Great warships

Chapter 844 Global Hawk's Reconnaissance
For the Parthian Navy, there is really no need for a large warship. It is enough to use a displacement slightly larger than their existing frigates. With a displacement of [-] tons, it can be equipped with anti-ship missiles and Anti-aircraft missiles and a helicopter take-off and landing platform are already very good for them.

As for the engine, of course there is no need to use a gas turbine. With this displacement, Dongfang provides three or four diesel engines, which is enough for their warships to reach [-] knots, and it is also fuel-efficient. The quantity is certain, and the more fuel-efficient the engines, the longer their cruising range.

Qin Tao began to introduce various overall designs, and Kassim listened carefully there. After listening to Qin Tao's introduction, Kassim began to ask questions.

"President Qin, can we install a four-sided phased array radar on this frigate?"

A warship with a displacement of [-] tons actually needs to install a four-sided phased array?Qin Tao was a little surprised. Generally speaking, this kind of equipment is prepared for warships of six or seven thousand tons. After thinking about it, he still refused.

"No, the displacement of this kind of frigate is too small. If you install a four-sided phased array, it will inevitably lead to top-heavy. If you need it, I think it is enough to install an ordinary roof radar. This kind of radar is used for air and air defense. Sea Search, the performance is pretty good.”

If a four-sided phased array is installed, it must be the 052B type. Although Europe is also doing it, it is impossible to sell it to the Parthia. As long as this kind of device appears on the warships of the Parthia, then anyone with a discerning eye can see that it must be from the East. which provided.

Qin Tao didn't want to make trouble.

Roof radar is different, not only Dongfang has it, but Lao Maozi also has it, and Ah San’s warships, so even if this kind of thing is installed on Parthia’s warships, the Americans cannot conclude that it was provided by Dongfang.

Of course, it is impossible for them to step up and check.

It is better to use the roof radar as the main force.

"What missile do you plan to use as the main air defense missile?" Qin Tao continued to ask.

"We have the Hunter-1 missile, which is a copy of the American Standard-2 missile, and we plan to install this anti-aircraft missile on our warships." Kasim said. (Hunter 1 is said to be a copy of our Hongqi-2)

Before 79, Parthia had a close relationship with the West. Of course, it also obtained a large number of Western weapons and equipment. Tomcat fighters could be obtained, not to mention other things. Later, although the supply was interrupted, they continued to strive for self-improvement and started surveying and mapping. imitation.

The Hunter-2 missile is a result of their surveying and mapping imitation. Although it was only a product of the United States decades ago, in this world, few countries can survey and map imitate it.

It's just that using Lao Maozi's roof radar to provide guidance for the Standard-1 missile has never been tried before. Will it work?
"We have now imitated the missile body and target irradiation radar, and plan to use the search radar of the Hawker air defense missile. If the East can provide us with the roof radar, it will save us from continuing to survey and map. However, this missile is launched The way of the launcher, can President Qin replace us with a vertical launcher?"

Using vertical hair on a [-]-ton warship?Qin Tao shook his head helplessly: "No, the size of the warship is too small. If you use the vertical launch, you can only deploy a dozen anti-aircraft missiles at most, and the firepower density is too poor. The inclined launch method can also make the launcher point in advance. Goal, improve launch efficiency, I don't recommend you to use vertical hair."

The Hongqi-054 used by the 16-ton 1 is about the same size as the Standard-32. Only 16 units of launchers are arranged on the bow of the ship. A [-]-ton warship can fit [-] missiles into it, which is already against the sky. up.

Therefore, the hanging hair was also denied by Qin Tao.

"In the final analysis, it is the displacement that limits our warships. It would be great if the displacement could be increased." Kasim sighed with emotion.

"Kasim, you need to know what your combat mission is." Qin Tao said: "For you, the navy cannot grow to a large scale for the time being. With this money, wouldn't it be better for you to equip a few more stealth fighter jets?" ?"

Kasim nodded: "That's right, Mr. Qin, you are right, the stealth fighter is our trump card. However, I still feel unwilling."

"You can do it if you want, but your air defense system on land can do it." Qin Tao said, "You have been relying on Hawk for air defense, and you are already behind."

Anxi has a large number of Hawker anti-aircraft missiles. In addition to attaching this anti-aircraft missile to the Tomcat fighter jet as a phoenix, they also imitate it. The imitated missile is called Mersad. However, the shape of the Hawker missile is It is too outdated, so they also improved this missile, such as replacing the Standard-1 missile with this system, called Mersad-16. It can be seen that the integration ability of the Parthians is also quite strong.

