Such a deep question...

Tang Hua thought for a while and replied: "Precision-guided weapons like missiles and guided bombs will play an increasingly important role in future wars. But non-precision-guided weapons will still exist for a long time, because it is impossible All combat is solved by missiles, such as the Army, especially the Army's mountain warfare. ... So unguided weapons will not only exist for a long time, but will even develop."

Chapter 45, I suggest you drop this missile project

In front of the production line of Factory 112B, the chairman also looked at it for a long time, and asked about the performance and working principle of the two types of four-type missiles one by one.

The chairman inspected the 112A factory next door—now the MiG-15 overhaul workshop is still working, and the aircraft factory is under construction, but the factory building has been erected, and equipment and debugging equipment are being transported into it.

"How many Soviet experts are there in the aircraft factory?" the chairman asked the director of 112A.

"A total of 65, including 3 researchers from the Ministry of Aviation Industry of the Soviet Union, 15 engineers and 47 technicians."

"How much have you learned from Soviet experts?"

"Now the workers in the aircraft factory are taking training courses taught by Soviet experts, and the engineers are teaching them personally. Our factory leaders also listen to special lectures given by Soviet experts from time to time."

"Study must be diligent, humble, and sincere in asking for advice. On the other hand, while learning knowledge, you must also cultivate your own thinking ability," the chairman said, "Ask when you don't understand, and ask when you have doubts. By communicating, you can discover an oversight that you didn’t notice before. We also need to build up our own confidence. Look next door to you, there are many Soviets in the Shenyang Missile Factory, but they are not teachers. On the contrary, we are his teachers. "

The factory director nodded: "I understand, Chairman. In fact, in 51 and 52, when Director Shen's production and scientific research tasks were particularly tense, we all went to Director Shen to help him. The aviation industry and the missile industry are integrated. Since If the missile industry can catch up from behind and take the lead, so can our aviation industry.”

……

After inspecting Shen Dao and Shen Fei, then other factories in Shenyang and the surrounding villages in Shenyang.Finally, the chairman returned to Shenyang No. [-] Machine Tool Factory.

"Shenyang No. [-] Machine Tool Factory and No. [-] Machine Tool Factory will computerize their production in the future and produce as many CNC machine tools as possible," said the chairman.

Tang Hua nodded in agreement, "The two machine tool factories will continue to research and improve in the future. On the one hand, the mechanical structure of the machine tool itself will continue to improve, and on the other hand, the computer equipment will also be upgraded."

"In the future, Shen Yiji and Shen Erji will be the locomotives of industrial equipment in China, leading China's industry to move forward."

Tang Hua: "Chairman, within ten years, Shen Yiji and Shen Erji will definitely be the locomotives of industrial equipment in the country. Ten years later,... the locomotive will be Changchun."

Chairman: "Oh? Changchun? Well, I see. Are you trying to trick me again?"

……

112B Factory, Design Department.

"Comrades, Davarish,"

In front of Tang Hua were the Chinese and Russian designers of the design department.

"The Hongqi-4 and Eagle-2 missiles have entered the stage of sample bomb manufacturing, and the work of the two design teams can be temporarily relaxed. Although the task book for the next stage has been given to you, there is no need to start it immediately. It is better for us to proceed decisively. A short break."

"Minister Tang," said Vasilyev, the leader of the Soviet design team, "we have seen the design paper and performance indicators of the next generation of anti-aircraft missiles, which may not have been seen by the Ministry of Defense Industry. And I saw one of the missiles It’s semi-active radar homing, so I think there’s some information we need to share with you.”

Tang Hua: "That's a good thing. Sufficient information sharing can increase the efficiency of weapons development between China and the Soviet Union."

Vasilyev: "What I said next was not authorized by the Ministry of Defense Industry and the Council of Ministers. Please don't remember... In fact, the Soviet Union launched a semi-active radar-guided missile development project a few years ago. I participated in the early stage However, I left later, but I have always been aware of its progress. This development project has been stagnant since 1952. The road map of the Chinese comrades is correct. Radio command guidance is a project that is easier to complete the development work. It should be studied first, and then Then develop semi-active radar-guided missiles."

"This missile project of the Soviet Union also deals with air targets?" Tang Hua asked.

"Yes. But it's an air-to-air missile."

"Then I can probably guess it." Tang Hua said.

