Great warships

Chapter 1250 Are they all dumb?

Aboard the Unayzai.

"Come on, cheers!" Qin Tao raised his juice glass and said to Captain Kayani, "On behalf of Mingzhou Group and Oriental Shipbuilding Industry, I want to thank you for your wonderful performance. You have once again brought fame, prestige and morale to our Oriental Manufacturing!"

Looking around the world, which country's navy dares to do such a test? Even the US Navy doesn't dare! At most, they test a missile, and they also take various protective measures. Generally speaking, they have to kill the incoming target from ten kilometers away.

This time, four Sunburn missiles were fired in salvo, two of which came within five kilometers, which had never happened before!

"Our equipment is still good," Kayani said. "The only regret is that the number of incoming missiles is not large enough to test our ability to deal with saturation attacks on multiple targets."

Although there are as many as four incoming missiles, it is still far from a saturation attack. Even if twenty or thirty missiles are fired at one time, they can intercept them!

"There is no need to test this ability to resist saturation attacks. We believe in Eastern technology!" said Mahmoud.

Relying on advanced computers and powerful phased array radars, it is not easy to deal with saturation attacks. The targets that can be intercepted at the same time are completely limited by the number of air defense missiles.

"Yes, the technology in the East is the most advanced. Come, let's have a drink!"

After drinking the glass of juice, Qin Tao looked towards the rear deck, where Salman and others were chatting and laughing. So Qin Tao picked up the second glass and wanted to go outside.

"Mr. Qin, you can't go outside." Xu Zhengyang said from the side.

There is no problem in the hangar, after all, there are side walls blocking it, but the helicopter landing platform at the back is very open all around, what if there is danger?
Qin Tao smiled and said, "It's okay. Salman and the others are all outside. Nothing happened. How could anything happen to me?"

"That won't work either." Xu Zhengyang said, and strode out: "Mr. Salman, President Qin wants to have a drink with you!"

So, Salman came with the wine glass.

Qin Tao was helpless. What was this? Was I going to be a coward like this forever?

Salman smiled and said, "Boss Qin, you are much more dangerous than me. There are so many people in the world who want to kill you. Your bodyguard did the right thing! You can't get into trouble. You have to design more and more advanced ones for us..."

At this moment, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the distance. Xu Zhengyang suddenly thought of something and shouted, "Attention, drone!"

Civilian quad-rotor drones are very small, and many of them are made of non-metallic materials, so the radar reflection echo is very small, so small that some radars cannot detect them. Even if they are detected by advanced radars, they cannot be distinguished from flying birds.

After all, the size of civilian drones is just about the same as that of birds, and their flying speed is also at this level, which poses a great challenge to radar: if even this will sound an alarm, then once a bird flies by, the radar will be full of early warning signals, and if no alarm is sounded, the target may be missed.

Now, everyone is relaxing and no one notices the existence of the drone. Only Xu Zhengyang remains highly vigilant.

When the people on the deck got the news, they immediately ran to the hangar, while the people in the hangar ran to the cabin. The further inside, the safer it was. After all, the drone might be carrying a bomb!
Civilian drones can also be used for military purposes. Given their weight, it is no problem to strap on a small bomb. They don’t even need to be thrown. They can just fly to the target and detonate, posing a huge threat to the target.

Just as everyone was dodging, the port guard troops also quickly moved out. The sound of machine guns rang out, and shells flew into the sky. Then, the drone was about to fly away!

"Send out the helicopter immediately! If the helicopter doesn't work, send out the fighter jets!" Mahmoud's face was icy cold. He had to shoot it down for me!
Soon, a helicopter that looked similar to the Black Hawk took off quickly, and the side door opened, revealing the sniper's black muzzle.

Bang, bang, bang!
After three shots, the drone fell.

"Salvage immediately!"

Mahmoud's expression remained serious: "Block all around and search for any suspicious persons!"

With so many important people present, if something unexpected happened, Mahmoud would definitely not be able to take the responsibility. Neither Salman nor Qin Tao can afford to get into any accidents.

Thinking of this, Mahmoud felt a wave of fear.

In the cabin, Qin Tao was not too worried. Instead, he continued to give everyone scientific knowledge.

"This drone is really hard to deal with. It's small, so it's not easy for radar to detect it. Even if it's detected, it will be considered a bird. However, it's not difficult to deal with it. The first thing is to detect it. We can identify it through professional programs."

A drone is a drone, and there are many differences between it and a bird, such as its movement trajectory and the fact that it can hover in the air. As long as an intelligent program is written, the two can be distinguished.

"In addition to radar, there are other means of searching, such as optics..."

"The problem we discovered has been solved, but it's not easy to get rid of it."

It is not appropriate to use various missiles or anti-aircraft guns because the target is too small, so small that it is impossible to lock on it. It is like hitting a balloon, and there is nothing on the radar screen.

"We are currently developing laser weapons. In the future, it will be easiest to deal with it using laser weapons," Qin Tao introduced.

Laser weapons are gradually becoming more mature and their uses are becoming more and more extensive, and dealing with drones is one of them.

"In addition to laser weapons, we are also developing a special drone capture gun that can be used to capture drones as long as they can be visually seen."

