Military Industry of Great Powers: Build the Strongest Flanker

Time passed very quickly, and it took more than a month. The assembly of three sample bombs of R530 modification was completed, and they were immediately sent to the Lanzhou test site of the air command to be loaded with fuel for testing.

Zhao Guoqing did not follow.

Three days later, I received feedback from Muhu.

"Director Zhao, the three missiles accurately hit the target. During the terminal laser guidance, we also conducted strong electromagnetic interference and thermite interference bombs on the missiles. The results are very satisfying!"

"As long as you are satisfied!"

"What's the meaning?"

"..."

The R530 modification is actually the French Magic R530, which is replaced with the latest guidance system, and the design of the two-stage extended-range rocket shows in actual measurements that it is just an extended-range rocket.

The speed of the first twenty kilometers cannot exceed the speed of sound.

What does this mean?

This shows that in the early stage, the r530 modification could not catch up with most fighters.

The radar boot guidance can detect others, but it also exposes oneself.

Zhao Guoqing feels that if the missile structure is not significantly modified, it will not be practical at all. It is better to remove the extended-range two-stage rocket. The effective attack range is about 40 kilometers, which is more practical.

Chen Qiurong also agreed with Zhao Guoqing's point of view. He made two suggestions for the air missile. One is to remove the two-stage rocket and get an air-to-air missile that can be used immediately, but the range is reduced by half.

The second suggestion is to redesign the missile body, but the time cannot be guaranteed.

"We don't have much technical accumulation on the body of medium and long-range air-to-air missiles. The single front wing still needs to be demonstrated, which may take a long time!"

"About how long will it take?"

"The progress is going well. It will take two or three years, but there may be more funds needed!"

If we develop it from scratch, it will definitely not work without a few hundred million, and there will be no reference, so we will start from scratch.

Whether to use a single front wing like the Monster Snake 3, a double front wing like the R530, a mid-range wing like the Sparrow 7, or joint control with the tail wing, Chen Qiurong has no idea how to choose between several technical routes!

Mu Hu also felt that it was difficult to make a choice. At 40 kilometers, it only took a dozen seconds for the fighter jets to rush in both directions. If the first shot missed, with the JH-7's maneuverability, he would definitely be beaten to death.

A long range of one hundred kilometers is what he wants!

The disappointed Mr. Mu soon received good news again.

"Mr. Mu, we have reached an agreement with the Italian Senenia Company and spent US$55 million to introduce 85 Aspaid medium-range air-to-air missiles. This arms purchase has passed the review!"

Mr. Mu opened his mouth wide and was too excited to speak. After a while, he said: "Your General Equipment Department finally did something about personnel..."

"..."

The Air Force is eager for equipment. West Germany's "Roland" system, the British "Longsword" system, the French "Sidewinder", and of course the American "Sparrow" system are all targets.

However, the AIM series of missiles were wasted for seven or eight years due to various reasons. The West's Roland and the French Sidewinder were not considered for sale at all. The British Long Sword was also stopped by the United States because it was too advanced.

Fortunately, Italy's Aspeide finally relented, and the United States also gave the green light.

The reason is very simple. Aspad is an improved design imitating the American AIM-7P Sparrow medium-range missile from 20 years ago. Its performance cannot keep up with the Sparrow AIM-7M medium-range missile from ten years ago, let alone the current top-notch missile. AIM120 is also slowly being produced and equipped with the army.

But Chinese military workers can always find bright spots in seemingly backward military products.

Zhao Guoqing asked on the phone: "Mr. Mu, are you saying that we have introduced Italy's Aspaid medium-range air-to-air missiles?"

Mr. Mu said: "Yes, the next step must be the old rule, reverse it first. Now I really want to know if I can install the lidar of your 101 Institute."

"..."

What to say if there is no information.

Zhao Guoqing said: "Mr. Mu, can you send a copy of Aspaide's technical information to the 14th Institute? It would be better if there are live ammunition!"

"You said you want to send the missiles to No. 14?"

Zhao Guoqing nodded and said: "You can dismantle the warhead and drain the fuel, but you have to tell the people at Factory 317 that after disassembly, the center of gravity must be maintained and a counterweight of the same mass must be added!"

"Okay, I understand! Just ask for instructions!"

Teacher Xiao Zhao was also relieved. After the introduction of Aspad, the Air Force finally had two powerful weapons, mid-range and combat weapons. At least it could temporarily relieve its fear of insufficient firepower.

Moreover, Aspad and AIM120 are of the same origin, with almost the same aerodynamic system and flight control.

It's just that the AIM120 projectile is more slender and has lower air resistance. The titanium alloy high-strength material used gives it a better overload ratio. In addition, it is replaced with a better-performing bore dual-burn solid-state rocket engine to make it more maneuverable. Even better.

Then there is the guidance system. The front end is inertia plus command correction, and the back end is the first to install an active radar on a missile. The technical difficulty is not high.

In fact, for terminal guidance, in addition to laser guidance, Teacher Xiao Zhao prefers a high-sensitivity indium antimonide seeker, which can lock the infrared characteristic value from the front and attack from the front without biting the tail. However, in this way The seeker is greatly affected by jamming bombs, but fortunately it is cheap.

Active radar seekers can only be used by rich people like the United States. They can be used in all weathers and are not affected by aluminum foil jamming bombs.

But this missile is not without its shortcomings. The AIM120 is most afraid of electromagnetic interference.

Various guidance methods have their own advantages and disadvantages...

…………

Fierro is a reporter for the Washington Post Supplement and Popular Electronics section, Hayes is a reporter for Silicon Valley Weekly, and Helen is a reporter for Business Weekly.

The three people got to know each other because they were on the same flight. Oh, no, they formed a small group because they were going to the same place for interviews.

"China's EDA software? Oh, NONONO, I'm just here for a trip!"

"Haha, Hayes, your thoughts are similar to mine, but..."

Fierro said, pointing to the white guy in the back row wearing high-visibility glasses.

"I've brought an expert here. If he says that China's EDA is rubbish, I'll have three days off!"

Hayes's interest was still in Helen. Helen, who was in her twenties and had blond hair, was at a charming age. He said to Helen: "I know a few interesting places in China. Helen, I want to go there." Don’t try it!”

Fierro shrugged and said, "Besides a hotel room, he wouldn't think there is any other place that would be more fun."

"..."

The day before Christmas, a group of people arrived in Lucheng. They asked the Hui Province Ministry of Foreign Affairs for help, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs contacted Zhao Guoqing.

Zhao Guoqing received an interview request from a foreign reporter relayed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. After questioning, he found out that it was a mainstream newspaper like the Washington Post and Silicon Valley, and he readily agreed.

Xintu Company is about to make its debut in the international community.
