Chapter 933 "Broken Shadow" Series Anti-Tank Missiles
In fact, there are not many new projects in the technology research and development center, only a few.No way, the entire technology research and development center is now in a bottleneck period.The products of the previous technology research and development center were mainly for individual equipment, such as this individual weapon system, which includes the family of automatic assault rifles, sniper rifles, large-caliber sniper rifles, submachine guns, assault pistols, self-defense pistols, etc. .Then there are all kinds of ammunition and auxiliary ammunition that are matched with these firearms, such as the various types and uses of grenades, smoke bombs, incendiary bombs, shock bombs, flash bombs and other throwing ammunition.Later, Jiang Chen and the others developed various types of machine guns and grenade launchers.There are general-purpose machine guns for supporting squad operations, and heavy fire support weapons such as Gatling machine guns for fire support.

In terms of grenade launchers, there are single-shot grenade launchers similar to the old American M79, and there are also grenade launchers that hang on the firearms.Furthermore, under the guidance of Jiang Chen, a research and development team developed a sniper grenade launcher equipped with six to twelve rounds, which is used to target point targets or important facilities within a distance of 1000 meters. and light vehicles for precision strikes.Then, there is the automatic grenade launcher for fire coverage, which is used for fire strikes on exposed targets, and to support the company's defense or offensive operations.Of course, there is also a heavy fire support firepower, and that is the rocket launcher.At present, the R&D team has developed three types of bazookas of various calibers, namely light 60MM, medium 80MM and heavy 120MM, which can be freely selected by users.Among them, the 80MM is the most abundant, and it is also the main recommendation of R&D Jiang Chen.In addition to a variety of warheads for users to choose freely according to different targets, this model is also equipped with a disposable launcher, which can be directly carried and used by infantry without occupying the establishment. It can be discarded after launch, and it is easy to use.

These are the main products of the B17 factory at the beginning. Although they are all carefully developed by the R&D team, they are also at the leading level in the market.But the technical content is relatively low, basically there is no technical advantage.In order to win orders, or to attract customers, Jiang Chen and the others had to take the boutique route.In this way, its cost will be greatly increased.And the price of these individual weapons and equipment itself is there, it cannot be too much higher, so the profit margin left to Jiang Chen and the others is actually not too rich.Of course, this can also be passed, and it is not bad.But neither Jiang Chen nor others are the kind of masters who are content with the status quo, so they must develop and improve.

It was this kind of restlessness that prompted Jiang Chen and the entire R&D team to come up with new ones, and thus this missile project came into being.The missile project consists of a missile project team divided into two research and development groups.The first team is in charge of air defense missiles. At present, the "Zhifeng" type A and B missiles have been launched, and the Zhaifeng C type is under development. It is expected that it will be put into mass production soon. It can be said that the entire air defense The missile research and development team has made remarkable achievements and achieved a lot.And because the added value of the missile is relatively high, the profit is also very rich. This air show alone has won orders worth tens of millions of dollars, which makes the entire research and development team in a process of excitement.

In contrast, the anti-tank missile research and development team, although the results are also good, but so far they have been living on their laurels.The anti-tank missile, named as "Poying" in foreign trade, has been developed into two models.The first model, that is, the individual anti-tank missile, is the Shaying-A type.Later, as Jiang Chen and his team deepened the research and development of anti-tank missiles in terms of electronic components and integrated circuits, and the R&D team upgraded the technology of this missile, so there was the broken missile that Jiang Chen and the others are now selling. Shadow A-2 individual anti-tank missile.This new model, in addition to the superior performance of the original anti-tank missile, the research and development team added a new armor-piercing warhead for them, which greatly increased the armor-piercing thickness of the missile.

In addition, this missile has been replaced with a new launch recommended drug formula, which has greatly increased the range of this missile, and its maximum range can reach 4000 meters.Of course, the range of the foreign trade type has shrunk to a considerable extent, but its range has also reached more than 3000 meters.Anti-tank missiles can be launched outside the range of most tanks in active service and in the future, which greatly improves the safety of anti-tank team members.Moreover, with the technological advancement of electronic components and micro-integrated circuits, coupled with the new propellant formula, the missile body and weight have been reduced a lot, making it easier to carry and hide.

The guidance method of the missile, from the original optical aiming and tracking, infrared semi-automatic guidance, and wired transmission command guidance, has been upgraded to infrared heat source tracking guidance and TV cable control guidance through hard public relations.In an emergency, it can also get rid of the restriction of the control wire to the missile, and control it through radio waves.At present, the R&D team is studying new guidance methods, such as infrared irradiation edge-finding and tracking guidance, and laser transmission command guidance with stronger anti-interference.However, this aspect involves technical difficulties in light point conversion, which is still under research.Of course, these series of improvements have greatly increased the missile's hit accuracy and lethality.But the corresponding price has also increased a lot, so at present, the Poying-A and Poying A-2 individual anti-tank missiles are sold together, and the market response is good.

The following Poying B anti-tank missile is actually developed and improved on the basis of Poying A-2.This missile can no longer be described as a single soldier, because in order to increase its range and armor-piercing power, this missile has increased the volume and weight of the missile body, thus forming a new anti-tank missile model Shattering B type.Because it is too large, it can no longer be used in individual teams.And the users of this missile are no longer individual soldiers or anti-tank teams, but jeeps, armored vehicles or off-road vehicles with mobility, or helicopters.That's right, this missile was designed and developed for these platforms, just to form a system with the previous Shaying-A type.Because the size has increased, the R&D team has added many new functions to it.For example, as long as this missile locks on the target, it will automatically seek the edge and attack, and the launch vehicle and helicopter will no longer guide, which can make the launch platform quickly out of danger.In addition, the high-explosive armor-piercing warhead equipped with this anti-tank missile is powerful enough to penetrate the frontal armor of all main station tanks in the world. It can be said that as long as it is locked by this missile, unless the tank has an active defense system, otherwise it will Just wait to be torn apart. [The activity of naming weapons and equipment is ongoing. If you are interested, you can communicate with me in the comments or in the book friend group, and I will adopt it in due course. 】
