from a military base.
In a sense, this high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft is a high-altitude reconnaissance missile! This is because the shape of this reconnaissance aircraft is designed in the shape of a missile.
Because only such a streamlined shape can make the reconnaissance plane fly faster and higher!
In fact, the design concept of this high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft is exactly the experience borrowed from the principles of missile development.
Only once, the high-altitude reconnaissance plane is not used to attack the target, there is no explosives in it. Only some shooting equipment is used to detect targets.
At that time, this kind of high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft was a very advanced weapon, and almost no weapon could take them down.
The highest flying altitude of this high-altitude aircraft is 30,000 meters, and the fastest flying speed is Mach three, which is almost three times the speed of sound.
When this high-altitude reconnaissance plane was built, it could fly in the airspace of almost any country. There is no need to worry about shooting down the missiles of these countries.
Because this kind of aircraft can fly faster than missiles, even if you use missiles to attack it, you find the target, aim at the target, and track the target, but you can’t catch up with others, you can only watch them from your country. Flew in the airspace, and there is no alternative!
But the more advanced the weapon, the easier it is to go wrong. D-21 is the same. Although it is very advanced, it flies very fast and flies very high. Missiles can't hit, and fighter jets can't catch up. But this kind of aircraft itself will have problems.
First of all, this kind of aircraft is unmanned. Because the speed is too fast, it flies very high. It would be more dangerous to let people fly. I'm afraid that there is no such pilot who would dare to fly such an airplane!
D-21 has carried out reconnaissance on my country's airspace four times, and wanted to film some of my country's military information on atomic bomb research.
However, none of D-21's four flight reconnaissance missions succeeded, and each of them failed. In the first flight, the plane just entered the coastal airspace of our country, and then it deviated from the direction, and finally ended up at a loss.
The second flight took place over the western part of our country. After filming some military intelligence, I didn't know what to do again.
On the third flight, intelligence was also obtained, but upon returning, it crashed in the Pacific Ocean for no reason.
For the fourth flight, everything went smoothly. The aircraft had already dropped the information and intelligence from the aircraft. But at this moment, there was a sudden strong wind on the sea, making it difficult for the tracking warship on the ground to observe where the target fell. In the end, he watched the precious information and intelligence that had been surveyed so hard and sinking into the sea and was helpless.
Four reconnaissances failed four times. All of a sudden, the senior officials of the United States were frustrated. They had to abandon the production mission of this kind of high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, and no longer expected to use this method to detect my country's military intelligence.
This may be in response to the saying, "Multiple acts of injustice will kill oneself." Military operations with bad motivations are doomed to fail, and even the heavens will deliberately trouble you!
Of course, on the other hand, the more advanced the weapon, the easier it is to cause problems and the harder it is to control.
Now the high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft of country Y is not as advanced as the old American D-21. The two cannot be compared at all.
The high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft of country Y is just an ordinary fighter piloted manually. However, it is not used to compete with other fighters, but to use some high-altitude cameras to photograph the target buildings on the ground.
Zhao Zhongyao knew that the missile he wanted to develop was to deal with these ordinary reconnaissance planes, and there was no need for ‘Patriot’ missiles at all. Or a medium- and long-range missile like the ‘Sud’.
Now, for country Y’s reconnaissance aircraft, the Russian-made S-300 air defense missile is sufficient. With this kind of missile, it is completely possible to knock down the high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft of country Y.
After studying some missile data and reconnaissance aircraft data, Zhao Zhongyao decided to design an air defense missile almost like the S-300.
After a month of hard work, he finally designed the S-300 drawings. Then I took it to the military factory and allowed the workers to start manufacturing.
After another three months of hard work, the first S-300 air defense missile was finally produced.
This is a'big cannonball' with a height of about eight meters, a diameter of one meter, and a weight of about five tons. Compared with the anti-tank missiles developed by Zhao Zhongyao before, this missile is a big guy.
After Zhao Zhongyao developed the first air defense missile, he invited Director Liu, Chief of Staff Yang, and Yan Mingcheng to visit.
The missiles are stored in the ordnance warehouse of the military factory.
Because this kind of anti-aircraft missile is tall and big, it stands upright in the warehouse and has already reached the roof of the warehouse. If this missile is longer, I'm afraid this warehouse won't fit it!
When Director Liu and Chief of Staff Yang, Yan Mingcheng and Zhao Zhongyao came to the warehouse together, they saw the S-300 air defense missile produced by Zhao Zhongyao, and they all stared in surprise.
"Zhongyao, is this the air defense missile you developed in the past six months! This is too powerful!" When Yan Mingcheng saw the big guy in front of him, he couldn't help being surprised!
"Oh! Zhongyao! Is this a "big cannonball"!" Chief of Staff Yang has not seen any missiles, and when I look at this thing, it feels like a "big cannonball"!
"Zhongyao! Can your'big cannonball' really knock down the enemy's high-altitude reconnaissance plane!" Director Liu looked at the big guy in front of him, feeling whether this thing could fly into the sky! At a glance, it weighs several tons!
