Chapter 242: Air Defense Missile (5)

I am a physicist and I like military weapons. This is exactly one of my learning methods! I just want to understand some advanced theoretical problems in physics from these military weapons! "
Zhao Zhongyao's words left those who laughed at Zhao Zhongyao for not doing business properly.
Zhao Zhongyao also learned a lot about missile knowledge before his death. He knew that the weapon used to deal with high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft at that time, that is, the S-300 air defense missile produced by the former Russia, was considered a very advanced missile.
The Russian-made S-300 air defense missile is the most advanced missile developed by Russia, and a large number of them are equipped in the army.
"S-300PMU1" uses a newly developed missile to increase the power of the illumination guidance radar. It increases the range and ability to attack fast targets, so that the system can effectively intercept not only aerodynamic targets, but also tactical ballistic missiles. "S-300PMU1" can intercept tactical ballistic missiles at a distance of 40 kilometers. Military experts pointed out that the overall performance of the "S-300PMU1" exceeds that of the old American "Patriot" surface-to-air missile system.
The Russian-made "S-300" series air defense missile system has always been a best-selling product on the international air defense weapon market. According to Russian media reports, Russia has exported the "S-300" air defense missile system to Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Armenia and other countries. In addition, after the Kosovo War, even the United States bought the "S-300" air defense missile system from Belarus.
Although the Russian-made S-300 is not as famous as the old American ‘Patriot’ missile, it’s surpassed in performance.
Lao Mei’s "Patriot" air defense missile can be said to be a world-renowned air defense missile. This type of anti-aircraft missile, precisely because it competed with Iraq's "Scud" missiles during the Gulf War, both missiles became famous all over the world.
In this war, the ‘Patriot’ missile can be said to be a big show, and Saddam’s ‘Flying Head’ missile suffered a lot.
Patriot missile All-weather multi-purpose ground-to-air tactical missile developed by the United States. Used to deal with modern equipment of high-performance aircraft, and can destroy short-range missiles in an electronic jamming environment, intercept tactical ballistic missiles and submarine-launched cruise missiles. The missile has a length of 5.31 meters, a projectile diameter of 0.41 meters, a weight of 1 ton, a maximum flight speed of 6 times the speed of sound, and a maximum range of 80 kilometers. The warhead is a high-energy explosive fragmentation type. The Patriot missile played an important role in the 1991 Gulf War.
The current highest model of the "Patriot" missile is the PAC-3. The test of the United States to develop the National Missile Defense (NMD) system was completed by the PAC-3, with a success rate of about 50%. The US military has begun to form a PAC-3 missile battalion.
After the Gulf War, the export volume of "Patriot" missiles increased significantly. The United States has also stepped up its deployment and improvement of the "Patriot"-led defense network in Israel and other Central ASEAN countries. In a possible war with Iraq, the mission of the "Patriots" is to keep an eye on the few "Scud" missiles in Saddam's hands and prevent the "Scud" that can carry biochemical warheads from hitting the targets of the US military and allies.
The'Scud' missile is also a very famous missile. During the Gulf War, Lao Mei's nerves were highly nervous!
Scud missile is a term that has been accepted by the public, referring to a series of tactical ballistic missiles developed and widely exported by the former Soviet Union during the Cold War. The name was derived from the NATO codename SS-1 Scud, and it was the Western Intelligence Agency that associated the word'Scud' with a type of missile. The Russian names of this missile are R-11 (the first version) and R-300Elbrus (a later version). The name Scud is not only used by the media for these two missiles, but also refers to many types of missiles developed by other countries based on Soviet prototypes.
The Scud missile is about 11 meters long, 0.8 meters in diameter, 1.8o0 meters in wingspan and 5.9 tons in take-off weight. The warhead weighs 1 ton, can hold 860 kg of explosives, and has a killing radius of about 150 meters. The missile uses inertial guidance, with a maximum range of 300 kilometers and a maximum speed of 1,500 msec. The type of warhead is conventional warhead or chemical or nuclear warhead. Circular probability error: about 300 meters when the range is 300 kilometers. The Soviet Union deployed a total of 620 Scud B missiles.
The "Scud B" missile weapon system includes missiles and ground equipment. The ground equipment mainly includes a three-purpose vehicle for transportation, erection and launching, with a length of 12 meters, a width of 2.9 meters, and a height of 2 meters, with a maximum road speed of 60 kilometers per hour. In addition, there are a large number of ground measuring vehicles, command vehicles, power supply vehicles, propellant filling vehicles, test vehicles, fire engines, etc. Scud B missiles are mainly used to strike enemy airfields, missile launch sites, command centers, military installations, troop concentration areas, and transportation hubs. It can implement fixed-point launching at the pre-determined launch point location, that is, a fixed launching position, and the preparation time can be shorter. When the convoy enters the launch position, the vehicle deployment time is not counted. From predicting the position, erecting, refueling, checking, withdrawing the vehicle, and igniting the launch, it takes 45 minutes to go smoothly. Mobile launches can also be carried out on unmeasured launch positions, but the preparation time is longer, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
Before studying his own air defense missiles, Zhao Zhongyao wrote down the missile information he knew before his death.
He wants to study now and look at these missiles, which are what he needs. And it should be easy to develop. It will be developed soon!
He knows that the air defense missiles he is currently studying are mainly used to deal with high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, not to deal with missiles.
Because there is no such weapon as a missile in this world! And what I developed is a brand new weapon in this world!
The missile was originally a weapon developed to deal with high-altitude fighter jets. Because with the development of the aviation industry, the power of aero engines continues to increase, the speed of fighter jets is getting faster and faster, and the altitude of flight is getting higher and higher.
In this case, ordinary anti-aircraft guns are already powerless against advanced fighters. In order to be able to deal with high-altitude fighter jets, some military industry experts have developed this type of air defense missile!
Due to the development of missile technology, the missile itself can be used against missiles. Anti-aircraft missiles are not only used to hit aircraft, they can also be used against enemy missiles.
However, the missiles used to deal with enemy missiles must be developed very advanced and the guidance system must be very precise.
Because the volume of the missile is smaller than that of the airplane, and the speed of flight is much faster. Using missiles to deal with missiles in this way is much more difficult.
The missile that Zhao Zhongyao is developing now is used to deal with high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft. It is not used to deal with enemy missiles. Because there is no such weapon as a missile in this world!
