Chapter 513 Ballistic Missile Hitting a Moving Target at Sea Performance

"That ghost ship disappeared?" Swift smoked a cigar, looking through the portholes at the flight deck below, where an F-18 Hornet was practicing takeoff, and the deck was filled with steam.

"Yes, it disappeared. It should have disappeared last night. I don't know where it went."

There was a smile on Swift's face: "It's really a ghost ship, where will it appear?"

At this moment, he was still very relaxed.

this evening.

"In order to adapt to the development of the times, so that we can better fulfill our mission, we solemnly announce that on March 3, we will conduct a test launch of an anti-ship ballistic missile. The sea area of ​​the test launch is: 9 degrees east longitude, 121 degrees north latitude..."

Anti-ship ballistic missiles!

As soon as the news was announced, there was a sensation all over the world.

On this night, after the news passed, Zhang Zhong said that the program started. This program was originally broadcast on seven channels, but this evening, it was specially moved to a program. In this way, not only the whole country, but even the whole world, You can watch this special episode.

Zhang Zhong is extremely excited today.

"Hi everyone, welcome to Zhang Zhongshuo's program. This special episode of ours is about Zhang Zhongshuo's anti-ship ballistic missile. Today, the guest we specially invited is a foreigner. Now, let's welcome together, thank you. Mr. Mikhatov!"

An old man with gray hair sat there, waved his hand and greeted the camera, and then started chattering.

However, his tone was lowered, and the voice of a simultaneous interpreter overwhelmed his voice.

"Hi everyone, I'm very glad to discuss the matter of anti-ship ballistic missiles with you." Semikhatov swallowed a mouthful of spit and calmed down his excitement: "As early as 61, the 385th Special Design Bureau also It is the current Makeyev National Missile Center and the 7th Central Design Bureau, which is now the Arsenal Design Bureau, and started the development of two new missile systems at the same time, and plans to equip them in the 18th Central Design Bureau, which is now the On the Type 667 ballistic missile nuclear submarine designed by the Ruby Design Bureau. According to the vision of the 385th Special Design Bureau, this missile system is divided into submarine models and surface ship models. Later, the 17th Central Design Bureau, which is now The Northern Design Bureau specially designed a number of carrying ship plans called long-range strike ships, which is the Red Empire's ballistic missile attack aircraft carrier plan."

"Speaking of this system, many people will find it strange. After all, ballistic missiles hit fixed targets, and it will be very difficult to hit moving targets at sea." Semikhatov has gradually relaxed, talking eloquently.

"At that time, our 592 Science Research Institute proposed two schemes, one was equipped with a seeker that actively seeks at the end of the flight, and the other was an active seeker supplemented by a semi-active seeker. Unfortunately, , the Type 667 submarine was dismounted, so the ballistic missile system was also cancelled, but its research results were used in the subsequent Р-27К anti-ship ballistic missile."

"The Red Empire is a history that reminds us. In this country, there used to be a variety of advanced weapons, which made us look like we can't help but click our tongues, such as the Caspian Sea monster, such as the Polar space laser weapon, such as this P-27K anti-ship ballistic missile, thanks to the collapse of the Red Empire, we can decipher these super weapons, now, Mr. Semikhatov, please introduce it in detail.”

"Yeah, that empire has disappeared. Otherwise, these will remain secrets forever. Since the anti-ship ballistic missile project has been discontinued, I can tell its inside story. Please see a photo here. "

A picture appeared in the lens of the TV. There was a man on it, it was Semikhatov. He stood on the left side of the picture. On the right side of the picture, there was a cross taller than his body. There are three large hemispheres and three small hemispheres on one side, which looks very unique.

"Everyone must be wondering what this is. I can introduce it to you." The camera continued to switch to Semikhatov: "This is our scientific research result, the most important cross passive navigation antenna. Using this antenna, we It can receive the signal of the aircraft carrier formation on the sea, and then adjust the course of the warhead according to the signal, so that when the warhead finally falls over the enemy aircraft carrier, the error will be guaranteed to be within two kilometers."

"Before launch, we use advanced marine reconnaissance satellites to lock on the target. When the missile flies past, the target can maneuver at most about [-] kilometers in the sea. Therefore, when the warhead falls, it is enough to adjust to sufficient accuracy."

"Sorry, let me interrupt." Zhang Zhong said: "We know that the length of the aircraft carrier is only more than 300 meters, and the accuracy of your missiles is within two kilometers, so how do you guarantee to hit the target?"

"Rely on our nuclear warhead." Semikhatov said calmly: "It will explode in the sky above the enemy. In this case, we can kill the entire enemy aircraft carrier formation with a single anti-ship ballistic missile."

