Chapter 1094: Specialized air-to-surface missile

At present, there are anti-tank missiles used by armed helicopters in China, but this is different from the needs of fixed-wing aircraft.
Gunships are low-speed aircraft, and they can stay hovering even when hitting tanks. Therefore, when helicopters hit tanks, missiles almost use visual aiming and semi-active guidance. In semi-active, wired guidance is the main method, which needs to be developed. Laser semi-active guided missiles will not appear until more than ten years later.
The anti-tank missiles of this era have a wire release device at the tail, which constantly releases the controlled wire. As the missile extends, a battle is over, and even this thin copper wire is everywhere on the battlefield.
The helicopter is okay, but the fixed-wing aircraft is not good, because of its high speed, and the wire reel breaks before the wire is released. In this case, it is necessary to develop a new anti-tank missile.
Of course, it is not only anti-tank, but also other ground equipment. It is an air-to-surface missile.
To talk about this kind of missile, one has to mention the famous Mavericks.
In 1964, the Eagle State Air Force first proposed to develop the "Maverick" air-to-surface missile. The development work kicked off in 1965. Fully guided flight tests were carried out in early 1970. In early 1971, the Air Force certified flight tests and then began production and equipped with Air Force aircraft. Its code name is AGM-65A.
The missile is cylindrical, 2.49 meters long, 0.35 meters long, and 0.72 meters wingspan. The cross-shaped wing and rudder are arranged on the same plane. The deflection angle of the rudder is ±35°. The power unit is a double The thrust solid rocket motor has a maximum range of 48 kilometers and a maximum rate of fire around 1.2 Mach.
It can be found that the appearance of this missile is different from that of a helicopter, and the guidance principle is even more different.
The original Mavericks missile used the principle of television guidance, with a television seeker mounted on the front of the missile body, which included television cameras and electronic systems.
Now, following Qin Guan's introduction, on a switching screen, the introduction material of this missile appeared, and everyone listened very carefully.
"The warhead of this missile weighs 58.7 kilograms and its charge is 37.6 kilograms. It is detonated by the trigger fuze. The launch of the entire missile is 210 kilograms. Our strong -5 fighter can carry at least six fighters at a time. Attack six tanks accurately."
"Although the warhead is not powerful, it uses a top attack method, attacking from the top of the tank, where it is the most vulnerable part of all tanks."
"But, why haven't we heard of it?"
Qin Guan participated in this exercise. There was a big discrepancy between this exercise and the presupposition. Now it is Commander Qin who is asking the question. He hasn't even heard of this missile.
"Because it is still in the plan, if the army needs it, we will build it within a year." Qin Guan said.
A missile that is still in the plan, why do you take it out? Everyone was taken aback.
Qin Guan also complained secretly in his heart. The country's military industry was full of holes. He made up the east and the west by himself. It was impossible to take care of everything.
With regard to missiles, I worry about the Pili-8, which introduced technology from the Kingdom of David, and the Pili-11, which introduced sky flash technology from the country of Niu. With regard to surface-to-air missiles, I am also worried about the localization of standard missiles. Take care of this air-to-surface missile.
After all, before the military exercises in the bear country, everyone hadn't felt such a real crisis. Now that they feel it, they can take it out immediately.
But don’t worry, your own electronic technology is developing rapidly. As long as you take the Maverick missile data from the weapon data cemetery, you can improve it yourself, and you can produce it. It takes about a year.
This exercise is to show how to deal with the large-scale military invasion of the bear country. Compared with the previous pessimistic view, planning to hide in the mountains is not easy. What is a year?
Sure enough, the chief nodded: "Yes, this is a key project, we must catch it."
With a smile on Qin Guan's face: "There are two main precision weapons in our plan. This air-to-surface missile was originally a TV seeker, and a laser seeker will be developed later."
In fact, its ultimate improvement is infrared imaging guidance, but unfortunately this technology is in the 21st century, and it is definitely not possible at the current level.
One is an air-to-surface missile, which is mainly equipped for professional ground attack aircraft such as Qiangwu, and the other is for the Flying Leopard fighter-bomber.
"The other is to improve our existing aerial bombs and add guidance elements to become precision-guided weapons, thrown by the Flying Leopard fighter-bombers."
Flying Leopard carries a large amount of bombs, and mainly carries bombs. If this bomb is improved, it becomes a precision-guided bomb.
"Is it that easy to add guidance elements?" someone asked immediately.
"It's not very difficult." Qin Guan said: "Using our current technology, it can probably be done within a year. Adding a laser seeker to the bomb can control the missile to reach the target accurately. However, this technology is upgraded. The price is a little bit more expensive. After the research and development of our satellite navigation system is completed, satellite navigation modules can be used, and the cost will be greatly reduced."
Let the flying leopard take the calf, but this is a little overkill. The flying leopard is the right way to carry bombs, especially the one-ton bombs, which can be carried by the flying leopard, not only to hit the tank, but to the opponent’s rear Supplying positions, hitting their headquarters or the like, is the right way.
Now, the air force can play a very small role, because the air force has almost no precise ground attack weapons. Qiangwu carries a bomb in a dive attack, which is dangerous and has little success. As for Hongliu, I'm afraid it was shot down without reaching the battlefield.
While talking, the fleet in the sky had already flown onto the battlefield.
The Flying Leopard fighter-bombers are still flying at high altitude. Their target is not the tanks, but the rear of the enemy tank troops!
The strong five attack aircraft swooped down, swooped down towards the blue army, and launched an attack.
"Watch out for air strikes, watch out for air strikes!" On the radio, the tank company commander Liu Minggang shouted loudly. He opened the tank's hatch and pushed the anti-aircraft machine gun on the tank turret.
In this era, the role of anti-aircraft machine guns has been greatly reduced. The mobile air defense firepower accompanied by the bear country's tank troops is their main air defense force, but Qin Guan did not exchange it.
As a result, they could only do this, watching those strong -5 attack planes flying over their heads, simulating attacks.
I don't know how the command will judge? If these planes are over, will your own army be wiped out? Is that still going on? I haven’t seen the tanks of the defending troops on the opposite side!
