Warship of Great Power

Chapter 1242 Noor Missile VS Saar-5

This world is not peaceful.

The Mediterranean is like a big bathtub. Although it is also a sea, it does not have the rough waves of other oceans. It is usually calm and warships can sail safely in it.

So, when the Europeans launched the joint warship plan, it finally failed because the needs of different countries were different. The French and Italian navies mainly sailed in the Mediterranean and had low requirements for the hull. The British navy was bumping in the Atlantic all year round, and the bow was a piece of cake. Naturally, the warships were required to be stronger. Different needs had different design plans, and they could not reach an agreement at all.

At this time, in the southeast corner of the Mediterranean Sea, a small warship was sailing leisurely.

Its hull was only more than 80 meters long and had a total displacement of more than 1,000 tons. It was a piece of cake in the field of warships, but it was the most powerful warship of the David Navy. After all, they were all missile boats before, and now this one can be called a frigate!

Although it is small, its design is very advanced. It looks like the Lafayette class, full of modernity. At the same time, it is also equipped with various weapon systems, such as two quadruple Harpoon missiles for long-range anti-ship, 32-tube Barak missile vertical launch system for air defense, 2 MK32 triple torpedo tubes for anti-submarine, 2 25mm guns and "Phalanx" system for close defense. Even if it is a warship with a displacement of 2,000 tons, it is a bit cramped to install so many things, let alone the one in front of us.

With more weapons, the living space of personnel will inevitably be greatly compressed, so it uses automated devices to replace manual labor in many places, and most of the time it patrols near the coast, without worrying about supply issues.

This is the Saar-5 frigate of the David Navy. At this time, this one is the Hanit, which is a transliteration. If translated according to the meaning, it is the Spear.

It is of great significance to the David Navy, just like the Navy's spear.

Of course, in the era when it was born, that is, in the mid-1990s, it could indeed dominate this sea area, but now, this kind of warship is no longer enough.

However, the Davids are proud and still think that this kind of warship is invincible. After all, the opponents they are facing now are weaker.

"Humph, under our blockade, no ship can enter the port, trap them to death!" Captain Snir said proudly. He looked at the sea, which was wide and empty. No ship dared to go against them.

"Report, the radar has been working for more than 20 hours in a row. Do you want to shut down and rest?" At this time, the radar soldier asked.

"No, our radar can work continuously and does not need to rest." Snir said: "We must rely on radar to monitor the sea surface."

As soon as the voice fell, the radar screen was full of snowflakes.

"Report, radar failure."

"What are you waiting for? Go and repair it. Damn it, how could this radar developed by the military industrial company fail at a critical moment!" Snir couldn't help cursing.

"Yes." The radar soldier hurried to work, not realizing that the snow on the screen might not be broken, but might be interfered with!

Because of the task of blocking the port, the warship was only more than 20 kilometers away from the land. They did not notice that there were already several more vehicles somewhere on the land.

One of the vehicles had something like an orange peel, and another vehicle had a square long tube, which had been raised and pointed at the sea.

"No radar signal from the other party was detected. Under our interference, the other party has turned off the radar!"

"What are you waiting for? Let's do it, lock the target and launch missiles!"

"What kind of stealth warship? It's still locked by us!"

The appearance of the Saar-5 frigate is angular, the superstructure is at an angle with the waterline, and the exhaust device is cooled by seawater before being discharged. Although the displacement is more than 1,000 tons, the radar reflection area is about the same as that of a 100-ton boat, which is also the most proud of the David people.

However, this is not completely invisible. At such a close distance, it is easy to be caught. The next step is to open fire!

A few seconds later, a ball of flame rose up, and the red warhead went out first, followed by the milky white warhead. After flying forward for a while, it threw away the booster behind it, ignited the main engine, and flew towards the target close to the sea.

On the Hannett, the radar soldier was sweating profusely.

"The self-inspection of each component of the radar is normal, and there is no fault phenomenon. Could it be that the radar antenna is interfered with?"

"Then what are you waiting for, start the anti-interference means!"

After a lot of trouble, the snow on the screen finally disappeared, but a bright spot appeared clearly on the screen.

"There is still interference, damn, this radar is really unreliable." The radar soldier continued to complain.

He didn't know that this was not interference, this was the real thing!

At the tail of the warship, several sailors were busy recovering the helicopter. Although this warship is only about a thousand tons, it can still be equipped with a helicopter for anti-submarine and patrol work.

Now, the helicopter is about to return, and they have to unfold the recovery device. It is not easy to land such a small warship. Fortunately, the Mediterranean is calm and the warship is not shaking much.

One of the sailors wiped the sweat from his forehead and glanced at the sea. Then, he was stunned. Why was there a strange object on the sea? It was approaching at high speed... It was long and had wings. Was it a missile? A missile!

"Attention, missiles!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the missile flew towards them and hit the side of the ship hard.

Boom!

That's right, the sound was just a bang, not a blast, because anti-ship missiles use semi-armor-piercing warheads, which need to break open the target's outer steel plate and then explode after reaching the inner layer.