Needless to say, this kind of medium-range missile, later on, they also worked out an area air defense missile code-named Faith, which looked like a replica of the S-300 at first, and then took the western route.

Therefore, when this air defense missile is developed, no one can tell its true origin.

"That's right, we need advanced area air defense missiles, Mr. Qin, I hope we can get your help." Kasim also became excited.

"Of course we will help. If you need it, we have an advanced Kaishan missile that we can sell to you."

The Kaishan missile is a replica of the Hongqi-2 missile. It is mainly cost-effective. The Air Force has not yet taken a fancy to it, but its export sales have improved greatly.

"On the battlefield last year, this missile made the F117 fall into the sand." Qin Tao continued.

Kasim's eyes widened: "Really? That is indeed what we need most. We hope to purchase this kind of missile, but we hope to be able to produce it ourselves."

"Of course, the missile that suddenly appeared in your hands has nothing to do with us. It was completely developed by you." Qin Tao said: "You can announce to the public that you have developed a Bavar-373 long-range road mobile air defense missile system. .”

Bavar means belief, and 373 is the consonant number of the name of the great Prophet Muhammad. Qin Tao casually mentioned the name of the air defense missile system of the descendants of Parthia, which made Kasim very happy.

"Yes, then we look forward to equipping our troops with this long-range air defense missile as soon as possible."

This is the benefit of acquaintances. Kasim firmly believed that Qin Tao would not lie to him, so he nodded immediately after hearing a name and hearing that it was this kind of weapon that shot down the F-117.

Originally, the two were discussing warships, but they unknowingly shifted to the air defense system during the discussion. For Parthia, homeland air defense is indeed more important than warships. After all, they are facing the United States, and it is good to be able to defend them. To develop defensive strength.

This time the U.S. Navy was deflated, how will they respond next?

After discussing with Qin Tao, Kasim and Qin Tao left contentedly, but within half an hour, they left again with anxiety on their faces.

"President Qin, just received the latest news. Just an hour ago, a Global Hawk drone of the Yankees penetrated into our airspace, and then retreated." Kasim said: "This is revenge, they Use this method to retaliate against us!"

"What?" Qin Tao was very surprised: "The Global Hawk flew into your airspace, and you didn't notice it?"

The Global Hawk is a new generation of high-altitude and long-endurance drones developed by the United States after the elimination of U-2 and SR-[-]. Since there is no human pilot, it is okay even if it encounters some threats, so the mission is carried out even more unscrupulously. .

Compared with reconnaissance satellites, this reconnaissance method is more flexible and efficient, and it can fly there at any time when needed.Reconnaissance satellites need to adjust their orbits, and orbit adjustments need to be reported and approved layer by layer, which often delays time.

However, the national air defense force of Parthia is still very strong. They have Tomcats, MiG-29s, and Kach and Lightning fighters. If there are drones flying in, they can take off and intercept them. It is said that the anti-aircraft missiles will not let people fly into the airspace.

This is equivalent to a slap in the face.

However, the U.S. Navy does not currently have a Global Hawk. This kind of drone has just been equipped with the U.S. Air Force. For the Americans, this is a victory and they will have more face, but for the Navy, it will make them Even more embarrassing, they have no ability to take retaliatory actions, and they have to let the Air Force vent their anger.

"President Qin, there are still many loopholes in our homeland air defense. After all, our country is vast. Air defense radar and air defense missile units are mainly deployed around cities and military bases. Their drones enter from the imperial cemetery. Flying over our mountains, we didn't see it until we left, and by the time we took off to pursue it, the Global Hawk had already flown away."

For any country with a vast territory, it will face this kind of problem: There are loopholes in the national air defense!Even the east is no exception. Although the aviation bases along the southeast coast are densely packed, the northwest and southwest are full of loopholes.

The Anxi Kingdom's monitoring in the direction of Anxi Bay is relatively strong. They can respond to various situations at any time, but in the east, in the direction of the Imperial Cemetery, they don't pay much attention. After all, there will be no planes flying over there. .

Who would have thought that a drone would fly over there!

"It should be to detect the ballistic missile launch sites in your mountains." Qin Tao said: "After all, your anti-ship ballistic missiles have brought too much pressure on the Americans."

