Chapter 643 The chicken coop is sinking
In the past few years, it is not easy for the troops to get a chance to fire anti-ship missiles. The unit price of a YJ-83 medium-sized anti-ship missile is several million yuan, and two are enough for the expenses of an army infantry regiment for more than half a year. How to shoot this live ammunition?
This time, not only will it be fought but also a big fight. The air teams attacked the surface teams and underwater teams, and even the naval and coastal defense forces also attacked. The main purpose of the exercise was to check anti-ship combat capabilities. It is expected that about 500 million will be burned in three days of the implementation phase.
For example, now, Li Zhan clearly saw that in the Flying Shark Squad, which is part of the air squad, Dai Wenming and Han Hongjun respectively mounted a YJ-83 anti-ship missile under the heavy pylon under the belly of the aircraft. They were responsible for attacking the sea, while the other three fighter jets were responsible for air cover and used air-to-air missiles to attack flying targets.
YJ-83 anti-ship missile is the first medium-sized universal anti-ship missile of our army. It has developed into a family that can be used on various weapon platforms: air-firing, ship-firing and submarine-firing. It is the main anti-ship missile of the People's Navy.
But to be honest, even the old HNA like Dai Wenming has never seen the YJ-83, let alone the few that have been satisfying to beat. The army has too much debt in history and can only barely maintain basic combat training for many years. In this situation, it will take about three or five years to complete the complete change.
The denial of this live-fire exercise in 2012 will have to hit so many expensive live-fire exercises, which means that the situation is changing. There will be more live-fire training in the future, and beat the troops hard in the direction of practical combat.
All the shots are ready, Li Zhan and Dai Wenming are in a level flight, and the scene of the J-15 launching the YJ-83 anti-ship missile from the side is filmed. It is also meaningful to let the Korean Red Army, who is flying the J-11B, be responsible for launching the second YJ-83 anti-ship missile. It is also meaningful to test the use of the YJ-83 anti-ship missile of this model. The Air Force and the Navy can obtain data, because in the future, the J-11B will be the main fighter of the two major military branches.
Li Zhan was able to hear the command post issued an order to allow the attack to Dai Wenming.
Dai Wenming turned on the onboard radar to search for large surface ship targets dozens of kilometers away. The domestic passive phased array radar on the nose of the J-15 easily captured the target 60 kilometers away. After confirming the target parameters indicated by the early warning aircraft, he began to execute the attack program.
This is the first time that Li Zhan has watched a fighter launch missile at such a close distance from the angle of a bystander. In terms of the number of missile firings, except for the test pilots, it is estimated that no pilot in the active troops has more than him. Air-to-ground missiles have been fired a lot. Although air-to-ground missiles can be used as anti-ship missiles, the fact is that Li Zhan has never launched anti-ship missiles. This makes him itchy and he doesn't know what it feels like to fire anti-ship missiles.
"Security No. 1 starts attacking!" Dai Wenming pressed the launch button while reporting.
The YJ-83 anti-ship missile, which was more than six meters long, took off the pylon, and the carrier lifted the nose slightly up under the action of inertia. Dai Wenming quickly controlled the attitude of the fighter. The YJ-83 anti-ship missile, weighing 7-ton at 0:00 pm, moved downward for a distance, and promoted the rocket to ignite about fifty meters below the front of the fighter. The missile accelerated wildly and dived forward and downward, and its speed reached one thousand kilometers per hour in a very short time, which helped the rocket to detach, the turbojet engine took over, and the missile began to fly horizontally at a height of only twenty meters from the water surface.
When the target is thirty kilometers away, the first stage where the turbojet engine is located breaks away from the body, and the second stage rocket engine ignites, quickly accelerating the missile to Mach 1.7, and at the same time, it continues to dive and descend to a position five meters away from the water surface.
After entering the attack stage, the active radar guide target locks the target. At this time, the carrier can leave and return, and the remaining working missiles can be completed independently.
Although the maximum range of the YJ-83 air-launched anti-ship missile reaches 200 kilometers, it is based on the principle of launching at the closest possible distance in actual use. This is the significance of fighter jet penetration. The closer the distance to the target, the higher the success rate of strikes.
Li Zhan could not see the scene of the missile hitting the target ship. He then moved to the side of the Korean Red Army and recorded the situation of the Korean Red Army launching the second YJ-83 anti-ship missile.
Two Rolls-Royces were played out.
Before there was time to go over to see the impact, other fighter jets were about to hit the target. Li Zhan quickly pulled up the fighter jets and followed Chengda, Yang Fan and Gu Mingmu to move to the airspace toward the airspace. The ships with guaranteed sea surface released unmanned targets and would release three aircraft one after another. They adopted the method of no-target prompts and rely on the pilots to search for themselves to shoot. The difficulty was quite high.
The radar reflection area of the unmanned target aircraft is much smaller than that of the fighter aircraft. Whether it is visual search or radar search, it is a great challenge for pilots.