However, the Saar-5 frigate is only a light frigate after all, and the warship steel plate is too weak. According to the design of this flying anti-ship missile, it was intended to smash through several layers of steel plates, fly to the interior of the warship, and explode. However, before it could explode, the warhead had already penetrated the entire side and flew out from the other side. .

boom!

After flying out, the missile had just detonated. A huge fireball rose and all the sailors on the deck were thrown away. The flames burned fiercely at the tail of the entire warship. Then, it quickly spread forward and the aluminum alloy superstructure was ignited. Got it!

At that time, the British accepted the lessons of the Falklands War. They no longer dared to use aluminum alloy in the superstructure of warships and replaced them with cold steel. However, after entering the 1990s, many warships continued to use aluminum alloy. After all, aluminum alloy has It has great advantages, especially its lightness. For the Saar-5, with so many weapons installed on a thousand-ton frigate, the superstructure can only be made of aluminum alloy.

Once the aluminum alloy is ignited, it is hopeless!

Flames burned throughout the warship, and black smoke billowed. Then, the Barak anti-aircraft missile system in front exploded. In the huge explosion, the entire warship broke into two pieces and sank rapidly.

For a moment, the whole world was shocked. Although the world has not been peaceful in recent years, it has generally been a strong country fighting a weak country. There has been no evenly matched confrontation, and there has never been a warship sunk. This is the first time!

What sent this warship to the bottom of the sea?

The whole world is very curious and waiting for the investigation of the Kingdom of David.

The most important thing for the Kingdom of David is the air force. The naval power is not good to begin with. Now that a major warship has been sunk, it is definitely a strain. The cause of the accident must be investigated.

Soon, the Davidians announced the news to the outside world.

"A Nuer anti-ship missile was launched locally. In order to avoid accidental damage, our warship turned off its air defense radar, so it was suddenly attacked and did not respond in time. If it was really during a war, it would never have happened. In this situation, our Buck anti-ship missiles will easily intercept this anti-ship missile!”

The Davidians were very annoyed, but they also knew that they had to cover it up. If people knew that their military products were not good and the signboard was smashed, they would not be able to sell weapons in the future.

However, this kind of cover-up behavior cannot escape the eyes of the world at all. If it doesn't work, it just won't work. Why do you need so many reasons?

Zhang Zhong was very excited and did a program that day.

"There are many ways to identify friend or foe now, and the sky there belongs to the Davidians. There is no need for them to turn off the air defense radar to avoid accidental damage. In the end, they were attacked. For a country that often fights wars, this is simply Impossible, so the biggest reason is not that the air defense radar was turned off, but that the air defense radar did not detect the incoming anti-ship missile at all!"

"According to the Davidians, the incoming missile is a Nur anti-ship missile. At a distance of more than 20 kilometers, it can fly at a height of about two meters above sea level after taking off. The Mediterranean Sea is very calm, and it can even fly About one meter, and the radar on the Saar-5 warship cannot effectively detect such a target. After all, its radar is very simple. The two EL/M-2228 radars on the main mast are mainly used for fire control. Radar, the EL/M-2218S E/F band radar on the rear mast is mainly used for air search and does not have the ability to filter ocean clutter.”

"Integrating a large number of weapons and equipment into such a small warship is inherently a very difficult task. You have to make choices. The Davidians oversimplified the radar system, which led to tragedy." Zhang Zhong said That's called a splash of spitting stars.

"Looking at it now, their best way is to upgrade the radar, especially the EL/M-2248 phased array radar they sold to Asan. It can be installed with three sides on the front mast and one side on the rear mast. This creates a The layout of the four-sided active phased array radar also creates a miracle. This will be the smallest ship in the world equipped with a solid-state active phased array radar. "

Snapped!

Hook-nosed turned off the TV with an angry look on his face.

"Damn it, how could this Oriental know about our modification plan? Did one of us leak the secret?"

"This person is just making random guesses, which are exactly the same as our plan."

After this incident, the Davidians must of course find ways to avoid similar things from happening. The best way is to upgrade the radar. The most suitable radar is the radar system exported to Asan. But they don’t know that they have just planned it. Well, the people in the East found out about it, and it was the same Zhang Zhong who had been making waves in the media.

How to play this? If they really changed it, wouldn't it prove that Zhang Zhong was right? If they didn't change it, their warships would really have flaws.

"This kind of warship is too small. We need to have a more powerful navy, otherwise we will not be able to cope with the deteriorating situation!"

"We simply don't have that much money. The original cost of building this kind of warship was US$400 million. If the displacement is expanded, the price will soar. Our military expenditure is tight, and we have to give priority to supplying the air force."

For the people of David, no matter what they do next, they will be punished by others.

However, for them, these are secondary, the key is what to do in the future? When will their disadvantage be reversed?

Parthia.

"It's great. After this attack, the whole world should know that our Parthian country has powerful and advanced anti-ship missiles!" Hosseini said excitedly.

