This kind of long-distance sea-to-air search radar generally does not suffer from shrinkage in performance. It can detect warships a hundred kilometers away with certainty. After all, ordinary warships are very large, and the radar waves reflected back
There are also many.
But now, this target missile launcher can actually be hidden in radar searches, which means that in actual combat, this kind of ship can sneak up to a distance of thirty or forty kilometers from the target, and then launch an anti-ship missile attack!
When they thought of this, the people present became excited.
He is simply a sea killer!
Although the 022 missile boat is a ship of several hundred tons, due to its excellent appearance design, in front of the sea search radar of other warships, it is just like a small boat of several dozen tons, under the cover of waves.
, it can really become invisible thirty or forty kilometers away.
(I don’t know if this is an exaggeration. After all, it doesn’t have a stealth coating or anything like that. It just relies on its appearance to make it invisible.)
Of course, it is not omnipotent. The shape design with a large upward slope can certainly reflect the search radar waves of the opposing warships into the sky. However, if it is faced with helicopters or fixed-wing reconnaissance that searches the sea,
The machine doesn't have such good stealth capabilities.
In any case, the current stealth ability of this missile launcher in front of the radar has surprised the people of Siam.
"Found a bright spot!" At this moment, the radar soldier shouted loudly.
On the originally empty screen, a bright spot suddenly appeared, as if it appeared out of thin air. In fact, it was the target launcher launching a missile, revealing its whereabouts.
At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"The target is thirty kilometers away, and the location coordinates have been sent!"
"The data has been received, the fire control radar has entered the tracking state!" the radar soldier of the Beaver-II fire control radar shouted.
"Speed is Mach 0.9, height is 20 meters, distance is 27 kilometers!"
The speed of Mach 0.9 is about 300 meters per second, and it will fly three kilometers in ten seconds. Therefore, this kind of anti-ship missile interception at sea has always been calculated in seconds.
Everyone held their breath. There were still twenty-seven kilometers, which was ninety seconds, and they would fly over in one and a half minutes!
"The wave clutter is slightly larger, but the target can still be tracked stably!"
"Twenty kilometers away, the infrared tracking device is activated!"
"The infrared device has captured the target!"
Commands are coming one after another. For the operators of anti-aircraft missiles, they have practiced it many times. Although they are firing live ammunition now, they are just as serious and nervous as usual training.
On the bridge of the compass ship, everyone became nervous.
"Where, where?" cried LaCour.
"Sir Rakul, there is a line of white smoke on the sea in the distance, do you see it?"
White smoke?
LaCour put down the telescope, expanded the field of view once with the naked eye, and then put the telescope in front of his eyes again.
When the anti-ship missile is launched, thick smoke billows. Since it is launched from a ship and has no initial velocity, it needs to be attached with a booster stage. This booster rocket engine is powerful and has a thick flame, and the scattered white smoke is enough to blast the anti-ship missile.
The launching ship was packed.
However, during the normal flight phase, there is not much smoke at the tail of the missile.
Anti-ship missiles in normal flight consume internal solid propellant, which can be slowed down after careful modulation. This is different from air-to-air missiles. The solid motor of air-to-air missiles will burn out in a few seconds.
Push the missile to a certain speed, and then it will fly inertly. (I couldn't find the detailed information, so I don't know if it's correct.)
Therefore, the size of the smoke at the tail of the missile depends entirely on the quality of the engine. For domestically produced ones, the smoke is still slightly larger. If viewed from the air, it will definitely be very spectacular. You can see a white line dozens of kilometers long.
The smoke ribbon slowly spreads out.
Later, with the advancement of technology, anti-ship missiles began to use small turbine engines, and the white smoke at the tail was much smaller. It was not even visible. If the Tomahawk flew by dragging the white smoke, there would be no need for it in China.
As if facing a formidable enemy, we engage in a new three-on-three-defense approach.
"I saw it, I saw it, Chinese Flying Fish!" Rakul shouted loudly.
Qin Tao was very doubtful that this missile flying at Mach 0.9 could allow LaCour to see its appearance clearly. This is what high-speed cameras do. However, there is no problem with LaCour's praise. Our own Seahawk 8
The missile is very similar to the Exocet, and the target missile flying now is just a modified version of the live missile from the Seahawk 8.
In particular, the flight altitude is very low, almost touching the sea surface.
"The height has been reduced to five meters, and the distance is fifteen kilometers!" In the bridge, the radar soldier's voice was loud enough that everyone could hear it clearly.
"Transfer to the locking phase and prepare to launch missiles!"
"The fire control computer is calculating the probability of interception!"
"The distance is eight kilometers, the probability of interception is 90%, the missile is launched!"
