Chapter 1,246 Four Sunburning Missiles Fired in a Volley
This is also the only improvement of the Rizhi anti-ship missile.
Using a specialized over-the-horizon radar on the modern class, it can detect maritime targets a hundred kilometers away and inject data into the Sunburn anti-ship missile to meet the launch needs of the missile.
However, over-the-horizon radar does not work normally all the time, and it has a lot to do with climatic conditions. If it cannot detect long-distance targets, how can the missile attack?
Therefore, the missile must be equipped with a data link, and the Ka-27 helicopter will guide the attack when necessary. However, according to Lao Maozi's character, it is impossible to tell the Easterners these secrets, which means that the Easterners have already
After cracking the weapon system of Lao Maozi, you can freely modify the configuration of these weapons!
That's logical. After all, Dongfang's warships use many imitation systems of Lao Maozi, from roof radars to band radars. Since they can be imitated, of course they can be fully understood. Lao Maozi's missile technology has long been copied.
Only after you understand it thoroughly can you improve.
"For tomorrow's exercise, all target data will be commanded by the Air Police-500 in the sky." Qin Tao said: "The target data will also be provided by the Air Police-500. After all, we can't let Ah San laugh.
"
Ah San made a big joke. The range is 300 and the error is 50. Even Scud would be embarrassed. Of course, Dongfang’s technology cannot have any accidents. This kind of missile can be guided by the Air Police-500 through the data link. If there is an emergency
Depending on the situation, you can also send a self-destruct command at any time.
With the rapid development of Oriental AWACS technology, a large number of different types of AWACS were soon launched, including large-platform strategic AWACS, medium-platform tactical AWACS, balance beams, and rotating radars, as well as C-130 improvements that were given to big players.
Lao Ba naturally became interested in becoming an early warning aircraft. After some comparison, he chose the Kongjing-500, which is an advanced tactical early warning aircraft improved on the Yunba platform.
In this exercise, the early warning aircraft is also the focus. It is not only responsible for monitoring the entire exercise process, but also for guiding the missile. After all, the Sunburn missile is so old that even the Americans have bought it and may have mastered the technology of the missile.
If an accident does occur, it is also convenient for cheating.
Salman received Qin Tao's promise, went back to sleep with satisfaction, and waited for the next morning to arrive at the naval command hall.
This was Qin Tao's first visit to the command center of the Laoba Navy. When he arrived here, he had the illusion that he had arrived at the Space Launch Center. The huge screen in the front was so impressive.
At this time, the nearby terrain and sea charts were displayed on the screen. There was a bright spot moving slowly, which was the destroyer performing the exercise mission. There were also three high-speed moving targets, including early warning aircraft and two aircraft hovering in the sky.
Escort aircraft.
There are many operating stations below, and many people are working nervously.
"It's a pity that I can't get on a plane or a warship, so I can only watch it here." Qin Tao sighed with emotion.
"Mr. Qin, this is the most intuitive and beautiful place. By the way, let me introduce to you. Our command hall is quite advanced. It uses a supercomputer composed of hundreds of Loongson processors, which is enough to command a battle.
A large-scale naval battle." Mahmoud introduced.
Modern battlefields are changing rapidly. Although the human factor is still the most important, various countries are developing advanced automated command systems that can use computers to determine various opportunities. The strength of computer performance will also affect the determination of results.
Qin Tao has only been exposed to warship command systems. He only needs to command one warship. The complexity cannot be compared with what he is seeing. However, he knows that with the strength of Loongson, it will promote the development of many industries, such as weather forecasting, such as
Nuclear weapons simulation, such as the judgment of the combat command system is more accurate.
The strength of a country is not the strength of one or two fields, but the strength of all fields.
"The early warning aircraft reported that three new targets were discovered three hundred kilometers away, one of which has strong electromagnetic radiation."
"Watch closely." Mahmoud gave the order. He knew that it was Asan who came to observe.
