Chapter 385 The Russians are not kind!
Before they could go find Gao Zhendong, the Defense Work Committee had already arranged everything.
The cause of the incident was that they reported the test results truthfully to the Defense Work Committee, waiting for instructions on the next steps.
The Defense Work Committee took this report and looked at the K-13 data provided by the Russians, and fell into confusion and self-doubt.
The Russians' K-13 was quickly copied after obtaining the wreckage of the AIM-9B provided by us. It must be said that the AIM-9B missile is really well made, with a simple structure, but it works well.
So, it is easy and quick to copy.
By this time in the 60s, although the Russians' imitation had not yet been finalized, the general results had already come out, and they readily sent the existing relevant parameters over here.
The Defense Working Committee, which had obtained the Russians' information and the report from the Guidance Research Institute at the same time, fell into suspicion.
That's impossible. Is there something wrong with this data?
It’s only been a few years, have the Russians become so decadent?
After looking at them all, I found that everything else is pretty much the same for everyone, such as target overload, etc., and even the maximum range is almost the same.
To be honest, when the comrades from the Defense Committee saw this, they were already very surprised. The maximum range of the thing we made ourselves was actually almost the same as the one the Russians imitated?
Although this maximum range does not represent much and has little practical significance, it at least illustrates one problem: our propellant is not worse than theirs, because the appearance, aerodynamics and weight are almost the same, so the rest is mostly about the propellant.
But this was not the final result. What surprised them most was another parameter.
——Attack distance.
No one has it at the beginning, well, this is normal.
In pursuit, the K-13 air-to-air missile has a range of 3.5km, while our imitation missile has a range of 5.5km.
The Institute of Guidance and Research was still very restrained and set an ambush. After many experiments, they chose a distance with a high probability of locking the target.
Just this has made the comrades of the Defense Work Committee suspicious. They are not doubting their own people, because they would not do that. But they are wondering if the Russians are deceiving them.
If there is only a slight difference, that's fine, but an increase of 57% over the Russian level is really unbelievable.
In addition to the pursuit distance, the guidance angle of the seeker, the solar interference angle and other indicators are also much better than those of the Russians, which is equivalent to a level gap.
After much deliberation, the comrades of the Defense Work Committee came to a conclusion.
—— Damn it! The Russians are not kind!
Forget it, no matter what the situation is with the Russians, let’s focus on ourselves first.
Since this is the parameter given by the Russians, they may not give you better ones if you want them to.
Since our own thing looks good, we should develop it on our own. As for the Russian stuff, we can just take a look at it when the time comes, and forget about the rest.
But looking at the report materials from the Guidance Research Institute, he still looks unsatisfied and quite self-blaming. Why is that?
Never mind, let's call a meeting and finalize it. This thing looks like it can still be used.
Even if the Institute of Research and Development wants to criticize itself, it can just say it at the meeting. Anyway, there are so many talented people at that time, and maybe they can solve the problems they feel are lacking.
Considering the urgency of attacking the P-2V, the Defense Working Committee held this meeting on the third day after receiving the report. Gao Zhendong was listed on the list of participants.
The Defense Working Committee had a general idea that Gao Zhendong had made a great contribution to the development of this imitation missile, and he had solved many problems, or at least provided the technology or ideas, so his contribution was inevitable for the participants.
Gao Zhendong was still happy when he received the notice. For him, who already had a good idea of the progress of missile imitation, it was undoubtedly a small surprise for him to receive the notice of the air-to-air missile scheduling meeting at this time.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, a lot of people came into a meeting room of the Defense Work Committee.
There were many people there, including those from the Defense Working Committee, the Institute of Guidance and Research, the Flying Army, scientific research institutes or colleges.
To be honest, there are not many meetings on the finalization or pre-production of missiles. Except for the Zhengxian No. 5, there seems to be no such meetings. Even the radar-based close-range air-to-air missile Lei Dian-1, which is a copy of the Russian K-, has not yet appeared.
However, even if that thing is successfully copied, it doesn't really make much sense and is basically useless.
Having said that, given the current progress of infrared missiles, it is hard to say who the Thunder-1 is.
Gao Zhendong, who was sitting in the first row, still attracted a lot of people's attention. There was nothing they could do about it, he was too young, especially there was no one like him sitting in the first row. Those who didn't know him might have thought he was a secretary, responsible for shorthand.
Gao Zhendong himself didn't care, he sat very steady, he had sat in the first row many times, practice makes perfect. The chief designer of the infrared air-to-air missile model personally introduced the current situation of the infrared air-to-air missile, Gao Zhendong was very satisfied after listening to it.
I am satisfied with my own performance. Under my influence, this missile basically reached the level of the second-generation infrared air-to-air missile.