Peng, Peng! There were two soft sounds, and the conical front cover of the missile launcher flew out. Then, at the tail of the launcher, the pressure of five million pascals generated by the ignition of the rocket engine blew the tail cover apart, and the debris flew everywhere.
Come on, blazing flames came out of the cylinder, and the entire launch tube was covered in white smoke.
(The top cap was thrown away, how did the tail cap fall off? No specific information was found, but when it was launched, the tail cap must not have been there, because flames were sprayed from behind. So the Hero of East China guessed that it was fragile and splashed away directly.
, don’t worry about hurting anyone. During the battle, there can’t be anyone in this place, otherwise they won’t be exposed to the flames. This is the same as not standing behind an RPG.)
At the front end of the launch tube, the Sea Sidewinder missile suddenly jumped out. Its overall shape did not look like a conventional anti-aircraft missile. It had canards on the front end and four large areas on the rear end.
The trapezoidal tail fin looks a bit like a short-range combat missile.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The warhead and tail are all painted with bright red paint, which looks very eye-catching.
The smoke was not dense, which was in sharp contrast to the launch of the Seahawk 8. After the missile left the launch tube, the white smoke had almost dispersed.
At this time, the missile was accelerating rapidly. Its tail dragged out more than ten meters of flames and white smoke. The four-meter-long projectile appeared to be very small. Under the acceleration of 18g, the safety device of the missile warhead was released.
, this missile is already ready to explode!
A second later, the second missile flew out.
In the previous era, the navy's air defense could only rely on machine guns and cannons. Now, these two fired Sea Sidewinder missiles will open up a new sky for the navy!
A new era has arrived!
At this moment, Qin Tao's heart suddenly surged with warmth.
Being reborn and growing up with the Navy is such a rare experience.
Although there is already a Hongqi 61, that thing is just to scare people. Of course, the Navy also knows who is more reliable. Therefore, after the introduction of the Sea Rattlesnake, it was domestically produced into the Haihongqi-7, and then used in many domestically produced models.
On warships, for a long time, whether they are destroyers or frigates, they have carried the Haihongqi-7.
Therefore, Qin Tao still has deep feelings for this weapon.
Now, this missile is installed on a navy warship, and the first test launch has finally begun!
Inside the bridge, the atmosphere became even more tense. Everyone held their breath for fear of disturbing the missiles in flight. Only the radar crew kept reporting the numbers.
"Ten, nine, eight..."
The fire control radar is constantly irradiating the target and obtaining guidance data. The infrared device is constantly guiding the missile into the radar beam and tracking the missile. The computer is rapidly calculating the angular deviation between the missile and the target and the missile's angle.
The distance data, according to the "three-point method" guidance rule, automatically calculates the control instructions, and then sends them to the flying missile through radio transmission.
This missile still uses a backward radio guidance method and does not use any advanced solutions such as semi-active radar guidance. However, it is mature and reliable and is the most urgently needed weapon system for the navy.
The missile continuously receives remote control commands, and then uses the autopilot to control the deflection of the rudder surface, change the flight attitude, correct the deviation, and continue to fly toward the target accurately.
On the sea, the YJ-8 target missile was still flying towards me, trailing a line of white smoke at its tail, which was very spectacular.
LaCour also held his breath. His telescope was always pointed at the incoming anti-ship missiles, and he was looking forward to the intercepted Sea Sidewinder appearing in his field of vision.
"Three, two, one!"
As the countdown reached zero, Rakul suddenly opened his eyes wide. A missile with a red head and a red tail entered his field of vision, and then a fireball rose.
boom!
The fragmentation warhead of the Sea Sidewinder exploded, and countless fragments formed a metal storm and flew towards the YJ-8 target missile.
The next second, a big fireball was generated on the entire sea surface, and the flying anti-ship missile target had been hit!
"Victory!"
"we won!"
"Accurate hit!"
In the bridge, countless people burst into excited shouts. They seemed to have forgotten that there was a second missile!
LaCour's telescope tracked the fireball that had been hit and started to fall into the sea. Then, the second missile flew over and accurately hit the remains of the target missile again, blowing up the remaining intact parts of the target missile. A mess.
"Great, great!" Rakul murmured to himself: "This kind of anti-aircraft missile can perfectly intercept anti-ship missiles. Qin, we are already negotiating the Sea Sparrow contract with the West. However, Sea Sidewinder , can also be used as one of our alternative plans, but are you sure you are qualified to export this air defense system?"
They came over for inspection and were invited to visit the sea target practice. Of course they knew the reason. During the bidding, Qin Tao had already mentioned different weapon configuration plans.
LaCour is well aware of the problem.
This sea rattlesnake, after all, belongs to the French. Even if the technology is sold and the Chinese are allowed to imitate it, can the Chinese be allowed to sell it? This is teaching the apprentice to starve the master to death. Aren't the French worried that they will be affected?
