Chapter 33
The Dongfeng 21D missile and the Dongfeng 17 missile were finally developed successfully.
It takes a long time to develop the Dongfeng 17 missile because the Dongfeng 21 missile has already been in service…….Su Chu led the team to transform the Dongfeng 21 missile into the Dongfeng 17 missile.
As for the Dongfeng 17 missile, it was relatively difficult, but after Su Chu solved the solid fuel technology, supersonic missile technology and Qian Xuesen’s ballistic technology, it was not difficult to manufacture the Dongfang 17 missile.
Of course, this was also inseparable from the support of Qian Hai, Cao Rong and the Fifth Institute…….Especially the special military funding support from the old chief.
In short, Su Chu led the team to develop the Dongfeng 21D missile and the Dongfeng 17 missile at an incredible speed.
The next step is the test launch of the Dongfeng 21D missile and the Dongfeng 17 missile!
Because the range of the two missiles is relatively long, the target of the test launch is located in the Nanyang area.
Generally speaking, there are two main ways to test the range of long-range missiles…….Is it to hit long or high?
In fact, full firepower test is closer to actual combat shooting…….But how to solve the problem of insufficient land area… It’s simple, extend it to public waters, but this approach has certain risks.
At the same time, ballistic missiles are an important tool for any country. To prevent leakage and data return, a large fleet needs to be dispatched to provide full escort in the relevant waters.
This process consumes huge manpower and material resources.
Therefore, countries usually do not prefer this method for long-range ballistic missile tests.
Another method is to use high-altitude tests, that is, to increase the height and highest point of the trajectory as much as possible to offset the missile’s horizontal flight distance, thereby determining the range.
However, the Dongfeng 21D missile and the Dongfeng 17 missile are different missiles, so they need to be tested in the sea, especially some maneuverable ships. Only in this way can it be determined whether the Dongfeng 21D missile can hit a moving target.
According to the plan, the Dongfeng 17 missile prototype will land on the farthest island reef in the South China Sea…….Because the range of the Dongfeng 17 missile has reached a terrifying 2,500 kilometers, there is no way to test it on land, so it can only be tested in the sea.
As for the Dongfeng 21D missile, a movable target ship was set up in the South China Sea to simulate a moving aircraft carrier.
At the same time, for this missile test, the Rabbit official also issued control measures, announcing that no ships were allowed to enter the experimental sea area, otherwise all consequences would be at their own risk.
After some preparation, the test launch of the Dongfeng 21D missile and the Dongfeng 17 missile officially began.
Rabbit.
A test site somewhere.
The morning light was just breaking, and the solemnity contained the majestic power that was about to erupt.
Today is an important test launch day for two national heavy weapons-the Dongfeng 21D anti-ship ballistic missile and the Dongfeng 17 hypersonic glide missile.
These two missiles are not only the pinnacle of Rabbit’s military technology, but also an important weight in the global strategic pattern.
Su Chu, Qian Hai, Cao Rong, Bai Qingqiu, Zhao Changpeng and others were all on the scene to witness the test launch process of the two missiles.
Before the test launch, Su Chu ordered engineers and technicians to conduct a final check of the missile’s guidance system to ensure that it can accurately track and lock onto the target in a complex marine environment. The
Dongfeng 21D uses advanced inertial navigation composite guidance technology, supplemented by terminal active radar guidance to ensure strike accuracy.
After everything was ready, Su Chu said in a loud voice:”Prepare to start the test launch!”
With an order from the command center, the Dongfeng 21D anti-ship ballistic missile test launch was ready to enter the countdown.
This missile, known as the”aircraft carrier killer”, uses a unique Qian Xuesen ballistic design, which is capable of high-speed maneuvers at the end of flight and accurate strikes on moving targets at sea, especially large surface ships, such as aircraft carrier battle groups.
“”Launch!”
With Su Chu’s order, the Dongfeng 21D soared into the sky like a giant dragon, with dazzling flames spurting out from its tail, cutting through the sky. The missile climbed along the preset trajectory.
Buzz buzz buzz…
Whoosh whoosh……
Then it entered the mid-stage flight, at which point its built-in high-precision navigation system began to work, constantly correcting its flight path.
The most critical part was the final stage, when the missile began to maneuver at high speed, as if it had intelligence, flexibly adjusting its posture and heading straight for the ship simulating the aircraft carrier target…….
However, what neither Su Chu nor Rabbit expected was that half an hour before the Dongfeng 21D missile test, a monkey fishing boat broke into the missile test area…….