Li Zhan used drones when he was working in Beiku, but it was a very backward drones. The navy used more advanced drones, and the navy was rich. So he was worried about whether Cheng Da and the other three could successfully find the target and lock the target. He was not worried about the combat performance of the PL-9 air-to-air missile. Although this missile is a transitional model, its tactical performance is very reliable.
Chengda first entered the combat state. Although the accuracy and reliability of the J-15's passive phased array radar are not as accurate as the active phased array radar used by the J-10C, because the nose size is large enough, the radar size can be made very large and the search distance is farther.
However, Chengda does not seem to focus on airborne radar search. Li Zhan can tell by looking at the flight movement he chose, and he still pins his hopes on visual search. This is the way the old bird likes to use.
Li Zhan drove the 81198 old flying leopard and followed Chengda's action, keeping the distance at a suitable level, which will neither affect Chengda's maneuver nor break into Chengda's front hemisphere position. If he break into Chengda's front hemisphere position, PL-9 is very likely to chase him and hit him.
The PL-9 air-to-air missile is an infrared-guided combat missile with a maximum range of 15 kilometers. It is a weapon mainly used in close air combat. Although this missile is considered to be a new generation of short-range air-to-air missile, it is generally believed in the military that the missile is a transitional feature before the new generation of close-range combat missiles under development. It is equivalent to the position of the J-10B in the J-10 family and plays a role in connecting the past and the future.
This missile is very powerful, and Li Zhan has a deep understanding.
Chengda is worthy of being the famous main team leader of the Great Red Eagle Division, and has a very experienced flying experience. He searched the designated airspace with a skillful set of flight actions, which not only ensured that he would not be ambushed but also obtained a very good search vision.
In the end, he visually captured a yellow-coated drone with a speed of more than 400 kilometers per hour.
"Discover the target! Prepare for attack!" Chengda quickly reported, and at the same time accelerated to cut into the side of the unmanned target aircraft, the onboard radar also quickly turned into locking mode.
Li Zhan quickly approached Chengda's rear and took the lead in shooting the scene of him launching the PL-9 close-range combat missile from a high place. Niu Jun even took out a wide-angle lens camera and never stopped shooting. Today she saw the real air combat scene. The seemingly simple process actually stepped on the edge of the cliff every step, especially when she and Li Zhan's old Feibao often had to change positions everywhere. If she was not careful or did not cooperate tacitly between the fighter planes, she might suffer accidental injuries. Under this stimulation, she realized what the real combat was like.
"Lock the target! Command post, request an attack!" Chengda asked for instructions on the early warning aircraft.
The commander on the early warning aircraft who commanded the air squad immediately gave instructions: "Attack as planned!"
Chengda launched the PL-9 close-range combat missile.
The missile accelerated to a speed of Mach 2 in a very short time, and in the blink of an eye it hit a yellow-coated drone seven or eight kilometers away - the drone of a B-class car was knocked and exploded in the air, and the wreckage was even broken into small pieces that were difficult to see with the naked eye.
"The target was destroyed!" Chengda made a quick and evasive move and quickly returned to the formation.
Immediately afterwards, the support ship on the water surface released a second drone...
The Feisha squad completed the attack mission within the designated time, especially the front penetration and anti-ship attack performed quite well. The exercise command required the attack to be completed within three minutes. In fact, Dai Wenming and Han Hongjun launched two YJ-83 anti-ship missiles in just over two minutes, with better results than expected.
Dai Wenming and the Flying Shark Team moved into the air defense alert and patrol of the no-stop area. Li Zhan was ordered to rush to the sea where the target ship was located to replace the Su-30MKK, which was already in charge of the damage assessment there. The latter had been stranded there for more than two hours and needed to return to the air and replenish fuel.
The exercise was implemented step by step according to the plan, and Li Zhan was still doing relevant support. This time, he was not only responsible for judging the damage effect, but also for guiding the anti-ship missiles launched by the surface detachment - the comprehensive tactical pod he brought was going to play a role.
When Li Zhan arrived at the designated waters, he was surprised to find that the target ship was not a target ship, but a bulk cargo ship with an estimated displacement of 30,000 tonnes! It was a real ship!
Generally, target shooting uses a few iron pipes to build an iron float, pull a cloth or something, and use the radar reflection area to simulate target ships of various tonnages. In many cases, ammunition only needs to fall into the prescribed killing range water area and can be judged as hit. It is similar to artillery target shooting. This type of target ship can generally be used repeatedly. When needed, it is towed by the support ship to the designated sea area, and then tow it back after it is finished.
But this time the Navy actually brought a scrapped bulk cargo ship of 30,000 to 40,000 tons to be used as a target ship! The meaning of verifying the damage effect of anti-ship missiles is very obvious!
When Li Zhan arrived at the waters where the target ship was located, it had been twenty minutes since the anti-ship attack of the Feisha Team. Although the bulk cargo ship, which had been hit by two YJ-83 anti-ship missiles, was disconnected from two parts, it still floated tenaciously on the water.
"It must have been modified with watertight cabins, and bulk cargo ships are not as resistant to construction." Li Zhan couldn't help but say.
