It was once said that the lightest portable anti-aircraft missiles can be ordinary air-to-air missiles, Seahorse missiles, or more expensive medium-range and medium-range ballistic missiles, or even the most expensive intercontinental missiles. In fact, all of this is made up of a stationary rocket engine and a missile. Now, some of the heavy missiles in use, naturally, also have some liquid engines, or a mixture of liquid and solid engines; However, there is no doubt that the vast majority of the workhorses** are solid-state propulsion, which is convenient for storage and launch. And the thrust and distance of each solid rocket are closely related to its relative diameter. So for the sake of specification and engineering application, each missile has an approximate fixed diameter. As a simple example, the fixed thrust radius of a shoulder-fired missile is generally within 100 mm.
And air-to-air missiles, the caliber of fixed thrust is generally within 200 mm, and only some ultra-long-range ** can achieve 300-350 mm. The mid-to-high-end models of missiles have a fixed thrust caliber ranging from 200 mm to 500 mm. The fixed thrust caliber of medium- and short-range ballistic missiles is generally 1000 mm to 1200 mm. Medium-range ballistic missiles are usually 1400-1600 mm; The caliber of the ICBMs used is generally between 1800 mm and 2200 mm. The problem is that now the caliber of various types of fixed push foundation is almost decided, which model of fixed push machine has a higher output? Which model of fixed-thrust rocket yields less? In fact, there is an "unspoken rule" that will not change, that is, large-caliber solid propulsion units, which, in theory, are used for tactical missiles are less than medium and medium-sized solid propulsion units. You know, even during the Cold War, nuclear ** was the same.
The United States and the Soviet Union have never put more than 2,000 nuclear warheads into war, including submarines, so the two major powers have produced more than 2,000 nuclear warheads at most. Even now, this kind of ** is still in use, because whether it is land-based or modern, it is still in use. By 2000, the production of AIM120 medium-range air-to-air missiles had reached more than 20,000 units. Then it is clear that the 200 mm fixed push gun also produced more than 20,000 rounds at the same time. It is clear that such a small stationary thruster, which is the output of a stationary thruster of 1800-2200 mm, is a lot higher! Therefore, compared with the large-diameter fixed pusher, can more products be manufactured? Not necessarily! Just like the most famous ** during the Cold War, Pan Xing 2, was made with this kind of **.
With a diameter of one meter, which is equivalent to a 1000 mm two-stage solid thruster, the maximum bomb load of the Pershing-2 type, that is, 500 rounds. That is, solid propulsion units of 1000 mm caliber, less than 500 rounds. After 1988, all Pershing II types were destroyed. Not only these products will be destroyed, but also those of the 1000 mm class. In this way, until now, the superpower has not been able to produce 1000 mm solid propelled products; This means that even if it claims to be a neutral country, there is no progress! Obviously, a part of this size would be difficult to reassemble if it had been abandoned on the production line. Some powerful countries have also learned from this historical experience and paid more attention to the mass manufacturing of high-end fixed push parts. The so-called serialization means that it cannot be just one missile, nor can it be just a special missile for a certain type of armed force.
Like the previous mass-produced one, it is probably a 300 mm caliber fixed thrust, and the final product is nothing more than a long-range bazooka. However, the 300 mm caliber solid propulsion unit is obviously not capable of exerting its due lethality, and its own strength alone can penetrate up to two meters of cement. Moreover, it is difficult to carry more than 200 kg of warheads; The maximum distance is 200 km. It's okay to use for ground attacks, but it's a bit more difficult to fight at sea and in the air, especially when facing reinforced targets that are five meters thick. Ground-penetrating missiles, on the other hand, can inflict devastating blows on high-density targets with heights of more than 5 meters, but they are not numerous due to the need to install gyroscopes. The 850 mm vertical propulsion system will be a completely new standard propulsion system, which can be a set of four super-caliber "rocket launchers", or an ASBM** standard, and can also conduct high-speed air combat. The warhead charge can also be arbitrarily selected from 500 kg to 2 t;
Its firing range ranges from 500 km to 2500 km. Artillery of this caliber can destroy 90% of land-based reinforced bunkers, while killing all enemy ships with a single shot! Therefore, it is not difficult to set a new 850 mm setting machine with 10,000 rounds a year. Because there is not enough ammunition, there is no salvation at all!
