What the Navy looks forward to most is long-range air defense.
The original 051 destroyer could only rely on double-barreled machine guns for air defense. It was of World War II level. Because of its weak air defense capabilities, even if it won a battle in the southern seas, it had to quickly grease its feet for fear of other people's planes coming over.
revenge.
Once upon a time, the Navy was interested in the sea javelin system on the Type 82 destroyer, but due to various reasons, it still did not introduce it.
At present, the Navy only has the self-developed Hongqi-61 and the imported Sea Sidewinder, which are already operational. However, these are missiles with a range of about ten kilometers. They are the last layer of point defense. Once they are not intercepted, the consequences can be imagined.
Know.
The Navy is most looking forward to the regional air defense system.
Therefore, when Qin Tao put forward this suggestion, it aroused the interest of the navy leaders. However, it was oral at the time, but now it has been implemented into specific drawings.
However, this looks a bit strange.
"Here, I will focus on introducing our air defense system to you." As for the single-barreled 130mm naval gun on the bow of the ship and the close-in defense guns, we put them aside and focus on the most important ones first!
"This system uses the famous Reeve-. Since its launch tube is more than eight meters long, we can only choose a place where the warship can insert it into the bottom. At the front end, the two on the front of the bridge
Two are arranged on the upper deck, and four are arranged on the hangar at the rear of the warship, each with eight launch tubes. After our improvement, it does not need to rotate like a revolver, and each launch tube can be fired directly. In this way
, a warship possesses 48 area air defense missiles.”
"Its radar is placed at the top of the original hangar. In this way, when unfolded backward, it can search a 120-degree area. If it follows the standard of the PU model exported by Lao Maozi, this phased array radar can have three
A distance of 100 kilometers, guide missiles with a range of about 100 kilometers, and conduct interception operations."
On this slide, Qin Tao drew a perspective view, so the various structures can be roughly seen.
It is purely for air defense operations, so that it ignores various other things.
"President Qin, you are really imaginative." Ma Guoqiang, who returned to his seat, spoke: "Your plan is completely based on the assumption that Lao Maozi will sell us an advanced air defense missile system and pin the hope of the navy on
Such a hypothesis is ridiculous, ridiculous!”
"Fantasy? Hypothesis?" Qin Tao glanced at Ma Guoqiang: "I don't even dare to think about it, how can I have any foresight? Su-27, did Lao Maozi sell it to us? Advanced gas turbines, did we also pass the secret
Have you got the channel?"
"But I know that Mr. Wu led a team to purchase S-300 last year, but failed in the end. Mr. Wu was only willing to sell their backward models to us. Mr. Wu, is this the case?" Ma Guoqiang said, turning to look.
To Mr. Wu.
Mr. Wu smiled bitterly and nodded.
"Everyone, Lao Maozi has rejected us, but the far-sighted President Qin is still assuming that the weapon system that Lao Maozi has rejected us will be used to support the navy with a regional air defense firepower network. Isn't this ridiculous?"
"Lao Maozi refused once, but the international situation is changing rapidly. Who can say for sure? What if Lao Maozi changes his mind again? We have been at odds with Lao Maozi for so many years, and haven't our relations now eased?"
"No matter how gentle the situation is, it is impossible for Lao Maozi to sell us their magic weapon!" Ma Guoqiang continued to insist.
In his eyes, Qin Tao's plan was too ridiculous.
"Really?" Qin Tao asked: "Then should we contact the Air Force and ask them about the progress of their S-300 procurement?"
"Okay, ask, if Lao Maozi can agree, then my name, Ma Guoqiang, will be yours!"
There was a phone next to the slide projector. Qin Tao picked it up, called the phone over there, and then pressed the playback button.
"What? Are you asking us about the procurement of the S-300 project? Lao Maozi has already relented and promised to export the S-300pu missile to us. Specific negotiations may take several months until the Su-27 project is fully negotiated.
Let’s talk after we get down.”
The voice spread throughout the conference room, and Ma Guoqiang's expression turned ugly: "Impossible, how is this possible?"
