The length of the Red Flag 9 is limited. After switching to the most advanced engine, it can only reach a range of 90 kilometers. In order to further increase its range, technicians added a third stage rocket engine behind the missile. Its range has soared to 200 kilometers!

For now, this is definitely a cross-age invention. As far as Qin Guan’s memory is concerned, it seems that no country’s missile can reach this far. Even the Eagle’s own standard missile is now 200 kilometers away. Wandering within.

For now, ballistic missiles are still not defensible. When this type of missile falls, it relies on high speed. Ordinary air defense system radars cannot keep up with its operation and cannot be intercepted. At the same time, the missile cannot fly that high, so it cannot be launched and intercepted.

It is precisely because of the lack of interception capabilities that Scuds have flew all over the sky in these years of war.

However, technology is constantly evolving. Now Han has begun to study this weapon system, and the Red Flag Nine of Han has this ability!

After the third level is removed, it is still the ordinary Red Flag Nine. After adding it, it can have a longer range. This weapon system can be regarded as an innovation of scientific researchers.

Due to its larger size, the number of transports on this missile launch vehicle has also been reduced, only four, and next to this missile launch vehicle is the radar vehicle.

"In order to guide it, we adopted the newly developed phased array radar." Zhong Lao continued to introduce on the side: "These are all synchronized with the Navy's technology. The new generation of radar has smaller components and consumes power. Smaller, after stacking up, the detection range is farther. Of course, we also have optimizations in the program."

Intercepting aircraft and ballistic missiles require different procedures. The missile needs to calculate the landing point according to the trajectory in advance, and then make an accurate encounter with meticulous preparation. This is enough, while intercepting aircraft requires continuous tracking of the aircraft. When turning, how to adjust the missile to prevent the seeker from unlocking.

"Yes, even if it can only intercept short-range missiles now, it is of practical significance. At least, there is no problem with intercepting Scuds, right?" Qin Guan said.

Hearing Qin Guan's words, Mr. Zhong nodded immediately: "Scud only has a range of 300 kilometers, of course, there is no problem. We can intercept missiles within a range of 1,000 kilometers!"

The farther the missile’s range is, the faster the falling speed. Short-range missiles can only come down at a speed of a few Mach. For medium-range missiles, there are more than ten Mach. Intercontinental missiles have more than 20 Mach. The smaller, the greater the difficulty.

At the same time, the range and height of air defense missiles are two mutually restrictive factors. The maximum range is 200 kilometers and the maximum height is 40 kilometers. However, these two data cannot be achieved at the same time.

Therefore, the actual interception orbit calculation must be carefully designed. After optimization, it has the ability to intercept missiles with a range of kilometers before. This is of course intercepted during the landing phase. Only satellites in space can intercept during the launch phase. Do it, this is the Star Wars plan.

The Star Wars plan, which was raging back then, has now gradually come to an end, and many things have been forgotten.

"So, have we experimented yet?" Qin Guan asked.

Qin Guan originally came to see the Red Flag Nine. The range of this missile is doubled, and the initial capability of regional interception is already very satisfying, but the performance of this modified missile is even more satisfying.

Hearing Qin Guan's question, Zhong Lao shook his head: "No."

Now, the domestic computer technology is developing rapidly. They have simulated it many times on the computer, but they have not simulated it in reality. If you want to simulate it, you have to launch a missile to hit it. In peacetime, a missile Missiles are also very valuable, and this requires approval from higher authorities. On the other hand, it has political significance.

What does this mean if it develops anti-missile capabilities?

Break the strategic balance and lead to a new arms race.

Ballistic missiles cannot be defended. It is under this condition that they have the significance of strategic nuclear deterrence. If you have me, you have me, and you shoot me, you will die together. This achieves this strategic balance. .

However, if I have one but you don’t, then I can guard it and use ballistic missiles unscrupulously. Pursuing my own safety unilaterally, based on the distrust of others, is very dangerous and may lead to The new arms race, even war!

Practically speaking, we can only intercept missiles of 1,000 kilometers. This capability is still very weak. However, this is a dangerous first step. In theory, we can intercept short-range missiles. Sooner or later, we will Developed the technology to intercept ballistic missiles.

"Star Wars is not over yet." Qin Guan said: "We are now testing low-key, no one will say anything, I will apply for you."

If it is in the future generations, it will definitely arouse public outrage. You are safe, but I am not safe anymore. But, what about it, what should be developed or will develop, what should be deployed, or will be deployed, will the protest be effective?

Only by sparing no effort to develop your own abilities is the real and effective way to protect yourself. Apart from this, everything else is illusory. Moreover, the Cold War is not over yet. Your Star Wars are so mysterious. , I'll just play a close range here, what's the problem?

Besides, Qin Guan knows this deeply. If he does not possess this ability, then they will deliberately exaggerate. When they have it, they will deliberately dilute it, otherwise, they will appear to be too incompetent.

So now is definitely a good opportunity.

"It's just that we only have a range of two hundred kilometers, which is not enough. We must have a long-term plan. The ultimate goal is to be able to intercept medium-range and intercontinental ballistic missiles."

No one thinks that they are too safe. It is human instinct and an inevitable choice for each country to open up a protective umbrella for oneself. Looking at the future generations, the anti-missile systems in various theaters are no longer a big deal. Bear State K -300V, Eagle State Patriot, David State Arrow System. All countries are working hard. Those without R&D capabilities also hope to purchase standard-3 from Eagle State.

The Eagle Country even used its own technological level, despite the opposition of various countries, developed and deployed TMD and NMD systems, which were reluctantly called your **** and **** systems.

Of course, one's own side will continue unswervingly.