"Really? What's the principle?"

"The principle is simple. It is to interfere with the remote control signal of the drone, causing the drone to lose contact and land nearby."

“What if the drone has the function of returning to the original route?”

"That's even better. We can follow the clues and catch the operator behind the scenes."

Everyone nodded.

"Mr. Qin, as long as you succeed in the research and development, we will equip you immediately. We will start by purchasing 200 sets of laser weapons, and 10,000 sets of this kind of drone capture gun!" Salman immediately expressed his opinion.

"Report, the operator has been caught!" At this moment, an officer came in to report.

“What is the identity of the operator?”

"The tourist said he wanted to take some photos of the coast."

Tourists? Mahmoud's face was serious: "Let him talk to the judge. People who secretly photographed our military port and stole our military secrets should be brought to the military court!"

"But he's an American."

"People from any country are not allowed to follow our laws!"

Qin Tao sighed.

Alas, it’s time to go back again.

He originally wanted to wait for the exercise to be over and stay here for a few more days, but after this incident, he couldn't stay here any longer. He was also worried about the situation in China, so he could only be obedient.

Humph, this guy, whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, can't let him go, he must be sentenced to at least twenty years in prison!

"Boss Qin, why are you sighing?"

"This guy prevented us from enjoying a wonderful banquet. Humph, he deserves the heaviest punishment!" Qin Tao gritted his teeth.

"That's right. This guy has ulterior motives. He should at least be sentenced to life imprisonment! Humph, this is not just a provocation to you, Pakistan, but to our entire world!" said Salman.

Salman's words carry more weight. The implicit meaning is that if the Americans dare to make a fuss about this incident, it would be a provocation to the entire world represented by the big dogs, and the big dogs will support Pakistan!
Qin Tao also didn't expect that if this matter was made into a big deal, it would become such a big deal!

Of course, the outside world didn’t know about this at the time. They were just lamenting the technical level of this shooting.

Although the Americans and Indians were watching the whole process, the first person to stand up and speak was actually the Russians!
At the confluence of the Moscow Canal and the Volga River stands a small town called Dubna.

This small city has less than 100,000 people and is the size of a small town, but it has the world-famous Rainbow Machinery Manufacturing Design Bureau. The tactical missiles produced here almost monopolize all the products of the Russians.

World War II had just ended and missiles began to enter the historical stage. The Mikoyan Design Bureau seized this opportunity and established the Second Branch of the Mikoyan Design Bureau, and began to explore missiles, swept wings, turbojet engines... a completely unmanned MiG-15, and the Russians' first anti-ship missile KS-1 "Comet" was created in this way.

Afterwards, this branch gradually evolved into the current Rainbow Machinery Manufacturing Design Bureau. Almost all of the Russians' air-to-ground missiles and anti-ship missiles were developed by them.

This naturally includes the famous Sunburn anti-ship missile. Therefore, they have reason to comment on this exercise.

Bogatikov, a famous engineer from Rainbow Design Bureau, spoke eloquently.

"The Jubail-class destroyer's record of intercepting four Sunburn missiles was extremely brilliant, and it showed us the powerful power of the Eastern Aegis warships! We know that supersonic anti-ship missiles are very fast, and the reaction time left for the interception system is very short, so many missiles cannot intercept supersonic missiles, especially Barak missiles."

There is a very important reason why Bogatkov specifically brought up the Barak missile. India was originally a loyal user of Russian weapons, but who would have thought that it has now embraced the Davids. Whether it is the phased array system or the air defense missile, they all use David's equipment. The Russians are still eagerly waiting to sell missiles!
Now, taking this opportunity, of course, we must severely belittle them and let Asan know how unreliable the David people’s air defense missiles are.

"Compared to previous subsonic anti-ship missiles, the Sunburn missile is almost three times faster than them, which means that the air defense missile needs to be three times more agile, and the speed of the air defense missile must also be high enough, at least a maximum speed of Mach 4, to be perfectly intercepted."

They commented and threw dirty water at the same time, and this time their main purpose was achieved.

"Let's take a look at Dongfang's anti-ship missiles. The first one launched was the Hongqi-300, which is a replica of our S-6 missile. The maximum speed varies slightly depending on the model, but it is estimated to be around Mach 4. In this way, within the range of to kilometers, it is almost completely in the power range stage. When the missile reaches the target position, the speed is at least Mach , which can be easily intercepted."

"Let's look at the subsequent launch of the Hongqi 16. First of all, I want to emphasize that some people confuse the missiles launched twice and think that they are both Hongqi 9. This is a big mistake. The missile launched the second time was carrying flames when it left the launch device. It was a hot launch. This is the Hongqi 16. Dongfang's hot and cold public frame launch technology is indeed powerful."

"However, this missile is still a copy of our Shikili air defense missile, with a maximum speed of over Mach 4. This time it intercepted an anti-ship missile at its extreme range, which is enough to show how excellent the original design of this missile is. We also have this vertical launch version in our country, but it is also amazing that the Orientals can integrate it into the Aegis warship."

