1208 days! The SM-1 standard air defense missile went to the EP-3 reconnaissance plane(1/2)
"Anti-ship missile!"
Observers in the helicopter saw the direction of the fleet and widened their eyes.
Without notifying them of this, they directly launched anti-ship missiles?
"Four!"
Another observer had a tremor in his voice.
C-801 anti-ship missile is a rare target shooting at ordinary times. One is worth millions of dollars. The navy itself does not have several aircraft, so how can it be used to shoot at the target?
These big dog lovers in Saudi Arabia actually started playing volleys.
The four anti-ship missiles flew over like fighter jets performing air stunts, rising and falling, like flying fish flying over the sea, which shocked everyone who saw them. Until the first anti-ship missile flew towards the target ship at a faster speed, the violent explosion blew the target ship that had been destroyed by countless naval guns into two pieces, and was so shocked that it almost fell from the helicopter.
"Report the results quickly." An observer responded. If he didn't report, the target fleet thought that it had not hit the target and then fired anti-ship missiles. Isn't that a waste?
"The first hit the target waterline, and the target ship was blown up in the middle."
The observer's report gave Rafata a sigh of relief.
The ship sank, and the credit for the anti-ship missiles they launched.
It doesn’t matter what others say, as long as you can explain to His Majesty the King, to His Highness the Prince, and to the Saudi people.
The first anti-ship missile exploded the target ship into two pieces. After jumping up at both ends of the target ship in the middle, it hit the sea water heavily, and a large amount of sea water poured in, and the bow and stern of the ship quickly rose up.
Two anti-ship missiles approached the target. The speed visible to the naked eye was sinking. The two anti-ship missiles that had locked the target ship seemed to be worried about losing the target. They actually accelerated when there were still hundreds of meters away, and each crashed into the area near the seaside where the bow and stern of the ship were close to the sea.
"Boom~"
"Boom~"
Two violent explosions in succession, the sea water was splattered for dozens of meters. When the two hulls that were sinking rapidly were attacked, the warship broke again and sank faster.
Seeing that there were no more warship hulls on the water surface, there was still a missile on the sea surface close to the distance to the final dive attack.
The active guidance radar of this missile has been working all the time, inputting the position of the target ship into the guidance system.
The guidance system is also constantly changing the attack location.
Most of the hull has sunk into the water. According to the preset parameters, the anti-ship missile is heading towards the bridge where most of it has sunk into the seawater and is still rapidly descent.
"Boom~"
The masts of radar antennas were covered on the bridge. Under the attack of this anti-ship missile, the masts were also folded into two pieces and fell into the water.
"The second, the third hit the bow and stern of the ship, and the target ship sank..."
"The fourth hit the wreckage of the mast..."
"Four anti-ship missiles completely destroy the target ship..."
The observers were stunned. They had heard that the c-801 was powerful, but when they saw it, they knew how powerful it was.
Even the mast that is left on the water surface becomes the target of attack after losing its target.
Such a small area, it hit straight up.
Below the four C-801 anti-ship missiles, the 102 Anshan-class destroyer with a full load displacement of 2,451 tons sank rapidly in the sea water and disappeared without a trace.
"It's completely impossible to repair it now." Xie Kai heard the observer say that the target ship was completely destroyed, so he secretly vented, "You can order the salvage fleet to come."
"There are two anti-ship missiles, what should I do?" Zheng Yucheng asked worriedly, "It would be great if the warships had contact with the missiles. You can directly order self-destruction."
The guidance method of c-801 anti-ship missile belongs to self-control plus self-guidance.
Before launch, the target parameters are input through the battleship fire control system, and the target can be launched without even being targeted.
After launch, the pilot on the missile and radar compartment will actively adjust the flight attitude and fly in the direction of the target. After reaching the pre-firing distance, the active guide radar will turn on again, actively launch a single pulse electromagnetic signal, and actively detect the target position. Once the target position is offset from the missile's flight trajectory, the electronic computer system in the guidance compartment will correct the flight attitude.
There are only two possibilities for such anti-ship missile to lose its effect.
The first is to hit the target.
The second type is that the missile keeps track of the target until the fuel consumption inside the missile is completed. Even if the target cannot be attacked, the self-destruction program in the missile will eventually be activated when the fuel is consumed, ensuring that the enemy will not get a complete sample, so that the internal structure and technical performance can be analyzed.
