Chapter 803 Standard 2 Interception
As an escort warship, the standard air defense missiles on the Arkansas are not ready to be launched at any time! At the same time, the radar on the warship has not captured the target so far!
SPS-48A three-coordinate-to-air alert radar, SPS-40B two-coordinate-to-air radar, SPS-55 sea search radar, and various radars are constantly searching, but for missiles flying up against the sea, the distance they find will not exceed twenty kilometers!
"Start missiles, launch missiles!" The officer on duty shouted loudly without waiting to capture the target.
Although the standard missile is a dual-arm launch device, in this case, it is too late to wait until the radar searches for the target and then launches the missile! The supersonic anti-ship missile has only one interception window left for its own side!
So, launch the missile in advance and attack immediately after capturing the opponent's missile! After all, the range of the standard missile is more than 70 kilometers! It is enough to fly in the air for a period of time!
At the tail of the huge cruiser, two standard missiles dragged the flames and left the launcher one by one. Two shiny light belts were drawn out in the dark night sky.
At the same time, after these two missiles were launched, the automatic loading mechanism below worked immediately and reinstalled the reserved missiles, and everything went very quickly.
"Discover the target, discover the target, the distance is thirty! Get ready to lock!" On the Arkansas, the radar officer shouted loudly. In just a few dozen seconds, the opponent had already flew to a distance of thirty kilometers! At this time, the atmosphere inside the warship was very tense, and it was a race against time! Although there was no rain of bullets, it was even more thrilling!
"The radar has been locked, and the data link is connected to the standard missile!" The operator of the SPS-51 fire control radar shouted loudly. He just fired two standard missiles and flew over the sky! He could just intercept the opponent!
If it were in the past, the US Navy's air defense missiles could not intercept supersonic aircraft at all. However, the Soviet MiG-25 gave the Americans great excitement. Their fighter jets could not fly to the double-three indicators, so they could only work on air defense missiles, overcome various technical difficulties, and successfully developed air defense missiles to intercept supersonic aircraft.
Standard missiles are an important regional air defense missile for the US Navy. The task of intercepting supersonic MiG-25 fighter jets is the Standard 2 missile.
So now, using this kind of missile to intercept the rapidly flying anti-ship missiles in the sea, is also of this ability! The highly nervous shooter, with a slight trembling finger, twitching various switches, quickly guiding the missiles.
Time is calculated in seconds!
"One intercepting successfully!" The operator of the search radar looked at the radar screen of its own side. A shiny highlight disappeared and couldn't help but shout loudly. Just over a distance of 25 kilometers, its standard 2 missile successfully intercepted an anti-ship missile!
However, the trajectory of the second missile crossed the target! The second interception failed!
One of the six missiles that flew over was intercepted, and now, there are still five left!
"Quick, the second round of standard missiles!" the commander continued to shout.
"No, it's too late!" At this moment, the captain wearing underwear hurriedly ran up: "Dense array, intercept immediately! The naval gun attacks immediately! The left helm!"
By the time the standard missile is ignited, launched and accelerated, the interception opportunity has been lost! Supersonic anti-ship missiles have always been so domineering! Only the final interception method of dense arrays is left!
As the last barrier, the dense array system relies on a large number of projectiles to kill, but now it is only the BLOCK0 type of dense array, that is, the basic type, which can only intercept non-skipping sea flights, subsonic speed, and no maneuverability anti-ship missiles!
When it comes to the Block1A type, it has more powerful search and tracking capabilities, and can intercept various high subsonic speeds, sea-skipping flights and maneuverable anti-ship missiles.
The Block1B model continues to be improved, adding photoelectric searchers, using optimized gun barrels and more devastating ammunition, etc.
It has higher ability to confront the targets of sea-skipping flights, improving the ability to combat air in complex environments.
Almost at the same time, several nearby destroyers had already locked incoming missiles with radar, and standard missiles flew out of the warship and rushed towards the target.
Unfortunately, it's too late!
At this time, the anti-ship missiles flying over the sea, fifteen kilometers away from the target, had already started maneuvering flight! Supersonic speed would have brought serious tests to the opponent's air defense system. The air defense system with insufficient response could not intercept the supersonic anti-ship missile at all. Now, when this missile maneuvered in S-type, all the air defense missiles that flew over lost their targets!
"Boom!" At this moment, a shining fire broke out from the sea. It was a high-speed flying sunburning missile that was intercepted again!
There are still four of the six anti-ship missiles left! The second intercepted missile was purely transported by ****!
The distance is ten kilometers! At this distance, it is too late to launch missiles!
Amid the stimulating current, the dense array system of six tubes began to spew out countless projectiles! At this time, with the order from the left rudder, the huge Arkansas drew a graceful arc on the sea, using its wide hull to block the back of its own fleet. It was using itself to protect the aircraft carrier of the formation! This is the unshirkable responsibility of escorting the warships!
At the same time, when it turns, it can just allow the dense array system on one side to have a good shooting range! The recent anti-ship missile has already flown within range!
Intercept, intercept! The gun barrels of the dense array system kept coming out, and projectiles flew out one by one, forming a dense barrage at the sea. However, in the eyes of the Sun-Raining Missile, it was still too slow! It could not keep up with the missiles that were undergoing the last maneuvering flight!
Perhaps its interception stimulated the flying Sunburst anti-ship missile. The missile gave up the target it had set before and rushed towards the huge nuclear-powered warship Arkansas!
The other three sun-roasted missiles drew a beautiful curve on the sea and actually bypassed the Arkansso!
