Volume 12 The Iron Curtain of the Cold War Chapter 19 The Power of Missiles
.
On the harsh Atlantic Ocean, there have been huge waves of special mixed fleets. The flagship of the fleet led by the leader is moving forward rapidly in the wind and waves. It is Germany's latest battleship, the German Horizon-class battleship. Here we have to sigh at the stubbornness of the Chinese people. After most countries have seen the future of aircraft carriers, the Germans still believe that battleships are their first choice. Therefore, after several super battleships were either silent or seriously injured, Germany still built two 120,000-ton Horizon-class German Horizon-class equipped with super powerful 660-meter artillery. Behind it are eight other fast battleships and six aircraft carriers. After all, the Germans are not so mentally retarded that they ignore the role of aircraft carriers.
The Germans' abacus were very clear that the restrictions on the Panama Canal were destined to be unable to navigate large aircraft carriers and large battleships (due to China's outstanding contribution to the Panama Canal, the navigation capacity of the Panama Canal was much smaller than that of the same period, and could only pass small boats of several thousand tons. If battleships of tens of thousands tons were forcibly passed, they would be at risk of stranding.)
However, behind the confidence of the Germans, I am indeed deeply afraid of a person. That's right, that person! He is strong and confident and very magical, and no one can maintain confidence in front of him. Although he has a powerful fleet this time, the fleet commander Schumacher Kenting is still a little anxious. However, seeing the giant ship he was born in, Admiral Kenting's heart was full of confidence.
On the other side of the sea is the American fleet. Due to the Germans' generousness, the Americans can almost wait for the Germans to come to the door safely. However, if we consider that after the United States' defeat, the large warships were confiscated and only a few small warships were left, the Germans were actually not fools. On the contrary, declared war openly and upright will have an important role in enhancing morale!
However, although the US fleet has a small tonnage, it has a large number of ships, reaching more than 30. Of course, considering the overall strength, a German battleship can match these small ships with an average tonnage of less than 10,000 tons. But unexpectedly, the commander of this American fleet, Wen Dingyu, who has been cultivated for more than 20 years, has full confidence in the victory of the naval battle.
"Don't look at the Germans' large ships, it's useless to not fight us!"
Wen Dingyu smiled and looked at the adjutant and asked, "Do you know the location of the Germans?"
"I figured it out and I'll arrive at Winston Island in three days!"
Wen Dingyu smiled, "Very good, let the Germans know that we are so powerful!"
In the Forbidden City, there is another person who is more confident than him. Emperor Zhao Gang crossed his legs and hummed proudly, "Looking at the black hole in front, it must be the thief's nest. Take me to kill him and kill him cleanly."
In a naval battle, both sides of the war were so confident, but there was nothing that had never happened. Two days later, in the unexpected time of the Germans, the German fleet was attacked by large-caliber shells!
"God. They are there!" Kending didn't know how he died until the end! In the Atlantic Ocean in the high winds and waves, it was impossible for aircraft carriers to release aircraft to attack, and naval guns would never exceed the working range of the radar. So what exactly attacked the German fleet?
"This missile is really a troublemaker. If it weren't for it, we wouldn't have sunk the big iron can in Germany." Wen Dingyu laughed on his missile speedboat. The weapon used to defeat the Germans this time was actually invented by the Germans themselves. However, the Germans did not conduct in-depth research. As a result, the research results were carried forward by the Chinese and finally successfully developed the missile!
Missiles are the abbreviation of "guided missiles". They are an unmanned weapon that can designate attack targets and even track target movements by relying on guidance systems to control flight trajectory. Their mission is to load the warheads into detonating and destroying the target near the strike target or relying on their own kinetic energy to directly impact the target in the absence of a warhead to achieve the damage effect. In short, missiles are weapons that rely on their own power devices to propel, guided by the guidance system, control their flight routes, and guide the target.
Composition: Missiles usually consist of four parts: warhead (warhead), missile structure system, power plant propulsion system and guidance system. During the development of missiles, missiles without warheads have also appeared.
