At the beginning, Cyric stated all the two ideas, and the subsequent development was divided into two parts. The rocket-propelled grenades were soon released. At the same time, another anti-tank missile was also intensively developed. Development.
And this task naturally fell on the Ruhr Steel Company, because they are studying the X-4 air-to-air missile, and this first-generation anti-tank missile is almost improved on the basis of the X-4 air-to-air missile. .
However, compared to the rocket launcher, since the X-4 air-to-air missile is also under development, this anti-tank missile has experienced more twists and turns. Now, the person in charge, Dr. Max-Kalemer, is standing on his own In front of the anti-tank missile, Dr. Kalemer was more taciturn than Dr. Langeweiler.
This is a person who doesn’t like to talk. Many technicians actually have this problem. They are immersed in the world of technology, but they ignore the daily communication between people. When they accumulate, they gradually lose this. Ability.
Seeing the Führer Cyric, Dr. Kalemer was also excited, but he would not run over to compliment him. He just stood calmly in his position, watching Yuan first inspect the bazooka, watch the Führer personally fire, watch The rocket hit the target, and he himself was always calm.
The biggest disadvantage of the rocket launcher is that the distance is still too close. The distance of 100 meters is much safer than throwing a grenade, but the infantry still has to take great risks. Only one kilometer away can kill the enemy, that is absolutely safe. .
If you use an anti-tank gun, you have to consider the problem of accuracy, and the opponent will run. Now, his missile perfectly solves these problems, because it can change position in flight until it finally hits the target.
However, his missile looks a bit ugly.
The missile body is short, thick, and streamlined. Like a rocket launcher, it relies on a hollow charge warhead to achieve a plan to destroy the tank. This is different from the explosive debris warhead of an air-to-air missile, but because of its larger size, it contains 2.5 explosives. Kilogram, this kind of armor penetration ability is even higher, the maximum thickness of armor penetration can reach 200 mm.
At the same time, because it is a missile, it is equipped with a gyroscope to stabilize the flight of the missile. At the same time, the missile can generate two revolutions per second during the flight, making the flight more stable.
Another difference from air-to-air missiles is its dual thrust engines.
Air-to-air missiles are launched on airplanes. They have an initial velocity before launching. However, anti-tank missiles launched on the ground are initially stationary, so it is equipped with two engines, one with a large thrust is the take-off engine. The thrust is 68 kg and the working time is 2.5 seconds, which is used to propel the missile to take off.
When the take-off engine burns, the endurance engine ignites. Its thrust is only 5.5 kg, but the working time is up to 8 seconds, and finally the missile is pushed to a speed of 120 meters per second.
In this way, this kind of anti-tank missile is quite complicated, and it also has wings and flaps. The wing tip is equipped with a wire tube, there is a fairing outside the wire tube, and an enameled wire is wound on the wire tube to transmit instructions. There is also a long and curved tail rod at the tail of the missile with a steering gear at the end.
In short, it looks ugly.
The head of state likes beautiful things. You can see from the design of his military uniform. However, in order for the missile to achieve normal and stable operation, it must be like this.
Dr. Kalemer looked at his missile as if he had seen his own child. At the same time, when he saw the Führer and others walking by, he found that his legs were a little trembling because of his excitement, even speaking unfavorably. Requested.
"Yuan, Führer, this is me, our missile." He said incoherently, making people think it was a guilty conscience.
Sure enough, upon hearing his trembling words, Dr. Langeweiler who came with him couldn't help but sneered: "Doctor, can you fly this thing? It looks like a farm tool."
Hearing what Dr. Langeweiler said, Dr. Kalemer found that he suddenly stopped stuttering: "Of course we can, and ours can fly farther, have thicker armor, and we are hitting moving targets."
When it comes to technology, Dr. Kalemer is coming up. What is the biggest advantage of the missile? Of course, it can change direction during flight. This is definitely epoch-making. If you look at the specific performance, it is that the missile can strike a moving target, no matter how the opponent moves, it can hit!
The two are actually old acquaintances. For example, in the design of the hollow charge warhead, the two of them are still studying and developing the warhead together. In fact, they have long been good friends, and Dr. Langeweiler is such a person. To ridicule others, his sarcasm contains no malice, it is just habit.
Kalemo should be thankful to him, so ridiculed, the result was not stuttering and returned to normal.
Faced with the conversation between the two, Cyric didn't interfere too much, his gaze was on this missile.
For the missile, Cyric did not propose too many models, just deployed the mission, and now it seems that this missile is quite close to the historical X-4 missile, almost the same, you know, history This missile on board is the originator of all anti-tank missiles!
In his previous life, he admired Germany very much, because Germany was like a hangover in World War II, and a lot of things were produced. Many of the technologies came from World War II and originated from Germany.
For missiles, the most complicated is the guidance system.
Those air-dropped bombs are guided by radio commands This is the most direct method, similar to model airplanes, but this kind of guidance is not the best, because with the increase in space electromagnetic interference, the main driver , Radio command guidance will eventually become a tasteless.
The missile in front of us uses a wire guide. The wire is wrapped in the wire tube. As the missile flies forward, the wire is continuously released. As long as the length is sufficient, it can be remotely controlled.
The signal is transmitted by two wires.
This is very similar to later generations, except that the advanced wire guides of later generations are no longer ordinary enameled wires. They are replaced with optical fibers and become optical fiber guides. In fact, the principles are the same.
When the battle is over, the entangled command wires will be left on the battlefield, which is also a major feature.
The layman watched the excitement and the expert watched the doorway. Kalemer looked at the part where Cyric looked at the line tube, and knew that the head of Cyric was studying the guidance of the missile.
"The inside is 0.18mm enameled wire, which is strong enough. We have passed ten test shots and there is no break of the command wire." Kalemer said: "It's just that we need a rigorously trained shooter to make a hit. aims."
