3000: C3000 Red Flag 9b

C3000 Red Flag 9b

"Our air-defense missiles seem to be making good progress." Just as the navy joint military exercise was about to begin, Qin Guan also came to the Second Aerospace Institute to inspect the research and development of the new generation of air-defense missiles.

In terms of anti-aircraft missiles, the range was getting further and further away, and the ability to intercept was also getting higher and higher. These were inevitable results. After all, technology was constantly improving.

The performance of their own Red Flag Nine Missile was already pretty good. Especially since... In order to increase their shooting range, they had increased the third level of the improved Red Flag Nine Missile. It already had a shooting range of 200 kilometers, blocking the Ballistic Missile within 1,000 kilometers. It would not be a problem.

However, this was not the best result. After all, 1,000 kilometers could only be called a short-range missile. To intercept a mid-range missile or even an intercontinental missile, the technology needed would be even more advanced.

In the past, Qin Guan had mentioned that they needed to develop anti-air missiles with a longer range. They needed to have better performance, and they even needed high-speed warheads that could fly outside the atmosphere.

Now, it had been one or two years since he had made these requests and given all kinds of specific information. He came here again to inspect, and what he saw was a serious expression on the technician's face.

The chief designer was still Elder Zhong, because of his outstanding performance in anti-aircraft missiles. He was also known as the father of red wine. Hmm, this name sounded very strange. Elder Zhong did not drink much, nor did he like red wine. And this red wine was the meaning of Red Flag Nine.

As for the project that was currently being carried out, it was temporarily called Red Flag Nine B. It was still part of the Red Flag Nine Series.

Now that President Qin came to inspect, Elder Zhong was naturally delighted. In the meeting room, he began to introduce it to Qin Guan.

"First of all, it's about the shooting range. We can't take the same path as the Bear Country. Over the past few years, the four aerospace institutes have been researching the more advanced Solid Rocket Engine. Now, we have made great progress. We are optimizing the propellers. After using a more advanced outer shell, the range of our air-defense missile... Basically, we can double the range and reach a range of 400 kilometers."

The old road in Bear Country was to pile fuel. Since the range was not high enough, alright. However, after adding fuel, the weight increases and the actual shooting range increases. It might not be able to effectively increase the range, but it would have to start with the engine.

It would be best if the size of the missile did not change too much. There was no benefit in continuously piling up the volume. For example, if they wanted the navy's current warships to be able to use it... One had to be able to stuff it into the existing anti-air missile Launch Well.

It was fine if the size was small, but if the size was too large, it would not be good.

He could only rely on more advanced propulsion technology.

400 kilometers of range, of course, was an extreme number. The range and the shooting speed were never all achieved.

"We have redesigned the entire bullet. The booster at the back was thicker, and the bullet at the front was thinner. This way, after the booster, the booster section will fall off as soon as possible. It would reduce the weight of the whole bullet, and when it was high up in the sky, the air was thin, making it easier to increase the range. The maximum shooting speed is more than 100 kilometers." Elder Zhong explained.

Qin Guan nodded. 400 kilometers of air-defense missiles was already a pretty good number. A missile like this would definitely have no problem intercepting the mid-range Ballistic Missile.

Then, the expression on Elder Zhong's face changed to one of disappointment. " However, when it came to developing the kinetic energy interceptor outside the atmosphere... We have failed several times, especially the plan you proposed... It's too difficult to destroy the target by precisely colliding with the target. "

The increase in range of their anti-air missiles was partly due to the fact that the weight of the Combat Department had been greatly reduced. If one wanted to look at it, this new anti-air missile had a much smaller warhead compared to the previous ones.

Intercepting it outside the atmosphere, the Air Force Rudder Surface cannot be used. It needs to be used other methods. On the other hand, it needs to be used in a precise collision!

Currently, not a single air-defense missile used a precise collision method. They all flew nearby and detonated the Combat Department, creating enough fragments. Then, they used the spreading of these fragments to kill the other party. After all... Aircraft are very fragile, using aluminum alloy and the like. Even a bird could cause a plane to crash, not to mention iron. As long as a nail hit a high-speed aircraft, it would be enough to create a huge hole in the aircraft.

As long as the explosion occurred, there would be enough fragments to cover the fighter aircraft that was flying over. However, if they wanted to accurately hit the aircraft, the technology needed would be quite strong.

Qin Guan nodded. He naturally knew about it. To accurately hit the aircraft, the technology needed was very high. This was just like the Bear Country in the 1960s. Just like the Anti-missile System, this kind of system was just using a nuclear bomb to blow up the enemy's nuclear bomb. The precision requirement was not high, and after another 50 years, Y Country only began to deploy the country's Ballistic Missile defense system, could this mean that the Y Country people's technology was even worse? Of course not, the people of the Y Country did not use nuclear bombs to intercept. Instead, they used a precise collision method to destroy the warhead. This method... The precision needed to be increased by several levels.

The difficulty of the technique was very high, but it had to be done. This was a necessary goal, because Qin Guan knew that the defensive technique of the Ballistic Missile had to be developed.

If no one developed, everyone would maintain the same standard. That was enough, but the Y Country would never be willing to do so. They must take the risk of the world's opposition to push forward their TMD and NMD. So what if they were against it overseas? They would do their own thing. They did not care about the opposition from the outside world at all.

In that case, they could only have this kind of technology on their own side. The Planet War that Actor President proposed actually had some projects that were developed later on. This kind of Intercontinental Ballistic Missile's defense system was precisely like this.

Of course, this kind of technology was very difficult. The people of Y Country had been developing this technology for decades, and it was also developed from continuous failures. Of course, Han Country had to go through this kind of process.

"By the way, this project of ours is still in the stage of our own research, right?" Qin Guan suddenly asked.

Elder Zhong nodded. This project was an absolute secret and had not been opened to the public yet. When Qin Guan asked this question, he also reacted. "President Qin, are you saying that you want to ask some experts from Bear Country to help you?"

Qin Guan nodded. "We can find some reliable Bear Country experts to join this project. After all, the technology of the people of Bear Country in space is also very powerful."

They were actually still a baby when it came to aerospace. The Bear Country and the Y Country were only at the adulthood level. This kind of interceptor outside the atmosphere. What they needed was a high level Aerospace Technology. Perhaps, they could ask for their help.1

In any case, there were already many experts from Bear Country who were used to living in the Han Country.
