Dominate South Asia

Babel High Tech Center.

Countless technicians gathered around the missile in front of them and praised it. The missile had a metallic sheen all over its body. It had a sharp front end and four circular air inlets at the back. The two front and rear wings could be folded. The volume is relatively large.

When Hamad walked in, the technicians were still studying and preparing to dismantle and survey.

"President Hamad!" At this moment, Shostakovich, who was sitting at the door drinking water, saw President Hamad walking in, and immediately shouted loudly, his heart full of excitement.

"Well, Xiao, you did a good job." Hamad said: "You can even get us such a big killer weapon."

"Report, as long as the president orders it, even if it is a spaceship, I can get it!" Shostakovich said this with confidence.

In the current Soviet Union, with the economic reform, a trend has emerged, and that is to make money! There are many ways to make money. For example, those in the military can use their power and loopholes in the military to smuggle arms. For example, the missile in front of you was obtained from the warehouse of the Black Sea Fleet. of!

Hamad naturally attaches great importance to this missile, because this missile is the Soviet supersonic anti-ship missile П-270 'Москит' (3M80), NATO code name SS-N-22, Sandfly anti-ship missile missile!

The biggest feature of this missile is its ability to fly at supersonic speeds. Ordinary anti-ship missiles, whether it is the American Harpoon, the French Exocet, or the Chinese Eagle, are all high-subsonic anti-ship missiles that use rocket thrust or Small turbojet engine, speed will not exceed Mach 0.8. The maximum speed of this anti-ship missile now exceeds Mach 3!

This means that the opponent's ability to react will be greatly reduced! due to the curvature of the earth. A general shipborne air defense radar can effectively detect an anti-ship missile flying close to the sea at a distance of no more than 20 kilometers. A general subsonic anti-ship missile takes 70 seconds; while the Sandfly supersonic anti-ship missile can detect Calculated at a speed of Mach 2.4, it can reach the attack target in 30 seconds. If calculated at a flight speed of 3.8 MHz, it can arrive in 20 seconds.

With such a short distance, even an Aegis battleship only has a short reaction time. It is difficult to achieve effective protection. This anti-ship missile was specially developed by the Soviets to break through the US Aegis system.

In later generations, the entire modern-class destroyer, including this anti-ship missile, was introduced to China and became China's warship with the largest displacement. At that time, the media carried overwhelming publicity, saying that the sandfly (also known as Sunzhi) on this warship Anti-ship missiles are aircraft carrier killers, specially designed to deal with American aircraft carrier formations. In fact, this is a bit of an exaggeration. The supersonic range of the sandfly is only about 120 kilometers. It is impossible to penetrate the protective net of the aircraft carrier formation. You must know that the protective distance of the aircraft carrier formation is at least four to five hundred kilometers. The outermost layer is the F-14 fighter jet. If the modern class desperately wants to launch an attack on the aircraft carrier, it will be intercepted by the overwhelming aircraft carrier-based aircraft before it can enter the launch distance. At that time, China obtained the modern-class destroyer mainly for the area air defense missiles on it.

However, it would be a big mistake to doubt the combat effectiveness of the Sandfly anti-ship missile, although it cannot deal with the entire aircraft carrier formation. There is absolutely no problem in bullying a lone surface ship. It is impossible for the aircraft carrier formation to operate together all the time. That would be too time-consuming.

The Sandfly anti-ship missile, which weighs four tons and has a warhead weight of 0.3 tons, can easily send a warship of tens of thousands of tons into the seabed with just one shot!

In later generations, the United States did not develop such anti-ship missiles. The most powerful offensive power of the United States is the aircraft carrier formation and the carrier-based aircraft on it. However, the Soviet Red Navy cannot compete with the aircraft carrier formation on the ocean, especially due to the influence of the theory of missile victory. The Soviet Union developed a series of supersonic anti-ship missiles.

At present, Pakistan only has the YJ-81 series of anti-ship missiles. Obviously it's not enough, we must have sharper arrows! Therefore, Mhamad originally planned to trade with the Soviet Union, exchanging a large number of Pakistan's light industrial products for such anti-ship missiles, and he also had a good personal relationship with Gorbachev.

But, who knew, the Soviets actually refused! Although they even sell Su-27 fighter jets everywhere, they are unwilling to export this missile!

Therefore, Mhammad could only use other methods. After receiving the instructions, Shostakovich quickly completed the task and obtained such a big thing from the Soviet Union.

"Mr. President!" Other technical staff stood up one after another and said hello to Mhamad. Mhamad looked at these people. They are all valuable missile experts of Pakistan. Some of them have studied in the Soviet Union and China. Now, they are all They were gathered here to prepare for the imitation of this anti-ship missile.

