Just as the Huang Fang helicopter was tracking the Red Fang Zhi 9C in an attempt to find out its formation, several bright spots suddenly appeared on the airborne radar screen.
"missile!"
The co-pilot was the first to scream.
The other party finally took action.
The crew on the helicopter suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
Although we already knew that this tracking would lead to no return, everyone was determined to "die".
But when I saw the missile coming, I still couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine.
The onboard computer immediately began calculating the trajectory of the incoming missile.
Data shows that these missiles are not supersonic, but subsonic.
The pilot immediately realized that this was not an anti-aircraft missile!
In other words, the target of these missiles is not ourselves at all!
Generally speaking, since anti-aircraft missiles are aimed at aircraft, they are all supersonic missiles. The speed of many anti-aircraft missiles is above Mach 3. Otherwise, when encountering a fighter jet that frequently reaches Mach 2 or above with afterburner, it will not be enough to look at. You can only
Watching the plane fly away.
"This is an anti-ship missile!"
The pilot immediately made his own judgment.
"Call Ship No. 1, the enemy has launched anti-ship missiles at our formation, direction: southwest, distance: 231, please pay attention! Please pay attention!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the missile had arrived.
Several missiles flew across the sea below the helicopter like petrels, flying close to the water in the direction of Xianlai Island.
"It's YJ-83!"
The pilots had already recognized from the flight characteristics that the missile flying towards the yellow destroyer formation was the famous YJ-83 subsonic anti-ship missile of the red side.
YJ-83 anti-ship missile, also known as C-803 anti-ship missile, is a low-supersonic sea-skimming anti-ship missile, known as the "sea butcher". It was developed by the Red Square Coastal Defense Missile Research Institute before the 1999 military parade.
It was a success and was officially unveiled in person during the military parade.
This missile has a launch weight of 895kg, a range of 285km, a not outstanding cruising speed of only Mach 0.9, and uses radar active guidance. The missile has a flight altitude of 20-30 meters during the cruise phase and a flight altitude of 5-7 meters when approaching the target.
In the terminal attack stage of 20-30 kilometers away from the target, the missile will accelerate to Mach 1.3~1.5 and conduct the final penetration attack in supersonic mode.
The YJ-83 anti-ship missile was put into service with the People's Navy in large quantities in 1999. It carried a 190kg semi-armor-piercing high-explosive warhead. The C802 model, which was exported in larger quantities, was a star weapon at the time and had many brilliant achievements in the world.
However, since the Navy now has more advanced anti-ship missiles such as YJ-12 and YJ-18, the YJ-83 is still out of date. It is slightly insufficient in terms of range, speed, guidance and anti-jamming. The former
Xiao Tiantian has no choice but to become Mrs. Niu now.
However, the sudden and dense appearance without any warning still surprised the blue side.
The SH-60 helicopter immediately transmitted the early warning back to the Fourth Destroyer Group, and launched an air defense warning for the entire fleet of flagship King Kong-class destroyers.
However, less than ten seconds after the first batch of missiles passed, the radar on the SH-60 helicopter detected the appearance of eight more YJ-83 missiles.
The Huangfang crew member on the helicopter immediately issued an early warning to the formation.
"...8 more YJ-83 anti-ship missiles were discovered, pay attention to intercept them!"
However, just as he finished speaking, another batch of missiles appeared on the radar screen.
The two pilots watched the missiles passing by the sea below them one after another but could do nothing. It was such a desperate feeling.
Although it is not the most advanced anti-ship missile of the red side, with such multiple batches and multiple saturation attacks, even a shield ship like the King Kong class would be difficult to parry at such a close range.
"Where are their formations?!"
On the helicopter, the pilot turned back and yelled at the anti-submarine crew members in the cabin.
"Find them out!"
At the same time, an early warning helicopter dispatched by Huang Fang's Fourth Destroyer Detachment north of Xianlai Island finally found some clues based on the trajectory and direction of the missile's attack - the missile's launch point and infrared source were located about a month to the southwest.
Among a group of fishing boats and cargo ships more than a hundred kilometers away.
These fishing boats and cargo ships have been detected by radars and early warning helicopters on ships before, but because the reflection area is too small and their characteristics are very similar to civilian fishing boats and small cargo ships, they do not look like military ships at all, so there are not too many 61s.
