The news of successfully hitting the target came
Later, "1059" was named
"Dongfeng No. 1"
Become my country's first homemade ground-to-surface missile
From this day on
China’s history without missiles is over
From "Dongfeng", China is strong!
The launch of the "Dongfeng-1" missile went through a very difficult and tortuous process.
In October 1955, rocket technology expert Qian Xuesen broke through numerous obstacles and returned to the motherland from the United States.
Soon after, the
"Opinions on Establishing China's National Defense Aviation Industry"
drafted by him
was sent to Zhongnanhai.
In October 1956, my country's first missile research institution, the Fifth Research Institute of the Ministry of National Defense, was formally established, with Qian Xuesen as the dean.
At that time, New China was waiting to be flourished, and it was very difficult to develop sophisticated weapons.
Qian Xuesen compiled a basic textbook
"Introduction to Missiles"
, which inspired China's first generation of astronauts engaged in missile and rocket development.
In December 1957, my country began to imitate the Soviet P-2 short-range missile, and named the imitation model of the P-2 missile in our country "1059".
The goal set at that time was to
complete the imitation task by September 1959, and strive to test fire during the National Day in October, as a gift to the 10th anniversary of the founding of New China.
This is also the reason why the missile codename is "1059".
When the research mission entered the decisive stage, the Soviet Union unilaterally tore up the agreement.
The Soviet China-aided experts at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Gansu Province evacuated back to China in batches and took away all the teaching plans and technical materials.
Facing the extremely difficult situation, the vast number of scientific researchers faced the difficulties and tackled the difficulties.
On November 5, 1960, at the Jiuquan launch site, the "1059" missile stood upright on the launch site, ready to go!
At 9:02, a roar pierced the tranquility of the Gobi, and the
"Dongfeng No. 1" missile was successfully tested!
Marshal Nie Rongzhen, who presided over the launch, said happily: "Today, on the land of our motherland, we launched a missile produced by ourselves. This is an important turning point in the history of my country's military equipment!"
"Dongfeng Family" is constantly growing!
Over the past 60 years, the "Dongfeng Family" has continued to grow and become a symbol of my country's nuclear deterrent.
In 1984, at the military parade celebrating the 35th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China,
Dongfeng-3, Dongfeng-4, and Dongfeng-5 were
unveiled, unveiling the mystery of the "Dongfeng Family" for the first time.
In 1999, at the military parade celebrating the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China
,
the "Dongfeng" missile team composed of
Dongfeng-11, Dongfeng-15, Dongfeng-21, and Dongfeng-31
made their final appearance.
The debut of the
Dongfeng-31
missile shocked people.
In 2009, at a military parade celebrating the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the
Dongfeng-31A
ballistic missile made its debut.
In addition,
Dongfeng-11A, Dongfeng-15B, and Dongfeng-
21C all played.
In 2015, at the military parade commemorating the 70th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the
Dongfeng-5B improved, Dongfeng-16, Dongfeng-21D
and
Dongfeng-26
made their debut.
In 2019, at the military parade celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, China’s
new
intercontinental ballistic missile Dongfeng-41 and new tactical missile Dongfeng-17 were
unveiled, shocking the world.
The Dongfeng-17 missile
can perform precise strikes on medium and short-range targets without support and strong penetration at all times. It is a powerful weapon for a new generation of medium and short-range strike forces.
Unlike the conical warhead we are familiar with in the past, the warhead of the Dongfeng-17 has changed a lot, and four wings and tail fins have been "grown". The flight trajectory of the warhead is flexible and changeable, and the penetration ability is greatly enhanced.
Dongfeng-41
is a new generation of strategic nuclear missiles independently developed by China. It uses an information-based launch platform. It has the advantages of high degree of single-vehicle integration and complete launch system functions, especially in terms of penetration capability and strike capability. .
Dongfeng-41 is agile and maneuverable. It can drive in areas with harsh conditions such as plateaus, Gobi, snow, and deserts. It can even be launched without support on common highways and basketball courts.
60 years ago, "Dongfeng" started
60 years later, "Dongfeng" is strong
"Dongfeng Express, the mission must be reached"
