It's no wonder that merlinz reacted like this. When he stood up with the French window just now, he had roughly outlined a way to put pressure on a big country, that is, to use his own rapid launch system to force the other party to make concessions.
After all, in the case of anti satellite combat capability, whoever has stronger complementary capability naturally has an advantage.
I thought that a big country still owes some heat in this regard, but I didn't expect that others already have the ability of air launched launch vehicles.
You should know that among all rapid launch systems, air launched launch vehicle is the most flexible and efficient way. Because of this, although liberty Meijian has not built it as the mainstream aerospace business, it has not interrupted this research for so many years.
Its purpose is as a backup means to realize the emergency deployment of satellites into space in some emergency situations.
Of course, only the United States and the Soviet Union during the cold war could play with this technical route method, because no matter how optimized the air launch vehicle is, it needs a large aviation platform to carry it.
The U.S. military has B-52 strategic bombers and C-5 strategic transport aircraft; The Boeing 747 series for civil use can be used as the carrying platform of air launched launch vehicles.
The TU-95 strategic bomber and an-125 strategic transport aircraft of the Soviet military can also be used as ideal carriers for air launched launch vehicles.
However, after the end of the cold war, Russia, with its rapidly shrinking national strength, could not afford such a high investment in R & D, so it gradually withdrew from the field of air launched launch vehicles.
As for the task of rapid launch and replenishment, it is left to those strategic missiles that are about to retire. After all, they are things that are about to be scrapped. It is better to use waste and launch a few more man-made satellites.
For example, some time ago, Russia used its own strategic nuclear submarine to launch a submarine launched ballistic missile from the Barents Sea and sent more than a dozen small satellites from Europe and Latin America into the predetermined orbit. It not only earned enough eyeballs, but also reaped a large amount of foreign exchange, which can be described as more than one stroke.
Because of this, since the mid-1990s, only the free beauty room has maintained the air launch launch vehicle, and the free beauty room often shows off this technology everywhere in order to prove its superb aerospace technology and strong scientific and technological accumulation!
As a result, what merlinz never expected was that the only one kept for many years was actually broken by Zhuang Jianye's China take-off. From the plate displayed by Zhuang Jianye to the senior reporter of French television 2, merlinz, an old bird, knew that it was not a concept map, but a processed real photo.
What does that mean?
It is obvious that China Tengfei has the technical ability to launch launch launch vehicles in the air.
Anti satellite, air launch vehicle, and two new domestic navigation satellites just launched
It is hard for merlinz to imagine how ambitious the domestic aerospace industry represented by China's take-off will be after getting rid of all external shackles!
The question is, in Zhuang Jianye's style, will there be only an air launch vehicle?
In this regard, it is difficult for merlinz, who knows Zhuang Jianye, not to frown.
In fact, merlinz's concern is not groundless. After all, the routine of dual-use dual-line development of Zhuang Jianye has been well known in the industry for so many years.
Now that the civilian version of the air launched launch vehicle has been launched, the military version should be settled in.
It is true.
In fact, ztm-nb-6c, the military twin of civil air launched launch vehicle, is code named dzb-50. As a spare model of anti-ship ballistic missile, as early as 2003, the improved hong-6 conducted air test firing in a certain place in the northwest, and successfully concentrated on the fixed target deep in the Taklimakan Desert.
However, at that time, the supporting reconnaissance, locking and command systems of space-based, sea-based and land-based were not perfect. The dzb-50, including the anti-ship ballistic missile that had been tested, was somewhat embarrassing as if there were a gun with bullets and no collimation.
Therefore, the development of dzb-50 project once encountered a bottleneck. However, with the development of technology, especially the aviation industry group officially recognized China's take-off status, its northwest aviation industry Co., Ltd. (Group) resumed its cooperation with China's take-off.
After the new generation of H-6 improved bomber using wd-68s turbofan engine went offline, dzb-50 regained the attention of the army.
Because the operational radius of the new generation of H-6 improved bombers exceeds 4000 km, with the support of yun-18nb aerial refueling aircraft, the operational radius can be further increased to more than 6000 km.
Combined with the dzb-50 air launched ballistic missile with a range of more than 2500 km, it is enough to deter the second island chain.
This is also why the army urgently needs to develop marine environment exploration satellites. There is no way. Compared with the land-based anti-ship ballistic missile with a range of only 2000 km, the dzb-50 air launched ballistic missile can not only strike further targets, but also have higher battlefield mobility, greater flexibility and more prominent strike effect.
The only defect is that the target reconnaissance capability is weak and needs to be supplemented by a large number of space-based platforms.
But once completed, the strategic effect of deterring the second island chain is also self-evident.
For this reason, since 2004, the air force has begun to train and install a new generation of H-6 improved strategic bombers, and cooperate with the naval aviation corps to carry out frequent high-sea navigation training. The purpose is to quickly generate combat effectiveness with dzb-50 air launched ballistic missiles after the completion of the space-based reconnaissance system.
It is precisely for this goal that China's take-off has invested a huge amount of money to develop chip level atomic clocks and build modern satellite automation production lines. Originally, it thought that the new generation of marine environment exploration satellite system could be completed and put into use before 2010. Unexpectedly, it was said by the head of the headquarters that it has become the mainstay of navigation satellites.
Of course, this is another story.
Back now, with dzb-50 air launched ballistic missiles, it is natural to develop civilian models that can be realized. On the one hand, the production line can be used efficiently and the production cost of products can be reduced; Second, it can also realize the maximum utilization value of technology and promote the development of related industries.
Among them, the most typical is the fcnb-200-400plus of ztm-nb-6c. Because it is a civil product, the improved model of the new generation H-6 is obviously inappropriate, and the use cost of tnb-18f cargo aircraft is too high and uneconomical.
In the end, China's take-off can only focus on the fcnb-200-400 aircraft with relatively balanced indicators.
Of course, according to the original aerodynamic layout of fcnb-200-400, if a ztm-nb-6c air launched carrier rocket is carried in the abdomen, there is a great potential safety hazard.
After all, the rear engine and T-shaped vertical tail can easily lead to the imbalance of the center of gravity. In addition, the local aerodynamic layout changes caused by a ztm-nb-6c air launched launch vehicle add to this risk.
Therefore, China Tengfei resolutely changed the rear engine layout to the under wing layout, and the T-shaped vertical tail to the conventional layout. At the same time, all the cargo warehouse structures under the belly were cancelled, and a semi buried rocket pylon was set up. Combined with the static instability technology derived from the fighter, China Tengfei finally launched the fcnb-200-400plus, which Zhuang Jianye called the most epoch-making model of China Tengfei!