"It was Mr. Lin's voice just now. You should be able to recognize it, right?" Qin Tao said: "So, Director Ma, forget about changing your surname. You still have to dare to think when you do things. If you are complacent, how can you move forward?
Woolen cloth?"
Ma Guoqiang's mind was completely confused. He did not expect that Lao Maozi would actually agree! If the Air Force could purchase it, then it would be no problem for the Navy to purchase two sets and install them on its own warships.
"No, no, there is something wrong with the design of your destroyer." Ma Guoqiang thought of something and started to retort again: "You don't have a helicopter hangar, and you don't even have enough anti-ship missiles!"
"As I said just now, we are an air defense destroyer. We are only responsible for air defense. We have reserved a helicopter deck. If necessary, helicopters can still be docked."
"It seems like your radar can't rotate, right? At sea, you must have omnidirectional air defense capabilities. You can't just transplant the system on land like this!"
"We are not going to fight in the Pacific. We are just wandering around in our own waters. As long as the butt of the warship faces the outside, it will be fine, right?"
"Yours…"
"Director Ma, since you said so, I would like to express my opinion on your 051b project just now." Qin Tao said: "Your warship has not been improved in any way. It is the same as the 052 destroyer.
, so it’s just a waste. It’s just standing still!”
"you…"
"Okay, stop arguing. Now, we already have two destroyers here, the 051c, which is specialized in air defense, and the 051b, which is a general-purpose destroyer. You can all speak freely and express your opinions." Wu Shengli said above.
"Um, leader, I haven't finished the introduction yet. Can you wait for me to introduce the rest?" Qin Tao looked at Wu Shengli.
"Okay, then you go on. Others, please don't interrupt his introduction for the time being. We can discuss it later after the introduction is completed."
"Here on the rear mast, we are going to install a roof radar." Qin Tao continued to introduce.
At this time, everyone turned their attention to the rear mast. Sure enough, there was a strange radar there.
"Is this Lao Maozi's r710 three-coordinate radar?" Mr. Ben, as an authority in the field of radar, recognized it first.
"That's right, it's this radar. Lao Maozi codenamed it Fregate. I called it the top plate based on its appearance characteristics. This radar is also an important air search radar that we need to introduce and digest technology.
.”
In later generations, domestic warships, whether they are frigates, destroyers, or even aircraft carriers, will have two flat plates placed back to back and tilted on the mast, which are used as the main force for air search. This is the famous roof radar among military fans.
.
This kind of radar was born in 1977 by Lao Maozi's Salyut Design Bureau (from Baidu, I don't know whether it is true or not, it seems that the Salyut Design Bureau is not engaged in radar)), Leonid Alexey Rodionov Glorious
He became the chief designer.
This radar was not a flat panel at the beginning. The first generation was named "Top Sail". It used dual back-connected antennas, one of which was a semi-cylindrical 3D antenna, and the back was a parabolic 2D antenna, of which the 2D antenna
Responsible for mid- and long-range air search, and the 3D antenna is responsible for mid- and short-range detection and tracking;
Later, this radar developed into the second generation "plate rudder". The semi-cylindrical 3D reflection antenna became a flat-panel antenna. The parabolic 2D antenna was still connected to the back. The flat-panel antenna was installed at an angle. The advantage of this is that it can
Let the radar beam scan the surrounding airspace diagonally.
Later, in the third generation, which is what is used now, the 2D parabolic antenna at the back was replaced with a smaller flat panel antenna, so that the entire antenna group became two flat panel antennas installed obliquely.
Some people call this flat-panel antenna a phased array radar. In fact, it has nothing to do with a phased array. If it were a phased array, there would be no need to turn it around.
This kind of antenna is a dual-band waveguide slot antenna, similar to the flat-plate slot radar antenna used on fighter jets.
The performance of this kind of radar is good, so Qin Tao brought it over. It will be used in the future anyway, so he might as well stick it here.
"Do you want to introduce it from Lao Maozi? Hum, how much will it cost?" Ma Guoqiang continued to hum, but because Wu Shengli had already said it, his voice was very low and did not interrupt Qin Tao's introduction.
