Chapter 1389 Anti-tank missiles
At the beginning, Cialek expressed all two ideas, and the subsequent development was carried out in two parts. The rocket-propelled grenade was soon released. At the same time, another anti-tank missile also began to develop in full swing.
This mission naturally fell on Ruhr Steel, because they were studying the -4 air-to-air missile, and this first generation of anti-tank missile was almost improved on the basis of the -4 air-to-air missile.
However, compared to the Bazooka, since the -4 air-to-air missile was also under development, this anti-tank missile has experienced more twists and turns. Now, the person in charge, Dr. Marx Kalemer, is standing in front of his anti-tank missile. Compared with Dr. Langweiler, Dr. Kalemer is more taciturn.
This is a person who doesn't like to talk. Many technicians actually have this problem. They are immersed in the world of technology, but ignore the daily communication between people. After accumulating over time, they gradually lose this ability.
Dr. Kalemer was also excited when he saw the head of Sirick, but he would not run over and get close to compliment. He just stood calmly in his position, watching Yuan inspect the bazooka first, watching the head of state open fire in person, watching the rocket hit the target, and he himself was always calm.
The biggest disadvantage of the rocket launcher is that the distance is too close. A distance of 100 meters is much safer than throwing grenades, but infantry still has to take great dangers. Only when the enemy can be killed one thousand meters away is absolutely safe.
If you use an anti-tank gun, you need to consider the accuracy issue and the opponent will run. Now, his missile solves these problems perfectly because it can change position during flight until it finally hits the target.
However, his missile looks a bit ugly.
The missile body is short and thick, and is streamlined; like a rocket launcher, it relies on a hollow loading warhead to destroy tanks, which is different from the explosive debris warhead of air-to-air missiles. However, because it is larger, it contains 2.5 kilograms of explosives, which makes the armor-piercing ability even higher, with a maximum thickness of armor-piercing up to 200 mm.
At the same time, because it is a missile, it is equipped with a gyroscope to stabilize the flight of the missile. At the same time, the missile can generate a speed of two revolutions per second during flight, making the flight more stable.
Another difference between air-to-air missiles is its dual thrust engine.
Air-to-air missiles are launched on aircraft and have initial velocity before launching, but the anti-tank missiles launched on the ground are initially stationary, so they are equipped with two engines, one with high thrust belongs to the takeoff engine with a thrust of 8 kg and a working time of 2.5 seconds, which is used to push the missile to take off.
When the takeoff engine is burned, the range engine is ignited. Its thrust is only 5.5 kilograms, but its working time is as long as 8 seconds, and it finally pushes the missile to a speed of 120 meters per second.
In this way, this anti-tank missile is quite complex. It also needs to have bullet wings and flaps. The wing tip is equipped with a wire tube, a fairing outside the wire tube, and an enameled wire is wrapped around the wire tube to transmit instructions. There is also a long and curved tail rod at the tail of the missile, and a servo is installed at the end.
Anyway, it looks ugly.
The head of state likes beautiful things, you can tell by looking at the design of his military uniform. However, in order to achieve normal and stable work, missiles must do this.
Dr. Kalemmer looked at his missiles as if he had seen his own child. At the same time, when he found that the head of state and others were walking over, he found that his legs were trembling because of excitement, and even his words were not smooth.
"Yuan, Master, this is me, our missile." He said inconsistently, making people think he was guilty.
Sure enough, when he heard his trembling words, Dr. Langwell, who came with him, couldn't help but laugh and said, "Doctor, can you fly? It looks like a farm tool."
Hearing Dr. Langweller say this, Dr. Kalemer finds that he suddenly stops stuttering: "Of course, we can fly further, our armor is thicker, and we are playing mobile targets."
When it comes to technology, Dr. Kalemmer is excited. What is the biggest advantage of missiles? Of course, it can change direction during flight, which is definitely epoch-making. If we look at the specific performance, it is that missiles can strike mobile targets, and no matter how the other party moves, they can hit it!
The two of them are actually old acquaintances. For example, in the design of the hollow-loaded warhead, they also studied together and jointly developed the warhead. In fact, they have long been good friends. Dr. Langweiler is such a person who likes to ridicule others. His sarcasm does not contain malice, but is just a habit.
Kalemo should thank him, but after such a sarcasm, he stopped stuttering and returned to normal
Faced with the conversation between the two, Cialek did not interfere too much, and his eyes were on the missile.
Cialek did not propose too many models for missiles, but just deployed the mission. Now it seems that this missile is quite close to the -4 missile in history, almost the same. You should know that this missile in history is the originator of all anti-tank missiles!
He admired Germany very much in his previous life because Germany was like cheating in World War II, and he created quite a lot of things, many of the technologies came from World War II, and they came from Germany.
For missiles, the most complex thing is the guidance system.
Those airdrop bombs use radio command guidance, which is the most direct way, which is similar to the model aircraft, but this kind of guidance is not the best, because as the main driver of space electromagnetic interference increases, radio command guidance will eventually become useless.
The missile in front of us uses a wire guide, which is wrapped in the wire tube. As the missile flies forward, it continuously releases the wires. As long as the length is sufficient, it can be controlled remotely.
And the signal is transmitted by two wires.
This is very similar to later generations, except that the advanced wire guides in later generations are no longer ordinary enameled wires. They have been replaced with optical fibers and become optical fiber guides. In fact, the principles are the same.
After the battle is over, there will be left on the battlefield with entangled command wires, which is also a major feature.
When an outsider watches the fun, an insider sees the trick. Kalemer looks at Cialik and looks at the part of the line tube, he knows that Cialik is studying the guidance of missiles.
