Shoot down the U.S. F-117 stealth aircraft missile, it turns out that China really has
According to the words of many buyers, it is good-looking! NATO calls it sam 11 , the Beech missile , a medium-range surface-to-air missile system developed by the former Soviet Union in the 1970s that performs quite well.
Serviced in 1979, an upgraded version with expanded range appeared in 1984. The new "Beech" anti-aircraft missile is 5.56 meters long, 0.4 meters in diameter, 0.86 meters in wingspan, 690 kilograms in weight, with a maximum speed of 3 times the speed of sound, an effective range of 3-32 kilometers, and an altitude of 15-22,000 meters.
The Beech missile is equipped with a 70 kg fragmented kill warhead and can be used to attack a variety of targets such as fighters, bombers, cruise missiles and so on. Because the missile uses semi-active radar guidance, the entire set of mobile missile systems by the search radar vehicle, the missile system needs to first use the search radar to find the target, and then hand over to the fire control radar to track and illuminate the target, after the target enters the range to launch the missile, the seeker on the missile will automatically track the target's reflected wave, fly to the target, so its hit rate is still very high.
In the 1999 Kosovo War, the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia air defense fighters used its prototype 2K12 "Cube" air defense missile to shoot down a US F-117 "Nighthawk" stealth fighter, breaking the myth of the invincibility of stealth fighters, and because of this time, we intend to introduce the missile.
Beech " anti-aircraft missile system, its shipboard version "Skili" SHTIL equipped to the Modern-class destroyers and other large and medium-sized surface ships, NATO code name SA-N-7. In the 1990s, the mainland introduced the "Squili" (purchase of four Hyundai-class destroyers) shipboard air defense missile system from Russia, which gave the mainland navy the first time that the fleet had regional point air defense capabilities.
In view of the fact that the missile system and strike accuracy at that time could not satisfy us, so after the reverse absorption and improvement of the mainland, the mainland launched a domestic version of the Red Flag 16 and the Sea Red Flag 16, respectively, equipped with our army and navy, which were the main medium-range air defense missile systems of our army at that time.
Haihongqi 16, it has realized China's transformation of the sea-based model Schilli in the beech family missile, the Sea Red Flag 16 can not only be launched vertically, its strike power and accuracy are more than an order of magnitude higher than the beech, at present it is still seen in some areas - beech missiles, shooting down stealth aircraft for China to breathe, it came to China after being reborn, strong and strong.
