Warship of Great Power

The speed of the 1130 rapid-fire gun's shells leaving the muzzle is 1250 meters per second, which means it flies more than a thousand meters per second. If you intercept a target flying three kilometers away, it will take three seconds for the shells to arrive. For an incoming target flying at a speed of Mach 3, three seconds can also move two or three kilometers!

Of course, these two or three kilometers are mainly for rushing towards the warship, and the horizontal movement distance may be a few hundred meters, but even a few hundred meters will bring huge errors.

If the target position is not calculated in advance, even a firing rate of 10,000 rounds per minute is not enough! What's more, there are only 2,500 rounds of ammunition in reserve.

Putting the target closer before intercepting can reduce the target's maneuvering range, but at the same time, it also means greater danger: even if the interception is successful and the target is blown up, the fragments may surge towards the warship and hit it! Modern warships are built of thin steel plates and may not be able to withstand such attacks.

The fire control system is calculating rapidly, and the next second, all preparations are completed.

"Fire!"

"Buzz... Boom... Boom... Boom!"

The 1130 close-in weapon system is a ship gun driven by external energy, so it must first be driven by a hydraulic motor to rotate, and then it is fired. The sound of the 30mm gun firing is boom, but the firing rate is too fast, and these sounds gather together and become a blast.

The 11 gun barrels rotate at high speed, and shells are fired from the muzzles, and flames emerge. These flames gather together and look like an oversized lighter, and the 30mm shells are flying out at a speed of 183 rounds per second!

The firing rate of the 1130 gun is the highest in the world. After the gun barrel rotates, the firing rate is 11,000 rounds per minute!

Only with such a high firing rate can enough barrages be created to intercept supersonic anti-ship missiles! Its firing rate has far surpassed its opponents. The second-ranked close-in weapon system has a firing rate of only 4,500 rounds per minute.

This terrifying rate of fire also means a terrifying consumption rate. Once the 1130 gun is fired, it is absolutely worth a fortune. In order to pursue lethality, it does not use ordinary 30mm high-explosive shells, but specially developed tail-stabilized discarding tungsten alloy armor-piercing shells!

The warhead of this shell is made of tungsten alloy as a whole, ensuring that it can penetrate all anti-ship missile warheads at a distance of 3,000 meters! You know, anti-ship missiles are generally semi-armor-piercing warheads, and the warheads are also very hard, so the shells of close-in defense guns must be harder!

The rear of the core has a tail fin, and a saddle-shaped shell tray is also required in the middle. It is processed with CNC technology, and the cost can be imagined: one shell is worth two thousand yuan!

If you are dealing with subsonic targets, you only need to fire a short burst, and 17 shells can be successfully solved. This is just a matter of tens of thousands of yuan. However, to deal with supersonic anti-ship missiles, more shells are used. Now, in order to pursue the killing effect, it takes two seconds to shoot, and more than 300 shells fly to the target.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars are burned out like this! This thing is not cheaper than the Red Flag 10, but it has a very strong aura, which is definitely not comparable to the Red Flag 10. The scene of firing alone is shocking enough, and the shells flying out are even more spectacular!

Dense shells flew towards the target, forming a barrage between the warship and the target. This scene can only be seen when bows and crossbows were fired in ancient times! It is like a dense swarm of locusts, which makes people shudder.

The combat method of the close-in defense gun is to organize a barrage and block the front of the target. If the target wants to fly over, it must pass through this barrage and then be hit. This time, the Sunburn anti-ship missile is no exception!

The last Sunburn missile, of course, it doesn't know what is blocking it. When the barrage appears, its radar is interfered with, and a large number of echoes fill its radar and then pass it to the onboard computer. After a moment, the onboard computer made a judgment: platinum bar interference, continue to fly forward!

To deal with infrared missiles, flares are used. For radar-guided missiles, platinum bars are naturally used for interference, so that the radar receives countless echoes and cannot distinguish the target.

However, the Sunburn missile was not fooled. It decided to continue flying forward. As long as it passed through this platinum bar interference area, it could hit the target hard!

At this time, it was still three kilometers away from the target. For it, it was just three or four seconds. During this time, even if the target was sailing at full speed, it could only sail a few dozen meters. It was absolutely impossible to drive away half the length of the ship and still be within its strike range!

Therefore, the Sunburn missile was still flying steadily, and then, the next second, it plunged into the barrage of 30mm armor-piercing shells.

The huge Sunburn missile had a large front projection area, so there was almost no suspense. In an instant, an armor-piercing shell hit its body. The tungsten alloy warhead easily smashed through its titanium alloy shell, drilled into the equipment compartment inside the warhead, rolled inside, and smashed all the electronic equipment into pieces, and then continued to move forward and hit the semi-armor-piercing warhead.

For missiles, the warhead is the warhead, which is the easiest to attack the enemy, but at the same time, it also means that the guidance equipment cannot be placed. Whether it is the radar antenna of the radar guidance system or the infrared guidance head of the infrared guidance system, they need to be arranged at the front, so the warhead can only be moved back.

But it doesn’t matter. When the target is hit, the front is smashed, and the warhead at the back will naturally be exposed.

