In modern warfare, missiles are the main means of offense, both offense and defense are in seconds. The aircraft group first launched anti-ship missiles about 240 kilometers away from the South Korean fleet. Then, the 8j-15ba that flew high altitude launched anti-radiation missiles about 120 kilometers away from the South Korean fleet. The 28j-15ba that entered at a low altitude launched anti-radiation missiles about 130 kilometers away from the South Korean fleet.

Because the radar of South Korean warships has a maximum detection distance of anti-ship missiles flying by seas of only 60 kilometers, the C-607 anti-ship missile with a speed of Mach 2 will enter the "field of vision" of the South Korean fleet approximately after launch. The time when the j-15ba aircraft group launches anti-radiation missiles is about 3 minutes later than the time when the anti-ship missile is launched, and the anti-radiation missile with a speed of Mach 6 only needs 58 to fly 120 kilometers. From this, it can be calculated that if the South Korean warship does not evade, the anti-radiation missile hits the target only about 7 seconds ahead of the anti-ship missile.

Of course, this is the result of theoretical calculations.

The maximum range of the c-607 is close to 500 kilometers. When attacking the target, it can fly according to the route set by the pilot. In order to achieve the maximum attack effect, attacking the enemy fleet at the same time from all directions, often does not fly along the shortest route. Pilots such as Yue Tongsheng chose a "turnaround route" for the missile. One c-607 launched by 36 fighter jets will attack the South Korean fleet at the same time from three directions southeast and west, so the flight time of the c-607 missile is close to 6 minutes.

In other words, before the anti-ship missiles arrived, the South Korean fleet had about 90 "anti-radiation combat" time.

Very injured, very deadly for 90 seconds.

This attack interval is the "best time" summarized by hundreds of pilots from the carrier-based aviation team of the Republic's Navy in the mainland, including the Third Battalion of the 1st Company, through dozens of arduous training and drills over several years. The main purpose of increasing the attack interval is not to give the enemy more time to organize defense, but to avoid the "cannibalization" of anti-radiation missiles and anti-ship missiles.

Although the pilot sets the operating frequency for the seeker of the anti-radiation missile before launching, in some special cases, such as after the target suddenly turns off the radar, the anti-radiation missile cannot find the target according to "memory". The seeker uses a mobile phone to access the After actively working, the target still does not find the target. The seeker will automatically use the working mode of passive search for the target emitted electromagnetic radiation within the attack range and actively launch an attack. If at this time, the anti-ship missile is equipped with an active radar seeker and enters the attack range of the anti-radiation missile, the anti-radiation missile will attack the anti-ship missile!

It looks complicated and incredible.

In fact, it is almost the same. The possibility of an anti-radiation missile actively attacking anti-ship missiles will not exceed one in ten thousand. But who can guarantee that such a situation will not occur in actual combat? In a 2024 drill, one lt-22 anti-radiation missile hit a ground unmanned target aircraft equipped with radio remote control equipment after losing its attack target.

The interval is 90. Just allow all anti-radiation missiles to "complete" the attack.

Regardless of whether the target is hit or not, the anti-radiation missile has limited time to stagnate the air, so the threat will be lost within 90.

Even though it has obtained precious 90, the South Korean fleet is still helpless.

Air defense operations are not anti-ship operations. Missiles cannot be launched in advance. They are not just missiles.

Before launching an air defense missile, the warship must use radar-based search and detection equipment to search and track incoming targets. It can measure the distance, altitude, speed, heading and other data of the target ground. Then it can launch a missile. Then it also needs to use radar as the missile to guide the target and guide the missile to hit the target. The entire process duration ranges from several seconds to dozens of seconds. During this period, the ground radar on the warship must be turned on and operated.

Turning off the radar is like sitting and waiting for death!

If the radar is not turned off, you will be blinded by the anti-radiation missile.

After discovering the J-15ba fighter, the South Korean fleet immediately entered air defense combat. Before the first missile broke through the ground cover of the vertical launch system, the J-15ba fleet quickly turned and left the missile's attack range. Before the South Korean fleet's ground commander recovered, the radar detected dozens of "small targets". It was not anti-ship missiles flying over the sea, but ground missiles flying at an altitude of thousands of kilometers.

Anti-radiation missile!

The commander of the South Korean fleet made a very accurate judgment, but at the same time made a very stupid decision.

9 Destroyers with regional air defense capabilities did not turn off the radar, but launched air defense missiles at the fastest speed to intercept incoming anti-radiation missiles!

The interception rate of anti-radiation missiles by air defense missiles will not exceed one tenth!

Unlike the air defense missiles in the early 211th century, the fifth-generation carrier-based regional air defense missile represented by the "standard" type was the first to use the "kinetic energy warhead" to destroy the target by direct impact. When it comes to the sixth-generation carrier-based regional air defense missile represented by the "Sea Changmao" (the United States developed successfully in 20211) and the sixth-generation carrier-based regional air defense missile represented by the "Hoo-2" type (a regional anti-missile/air defense missile successfully developed by the Republic in 2022), the "kinetic energy warhead" has become the standard equipment. The South Korean Navy follows the world trend, and the three types of destroyers are either equipped with "standard" type air defense missiles or the sixth-generation regional air defense missiles jointly developed by Europe.

