Chapter 196: Unintentional intervention(1/2)
This kind of long-distance sea-to-air search radar generally does not have any performance shrinkage. It is found that warships a hundred kilometers away are almost certain to be successful. After all, ordinary warships are very large in size and there are many radar waves reflected back.
But now, this target missile launcher can actually be hidden in radar search, which means that in actual combat, such a ship can secretly approach the target thirty or forty kilometers and then launch anti-ship missile attacks!
When they thought of this, the people present were all excited.
It's simply a sea killer!
Although the 022 missile boat is a ship of hundreds of tons, due to its excellent appearance design, in front of the sea-search radar of other warships, it is like a boat of dozens of tons. Under the cover of the waves, it can really stealth from thirty or forty kilometers away.
(I don’t know if it’s exaggerated to write this, after all, there is no invisible coating or something, so it depends on the appearance of invisibility.)
Of course, it is not omnipotent. The shape design with a large upward slope can certainly reflect the search radar waves of the warship opposite to it into the sky, but if it is facing a helicopter or a fixed-wing reconnaissance aircraft that searches the sea, it will not have such good stealth ability.
In any case, the current stealth ability of this target bomb launcher in front of the radar surprised the people in Siam.
"Discover a highlight!" At this moment, the radar soldier shouted loudly.
A highlight suddenly appeared on the empty screen, as if it had come out of thin air. In fact, this was the missile launcher launching a missile, revealing his whereabouts.
At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"The target distance is thirty kilometers, and the location coordinates have been sent!"
"The data has been received, and the fire control radar has entered a tracking state!" The radar soldier of the Beaver-ii fire control radar shouted.
"Speed 0.9 Mach, height 20 meters, distance 27 kilometers!"
Mach 0.9, which means that it will fly three kilometers in ten seconds at about 300 meters per second. Therefore, this kind of anti-ship missile interception at sea has always been calculated in seconds.
Everyone held their breath, and there were still twenty-seven kilometers, which was ninety seconds, and they would fly over in one and a half minutes!
"The waves are slightly cluttered, but they can still track the target stably!"
"The infrared tracking device is activated at a distance of twenty kilometers!"
"The infrared device has captured the target!"
Passwords are coming one by one. For the operators of air defense missiles, they have practiced repeatedly many times. Although they are firing real ammunition, they are just as serious and nervous as usual training.
Everyone on the Luojing Bridge became nervous.
"Where, where?" Rakull shouted.
"His Excellency Rakuel, there is a white smoke on the sea in the distance. Have you seen it?"
White smoke?
Rakuel put down the telescope, expanded his vision with his naked eyes once, and then put the telescope in front of him again.
When the anti-ship missile is launched, thick smoke is rolling. Since it is launched on the ship and has no initial speed, a boost section is needed. The boosted rocket engine is strong and the flame is thick. The dispersed white smoke is enough to wrap the launched ship.
However, during the normal flight stage, there is not much smoke at the tail of the missile.
Anti-ship missiles in normal flight consume internal solid-launched drugs. After careful modulation, they can slow down their combustion. This is different from air-to-air missiles. The solid engine of air-to-air missiles will burn in a few seconds, pushing the missile to a speed, and then it will fly inertia. (No detailed information is found, I don’t know if it is right.)
Therefore, how big the smoke at the tail of the missile depends entirely on the quality of the engine. For domestically produced smoke, the thick smoke is still slightly larger. If you look at it from the air, it will definitely be very spectacular. You can see a white smoke belt that is dozens of kilometers long, slowly spreading.
After that, with the advancement of technology, anti-ship missiles began to use small turbine engines, and the white smoke at the tail became much smaller. They were even invisible. If the tomahawks drew the white smoke, the country would not have to fight the new three-battle and three defenses like facing a great enemy.
"See, I see, Chinese flying fish!" Rakur shouted loudly.
Qin Tao was very suspicious that this missile flying at Mach 0.9 could allow Rakur to see the appearance clearly. This is what the high-speed camera did. However, Rakur's praise was no problem. His own Seahawk 8 missile was very similar to the flying fish. The target missiles flying now were only modified by the live ammunition of Seahawk 8.
Especially, the flight altitude is very low, almost just close to the sea.
"The height has been reduced to five meters, and the distance is fifteen kilometers!" Inside the bridge, the radar soldiers' voices were loud, and everyone could hear them clearly.
"Turn into the lockdown stage and prepare to launch missiles!"
"The fire control computer is doing interception possibility calculation!"
"The distance is eight kilometers, the possibility of interception is 90%, missile launches!"
Peng, Peng! Two light sounds, the conical front cover of the missile launcher flew out, and then, at the tail of the launcher, the five million Pascal pressure generated by the ignition of the rocket engine, shattered the tail cover, and the debris splashed everywhere. In the cylinder, hot flames emerged, and the entire launcher was in the position of the launcher, and white smoke was shrouded.
(The top cover was thrown away, how did the tail cover fall? No specific information was found, but when it was launched, the tail cover must not be there because it was sprayed with flames. Therefore, the hero of East China guessed that it was fragile and splashed directly, so there was no need to worry about hurting people. In the battle, there should be no one in this place, otherwise the flames would not be smoked. This is the same as not being able to stand behind the rpg.)
At the front end of the launch tube, the Sea Rattlesnake missile suddenly jumped out. Its overall shape did not look like a conventional air defense missile. It had candles at the front end and four large-area trapezoidal tail wings at the rear end, which looked a bit like a close-range combat missile.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The parts of the bullet and the tail are bright red paint, which looks very eye-catching.
The smoke was not thick, which was in sharp contrast to the launch of Seahawk 8. After the missile left the launcher, the white smoke almost dissipated.
