MTL - Warship of Great Power-Chapter 651 add drama

  Chapter 651 Extra play

   "This is really a boring flight!" Sitting in the cockpit of J-15, Zhang Yongchao couldn't help complaining.

  In the past few years, naval exercises have become closer to actual combat. Pilots can better exert their subjective initiative without listening to the guidance of the ground. Their naval aviation has been unshackled.

   But now? It has no meaning at all to fly strictly in accordance with the prescribed speed, altitude and heading.

  In comparison, he likes the J-31A even more. That plane is a stealth plane and cannot be seen on the radar screen, which means he can do whatever he wants!

  If he flies that plane, he will turn to ultra-low altitude after approaching the target, launch missiles secretly, and catch the opponent by surprise!

   It's just that I don't know if the J-31A will launch missiles this time? Judging from the bomb bay inside that kind of aircraft, anti-ship missiles are enough to fit in, and only bombs can be mounted.

  With this kind of boredom, he looked down, but he couldn't find the target at all. It looked black. He didn't expect that he could do so well in the sky.

  The formation continues to move forward.

  In 052C, the atmosphere is also highly tense.

   "Attention, mobilize 1000 T/R components, according to the target search provided by the meter wave radar, we must determine the precise data of that aircraft!" Here, the captain of 052C also held back his energy.

Although the performance of the warship was tested this time, it has nothing to do with their captain's command, but the captains have to compare and compete with each other. These two brand new destroyers are selected from the whole army. Carefully selected, these are naval elites, no one will obey anyone, and they must show their best abilities.

  How did you say that sentence? It is still people who decide the final outcome of a war. They must bring out their subjective initiative. They can do a better job than technicians because they are the actual operators of warships!

   Meter wave radar can detect stealth aircraft, but it can only find a vague shadow. This is because the accuracy of meter wave radar itself is not high, and the error is often one or two kilometers, so it can only detect.

  Discovery is the first step. If you can’t even do the discovery, let alone the follow-up.

   As for what to do after discovery, there are many countermeasures.

  For example, one meter wave radar is not accurate enough, but multiple radars can be networked, which is like differential GPS, which greatly improves the accuracy and can meet the guidance needs of missiles.

  For another example, after finding the general direction, you can use phased array radar! As long as more beams are gathered in the past, stealth aircraft may be discovered.

   It is not that the stealth aircraft does not reflect radar waves, but only reflects very little, such as only reflecting back 1%, so that the radar cannot distinguish the weak echoes. However, what if more radar waves are provided? For example, the intensity of radar waves has increased by a hundred times! Doesn't this make the stealth machine show its original shape?

  The fourth-generation aircraft must be equipped with a phased array radar, which is to facilitate the convergence of a large number of radar beams when needed to find stealth aircraft.

   Now, the captain of 052C also intends to use this method.

   This is the stealth aircraft's first simulated attack, and it is also their first anti-stealth aircraft!

  The Tao is one foot tall and the devil is ten feet tall. Who will win?

  Even Qin Tao is full of expectations.

There are 5,000 T/R components on the 346 radar. Now it is a big deal to mobilize 1,000 to scan the airspace where the stealth aircraft is located. However, they still have the remaining T/R components to lock other aircraft and search the airspace. There is also the search of the 517 radar, they are more than capable.

However, the 052B will not work. The phased array radar behind it needs to rotate and search. At this time, it changes from rotating to a fixed state, trying to search for the stealth aircraft between the first batch of formations. However, it's not easy.

Even the 052C's phased array radar already knows the general direction of the target and provides information to the phased array radar, but it has not accurately measured the target of the stealth aircraft. The 052B can only search blindly, so how can it accurately find the target? Come out with all kinds of data?

   "Our stealth aircraft is really powerful." Wu Shengli said: "Although the meter wave radar has discovered it, the phased array radar still cannot lock it."

"This is because the search principle is different." Qin Tao said: "The stealth machine only has a good stealth effect in the microwave band. In the meter wave band, the special shape of the surface of the stealth machine and the stealth coating have no Significance. However, discovery is still related to distance. When the stealth aircraft flies close, it can always be discovered. I believe in the combination of our meter wave radar and phased array radar.”

   "Report, I found a large number of targets flying from the port side, at an altitude of 10,000 meters." At this time, the radar soldiers began to report again.

   Another batch of targets coming from another direction!

It is the main task of the air defense ship to accurately track and locate each target and analyze the threat level. With the increase of targets, the pressure on the air defense system will also increase. Qin Tao seems to have heard the computer system The cooling fan inside started to start, indicating that the work of the computer became more tense.