"It's really simple and rude!" Zhang Zhong said: "Then didn't you develop a more precise method?"

"Based on the technology at the time, this was still difficult. With our electronic technology, it was very difficult to be accurate enough to directly attack physically." Semikhatov said: "However, the East now has such This kind of technology, as long as we replace our passive radiation seeker with an active radar seeker, enter the atmosphere and dive down, the radar will be turned on, and the target can be captured more accurately. In that case, even if it does not rely on any The warhead, just by impact, can directly smash through the target at a speed of more than ten Mach."

Compared with other weapons, ballistic missiles have a very prominent feature that they are fast!
When this kind of weapon dives down, the speed is more than ten Mach. If it is an intercontinental ballistic missile, it will even exceed Mach [-]. The speed will bring huge energy. Only by physical impact, it can destroy the target. Like a drop of water in the body world.

When Semikhatov described this, a simulated animation appeared on the screen. A ballistic ballistic trajectory flew from outer space and fell from space. Its warhead emitted electromagnetic waves and shot at the formation on the sea. Then adjust the orbit after receiving it, aiming at the target steadily and smashing it down.

It landed on the huge warship, and fell directly from the aviation deck, hitting the bottom!

The entire warship also distorted and deformed as the missile fell, as if a plank had been smashed from it, with both sides upturned, looking very miserable.

"Why did the Red Empire give up on such a powerful weapon instead of continuing to study it?" Zhang Zhong raised this question.

"In the Red Empire, advanced weapons are not the only thing that will be valued. Various factors must be considered. Take our weapon as an example, the biggest problem is that it will seriously hinder the construction of our navy."

"I'm curious, what does this have to do with your naval construction?"

"In the 60s and [-]s, our country advocated the omnipotence theory of missiles, believing that relying on missiles is enough to achieve all strategic goals, and there is no need to develop an ocean-going fleet. After the Cuban missile crisis, we were stimulated and began to develop surface ships. And Now, if there is a missile that can easily destroy the entire fleet of the enemy, then the surface ships of our navy will have no meaning. Therefore, it is a pity that this plan was canceled under such concerns."

The entire program is not long, shortened to 10 minutes, but the program has been condensed and sublimated, and almost every question and every answer touches the hearts of the audience.

The enemy's aircraft carrier formation is powerful, how to attack the enemy's aircraft carrier formation?

Saturation attack of long-range anti-ship missiles, or ballistic missiles hitting aircraft carriers?
Both have their own characteristics, and the biggest advantage of the latter is that they cannot be guarded against!
The characteristic of ballistic missiles is that interception is very difficult!
In the war in 91, the Patriot missiles were in the limelight and intercepted the Scud missiles majestically, but the Scud missiles were just ballistic missiles with a range of [-] kilometers, and their falling speed was less than Mach [-]!

The falling speed of medium-range ballistic missiles has reached more than ten Machs. So far, no weapon in the world can intercept this kind of missiles!

At present, the most advanced air defense missile of the global navy is a rookie in the "Standard" II medium-range missile family: the dual-mode Standard-2 Block IIIB missile. This missile has added a set of auxiliary infrared sensors. The combat efficiency and adaptability of the missile are both It has been improved, and it was not until 95 that it began to be finalized. In April 96, a live ammunition test was carried out.

As for the one that can intercept ballistic missiles, it is the standard 2 Block IV extended range type, which is made by adding a booster on the basis of the standard -2, with a maximum range of 185 kilometers and a maximum shooting height of 24000 meters. This Block IV A type It is specially used to intercept ballistic missiles, but the first test launch has not been until 98.

At present, there is no technical means to intercept ballistic missiles!It is a lore skill for aircraft carriers!

With this old man as a guest, everyone can guess that the equipment used by the Orientals to hit aircraft carriers with ballistic missiles should have been developed on the basis of the old man's technology.

Moreover, the most important improvement is: the warhead no longer uses nuclear warheads, but uses direct impact!
This requires extreme precision, can the Orientals achieve this level of skill?

Everyone looked suspiciously.

After all, the East has only developed in recent years, and the Eastern Navy has no foundation, and the Navy pays attention to this foundation.

He looked suspiciously at the target sea area, and countless reconnaissance satellites also looked there.

What's there?
Ghost Ship!
The ghost ship that suddenly disappeared at night appeared in the target sea area!
When attacking the enemy's aircraft carrier formation, the first task is to find the opponent. This sounds easy. The aircraft carrier is still a giant, and it is even more important to maintain a formation when fighting.