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 missile body looked very small. With an acceleration of 18g, the safety device of the missile warhead was lifted. The missile was already in a state of waiting to explode!
A second later, the second missile flew out.
In the past, the navy's air defense could only rely on machine guns and machine cannons. Now, these two shots of the Sea Rattlesnake missiles will support the Navy in a new sky!
A new era has arrived!
At this moment, a warm current suddenly surged in Qin Tao's heart.
It is really rare to be reborn and grow up with the Navy.
Although there was already a Red Flag 61, that thing was just poked out to scare people. Of course, the Navy also knew who was more reliable. Therefore, after introducing the Sea Rattlesnake, it was domestically produced and turned into the Sea Red Flag-7, and then used it on many domestic warships. For a long time, whether it was a destroyer or a frigate, they all carried the Sea Red Flag-7.
Therefore, Qin Tao still has a deep affection for this weapon.
Now, this kind of missile has been installed on the navy's warships, and the first test launch has finally begun!
The atmosphere inside the bridge became even more tense, and everyone held their breath, fearing that they would disturb the missiles in flight, so only the radar soldiers kept reporting.
“Ten, nine, eight…”
The fire-controlled radar constantly illuminates the target and obtains guidance data. The infrared device constantly guides 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 distance data of the missile. According to the "three-point method" guidance rule, it automatically calculates the control commands, and then sends it to the missile in flight through radio transmission.
This kind of missile still uses backward radio guidance methods, and does not use any advanced methods such as semi-active radar guidance. However, it is mature and reliable, and is the most urgent weapon system that the Navy lacks.
The missile continuously receives remote control commands, and then controls the deflection of the rudder surface through the autopilot, changes the flight attitude, corrects the deviation, and continues to fly accurately to the target.
On the sea, the yj-8 target bullet was still flying, with a white smoke dragging at the tail, which was very spectacular.
Rakule also held his breath, his telescope was always aiming at the flying anti-ship missile, and he was expecting the intercepting sea rattlesnake in his field of vision.
"Three, two, one!"
As the countdown reached zero, suddenly, Rakuel opened his eyes wide, a red-headed and red-tailed missile entered his field of vision, and then the fireball rose.
boom!
The shattered warhead of the Sea Rattlesnake exploded, and countless pieces formed a metal storm and flew towards the yj-8 target.
The next second, a large fireball was generated on the entire sea surface, and the flying anti-ship missile target was 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!
Rakur's telescope followed the fireball that had been hit and began to fall into the sea. Then, the second missile flew over and accurately exploded on the wreckage of the target bomb again, blowing the complete part of the remaining target bomb to pieces.
"Great, great!" Rakuer murmured to himself: "This kind of air defense missile can perfectly intercept anti-ship missiles. Qin, we are already talking to the West about the contract of the Sea Sparrow. However, the Sea Rattlesnake can also be one of our alternatives. However, are you sure you are qualified to export this air defense system?"
They came over to inspect and were invited to visit the sea target shooting. Of course, they knew the reason. During the bidding, Qin Tao had already proposed different weapon configuration plans.
Rakur knew very well what the problem was.
After all, this sea rattlesnake belongs to the French. Even if it sells the technology and allows Chinese to imitate it, can it be allowed to sell it? This is what taught the apprentice to starve the master to death. Don’t the French worry about being affected?
"Of course," Qin Tao said: "We have imported two sets of sea rattlesnakes, one installed on the 109 ship and the other installed on the first ship of our 052 destroyer. The second ship of our 052 destroyer will install our own sea rattlesnake system, so in terms of time, it is completely 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 the difficulty? The wisdom of the Chinese workers is endless!
Take ground weapons for example. In the early years, in order to cope with the torrent from the north, the technology of the l7 rifled gun was imported from Europe. Now it is still the main weapon and equipment of the tank troops. However, if the country wants to develop the economy, the army must endure it, and military factories must sell their products.
Therefore, 69 tanks, 85 tanks, etc. equipped with l7 have become the main force in external sales. However, the British are not happy. I don’t care if you sell tanks, but we cannot sell our tank guns. Our l7 tank guns are to resist the threats from the north, not to let you make money.
How can this small problem be difficult for military workers? I don’t sell l7 tank guns. I lengthened one or two meters. The extended l7 is not l7. In this way, I got rid of export restrictions.
Of course, the same is true for Haihongqi-7. It is not only used in large quantities in China, but also successfully sold it. It is just called fm-90 again. We are not selling Haihongqi-7, but we sell fm-90! How? The appearance looks like it? It is indeed like a dot, but we guarantee that the things inside are completely different.
Qin Tao had already thought of a plan. Lao Ba and Algeria had accepted frigates with this kind of air defense system installed, so there was no problem with exporting.
"It's so amazing. Today we saw a wonderful maritime target shooting." The big man was also sighing in the nautical bridge below: "We will also consider this air defense missile. What's next? Are there any other programs?"
"Yes, please continue to enjoy the next one." Wu Shengli said: "Now, call three missile boats 2208, 2209, 2210! The target ammunition launch boat continues to prepare to launch the second target bomb!"
The second target projectile?
The big man was very happy, and Nares was even more surprised: "When did your Navy be so rich?"
For the Chinese Navy, now is the most difficult time. After all, the country needs to develop its economy and the army needs to endure it.
It hurts enough to burn oil to go to sea. It is very luxurious to put a few shells occasionally. When firing a missile? How much does a missile cost? Who can bear to do it?
What about now?
Not only was a performance of the Sea Rattlesnake intercepting low-altitude sea-skipping missiles, but it also had to conduct an experiment of intercepting target missiles in the 022 missile boat?
Is this too extravagant?