All anti-ship missiles are almost all semi-armor-piercing warheads, with hard metal on the outside and explosives on the inside.

How strong is this layer of hard metal? There is no specific data for the supersonic Sunburn missile, but the Eagle Strike-8 anti-ship missile sold domestically and abroad can penetrate the 120 mm thick No. 52 steel plate even if it hits a warship at a 60-degree angle, and then continue to drill forward for a few meters before exploding.

As for the Sunburn missile, this data will only be stronger. After all, once it hits a warship, it can smash a big hole in the target at a speed of 2.3 Mach. The iron must be hard to forge, and its warhead is definitely strong. The 300-kilogram warhead is probably more than 200 kilograms of the weight of this piece of metal.

Therefore, even if it is a 30-mm tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile, it is impossible to penetrate its warhead.

However, the electronic equipment in front of the missile can be smashed to pieces, and the interception mission is completed. This missile has no accuracy, and it is even impossible to maintain normal flight. It tilted its head and began to fall down.

At the moment when it just lowered its head, the second armor-piercing projectile flew over and hit the center of its body.

There is no obstruction from the warhead here, so the armor-piercing projectile successfully smashed in and smashed out from the opposite side, piercing it abruptly. The next second, white smoke came out of the hole.

The missile hit the fuel tank!

In fact, all anti-ship missiles are the same. After the warhead, the fuel tank will naturally be the next.

The first generation of anti-ship missiles are all liquid fuels, using rocket engines. The fuel is also toxic and corrosive, so it needs to be refilled before launch, which makes the combat preparation time of this type of missile long and not conducive to rapid response.

Therefore, the second generation of anti-ship missiles all use solid rocket engines. Although the range is only 30 to 40 kilometers, since there is no need to refuel, the preparation time is very short and can be launched quickly.

However, in order to increase the range, anti-ship missiles have evolved to use turbojet or turbofan engines. At this time, liquid fuel is needed again, but it is already aviation fuel at this time, which can be stored for a long time and is not as complicated as the first generation of liquid fuel.

As for the supersonic anti-ship missiles such as the Sunburn, they use ramjet engines, so the fuel is also aviation fuel, which is easy to store and easy to burn.

When the liquid fuel evaporated and emitted white smoke, the next second, the entire missile turned into a fireball, and then, plop!

At a height of seven meters, it only took one or two seconds to fall. It was absolutely slow, and the entire interception process was completed in an instant.

However, the distance was too close. The missile was intercepted at a distance of three kilometers. When the missile was hit and fell into the water, it was only about one kilometer away from the Onaiza!

Watching the missile fall into the sea, Kayani breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was finally shot down, otherwise...

If it was not shot down, according to the pre-arrangement, the missile would also explode. However, it would still be dangerous after all. If the detonation time was too late, the fragments could still hit.

However, since they dared to conduct such an exercise, they were confident!

All four missiles were shot down, and they were all shot down in different ways!

When seeing these performances, the Americans were silent.

So far, the Americans have not had a good way to intercept supersonic anti-ship missiles. Although their Aegis system is very advanced and standard missiles can complete the interception mission, what if there are fish that slip through the net?

Their dense formations cannot be stopped, and their RAM missiles are not 100% reliable. At least they dare not do such experiments like the guys below.

The protection of the Aegis warship is too strong!

The Indians were even more speechless.

What else can the Indians say? Their BrahMos anti-ship missiles are indestructible and can kill the Oriental aircraft carriers? Not to mention aircraft carriers, even the Aegis warships can't kill them!

Long-range, medium-range, and short-range, all have airtight interception capabilities!

Although the long-range interception is a 2.3 Mach missile, at this time the missile flies in a straight line, and there is no difference between 2.3 Mach and 3 Mach. At close range, 3 Mach with serpentine maneuvers can be stopped by the Aegis warship!

"If we are attacked, do we have the ability to intercept it?" Sunil said.

No one answered.

"Mukherjee, what do you think?"

"No, even if our Calcutta class is equipped with four-sided phased array radar and Barak air defense missiles, it is impossible to intercept supersonic missiles."

"Why?"

"The speed of the Barak missile is too slow, and it is difficult to respond effectively. I think we should develop a brand new air defense missile..."

What brand new? Their Barak air defense missile is already brand new! Sunil wanted to vomit blood.

In fact, if India can calm down and develop steadily, and improve on the basis of the imported Russian Shikli air defense missiles, it may be able to continuously improve the performance like the Red Flag 16 in the East, and eventually become a regional air defense missile.

However, if India can really calm down, it will not be India. Can an India who is not ambitious still be a normal India?

Because of blindly believing in the technology of the Davids, they decided to introduce the Barak missile from the David country. However, India has always been high-minded and required the range of this missile to reach 70 kilometers. You know, Barak was originally a short-range missile, and the original Barak-1 had a range of only ten kilometers.

Up to now, the latest Barak missile only weighs 275 kilograms, has a missile length of 4.5 meters and a diameter of only 22.5 centimeters. At first glance, it is at the level of a short-range missile. Let’s look at the Hongqi 16 missile, which has a missile length of 5.7 meters. Diameter 40cm, weight 720kg.

