Chapter 219 The First Generation Surface-to-Air Missile Bomac Missile
What weapons and equipment are the best to hit the plane? The answer is of course anti-aircraft guns, self-propelled artillery, and surface-to-air missiles. The key is to depend on the aircraft's flight altitude and speed and other performance.
Of course, there are modern air-to-air missiles, more advanced surface-to-air missiles, as well as ship-to-air missiles.
Therefore, without using German aviation troops, Chen Yanlong planned to use large-scale anti-aircraft guns, self-propelled artillery, and surface-to-air missiles to counterattack the British and American troops' attacks on Berlin.
In fact, it is a good thing for him to use surface-to-air missiles so early now, because Chen Yanlong knew very clearly that after the end of World War II, as the aircraft's production technology became more and more advanced, their engine power also changed more and more advanced, allowing many aircraft to fly and attack in higher and higher skyscrapers.
Moreover, the load capacity of these aircraft is getting larger and stronger, so at that moment, the once very useful ground air defense artillery fire became increasingly unable to do so, and has no air defense effect or attack effect on these new advanced aircraft. For this reason, surface-to-air missiles were also born in the increasingly advanced rocket missile research system to fight against advanced high-altitude aircraft.
Moreover, these ground-to-defense missiles can also defend against air strikes from increasingly advanced high-altitude jet bombers, reconnaissance aircraft, and fighter aircraft.
Chen Yanlong originally wanted to use his exchange system to exchange for the second-generation single-soldier short-range air defense missile developed by the United States; the second-generation surface-to-air missile, also known as the "tail spear", is mainly used for low-altitude defense at the frontier of the battlefield or key areas.
And the best thing is that every US Army armored division, mechanized division, light infantry division, airborne division and air assault division were equipped with these portable "needle-punched" air defense missile platoons like the US military in the 1979s.
In particular, the airborne division and air attack division have to have more large numbers of these portable "needle-punched" air defense missiles.
The total number of portable "needle-punched" air defense missiles of a division must be at least more than 80 launch groups; it is best to have 100 or more launch groups.
Even the Navy has to use the "needle" launch team to replenish warships and support ships' close defense in high-threatening areas.
Unfortunately, if these portable "needle-punched" air defense missiles are equipped with the Navy, they can only be used to defend small aircraft at close range and very small surface boats.
However, even so, these portable "needle-punched" air defense missiles cannot be underestimated.
Because in the Afghan War, the Soviet Mi-24 armed helicopters defeated the Afghan guerrillas and fled in panic, with heavy casualties.
However, when the US military handed over these portable "needle-punched" air defense missiles to these Afghan guerrillas, it immediately launched an amazing and effective counterattack, and also won the first Afghan war.
Of course, if it is a "stinger" missile with a vehicle-mounted, infrared, and ultraviolet dual-color seeker, its destructive power is definitely much stronger than the shoulder-fired "stinger" missile.
Because the attack fire density, strength, and continuous combat capability of the vehicle-mounted "Sthorn" missile are much stronger than the shoulder-fire type.
And its amazing power can be seen clearly on the battlefield in Afghanistan in the mid-1980s.
Because at that time, the Afghan guerrillas used them to shoot down hundreds of Soviet fighter jets, which caused a sensation in the world.
However, Chen Yanlong could not exchange such powerful weapons and equipment at this moment, so he was also very upset.
Fortunately, he can use his exchange system to exchange the first generation of Pomack missiles from the US military.
It is the first generation of long-range surface-to-air missiles of the US Air Force, specially used for regional air defense and can intercept long-range medium and high-altitude aircraft, or aircraft missiles. It is the best local air defense weapon system before the mid-1960s.
An unmanned interceptor with a supersonic appearance is launched vertically by a fixed position and is commanded by Saiqi's air defense system.
The research data of this type of missile studied by the US military are derived from the German "Gentian", "Rhine Daughter", "Butterfly", and "Waterfall" and other models of air defense missiles.
Because after Germany was defeated in World War II, the beautiful army captured many researchers and designers of German air defense missiles, so they had the most advanced capabilities in researching and trial-producing air defense missiles.
The "Pomak" missile system does not have its own ground guidance station equipment, but uses the "Saiqi" air defense system to complete various combat functions, so the entire independent combat system is only a "Pomak" missile.
In addition, the missile is equipped with a small receiver to receive guidance instructions issued by the "Saiqi" system, and the final stage is to use the small tracking radar on the missile for guidance.
Each launching position has more than 20 bunkers. The bunker is a building made of steel plates and cement that is about 20 meters long, about 7 meters wide, and up to 4 meters high. It looks like a "coffin". Moreover, this system is generally arranged within 160 kilometers of its air defense system control center.
The missile usually lies in the bunker. Only when it receives the launch command will the commander be able to press the button in the Saiqi air defense system in the Saiqi air defense system to start a series of launch operations.
After some complicated operations, when the ram engine launches the missile to a height of more than 20,000 meters, the "Saiqi" air defense system command center operates the "Pomak" missile to approach and track the enemy, and finally, when approaching the target, the missile's near-blast fuse detonates a 10,000-ton TNT W-40 nuclear warhead installed in the warhead.
In the midst of a huge explosion, enemy targets will usually be blown to pieces.
However, such missiles also have some very bad shortcomings, such as their cost of use, difficulty in later maintenance and support, and their entire command system is huge, and the equipment attached to the missiles is very bulky, and their combat efficiency is not high, so they cannot deal with multi-target attacks.
Therefore, in order to deal with the Berlin bombing of the British and American Allied air force, Chen Yanlong not only deployed a large number of anti-aircraft guns and self-propelled guns, but also 500 "Pomak" missiles.
Although these missiles have many disadvantages, they are still useful for high-altitude aircraft, supersonic bombers, and cruise missiles.
And it is only 1943 now, so the performance of the aircraft is not as good as that of the 1960s after World War II.
So Chen Yanlong still used it with confidence.
However, since he had exchanged these "Pomak" missiles, he had no energy points to exchange for the "Neki Hercules" surface-to-air missiles, so he can only use this kind of surface-to-air missile to intercept the air strikes of the British and American Allied forces.
Although the "Neki Hercules" missile is also specially designed to deal with high-altitude high-speed bombers, high-altitude aircraft, as well as tactical missiles and cruise missiles, it can also be transported by special vehicles when transferring positions using field launch devices.
But without energy points, Chen Yanlong had no way to continue to exchange these missiles.
Moreover, to use so many ground-to-air defense missiles at one time, Chen Yanlong still needs a large number of missile experts to be responsible for the operation.
So for the deployment of the "Pomak" missile system, he secretly advanced three weeks, allowing Dr. Braun and Dr. Hermann Obert to use the Scud missiles to deal with the Soviet troops on the Eastern Front, and had already dispatched a large number of scientists to deploy the launch positions of these "Pomak" missiles.
Fortunately, these "Pomak" missiles exchanged by Chen Yanlong are all carried by improved cars.
That is why these scientists can quickly become familiar with the operation of these "Pomak" missiles and the use of "Saiqi" air defense systems.
"What weapons and equipment do you plan to use to attack the British and American Airlines team?"
Shocked, after shock, Garland was the first to ask.
"Of course it is our anti-aircraft guns, self-propelled artillery groups, and anti-aircraft machine guns! And it is an advanced model; but in addition to these weapons and equipment, I have also prepared a special gift for the British and American Allies this time, a mysterious air defense weapon and equipment! I will surprise them very much!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yanlong, who was meditating on the "Pomak" missiles he exchanged, immediately came back to his senses and grinned with a wicked smile.
