It is rumored that "red wine" in Syria intercepts guided munitions 100%, and the missile performance is good, but it cannot be done

The information disclosed on the Internet, which has not been confirmed by authoritative media, is that in the recent air raids launched by the Israeli army on Syria, a number of JDAM precision-guided bombs and JSOW gliding bombs were intercepted by the "red wine" anti-aircraft defense system of the Dragon Kingdom.

In a video broadcast by a certain audio, when a blogger talked about "red wine," his eyebrows fluttered, claiming that the interception rate of the "red wine" air defense missile against the precision-guided munitions dropped by the Israeli army had reached an astonishing 100 percent.

To tell the truth, as a military fan and a self-media author who writes military and international articles, the author of this article, Guoping Vision, also hopes that the domestic "Red Wine" air defense missile will have a 100 percent interception probability of air-to-ground strike weapons.

However, in this world, there are really no anti-aircraft missiles that can intercept 100 percent air-to-surface missiles and precision-guided bombs. This should be the most basic military common sense, and the so-called "air defense and air defense, ten defenses and nine air defenses" still have a certain amount of truth to this day.

In air-to-ground strikes and anti-air defenses, the attacking side remains in an extremely active state; And the anti-air defense side is still in an extremely disadvantageous situation. Countless wars around the world, in fact, have already given a real answer.

The domestic "red wine" mentioned by netizens is naturally the famous Hongqi-9 air defense missile. It is a third-generation medium-high altitude long-range air defense missile made in China, and its technology has been iteratively upgraded from the basic type of Hongqi-9 to Hongqi-9B and Hongqi-9C.

Hongqi-9 has a maneuverability of 22G, a flight speed of Mach 6, a maximum altitude of 18,000 meters, and a maximum range of 125 kilometers. The minimum launch height against cruise missiles is 25 meters, and the interception distance is 7-15 kilometers; For ballistic missiles the interception altitude is 2000-15000 meters, the interception distance is 7-25 kilometers.

Hongqi-9B, an active phased array radar with a detection range of more than 250 kilometers and a coverage area of more than 200,000 square kilometers, is equivalent to a province in China. It can guide 16 missiles at the same time, intercept multiple high-speed, stealth targets, and have a strong firepower advantage in large-scale anti-air defense operations.

The flight speed is Mach 6, the maximum launch altitude is 30,000 meters, and the maximum range is 260 kilometers. An army ground-to-air missile battalion, equipped with eight Hongqi-9B launchers with a total of 64 missiles to be launched, greatly enhanced the firepower of anti-aircraft defenses.

The Hongqi-9C is the Hongqi-9 with a reduced bullet diameter, and the size has been significantly reduced compared to the previous Hongqi-9 version. One launcher can carry eight bombs to be launched, which shows that more attention is paid to the miniaturization of the missile body and the maneuverability of road and off-road in the design, which is conducive to field air defense operations.

The speed is Mach 6 and the maximum range is 120-150 km, which is approximately comparable to the maximum range of the basic version of the Hongqi-9. The launch of the Hongqi-9C pays more attention to the implementation of field air defense operations by the major group armies of the Chinese Army.

At the same time, the Hongqi-9C can meet the needs of the Chinese Navy's current Type 055 10,000-ton drive and Type 052D missile destroyers with HT-1 universal VLS devices, and can be used to intercept anti-ship missiles, cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, precision-made bombs, etc., with the storage and vertical launch of "1 pit 2 bombs" or even "1 pit 4 bombs", so as to improve the long-range anti-air defense performance of the Chinese Navy.

A military blogger said in a live broadcast and in some tweets on Chinese networks that China's self-developed "Red Wine" air defense system has shone in actual combat in the Middle East, successfully intercepting a staggering 70 incoming missiles in its debut, a feat that will rewrite the pattern of global air defense.

Guoping Vision believes that this is a statement that has not been confirmed by authoritative media. The performance of the Hongqi-9 anti-aircraft defense system, even though it ranks first in the world, is difficult to intercept 100 percent of air-to-ground missiles and precision-guided bombs.

One thing is for sure, the participation of "red wine" in Syria's air defense is probably not groundless. After the test of actual combat, there is no shortage of "princes" in the Middle East, who have a lot of dollars and euros, and the renminbi are very likely to purchase equipment and "red wine" from the Dragon Kingdom to protect their oil fields and natural gas wells.

This is the lifeblood of their economy, and against the backdrop of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the Lebanese-Israeli conflict, and the Israeli-Iraqi conflict, which may lead to a major war in the Middle East, there is no room for negligence in oil fields and natural gas wells.

At the time, Saudi Arabia was also the commander-in-chief of a coalition of Gulf states and participated in military strikes against the Houthis in Yemen. The Houthis once launched a drone attack on Aramco, the largest oil field in Saudi Arabia. The "Patriot" air defense missile system, which Saudi Arabia spent a lot of dollars to purchase equipment, dropped its chain at a critical moment, and did not react in the slightest.

I could only watch the drones launched by the Houthis, as if they were in a no-man's land, and the Aramco oil fields and refineries were hit by the Houthi drones, and the flames burned for a long time and could not be extinguished. Saudi Arabia lost nearly half of its oil exports in a short period of time, suffering significant economic losses.
