Global coverage, optical accuracy: how does Dongfeng – 5C become the final axle of the 93 parade?
Twelve large missile carriers carrying the “Dongfeng – 5C” liquid intercontinental strategic nuclear missile came in, and tens of thousands of spectators cheered at the scene. Behind the cheering was the confidence of a nation and the call for a country to strengthen itself.
“Dongfeng – 5C liquid intercontinental strategic nuclear missile has a global strike range. ”On September 3 in Beijing Tiananmen Square, when the announcer’s sonorous voice sounded, this great power weapon that came to the end of the show instantly ignited the passion of the whole audience.
As a military parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti Fascist War Shaft pressing equipment The appearance of Dongfeng – 5C is no accident.
01 Why press the shaft
The fundamental reason why Dongfeng – 5C can be used as the final equipment lies in its Core position 。
During this military parade, the nuclear missile team for the first time focused on demonstrating China’s land, sea and air based “trinity” strategic nuclear force, and Dongfeng – 5C is part of this system Strategic Fist 。
Professor Yang Chengjun, a military expert, pointed out that DF-5C has five distinctive features: The structure is updated, the range is longer, the flight speed is faster, multiple homing warheads can be carried, and the guidance is accurate 。
“The range of the DF-5C missile can cover the whole world, which means that China has the ability and means to counter any military target in the world that poses a real nuclear threat to China”.
02 Advanced technology
As China’s latest liquid intercontinental strategic nuclear missile, DF-5C integrates a number of cutting-edge technologies. The whole missile passes Three transport vehicles transport in sections , indicating that its launch preparation time is significantly shorter and its reaction speed is faster than that of the previous generation products.
In terms of penetration capability, Dongfeng-5C can be carried Multiple independently guided warheads (MIRV), these warheads can be nuclear warheads, conventional warheads or decoys, which greatly increases the difficulty of defense system interception.
Its flight speed is expected to reach Dozens Mach , which will significantly reduce the preparation time of the existing ballistic missile interception system, making it difficult for the opponent to respond effectively.
03 Optics and Guidance Technology
Although the optical technology details of DF-5C are not directly mentioned in the public report, we can infer the advanced guidance technology that may be used according to the analysis of missile experts.
Professor Yang Chengjun said that intercontinental ballistic missiles will generally adopt Inertial guidance system And Starlight guidance system Technology, combined with China’s self-developed Beidou positioning system.
After comprehensive application of multiple guidance modes, the strike accuracy of Dongfeng – 5C missile is very high, which can achieve the strike accuracy comparable to that of Dongfeng medium and short range ballistic missile.
Starlight guidance technology It is a precise technology that uses the star position for navigation. It captures the star image through optical sensors, compares it with the preset star image, and then corrects the missile flight path. This technology can provide reliable guidance even when the Beidou system is disturbed.
04 Strategic significance
The global coverage of Dongfeng – 5C is of far-reaching strategic significance. Shao Yongling, a military expert, explained that having intercontinental strategic nuclear missiles with a range covering the world means that Select any place in China as the launch base , the transmission point is more flexible.
This not only increases the unpredictability of missile launch points, but also increases the suddenness of nuclear counterattack. The global range also means that the trajectory selection can be more flexible, avoiding the key defense areas of the anti missile system, and choosing flight routes that are easier to penetrate.
“Grasp the strategic heavy weapon and forge the shield of peace”. The appearance of these strategic models reminds Chinese people not to forget history, and reminds us not to ignore the real threats.
When Dongfeng-5C passed Chang’an Street, the audience held up their mobile cameras to record the shocking moment.
A senior military reporter sighed: “There are only two things I don’t know, neither this nor that.” This seems like a joke, but behind it is China’s military technology A true portrayal of rapid development 。
From the “Wanguo” weapons on the founding ceremony in 1949 to all localization, from mechanization to informatization and intelligence, the military parade on Tiananmen Square is like a condensed history of China’s strong military.