The missile body is light and the range is still far, so the Davids can only reduce the speed of the missile. After all, the lower the speed, the smaller the resistance. This maximum speed is only Mach 2, and it is impossible to intercept supersonic anti-ship missiles.

Ah San felt uneasy deep in his heart. They were falling behind again. They needed to catch up. They must not let Dongfang's technology surpass them!

Laoba Navy Command Hall.

"All four Sunburn missiles were shot down!"

At this moment, the entire command hall burst into excited cheers.

"Success!"

"Our Jubail-class destroyers are the strongest!"

"Thank you Eastern Technology!"

Everyone's face is full of pride and everyone is very excited.

Salman looked at Qin Tao: "Mr. Qin, your Eastern technology is the strongest in the world. Even Mach 3 anti-ship missiles can be easily intercepted by us!"

"This is also due to the user's good operation." Qin Tao said with a smile on his face: "Of course, we will continue to work hard to further improve the performance of our weapons. There is no best, only better."

"Further improvement? We think it's already perfect."

"No, there is still room for improvement. For example, this close-in defense cannon can be improved." Qin Tao began to introduce.

Before the 1990s, the Eastern Navy was almost blank in the field of air defense, and its ship-based close-in defense guns only had concepts and no products.

However, at that time, the Chinese navy proposed the theory of future airspace windows, believing that close-in defense artillery should not simply fire at the target prediction point and create a large number of barrages, but should create a uniformly distributed barrage centered on the target prediction point. The shells are dispersed across the area, thereby improving interception efficiency.

Whether it is 730 or 1130, it looks chaotic and direct fire, but it is actually very sophisticated.

As the flying speed of targets continues to accelerate, the rate of fire of close-in defense guns needs to increase. To deal with Mach 3 targets, a high rate of fire of 10,000 rounds per minute is needed. So what if the flying anti-ship missiles are faster?

If the speed of the missile is increased to Mach 3.5, the rate of fire needs to reach 18,000 rounds per minute! Will there be a 20-barrel machine gun in the future?

Of course not! This also requires improving technology!

"Take close-in defense artillery as an example. Currently, we have two directions for improvement. One is precision guidance. We will make the artillery shells also have guidance capabilities, so that they can easily fly to the target. Only a dozen or so artillery shells are needed. Can kill the target."

The development direction of artillery shells must be precision guidance. Now large-caliber artillery shells already have precision guidance shells, but they are more expensive. With the development of miniaturization of electronic equipment, 30 mm caliber artillery shells can also have precision guidance capabilities!

"The other type is the electromagnetic gun. At present, we have made brilliant progress in the field of electromagnetic gun. In the future, when it matures, the electromagnetic gun can also be used for close-in defense guns. The shells can fly out at high speed, so that they can hit the target more accurately. …”

There was expectation in everyone's eyes. What Mr. Qin said sounded really good! If the tinkering matures in the future, the protection of warships can be improved to a higher level.

"President Qin, can our warships intercept ballistic missiles?"

Finally someone raised higher demands!

It is quite difficult to intercept ballistic missiles, which has entered the category of anti-missile!

"Of course, no problem." Qin Tao nodded: "For now, our Hongqi-9 missiles can easily intercept missiles such as Scuds. As for ballistic missiles with longer ranges, you should not encounter them in actual combat. In fact, no one can hit you with ballistic missiles at sea."

The only country in the world that has anti-ship ballistic missiles is the East, so the big dogs don't have to worry about anyone attacking them with ballistic missiles!

As for using warships as mid-course anti-missile equipment? Today's big dog owners don't have this worry. No one will aim ballistic missiles at them. Even if they are aimed at them, they can hide in the desert. With such a large land area, big cities can be easily destroyed, but their country can It's not that easy to perish.

"Everyone, in order to celebrate the successful interception, we are going to hold a grand banquet!" Salman announced excitedly: "When the soldiers return in triumph, we will celebrate with them!"

Xu Zhengyang frowned. This was unplanned. Will it increase the risk? However, looking at Qin Tao's high-spirited appearance, Xu Zhengyang was embarrassed to object if he thought it would be difficult for Qin Tao to come out again.

"I think it is more appropriate to hold the banquet on a warship." Qin Tao said, "We can celebrate with the soldiers."

"That's right!" Salman nodded.

Is there enough space on the warship?

If it is just a canteen on a warship, it is of course not enough. After all, warships work in three shifts. It is enough that the canteen can satisfy one-third of the sailors. However, if other spaces are freed up, there will be a lot of benefits. place.

For example, hangars and helicopter decks.

Warships above 6,000 tons all have double hangars. The Jubail class is specially designed for big dogs. One of the hangars can also park a private jet. The hangar door can be opened and connected to the helicopter landing platform behind. This part of the space is enough to organize a banquet for hundreds of people.

So, on the way back to the Unayzai, the two ship-borne helicopters flew to the land airport. When the Unayzai docked at the port, the hangar and helicopter landing platform had been vacated!
