(No one seems to have spoken about the update. Don’t you want it? If this is the case, forget it! Once more updates are updated, there will be more pirated versions. These two days are obvious examples... My wife was also having her birthday this month and was about to explode twice...)

Small caliber bullets began to be demonstrated in the 1970s. In 1982, the feasibility of 5.8mm heavy bullets as heavy machine guns and sniper rifles was discussed, and the test was conducted in 1986. This year, the project was just established to develop a system-wide system of 5.8mm heavy bullets, using the general machine guns, sniper rifles and scopes.

Before this, the Ninth Academy began to design and develop 5.8mm small-caliber rifles without any argumentation, and after various environmental tests, once the outside world knows, this will cause some trouble, and Liu Yijiu is too lazy to explain these things.

Therefore, the Ninth Court has always been hidden in these guns, and even the Blue Army is not equipped.

If Li Yunlong hadn't asked suddenly, he wouldn't have even mentioned this.

"In terms of our tanks, the world of the Dragon Guard series has already been clear. The main equipment is the Dragon Guard II and Dragon Guard III. The Destroyer is still undergoing related design modifications. As for infantry fighting vehicles, in addition to wheeled and tracked ones, there are new designs. Sample trial production and some tests will be carried out this year. It should be delivered to the Blue Army troops for combat experiments in the middle of next year..." The fifth area was originally a star unit of the entire Ninth Academy, but with all orders delivered, domestic orders began to be produced, and the benefits cannot be compared with fighter jets that are dozens of times more expensive.

Therefore, the limelight is no longer as strong as the aircraft industry.

In this case, the people in District 5 naturally feel a little disappointed, but there is no way, so they can only continue to design more equipment desperately.

"These are the research results of the current conventional equipment of the Ninth Academy. Of course, there is also missiles and rocket launchers. There is no need to talk about this in detail, right? The developed ones, except for the 336 rocket launcher that was eliminated by the Blue Army, are all equipped with troops..." Liu Yijiu asked Long Yaohua.

The emergence of tactical missiles, and the range from 8208 with a range of 250 kilometers to the tactical support missiles under development with a range of 1,000 kilometers, is much more expensive than long-range rocket launchers, but the strike accuracy is much higher. Therefore, the Blue Army does not need to equip these equipment with great power in the organization that is not large, but cannot perform precise strikes.

"The 336 rocket launcher is no longer equipped with troops?" Long Yaohua exclaimed in an instant.

There is no introduction to this aspect in the Blue Army's development plan.

"Although rocket launchers are much cheaper than missiles, they need to add guidance devices to control accuracy within a certain range, so it is better to develop more missiles!" Liu Yijiu introduced.

From the beginning, rocket launchers have been vigorously developed by countries around the world because the launch speed is fast enough. Under the volley of multiple launch vehicles, it is very powerful and has strong destructive power.

That is the most fiercer one of the Blues' long-range firepower at present.

"But the price of missiles is higher, and the precise strike performed by the missile cannot cause damage to the enemy. When the enemy's armored vehicles gather on a large scale, if the missiles are used to strike, the cost is too high and the range of the heavy artillery is not enough, the role of the rocket launcher will be reflected..." As a big shot who prefers cannons, both Qiu Yue and Li Yunlong are unwilling to accept that there are no rocket launchers with a longer range in the Blue Army's sequence.

"And, the current range of 336 rocket launcher is 120 kilometers, which is the gap between tactical missiles and short-range ground-to-ground missiles..." Li Yunlong murmured, "Under the current circumstances, 336 fills the gap between short-range ground-to-ground missiles and the 8208 missiles. According to the current firepower configuration of our Blue Army strike range, between 60 kilometers and 250 kilometers, there are 336 rocket launchers filling the gap; and between 8208 missiles and 600 kilometers of tactical missiles, there should be rocket launchers with a range of 400 to 500 kilometers to fill the gap..."

Not to mention disagreeing with the withdrawal of the 336 rocket launcher from the Blues sequence, Li Yunlong even proposed to develop rocket launchers with a longer range to strengthen the Blues' long-range support capabilities.

"Yes, the Blue Army's long-range fire support is indeed a bit blank at this distance. Using missiles with a range of 600 kilometers is a bit wasteful. If the enemy gathers on a large scale within this range...especially across the strait, they should be deterred. Coverage bombing of rocket launchers with a range of 400-500 kilometers is the most deterrent. In addition, various combat components, such as cluster bombs, heavy cloud bombs, etc. that you are studying..." Qiu Yue also agreed with this opinion.

Artillery thought has always occupied the mainstream in squadron construction.

This is no different from the idea of ​​the mainland army passed down to the Soviet Union.