"Yes." Mhamad said, "Is it difficult for us to survey and map this anti-ship missile?"

"The surface of this missile is made of titanium alloy. We already have a mature titanium alloy processing system in China, and there is no problem in the manufacturing of the shell." A technician said.

A layman can see the excitement, but an expert can see the door. The metallic luster on the surface of this projectile is unique to titanium alloy. Since the missile will fly at a speed of Mach 3 and the temperature of the warhead will be as high as hundreds of degrees, ordinary materials will not work. The Soviets used titanium alloy without hesitation.

"The key point is the engine." Another technician said: "If you want to obtain a speed of Mach 3, you must use a ramjet engine. This Soviet missile uses an integrated ramjet and rocket engine. We must overcome this problem." It’s the engine technology that matters.”

"The avionics equipment is also a key point. The speed is fast, and the response speed of the control system must also keep up without lagging. We are confident in the electronics."

The division of labor is clear, and each has its own research aspects. The focus is still on the engine! A ramjet is a type of jet engine, but unlike aircraft jet engines that require complex compressors, combustion chambers, and turbines, this type of engine has a rather simple structure, without any rotating parts, and only contains an expanded intake duct and A convergent or convergent-divergent exit. When the engine moves forward at high speed, air is forced into the intake duct. Then the air flows through the expanded duct, the speed decreases and the pressure increases, which plays the role of the compressor of an ordinary engine. Then comes the combustion chamber. Under the action of fuel combustion, the hot expanding gas accelerates through the outlet duct and is discharge, generating thrust.

This kind of engine has a simple structure and a large thrust-to-weight ratio. For example, a ramjet engine with a cross-section of only 1 square meter can produce about 30,000 kilograms of thrust when flying at an altitude of 11 kilometers and a Mach number of 3.5. Its weight will not exceed 1 ton, and its thrust-to-weight ratio is as high as 30! Moreover, the faster the speed, the greater the thrust. Its excellent performance makes it the first choice for high-speed aircraft. However, it has a congenital flaw, that is, it must reach a certain speed, generally exceeding Mach 1, to allow air pressure to enter. The combustion chamber will do. If it is still air, the fuel cannot be fully burned to generate thrust.

Therefore, missiles using ramjet engines are equipped with rocket engines at the rear of the ramjet engine. When the missile is launched, the rocket engine first ignites; when the missile reaches a certain speed and altitude, the rocket engine stops working, then the ramjet engine starts working, and finally the missile is sent to the designated target.

This anti-ship missile uses a unique liquid ramjet engine that contains a detachable booster. It cleverly combines the existing liquid ramjet engine with the solid rocket motor, and the technology is simple and reliable. Four semicircular inlets are located in the middle of the missile, and the booster is placed in the engine combustion chamber. After launch, the booster accelerates the missile to the working speed of the ramjet engine. Afterwards, the burned booster falls off. At this time, the foldable flame stabilizer in the integrated liquid ramjet engine is deployed, the inlet baffle is broken, and the launch begins. Air is taken in, the igniter fires, and the engine starts working.

"It would be best if there were specialized technical information." The technician responsible for mapping the engine said that although it can now be surveyed and mapped, he doesn't know why it was designed this way in the first place, and it will not be able to reach the original technical level.

"I have already bought an engineer from the Rainbow Design Bureau." Shostakovich said: "This engineer will help us give us the data from the original development."

"Xiao, you are so good!" Hearing Shostakovich say this, the technician opened his eyes wide and looked at Shostakovich. His eyes were full of joy, and it seemed that he was about to kiss him. One bite.

"Don't look at me with such admiration." Shostakovich joked: "It's all arranged in advance by our great president."

"President Hamad!" All the technical staff looked at Hamad.

"This anti-ship missile will become a big killer of our navy." Mhammad said: "I hope everyone will carry forward the style of not being afraid of hardship and fatigue, and imitate this anti-ship missile as soon as possible. In addition to launching it from warships, In addition, it needs to be changed to air-launched, submarine-launched, and shore-based anti-ship missiles, which is related to our national defense security of Pakistan!”

"Yes." Everyone replied: "We will definitely live up to the president's expectations."

In addition to equipping warships, what Mhamad values ​​most is air-launching. Although in the Soviet Union, the air-launched missiles were Kh31 air-to-ship missiles from the Stellar Design Bureau, while the ship-borne missiles were the 3M80 ship-to-ship missiles from the Rainbow Design Bureau. However, the two missiles are almost identical.

Air-launching can greatly increase the range. If mounted on a Tomcat fighter, it can reach an effective range of at least two hundred kilometers. By then, your own air force will have another big killer! (To be continued ~^~)