"Yes, it is indeed very good, but the Nuer anti-ship missile is still too weak and can only deal with a frigate of several thousand tons. If we can buy a supersonic anti-ship missile from the East and then imitate one, then That’s even better.”

The Nuer anti-ship missile is an imitation of Dongfang's C802 missile. Although it still achieves good results, it is an outdated weapon after all. They need more advanced anti-ship missiles, and their Parthian country has If they want to buy from the powerful national defense industry, they must be able to produce it themselves, that is to say, buy it together with the production line!

"That's right, just one of Dongfang's C803 missiles can kill a 10,000-ton warship. The performance of our C802 is still a little worse. We need better anti-ship missiles!" Salami said.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go to the East and see if Mr. Qin can export advanced anti-ship missile technology to us."

The first thing they thought of was Qin Tao! After all, in their eyes, Qin from Mingzhou Group is always their best friend!

So, riding on the east wind of victory, a group of Parthian people came to the east and came to the Mingzhou Group.

"Mr. Qin, it's a pleasure to meet you. You must have heard about the recent battles in the Mediterranean, right?" Hosseini is very direct. With a good friend like Mr. Qin, there is no need to play tricks.

"Well, I heard about it." Qin Tao said, "Your Nuer missiles are really powerful."

"Yes, I have to thank Mr. Qin for this missile. Without your technical support..."

"Wait a minute, this has nothing to do with us. The Noor missile is produced by you. Even if the appearance is similar to our C802, it is just a resemblance. Ours is also very similar to the Exocet missile."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Qin is right." Salami quickly agreed: "Mr. Qin, our Nuer missile has advanced performance, but its power is still a little inferior. We need a missile that can kill 10,000-ton warships, or even Advanced anti-ship missiles for aircraft carriers.”

Xu Zhengyang lamented on the sidelines that Mr. Qin's inference was so accurate. These people had achieved results and felt unsatisfied. They even hoped to obtain a powerful weapon to counterattack the aircraft carrier!

"Yes, if you want to attack aircraft carriers, you must have supersonic anti-ship missiles. Your YJ-12 is very good, but I don't know if it can be exported to us?"

Although Qin Tao also said before that the YJ-62, YJ-12 and the like can be sold for money, the Navy does not agree. After all, the YJ-12 is still a big killer in the navy's equipment sequence. But you can't just give it to others.

However, the Eagle Strike-62 is no problem.

At that time, although the Navy had the YJ-81, it had a short range and weak power, and had long been outdated. The Navy was in urgent need of advanced missiles to attack large warships, so technicians quickly developed the YJ-62.

The appearance of this missile breaks away from the style of the Exocet and is very similar to the Tomahawk missile. In the middle is a slender, straight-shaped large-chord aspect ratio missile body, which looks like a small aircraft and is convenient for cruising at low-altitude subsonic speeds.

The front of the warhead is oval, the middle is cylindrical, and the tail is a truncated cone. At the same time, there is a cross-shaped wing on the tail. When taking off from the ground and warships, a solid rocket booster is also added. The important features of this missile are its large size, strong power and long range.

However, the YJ-62 was born at the wrong time. By the time this missile was equipped with the Navy, the YJ-12 and YJ-18 had both come out. The Navy liked the new and disliked the old. The YJ-62 was eliminated after only a few warships were equipped. Naturally, it can be promoted to the international market.

As for the YJ-12, it cannot be exported for the time being. The Navy still regards this missile as a treasure.

"Yes, there is also C 803. It is said that this kind of missile played a role in this maritime exercise. One missile sank a 10,000-ton warship. It was so fierce!"

"Everyone, in order to satisfy the export market, we have specially developed an anti-ship missile similar to the anti-ship Tomahawk. Are you interested?"

"What missile?"

"Code-named C602, the characteristic of this missile is that it is large. Its warhead weighs three hundred kilograms. With just one missile, it can easily destroy warships of more than 10,000 tons."

The overall weight of many Western anti-ship missiles is less than 300 kilograms, and the Harpoon missile is only about 500 kilograms. Now, the warhead of this Eastern missile alone has reached 300 kilograms!

"As for the range, due to export restrictions, the range of our missiles will be controlled at 290 kilometers. However, this missile adopts a modular design and can be matched with different fuel tanks. What changes will be made when it is in the hands of customers? We can control it.”

The most effective way to increase the range of a missile is to increase fuel. This is very simple. The so-called modular design is just to lengthen the missile body and use a larger fuel tank to increase the endurance. Although the range cannot be doubled, it can reach four to five hundred Kilometers are still no problem.

For the Parthians, the key issue is not how far it can fly, but how far their guidance system can guide it. The basic model of 290 kilometers is enough for them.

Long range, great power, what else can I say, buy it!

"Mr. Qin, we not only want to buy missiles, but also production lines."

"No problem, I will help you contact."

"Mr. Qin, our foreign exchange may not be sufficient."

"It doesn't matter, as long as there is oil, we can come directly by land."

After the construction of Gwadar Port, the oil pipeline and railway were connected. It is completely possible to travel by land from the oil production area to the country, avoiding the uncertainty of long sea transportation.
