Chapter 622 Sandfly Missile
The white-fly anti-ship missile weighing four tons and a warhead weighing 0.3 tons can easily send tens of thousands of tons of warships to the seabed, only one round!
In later generations, the United States did not develop such anti-ship missiles. The most powerful attack power of the United States is the aircraft carrier formation, which is the carrier-based aircraft on it. In the ocean, the Soviet Red Navy, which could not be used to compete with aircraft carrier formations, especially the influence of missile victory theory, the Soviet Union developed a series of supersonic anti-ship missiles.
Now, it is obviously not enough for Pakistan to have only the Eagle Strike 81 series anti-ship missiles, and it must have sharper arrows! Therefore, Mhamad originally planned to trade with the Soviet Union, exchanged Pakistan's large number of light industrial products for this anti-ship missile, and also had a good personal relationship with Gorbachev.
But who knew that the Soviets actually refused! Although they even promoted Su-27 fighter jets everywhere, they were unwilling to export this kind of missile!
So Mhamad had to use other methods to get instructions, Shostakovic, who quickly completed the task and got such a big thing from the Soviet Union.
"Mr. President!" Other technicians stood up and said hello to Mhamad. Mhamad looked at these people, all of whom were valuable missile experts in Pakistan, and some of them had studied in the Soviet Union and China. Now they are all concentrated here to prepare to imitate this anti-ship missile.
"Yeah." Mhamad said: "Is it difficult for us to map this anti-ship missile?"
"The surface of this missile is titanium alloy. We already have a mature titanium alloy processing system in China, so there is no problem with the shell manufacturing." said a technician.
When laymen watch the fun, experts look at the tricks. The metallic luster on the surface of the bullet is unique to titanium alloy. Since missiles can fly to Mach 3, the temperature of the warhead will reach hundreds of degrees, ordinary materials are not good. The Soviets used titanium alloy without hesitation.
"The key is the engine." Another technician said: "If you want to get a speed of Mach 3, you must use a ramjet engine. This Soviet missile uses a ramjet and rocket engine. We must overcome the technology of this engine."
"Avionics equipment is also the key point. If the speed is fast, the response speed of the control system must also keep up and cannot lag behind. We are confident in electronics."
The division of labor is clear, each has its own research aspects, and the focus is still on the engine! The ramjet engine is a type of jet engine, but unlike the jet engine of an aircraft, it requires complex compressors, combustion chambers, and turbines. The engine mechanism is quite simple to construct, without any rotating parts, and only contains an expanded intake duct and a convergent or convergent-expanding outlet. When the engine moves forward at a high speed, air is pressed into the intake duct. Then the air flows through the expansion duct, the speed decreases and the pressure increases, which plays the role of a compressor of an ordinary engine. Then the combustion chamber. Under the action of fuel combustion, the hot expanded gas accelerates and is discharged through the outlet duct, generating thrust.
This kind of engine mechanism is simple to build and has a large thrust-weight ratio. For example, a ramjet with a cross-section of only 1 square meter is 11 kilometers high. When flying at a Mach number of 3.5, it can generate thrust of about 30,000 kilograms. Its weight will not exceed 1 ton, and the thrust-weight ratio is as high as 30! Moreover, the faster the speed, the greater the thrust-weight ratio. The excellent performance makes it the first choice for high-speed aircraft. However, it has a congenital defect, which is that it must reach a certain speed, generally exceeding Mach 1, so that the air can be pressed into the combustion chamber. If it is still air, the fuel cannot fully burn and generate thrust.
Therefore, missiles that use ramjet engines are equipped with rocket engines at the rear of the ramjet. When the missile is launched, the rocket engine first ignites; when the missile reaches a certain speed and altitude, the rocket engine stops working, and then the ramjet starts working, and finally sends the missile to the designated target.
This anti-ship missile uses a unique liquid ram-combination engine containing a shedable booster. It cleverly combines the commonly seen liquid ram-combined with a solid rocket engine, and the technology is simple and reliable. The four semicircular intake channels are located in the middle of the missile, and the booster is placed in the engine combustion chamber. After launching, the booster accelerates the missile to the working speed of the ram-combination engine. After that, the burned booster falls off. At this time, the foldable flame stabilizer in the integrated liquid ram-combination engine is unfolded, the intake baffle is broken, the air intake begins, the igniter ignites, and the engine begins to work.
"It would be best if there were special technical data." said the technician in charge of surveying and mapping engines. Although it is possible to survey and map now, he does not know why he could not achieve the original technical level by designing like this.
“I’ve bought an engineer at the Rainbow Design Bureau,” Shostakovic said. “This engineer will help us deliver the information we did when we were developing.”
"Xiao, you are so good!" Hearing Shostakovic say this, the technician opened his eyes wide and looked at Shostakovic with joy in his eyes. It seemed that he was just about to come up and kiss him.
"Don't look at me with such admiration." Shostakovic quipped: "All of us are our great presidents, arranged in advance."
"President Mhamad!" All the technicians looked at Mhamad.
"This anti-ship missile will become a killer for our navy." Mhamad said: "I hope everyone will carry forward the style of not being afraid of hardship or fatigue, and imitate this anti-ship missile as soon as possible. In addition to launching warships, it will also be changed to air-launched and submarine-launched, as well as shore-based anti-ship missiles, which is related to our Pakistan's national defense security!"
"Yes." Everyone replied: "We will not let the president down."
In addition to equipping warships, what Mhamad values most is air-firing. Although in the Soviet Union, the air-firing was the KH31 air-firing missile of the Star Design Bureau and the ship-based 3m80 ship-firing missile of the Rainbow Design Bureau, the two missiles are almost the same.