"We think so too, but we absolutely cannot tolerate this kind of thing continuing to happen, Mr. Qin, we want to shoot down their drones!"

"Okay, I support." Qin Tao said: "However, Yankees are also smart. This time they invaded your airspace from the direction of the Imperial Cemetery. You must mobilize some anti-aircraft missiles to defend against it. In this way, you The air defense force deployed along the coast of Anxi Bay is much weaker, so I suggest that you immediately purchase Kaishan missiles and secretly deploy them near the deployed missile force station along the coast of Anxi Bay. When it invades your airspace, you can take the Global Hawk down."

This is called tricking!

Kasim opened his eyes wide: "Okay, I will pass on your plan to the superior."

"The targets they most want to investigate must include our shipyard. You can announce the plan to build warships, and they will not be able to hold back and take off to investigate. At that time, you will be able to decide everything in one fell swoop. However, I There is a request."

"President Qin, please speak."

"When you shoot down this Global Hawk, give us the wreckage."

"Of course no problem." Kasim nodded.

For them, the wreckage is useless, and if it is given to Dongfang, maybe they can share the secrets in it.

Dongfang also has similar drones, and has even developed a surveillance drone. However, Dongfang has always been weak in the composite materials used in the wings, so the UAV developed by Dongfang cannot achieve such a long range. The wingspan has to become a pole-like up and down structure.

Obtaining the wreckage of the Global Hawk may also help one's side improve the drone, and the electronic equipment on it may also allow one's side to obtain the secrets of the US military.

Therefore, Qin Tao was very interested in the wreckage, and in this way, Anxi had to purchase Kaishan air defense missiles immediately, after all, to make up for the vacancy caused by the replacement of the air defense missile force.

Near the Bandar Abbas Shipyard.

The triple-installed Hawker air defense missile looks a bit fat. Its four triangular wings in the center of the body extend to the tail, forming a unique layout of the first generation of air defense missiles, but no one dares to doubt its combat effectiveness. After all, Even if it is a first-generation air defense missile, it is still no problem to use it to fight the Global Hawk.

Since the Global Hawk has been in service, it has always been a showy existence, flying around on various battlefields, as if no one can do anything to get it, which gives people an illusion: Does the Global Hawk also have the ability to be invisible and cannot be shot down?

This is of course a misunderstanding. A big guy like the Global Hawk is bigger than a passenger plane, and its RCS is as high as ten square meters. Of course, it has no stealth capability.Compared with U-2 and SR-71, it has no advantage: its maximum height is only [-] meters, and its maximum speed does not exceed the speed of sound, as if it is a slow target drone flying in the sky.

However, for a long time, the Global Hawk has not been shot down. This is of course because the airspace it detects is almost undefended, and it has no ability to shoot it down. The first step is to master the air supremacy. The skies belong to the U.S. military, so they can naturally do whatever they want.

If you encounter a hard bone that is difficult to chew, you have to be careful.

The maximum shooting height of the Hawk missile is only [-] meters, so as long as it does not fly above its head, it is safe, but they still have to be careful.

It's just curious that the Hawker air defense missile ended its air defense mission on this day. They put away the hydraulic outriggers, they put down the tires, and after inflating them, they hung them on the back of a military truck. The entire air defense missile battalion began to shift positions.

Where did you go?Nobody knows!

"What do the Anxi people think, they actually transferred the anti-aircraft missile unit of the shipyard?" In the Wujiao House, they immediately analyzed the latest information.

It's not scientific.

Bandar Abbas and the Abbas Shipyard are both important. They actually transferred the air defense missile unit here?

"They don't have many anti-aircraft missile units on hand. If they want to prevent us from flying into their airspace from the Imperial Cemetery, they can only choose some unimportant air defense units to transfer away. Although Bandar Abbas is very important, However, they docked several stealth missile boats with anti-aircraft missiles on them, and they probably want to temporarily use these missile boats for air defense."

Hearing this analysis, the people present nodded: "Yes, it should be like this, so we only need to drive the warships to attract their missile boats. By that time, Bandar Abbas will be empty. We can just scout Bandar Abbas, we heard that they are going to build a new generation of warships, let's see how the shipyard is preparing."

"Hmph, what other warships can they build? The displacement is only over 1000 tons, which is not enough for us to greet with a harpoon. We just don't plan to really fight with them, otherwise, we can easily send all their warships to Into the bottom of the sea! They might as well build some submarines."

