Chapter 151 Intercepting missiles!
HMS Queen is a guided missile frigate.
The meaning of the frigate is obvious. It is obviously more focused on defense than offense.
Moreover, the main direction of its defense is the sky!
Although after being transformed by Japan, the Queen's original six launch units now only have four anti-aircraft missiles and one intercontinental missile launch nest, which only affects the defense capability when encountering a saturation attack.
The missiles launched from US bases are obviously not large enough to carry out a saturation attack.
An Ran's heart, which had been hanging on, suddenly felt relieved.
The scene of the anti-missile missile launch has become less important, because An Ran knows how powerful the defense on Chen Fang's ship is. There are radar problems that she didn't understand before. Maybe Chen Fang can give her the answer, but she didn't ask.
Anyway, he is not engaged in "three-five-three" scientific research. Maybe the yacht uses the most advanced active phased array radar, or a higher-tech technology. An Ran doesn't want to explore it.
You always have to leave some mystery to your boss, right?
Thinking about it, she actually laughed, not worried at all about the missiles above.
Long Xiaoyun looked at An Ran's expression changes in an instant, and suddenly became a little overwhelmed.
She didn't understand why An Ran suddenly showed such strong trust.
But when a missile launch port appeared on the yacht deck and a ship-based anti-aircraft missile launcher appeared, she felt that she didn't need to ask.
"Maozi's weapons should be very interesting against American missiles.
Chen Fang's words attracted Long Xiaoyun's attention.
Chen Fang never fights an unprepared war, she knows.
But the most advanced anti-missile system of Maozi is also the S400, and the one sold to China is the older S300. Can such an anti-missile system win?
Her eyes unconsciously shifted to the launch silo. The well entrance was pitch dark, and the missiles inside could not be seen clearly.
The unknown mystery aroused Long Xiaoyun's curiosity, but she didn't look around because the missile was about to be launched.
Before her thoughts could change, the missile had already detached and launched.
The missile, which is about ten meters long, no longer looks like an anti-aircraft interceptor missile, but like a standard cruise missile. The missile body with a diameter of nearly half a meter also makes people think about the warhead of the missile.
Normally, anti-missile missiles do not need to be equipped with much ammunition. After all, they are only used to intercept missiles, not to attack targets. The ship-based version of anti-missile missiles will try their best for economic benefits. The size of the compression warhead.
Therefore, the ship-based version of S400 is much smaller than the land-based version.
However, the missile that flew out of the silo instantly did not belong to the S400, nor could it be the even more backward S300.
So what exactly is this?
Long Xiaoyun didn't have time to think, and saw the missile rising from the ship and flying straight towards the Tomahawk cruise missile in the sky.
Thick smoke billowed out, infecting the yacht.
Neither Long Xiaoyun nor An Ran escaped. They wanted to watch this scene and witness the miracle that Chen Fang was about to create.
"The speed of the S500 missile is not bad."
Chen Fang's words awakened the dreamer.
This is not the S300, nor the S400, but the S500 ship-based anti-missile system that Maozi has just successfully developed.
The key information of $500 was not exposed at all. Long Xiaoyun can only make guesses based on S400 data.
From what she learned, the total weight of the S400 is about 1,600-1,800 kilograms. The warhead, that is, the warhead, weighs 145.5 kilograms. It uses an impact fuse, has a maximum attack distance of 400 kilometers, and a maximum flight speed of 1,225 kilometers per hour. .
With such data, the S400 can target large aircraft at high altitudes and targets with speeds below 4800 meters/second.
This kind of performance can be called excellent, and there is no problem in intercepting Tomahawk cruise missiles.
However, the S400 cannot completely defend against Tomahawk missiles with low-altitude cruise attack capabilities.
Especially now that the U.S. military often launches Tomahawks regardless of expenses. In the hot war land of Central Asia, Tomahawk missiles are fired casually like throwing grenades, so $400 is often faced with two or even multiple Tomahawks. The success rate of interception is also greatly reduced.
But now, there were clearly two approaching missiles in the air, but Chen Fang only used one anti-missile missile to intercept them.
Long Xiaoyun can only guess that the S500 has strengthened its fire control, such as changing the original collision fuze to an infrared fuze, which will automatically explode when it is a certain distance from the missile for active interception....
In addition, the performance of the 5500 in other aspects has definitely been enhanced!
This goes without saying.
Long Xiaoyun stared at the missile in the air, his intuition flashing in front of him.
After the missile took off for more than ten meters, it accelerated as if it was pushed behind by an infinite force. It suddenly exploded and then shot towards two targets not far away in the sky.
The time it took for the Tomahawk missile to pass over their heads was not short, but it couldn't be said to be long at all.
In just a few seconds, the anti-missile missile had quickly closed the distance to the Tomahawk.
Long Xiaoyun stared at the sky blankly, his palms sweating.
Chen Fang beside her had left here at some unknown time, leaving only her and An Ran.
"It's approaching." Long Xiaoyun said.
The $500 anti-missile missile exploded at an average distance of 100 meters from the two Tomahawks.
The shock wave generated by the missile warhead caused the Tomahawk missiles on both sides to instantly deviate from their original trajectory, and then joined the explosion in the sky.
boom!
The visual experience is always faster than the auditory experience.
Just when the first explosion reached their ears, they saw that more than three round and non-circular explosion areas had been formed above them.
The sky is filled with fire!
Boom boom!
When the second and third explosions came, the gunpowder inside the missile had been fully burned by the large amount of 3.1 oxygen around it, dyeing the sky red.
Because the violent explosion was not far from the ground, it did not spread very far.
In this battle between the Maozi anti-missile system and the American Tomahawk cruise missile, the winner is Maozi.
Chen Fang was in the cabin of the yacht and heard the explosion coming from outside with a calm expression.
The most important thing about the anti-missile system is locking. To be honest, Maozi's $500 still has the risk of interception failure when facing cruise missiles, but Chen Fang is not worried about this because the radar on the yacht has already discovered the target. I will never let anyone go.
Locking means destroying, this is inevitable.
Of course, there is the most critical point.
The Americans never thought that in the land of black Africa, there would be people who could launch a gank against their missiles!
