Great warships

Chapter 196
This kind of long-distance sea-to-air search radar generally does not suffer from performance degradation. It is very safe to find warships [-] kilometers away. After all, ordinary warships are very large, and the radar waves reflected back Also a lot.

But now, this target missile launching boat can actually hide in the radar search, which means that in actual combat, this kind of boat can secretly approach the target at a distance of [-] to [-] kilometers, and then launch an anti-ship missile attack!
When thinking of this, all the people present became excited.

It is simply a sea killer!

Although the 022 missile boat is a ship of several hundred tons, due to its excellent shape design, in front of the sea search radar of other warships, it is like a small boat of tens of tons, under the cover of waves. , It can really be invisible from thirty to forty kilometers away.

(I don’t know if this is an exaggeration. After all, there is no stealth coating or anything, and the appearance is invisible.)
Of course, it is not a panacea. The shape design with a large upward slope can certainly reflect the search radar waves of the opposing warship into the sky. machine, there is no such good stealth ability.

In any case, the current stealth capability of this target launcher boat in front of the radar has surprised the people of Siam very much.

"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 came out of nowhere. In fact, it was the target launcher launching a missile, revealing its whereabouts.

At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"The target is [-] kilometers away, and the location coordinates have been sent!"

"The data has been received, and the fire control radar has switched to the tracking state!" The radar soldier of the Beaver-II fire control radar shouted.

"Speed ​​0.9 Mach, height 20 meters, distance 27 kilometers!"

At a speed of Mach 0.9, that is, about 300 meters per second, 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 is holding their breath, there are still 27 kilometers left, that is, ninety seconds, and they will fly over in one and a half minutes!
"The sea clutter is slightly larger, but it can still track the target stably!"

"Twenty kilometers away, the infrared tracking device is activated!"

"The infrared device has captured the target!"

The commands kept coming in one after another. For the operators of the anti-aircraft missiles, they had practiced many times. Although they were firing live ammunition, they were just as serious and nervous as usual training.

On the compass bridge, everyone also became nervous.

"Where, where?" Racourt called.

"Your Excellency Lacour, there is a white smoke on the sea in the distance, have you seen it?"

White smoke?

Lacourt put down the binoculars, looked at it once with his naked eyes, and then put the binoculars in front of his eyes again.

When the anti-ship missile is launched, the smoke is billowing. Since it is launched on a ship and has no initial velocity, it is necessary to add a booster stage. The rocket engine of this booster is powerful, the flame is thick, and the scattered white smoke is enough The launched ship was wrapped.

However, during the normal flight phase, there is not much smoke from the tail of the missile.

Anti-ship missiles in normal flight consume the internal solid propellant, which can be slowed down after careful modulation.This is different from the air-to-air missile. The solid motor of the air-to-air missile will burn out in a few seconds, pushing the missile to a certain speed, and the next step is inertial flight. (I didn't find the detailed information, so I don't know if it's right.)
Therefore, the size of the smoke and dust at the tail of the missile depends entirely on the quality of the engine. The domestically produced smoke is still slightly larger. If you look at it from the air, it will be very spectacular. You can see a white line tens of kilometers long. The smoke belt 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.You can't even see it. If the tomahawk flies past with white smoke, there will be no need to engage in new three-strikes and three-defenses in the country as if facing a big enemy.

"I see, I see, Chinese Flying Fish!" Rakour shouted loudly.

Qin Tao doubts that this missile flying at Mach 0.9 can allow Lacourt to see the appearance clearly. This is what a high-speed camera does. Missiles are very similar to flying fish, and the target missiles that are flying now are just modified Haiying [-] live ammunition.

In particular, the flying altitude is very low, almost close to the sea.

"The altitude has been reduced to five meters, and the distance is fifteen kilometers!" Inside the bridge, the voice of the radar soldier was loud, and everyone could hear it clearly.

"Transfer to the lock-in phase and prepare to launch missiles!"

"The fire control computer is calculating the possibility of interception!"

"The distance is eight kilometers, the probability of interception is 90.00%, and the missile is launched!"

Boom, boom!With two soft sounds, the conical front cover of the missile launcher flew out. Then, at the tail of the launcher, the pressure of 500 million pascals generated by the ignition of the rocket engine blew the tail cover, and the debris flew everywhere. In the middle, a fiery flame burst out, and the entire position of the launching tube was enveloped in white smoke.

