Chapter 525 Long-range air defense missile system

Panshan Machinery Factory.

Production workshop.

Liu Tao is developing a long-range air defense missile.

Ever since the "Aegis-0" short-range air defense missile, and the "Aegis-1" and "Aegis-2" medium-range air defense missiles, the troops have hoped to have a long-range air defense missile.

Later, Liu Tao developed an "Aegis-3" air defense missile system based on "Aegis-1" and "Aegis-2", named it a long-range air defense missile system.

But to be precise, it should belong to the medium- and long-range air defense missile system!

What he wants to do now is a long-range air defense missile system in the true sense.

The definition of this long-range air defense missile is to deal with campaign tactical ballistic missiles, medium-range ballistic missiles, hypersonic targets, airborne early warning aircraft, special aircraft, etc., to protect the safety of the airspace.

In today's world, the country with the strongest missile technology is not the United States, but the Soviet Union!

The Soviet Union's missile technology leads the world trend.

The missiles developed by the Soviet Union often make people's scalps numb.

The development of missile technology is often closely linked to the development of rocket technology. Whoever has good rocket technology will have good missile technology.

The rocket technology of the Soviet Union and the United States is very good. They are the world leaders in aviation and are the best in the world. Therefore, the missile technology of the Soviet Union and the United States is also the strongest in the world.

China's missile technology has developed its own characteristics under Liu Tao's golden finger.

There are killers and some that make people's eyes shine.

At this time, the long-range air defense missile that Liu Tao wants to make is naturally going to high standards.

The materials used are all the best, even the radar vehicle, command vehicle, etc. will be upgraded on the original basis.

Moreover, Liu Tao has never thought about exporting this long-range air defense missile, or it is impossible to export it in the short term.

Because this can be included in the real heavy weapon of a great power.

In the past, China was too poor, as poor as a ghost, so naturally it would export and earn foreign exchange if it could.

It is different now. Some weapons and equipment can be exported, and some weapons and equipment cannot be exported. Some weapons and equipment can be exported to this country, but not to that country.

There needs to be a lever here, which is why Panshan Group conducts research on all aspects of overseas!

Now Panshan Group's civilian field has a lot of exports overseas, and Europe, the United States and Japan are the main markets, especially the European and American markets.

So many things have to be taken slowly.

Just like this time, after the United States launched the "Prairie Fire" operation against Libya, Panshan Group has never exported any weapons to Libya again.

Even later, Libya took the initiative to come to the door to buy "Eagle Strike" anti-ship missiles and "Aegis" air defense missiles, but Liu Tao has not agreed until now.

Because this time point is too sensitive, the United States is still angry.

Now the United States is imposing all-round sanctions on Libya. Now exporting "Eagle Strike" anti-ship missiles and "Aegis" air defense missiles is not provoking the sensitive nerves of the United States.

If it were in the past, Liu Tao would not care, and make money first.

For this long-range air defense missile system, Liu Tao will not think about exporting it for at least ten years, but will provide it all for domestic use.

Although the troops can't make much money from purchasing, even under the current situation, Panshan Group has to let the troops pay in installments or even on credit.

But this is also to strengthen national defense construction, isn't it!

According to Liu Tao's idea, such a long-range air defense missile can deal with various combat aircraft, airborne early warning aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, electronic jammers, aerial refueling aircraft, bombers, campaign tactical ballistic missiles, medium-range ballistic missiles and other precision-guided weapons. It can not only undertake traditional air defense tasks, but also perform non-strategic missile defense tasks.

In terms of organizational structure, the regiment should be the basic tactical unit. The equipment system of a tactical unit consists of an automated command system and a firepower unit of up to 8 surface-to-air missile battalions. The battalion is the basic firepower unit. Each air defense missile battalion is equipped with a guidance radar, a low-altitude search radar, and 12 or 16 missile launchers.

The automated command system equipped by each regiment-level unit includes a search and indication radar vehicle and a command and control vehicle, which consists of a phased array radar, a regiment command post, a large fire control computer and a new phased array over-the-horizon radar with a detection range of 500 to 570 kilometers. It can command 8 air defense missile battalions at the same time, improve the system's multi-target engagement capability, and each system can guide 96 missiles to shoot 48 targets at the same time, thus forming a positional or mobile air defense firepower cluster centered on the regiment.

To achieve such a missile defense system, it is naturally not possible to rely on just one missile body.

So he developed different missile bodies corresponding to different ranges.

The minimum range is 200 kilometers, the maximum range is 400 kilometers, and the maximum speed must be greater than Mach 10.

Otherwise, the speed is too low and it is impossible to hit a target that is too fast, let alone intercept short-range ballistic missiles and medium-range ballistic missiles.

The maximum speed of medium-range ballistic missiles such as Dongfeng-3 exceeds Mach 2.

To be honest, the US's "Operation Prairie Fire" and "Operation Golden Canyon" shocked Liu Tao greatly.

He did not expect that the US military would have such bloodiness and tenacity, and could continue to fight despite such a huge loss.

In his mind, he naturally had to plan according to the most unfavorable situation.

The long-range air defense missile system can greatly strengthen the air defense force.

Especially the long-range air defense missile system combined with destroyers, then in the future, a real sea wall can be built on the sea.

Instead of launching an air strike on Libya like the United States this time, three aircraft carrier formations directly took off carrier-based aircraft 10 nautical miles away from the Libyan coastline to fight with great force.

Even if Liu Tao did not go to Libya in person, he could see the tragic situation in Libya just by watching the news reports.

Many buildings were directly bombed into ruins.

Looking at Libya now, it is absolutely unimaginable. Libya is one of the richest developed countries in the world, and its high social welfare makes Europe and the United States envious.

Liu Tao never wants this scene in Libya to appear in China.

So not only the troops are eager to have a long-range air defense missile system, but Liu Tao also hopes to develop a long-range air defense missile system to keep out weapons!

Anyone who wants to attack China must weigh what price to pay.

Liu Tao was immersed in the development of the ‘Aegis-4’ long-range air defense missile system. He did not need to start from scratch like the missile development team. He participated in the manufacture of ‘Aegis-0’, ‘Aegis-1’, and ‘Aegis-2’, earned upgrade points, and then upgraded through the upgrade points.

He did not need so many developers or scientific researchers, he could do it all by himself.

It only took a little time.

Liu Tao stayed in Panshan Machinery Factory for a while and finally developed the ‘Aegis-4’ long-range air defense missile system.