Rocket launchers are the most powerful armed forces of conventional forces.

"This depends on how the Ninth Academy considers it." Long Yaohua obviously has the same attitude. "However, rocket launchers are different from missiles. The United States and the Soviet Union negotiated and signed the Treaty on Complete Destruction of Medium-range Nuclear Missiles of the Two Countries in the previous year. All medium-range missiles with a range of 500 to 1,000 kilometers and medium-range missiles with a range of 1,000 to 5,000 kilometers. Although we are not within this treaty, we should also avoid them using such excuses to target us one day in the future..."

Rocket launchers are not missiles.

Moreover, the United States and the Soviet Union have been vigorously developing various missiles in order to achieve a longer range of precise strike capabilities.

Now, as soon as the Intermediate-Range Treaty is signed, missiles with a range of 500-5,000 kilometers must be destroyed. In this way, if there is a conflict within this range, either you can only dispatch a group of fighter jets or you can only use long-range intercontinental missiles with a longer range to attack...

Rocket launchers, this is not a missile, and it is not within the scope of the Intermediate-Future Forces Treaty.

This is entirely to avoid the Intermediate Forces Treaty.

Perhaps, the ultra-long range Guard rocket launcher series was also created for this thing?

However, Liu Yijiu really feels that rocket launchers with too long range are not of much use. Even if cluster bombs are used as warheads, they will not have too much power. The reason why rocket launchers are artillery still requires large-scale intensive bombing to produce better results. They do not have the precise strike capability of missiles, and the range is longer, which brings a decrease in power. He immediately asked several big shots jokingly, "Does a rocket launcher with a range of about 700 kilometers have to be developed in the area of ​​600-1,000 kilometers, so that our firepower configuration can be improved?"

"Of course this is possible. After all, the cost of rocket launchers is much lower than that of missiles." Qiu Yue nodded affirmatively.

Long Yaohua didn't say anything, but he also heard the joke in Liu Yijiu's words, "With such a long-range range, the cost of rocket launchers will not be much lower than that of missiles, and the accuracy is not as good as that of missiles. There is no need to develop..."

"So, the leader also supports the development of rocket launchers with a range of 400-500 kilometers?" Liu Yijiu asked Long Yaohua, "Even if it is researched, it is impossible for the Blue Army to be equipped. It is not large in scale and its power will not be too high..."

"It is completely necessary. After the 336 rocket launcher of the Ninth Academy was successful, the research direction of the entire research team turned to missiles. Missiles are long-range strike weapons as strategic and tactical support, and the cost is too high..." Long Yaohua nodded. "But there is no need for a high range, and it is enough to be around 400 kilometers. And the cost cannot be too high."

"The funding is not enough." Liu Yijiu didn't want to build such a rocket launcher at all.

China will not join the Intermediate-Range Forces Treaty for at least the next twenty years.

Moreover, the United States is not so honest, destroying all medium-range and medium-range missiles. Otherwise, it would not have so many Tomahawk missiles and other air-launched missiles.

After the range is longer, the warhead that the missile can carry will not be too high, and rocket launchers will not be able to have stronger warheads unless they are used for nuclear weapons. Conventional weapons require large-scale intensive use, while missiles will conduct precise strikes on targets.

"The funding is not enough? Didn't you say it at the beginning that the 336 rocket launcher can reach this range by making certain design modifications, and the diameter will not increase too much?" Li Yunlong was immediately dissatisfied. "What you said before was that the technical difficulty was not very big, the difficulty was how to improve the hit accuracy. Even this kind of rocket launcher can also be used on missile battleships!"

Before, the people from the Ninth Academy did have this idea. After the successful development of the 336 rocket launcher, Liu Yijiu always wanted to create the Guardian-2, the rocket launcher with the farthest range in history and the farthest range in the world.

The Guardian-2 rocket launcher has a diameter of 400 mm, a total weight of 1285 kilograms, and a total length of 7302 mm. It consists of parts such as fuse, warhead, control system, solid rocket engine and bullet structure. The maximum flight speed is Mach 5.6.

The rocket launcher adopts six-unit equipment, which can replace multiple warheads, and can even load drones carrying bombs inside one rocket, with a maximum range of 480 kilometers.

At the same time, this rocket is equipped with an inertial guidance unit, and satellite guidance and laser signal guidance can be used at the end, thereby replacing the more expensive short-range tactical missile to a certain extent.

However, this is too similar to the base's tactical missiles, so Liu Yijiu stopped this project.

At such a long distance, even if dozens of rockets are fired at a volley, the effect will not be too ideal. The greater function is to deterrence, and the deterrence of rocket launchers is far inferior to that of missiles.
