Chapter 468 Rebirth of Anti-aircraft Artillery (Aircraft Artillery)
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Jiang Chen said, "Then let me say a few words."

Jiang Chen looked at Shi Lan and said, "Your idea is very good, and it caught my eye. To tell you the truth, this is also in my plan, but I haven't brought it up. I'm actually thinking about the same thing as Hongyi. The idea is similar. The main consideration is that if more barrels and calibers are added, its volume and weight will increase greatly, and its ammunition supply will also increase, and the consumption of ammunition and supplies will greatly increase. Overall To put it bluntly, there are actually two issues. The first is how to maintain its flexibility due to its large size, weight and consumption of ammunition.”

Jiang Chen looked at what everyone said: "This point cannot be solved by us here alone, so I found another way. Everyone knows that my company has built a car factory, and now it produces the first small car. Cars have been sold out of the factory. But what everyone does not know is that we are developing off-road vehicles with excellent off-road passing ability and high mobility, and trucks with greater load capacity and traction. Then if we equip these weapons On these off-road vehicles and trucks, or rely on them for delivery, will this problem of mobility be solved?"

Glancing at Wang Hongyi, Jiang Chen continued: "The second question, is it necessary? We should look at this issue from two aspects. Maybe this is for infantry or ground targets. It may not be necessary. First of all, the value of the ground target is relatively low. If the consumption of a piece of equipment is greater than the value of the target it treats, then it is not worthwhile and there is no need. And add For Tring, its structure is more complicated than that of ordinary machine guns, which makes its price and cost relatively high, troublesome to use, difficult to equip, and difficult to maintain. If it cannot play an absolute role If so, then its value will also be weakened, and there will be no troops to equip it. With the gradual progress and development of military technology and combat methods, there will be three-dimensional and comprehensive combat manifestations on the battlefield. Large-scale ground warfare, large-group charges, and large-scale decisive battles will no longer appear. Asymmetric warfare will become the mainstream of future operations, and the combat thinking of using it to deal with the enemy's large-scale targets will also be outdated."

Jiang Chen saw Shi Lan who was in a hurry, and then said with a smile, "Don't worry, just finish listening. Then someone will ask, since it doesn't help much, why should I support it? Then can we change our thinking?" , what if, instead of using it against ground targets, we use it against air targets and sea targets?"

Seeing everyone's interest, Jiang Chen continued, "Yes, to deal with air targets. With the development of technology and the diversification of war situations, the proportion of the air force in the army is getting higher and higher. From the perspective of advanced air forces, this trend is also present. Our current two major world military systems, the Warsaw Pact and NATO, have invested heavily in the air force. In this way, the threat of the air force to the army will become more and more Great. In this way, if we want to preserve the army's combat effectiveness and anti-strike capability, we must need a more advanced air defense system. Let's not talk about missiles, let's talk about anti-aircraft artillery first. Some people say that with With the development of anti-aircraft missiles, anti-aircraft artillery is still an anti-aircraft gun and will soon withdraw from the stage of history. I think this view is wrong. For a long time in the future, anti-aircraft artillery cannot be replaced by missiles. First of all, it is very Cheap, the cost of a bullet or shell is much cheaper than a missile, no matter how many bullets or shells are used, it is far less than the cost of a missile.”

Jiang Chen glanced at Wang Hongyi and continued: "The second is its anti-jamming capability. Compared with missiles, the advantages of anti-aircraft shells are that they have a fast rate of fire, can create a continuous dense barrage, and the trajectory of the shells will not be disturbed." , the efficiency of short-range air defense is high. The emergence of programmable ammunition also alleviates the accuracy problem of anti-aircraft guns to a certain extent. When the distance is relatively long, the anti-aircraft artillery group can force local attack aircraft or bombers to change course by means of barrage, which is not possible for missiles Yes. Air defense missiles, especially the current air defense missiles, mainly use infrared tracking guidance and radar active guidance. These two methods are easily interfered by enemy aircraft and thus lose the target. For example, the infrared on this aircraft Jamming bombs have great interference with infrared anti-aircraft missiles. This is also the main anti-missile device equipped by the Air Force. There is also this radar active guided missile, which is very affected by the magnesium belts dropped by the enemy. Although these are missiles The shortcoming is very small, but this is precisely the dead angle of the anti-aircraft missile. In some cases, it is almost fatal. So now there is a great need for an anti-aircraft weapon to make up for it. Undoubtedly, this anti-aircraft artillery, especially Velocity artillery is undoubtedly the best option."

"Currently, although large-caliber anti-aircraft guns are gradually being replaced by anti-aircraft missiles, countries still equip and develop a considerable number of anti-aircraft gun systems below 40 mm, and widely use multi-barreled connections, equipped with radar or photoelectric fire control systems, and artillery, fire control systems, etc. The trinity self-propelled anti-aircraft gun installed on a vehicle. In recent years, the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft missiles that have been developed and started to be installed in various countries are an important development trend of modern anti-aircraft weapons. Modern warfare proves that anti-aircraft guns are An important part of modern anti-aircraft weapon system. Several recent actual battles have shown that anti-aircraft missiles are not omnipotent, and they cannot completely replace anti-aircraft guns. Since the mid-60s, small-caliber anti-aircraft guns have been "favored" again. It responds quickly and hits the target High rate, multi-tube concentrated launch, can quickly destroy low-altitude attacking enemy planes. At present, countries are studying various new methods to improve the effectiveness of anti-aircraft guns in air combat. Anti-aircraft guns are developing in the direction of small-caliber, self-propelled, and guided shells. The air defense weapon system integrating missiles and anti-aircraft guns will play a huge role in future wars."

After inspecting everyone, Jiang Chen concluded: "Currently, I think that Shi Lan and the others' thinking is in line with the current development trend of all countries in the world. I am very relieved and happy about this. I am glad that you can Take the initiative to explore new technologies and ideas for the development and application of new equipment. An equipment research and development personnel who closely follows this advanced combat thinking will better understand what the troops need, and thus develop equipment that is widely praised by the troops and the market."