"That's right, if they get the technology from the East and build a few advanced submarines, it will be a headache for us. I don't know what they think. They always use the technology of the old man who is backward. This time, let Let our Global Hawk drones trick them one more time!"

"However, we also need to be fully prepared. Are there fighter jets at the nearby airport ready to take off at any time?"

"No, the image sent by the reconnaissance satellite shows that the fighter plane over there has also been transferred."

Bandar Abbas.

It was very ordinary here, and there were not many ships docked here. However, when the infrastructure company of Mingzhou Group came here, everything changed drastically. The port here was widened and deepened, and more and more ships were docked. There is also a shipyard here, which not only builds ships, but also undertakes some ship repair tasks, and the entire port seems to be thriving.

The 30-ton oil tanker Kutis was docking at the port to load oil. The crew looked at the surrounding scene boredly. Some of them climbed onto the high mast as if they were repairing the mast. In fact, Wide field of view, you can see everything around.

Ever since the Mingzhou Group developed sails to reduce fuel consumption, shipyards from various countries have followed suit. For a time, if a cargo ship does not have a sail, it would be embarrassing to say hello to people at sea. At the same time, this also gave the sailors an old The feeling of inheritance: only with sails, is it like a ship.If you climb up, you can show your courage and skills.

Everything is working out there at the shipyard, the light is good, a great opportunity!

He picked up the phone and quickly pressed his fingers on it: "Everything is normal."

After the development of mobile phones, it has become more and more common to use them to transmit messages. Its biggest advantage is that it does not expose the target like radio, and the content sent is also difficult to be stolen.It is impossible for the telecommunications company to have any doubts about these four words and then treat them specially.

Ten minutes later, the sound of an alarm sounded in the military port on the side of the port, and several missile boats quickly started, accelerated, left the pier, and headed for the outlet outside the strait at lightning speed.

"All dispatched." He continued to send a second message.

In fact, an early warning aircraft has already taken off across the strait to monitor everything here. However, the early warning aircraft can only monitor a target leaving the port. It does not know what the target is, nor does it know how many ships are left behind. The target will appear on the early warning aircraft, and it is only a bright spot.

Or seeing is believing.

Now, everything is safe.

"It's time for our Global Hawk to pass by. In an Eastern idiom, this is called going east and west! Let those people know how powerful we are!" On the early warning aircraft, the commander said excitedly.

The Global Hawk is a high-altitude and long-endurance UAV that can fly in the sky for dozens of hours. This time, in order to seize the opportunity, it has been flying over the outer sky of Anxi Bay. Now that it has received an order, it immediately reverses its direction, like a trumpet. Flying in the direction of the mouth of Anxi Bay.

At an altitude of [-] meters, this large drone is unremarkable.

Its wingspan is 35.7 meters, which is larger than that of Boeing 737. The nose looks like a big-headed fly. There is an engine sandwiched between the V-shaped tail fins. It is different from the engine placed below the general aircraft, which looks very different. , but this layout is still very creative. You can see that Dongfang's drones are also using this layout.

Its flight speed is not fast, and its long unswept wings make it impossible to fly at supersonic speeds at all, but it is very good at flying straight and high in the sky.

As the most advanced reconnaissance platform of the US military, it has never been shot down, and it does not believe that it will be shot down.

The plane continued to fly forward, getting closer and closer to the strait at the entrance of Anxi Bay.

"Huh, this trick is really good!" Near the Abbas Shipyard, a convoy was driving over. On the leading pick-up truck, a man poked his head out and looked at the sky with sharp eyes. murmured.

He certainly couldn't see the drones flying in the distance, but their eyeliners were deployed on the ships sailing on the other side of the estuary, and they had already been caught through the telescope.

It's not easy, but if you predict the direction of the opponent's approach in advance, you can be targeted.As for not using radar, of course it was because they were afraid of scaring the snake.

The missile boat was attracted to the interior of Anxi Bay, and then the opponent flew in from outside Anxi Bay. Taking advantage of the gap in the defense of its own side, it could directly penetrate into its own airspace, circle in a circle and return.

There can be no second time for this kind of thing!
He raised his arm and looked at his watch.

"Attention, stop advancing after 2 minutes, deploy on the spot, start the machine within 5 minutes, and shoot down the target!"

Until now, they are a normal convoy, but after 2 minutes, they will become advanced weapons!
