The experiment began the next day.
Originally, there were many options for such experiments. The most professional one was to go to a special experimental base. However, in this way, it was necessary to expose those experimental bases to the eyes of these xiongguo people. Therefore, after repeated research, they were still done in the aircraft factory. Anyway, after the fighters flew out, they flew over the open area outside and launched missiles, After launching, the missile will fly to the shooting range, so the overall test is quite reasonable.
The next day, just after dawn, a large number of people gathered on the runway of the aircraft factory. They all gathered in front of the aircraft and looked at the fighter that was about to take off.
A large number of officers of the air force also came. General Lin stood at the front of the crowd. When he saw Qin Guan, general Lin smiled: "general Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time. On behalf of the air force, thank you."
On behalf of the air force, thank me? Qin Guan understood later. Yes, for the air force, this is another big killer.
After all, this kind of ballistic missile can carry nuclear warheads. It can be used as a tactical force or a strategic force. In the current equipment sequence of Han country, the ballistic missiles on land belong to the second artillery. The ballistic missiles of nuclear submarines belong to the Navy. What about the air force?
For a long time, the air force has never had its own nuclear bomb. How can it satisfy those generals of the air force? Although the strong five can be used to throw hydrogen bombs, it is only a test. If a front-line tactical aircraft is used to throw nuclear bombs, how tragic will the war be?
Therefore, even if there is a combination of qiang-5 and hydrogen bombs, it has little practical significance. After the ballistic missiles on the ground develop into intercontinental missiles, this combination is actually eliminated. The air force has only bombers such as bomber 6, and it can only have a real positioning after it can carry air launched cruise missiles.
Now, Qin Guan is simply going astray, but he is very satisfied with the air force. The air force will also have ballistic missiles.
Qin Guan had a smile on his face: "let's wish this experiment a complete success. In other words, isn't it more spectacular at the shooting range?"
General Lin shook his head: "of course not. The shooting range can only be seen on TV. Here, we can see the take-off and missiles. That's good. Well, I'll go up later."
Going up, too? Qin Guan looked at a J-11, and immediately realized that general Lin wanted to go to heaven to watch the launch.
This kind of experiment is quite cautious. Two planes go up together. One can launch, the other can be responsible for video recording, and you can also observe the launch process. In case of problems, you can take care of it. The accompanying aircraft must be the same model, preferably a two seat aircraft. If it is another aircraft, it is a two seat coach type, but it is not necessary for the J-11, It was originally a two seater.
It has to wait until the current j-11-b to adopt a large number of single seat models, which saves a lot of expenses for the army. The cost of training more radar officers is also very high.
Moreover, this two seater type is also very strong in ground attack, so it is still in demand.
Now, when Qin Guan watched general Lin get on the plane, his eyes were full of envy. He really wanted to try it, but don't dream. He must not be able. He is highly protected, just like a national treasure giant panda.
The two fighters completed their preparations for take-off and flew into the blue sky. In the back cabin, general Lin kept taking pictures with a camera in his hand.
As a general of the air force, although he is busy with various government affairs, general Lin has never relaxed his flight. He has certain flight training every year. Keeping pace with the times, he has been quite old-fashioned since he flew the J-11. However, today, he did not take photos in the front cabin and took photos in the back, which is more enjoyable than flying in front. At this time, under the belly of the J-11, The milky white missile looks particularly conspicuous.
Of course, in order to coordinate the launch experiment, the air force also took off an early warning aircraft to monitor the whole launch process. If it is comfortable, it should sit on the early warning aircraft, but general Lin prefers to be on the fighter plane.
"Attention, climb to 15000 meters." an order came from the headset, and general Lin didn't need to answer. The order was directed at the pilot.
The two J-11 fighters retracted their wings, continued to climb and speed up, and soon reached an altitude of 15000 meters. If it was a ground missile, it would cost a lot of fuel to launch this distance, but now it has been all done by the carrier aircraft.
This is the advantage of air launch. The short-range missile can hit the distance of the medium-range missile. The carrier gives a speed and altitude in advance. Even the single-stage space shuttle into orbit adopts this idea. The carrier takes the spacecraft to a certain height and speed, and then the space shuttle starts the engine and enters the space flight.
General Lin is holding a camera in his hand and feels very enjoyable. If it is film, it would have been used up long ago and he has to change the film. Now he is holding a digital camera of Hansen technology company. As long as the battery has power, he can shoot all the time.
Click, click!
"Attention, the launch experiment begins!"
With this order, the plane carrying the missile suddenly climbed up. Under the belly, the missile was so conspicuous. Seize this angle, general Lin continued to take photos. It's really spectacular!
At the tail of the J-11 fighter, the two engines turned on afterburner and burned blazing. Now it is in a large angle climbing state. Just after it started, the pylon loosened.
The missile was almost perpendicular to the earth and detached from the pylon. A blazing flame burst out from below.
This is the most wonderful place. The missile is disengaged and ignited in the air! General Lin has adjusted the camera to the continuous shooting state. The sound of clicking is heard all the time, and the clear pictures are recorded one by one.
When the missile ignites, the flaming flame occupies the whole field of vision in an instant. The carrier aircraft separates at a large angle according to the pre action, leaving the most dazzling missile in front of the lens.
Below is the tail flame, white smoke, and above is the air launched missile. From this moment on, the air force also has its own ballistic missile!
The pillar of smoke has rushed into the sky. General Lin put down the camera in his hand. He raised his head, looked at the sky and the rising pillar of smoke, just like the strength of the air force, climbing steadily!
As long as the missile can be successfully detached from the pylon and ignited, it means that the experiment has been successful, because the rest, like ordinary missile launches, has long been familiar in China.
