Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team
Chapter 574 The Cure for the Fear of Insufficient Firepower
Other countries certainly have similar weapons, such as the US military, which focuses on precision and efficiency. They do not pursue excessive firepower on a single platform, but rather emphasize system support.
Modular long-range rocket artillery, HIMARS from the United States, M270, and the Tornado-S from the United States...
However, their approach differs from that of our army. Our army uses rocket artillery as the main force for deep strikes, replacing some short-range ballistic missiles, while their long-range strikes rely primarily on the air force, without investing heavily in rocket artillery firepower.
The same goes for light tanks: the US M10 Booker, the Russian 2S25 Octopus, and the Indian Zolava light tank.
Individual rocket launchers are available in many countries, such as the US AT4/M72, the German Iron Fist 3, and the Russian RPG-7, but they are only carried in small numbers by squad assault soldiers, and ordinary soldiers are not issued them.
There are also large-caliber heavy machine guns, such as the American M2HB and the Russian NSV, which are also 12.7mm, but they are extremely bulky and mostly mounted on vehicles, not used for infantry mobility.
The same applies to close-in weapon systems (CIWS). The US Phalanx has 6 barrels, the Dutch Goalkeeper has 7 barrels, and the Russian Kashtan all have shipborne rotary CIWS, but none of them have as many barrels or as fast a rate of fire as ours.
The same applies to air defense systems. Russia's Pantsir, Israel's Iron Dome, and the US Stryker air defense vehicles all aim for precision, but interception is not so easy.
The Russian Pantsir has only 48 micro rounds, while the US military has a maximum of 8 per vehicle. For the same chassis, we directly double the ammunition. While pursuing accuracy, we focus on saturation through quantity, similar to how a novice can defeat a master with a flurry of punches.
This is due to the difference in design philosophy.
The US prioritizes the system, relying on the air force, drones, and long-range missiles to supplement firepower, with ground equipment being sufficient and avoiding the accumulation of firepower on individual vehicles.
Infantry anti-tank and long-range suppression will be handled by the air force; not every soldier will be equipped with a rocket launcher, and rocket artillery will not be turned into missile launchers.
The Russian heavy equipment has a large caliber, but it is limited by electronics and chassis, and its ammunition preparation, automation and modularization are not keeping up; moreover, the basic infantry are not equipped with individual rocket launchers for every soldier.
As for the small Nordic countries and medium-sized Western European countries, they also pursue lightweight, precision, and low cost, with air support as the main means of suppressing firepower, and very little redundancy in firepower per vehicle.
We are different. In order to ensure that a single platform has overwhelming firepower, even if it means increasing weight and costs, we absolutely cannot allow it to be unable to fire, unable to fire far, or lacking ammunition.
Our unique design logic is to deploy lightweight heavy firepower down to the squad and platoon level, so that individual soldiers and small groups have artillery-level lethality. Heavy firepower that can be deployed downwards will never be moved upwards, and the firepower reserves of any unit can be fully utilized.
Furthermore, for the same tonnage and chassis, we should optimize the caliber, rate of fire, ammunition capacity, and range, and reserve a large amount of firepower redundancy. It's not a problem if we don't use it all; the problem is if we don't have enough.
Finally, it does not rely solely on air or rear artillery support; a single infantry squad can independently accomplish assaults, suppression, anti-armor operations, and air defense.
Of course, the above are just some everyday gadgets. What's truly frightening are the three major families of the Trinity.
First and foremost is the Dongfeng family, which is most familiar to our brothers.
With its powerful and thunderous force, the Dongfeng-17 hypersonic missile possesses all-weather capability, independence, and strong penetration ability, enabling it to carry out precision strikes against medium- and short-range targets.
With its unique waverider warhead and flexible, unpredictable flight trajectory, it significantly reduces the enemy's early warning and interception time, making it a new type of killer weapon for our military to defeat the enemy.
The missile is approximately 11 meters long, weighs about 15 tons at launch, is propelled by a solid rocket, can be launched from a road-mobile location without a launch pad, and has a range of 1800–2500 kilometers, covering all key military targets in the first and second island chains.
The world's first standard-issue waverider glide vehicle can perform lateral trajectory changes and glide across a wide range of near-space distances of 60-100km.
In terms of speed, it ranges from Mach 5 to 10 throughout the entire flight, with extremely high terminal velocity for penetrating defenses. Existing anti-missile systems cannot calculate and intercept its trajectory.