"For the short-range defense system, we use four AK630 naval guns. This naval gun has been used on our missile boats and its performance is not bad." Qin Tao continued to introduce: "As for the naval gun in front, what I am drawing now is
Since this kind of single-barreled 130mm naval gun has not yet appeared, it may be replaced by the existing 100mm naval gun when it is officially installed. However, I personally suggest that our country should use 130mm naval guns.
Cannons are developed as a key project so that they can be worthy of our seven to eight thousand ton warships."
In this way, Qin Tao explained the general idea of his warship design.
"Although we are developing our own Aegis system, we will definitely encounter many difficulties. Before the warship equipped with the Aegis system is put into service, the warship we designed should be able to respond to our urgent air defense problems in an emergency. Although it is
Transitional warships, but the significance of their existence is significant. Especially, if deployed to the Bohai Sea, they can better protect the security of our capital."
The leaders of the Navy were bursting with excitement.
Among the three major fleets, the one that the navy values most is of course the North Sea Fleet. This fleet is responsible for the important task of guarding the capital. Even during the Qing government, the Beiyang Navy was the most powerful.
If we get these two warships to cruise in the Bohai Sea, we can effectively expand the capital's defense circle.
Thinking of this, the leader of the Navy almost spoke in support.
Qin Tao finished speaking.
"Everyone, do you have any new design plans?" Wu Shengli asked.
No one answered.
In other words, the next order for the navy's two main destroyers will be decided based on the bids from these two factories.
Which one to choose?
Anyone with eyesight can see it.
"Dear leaders, their 051c warships completely rely on foreign technical strength. They need to purchase a large amount of equipment and spend huge sums of money, so..." Ma Guoqiang wanted to say something dissatisfied, but before he could finish speaking, he saw
The people around him looked at him with meaningful eyes.
Ma Guoqiang almost always speaks ill of 051c, but everyone is extremely supportive of 051c!
"If we want to build something, let's build something that is truly useful to the navy, not a useless product." Qin Tao said: "It must be able to solve the navy's imminent problems."
"Dear leaders, our products are not useless!" Ma Guoqiang was worried.
"President Qin is right. What our navy urgently needs is air defense ships. If we can solve the problem of regional air defense, even if it is only of a transitional nature, it will be very important to us." A naval leader spoke.
"I also think that it does not make much sense to build warships with similar weapons and equipment to the 052. The equipment on the 052 can be transferred to our frigates."
A number of naval leaders have expressed their views.
Wu Shengli was very satisfied. Just as he was about to make a concluding remarks, another person spoke up.
"Right now, the introduction of the S-300 has not officially started. If we put all our money on the 051c project now, is it a bit too hasty? After all, we can only rest assured when we have the things in hand."
When the leader said this, the people present also agreed. Yes, there is a risk in this. What if the old man suddenly changes his mind and doesn't sell it?
"At today's meeting, we were unable to decide on the next two destroyers. I suggest that we postpone it temporarily and wait for news from the Air Force. If S-300 missiles are imported, then we will consider building anti-aircraft destroyers. If imported
If it fails, how about we build a universal destroyer?"
"Leaders, there should be a time limit. If the negotiations there don't start for a long time, do we have to keep waiting?" Ma Guoqiang spoke.
"Then let's take a two-year period." Wu Shengli said: "By then, the construction of our 052 destroyer will be almost completed, and we will just consider the construction of new destroyers."
Two years is definitely not a short time! Ma Guoqiang was a little dissatisfied. He originally wanted to say half a year, but seeing that the leaders who supported him did not raise objections at this time, he could only bow his head and admit it.
Qin Tao didn't even expect to win the order for the destroyer at today's meeting. After all, his plan really had some risks. If he couldn't import it from Lao Maozi, it would be troublesome.
However, two years is enough, and with these two years, their own design unit of Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group will be able to take the lead. By then, in their own unit
Design, people from other shipyards, don't get the design drawings, there is no way to copy them!
