"The design work of this kind of rocket launcher with a range has basically been completed. However, when sample production was about to be carried out, we started the design and transformation of the 8028 missile, and at the same time, the design of the Changkong Sword... Relatively speaking, the power of the rocket launcher cannot be compared with the missile with precise strikes without large-scale intensive shooting. If we want to improve the design accuracy of the rocket launcher, we need to add a guidance system. In this way, what is the difference between rocket launcher and missile? The cost will not be cheap..."

Rockets with guidance systems are actually missiles.

Even because the design is different, even if the rocket launcher is equipped with a guidance system, it cannot be compared with the missile.

For missiles and rockets of the same range, rockets need to use more quantity to achieve their goals, while missiles only use mass to win.

"In addition, we also made a budget at the beginning. If we start the trial production of samples and continue to develop the research and development, the price of rocket launchers with a range of 2.2 million yuan per. Even if they are manufactured too much, the price will not drop too much in the future. It is obviously not high in cost-effectiveness..." In order to convince Long Yaohua and others, Liu Yijiu would have fought hard to develop rocket launchers with a range of 400 kilometers.

A launch vehicle costs only tens of millions of dollars, and the price is as high as nearly two million US dollars, which is much more expensive than the price of the Dongfeng-10. The military ordered five battalions of configurations, and each one was only 4 million!

"It is true. Compared with missiles, rocket launchers can kill targets intensified, such as enemy armored clusters, ports, stations, airports and other large-scale enemy personnel and materials. Compared with howitzers, the operation is lighter and more flexible, with concentrated firepower, and large multi-pronged scattering area of ​​rockets... Large dispersion area is an advantage and also a disadvantage. The impact of the huge dispersion area is the deterioration of shooting accuracy. It is only suitable for targets with a larger shooting range, such as tank clusters, enemy logistics supply points, battlefield fortifications, etc. In addition, rocket launches are full of fanfare, flames soar into the sky, dust is flying, and positions are easily exposed. After each launch, it must be transferred immediately, unless the air superiority and electronic rights are completely obtained on the battlefield." Du Zhongkun, who was once the researcher of rocket launchers, is now responsible for the development of the Ninth Academy missile, and has a very thorough understanding of the various advantages and disadvantages of missiles and rocket launchers.

If they didn't understand these, they would definitely not have given up on the development of rocket launchers with a longer range.

After all, at that time, China's electronics industry was not good, and high-performance computer chips were difficult to obtain. To have stronger weapons and equipment, it was very difficult to develop missiles, but rocket launchers were relatively less difficult.

What's more, domestic research on rocket launchers has a very strong foundation.

His words list the advantages and disadvantages of rocket launchers.

It’s not that the Ninth Hospital does not go to research, but that the Ninth Hospital feels that under the current circumstances, there is no great research value at all.

A Dongfeng-10 is only less than twice as expensive as a rocket with a range of 400 kilometers.

What's more, the hit accuracy of Dongfeng-10 can reach within a range of 30 meters, and the landing point of the rocket launcher cannot reach this accuracy.

"You have also said that this rocket launcher has a greater effect on attacking targets with a larger range, such as armored clusters, logistics bases, and even airports and battlefield fortifications. Although it is a bit expensive, we can also equip them in small quantities specifically for attacking these targets, allowing the Dongfeng-10 with higher accuracy to strike high-value targets and some hidden firepower points. Isn't this better combination of high and low?" Long Yaohua obviously does not want to give up the development of rocket launchers.

The Ninth Academy has such a technical foundation and has a design plan. It only needs to be tested, tested, and then demonstrated and improved.

Since the work has been completed, what else can’t be done!

Even if the research and development is successful and the troops are not equipped, the Republic's arsenal can be filled.

In the Republic's arsenal, except for nuclear weapons and long-range strategic missiles, all of the top weapons and equipment are basically from the Ninth Academy.

Although the number is already very large compared to the Ninth Academy unit, for the arsenal of a huge country like the Republic, there are still a fewer types of these equipment.

"If it really doesn't work, it can also be used to make technical reserves. When the war occurs, it can be vigorously produced when needed. The key is that the technology must be perfect and the effect can be reflected..." Li Yunlong also said with a helping voice, "Even if the cost is a bit high, if it is used to deal with large targets such as enemy airports, the cost of using missiles will be higher. Rocket launchers can reduce the cost by more than half."