But in fact, although the aircraft carrier formation is large, the ocean is even bigger. When the aircraft carrier formation enters the ocean, it will be so small that it is insignificant.

Therefore, it is very difficult to find the aircraft carrier formation, which requires the cooperation of a large number of reconnaissance satellites and maritime search aircraft to conduct a carpet search.

As for the little ghost ship, it is even more difficult to be discovered after it reaches the sea. It is only now that it appears in the target sea area, and everyone understands it.

It's a target ship!
A large number of corner reflectors are installed on it, so that it can simulate the huge electromagnetic signal characteristics of the aircraft carrier, and the ball must be used to emit electromagnetic waves, so that it can truly simulate an aircraft carrier.

No one thought that this ship was used as a target ship, but now it suddenly dawned on me, and I found out that the reason behind it was very simple. For example, it was a barge without power. It is going to be sunk, and it would be a waste to bring power.

As for the navigation problem, don't worry, just be towed by the tugboat.

At this time, the tugboat was near the barge, and had already loosened the cables to let the barge drift with the current. It did not leave, for fear that others would step on the barge and learn the secrets on it.

There are already a lot of ships staying nearby. On these ships, countless cameras are aimed at the target ship, snapping photos.

This unique appearance makes people feel emotional. What will happen next makes them look forward to it. If the target ship can really be killed, it means that the Eastern Navy has a big killer!

"This test launch can only succeed, not fail!"

On land, in a garage, someone looked at his subordinates with a serious face and said, behind them was a large trailer, and the uniquely shaped cylinder on the trailer looked like a boiler.

On the wall behind, hung a red slogan with simple words: Can we win the battle?
This is a rhetorical question, and every soldier is asked all the time, can they fight well with one gun?
"Yes!"

"All the leaders are watching us, all the people are watching us, and the eyes of the whole world are watching us! Now, let us show the style of the Second Artillery! We can not only hit targets on land, but also Hit the target at sea, start now!"

set off!

Everyone ran to the car, including the launch car, the security car, and the command car. Their bodies were extremely fit, and their hearts were extremely excited.

They are not just a gun for hundreds of people, but only one gun is fired every ten or twenty years!Many veterans of the Second Artillery have been working for decades, but they still don't have the chance to fire. Their unit finally has the opportunity to test fire. Can you not be excited?

The engine roared, and the Hanyang tractor drove out of the garage with the large boiler behind it, and embarked on a journey.

They will not launch immediately. This is also a training. They must first maneuver, find a suitable position during the maneuver, accept orders at any time, and set up the missiles to shoot out!

They also have to avoid the satellites overhead. For them, this is an almost actual combat test!

The Rocket Force is busy, and the atmosphere in Mingzhou has also become tense. For example, at the outfitting dock, the number of sentries suddenly doubled.

Several cars drove silently to the outfitting pier, where Qin Tao stood there, welcoming the people who got off the car with a smile on his face.

"Dad, what do you guys have to worry about? If our Mingzhou Group is delayed this time, we will never accept missions for warships again. We can't afford to lose this man!"

There was a smile on Wu Shengli's face: "We still trust you. We are here this time. There is nothing else but to go out with this aircraft carrier."

what?
Qin Tao looked at the father-in-law and other leaders in surprise: "You guys want to board the aircraft carrier? Isn't that inappropriate? In case something happens..."

"Can there be any surprises? Didn't you say that if you lose the chain, you will never take on the mission of a warship again?" Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao.

"The interior decoration has not been completed yet. We are going to assemble the weapon system first, so its accommodation conditions are very poor." Qin Tao said.

"When I was on the submarine, I used to play a hammock in the torpedo cabin for several months." Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao with dissatisfaction: "Where can it be worse now? The worst is to build a hammock."

"Dad, the restaurant above has not yet been renovated, and there is no heating equipment. After you go up, you can only eat cold canned food. Your stomach is not good. If you really want to go, you can take our modern class, 051C."

Wu Shengli stared: "What are you talking about, kid? Don't you look down on people? Cold canned food is cold canned food. It's not like I haven't eaten it. These years, the life of the big guy is getting better and better. Sitian is not open, hmph, on New Year's Eve, you should have a meal of Yikusitian!"

Hearing what Wu Shengli said, Qin Tao couldn't say anything more. However, if you want to let the father-in-law eat something cold, it must not work. You can't bring gas tanks on the warship, so bring an induction cooker and a microwave oven. Even if you eat canned food, you have to heat it up before eating.

"Come on, let's go up and have a look, is the communication system installed?"

"Well, the communication system is rushing to be installed. There are frequency-hopping radio stations and data links. However, radar and the like have not been installed yet."

