Plateau Liang Sword!China Red Flag-17A short-range air defense missile real bombs, unveiled the mystery

[Military Bills Plane] Author: Lele

Recently, "CCTV Military" reported the firepower regiment of the Army's Xinjiang Military Region to use a new type of ground -to -air missile on an altitude of more than 4,500 meters of plateau, successfully shot down the high -speed ultra -low air -neat target aircraft. Judging from the video data displayed in the report, this ground-to-air missile that launched in the plateau training is exactly the very mysterious Red Flag-17A short-range air defense missile in my country's air defense missile combat sequence. And if the "high-speed", "ultra-low altitude penetration" target aircraft and other factors are combined with it, and it is born to the famous Russian-style "Dou" M1 short-range air-type air defense missile. Even the most important reason for the scale of service in the army, in fact, has been displayed to the fullest.

Since the 1990s, various arms in my country have introduced a large number of advanced equipment from Russia, but most of them are naval and air force equipment. The scale and amount of cost consumption of the army procurement equipment are relatively low. In fact, in more than 20 years before and after, the largest procurement project of the domestic army is known for its stability and reliability. The Mi-171 transport helicopter that is still serving in land navigation is still in the land navigation. In addition, even if it was highly anticipated by the outside world, the T-80U main battle tank that had arrived in Changping, Beijing in 1993, did not get the order of the Chinese army that thought it was ten. Not to mention, the K-50 armed helicopters, 2S19 self-propelled artillery and other equipment have been displayed in China, but "Dou" M1 is a rare exception.

Around 1995, the first 15 sets of "Dou" M1 was introduced from Russia, and 120 9M331 air defense missiles equipped with it were equipped with about a group of elite air defense forces. Because of the performance of the "Dou" M1, the second batch was quickly introduced in China, and the number was close to the first batch. After a total of about 30 sets of "Dou" M1, the Army really came up with the idea of ​​imitating the "Dou" M1. In 2002, China and Russia officially began negotiations on the imitation production of "Doul" M1. It is said that the number proposed in China at that time was very amazing -160 sets, and the Russian response at that time was also very decisive -not accepting imitation. After that, the negotiations between the two parties continued for a long time, but Russia has not been loosened. Eventually, around 2012, the domestic Red Flag-17 officially equipped the army forces.

There are two different sayings about the technology source of Hongqi-17, which are obtained by Russia's authorization and self-imitation. Since the official did not report publicly, there has been controversy, and the final mystery is also very simple-Hongqi-17's export model FM-2000. In fact, imitation of the introduced Russian-made equipment is not just the Red Flag-17, the famous J-11/16, which is also a Su-27SK fighter that is purchased through imitation. However, while obtaining Russia's imitation authorization, the Russian side also made corresponding requirements, that is, the imitation model must not be sold to the outside world. "Doul" M1 as an important export equipment for Russia (Iran introduced 29 units for $ 700 million in 2006, and later used this equipment to accidentally hit Ukraine PS752 flight). Therefore, the Red Flag-17 should be an autonomous reverse imitation.

The reason why the Chinese Army rarely introduced the "Dou" M1 vehicle, and it cost a lot to imitate it because of the superior performance of the "Dou" M1 itself, and the Soviet Army classic field air defense thoughts behind it Equally excellent. During the Cold War, the Soviet Army armored forces will always attack westward and quickly occupy the European mainland as the core combat idea, and continuously improved the "Dou" M1 -level field accompaniment system in accordance with demand. It is not only highly integrated and good at mobility, but also can achieve interbank launch. The overall performance is not comparable to the Red Flag-6 and Red Flag-7 series that has been developing in China that year. In the end, after feeling the excellent performance of the "Dou" M1, and a fairly expensive price, it is understandable to imitate it.

However, after the first phase of the imitation, domestic technology progress and troops combat demand were further derived from the subsequent development model Red Flag-17A. According to official reports, the Red Flag-17A continues the integrated design, realizing an integrated search, fire control radar on a launch vehicle, and 8 vertical launch on air missiles. Array radar (this is a strong domestic point). At the same time, the guiding head and rocket engine of the missile have also been adjusted to further improve their anti -interference capacity and motor level. At present, the Red Flag-17A mainly undertakes the first-class field-to-air air defense mission in the army. Play its own combat effectiveness in complex terrain such as plateau and deserts.

At present, effective combat range like Red Flag-17A. In less than 30 kilometers of short -range air defense systems, more and more combat targets have been placed on the deployment of flexible advanced drones or armed helicopters that can fly ultra -low -altitude. Especially in the plateau area, due to geographical factors, the use of conventional ground equipment and drones has been limited, but instead, Wu Zhi can rely on maneuverability and the cover of the mountains. At this time, the red flag-17A that can be seriously threatened to the armed helicopter is undoubtedly a very excellent field air defense system. The direct reason for the "high -speed" goal. ▲ Red flag -17A on the wheeled mobility platform

In the current sequence of our army's air defense missile equipment, the most critical Red Flag-9, Red Flag-16 and Red Flag-17 have certain elements of Russian-made technology, especially the Red Flag-16 and Red Flag-17, which is simply in the same place. The original Russian -made weapons came from imitation. However, with the advancement of domestic related technologies, the performance of the three equipment quickly broke away from the most primitive imitation stage, and gradually moved towards a fully combined with its own needs to further improve indicators such as range, accuracy, and anti -interference ability. Nowadays in our army to take key tasks, and some of the exported Red Flag-9B, Red Flag-16B, Red Flag-17A and other derivative models have been exported. Although there are certain elements of Russian weapon design, whether it is the core of design or combat concept, whether It has already gone out of its own path, and in the future, it will inevitably show a more brilliant performance.
