In the flagship of the Kongo-class destroyer detachment, the captain had already urgently ordered the ship to maneuver toward the Okinori Island base at full speed.
Although we know that a destroyer cannot escape the YJ-91 supersonic anti-ship missile strike circle at a speed of 30 knots, maneuvering is better than not maneuvering, and is better than nothing.
Sure enough, the YJ-91 supersonic anti-ship missile finally appeared on the radar screen after entering a range of 40 kilometers.
The air defense interception systems on the four destroyers were immediately activated.
In the dark night, explosions from interceptor missiles dotted the dull sky.
The YJ-91 anti-ship missile really lived up to expectations.
Balls of fire began to erupt on the four ships of the 4th Destroyer Division.
Although the air defense network of the Aegis Aegis ship is quite impressive, facing such a large number of YJ-91s at such a close range, any Huang Fang crew member would be heartbroken.
Since the King Kong-class destroyers are only equipped with a small number of standard 2ER anti-aircraft missiles, these anti-aircraft missiles have a range of 240 kilometers and can pose a serious threat to J-15 fighter jets that launch anti-ship missiles.
Therefore, the J-15 fighter jets Li Zheng ordered to take off in the 001 aircraft carrier formation will choose to penetrate at low altitude.
Due to the curvature of the earth, the single-ship Burke 2A can only detect low-altitude targets at a distance of about 40 kilometers.
In this case, the J-15 can choose to mount the YJ91 anti-ship missile with a relatively short range but a relatively fast penetration speed and launch it at a distance of 80-100 kilometers.
16 J-15s can launch 64 YJ-91 anti-ship missiles. After a period of flight, when they are 40 kilometers away from the King Kong-class destroyer, the YJ-91 anti-ship missiles have accelerated to twice the speed of sound.
After discovering the incoming YJ91 anti-ship missile, the King Kong-class destroyer will quickly organize air defense operations.
However, air defense operations are a very complex process, which can be simplified and understood as a cycle. Each cycle includes target locking, missile launch and flight, confirmation of the interception effect, and entering the next cycle.
To intercept targets at different distances, the flight time of anti-aircraft missiles is different. It can be roughly simplified. It is believed that each round of interception takes an average of 15 seconds.
Calculated at a speed of 2 times the speed of sound, which is 680m/s, it takes a little more than a minute for the YJ91 to be discovered from a distance of 40 kilometers to hit the King Kong-class destroyer.
In other words, after discovering the YJ-91 anti-ship missile, the King Kong-class destroyer can conduct 4 rounds of interception before being hit.
So how many YJ-91s can be intercepted in each round of interception?
What's more, it's a King Kong-class formation that has already withstood a round of saturation attacks?
What's more, a formation with only two Kongang-class ships, plus two Flag Wind-class ships?
Whether it can be intercepted depends on the issue of fire channels. Although the King Kong class has upgraded its radar system with the help of Blue Team, even so, it can only have 6 fire channels, which means that each round of interception can only intercept 6 missiles.
YJ91 anti-ship missile.
Even though the interception accuracy of the King Kong-class destroyer is relatively high, due to the guidance principle of the semi-active air defense missile, the standard 2MR and ESSM missiles have high accuracy when intercepting such relatively close targets.
Even if 6 YJ-91 anti-ship missiles are intercepted in each round, after 4 rounds of interceptions, the King Kong-class destroyer can only intercept 24 YJ-91 anti-ship missiles, and there are still 40 that cannot be intercepted.
Of course, when the YJ-91 approaches, they still have the last line of defense, which is the "Hiram" close-in defense system. "Hiram" launches passively guided air defense missiles, and there is no fire channel problem.
However, the "Sealam" close-in defense system only has 11 rounds of ammunition ready, which means that even if each "Sealam" missile intercepts a YJ-91 anti-ship missile, there are still 29 YJ91 missiles that cannot be intercepted.
Considering electronic interference and the hit rate of YJ-91, at least 20 YJ-91s can break through the interception and hit the King Kong-class destroyer.
Judging from the damage capability of the YJ-91 anti-ship missile, only 10 missiles are enough to sink a 9,000-ton King Kong-class destroyer.
Li Zheng said that he could harvest three ships because two of them were Qifeng class.
Destroyers like the Qi Feng class are the old models of Huangwang destroyers. Wen Zhaohui took pictures of these outdated models with the purpose of exchanging small ones for big ones.