Ah San was very depressed. After all, he had just made a fool of himself, and now Lao Ba was holding a drill again. It was obviously just to slap him in the face. However, they had no other way. They had no right to interfere with Lao Ba's drills. What's more, Lao Ba was
Behind Ba is the whole world of a piece of cloth above the head.
They can only come over and see how this exercise goes. It is best if the anti-ship missile misses the target, or even hits the warship and kills the Jubail-class destroyer!
On the early warning aircraft, Asan's radar officers looked serious, and there were also many people crowded in the command hall at the rear.
"If there was only one, they might still be able to intercept it, but they are so arrogant that they actually fired four in a salvo. They will definitely not be able to intercept it!" Mukherjie said.
"They use the Sunburn anti-ship missile, which has a maximum speed of only Mach 2.3. Even if they can intercept this anti-ship missile, it does not mean that they can intercept our BrahMos anti-ship missile. Our missile has a maximum speed of Mach 2.3.
Mach!" Pi Lai said.
The faster the missile, the more difficult it is to intercept. Therefore, Pi Lai's meaning is also very simple. Even if this kind of interception is successful, it will not count!
"What about our electronic jammers? If we deploy an electronic jammer to interfere with their radar signals, will it cause them to accidentally attack?" Sunil gritted his teeth.
"No, we can't do that. If they accidentally smash the warship, they have nothing to say. If the warship is sunk under our interference, the big dogs will come to trouble us."
Sunil was helpless.
If the warship belonged to Lao Ba, they might have really done that. After all, it’s not like they haven’t done it before, but it’s different now! The warship belongs to a big dog, and if it is sunk by them, the big dog will take the United Nations with them.
The fleet came over, with three main aircraft carriers and amphibious ships, and a large number of stealth carrier-based aircraft, plus escorting so many warships, they really had no confidence in dealing with them.
Just watch it!
There were many spectators, and planes carrying large plates also came to join in the fun.
"All the spectators are here." Qin Tao said: "Is it time for our interception experiment to begin?"
"Call the Onaizai," Mahmoud ordered.
"The Onaizai replied that it has made all preparations!"
"Call the shore-to-ship missile force."
"Shore-to-ship missiles are also ready!"
"Attention, it will officially start in three minutes!"
"clear!"
The countdown to the exercise has officially begun!
Asan's BrahMos anti-ship missile was so powerful that it completely sank the tugboat. No one on board could escape. Even if someone jumped off in advance, they were caught in the whirlpool of the tugboat sinking.
, ultimately leading to the loss of all lives.
Now, if the Aegis battleship is going to conduct an interception experiment, will a tragedy also happen?
The eyes of the whole world are watching, and the Onaizai, which is responsible for this exercise, is also in high tension.
All four phased array radars were turned on, and the radar on top of the warship was also rapidly rotating and searching.
The Aegis battleship has excellent air defense interception capabilities by using a four-sided phased array radar. However, because the four-sided phased array radar is installed too low, it is not easy to detect ultra-low-altitude flying targets.
The British are very sensitive to ultra-low-altitude anti-ship missiles, so their Type 45 destroyers carry a big ball high above their heads in order to detect incoming anti-ship missiles as early as possible, but this layout
It is not suitable. The center of gravity of the warship is too high and it is easy to capsize.
The plan for the Eastern Aegis battleship is to add a low-altitude blind-filling radar on the top of the bridge. Previously, the 364 radar was used to not only search the sea surface, but also to guide the 730 close-in defense gun.
Later, with the advancement of domestic radar technology, the original parabolic antenna radar became obsolete, and was replaced by the more advanced 368 radar with active phase control system. This radar enhanced the search capability for sea-skimming targets, even if
It is a target with a radar reflection area of only 0.1 square meters, and can also have a maximum search distance of 36 kilometers.
No matter how powerful the BrahMos anti-ship missile Asan brags about, it can be discovered as long as it appears from the water antenna.
