The publication tried to figure out whether Chinese engineers really managed to overcome all technical problems that have long prevented the United States from getting "Railgan". China has been investing in the study of electromagnetic systems and electricity production for over 10 years. The difference between "Reilgana" and traditional artillery is that the speed of the shot can exceed 6 strokes. This is due to not powder gases, as in conventional guns, but due to electromagnetic action.
In addition, the reliefs should be more accurate, farm and cheaper than ordinary howitzers. Earlier, the United States was a leader in an electromagnetic weapon study, but in 2021 they closed the program and allocated more than $ 500 million. The reason for the closure is the rapid wear of the barrel. It comes in a shallowness after a few shots. The US Navy also changed priorities because the Zumwalt destroyer had to be armed at first.
Meanwhile, China stated that they had created a rail with a shot range from 100 to 200 km at a speed of 6 strokes. It is stated that weapons have received artificial intelligence elements from 100,000 sensors to detect and eliminate any problem for breakage. They were able to test 120 shells in a row without fail. If this is true, they write in the publication, it means that China has been able to solve problems with the wear of the barrel.