   On the other side, on the 052B destroyer, the captain clenched his fists angrily: "Damn it, are we still unable to find the target?"

   "Yes, we couldn't find it, and the 052C didn't pinpoint the target. The stealth characteristics of the target are very good."

   "Okay, let's give up and continue to rotate the radar." The captain said.

  He couldn't continue to do useless work. After the radar rotated, the target flying from the port side was also monitored.

   "The distance is three hundred, and the number of targets is thirty-six."

Their radar could have found these targets at a distance of 400 kilometers, because the captain stubbornly wanted to detect the stealth aircraft. As a result, they discovered the second batch of targets late, but they were discovered at a distance of 300 kilometers , It is still reasonable, the farthest detection distance of the radar of many warships is like this.

   "Let our four small shields work at full power." The captain continued.

Since the C-band is used, the farthest search distance of these four small shields is only 200 kilometers. Now, as the target keeps approaching, it will soon be the turn of these four small shields to work. They are not only responsible for searching, When needed, it can also be used as a target to illuminate the radar and guide the Hongqi-9 missile.

  The goal will soon be close to 200 kilometers. At that time, the four small shields will play a better role, and it will definitely outperform 052C!

The reason is also very simple, because the four small shields are installed at a higher position, so in theory, ultra-low-altitude targets flying close to the sea can be detected earlier. After all, in modern warfare, anti-ship missiles flying at ultra-low altitudes that skim the sea is the biggest threat.

   "Report, we are experiencing electromagnetic interference!"

   "Initiate anti-interference measures immediately!"

  On 052C, Qin Tao looked at Wu Shengli with some surprise: "The navy is adding drama to us again?"

  When planning, there was no such link! What is the sudden electromagnetic interference?

  Wu Shengli nodded: "Among the targets flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters, there are electronic jammers. This is also to imitate actual combat as much as possible."

  Qin Tao smiled: "I think the navy has malicious intentions, and probably arranged other tricks."

  Wu Shengli did not speak, but smiled.

"However, no matter what threats we face, we can deal with them calmly. How can we be afraid of small electromagnetic interference? In a while, it's better to give us some more targets, say a hundred, preferably two hundred One, three hundred."

  Wu Shengli smiled and said nothing.

  Jamming and anti-jamming have long been the main subjects of the military's electromagnetic countermeasures. Of course, warships are also equipped with a special countermeasure system. After activation, the snowflakes on the screen disappeared, and the air defense system resumed normal operation.

   "The high-altitude target has approached two hundred kilometers, and no abnormalities have been found." The radar soldier reported calmly.

  High-altitude and mid-altitude targets have been firmly captured, but low-altitude targets have never been found. This is because due to the influence of the curvature of the earth, the detection distance of low-altitude targets by warship radars will be very short. Surface ships can detect sea-skimming anti-ship missiles at a distance of no more than 40 kilometers, and many can only be about 30 kilometers away. Anti-aircraft missiles only have one chance to intercept them. If they fail, they can only approach the anti-aircraft guns.

   (There is a specific statement that the length of the horizon is found to be only 40 kilometers for a 100-meter-high antenna. It really doesn’t count.)

   "The target is found ahead, at an altitude of 200 meters, and a distance of 80 kilometers!" Suddenly, the radar soldier shouted.

  Generally speaking, the two sides of the warship are easy to attack, and the front and rear target projections are too small. Who would have thought that the Navy would not let go of any place during the test, and even the front came out!

   "Attention, the missile silo is open, ready to launch missiles!"

  An anti-ship missile flying from a low altitude found that the distance was short, and it would soon approach the predetermined interception area, so it must not be taken lightly.

   "Report, the target is lost, it should be turned into an ultra-low altitude."

It is also impossible for a sea-skimming missile to fly across the sea. For example, after launching, it flies at a height of 200 meters. After seeing the target, it dives down and flies at a height of 20 meters. At a height of five meters, it depends on the conditions of the waves.

  At this moment, these fleeting targets must be the ones who really launched the attack!

   "It should be our batch of 022 missile boats that launched the Eagle 83 target missile." Qin Tao immediately made an analysis.

It was found at 80 kilometers, maybe it was launched one or two hundred kilometers away. This is definitely not the Eagle 81, but the Eagle 83. These missiles are about the same size and can be carried by 022 missile boats. In the inner sea, missile boats can come and go freely, use the information from the data link of other equipment, and leave after launching the missile.