This is the Soviet K-5 (NATO codename AA-1) short-range air-to-air missile, or SHM project, designed by the Kaliningrad factory.

The SHM project probably started in 1950. In 1952, a test bomb was manufactured, and then an uncontrolled test was performed on a Yak-25 fighter jet.

Then...the SHM project has not made a breakthrough for a long time, mainly because of the problems of the guidance head and the control system.

The K-13 (AA-2) is the first generation of air-to-air missiles used by the Soviet Union. The K-5 has no sense of existence. Although China has obtained the drawings of the K-19 when it introduced the MiG-5 technology, the imitation model It is the Thunderbolt-1, but few people have seen this missile.

The distance is that K-5 is too difficult to use. It was barely in service in 1957, and its maneuverability was so poor that it could only hit bombers; its accuracy was not good.As a semi-active radar-guided air-to-air missile, the maximum range is only 6 kilometers. Probably the main meaning is to keep fighter jets away from bombers' self-defense machine guns and machine guns to launch interceptions.

"If air-to-air missiles are used in air combat, they need greater agility and better turning ability than surface-to-air missiles," Tang Hua said. "Otherwise, they can only be used as special weapons for intercepting bombers."

Nikolayev: "It is exactly a missile that can only be used against bombers."

Tang Hua: "Understood. But the third-generation medium-range surface-to-air/ship-to-air missile we plan to develop is not suitable for launching on an aircraft. It is too heavy. I think we should forget about the type that you did not mention. Soviet mysterious missiles, continue to work on surface-to-air missiles and ship-to-air missiles after vacation."

"If I make a suggestion to China to convert this air-to-air missile project into a joint research and development project between China and the Soviet Union, will we start doing it in Shenyang?"

……

Hmm, I can't go anymore.Wait for Moscow to airlift the drawings.

"Comrade Nikolayev," Tang Hua said, "have you seen the large construction site to the west of our research institute? That is China's first fighter jet manufacturing plant. That is to say, China will not be able to manufacture it until two years later. The first fighter came out, the model was the MiG-17. So, why did we help the Soviet Union develop an air-to-air missile that the MiG-17 couldn't use?"

Comrade Nikolayev spread his hands cheekily:

"I can guarantee that our chairman of the Council of Ministers will send more advanced fighter jet blueprints to China soon."

……

Sure enough, it was the K-5 missile.

The very thick spindle-shaped projectile does not look like an air-to-air missile but an air-to-ship missile.The length is not big, a little shorter than the "Rattlesnake".

It looks like "you can tell it's not maneuverable at first sight".

Four large triangular tail fins and four small triangular rudders near the head.What is uncomfortable is that the tail of the K-5 is not yet on the butt of the missile, and there is still a section of the missile behind the tail.

Tang Hua: "Comrade Nikolaev, I think the development direction of air-to-air missiles is this: semi-active radar air-to-air missiles are better at intercepting opponents at medium and long distances, and semi-active radars should not be used to attack short-range air targets. Guidance method, but another method should be used.”

Nikolaev: "For example, radio command guidance?"

"No. Radio command guidance still requires the airborne radar to continuously illuminate the target so that the fire control computer can obtain command parameters, which is too difficult."

Nikolayev: "If the SHM project is developed into a medium- and long-range air-to-air missile, the volume and weight will increase significantly, so that the fighter jets we plan to use this missile will not be able to mount."

Tang Hua: "Actually, we do plan to develop a small air-to-air missile that can be carried by ordinary fighter jets, and has strong air maneuverability, enough to hit fighter jets that turn at high speed. We call it a combat air-to-air missile. But, as I said three days ago, China's own fighter jets will not be put into production until two years later, so we have not put the development of combat air-to-air missiles on the agenda."

That's right, this is the "Sidewinder". The projectile body may be similar to the "Sidewinder" Type B, and the seeker performance is slightly better than that of the Type B.

"Then if this combat air-to-air missile is used to attack a bomber, can it also shoot down the bomber?"

"It can seriously damage the body structure of the bomber, causing it to crash or be injured. It is hard to say whether it can be shot down with one shot. However, the combat weight and power of the SHM project does not seem to be able to shoot down the bomber with one shot."

Nikolayev: "So..."

Tang Hua: "So I suggest that you give up the in-depth improvement of this project, and let everyone support the new combat air-to-air missile."