(The top cover is thrown away, how did the tail cover fall off? No specific information was found, but when it was launched, the tail cover must have been missing, because flames were sprayed from the back. So Huadong Zhixiong guessed it was a fragile one, and it splashed away directly. , don’t worry about hurting people, during the battle, there can’t be people in this place, otherwise you won’t be smoked by the flames, which is the same as not being able to stand behind an RPG.)
At the front end of the launch tube, the Sea Sidewinder missile flew out with a whoosh. Its overall shape does not look like a conventional anti-aircraft missile. It has canards at the front end and four large-area The trapezoidal tail looks a bit like a close combat missile.

The parts of the warhead, as well as the tail, are painted in bright red, which looks very eye-catching.

The smoke was not dense, in stark contrast to the launch of the Haiying [-]. After the missile left the launch tube, the white smoke had almost dispersed.

At this time, the missile is accelerating rapidly, and its tail drags out flames and white smoke more than ten meters long. The four-meter-long missile body looks very small. Under the acceleration of 18G, the safety device of the missile warhead is released. This missile is already ready to explode!

A second later, a second missile flew out.

In the previous era, the navy's air defense could only rely on machine guns and machine guns. Now, these two Sea Sidewinder missiles will prop up a new sky for the navy!

A new era has arrived!
At this moment, a warm current surged in Qin Tao's heart.

Coming back from rebirth and growing up with the navy is such a rare experience.

Although there is already Hongqi 61, but that thing is just poked out 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 as Haihongqi-7, and then used in many domestically produced models. On warships, for quite a long time, whether it is a destroyer or a frigate, they all went out with Haihongqi-7 on their shoulders.

Therefore, Qin Tao still has a deep affection for this weapon.

Now, this kind of missile has been installed on the Navy's 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 flying missiles. Only the radar soldiers kept counting.

"Ten, nine, eight..."

The fire control radar is constantly irradiating the target to obtain guidance data. The infrared device is constantly guiding the missile into the radar beam to track the missile. The computer is quickly calculating the angular deviation between the missile and the target and the missile's The distance data, according to the "three-point method" guidance law, automatically calculates the control command, and then sends it to the flying missile through radio transmission.

This kind of missile still uses the backward radio guidance method, and does not use any advanced solutions such as semi-active radar guidance, but it is mature and reliable, and it is the most urgently needed weapon system for the navy.

The missile continuously receives remote control instructions, and then controls the deflection of the rudder surface through the autopilot, changes the flight attitude, corrects the deviation, and continues to fly to the target accurately.

On the surface of the sea, the YJ-8 target missile was still flying, with a trail of white smoke trailing from its tail, which was very spectacular.

Lacour also held his breath. His binoculars were always facing the incoming anti-ship missiles, and he was expecting the intercepted sea rattlesnake to appear in his field of vision.

"Three, two, one!"

As the countdown reached zero, Lacourt 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 fragment warhead of the Sea Rattlesnake exploded, and countless fragments formed a metal storm, flying towards the YJ-8 target missile.

In the next second, a big fireball was formed on the entire sea surface, and the flying anti-ship missile target had already been hit!
"Victory!"

"we won!"

"Accurate hit!"

In the bridge, countless people burst into shouts of excitement. They seem to have forgotten that there is a second missile!

Lacourt's telescope tracked the fireball that had already been hit and started to fall into the sea. Then, the second missile flew over and hit the wreckage of the target bomb accurately again, blowing up the remaining intact parts of the target bomb. A mess.

"Great, great!" Rakul murmured, "This anti-aircraft missile can perfectly intercept anti-ship missiles, Qin, we are already negotiating a contract with the West for the Sea Sparrow, but the Sea Rattlesnake , can also be used as one of our alternatives, but are you sure you are qualified to export this air defense system?"

They came to investigate, and then were invited to watch the shooting at sea. Of course, they knew the reason. When bidding, Qin Tao had already mentioned different weapon configuration plans.

Lacourt is well aware of the problem.

After all, this sea rattlesnake 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 to teach the apprentice to starve the master to death. Don't the French worry that they will be affected?