"Because we know that the Shikili air defense missile is a semi-active guided missile, it needs a target illumination radar, but we did not see the existence of such a radar on the Jubail-class destroyer, which means that its target illumination task is undertaken by other radars on the warship. We have reason to believe that there is a special H/I band target illumination radar on the curved radar antenna!"

This is a blessing in disguise.

When the Aegis warship was being developed, there was a long debate over the radar band. A certain aerospace institute wanted to use the C band, while the 14th institute wanted to use the S band. The advantage of the C band is that it can be used as a target illumination radar for the Hongqi-, or in other words, even if the Hongqi- is an active seeker, it can also be used as a command transmission device.

However, the search distance of the C band is not far enough, no more than two hundred kilometers at most, while the S band can reach four hundred kilometers, which is an obvious advantage.

The two sides were evenly matched and finally reached a compromise, freeing up a small area on the S-band shield to install the C-band components, which successfully solved the problem and Institute 14 won the bid.

Therefore, this shield has multiple functions. When launching the HQ-9, it can be used as the command transmission channel of the HQ-9 missile. When launching the HQ-16, it can be used as a target illumination radar.

The original Shikiri missile used the MR-90 target illumination radar, which operates in the C band and has a transmission power of 4 kilowatts, which is exactly the same band. Of course, many materials also mention the I/J band.

In short, the Aegis warship can also launch the HQ-16, adding a new missile and providing another option!

"Of course, what shocked us the most was that the Orientals improved our missiles. Originally, the Sunburn missile could only fly to Mach 2.3, but the Orientals modified the trajectory, climbing first and then diving, thus increasing the speed to Mach 3. This shocked us so much that we can only admire them from the bottom of our hearts. The Orientals are very smart!"

"It's even more difficult to intercept a Mach 3 missile, not to mention a serpentine maneuver. I can be sure that if you use a rapid-fire cannon to intercept it, six or seven barrels are simply not enough. You need at least ten or more. The only other rapid-fire cannons in the world are the 1130 from the East and our AK-630M2."

The Russians always like to solve problems in the simplest and crudest way. What should they do when the interception firepower density is not enough? Then put two guns together! The so-called AK-630M2 is to stack two ordinary AK-630s directly together, so that the firing rate can reach rounds per minute.

In short, we should praise Eastern technology and also promote our own technology to make the Indians regret their decision.

"Here is some professional information. The speed of a missile to be intercepted depends on the speed of the close-in weapon system. We can see that the West is completely outdated in this area. Only our weapons and those of the East have the best performance in the world!"

"Finally, let's look at the HQ-9. This missile is very unique. It is a supplement to the close-in anti-aircraft gun. However, we believe that this air defense weapon still has many flaws. The biggest problem is that its mobility is still insufficient, and it is far inferior to our 100M short-range air defense missile."

Ever since the collapse of the Red Empire, Russia has been living off its old heritage. This so-called new air defense missile is nothing more than the R-73 air-to-air missile mounted on a warship, with a range of 15 kilometers. Although some people introduce it as a ship-borne medium-range air defense missile and think it is at the same level as the Sea Sparrow, in fact, the most appropriate comparison with it is the Hongqi-.

The Hongqi-9 is specially developed with advanced electronic technology and high missile maneuverability. As for the 100M... it is just adequate at best.

"In addition to these, we think the combination of missiles and artillery is suitable. We have the most advanced Kashtan system in the world..."

Although we don't know how advanced the Russian missile technology is, with the analysis of Russian engineers, many people know how difficult it is to intercept such supersonic missiles.

When Qin Tao saw this video, he was already in China. It was not easy to travel abroad, and in the end he had no excuse to stay, so he had to return.

"Humph, these are clearly all bragging!" Zhang Zhong, who was watching the video with Qin Tao, retorted as he watched.

"What Kashtan? We have already demonstrated that combining missiles and close-in weapon systems is neither fish nor fowl, and will be even less effective."

"What about the 9M100? There are many problems with transplanting air-to-air missiles to shipboard, and the power of the missile cannot be fully utilized at all."

After reading all this and cursing all this, Zhang Zhong stopped nagging.

"Boss Qin, I also want to do a program specifically analyzing how difficult it is to intercept anti-ship missiles and how advanced our missiles are."

Qin Tao smiled and said, "You've said so much, but this is probably the most useful one, right?"

"That's... No, of course not. President Qin, I, a famous military expert, have to comment on it. Look, no one in the West has said anything. They are all like dumb. Let's..."

"Let's not provoke them." Qin Tao said, "Our interception experiment this time was enough to let those people see the gap. Now they all look worried and don't know how to catch up with us."

"My shows have been lacking in highlights lately. You don't even know that some people say that I, Zhang Zhong, have run out of ideas."

Zhang Zhong is very depressed. His show is no longer popular. He needs to keep looking for something that can attract people!
"Then how about you analyze the uses of civilian drones?"

“It’s been done before.”

"Then analyze the Asan's Calcutta class?"

“I have done that.”

Just then, the cell phone rang.

Zhang Zhong wanted to hang up, but after seeing the number on the line, he picked up the phone. When he heard what was said, he was shocked: "What did you say? The Indian gantry crane fell down and smashed their aircraft carrier?"
