Chapter 50 Rocket Anti-Submarine Deep Bomb Launch

The sky in the east first turned white and then began to turn red. On the distant sea, a red sun slowly rose and a new day came.

The blue sky is floating with white clouds, it is a good weather!

On the sea, the confrontation between warships was still ongoing. Last night, the harassment of active sonar was initiated. Most of the people on duty were resting. Today, the sailors were full of energy.

Irichi looked at the American destroyer No. 866 not far from the sea. Today, the other party was still very close to him. It seemed that it would be another passionate day.

After eating a box of canned fish, Irichi, standing on the bridge, issued the first order: "Accelerate, right full rudder, we use black smoke to entertain our American friends."

The east wind was blowing at this time. When the Tashkent accelerated, the dark smoke from the chimney fell on the American ship behind, allowing the other party to usher in the black smoke, which was very refreshing.

With Irichi's order, the heavy oil boiler at the tail began to burn violently. As the injection of oil increased, the incomplete exhaust gas burned through the chimney, thick black smoke and dust came out, floating behind it, and the volume became larger and larger.

"Damn the Soviets!" Fektler, who had just washed his face and stood on the bridge, suddenly felt a little choking in his throat. In an instant, he wanted to activate the warship's three-defense system.

Looking at the Soviet warship in front of him, Fektler couldn't help but laugh in his heart, Soviet people, your prototype will appear in a while!

The measuring ship continued to measure and gradually drove to the south at a speed of fifteen knots.

Suddenly, a surveying boat stopped and seemed to have discovered something.

"Their sonar has increased its intensity." The sonar soldiers of the Tashkent couldn't help but report when they heard the signals from the other party's measuring ship.

The second measuring ship also stopped to measure, and then changed another direction. Irichi, who was standing on the bridge, had already understood that the other party must be conducting triangular positioning!

"Note that RBU-1200 is loaded and enters the launch state!" Ilyich said: "The depth is 800 meters."

The seabed here is 850 meters. Detonating at a depth of 800 meters can have the best effect. When the two RBU-1200s on the bow are launched, they will cover a certain area and will definitely destroy the underwater fighter jets!

Hearing Ilyich's orders, the sailors acted quickly, carrying the RGB-12 anti-submarine deep bomb and stuffing it into the five-unit launcher in front.

The Soviet Union had a long history of using rockets. The Katyusha rockets in World War II made the Nazis frightened.

The anti-submarine deep bombs equipped on the Soviet anti-submarine warships can be traced back to World War II. In order to jointly fight against the Nazis, the US Allied forces leased some anti-submarine ships to the Soviet Navy, which were equipped with "mouse trap" anti-submarine rocket launchers.

This is a simple truss 4-connected anti-submarine rocket launcher composed of parallel guide rails. When used, support the trusses at a fixed elevation angle of 48°. When not used, fold the trusses and can be placed flat on the deck.

Anti-submarine rockets use rocket boosts to simplify the launch device. When an explosion is underwater at a certain depth, even if it is not directly blown up to the submarine, the surging sea water caused by the violent explosion and the huge sound will kill enemy submarines and cause a strong shock to the spirit of the crew. The Soviet Navy appreciates this device very much.

After World War II, the Soviet Navy improved and improved on the basis of the original "Match Trap" anti-submarine rocket launcher and developed a series of anti-submarine deep bombs. Among them, RBU is the anti-submarine rocket deep bomb launcher system. The abbreviation of the Russian anti-submarine rocket deep bomb launcher device spelled by Latin letters. The Ala number behind it represents the range, in meters. For example, the range of this RBU-1200 is 1,200 meters. Of course, depending on the usage method, the farthest can be thrown to 1,450 meters.

This RBU system is mainly used for the aiming and launch of RGB anti-submarine rocket deep bombs, and gives it its initial elevation angle and flight direction.

RGB is an anti-submarine rocket deep bomb, which is a medium-range, short-range uncontrolled anti-submarine rocket. There is almost no possibility of hitting the target directly. It mainly uses the high-explosive warhead to set depth detonation underwater to generate shock waves to kill the submarine. Through short-term continuous launch, a "carpet"-style saturation attack can be formed on the target.

In later generations, the United States quickly abandoned this anti-submarine rocket and mainly used advanced torpedoes to fight the submarine. The Soviet Union and China vigorously developed these systems, not only for anti-submarine, but also for anti-torpedoes, achieving the goal of protecting themselves.

Looking at the American destroyer accompanying him on the side, Ilyich had a smile on his face. American, look at my awesomeness!

"Aim, launch!" shouted Irichi.

With Irichi's command, the five-unit launch tubes of the RBU-1200 system in front began to rise under the power system. The five launch tubes were divided into two upper and lower layers, three upper layers and one left and right sides of the lower layers. The weight was 430 kilograms. After the aiming was completed, the operator pressed the button.

"Swish, swish." As the rocket ignited, black smoke came out from behind the launch tube, and the RGB-12 rocket dragging the flames had already flown into the sky.

The explosion depth of this kind of rocket was only 300 meters, after all, the diving depth of conventional submarines generally did not exceed 300 meters. In order to perform this mission, these rockets have been improved, with a maximum explosion depth of more than 1,000 meters. When loading, the explosion depth was set to 800 meters.

In order to prevent the launch of these deep rocket bombs from causing misunderstandings to the Americans, the Tashkent frigate is ready, and the naval guns will rotate at any time to aim at the American warship. If the other side dares to attack on their own, it will be the beginning of the battle!

The launch of two RBU-1200 systems and ten anti-submarine deep bombs made the entire Tashkent frigate shrouded in smoke, and the rockets dragging the tongue of fire flew forward quickly, dragging the tongue of fire in the air. The scene was so spectacular.

After flying in the air for dozens of seconds, these rockets drilled into the water at a predetermined range of 1,100 meters. At this time, the American measuring ship had left, and the salvage ship had not yet arrived, which happened to be a gap.

It is impossible for the Americans to salvage our Soviet new fighter jets! You miscalculated! Ilyich looked at the American warship on the side and was obviously shocked. He couldn't help but feel extremely heroic, which hit the ambitions of American imperialism again!