"Of course." Qin Tao said: "We have imported a total of two sets of Sea Sidewinders, one is installed on the 109 ship, and the other is installed on the first ship of our 052 destroyer. The second ship of our 052 destroyer will be installed on it. We produce the Sea Rattlesnake system ourselves, so in terms of time, it is completely in time. As for your worries, it is not a problem at all. Believe me, we will not be subject to any export restrictions."
What's so difficult about this? The wisdom of the Chinese workers is endless!
Take ground weapons as an example. In the early years, in order to cope with the torrent in the north, the technology of L7 rifled guns was imported from Europe. It is still the main weapon and equipment of the tank force. However, if the country wants to develop the economy, the army must be patient, and the military factories must Products are sold.
Therefore, the 69 tanks, 85 tanks, etc. equipped with L7 have become the main force in external marketing. However, the British are not happy. I don’t care if you sell tanks, but they cannot sell our tank guns. Our L7 tank guns are It is for you to resist the threat from the north, not for you to use to make money.
How can such a small problem be difficult for military personnel? I don’t sell the L7 tank gun. I lengthen it by one or two meters. The lengthened L7 is not an L7. In this way, I get rid of export restrictions.
Of course, the same is true for Haihongqi-7. It is not only widely used in China, but also successfully sold. It is just renamed FM-90. What we sell is not Haihongqi-7, what we sell is FM-90! What? Does it look similar on the outside? It does look similar, but we guarantee that the inside is completely different.
Qin Tao has already thought of a plan. Both Laoba and Algeria have accepted frigates equipped with this kind of air defense system, so there is no problem with exporting.
"It's amazing. We saw wonderful target practice at sea today." On the bridge of the navigation ship below, the big shot also sighed with emotion: "We will also consider this anti-aircraft missile. What's next? And What show?"
"Yes, please continue to enjoy." Wu Shengli said: "Now, call the three missile boats 2208, 2209, and 2210! The target missile launcher continues to prepare to launch the second target missile!"
Second target bomb?
The big shot was very happy, and Naris was even more surprised: "When did your navy become so rich?"
For the Chinese Navy, now is the most difficult time. After all, the country wants to develop its economy and the military must endure.
It’s painful enough for navy warships to go to sea and burn oil. It’s a luxury to put a few cannonballs on occasionally. How much does one missile cost? Who would be willing to do it?
What now?
Not only did the Sea Sidewinder perform a demonstration of intercepting low-altitude sea-skimming missiles, but there was also another experiment of intercepting target missiles by a 022 missile boat?
Isn’t this too luxurious?
"In order to entertain our distinguished guests, we will indulge ourselves once," Wu Shengli said.
There was a huge roar on the distant sea, as if it was thunder.
"What is that in the distance?" LaCour, who was on the bridge of the compass ship, turned his telescope over in surprise, but he couldn't find it.
"Our 022 missile boat uses a special marine camouflage, so it is difficult to detect visually at long distances. My friend, don't be so anxious now. Wait until it is within five kilometers and then look for it by observing water splashes. Goal."
Marine camouflage, visual invisibility? What a noble existence this must be!
In the vast sea, warships are difficult to spot, so much so that Lao Maozi likes to use brick-red anti-rust paint on the deck just to be more conspicuous. Now, the Chinese actually use marine camouflage to make them invisible?
The guests from Siam were extremely surprised by this.
Qin Tao smiled, it was just a little trick, but the effect was just right.
Finally, the three missile boats approached, and sure enough, the first thing you could see was the water splash at the tail. You could accurately find the missile boat in front based on the water splash. If you looked directly, you really couldn't find it.
This disguise is too awesome!
The three catamaran missile boats cut through the waves, riding the wind and waves, and the roar came from far to near. In the navigation bridge, Nares said with emotion: "The speed of this kind of missile boat is really the same as the legend, at least as fast as Fifty Days!”
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe it. Although this missile boat has been paid attention to by many people in the industry, most of them are skeptical.
A missile boat that can reach fifty knots? How is that possible? What an incredible power system does that have to have?
Some experts have even analyzed that even if such missile boats appear, they will not be stable.
Now, the three missile boats rushed up like this, cutting through the thorns and waves, invincible. The audience's eyes looked over, and they were full of shock.
These missile boats were lined up in a column. After moving over, they passed side by side with the No. 109 warship. Then, an arc-shaped wave formed, and the missile boats made an incredible turning action!
Such a fast speed and such agile steering are simply impossible!
"Our missile boat uses a water jet propeller and can change its direction by changing the nozzle, so it is very flexible." Wu Shengli introduced: "Have you seen the naval gun on the bow of the boat?
?Next, we will use this naval gun to conduct missile interception experiments."
"Ship guns intercept missiles? Isn't this easy?" Narris asked.
