158 Avant-garde debut, failed to shoot (ask for a monthly pass)
"Arrange two more? Just inside the base, and shoot again when the target plane comes back?" Song Deming looked at Wang Guilin with an incredulous expression, he really didn't know what the other party thought.
Wang Guilin nodded and whispered, "Yes, we are worried about the failure of the target shooting at the shooting range." Don't let Zhao Xi and the Pakistanis know, this is also to make up for the failure. ”
"I arranged. Song Deming didn't bother to question this decision.
If the shooting fails at the shooting range, there is no room for salvation here. Although there are some differences in the design of these missiles, they are largely the same.
Shooting in front of the Pakistanis is even more embarrassing to fail.
He couldn't refute it, Wang Guilin discussed it with Zheng Yucheng, and he could only carry out the order.
"You have to drag their target plane to fly for a little longer, otherwise the target plane will fly back before it is ready, and that will be troublesome. Wang Guilin reminded Song Deming.
Song Deming nodded and didn't say anything more.
"Haven't entered the target area yet?" Zhao Xi asked with a frown.
The target plane can fly in the sky for more than an hour, and it is reasonable to have entered the target area, is it flying in the wrong place?
"Mr. Zhao, their people didn't move. "Now the target is flying autonomously, and we have to wait until they find out before switching to remote control." ”
"What is the signal strength of the remote control? This is not a special shooting range, and the infrastructure is not strong. Zhao Xi is worried that the remote control signal here is not good, although it is only more than ten kilometers away.
"No problem. We used the radio equipment of their garrison, and the signal was even stronger on this side than on the other side of the range. The technician's answer made Zhao Xi breathe a sigh of relief, as long as the signal was not affected.
"How's it going? Why haven't your people moved yet?" Mubara sniffed Li Mingshan, "Are we going to affect you here?"
"No!" I asked them what was going on. Li Mingshan scolded secretly in his heart, knowing that it would affect him, but he didn't see them leave.
waved to Song Deming, who was talking in the ear of a technician.
He didn't want to ask Zheng Yucheng, the old guy didn't have a few words of truth in his mouth.
"Chief, are you looking for me?" Song Deming finished instructing, and after the technician turned to leave, he ran in front of Li Mingshan. "What does the chief command?"
"What's the matter with your people? Haven't started shooting yet?" asked Li Mingshan.
"I don't know, there's no reply on the walkie-talkie, I'll ask. Song Deming said calmly, then turned around and went to the person with the radio walkie-talkie on his back next to him, and questioned the personnel arranged by the shooting range.
The Pakistanis are in a hurry, they are waiting for the results.
For this individual anti-aircraft missile of the 404 base, they are not interested.
Chinese anti-aircraft missiles are all imitations of the Soviet Union, and they are also early Soviet models, which they know very well. How advanced is the performance of the individual anti-aircraft missile that can be made?
The performance parameters introduced by Xie Kai before, they didn't think it was true.
Probably bragging.
There is a big gap between the theoretical data and the actual performance data, which is normal. There are so many factors that affect the overall performance.
They are not interested, but the financiers behind them are interested.
I just happened to meet the other party's test.
"Colonel, they are currently preparing for the target, and the target aircraft has not yet reached the range area. After receiving the news, Musharraf said to a middle-aged man about his age.
The colonel frowned, "Since they deliberately prepared it for us, why don't they let us see their target aircraft with our own eyes? Isn't it more convincing to see their missile performance?"
Not to mention that the colonel couldn't figure it out, even Musharraf and others couldn't figure it out
"Maybe they're not ready to sell this missile at all. Musharraf didn't know how to answer.
This kind of thing, who knows?
China knows that the weapons and equipment we need are easy to operate and maintain, and many military factories have purchased all kinds of Soviet weapons through various channels after our first purchase, waiting for our purchasing team to come and buy them. The colonel shook his head.
Apparently not believing that the other side is not ready to sell missiles to them.
I don't want to sell missiles to them, how can I possibly introduce them to them?
The technology of many of China's military factories is not very good, and the ability to imitate conventional weapons and equipment is shocking.
A lot of Iraq's weapons came from the Soviet Union, and now because the Soviets support the Iranians, Iraq has lost a lot of weapons sources.
It's not that the Soviets were reluctant to sell weapons, it's that the Soviets were too expensive.
Fighting this war has stretched Iraq's huge foreign exchange reserves and owes a lot of money.
China can provide imitation products, and it is as easy to maintain them as the Soviet Union, although the quality cannot be compared with the Soviet Union, and the price is much cheaper than that of the Soviet Union.
Not only Iraq is buying weapons and equipment from China, but even Iran is buying them.