From Blue's standpoint, Yellow is a completely expendable force.
Why do you need such high attack power?
Are you going to rebel against me?
In the night sky, one YJ-91 has entered the terminal one after another. 40 kilometers does not give the King Kong class destroyers much time to react, let alone those of the Flag Wind class.
Even if the interception firepower of the entire formation is fully activated, it cannot prevent the YJ-92 from attacking at such a close range.
First, a Flagwind-class destroyer was finally attacked.
A YJ-91 directly hit the hull.
A few seconds later, the internal explosion caused by the penetration of the armor-piercing part made a muffled sound like a firecracker that was lit and covered with a lid.
Bang——
The ammunition exploded internally.
You can't even see much light.
In fact, the YJ-91 missile is an imitation of the Russian KH-31P missile. In the 1990s, the Red Army purchased the KH-31P missile from Russia and imitated the KH-31P missile with the help of Russia. The imitation was successful in 2007, and the missile was numbered YJ.
-91.
YJ-91 missiles are divided into two types: anti-radiation and anti-ship. The head structure varies with different missile models. The anti-radiation type is equipped with a passive radar seeker and anti-personnel blasting warhead on the head, and the anti-ship type has a head with
Active radar seeker and semi-armor-piercing warhead.
This time, all the YJ-91s launched by J15 are anti-ship models with armor-piercing warheads.
The explosion situation is not obvious, but it does not mean that the losses and losses are not serious.
The interior of the hit Flagwind-class destroyer had turned into a mess.
"...Water entered the power distribution room..."
"The torpedo room is flooded..."
Although the warhead only weighs more than 90 kilograms.
But just break the armor and break it.
boom--
A flag-class destroyer in the formation exploded a ball of fire from the middle of the hull, and the light of the fire illuminated the sky and the nearby sea area brightly.
The captain of the flagship King Kong class did not have time to care about other destroyers in the formation at this time.
Because the radar on the King Kong-class destroyer he is currently on has scanned at least six YJ-91 supersonic anti-ship missiles heading towards him.
There was no time to even send out a message of surrender. A YJ-91, which had broken through before all the anti-missile systems on the Kongg-class destroyer had time to react, penetrated directly into the hull.
Bang——
Thanks to the large tonnage and thick hull of the King Kong class.
This YJ-91 actually failed to penetrate the armor smoothly, but instead exploded into a huge fire on the right side of the ship. Even the commanders on the bridge were frightened.
A staff officer asked Wen Zhaohui bluntly.
"Chief, is it possible to return? Our current position is very dangerous."
Danger?
Of course it's dangerous.
If it wasn't dangerous, Wen Zhaohui wouldn't send Huang Fang's people.
Who cares about Huang Fang’s life or death?
No.
boom--
Another YJ-91 followed and hit the hull.
The violent shaking caused by the explosion made the captain himself unable to calm down.
He thought of the confrontation with the red side decades ago.
Maybe……
It's better to surrender than to be killed.
"captain!"
The staff officer of the King Kong-class formation finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"We're fucked!"
He didn't finish his words.
Another YJ-91 directly hit the bow of a Flag Wind-class destroyer.
It's all too late.
The captain of the King Kong-class destroyer watched helplessly as his colleague was cut into two pieces by another explosion.
at last……
A Flagwind-class destroyer was directly hit by YJ-91 anti-ship missiles that hit the ship one after another. All the crew members began to jump into the sea or rely on lifeboats to escape.
He couldn't help but relax a little.
Regardless of the situation of the Flagwind-class destroyers, our two Kongang-class destroyers have tried their best.
If you can't stop it, you can't stop it.
War is never about what you say.
"captain!"
One staff officer's eyes were a little red.
"We must send a rescue team to rescue people!"
Save people?
Heading to?
In fact, there is no need for the King Kong-class captain to restore the captain of the Flag Wind-class destroyer. He directly wants to use his authority to suppress these Huang Fang minions.
But before he could issue the command, another YJ-91 hit the hull of the King Kong class.
The violent explosion knocked the captain straight to the ground.
"Evacuate at full speed!"
Except for this kind of command that is better than nothing, no one believes that this is true.
die.
It is already destined.
boom--
The captain suddenly felt the surrounding temperature rise suddenly, and then in less than 0.001 seconds, he felt the scorching heat in the air.
Then, the entire front of the bridge was suddenly hit by a YJ-91, and the flames shot up into the sky in an instant...
