More importantly, the choice of combat platform for the DZB-221 air-launched ballistic missile is not limited to the improved H-6. After all, the improved H-6 is suitable for highly flexible hypersonic weapons such as the DZB-221 air-launched ballistic missile. It still seems a bit bulky.
After all, the weight of the DZB-221 air-launched ballistic missile is only 4 tons, and the improved H-6 can only carry 3 missiles at most. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to achieve this due to the aerodynamic characteristics and internal structure of the H-6 itself. The DZB-221 air-launched ballistic missile is launched at a speed of Mach 0.9, so the combat effectiveness is reduced.
Therefore, the effectiveness of using tactical aircraft to carry them will be more lethal than those carried by slow bombers.
Among the domestic air force models, only the Su-27 series of tactical aircraft that can carry DZB-221 air-launched ballistic missiles can do so, because the belly tandem pylon of this type of aircraft is long enough and wide enough, and more importantly It was the Russians who used the Su-27 series to conduct tests equipped with "Sunzhi" anti-ship missiles.
You must know that the weight of this supersonic anti-ship missile specially built for the "Modern" class guided missile destroyer reaches 4.5 tons.
Such big guys like the Su-27 series can be easily carried, and the smaller dzb-221 air-launched ballistic missile with only 4 tons is naturally no problem.
Of course, the early models of the Su-27 cannot carry the DZB-221 air-launched ballistic missile. After all, as an air-worn fighter, it not only lacks a ground attack module, but the structural strength of the fuselage cannot adapt to the 4-ton heavyweight. Destroy.
Only the improved version of the Su-27 can do the job.
This is why the Air Force still spends a lot of money to purchase the Russian-made Su-30mkk after acquiring the Su-27 air superiority fighter, excellent fighter-bombers such as the FBC-1a, and the Q-5 improved close support aircraft.
Enhancing the Air Force's ground strike capabilities is one aspect, but more importantly is the existence of the DZB-221 air-launched ballistic missile. Because of this, the Air Force has not added a series of so-called "high technologies" to the Su-30 like New Delhi. Instead, we emphasize three points very pragmatically:
The first body structure must meet the normal use under large loading conditions.
The second bomb load must be guaranteed.
The third ground attack module should have high redundancy.
These three requirements were specifically put forward to meet the needs of the DZB-221 air-launched ballistic missile. However, they were denigrated by the New Delhi media as conservative. They did not have the advanced technology of New Delhi. Little did they know that the domestic Su-30mkk had DZB-221 air-launched ballistic missile.
With the combat radius of the Su-30mkk of 1,500 kilometers combined with the range of the dzb-221 air-launched ballistic missile of 1,500 kilometers, coupled with its super high-altitude orbit change and hypersonic penetration capabilities, a Su-30mkk is enough to be worth a medium-sized missile. range ballistic missile launch battalion.
More importantly, as a tactical aircraft, the Su-30mkk is flexible and can launch long-distance attacks at deep second-tier airports, as well as direct assaults at first-tier airports. However, the range of the dzb-221 air-launched ballistic missile is there, so it is fake. Instead of attacking outside the defense zone, I will definitely hit you if I want to, and you won't be able to hit me if you want to, which is a rogue approach.
What's this?
A true game changer.
The dzb-221 air-launched ballistic missile has changed more than just the surrounding situation. The aerospace industry is also facing a major reshuffle due to the emergence of the dzb-221 air-launched ballistic missile.
And this is what makes Zhuang Jianye the most depressed. The reason is very simple. This is the first masterpiece derived from the "Killer" program to be approved by the army and installed in parallel. It has indeed allowed China to take off in the field of hypersonics and aerospace. foot.
But when I turned around, I suddenly discovered that the subversive nature of the DZB-221 air-launched ballistic missile was simply beyond imagination.
Because only the Su-27 series can carry the DZB-221 air-launched ballistic missile, due to the actual situation of future military struggles, the Air Force and Navy quickly adjusted their established aircraft model development plans.
So, starting from Yonghong Factory, through Ascendas Group, the carrier-based aircraft project that China Ascendas has insisted on until now is once again facing discontinuation.
The reason is self-evident. China's take-off carrier-based aircraft belongs to the light aircraft series, and the Zhangpotian is also a medium-sized aircraft. Now the introduction of the dzb-221 air-launched ballistic missile has prompted the naval aviation, especially its future carrier-based aircraft, to A heavy-duty aircraft is required to carry the DZB-221 air-launched ballistic missile.
Because of this, the Navy prefers to have a heavy-duty aircraft similar to the Russian-made Su-33 heavy-duty carrier-based aircraft.
The same is true for the Air Force Aviation. The fbc-1a is good, but its potential has been basically exhausted in several rounds of improvements. More importantly, the fbc-1a cannot adapt to the DZB-221 air-launched ballistic missile, so the Air Force Aviation terminated the fbc-1a. The subsequent improvement plan of 1a is to seek a heavy-duty aircraft with the same capabilities as the Su-30mkk fighter as the main force for future ground attacks.
Zhuang Jianye never expected that the DZB-221 air-launched ballistic missile would become a double-edged sword. While establishing authority in related fields for China's take-off, it also cut off a few weapons and equipment businesses in one fell swoop.
It can be said that Xiao He succeeds and Xiao He loses.
Fortunately, Zhuang Jianye changed very quickly. On the one hand, he actively strived to retain some of the improvement plans of the old models. On the other hand, he put aside his prejudices and reached a strategic cooperation with Northeast Airlines Group.
There is no way, whether it is a heavy carrier-based aircraft or a heavy fighter-bomber, the benchmark model is the Su-27 series. The best domestic Su-27 manufacturer is the Northeast Airlines Group, so there is a high probability that future carrier-based aircraft and fighter-bombers will If it is placed in Northeast Airlines Group, China Ascendas will naturally get a share of the future feast by cooperating with it.
Of course, the dzb-221 air-launched ballistic missile is only a small category in the "killer trumpet" plan launched by China Tengfei. At this stage, it can only hit long-distance fixed targets, and its accuracy against mobile targets is not high.
In the future, when the domestic satellite navigation system and other related supporting systems are completed, the combat capabilities of the dzb-221 air-launched ballistic missile will usher in a qualitative improvement.
And this is only part of the air-launched ballistic missile in the "Killer" plan. Currently, China Tengfei is developing a large-scale air-launched ballistic missile with a longer range and stronger maneuverability, which is tailor-made for the H-6 bomber. That is The real killer of space-based platforms.
As for the land-based dzb-211, to put it bluntly, it is an object used by China to take off. It has no obvious advantages in terms of range or attack capabilities compared with other land-based missiles equipped in China, especially the jszb-08 hypersonic warhead. The emergence of old land-based missiles that can be well modified to double their attack power and penetration capabilities further highlights the worthlessness of the dzb-211.
So China Tengfei simply simplified the guidance module based on the DZB-221 air-launched ballistic missile, replaced the high-cost laser gyroscope and starry sky guidance with cheap GPS and radar guidance, and launched it as a guided rocket.
The air-launched type cannot be sold, but no one can care about the land-based type. After all, everyone in China knows that this thing is useless. If it can earn foreign exchange, it would be better to sell more.