In such a situation, the colonel would not believe that the Chinese were unwilling to sell them missiles.
Not selling it would have been so deliberate to arouse their interest, and then it would be so arranged outside of it.
"So no one knows what they think, Colonel, I suggest you don't rush too much, their purpose will be brought up sooner or later. This unit is different from others. Musharraf said, "We have been passive since they pitched out their projects with us. The original $50 million in the first phase of R&D has now become a threshold fee for working with them......"
Musharraf was very unhappy with China's behavior.
Even if this is a great benefit to them, they always feel deceived by the other party.
"Wait and see. The Colonel nodded.
Mubara and Kachihd were also waiting, and their translators were standing next to the Chinese communications staff to find out what the Chinese were doing.
"How many of you are familiar with the operation of this missile, right?" said a technician in his forties to several technicians in front of him in the rocket research institute, "The mission has been made clear, once the target plane flies back, they must not be allowed to land on the ground." Got it?"
"Deng Gong, we all know about this missile, if we had hit the target before, we would have been able to guarantee the completion of the mission, but now we ......," a technician in his thirties said with embarrassment.
They are asked to shoot down the target plane with an anti-aircraft missile that has not yet been tested, and it is better for them to take a stick and stab it down.
At least, it's more likely.
"I know the difficulty, so let's do our best. Deng Gong nodded, "Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven, although the argument tells us that there is no problem with the design, and there is no problem with the computer simulation, no one can guarantee that it will work." Director Zheng also said, let everyone not be nervous, don't do it with pressure. ”
Zheng Yucheng didn't say this.
According to Zheng Yucheng's words conveyed by Song Deming, these people have to be under boundless pressure.
They are just scientific researchers, not soldiers.
"Understood. With these words, everyone is relieved. "We tried our best to ensure that we could shoot down, divided into two groups, and if one missile didn't hit, we used the other one, and if two couldn't hit it, there was no way. ”
"That's right. Let's go. Deng Gong nodded.
After the production and assembly of the avant-garde individual anti-aircraft missile was completed at the Hongqi Machinery Plant, it was stored in the finished product warehouse of the research institute.
Six researchers divided into two groups of three, each carrying an 18-kilogram, 1.6-meter-long individual missile launch system ran towards the outside of the base.
Outside the Hongqi Factory, the communications personnel finally received a report from the shooting range, and the personnel waiting for the missile launch had already discovered the target plane, but the distance was still too far away, and the target plane flew off.
"This is not a dedicated shooting range...... Zhao Xi was a little embarrassed.
It is also normal to fly in the direction of the map, and a slight deviation is several kilometers or even tens of kilometers.
"Let them report their bearings, adjust the direction of the target aircraft, and get closer to them. The height is reduced to 400, and the speed is 580......" Zhao Xi quickly gave the order.
The air defense radar of the base garrison regiment has been monitoring the target aircraft in the sky all the time.
It constantly reports the flight attitude, speed and direction of the target aircraft.
Feedback to the operator via radio communication.
The operator could not see the target aircraft, so he could only adjust the flight attitude according to the instructions of several radar vehicles and the base's air defense radar station.
"Report, target aircraft has been found, altitude 380, distance 4800, we have aimed at ......"
"Continue to keep watch, let the distance get closer and then fight!" At a distance of 4,800 meters, within the firing range, Song Deming was worried that the distance was too far to hit, so he gave an order.
When Zhao Xi heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and gave an order to the operator of the remote-controlled target aircraft, "Reduce the altitude to 120, speed 720, and maintain the direction of flight." ”
The technician gave the radio command through the remote control device as required.
Whether it was the monitored air defense radar or their own system feedback data, they told everyone that the target aircraft was flying according to orders.
"Distance 3700, Speed 200, Heading 07, Wind Speed 8, Wind Direction 03, Locked ......"
"Launch!"
"Boom ......"
Inside the radio communication device, reports from missile testers were constantly transmitted.
In the area of the test site where the electromagnetic bomb was tested at the original base, the red target plane was flying fast against the low peak, and on the other side of the mountain, a slender missile dragged a long tail flame towards the target plane flying farther and farther.
"Be sure to hit!" all those who watched prayed in their hearts.
The target plane still flew in the original direction several degrees, and the slender missile left a trail of smoke in the sky, chasing after the target plane......
"Alas!" When they saw that the missile exploded in the air dozens of meters away from the target plane, and the target plane was not affected in any way, the testers sighed neatly.
The missile exploded about 60 meters away from the target plane. ”
When the news of the failure reached the crowd outside the Hongqi factory, everyone fell silent.
"How can it fail?" Zheng Yucheng said angrily, "Isn't there another one? Let the target plane fly back and fight again!"