  Wu Shengli smiled and didn't say much.

  His smile made Qin Tao more vigilant: "Could it be mixed with Eagle Strike-12, right? That thing hasn't matured yet, right? The old man's sunburn? The modern level is not here!"

The Eagle Strike-12 project has been going on for many years, and the warships introduced by the Navy are still waiting for this kind of missile to be installed, so as not to always carry empty anti-ship missile launch boxes. However, the progress of this kind of missile has not so fast.

  052B is not all sloppy, it was discovered almost at the same time as 052C, and lost the target at the same time. However, they also saw the target dive before losing it.

   Stand tall and see far, this is the eternal truth.

   "It seems that they want to attack us by ultra-low-altitude sea-skimming flight. Immediately open the cover of the missile silo and prepare to launch missiles at any time!"

  In this test, they not only have to compare who has discovered more, who has discovered faster, but also who has shot down more targets!

The two warships are sailing in formation at this time, and the distance between the left and right is about one kilometer, and the distance between the front and rear is also about one kilometer, so that the targets in the front, back, left, and left are not easily blocked by their companions. Farther forward, their radars are mounted higher, so in theory, they should be able to spot targets first and then attack.

   "Beware of our rear!" Suddenly, Qin Tao thought of something and shouted loudly.

  They came from the south, all the way to the exercise sea area, and encountered a large number of targets just after they came up. Now, there are left, right and front. What about the rear?

  Will there be a fatal move behind it?

"If the incoming missiles are Eagle-83, then we only need to attack from the front. After turning to sea skimming, we will find them in two minutes. However, if there are one or two pony bombs among the incoming missiles In other words, the situation is different, this kind of missile flies faster, and it can completely circle around the back of one's own side at the same time, and when the frontal interception is cool, the rear will suddenly attack fiercely."

In order to avoid damage to the warship, it is set that when the incoming missiles fly to the distance of 20 kilometers from the warship, they have already reached the end of the range. In other words, their interception window is also very narrow. If it is found at a distance of 1,000 kilometers, the missile can only be intercepted by launching the missile at the distance from 30 to 20. Otherwise, even if it fails, the near-anti-aircraft guns and the like are not included at all. After all, the measurement is interception Ability, there can be no fish that slip through the net.

   "A high-altitude target launched a missile!"

  Looking at the bright spots separated by high-altitude bright spots on the screen, the radar soldier shouted: "Five fighters launched ten missiles!"

   "The navy has spent enough money this time, and the pilots have also had a good time." Qin Tao said with emotion.

  The navy rarely has such a luxury, and it has launched 20 missiles in the sky. How much are these 20 missiles?

  Many pilots have spent half their lives flying without ever having the chance to launch a missile.

   However, the people in the sky don't think so.

Zhang Yongchao was sitting in the cockpit, looking at the white smoke trails in the sky. It was already dozens of degrees below zero outside, so after the missile flew out, the water vapor evaporated from the tail would quickly liquefy, forming this beautiful The wake of it, however, doesn't make much sense.

   Mechanically prepare, lock on the target, launch, then the fuselage shakes, the missile is detached from the pylon, and it's over.

  From the beginning to the end, it is no different from training.

  That stealth plane should do something bolder, right?

  Thinking of this, he looked down.

  The stealth plane should be flying at an altitude of 18,000 meters. Where is the stealth plane now?

  Through the white trail, what he saw was the vast sky, and there was no shadow of the J-31A at all, and the voice of the lead plane came from the earphone.

   "Attention, the mission is completed, and the formation returns."

  So, he had no choice but to push the stick and rudder, and return with the formation. He glanced at the distant sky for the last time, and his heart was full of unwillingness. However, he did not dare to disobey the order. After training for so long, he was waiting to board the aircraft carrier. If he disobeyed the order, he would be banned from flying. It's troublesome.

   "Report, the high-altitude target returned after launching the missile, and the stealth target flew together with the missile group."

   "This stealth plane must have another mission. In other words, it won't obey orders and can act without authorization. It is estimated that a mad dog is on it."

This time, Wu Shengli no longer just kept smiling, he nodded: "That's right, when selecting pilots, Delano insisted on participating, and he even said that if he didn't fly this stealth plane, then he He will not be an instructor in the future, he will go to Europe."

  Qin Tao smiled: "This guy won't leave. We have J-15 and J-31A, both of which are his favorite fighters. Even if we chase him away now, he won't leave."