The guidance method is a composite guidance system that combines inertial navigation, BeiDou satellite navigation, and terminal scene matching, with a circular error probability within 5 meters.
The warhead is a conventional high-explosive/penetrating warhead weighing 500–800 kg, capable of penetrating deep underground fortifications made of reinforced concrete and the decks of large ships. It can independently complete precise deep-penetration attacks from a single platform, filling gaps in long-range penetration firepower.
The mighty Dongfeng missile, with its awe-inspiring power, is more familiar to everyone. The Dongfeng-5C liquid-fueled intercontinental strategic nuclear missile has a global strike range, is on constant alert, and serves as an effective deterrent, using force to stop war and stabilize the world!
This is a core weapon of my country's strategic counterattack system. Its ultra-large payload can carry multiple independently targetable nuclear warheads, giving it the capability for rapid nuclear counterattack across all domains.
This will completely end the historical shortcomings of weak long-range nuclear delivery capabilities and insufficient destructive power.
The missile is 32.6 meters long, 3.35 meters in diameter, and has a total takeoff weight of 183 tons. It is powered by a two-stage storable liquid rocket engine, which has high thrust and extremely high redundancy in its launch.
With a maximum range of 15000–18000 km, its Arctic trajectory can provide global coverage without any blind spots.
With a launch weight exceeding 5 tons, it can carry up to 10 independently targetable nuclear warheads, or a single high-yield warhead with a yield of 10 megatons, along with a large number of decoys for penetration.
The missile is deployed in underground fixed silos, is on constant combat readiness 24/7, and uses inertial guidance combined with BeiDou navigation system. Its terminal velocity exceeds Mach 20, leaving an extremely short window for missile defense interception.
Compared to the new generation of intercontinental ballistic missiles from the US and Russia, such as the US Trident and the Russian Sarmat, which have been lightweighted and reduced in weight, the Dongfeng-5C is the only one that still retains an ultra-large missile body, maximizing payload and warhead quantity, a typical product of the fear of insufficient firepower.
Furthermore, the Dongfeng is an extremely large family, including not only the two typical ones mentioned above, but also the short-range tactical DF-11/11A, DF-15/15A/15B/15C, and DF-16 (Okinawa Express).
A trump card for medium- or medium-to-long-range operations, the world's only family of anti-ship ballistic missiles, including the DF-21/21A/21C/21D, and the DF-26 (Guam Express).
以及高超音速东风- 27,还有洲际战略核东风液体重型井射的DF-5,DF-5B,固体机动洲际系列的DF-31/31A/31AG/31BJ
The Dongfeng-31AG is a road-integrated TEL launcher; the Dongfeng-41 is a road/rail dual-mobile launcher; and the Dongfeng-61 is a lightweight road/rail integrated launcher.
The God of War spreads his wings and soars ten thousand miles!
Of course, there are also backup plans in the air. The H-6N bomber can achieve all-domain reach by relying on aerial refueling, and can carry air-launched long-range strategic missiles to build a complete air-based nuclear strike capability. It is an important air weapon to safeguard the core interests of the country.
Its basic range and combat radius are 3000–4000 km, which can be extended to 5000–6000 km after aerial refueling. Its hardpoint configuration consists of six heavy hardpoints on the wings, plus a heavy-load hardpoint on the center of the fuselage.
The wings can carry the Changjian-20 cruise missile and the Yingji-12 anti-ship missile, while the fuselage can only carry a single Jinglei-1 long-range air-launched ballistic missile.
The Thunder-1 is an air-launched, long-range hypersonic missile with a length of 10–13.5m, a diameter of 1.5–1.8m, and a single missile launch weight of 12–15 tons.
In terms of range, the missile itself has a range of 5000–8000 km. With the H-6N refueling and the missile's range added together, the overall strike radius exceeds 10000 km, covering key targets worldwide.
The biconical hypersonic warhead glides at Mach 5–20 throughout its trajectory, making it difficult for existing anti-missile systems to calculate and intercept its trajectory.
In terms of warheads, it is capable of carrying both nuclear and conventional warheads, including a nuclear warhead with a yield of 30 kilotons of TNT or a heavy penetrating conventional warhead, with a circular error probable of 10–20 meters.
This is the world's first operationally deployed air-launched long-range ballistic missile, filling the air-based gap in my country's triad nuclear forces.