In the past, small-caliber anti-aircraft guns were the trend for air defense, but with the continuous advancement of anti-ship missile technology, it has become increasingly difficult to use such anti-aircraft guns to intercept missiles.
Even if the No. 109 destroyer has a batch of twin anti-aircraft guns with sealed turrets, it is impossible to successfully intercept anti-ship missiles. Even those installed on the 052 destroyer are only used for self-comfort in the final stage.
.
As for these missile boats, they have no air defense capabilities and rely entirely on their small size to avoid strikes. Can the naval gun on the bow of the boat intercept missiles?
No one believes it.
But some people saw the clues: "This kind of naval gun looks like a Gatling gun with a revolving gun!"
The shell of the naval gun has been replaced with an angular stealth shape. There is no trace of Lao Maozi's AK-630 naval gun at all. Only the cylindrical barrel allows an expert to tell that it is a rotating barrel.
Gatling comes.
"That's right, this is a six-barreled 30mm close-in defense gun developed by us domestically. The project code is pj13." Wu Shengli explained with a smile: "This kind of close-in defense gun has a high rate of fire and strong firepower. It can rely on dense ammunition.
The curtain forms a metal wall, and a target missile flying at Mach 0.9 will be shattered into pieces if it hits this metal wall."
At this time, discussions were also going on in the compass bridge above.
"Six-barreled 30mm close-in defense gun? It sounds very similar to the Soviet AK630 naval gun."
"Yes, it's very similar. However, this is what we developed ourselves and has nothing to do with Lao Maozi's. Now, we have gathered three missile boats and three close-in defense guns to ensure that everything is foolproof. However, during the interception experiment, we still need to
The first ship fires first, and if the interception is not successful, the second ship will take over, and then the third ship."
While they were talking, the three missile boats had already circled from the bow of the 109 warship to the starboard side of the 109 warship. Then, they lined up here, from far to near, with a distance of one or two kilometers apart.
"This missile boat is weird. How can it turn around at this speed?" Lakul asked in surprise.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "That is of course because our missile boats use a water jet propulsion system, and they can turn on the spot when stationary, let alone this kind of action
.”
Qin Tao sighed in his heart that this was because the navy was too conservative.
If this kind of close-in defense gun is installed on the No. 109 warship, there will be no problem with missile boats. However, I don’t know what is going on with the Navy. It has no money or no idea, and it still uses this kind of twin-mounted anti-aircraft gun.
, we are already behind the times, hurry up and get close to the artillery defense.
Destroyer No. 112, as the number one star ship in China, actually has this kind of double-mounted anti-aircraft gun squatting on it during the outfitting stage. I really don’t know what it’s thinking.
However, fortunately, this gave the missile boat a chance to show off.
"Ten minutes to prepare!"
The second round of interceptions has already begun.
This round, unlike the last time, it still affects people's hearts, because the Sea Sidewinder can intercept sea-skimming missiles, and everyone is mentally prepared. But, can this multi-tube Gatling intercept it?
Many people find it suspenseful.
Time passed little by little, and finally, a line of white smoke flew quickly from the sea, and soon approached the outermost missile boat No. 2208. At this time, the bow of the missile boat was already aligned in the direction of the target.
The PJ13 naval gun suddenly burst into flames.
The six tubes rotated rapidly, and the flames sprayed from the muzzle converged together, like an extra-large lighter. With a bang, the 30mm shells flew out.
Qin Tao touched his nose. This was considered a brave move. He wanted to lose everything at once.
This kind of close-in defense artillery has a fast rate of fire, but it doesn't have a lot of ammunition. Therefore, if it hits the target for just one or two seconds, the flame will go out and a bunch of shells will fly past.
Undertake interception tasks.
But this was the first interception after all, and it was in front of the Siamese people. Therefore, the captain of the missile boat also took the risk and fired all the 2,000 rounds of artillery shells!
The dense barrage flew forward, and the anti-ship missile target flying smoothly on the opposite side suddenly swayed back and forth like a fallen leaf in a strong wind, and then turned into a fireball.
Interception successful!
Although the Navy spent a lot of money this time, it has at least verified the performance of the two weapons. This kind of target practice is necessary.
Wu Shengli was very happy when he saw that the first missile boat had knocked down the anti-ship missile without using any crooked tricks and it was just a matter of honor.
"Fortunately, our PJ13 naval gun did not embarrass us." Wu Shengli said with a smile.
Sea Sidewinder, PJ13 naval gun, these weapons can be installed on the aircraft carrier ordered by the Siamese.
"These missile boats are very good. Can we purchase a batch of them?" At this moment, the big shot spoke.
What?
Everyone present was surprised. The appearance of the missile boat was just to demonstrate the close-in defense artillery. Who would have thought that the customer would actually like the missile boat?