Of course, no matter what, we cannot escape from the basic laws of nature. Anti-ship missiles below the waterline cannot be detected. However, it does not matter, there are early warning aircraft!
A Z-18 carrier-based early warning helicopter flew into the sky and began to perform low-altitude blind-filling operations. With its existence, the fleet will be safer! At first, big companies also took a fancy to it and purchased a batch.
"The ship-based early warning aircraft has taken off!"
"Attention, the exercise countdown is one minute!"
A shore-to-ship missile launch site appeared on the big screen. The four launch tubes had been opened and the rear area had been cleared, ready for launch at any time.
One minute was short, and soon the commander of the missile troops shouted loudly.
"emission!"
Blazing flames emerged from the mouth of the launch tube, followed by a pointed anti-ship missile exposed from the launch tube, followed by a thick body, just like a big-haired old lady who got out of shape after getting married.
Followed by the rear half of the projectile, the air intakes wrapped on all four sides make it appear more rugged and plump.
The entire missile body was exposed, the wings of the missile were opened, and the tail of the missile was dragging flames as it flew forward.
After the anti-ship missile left the launch tube, the second anti-ship missile also flew out.
Whoosh, whoosh!
After an interval of one second, all four anti-ship missiles left the launcher!
The entire scene was shrouded in flames, as if it were a hell, and the white smoke filled the air, making it difficult to see the situation at the launch site. Lao Maozi's anti-ship missiles were so powerful!
A few seconds later, the missile dropped its booster, the main engine ignited, and the missile continued to accelerate, quickly reaching its maximum speed of Mach 2.3.
The biggest advantage of supersonic anti-ship missiles is their speed! Mach 2.3, which is a speed of nearly 800 meters per second, can attack a warship 100 kilometers away in less than two minutes!
"Sure enough, there are really four. They acted as if they were really playing a saturation attack." Sunil said disdainfully: "Humph, next time we exercise, we will also fire four, no, eight at a time."
"Three at low altitude and one at high altitude. This is simply cheating." Mukherjie said: "If it was a real attack, it would definitely be flying at super low altitude throughout the whole process!"
However, the Americans who saw this situation at the same time had very serious faces.
"This should be the pilot bomb function. It is the same as Lao Maozi's tactics. When necessary, the formation flight function will be launched. One of them will fly at high altitude as the pilot bomb, and the rest will fly at low altitude to covertly engage the enemy. However, this is nothing special.
During a war, we will keep early warning aircraft in the sky at all times and will never miss these targets."
While speaking, the missile was also rapidly approaching the target, ninety kilometers, eighty kilometers...
"Attention, red flag nine missiles, two salvos!"
Bang, bang!
The Red Flag 9 missile opened its cover and flew into the sky. Then, a blazing flame suddenly appeared from behind its butt, and then accelerated upward.
The interception officially begins!
In the command hall of Laoba Navy, two bright spots appeared on the huge screen. Everyone held their breath as they watched the bright spots pounce directly on the target in the sky.
The interception officially begins, and the first person to appear is Hongqijiu!
The so-called maximum range of missiles is a theoretical value, and actual interception depends on the situation. Among them, air-to-air missiles have shrunk the most, with a maximum range of 70 kilometers. Pilots may have to launch at a distance of 30 kilometers to be confident, which is reduced by half.
It's more, and it would be even worse if it were to be chased from behind. Maybe it would have to be launched at a distance of twenty kilometers to be sure.
As for surface-to-air and ship-to-air missiles, the reduction is about half. The announced range of the Hongqi-9 missile is 120 kilometers. In fact, it is appropriate to intercept targets at 60 kilometers. Now facing targets flying at high speed,
The interception time has been advanced to 80 kilometers, and more interception opportunities can be obtained.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this moment, all the audience held their breath. Can the interception be successful?
It is easiest to intercept targets flying at high altitudes without large overload maneuvers. After all, this is equivalent to intercepting a supersonic bomber, and many missiles can do it.