"Well, don't worry, we'll talk about those when we come back." Wu Shengli said: "It was a shame to ride a torpedo boat back then, but this warship looks mighty and magnificent."

While talking, everyone got on the deck and walked onto the island.

Then, Wu Shengli saw a room with comfortable Simmons mattresses.

"Okay, this is what your kid said about the poor conditions? There is no place to sleep?"

Qin Tao was a little helpless: "Dad, other people can be simpler, but the pilots have to live in a good place, so that they can maintain their combat effectiveness, recharge their batteries, and go out at any time."

For pilots?
Wu Shengli glanced at Qin Tao suspiciously, and then looked at the writing desk with metal pillars and a wooden top, which actually had the Four Treasures of the Study on it.

Wu Shengli walked over and looked at the words on it. It wasn't very beautiful, but it made sense.

"The Rocket Troops show their majesty, and the morale of the heroes of the three armed forces is brilliant. The national strength is enhanced to drive away tigers and leopards, and the Chinese sword encircles the enemy."

"Well, yes, this calligraphy is not bad, it was written by your kid, and you said that this room is not yours?" Wu Shengli continued to despise.

"Report, the equipment has been transported to the station, should we unload it now, or wait until night?" At this time, an adjutant came in and asked.

"Of course we have to wait until night. If we use the crane in a big way during the day, won't people find out that we are playing tricks?"

Wu Shengli also nodded: "Yes, let's go at night. After hanging up the equipment, let's set off overnight! Since I've come up, I won't go down."

Night falls.

Trucks dragging strange things came to the Mingzhou Shipyard. Along the way, all military vehicles cleared the way, and martial law was imposed along the way.

After the car arrived, the camouflage net on it was opened, and the outlines of the fighter planes were revealed in the dark. The slender figure and the beautiful shape made people recognize it at a glance. It was the current domestic star Su-27 fighter.

However, the wings on its sides are folded!

The wings were retracted directly, looking so special.

If there are military fans present, they will definitely recognize it at a glance: Su-33!

The side of the nose of these fighters is also sprayed with numbers, from 1503 to 1518, a total of [-] fighters, it looks so spectacular, as if in an instant, the navy has a powerful formation.

A [-]-ton crane on the shore lifted the cargo with ease. Only by seeing the posture of the crane can one know that the plane weighs only one or two tons. They are not real fighter planes at all, but wooden planes. Make a model!

The entire fighter plane is made of wood, with yellow paint sprayed on the outside. The folding mechanism and landing gear are normal. After reaching the deck, a few people can push the plane directly to fix the plane in the parking position.

"The deck truck has not been developed yet, so it can only be pushed by hand." Qin Tao stood there directing, while talking to Wu Shengli: "You can't use a tractor, or you will be laughed at by Ah San."

The aircraft carrier training has already started at the Huangdi Village base, but the tractors on land are still used. Although they are flexible enough, they are too bulky, so it is not convenient.

"Well, let's use personnel first." Wu Shengli nodded.

In the air force base, it is not uncommon for dozens of people to push the plane, and the pilots and ground crews have long been familiar with it.

When these planes boarded the ship, more people came.

Li Yan led the team, and the main force of Huangdi Village was exhausted. When they stepped on the deck of the aircraft carrier, they were extremely excited.

After practicing for so long, it was all simulated, and now I can finally operate a real aircraft carrier for the first time!
"Report to Leader Wu, one of the 280 aircraft carrier training troops at Huangdi Village base has been ordered to arrive!" Seeing Wu Shengli, Li Yan raised his right hand.

"Well, time is tight and the task is heavy. You only have a short time to adapt. I hope you don't make any mistakes."

"Yes, please rest assured, we have conducted a lot of simulation and training, and we will definitely adapt to the operation of this aircraft carrier."

"Captain Li, please tell your subordinates not to walk around casually. Our aircraft carrier has not been remodeled yet. Everyone can only move around the island, hangar and power cabin. If you go to other places, you may fall suddenly. causing unnecessary casualties."

The construction period for the modification of an aircraft carrier can take several years. Now Mingzhou Group can transform the aircraft carrier into a usable state, which is not easy.

Although these people have practiced in Huangdi Village for a long time, it is a simulated base after all, which is very different from the real aircraft carrier.

"Yes, I understand!" Li Yan replied.

"Also, please pay attention, try not to go to the edge of the deck, in case of falling into the sea, we also have a special lookout post."

Falling into the sea on an aircraft carrier is no joke.

Even if it is an American aircraft carrier, with decades of experience, dozens of them have to fall every year, some of them can come up, and some of them are directly buried in the sea.

"Yes, I understand."