"Of course." Qin Tao said: "We have imported two sets of Sea Rattlesnakes, 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 We produce the Sea Rattlesnake system ourselves, so in terms of time, it is completely in time. As for your concerns, it is not a problem at all, believe me, we will not be subject to any export restrictions."

What's so difficult about it?The wisdom of Chinese military workers is endless!
Take ground weapons as an example. In the early years, in order to deal with the torrent in the north, the technology of the L7 rifled gun was imported from Europe, and it is still the main weapon of the tank army.However, if the country wants to develop its economy, the army must be patient, and military factories must sell their products.

Therefore, 7 tanks equipped with L69, 85 tanks, etc. have become the main force of foreign sales, but the British are not happy. I don’t care if you sell tanks, but you can’t sell our tank guns. Our L7 tank guns are In order to help you resist the threat from the north, it is not for you to use it to make money.

This small problem, how can it be difficult for military personnel, I don’t sell L7 tank guns, I lengthen it by one or two meters, the lengthened L7 is not L7, just like that, get rid of the export restrictions.

Of course, the same is true for Haihongqi-7. It is not only widely used in China, but also sold successfully. It is just called FM-90 again.We are not selling Haihongqi-7, we are selling FM-90!how?look like?Like dots, yes, but we promise, things are completely different inside.

Qin Tao already had a plan in mind.Laoba and Algeria have all accepted frigates equipped with this kind of air defense system, so there is no problem with export.

"It's amazing. Today we saw a wonderful sea target." On the nautical bridge below, the big man also felt emotional: "We will also consider this air defense missile. What's next? And What show?"

"Yes, next, please continue to appreciate." Wu Shengli said: "Now, call the three missile boats 2208, 2209, and 2210! The target launcher continues to prepare for the second target launch!"

The second target?
The big man 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, if the country wants to develop its economy, the army has to be patient.

Navy warships are painful enough to go to sea and burn oil. It is a luxury to put a few shells occasionally. Missiles?How much is a missile, who is willing?

What now?
Not only a performance of Sea Sidewinder intercepting low-altitude sea-skimming missiles, but also an experiment of 022 missile boat intercepting target missiles?

This is too extravagant, right?
"In order to entertain our distinguished guests well, we will spend one extravagant time," Wu Shengli said.

On the sea in the distance, there was a huge roar, as if it was thunder.

"What's in the distance?" Lacour on the compass bridge 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 find it visually at a long distance. My friend, don't be so anxious now, wait until it is within five kilometers, and then look for it by observing the spray Goal."

Marine camouflage, visual stealth?What a lofty existence this should be!

In the vast sea, warships are hard to spot, so old Maozi likes to use brick red anti-rust paint on the deck, just to stand out. Now, the Chinese actually use marine camouflage to hide?

The guests of Siam were extremely surprised by this.

Qin Tao smiled, it's just a little skill, but the effect is just right.

Finally, the three missile boats approached. Sure enough, the first thing that could be seen was the splash at the tail. According to the splash, the missile boat in front could be accurately found. If you looked directly, you really couldn't find it.

This camouflage is too powerful!

The three catamaran missile boats split the waves, ride the wind and waves, and roar from far to near. In the nautical bridge, Naris said with emotion: "The speed of this missile boat is really the same as the legend, at least Fifty festivals!"

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe it. Although this missile boat has attracted the attention of many people in the industry, most of them are skeptical.

A missile boat that ran to fifty knots?how is this possible?What a heaven-defying power system is that?
Some experts have even analyzed that even if this kind of missile boat appears, it will not be stable.

Now, the three missile boats rushed up like this, overcoming obstacles and waves, invincible, and the eyes of the audience looked over, full of shock.

These missile boats were lined up in a single column. After moving over, they passed side by side with the No. 109 warship. Then, an arc-shaped wave formed, and the missile boat made an incredible turning action!
Such a fast speed, but also such a quick turn, this is simply impossible!
"Our missile boat uses water jet propulsion, and can change 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."

"The naval gun intercepts the missile? Isn't this easy?" Naris asked.

In the past, small-caliber anti-aircraft guns were the trend, but with the continuous advancement of anti-ship missile technology, it has become more and more difficult to use that kind of anti-aircraft guns to intercept missiles.