I won't give others a chance to imitate it.
"Bastard!" When Colonel Kamal heard that the target ship was completely sunk, he waved his fist hard, "I had known it before, I should have fired anti-ship missiles first! Everyone is a member of the Peninsula Defense Force!"
Saudi Arabia is doing too much.
Seeing that their naval guns were about to destroy the target ship, an anti-ship missile volley came.
"Col. Our missile has lost its target..." a staff officer reminded the colonel.
The two are powerful. After losing their target, they will actively search for anti-ship missiles from nearby targets. For a 3,000-ton warship, one can severely damage the warship to the point where it loses its combat capability.
Two?
Only destroyed.
This is troublesome.
Kamal looked at the Chinese instructor next to him.
China shrugged helplessly and shook its head and said, "We can only wait for the missile fuel to run out and start the self-destruction device. Don't worry, this is the exercise area. Announcement has been issued to the international community before, and there will be no other ship."
Announcements will be issued before any exercise to avoid accidents.
It's now in the exercise area, and I haven't heard any other ships appear.
Although the anti-ship missiles are launched here are closer to the target ship, the radius of dozens of kilometers around the target ship is theoretically without ships outside the fleet.
The helicopters serving as alert in the sky also did not report any of the situation, right?
"Those are two anti-ship missiles, and they didn't hit the target..." Kamal was so angry that he was so angry.
"Everyone has seen your performance." The instructor comforted them.
The performance of the Bahrain Navy is much stronger than that of Saudi Arabia, which is obvious to all.
When the two anti-ship missiles launched by the Bahrain Navy reached the area where the active radar was turned on, the active radar was turned on and radio signals were fired into the area where the target ship was originally located, but the target was not searched at all.
The original location of the target ship was nothing except for some oil stains floating on the sea surface and some wreckage with smaller density than water.
After losing the target, the active radar continues to fly in the originally set direction while sending a detection signal.
In a few seconds, the two anti-ship radars actually received a faint signal of the target...
"Hey, there are two more?"
An observer saw two anti-ship missiles flying at sea level with different trajectories and flying across the sea, thinking he was dazzled.
"Two off-targets! Flying northeastward!"
Another observer reported.
"Tractice these two missiles now!" The fleet commander issued an order.
However, on these warships, except for the H3s of Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, which are equipped with a missile-in-one air defense system for short-range defense, there are no long-range air defense missiles at all.
Even if there is, it will be useless.
Long-range air defense missiles are all intercepting air targets, and they are powerless to do anything against anti-ship missiles with high maneuverability in seaflight flights.
The air defense radar of the 169 warship did not detect the fleet's anti-ship missile launch at all.
These anti-ship missiles are very low when they enter cruise flight after launching, and are also very low at altitude, only 50 meters high, and the final sea-skipping flight is even only 10 to 20 meters.
Such an altitude is simply not something that most of the radars on warships can detect at this stage.
"Huh, what is that?"
The ep-3 reconnaissance plane approaching ship 169 discovered an anti-ship missile approaching ship 169 at high speed.
"Anti-ship missiles! Notify them quickly! These damn things, even this was not detected."
The 169 ship, which was already on guard, was even more anxious after receiving a warning from American pilots, but the radar did not show it. They could not see it except knowing the direction of the anti-ship missile.
"Standard SM-1 air defense missile preparation! The mk-15 dense array near-force weapon system is ready, the irradiation radar is turned on, and once it enters the range, it will fire!" Sato Kazuji was anxious.
These damn Saudi bastards can make mistakes when launching missiles.
Especially the damn Chinese, the missile performance is so poor that it dares to sell it.
So, the air defense system and near-defense system of the 169 ship began to mobilize.
"Discover the target!"
When the anti-ship missile was about twenty-five kilometers away from the 169 ship, the radar of the 169 ship was finally detected.
"locking!"
The captain issued an order directly.
In this case, it must be locked.
"Can't lock it!" The radar soldiers were so busy that they were sweating profusely that they could not lock it at all.
"The speed is too fast?" the captain was stunned.
"The flight trajectory is too weird, the two targets have different flight trajectories! One of them flies close to the sea with a serpentine maneuver and a height of ten meters, while the other one changes up and down, left and right..."
To be continued...