The missile propulsion system is a complete set of devices that provide thrust for missile flight. It is also called a missile power plant. It mainly consists of two parts: engine and propellant supply system, and its core is the engine. There are many types of missile engines, usually divided into two categories: rocket engines and suction jet engines. The former carries oxidants and combustion agents, so it can not only be used for missiles flying in the atmosphere, but also for missiles.
Missiles flying outside; the latter only carries combustion agents and relies on missiles in the air that can only be used to fly in the atmosphere. Rocket engines can be divided into liquid rocket engines, solid rocket engines and solid-liquid mixed rocket engines according to the physical state of their propellant. Suction jet engines can be divided into turbojet engines, turbofan jet engines and ramjet engines. In addition, there are combination engines composed of rocket engines and suction jet engines. The choice of engines depends on the combat conditions of the missile. Strategic ballistic missiles are only
In the active ballistic section, the engine is propelled by the thrust. The engine works short and needs to fly outside the atmosphere. Solid or liquid rocket engines should be selected; because strategic cruise missiles fly in the atmosphere and have a long engine working time, they should choose turbofan jet engines with low fuel consumption (ramjet engines can also be used). Tactical missiles require good maneuverability and strong rapid response capabilities, and most of them choose solid rocket engines. However, in air-surface missiles, anti-ship missiles and medium- and long-range air-to-air missiles, turbojet/turbofan engines and ramjet engines are gradually promoted.
Missile guidance system: A general term for various devices such as guiding missiles to targets and moving around the center of mass according to certain guidance rules, as well as flight time procedures, command signals, power supply, power distribution, etc. Its function is to measure the position of the missile relative to the target in a timely manner, determine the flight trajectory of the missile, control the flight trajectory and flight attitude of the missile, and ensure that the warhead (war) accurately hits the target. There are four systems for missile guidance. During the guidance process, no equipment other than missiles is required, nor does it require direct information from the target, so that the missile can fly to the target. For example, inertial guidance, most ground-based ballistic missiles use autonomous guidance and search guidance. The seeker on the missile feels the radiation or reflected energy of the target, and automatically forms guidance instructions.
Control the missile to fly to the target. Such as radio search guidance, laser search guidance, infrared search guidance. This kind of guidance method has high guidance accuracy, but the guidance distance is relatively close. It is mostly used for missiles such as ground-to-air, ship-to-air, air-to-air, air-to-ground, air-to-ground, air-to-ship and other missiles. Remote control guide. It is measured by the guidance station outside the missile, and the missile is issued to the missile, and the missile is controlled by the execution device on the missile to fly to the target. For example, radio command guidance, radio beam guidance and laser beam guidance, etc., are mostly used for ground-to-air, air-to-ground missiles and anti-tank missiles. Compound guidance. At the initial, middle and end of the missile flight, guidance with more than two guidance methods is used simultaneously or successively or in composite guidance. This kind of guidance can increase the guidance distance and improve the guidance accuracy.
Missile guidance accuracy is one of the main performance indicators of missile guidance systems and is also the main factor determining the missile hit accuracy. When hitting a fixed target, the missile hit accuracy is described by the circular probability deviation (cep). It is a statistic of length, that is, launching multiple missiles at a target, requiring half of the missiles to land in a circle with the average beam slant as the center and the circular probability deviation as the radius. When hitting an active target, the missile hit accuracy is represented by the off-target distance, that is, the shortest distance from the missile to the center of the target relative to the target movement trajectory.
Missile warheads are special devices for missiles to damage targets, also known as missile warheads. They are composed of warhead shells, combat charges, detonation systems, etc. Some warheads are also equipped with control and penetration devices. Combat loadings are the energy for missiles to damage targets and can be divided into nuclear charges, ordinary charges, chemical warfare agents, biological warfare agents, etc. The detonation system is used to detonate the warheads in a timely manner, and at the same time ensures that the warheads are transported and stored;. Conventional warheads, missile special warheads and missile nuclear warheads, tactical missiles are mostly conventional warheads, and strategic missiles are mostly nuclear warheads. The power of nuclear warheads is expressed by the Tienti equivalent. The warheads carried by each missile can be a single warhead or multiple warheads, and multiple warheads can be divided into cluster, sub-guided and maneuverable. Strategic missiles mostly use multiple warheads to improve the missile's penetration ability and ability to attack multiple targets.