If the "kinetic energy warhead" wants to play a role, it must first hit the target.

It is not difficult to hit a heavy anti-ship missile with a body length of several meters and a mass of more than 1 kilogram. It is very difficult to hit an anti-radiation missile with a body length of no more than 3 meters and a mass of more than 1c0 kilogram.

Not to mention hitting, it is very difficult to find and track anti-radiation missiles with speeds exceeding Mach 6.

Although the nine destroyers fought desperately and recklessly reflex air defense missiles, the fire-controlled radar on the warships illuminated the target with maximum power, and the air defense missiles intercepted in the most precise way, the results were still very bad.

In the crucial front, nine destroyers shot down less than 30 anti-radiation missiles with 240 air defense missiles.

The distance was shortened to less than kilometers, and the passive radar seeker of the anti-radiation missile intercepted the electromagnetic waves of the radiation radar of the South Korean warship and entered the self-guided attack stage. The remaining anti-radiation missiles aimed at the nine destroyers in the fleet in turn in accordance with the attack instructions set by the pilot in advance, and did not "provoke" frigates that do not have regional air defense capabilities.

Like all air defense destroyers, the Korean Navy's destroyers are not equipped with medium- and short-range air defense missiles.

Faced with the murderous anti-radiation missile, the 9 South Korean destroyer continued to launch regional air defense missiles.

By this time, the fate of the nine destroyers has been unchanged.

Even if the interception efficiency is increased several times, as long as it is hit by an anti-radiation missile, the destroyer will lose its air defense combat capability and be unable to fight against the upcoming anti-ship missiles.

The result is far from so ideal.

In less than 20, the three "Li Shunchen" class destroyers each suffered three anti-radiation missiles, and the other six destroyers also suffered two anti-radiation missiles.

In addition to the "isolated" frigate, the South Korean fleet turned blind.

The smoke from the explosion of the anti-radiation missile hit the warship superstructure has not yet dissipated. The 44 heavy anti-ship missiles at the J-15ba aircraft group were launched to approach the South Korean fleet from three directions.

The warning radar on the frigate discovered anti-ship missiles flying around the sea, and it was only discovered.

The frigate did its best to launch air defense missiles at a speed of 1 per second. The Busan-class frigate only has 2 fire control channels and needs to continuously illuminate the targets, so it can only intercept 2 air targets at the same time.

At this time, the real role is to be equipped with a photoelectric detection and tracking device terminal interception system.

13~ warships, each warship is equipped with a 2~ terminal interception system. Each last interception system intercepts up to 3 aerial targets in one "round", and the interception success rate will not exceed 80%.

In other words, the South Korean fleet intercepts up to 62 anti-ship missiles, and will then be "overwhelmed" by another 82 anti-ship missiles.

The actual situation is definitely not so ideal. It would be a miracle that the South Korean fleet can use the terminal interception system to intercept a missile.

c-607 adopts the "elastic body separation" technology. Before entering the attack range of the warship terminal intercept system, the elastic body and the warhead will automatically separate, and the warhead will complete the attack under the push and control of a small rocket engine. After the elastic body and the warhead are separated, not only will the warhead be more difficult to intercept, but the elastic body can also act as bait, weakening the combat efficiency of the interception system.

Even if only 82 missiles succeed in the penetration, on average, one South Korean warship will be subjected to at least 6 missiles.

The c-607 is a "standard" heavy anti-ship missile. Its semi-armor-piercing warhead weighs kilograms, and a c-607 can paralyze a 1,000-ton warship with a charge of 11c kilograms. One c-607 can paralyze a 1,000-ton warship with a capacity of 2 to 3. Even the US Navy's super aircraft carrier can withstand up to 6 c-607 strikes. What's more terrifying is that the c-607 is a "intelligent missile". Before attacking the target, the missile ground fire control system can automatically adjust the route, lower the route at the moment it hits the target, attack the target's ground waterline, or attack the target's superstructure according to the preset instructions of the pilot, so that the missile can exert its maximum power and destroy or paralyze the target to the maximum extent.

Faced with the surging "rain of bullets", the only choice of the South Korean army is to abandon the ship and escape.

For the Korean army in the fleet, even the chance of abandoning the ship to escape is not high!

From the discovery of the missile by the frigate to the missile hitting the first target (the destroyer of the "Li Sun-sen"), it will be less than 1 minute for the Korean army to escape!

For the Korean army inside the battleship, one minute is not enough to take out the life jacket!

The result is conceivable that nine destroyers that used up all air defense missiles could only "wait for death", and frigates with only point defense capabilities "substituted" after resisting desperately.

When the last c-607 hit the sinking "Par Yuanyi", a large unmanned reconnaissance aircraft came over the battlefield.

After the military communication satellite was redirected, the shimmering sea surface under the dawn, the sank of the Korean warships and the huge vortex left by the sunken warships on the sea, the fragments of the Korean army and warship floating on the sea were displayed in front of the commander of the Republic's Navy aircraft carrier battle group, and also on the large screen of the Tactical Command Center of the General Staff.

The attack was a complete success, as everyone expected!
Chapter completed!
