Chapter 834 834 Red Flag
In the era without GPS navigation, the accuracy of missiles can actually be made slightly higher.It's just that this device is quite expensive, and it's called the Starlight Navigation System.

This thing can control the attack error of ballistic missiles within 200 meters in the era without satellite positioning and navigation, which is a miracle.

However, the price of this thing is also "leveraging", so the cost of the missile itself has also risen with the tide.

Under normal circumstances, in order to reduce the cost of missiles, the producer will not add this sophisticated and expensive guidance system to unimportant missiles.

Tang's Dongfeng series of ballistic missiles did not adopt this new system, which was immature at the time and whose development progress was lagging behind, because they were catching up with the progress of the war.

But now, everything has changed.

In the end, the Dongfeng-3 ballistic missile was not able to be put into actual combat before the end of the war, so all research and development speeds can be slowed down.

Many performance indicators that had to be compromised at that time have also been restored: Tang State canceled the "1700-kilometer range" requirement tailored for the capital of the Dahua Empire.

Therefore, it is the "full body" version with a range of more than 2000 kilometers that has actually started mass production and deployment.This strategic weapon with a super-high range is of course also equipped with starlight navigation equipment.

This is actually a real Dongfeng 3 missile. There is no difference except that the navigation system is more advanced and the nuclear warhead is not installed.

Completely different from the cheap Scud missiles, Tang Guo's Dongfeng 3 missiles, supported by Tang Mo's technology, took a truly sophisticated path.

Tang Mo hoped that this ballistic missile would still have considerable strategic deterrence capabilities without the support of nuclear warheads.

In fact, he did it too. This new type of ballistic missile, which has begun to be secretly deployed, has an attack error of no more than 200 meters under the limit range state.

For a city-level target, this attack accuracy is already terrifying: the Scud missile currently equipped in Tang State has an attack accuracy of as much as 300 meters after flying 300 kilometers.

"Have you heard?" In the drawing room, an engineer in overalls had just completed a drawing, and raised his head to ask his companion.

They don't have any secrets here, because the area they are in itself is a secret to Tang Guo.

These engineers have their own residences, their own living facilities, their children have their own kindergartens, and there are hospitals and schools in the factory. It is a one-stop service from kindergartens to cemeteries.

People living here may never have any interaction with people outside, and they are not willing to have any intersection: everything here is the best, why leave?
The companion next to him raised his head curiously: "What did you hear?"

The engineer who initiated the topic quickly showed off the gossip he had heard: "I heard that because of the Dragon Island incident, the technical department is preparing to launch a new weapon research and development project."

"Are you talking about this? I've heard about it." The companion nodded immediately. It's no secret to them.

The engineer who spoke first continued to sigh: "Half of the entire anti-aircraft weapon technology department has been transferred to participate in the research and development of new projects, and the development of subsequent models of the 88mm caliber anti-aircraft gun has been cancelled..."

The companion also laughed and said: "Ha! That's a new anti-aircraft gun. Less than 1000 of them have been deployed, so they are about to be eliminated?"

"Isn't that right, but the 40mm caliber anti-aircraft guns produced earlier have been in mass production, do you think it's interesting?" the engineer who spoke first asked while laying new drawings on the drawing board.

The companion didn't know, so he could only say casually: "I don't know what those chief engineers think, who knows why."

"Let me tell you, the new project code name has just been finalized." The engineer who spoke first lowered his voice mysteriously, showing off his sense of hearing.

"Code name? What's it called?" the engineer who spoke to him asked curiously.

The engineer who started the topic finally got to the point, and proudly said two words: "Red flag!"

Hearing the code name of this project, the engineer who spoke to him nodded his head and said in admiration, "Listen...not bad."

Yes, Tang Guo is secretly developing a brand new air defense weapon, namely the Hongqi 2 air defense missile.This thing is called S-75 in the Soviet Union, and the nickname given by the opponent is Sam 2. It looks tall and mighty.

Although it looks huge, it is actually an anti-aircraft missile.The early warning search radar used in the whole system has a design theoretical range of 275 kilometers, and is equipped with an altimetry radar, which can basically detect the three-dimensional coordinates of the target.

The difference from before is that the whole system has a new auxiliary radar, which is responsible for indicating tracking and guidance. The range of this radar is 65 kilometers.

In addition, the fire control radar can find targets 70 kilometers away. This system can automatically track the target with a tracking distance of 55 kilometers. It adopts a mechanical dual-antenna and dual-beam scanning method, which can track 6 batches of targets and guide 3 missiles at the same time. Attack a target.

The whole system is actually very large, but the performance can only be said to be average.But it fulfilled the dream of many people: a weapon that will automatically attack distant targets, achieving the feat of destroying targets beyond visual range.

Although it can only attack one target at a time, it does achieve a wider coverage and better accuracy than the anti-aircraft gun.

Another good news is: the battlefield environment faced by this missile is better than its "real body". You must know that when the S-2, that is, the Sam 2 missile was born, jet fighters were already flying all over the sky.

But Tang State is different. Tang State’s anti-aircraft missiles need to face the propeller planes of various countries. To put it bluntly, it is really overkill.

As long as the radar locks on the target, the probability of the missile hitting the target is infinitely close to [-]%, because the target is too weak.

In terms of price, using missiles to attack propeller aircraft may be a bit like shooting mosquitoes with anti-aircraft guns.Maybe, the price of that plane is not as expensive as Tang's air defense missiles.

Another interesting thing is that because the opponent's aircraft is too old, Tang Guo's air defense missiles have a little "flaw".

After all, the speed of the planes of these other countries is too slow, so the propeller planes of various countries can fly very low, and fly very slowly - but Tang's air defense missiles can only hit medium and high altitude targets, and they have nothing to do with low altitudes .

This is also a technical flaw. Early anti-aircraft missiles were unable to deal with low-altitude targets. The missiles that specialize in targeting low-altitude targets only appeared later.

The second flaw is that this missile has too few guidance channels, so there is no way to counter large-scale target invasion.

If the enemy dispatched 100 planes to invade the defense area at one go, it is estimated that the air defense missile force can deal with less than one-fifth of the planes at the same time.

Because each launch battalion is equipped with six launchers arranged in a hexagon, it can only attack one target at the same time.It is almost impossible to deploy more than a dozen missile battalions at the same time.

The missile is a two-stage engine. The first-stage solid-fuel booster works for 4-5 seconds, with a projectile diameter of 0.645 meters; the second-stage fuming nitric acid-kerosene liquid engine works for 22 seconds, with a projectile diameter of 0.5 meters and a thrust of 2650 kg.

As long as it is locked on, the target is unlikely to escape: Although a missile battalion can only lock on one target at a time, it can use up to three missiles to launch an attack at the same time. The probability of interception is quite terrifying, but the interception efficiency is not high.

Therefore, while researching new missiles, Tang Guo's aircraft research and development department is also crazily rushing to get the first generation of jet fighters out as soon as possible to deal with the almost non-existent "air supremacy crisis".

Yes, Tang State is developing the next generation of fighter jets, but countries around the world can't even produce a real fighter jet that can deal with the butcher fighter.