Niu Jun understood at a glance. Looking at the bulk cargo ship that was slowly sinking, which had been broken into two pieces, at least two hundred meters long, she was amazed, "It turned out that the big ship looked like this when it was hit by a missile. Senior brother, are you saying that they had encrypted the watertight compartment?"
"It must be like this. Put the redundancy to the maximum so that you can hit it a few more times. You see, the hull is disconnected from the middle, but the amount of water inlet is not much. Not only does the watertight cabin be encrypted, but each cabin stone is also sealed. It is estimated that a few missiles will not sink immediately." Li Zhan said.
Niu Jun smiled and said, "This is very good, it fully plays the role of the target ship. However, if you use such a large ship as a target ship, your navy is really a rich man."
Li Zhan circled around the target ship, with a low altitude and clearly seeing it. He subconsciously raised his chin and said, "Look at the name of the bow, the Chicken Cage. If I remember correctly, it should be an old cargo ship that a shipping company has been in service for more than 20 years. It should be the first generation of standardized bulk cargo ship produced by the third shipyard in the early 1990s."
"No, do you even know this?" Niu Jun was extremely surprised and did not forget to take a photo on the target ship. The photos she took would also be used as a basis for judging the damage effect.
Li Zhan smiled and said, "You are just a special one. Now that you are doing HNA, you have to work in addition to masturbating planes and also have to work in boats. You have to remember the radar reflection characteristics of various ships. I was surprised just now, why is the radar reflection characteristics not very much like a target ship, it turned out to be a real ship."
"You just turned on the radar." Niu Jun said with a smile.
Li Zhan said, "Yes, if you want to serve as a relay station for the surface team in a while, you must be clear about the target."
Next, the two modern-class missile destroyers will launch a 3M-80 Bailing heavy supersonic anti-ship missile from one hundred kilometers away to conduct an over-visual range attack on the Jilong. The successor of these two missiles will be carried by the comprehensive tactical pod carried by the No. 91198 JH-7.
One of the purposes of the emergence of comprehensive tactical pods is to solve the problem of incompatibility of Russian-made equipment and domestic equipment avionics systems.
Although the 3M-80 "Bailing" heavy supersonic anti-ship missile uses inertia medium guidance and terminal active guidance, in order to ensure the hit rate, it is very necessary to guide the entire missile throughout the process.
Moreover, this time the shooting was also to verify the comprehensive tactical pod and its use tactics. The Second Fleet conducted the public 3M-80 "Bailing" heavy supersonic anti-ship missile shooting in 2007. Without relay guidance, it relies entirely on the ship's firing control system to send commands to the missile and the missile's seeker, with a hit rate of 100%!
Today, this missile is a monster. Its range is not far, but it weighs nearly four tons more than nine meters long. It is a veritable behemoth, but its longest range can only reach 120 kilometers. After all, it is a product from the 1970s, but its end attack speed can actually reach Mach 2.7!
Just looking at its extremely fierce appearance, you can tell that it is a difficult thing to mess with. It has four air intake channels, and the warhead loading is twice that of the Harpoon anti-ship missile, a total of 150 kilograms!
The YJ-83 anti-ship missile is only more than six meters long, with a total weight of no more than one ton, and the warhead loading is only seventy or eighty kilograms, which is equivalent to a harpoon.
Among the current fighter jets in our army, there are only J-11, J-H-7, H-6, and J-15 can carry this type of air-launched missile. Besides the H-6, other fighter jets can only carry one. It is too big and heavy. The small body of the J-10 cannot withstand it!
It is conceivable what kind of monster the 3M-80 "Bailing" heavy supersonic anti-ship missile is.
Moreover, it attacked at an ultra-low sea-sweeping altitude 7 meters away from the water surface. It was considered to be a almost undefensive supersonic anti-ship missile at that time.
Most of my country's anti-ship missile attack methods come from this, and it must be admitted that the Soviet Union's missile technology is very powerful.
Russia has improved this missile in the past few years, increasing its range to more than 200 kilometers, keeping up with the requirements of the times.
Li Zhan thought that the wreckage of the "Jiulong" was hit by another 3M-80 "Bailing" heavy supersonic anti-ship missile, and it would sink quickly no matter what. The six or seven thousand-ton destroyer had to say goodbye to one shot, let alone a bulk cargo ship built by civilian standards.
However, what he needs to consider is how to guide two 3M-80 Bailing heavy supersonic anti-ship missiles to hit the Jilong. The two missiles were launched at the same time, and theories should hit the target at the same time. In actual combat, hitting the target at the same time is obviously more tactical value.
Li Zhan flew to the airspace between the modern-class destroyer and the "Jiucheng" bulk cargo ship, twenty kilometers away from the "Jiucheng". He wanted to send correction instructions to the 3M-80 "Bailing" heavy supersonic anti-ship missile that entered the terminal attack stage, and then quickly rushed to the vicinity of the "Jiucheng" bulk cargo ship to shoot the hit scene.
"Comrade Mavericks, cheer up, and next we will play the lead role."
"OK!"
