The exchange of fire in the Sudanese capital is very intense, the Chinese and Sudanese armies are on the rise of advanced American missiles, the FN-6 volley of Russian MiG-29
Since the outbreak of the civil war in Sudan, it has caused a large number of people** and refugees. The two sides of the civil war are engaged in fierce fighting in several parts of Sudan, most critically in the capital Khartoum and in the southwestern region of Darfur. In this civil war, both sides were equipped with a large number of Chinese-made **, and achieved considerable results.
Chinese missile launch in Sudan Recently, the Sudanese rebel RSF Rapid Reaction Force announced that they used Chinese-made FN-6 individual anti-aircraft missiles to shoot down a Russian MiG-29SE fighter of the Sudanese Air Force. A video from social ** shows that the Sudanese Rapid Reaction Force launched a Chinese-made FN-6 (i.e., "Flying Crossbow-6"), a man-portable shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile that shot down a Russian MiG-29SE fighter of the Sudanese ** army.
FN-6 (Flying Crossbow-6) It is a domestic third-generation man-portable air defense missile, developed by the Shanghai Institute of Space Technology (China Precision Machinery Import and Export Corporation), which was successfully developed in 2000. The FN-6 is an omnidirectional portable anti-aircraft missile with advanced combat performance, which can destroy air targets with a maximum overload of 4G, the maximum speed of the target can exceed 360 meters and seconds, and the probability of killing is more than 70%.
The total weight of the FN - man-portable anti-aircraft missile is 16 kg, the length of the missile is 15 meters, the diameter of the bullet is 72 mm, the minimum range is 600 meters, the maximum range is 6 kilometers, the minimum firing height is 50 meters, the maximum firing height is 3800 meters. The FN-6 missiles were exported in large quantities and have been exported to Pakistan, Malaysia, Cambodia, Sudan, Peru and the Middle East. Our army also chose the "Flying Crossbow" six missiles for personal use, in the shape of the "Red Tassel" six-shouldered anti-aircraft missile.
At the 2008 Zhuhai Air Show, the Chinese - improved FN of 6 missiles - 16 were once publicly presented. The FN-man-portable anti-aircraft missile is similar to the newest American FIM-92 Stinger missile, using a dual-band (infrared and ultraviolet) performance more advanced anti-jamming active seeker.
The Chinese-made FN-6 man-portable air defense missiles and the French and American anti-aircraft missiles S "Mistral" SATCP portable air defense missiles have a certain origin, and their technical indicators and shapes are very similar, both of which use advanced anti-jamming all-digital 4-element infrared detectors, which can effectively filter out the infrared decoys in the instantaneous field of view, and have strong anti-jamming capabilities.
Both the FN-6 missile and the Mistral missile have an 8-piece pyramid-shaped seeker hood. But the Chinese FN-missile is lighter, only 16 kg. In addition, the maneuvering overload is greater, the missile S maneuvering overload reaches 18G, which can combat fighters with 4G maneuver.
The biggest difference between the Chinese FN-6 missile and the French Mistral missile is the detail of the head of the missile launcher - the head of the missile launcher has a huge rectangular box. This is the FN - this missile has a unique design and the missile uses a sleeve tail, that is, the four tails of the missile in peacetime are separated from the missile, and a fastening collar is placed in the front part of the missile launcher.
When the missile is launched, the front part of the missile body "drills" through the tail ring, but the engine compartment in the rear section is a bit thick, so the ring with four tails is like wearing a pullover "wearing" the tail of the missile.
This unique design of the FN-missile is primarily intended to increase the area of the tail and increase the maneuverability of the missile control, while at the same time significantly reducing the diameter of the missile launcher and reducing the total weight of the system. Let's FN - the missile can reach an overload of 18g, has a smaller diameter of 72 mm and a lower total weight. But the French Mistral missile, which has a diameter of up to 90 mm and an overload of only 15 grams, is relatively heavy, so a two-person launch group equipped with a tripod is required.
The configuration of the domestic FN-man-portable SAM is quite luxurious, it can be equipped with a stabilized mount as standard, it is equipped with two original batteries, two original missiles and a set of trainer bombs. The complete system also includes a night vision thermal imager, Type 09 small target designation radar, helmet display, small fire control command system and friend or foe identification system.
What exactly do two sets of six antennas on the fn-missile do?
This is what the FN-Friend or Foe antenna can be used to transmit and receive radio signals for friend or foe identification, and then judge the type of target through the missile shooter's headset.
However, not all foreign customers need IFF when China exports to some countries in the Middle East and North Africa, and they do not choose to install IFF. The specific reason will be known after a little thought.
Sudanese rebels used Forces nouvelles-MANPADS to blow up Russian MiG-29SE fighters of the ** Army, demonstrating the superior combat performance of the FN-missile.
In recent years, the FN-missile has made many achievements around the world. For the first time in the Syrian civil war, the -6 missile entered the battle. Qatar will purchase FN-6 missiles to be handed over to the Syrian civilian armed forces in February 2013, and the FN-This missile successfully shot down a Russian-made Mi-8*** in Aleppo, and then successively shot down 24 Mi-24 armed *** and MiG-21 fighters and Su-25 attack aircraft and other fixed-wing fighters.
In 2019, the powerful Myanmar Air Force – an FN was fired upon by northern separatist forces during a bombing mission by a 5C attack aircraft – 6 man-portable anti-aircraft missiles hit the tail fin, which lowered the tail, horizontal tail and tail spout to form a bumblebee nest. But the J-5C stubbornly returned to base and landed safely.
In 2018, Yemen's Houthi rebels used Forces nouvelle-missiles to shoot down the Saudi army's Chinese Rainbow-4B Chada integrated drone, staging a "one-on-one showdown" In November 2019, Libyan National Army air defense forces shot down an Italian-painted American-made MQ9A Reaper drone about 60 kilometers southeast of Tripoli.
The series of achievements of the FN-MANPADS shows the excellent performance of the Chinese-made MANPADS and is not inferior to the American-made missile Stinger anti-aircraft missile.
