Chapter 1371 The sliding guided bomb that flipped several times

Hearing the words of Deputy Chief Zhao and Director Song, Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "Actually, we have also taken into account what Deputy Chief Zhao is worried about. So we are thinking about how to avoid this. The disadvantages. Finally, after a long period of hard research and demonstration, we decided to install a pair of wings on this precision guided bomb."

"Installed a pair of wings?" Everyone wondered.

Yes, Jiang Chen nodded and explained: "That's right, it is to install a pair of wings. Basically, all aircraft rely on the lift provided by the wings to fly in the air. And this kind of precision-guided bomb without power, before So the range is relatively short, because it only relies on inertia and gravity acceleration to fly, so the range is naturally relatively low. So, we thought that if we could install a pair of wings on this missile like an airplane, and then use the wings If it glides through the air with enough lift, then its range will be greatly improved."

"It's a bit like a glider. Some gliders are taken into the air by the plane, and then released to fly, and then rely on the inertial speed given by the mother plane, and then glide to the target area." Director Zhao thoughtfully.

"Hehe, that is indeed the case. It is a bit like the wings of a cruise missile, except that it has no power. However, it is not ruled out that a rocket propeller will be installed at the tail of the improved model in the future to further increase the size of the missile. Its range." Jiang Chen explained with a smile.

"Then according to what you said, what is the range of this gliding guided bomb?" Deputy Chief Zhao still pays more attention to the range, so he asked this as the first question.

"This depends on the actual situation. The difference in altitude and speed of the aircraft will also affect the range of this gliding guided bomb. The maximum range we have tested so far is at an altitude of 7000 meters. One was used to simulate the launch of a gliding bomb, and this simulated gliding bomb flew forty kilometers." Jiang Chen returned with a smile.

Well, everyone nodded, obviously approving this result.If it is really possible to reach a range of more than [-] kilometers without power, then the previous bombing method will change.Moreover, fundamental changes will also take place in the air force's attack tactics against air-to-ground targets.

"You just said that there is no motivation, so what about the situation with motivation?" Deputy Chief Zhao continued to ask.

Jiang Chen thought for a while and then said: "If power is installed, the range will continue to increase. We have made estimates in this regard. As far as installing a 150 kg glide guided bomb is concerned, its maximum range is likely to exceed [-] kilometers, or even [-] kilometers."

"Can it really reach this far?" Deputy Chief Zhao stood up and said a little uneasy.

Jiang Chen nodded and said: "This is just our preliminary estimate, and we haven't tested it yet. But the actual result should be similar to this, and if a larger-sized glide-guided bomb is chosen, then it means that its propellant Just more, and the range will be farther, even reaching the limit range of four to five hundred kilometers."

"It's so far away, isn't it comparable to missiles, or even replacing missiles for area penetration attacks?" Everyone exclaimed.

Jiang Chen nodded, then shook his head and said, "This is technically feasible and can be practiced. But it is unrealistic or wrong in thinking, because this gliding guided bomb has a fatal shortcoming, and this The disadvantage is that it cannot undertake the long-distance and high-strength penetration strike mission like a missile."

"You mean its speed?" Deputy Chief Zhao responded.

That's right, Jiang Chen nodded and said, "The biggest problem with it is its speed. It doesn't have enough power like a missile. Its main source of power is the inertia and the lift of its wings. Even if it is installed on its tail Rocket propulsion, but it still cannot reach the speed of the missile. Like the current international surface-to-ground missiles, the terminal attack speed can reach Mach [-] or [-], but this gliding guided bomb can only reach Mach [-] or so. So in this way, if the enemy's ground air defense firepower is strong, it will be easily intercepted by the enemy, and its air penetration capability will be greatly reduced."

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, everyone calmed down.Thinking about it carefully, this is indeed the case, so the little excitement just now disappeared.Director Song looked at the expressions of everyone and said with a smile: "The so-called coincidence and clumsiness are all days. There is nothing so perfect in this world. No matter what it is, it will have its own advantages and disadvantages. We must also Learn to look at problems with a dialectical perspective.”

"Well, indeed, although its speed is a bit slow, and its defense penetration ability is not too high. But it still has its advantages. First, it is cheap. Second, it has a relatively long range. Third, it is naturally The accuracy is relatively high, and it can be used as a supplement to missiles for combat." Deputy Chief Zhao also nodded.

As for Jiang Chen, at this time, he turned around and said: "Actually, it is not so useless in terms of penetration and penetration capabilities. Compared with missiles, it also has its advantages."

"Oh, so what?" Everyone became interested again.

And Deputy Chief Zhao was even more angry at Jiang Chen: "I said you boy, say everything at once, so intermittently, it's tempting, look for a fight!"

"Hehe, don't worry, I'll explain it to you and everyone." Jiang Chen said to everyone with a smile: "Actually, just like what Director Song said just now, we need to use a dialectical perspective when looking at problems. So The disadvantages I just mentioned, if you look at it from another perspective, are they not its advantages."

Um?Everyone was puzzled again, but Jiang Chen smiled and continued: "Think about it, everyone, compared to airplanes, whether it's a missile or a bomb of this type, its size is very small, whether it's on the radar screen , or in terms of naked eye observation, it is very small. Then it is naturally difficult to be found when flying in the vast sky, or the difficulty of finding and intercepting a hit is naturally greatly increased."

Seeing everyone nodding, Jiang Chen continued: "This second one, although it has no power compared to missiles, even if it has power, it is still a booster. Its working time is very short, usually only Halfway through the work, one section stops working, and then relies on the gliding of the wings to approach the target. The other engine power used for this gliding guided bomb is relatively small, so the heat generated during work and the noise are relatively small .

Moreover, most of the current missile interception technologies, in addition to relying on the dense firepower network woven by rapid-fire guns, mostly rely on missiles.The guidance method of this interceptor missile generally adopts infrared tracking guidance technology.Then, in the face of this kind of gliding guided bomb with no tail flame, no heat, or less heat, its interception success rate will naturally be greatly reduced. "

Speaking of this, everyone's eyes became brighter and brighter.Jiang Chen said with a smile: "Then relying on such advantages, using this kind of gliding bomb with small targets, low noise, and not easy to be detected, intercepted. Used for some special attack missions, I think it will still play an unexpected role. "

Papapapapa,,, Everyone applauded after hearing Jiang Chen's words, including Director Song, and Deputy Chief Zhao who looked excited and didn't know what else to think.