The interceptor missile continued to fly forward, quickly approaching the high-altitude target, and when it was about to reach the intersection, the interceptor bomb began to detonate.
boom!
"Target disappeared! Interception successful!"
The second Hongqi-9 missile chose to self-destruct at the end of its trajectory and was of no use. The first missile was successful and successfully intercepted the target!
"Hmph, it's nothing special. This technology is not difficult at all. The missiles we have can also do it." Sunil said disdainfully.
"Yes, this is clearly a performance without any technical content!"
Ah San dismissed this.
What about the three anti-ship missiles below? Will another one fly up?
Just as the first missile was intercepted, the voice of command sounded again on the Onaizai.
"Attention, prepare to launch Red Flag Sixteen!"
The incoming missiles are still flying fast and are about to fly over the water antenna and be captured by their shipboard radar. They will also launch a second round of interception, this time using Red Flag Sixteen!
"Radar found target!"
"Moved into lockdown!"
"launch missile!"
Two flames suddenly appeared on the deck, as if there was a barbecue dinner on the deck. In the light of the fire, two red flags, one second apart, left the deck and flew into the sky!
Red Flag Nine is a cold launcher, which is ejected by high-pressure air and then ignited. Red Flag Sixteen is a thermal launcher, which relies on its own power to fly out of the launch tube and then continues flying into the sky.
On board the E-3 early warning aircraft.
"They launched two missiles again. This time the radar echo of the missile was smaller. It may not be Red Flag Nine."
"No, it must be Red Flag Nine. These two missiles are still flying at high altitudes, indicating that they are using active radar technology."
"As long as there is a data link, the trajectory can be modified."
The two radar officers argued endlessly about the missile model, each with their own reasons. In the end, the AWACS commander ended the argument: "The photos taken by the reconnaissance satellite showed that there were flames rising from the deck."
The Americans attach great importance to this exercise. They not only have early warning aircraft, but also have reconnaissance satellites to take high-definition photos from a long distance. As long as they see the flames on the deck, they can be sure that it is a thermal emission of Red Flag Sixteen.
"Okay, Red Flag Sixteen, but I'm still determined. This missile uses a brand new active seeker. Looking at its trajectory, it follows a perfect arc and dives down!"
At this time, in the command hall, Qin Tao was also introducing the new missile.
"We use the latest active/semi-active composite guidance system on this missile. This is the most advanced seeker method in the world. Currently, even the Americans don't have it, and we ourselves have no use for it. What we export to you is
State-of-the-art missiles.”
Early radar-guided missiles were guided by semi-active radars. The rear target illumination radar kept illuminating the target, and the reflected echo entered the missile warhead until it hit the target. This method has strong anti-interference ability, but it must be followed closely.
Target flies.
Later, with the development of radar miniaturization, the active seeker was installed into the warhead, and the missile could emit radar waves by itself and guide itself. In this way, the closer to the target, the stronger the signal reflection, which is exactly the opposite of semi-active.
So, can we combine the two?
This is not easy.
With both active and semi-active modes, the antenna must be improved into a dual-band common aperture antenna, and the subsequent signal processing system must also be integrated.
Everyone knows that this technology is advanced, but it is not easy to develop such an antenna. It not only tests the design, but also the processing, and even the programming.
Currently, only the East has this technology! The most advanced technology in the world is in the East!
Of course, this kind of missile is not equipped in China because the performance of the Hongqi-9 missile is first-rate and there is no need to bother with it. Moreover, the cost of this product is very high and it is not worth it.
As for the export to the big dog owners, the big dog owners don't care about the price, they only care about the performance, so of course they have to pick up the good ones and buy them. After hearing about the performance of this missile, the big dog owners immediately nodded in agreement.
Qin Tao just said a word and found that everyone seemed uninterested and were staring at the screen. They were about to collide. This time it was even harder because the target was flying at a very low altitude!