  The mission of the American instructors has ended. They have cultivated a complete carrier-based aircraft force for the East and trained aircraft carrier personnel. If they want to leave, they are completely free to leave, but they are not willing.

   Here, I can continue to play. After leaving Dongfang, where can I find heavy carrier-based aircraft? Where can I find a carrier-based stealth machine? Besides, many of them can't go out, only the East is the safest, if they go out, they may die.

  Draenor is just a threat, but why doesn't the navy know that it is a threat, and even if it is a threat, it must meet their requirements.

  Draenor, the mad dog, will make this test closer to actual combat.

   Right in the middle of the exchange, two minutes have passed.

   "Report, found the target! The distance is 30 kilometers, and the height is 15 meters!"

   "Lock the attack immediately!"

"yes!"

   A moment later, there was a bang on the bow of the 052C destroyer, and countless fragments flew randomly. It was because the missile broke through the fragile cover.

Although the missile is placed in the silo, the silo also has a cover, which has been opened, but the cover is not very well sealed. Therefore, the round launch tube where the missile is stored has a cover. You can watch the hoisting video. The missile is hoisted together with the launch tube, which is sealed and has a fragile cover on it.

  When firing, the cover will be broken and the projectile will come out.

  The cone-shaped bullet came out first, and the milky white bullet looked very beautiful, followed by the projectile body. In contrast, the projectile body was slightly darker in color, like a hibiscus emerging from water.

  Wait, why is there a trace of blackening in the middle of the projectile body? I can't even read the red model number on it.

  Qin Tao and others stood on the Cambridge and watched the missile fly out intently. The missile continued to rise, revealing four small single wings at the tail.

  At this time, the tail of the missile did not make any movement. The missile was just flying upwards by inertia, flying obliquely upwards. It could be seen with the naked eye that it had a certain inclination, and it flew to a height of more than ten meters in an instant, and it completely left the deck.

  The broken top cover flew beside it, looking very spectacular.

  Suddenly, a flame appeared from the tail of the missile, and the flame quickly turned into white smoke, and the missile began to accelerate!

  It only sprinted up for a short distance before turning around. The trail clearly showed its movement. It completed a nearly ninety-degree turn and rushed towards the target!

   "Although our Hongqi-16 missile is small, it is not so fast. This is the credit of the gas rudder." Qin Tao said: "The improvement direction of Hongqi-16..."

   Having said that, Qin Tao shut up again. What should I do if I say something else to stimulate my wife's desire for research and development?

Qin Tao knows that the ultimate improvement direction of Hongqi-16 is such a polished bomb, gas rudder, and the range finally soared to 160 kilometers, which is even worse than the current Hongqi 9. However, these are all things in the future, Hongqi The -16 can fly to a range of 70 kilometers, which is already very good. See how far the European Aster 30 can fly?

   Not compared with the United States, but compared with Europe, it has far surpassed European technology.

Vertical launch is not like the slanted arm launcher, which can directly point to the target. The vertical launch missile must first fly into the sky, and the rudder surface will be effective when it accelerates, so that it can drive the missile body to deflect. If it is dealing with close-range sea skimming targets, This will obviously delay the fighter.

   If you want to turn as soon as possible, you have to use the gas rudder to directly deflect the exhaust gas of the engine, so as to drive the projectile to deflect. However, this technique is not simple, and not everyone can handle it.

   Over the years, the R&D team of Hongqi-9 has worked hard and overcome one problem after another, finally making this missile mature.

  After the first missile was ignited, the second and third missiles continued to fly out of the silo.

   I don’t know if the pilot is enjoyable, but the anti-aircraft destroyer is definitely enjoyable.

   Not only the front deck of 052C, but also the 052B is an equally spectacular scene, just like setting off fireworks, missiles are continuously launched and fly into the sky.

  According to the test requirements, after they find the target, they can launch interceptor bombs. Whoever fires the target will win.

  So, instead of firing two salvos, they only fired one, and two warships fired missiles at the same time, that is, two missiles intercepted one target.

   This fireworks show cost a lot of money!

  According to the original plan, there are 20 targets that need to be intercepted. In this limit, two warships can launch 40 missiles. How much is this?

  Even if the cost price is 100,000 pieces, this is 4 million yuan. Adding the target bombs, this test cost tens of millions! (It is said that the takeaway to the old bus is 100,000 US dollars a piece, the price for personal use is cheaper, but I think it is too cheap, 100,000 yuan, a short-range air-to-air missile can’t be bought.)

   "First hit!" An excited voice came from 052B.