The biggest difference between the second-generation infrared air-to-air missile and the first-generation missile lies in the guidance head. Just a cooling method can improve the performance of the missile by one generation.
But he still interrupted and asked, "Is there a problem with the fuse exploding prematurely?"
This problem has actually plagued the original Raiden-2 for decades, and the infrared fuse exploded long ago.
Although he helped solve the problem of the infrared seeker, he did not know what the fuse was like.
The chief engineer was shocked when he saw that it was him who asked the question. This is something we are researching. How can you guess this? He would not doubt that it was Lin Lianwei who revealed it. Lin Lianwei is not a fool.
He smiled and said, "Advisor Gao, your question is really annoying. You guessed it right. There was originally a problem with the premature detonation of the fuse. The infrared sensitive components have poor performance and poor anti-interference. Once the fuse is released, the sun and visible light may cause it to explode prematurely."
After these words were spoken, people who didn't know Gao Zhendong realized that he was a great man.
Fortunately, the next news was better.
"Fortunately, we have applied the technology of the seeker to the fuse, which has greatly enhanced the anti-interference capability. Now this situation has disappeared."
The chief engineer didn't mention the specific technology here, but he still smiled and nodded to Gao Zhendong. Don't you know what technology we are using?
Gao Zhendong really didn't expect that he had solved the problem unintentionally by flapping his little wings. He nodded and said nothing more.
After the Guidance and Research Institute finished reporting the situation, the Defense Work Committee immediately made additional reports.
"Perhaps everyone has not made a direct comparison with what the comrades from the Institute of Missile Research just said. We would like to inform you of the situation we just received from the Russians, who have copied the infrared combat air-to-air missile based on the same missile wreckage, so that you can use it as a reference."
The Defense Committee projected the Russians' imitation results on the wall and introduced them to everyone.
After the introduction, the comrade from the Defense Work Committee said: "We have also organized personnel to analyze the performance of similar foreign missiles based on the missile wreckage and related information in our hands. We can confirm that the performance of similar foreign missiles is basically at the same level as that of our comrades in the north. Our missiles are far superior to theirs!"
After all, the Defense Work Committee was not emotional. They organized people to do a scientific analysis. After the analysis, they were shocked. Oh my god, they had wrongly blamed the Russians.
By this time, the Missile Research and Development Institute was certain that the missiles they made were indeed far superior to those of their foreign counterparts. Although they didn't know about the Americans, the Russians' imitations would not be much worse than those of the Americans.
All the participants showed surprise on their faces, but those who had participated in the pre-order meeting for the No. 1 product not long ago were better off. This was the second time they knew clearly that the performance of our imitation product far exceeded that of the original.
"I didn't expect that we could surpass our teacher so quickly." This is true. At this time, it is no problem to say that the Russians are our teachers in these aspects.
"We are confident that we will surpass them, but we didn't expect it to be so fast."
"Where did they get this technology? Did the Institute of Advanced Technology develop it on its own? It doesn't seem likely. I know their skills well."
"What you said is wrong. Why can't others do it? Why can't they learn, improve, and surpass themselves?"
Gao Zhendong felt very happy listening to these discussions.
Although Gao Zhendong cannot embellish this pen because he cannot disclose the specific improvements, let alone the source of the technology, it doesn’t matter. People who should know know about these situations.
The comrades of the flying army were more practical: "Can this bomb be used to attack the P-2V?"
Well, this is what they care about most. Ever since they knew that the Institute of Guidance and Research has this treasure, they hope to use it as soon as possible to increase their means of attacking the P-2V.
The leader of the Defense Work Committee directly pointed out: "This concept was proposed by Comrade Gao Zhendong. Come, Comrade Gao Zhendong, analyze it."
Gao Zhendong said to his comrades in the flying army in no uncertain terms: "No problem. Ground clutter has no effect on infrared missiles. Moreover, the darkness that the P-2V can survive in happens to be the environment where this missile can perform best. The maneuverability of the P-2V is nothing compared to this missile."
If during the day, the second-generation infrared missile may be unlocked due to sunlight interference, then at night, this possibility basically does not exist.
It is extremely difficult for the P-2V to escape the tracking of this missile by relying on its own maneuverability. As for the problems discovered, they are solved by the high-power radar on Figure-4.
In fact, in the original time and space, the P-2V was very struggling when it encountered the Tu-4, and was covered in dust. However, the Tu-4 at that time did not consider the power to burn through the interference, and did not have a suitable weapon, so it still escaped.
After hearing what Gao Zhendong said, the comrades in the Air Force felt relieved. You bastards, let’s see where you can escape this time!