Even if the No. 109 destroyer has a batch of double-mounted 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 don't even have air defense capabilities, and they rely entirely on their small size to avoid blows. Can the naval gun at the bow of the boat intercept missiles?
Nobody believed it.

But some people saw the clues: "This kind of naval gun seems to be a Gatling with a revolving tube!"

The shell of the naval gun has been replaced with a sharp and angular stealth shape, and the shadow of Lao Maozi's AK-630 naval gun is not visible at all, but the cylindrical barrel allows experts to see that it is a rotary barrel Gatling comes.

"That's right, this is a six-tube 30mm close-in anti-aircraft gun developed by ourselves in China, the project code is PJ13." Wu Shengli explained with a smile: "This kind of close-in anti-aircraft gun has a fast rate of fire and strong firepower. The curtain forms a metal wall, and a target missile flying at Mach 0.9 will smash into pieces when it hits the metal wall."

At this time, in the compass bridge above, discussions were also going on.

"Six-barreled 30mm close-in anti-aircraft gun? It sounds very similar to the Soviet AK630 naval gun."

"That's right, it's very similar. However, it's developed by ourselves. It has nothing to do with Lao Maozi's. Now, we have gathered three missile boats and three close-in anti-aircraft guns, which can guarantee that nothing will go wrong. However, during the interception experiment, it is still The first one fires first, and if there is no interception, the second takes over, and then the third."

While speaking, the three missile boats had circled the bow of the 109 warship, and circled to the starboard side of the 109 warship, and then lined up here, from far to near, each separated by one or two kilometers.

"This missile boat is weird. How can it turn around at this speed?" Lacourt asked in surprise.

"That's of course because our missile boat uses a water jet propulsion system, and it can turn in place even in a static state, let alone this kind of movement."

Qin Tao sighed in his heart, this is because the navy is too conservative.

If this kind of close-in defense gun is installed on the No. 109 warship, there will be no missile boats.However, I don’t know what’s going on with the navy. I don’t have money or I don’t have the mind. I still use this kind of double-mounted anti-aircraft guns.

Destroyer No. 112, as the number one star ship in the country, is now in the outfitting stage, and it actually squatted on this double-mounted anti-aircraft gun. I really don’t know what I thought.

However, fortunately, this gave the missile boat a chance to show off.

"Prepare in 10 minute!"

The second round of interception has begun.

This round, it was not the last time that touched people's hearts, because the Sea Rattlesnake can intercept sea-skimming missiles, and everyone is mentally prepared, but can this multi-barreled Gatling also intercept?
Many people feel suspenseful.

Time passed little by little, and finally, a white smoke quickly flew over the sea, and soon approached the outermost missile boat No. 2208.At this time, the bow of the missile boat was already aligned with the direction the target was coming from, and the PJ13 naval gun in front suddenly burst into flames.

The six tubes rotated quickly, and the flames ejected from the muzzle gathered together, like an oversized lighter, with a bang, the 30mm shells flew out.

Qin Tao touched his nose, and it was a big deal, he wanted to hit it all at once.

This kind of near-defense gun has a fast rate of fire, but there are not many ammunition prepared, so it only takes a second or two to hit the target, and the flame will be extinguished, and a shuttle of shells will fly over to undertake the interception task.

But this was the first interception after all, and it was still in front of the Siamese people, so the captain of the missile boat also went all out, and fired all [-] rounds of shells!

The dense barrage flew forward, and the anti-ship missile target missile flying smoothly on the opposite side suddenly shook back and forth like fallen leaves in a strong wind, and then turned into a fireball.

Successful interception!

Although the Navy has spent a lot of money this time, it has verified the performance of the two weapons, and this kind of targeting is necessary.

Seeing that the first guided missile boat had knocked down the anti-ship missiles without any crooked means, Wu Shengli was very happy.

"Fortunately, our PJ13 naval gun did not embarrass us." Wu Shengli said with a smile.

Sea rattlesnake, PJ13 naval gun, these weapons can be installed on the aircraft carrier ordered by the Siamese people.

"This kind of missile boat is very good. Can we buy a batch?" At this moment, the big man asked.

what?
Everyone present was very surprised. The appearance of the missile boat was only used to show the near-anti-aircraft guns. Who would have thought that the customer would actually take a fancy to the missile boat?