"Missiles can be equipped with cluster bombs!" Liu Yijiu emphasized, "Cluster bombs can also give missiles a greater lethality of spreading area."

"Rockets are also equipped with cluster bombs, which are not better and have lower costs?"

Several old military men clearly do not want to give up the development of rocket launchers with higher ranges.

The people from the Ninth Court were indeed a little helpless.

Speaking of insufficient funds, this cannot deceive people at all. Under the current technical foundation of the Ninth Academy, the cost of developing such rocket launchers will not be too high. It can even be modified and designed directly on the Dongfeng-10 and 8208 missiles, plus the 336 rocket launcher, and it will be completed soon.

"Or what, we will give out all the technical information and the military will find other units to study it?" Liu Yijiu sighed in his heart. Why are these big guys in China so persistent about various artillery? "Under the current circumstances, as the combat radius of fighter jets continues to expand, the range of missiles has become higher, and the enemy's assembly ground cannot be too close. These rocket launchers have even no chance of performing at all."

Although the Republic pushed this rocket launcher to many air shows back then, letting the world know that the Defender-2, the most advanced and farthest rocket launcher in the world, was not equipped at all.

Perhaps this is the reason.

If it is done now, it is absolutely impossible for the military tycoons to give up the installation of rocket launchers.

Thinking about it, I feel a little incredible. This is basically still caused by the influence of the Soviet Union's continental army, especially the paranoia about artillery construction. Even the current Soviet Union does not have such powerful artillery.

"How is that possible! Unless the enemy fights with us, will it not engage in ground wars. Is this possible? Or they will only use a huge amount of air force and missiles to destroy most of our ground forces at the beginning of the war, and then just like the guiding ideology of our Blue Army construction, ground forces only need to occupy them without the threat of a large-scale army..." Qiu Yue shook his head.

This kind of thing is really hard to achieve.

Especially the enemy invaded China.

China's current strategic policy is defense strategy, and its huge territory makes it impossible for the enemy to quickly implement occupation. The vast and complex terrain is destined to prevent any country from easily defeating the squadron, leaving the squadron without any power to fight back.

"The construction of the Blue Army is not wrong, but the construction of the Blue Army is mainly focused on the direction of offensive force rather than defense. Aren't you developing a defense system? Use lower-cost rockets to replace missiles, and intensively launch missiles to intercept enemy missiles when enemy missiles come. Wouldn't it be more obvious?" Long Yaohua seemed to remember something.

Use rocket missiles to intensively fire to intercept enemy missiles?

Fortunately, these big guys can come up with it.

They also fought hard to keep such a powerful rocket launcher project.

In the whole world, even the Soviet Union, which wanted to develop rocket launchers the most, was not as crazy as the Republic in the research and development of rockets.

Yes, it's just crazy.

Moreover, in a few decades, Israel will develop an "Iron Dome" defense system specifically used to defend against rocket launchers.

However, it seems to be more feasible to use such rockets to intercept missile attacks?

The missile defense system studied by the Ninth Academy is divided into several levels. At the farthest point, it is precisely intercepted by missiles. When the missile interception fails, there are more short-range air defense missiles to be launched intensively. At the nearest point, it relies on rocket launchers to form a target area in the air, thereby conducting multiple levels of higher precision interception to prevent enemy missiles from falling over the target.

This is also to use the rocket launchers and anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns that were previously produced in China to integrate resources.

"If such a rocket is used to add to the interception system, the technical level will become very high!" Du Zhongkun and others immediately frowned.

"What's the difficulty? Just install cluster bombs or fragmented killing warheads in the warheads. When intercepting, let the warheads in front of the rocket explode, thereby inducing or shooting down incoming missiles. It is difficult to use military bases, but what if we use our missile battleships? Haven't you always emphasized that the offensive and defensive capabilities of missile battleships must be developed in a balanced manner and cannot defend by attack..." Long Yaohua once again gave Liu Yijiu a reason to shake his confidence.

Missile battleship!

After the transformation of this thing is completed, it will be even stronger than Kirov. Kirov has only been equipped with more than 400 missiles of various types, and after the transformation of Iowa, it will be equipped with at least a thousand missiles of various types. In order to defend, all types of anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, and anti-aircraft missiles are desperately loading towards them.

Unfortunately, there are no long-range air defense missiles in China, and the Hongqi-9 has not yet come out, and the Ninth Academy has no energy to study.
Chapter completed!