At this time, based on the analysis of the launched missiles and heat sources, the YJ-83 missiles launched towards the friendly ship formation should be an attack formation composed of a 056A stealth frigate and several Type 022 stealth missile boats.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with Huang Fang's analysis.
This is a formation composed of one 056A frigate and four Type 022 stealth missile boats.
This formation was the first attack fleet sent by Li Zheng to support after the firefight on Xianlai Island.
Li Zheng ordered them to rush to the rescue at all costs according to the plan. They should rely on their excellent stealth and the cover of fishing boats in the surrounding waters to approach Huang Fang's surface ships, and then seize the opportunity to launch an attack.
Obviously, this trick works very well.
This small formation did not reveal its target until it entered the shooting range, and launched an attack on Huang Fang very unexpectedly.
At this time, Huang Fang realized that he had been waiting for a long time as if he were facing a formidable enemy. In fact, what the Red Fang sent over was just a missile boat force.
And that Z-9C is also the standard ship-borne helicopter of the 056A frigate!
All the mysteries seem to be solved.
But it seems that everything came a little late.
The 056A light frigate is a new generation of multi-purpose light frigate launched in 2013. It adopts an advanced stealth design. There is a huge equipment delivery hatch at the stern of the ship, which can launch towed sonar for anti-submarine warfare.
This type of ship has a full load displacement of 1,400 tons and a maximum speed of 28 knots. Its main anti-ship weapon is 4 YJ-83 anti-ship missiles. In the Red Navy sequence, frigates like the 056A are responsible for offshore defense operations and
For anti-submarine work and daily patrol missions, this is not a long-distance combat ship.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Because of this, using it with a light stealth missile boat like the 022 to form a formation, and using it as the flagship, it can play a role in offshore defense operations.
Wonderful effect.
The matching 022 missile speedboat is also a very unique ship.
Speaking of this ship is simply a bitter history.
It was also a helpless choice made when the red side was weak.
It is against this background that in order to make up for the lack of maritime combat power, the Red Army specially developed the 022 missile boat.
The 022 missile boat is a small speedboat. It has a displacement of only 220 tons. It is a little brother in front of other types of ships whose displacement is often calculated in thousands of tons. The total length of the hull is 42 meters, but its speed is amazing and it can be used on the sea.
Sailing at 50 knots.
So, can this thing be used against aircraft mothers?
The answer is yes.
But it must be in offshore waters, and the wolf pack tactics must be adopted, defeating the few with more, exchanging lives for lives, and the ants will kill the elephant to death.
The so-called sadness is here.
This kind of speedboat is specially designed to carry JY-83 anti-ship missiles, which can carry out powerful fire strikes against the enemy.
Of course, anti-ship missiles alone are not enough. Yingjiang's Aegis combat system is so powerful that it does not give our missiles a chance to hit it.
At this time, it is necessary to use the 022 missile boat to rely on its strong maneuverability to launch within the combat range of the Yingjiang aircraft carrier, thereby reducing the chance of the enemy's interception system reacting.
However, once it goes deep into the combat range of the enemy aircraft carrier, it will be hit by firepower from carrier-based aircraft and missiles. No matter how maneuverable it is, it is estimated that there will be no return.
Therefore, the 022 missile boat is also called a suicide ship. It is a symbol of the brave spirit of our predecessors who risked their lives in the backward era.
Li Zheng took this into consideration when he was studying the combat plan. During the firefight in the direction of Xianlai Island, he did not use the destroyer formation to engage in firefights with Huang Fang. Instead, he used the aircraft carrier formation in the B theater to deploy.
They looked like they were going south desperately to confuse the blue command, but in fact they had already ordered the 022 missile boat formation in the D theater to secretly take advantage of the small size, high stealth and fast speed of the 056A and 022 ships.
He used fishing boats and cargo ships on the sea to confuse Huang Fang's judgment, sneaked directly to the sea less than a hundred kilometers away from Xianlai Island, and seized the opportunity to attack decisively.
This style of play surprised Wen Zhaohui, who was far away in the command post of the Blue Army Joint Staff Headquarters!
No matter how hard it is, I still can’t count the fox Li Zheng!
