The Americans can actually give the answer to the missiles that the Persians cannot find.

Now the "Zircon" that Babak and others are worried about whether it will attack Persian fishing boats is actually preparing to pose a fatal threat to the US fleet.

At sea, the fire control personnel aboard the Iowa ship have turned off the fire control radar alarm. It is indeed very uncomfortable to listen to the squeaking sound while sailing.

The radar controller in the Iowa captain's room monitors the radar echo pattern at all times for fear of problems.

Although the captain and first mate still didn't care much, he felt that the current situation was a bit strange.

Just now, the speed of the missile he monitored had reached Mach 8, and its falling speed had slowed down.

"Captain, there have been some changes in the posture of the missile."

He thought for a while and finally mustered up the courage to speak.

Renault "373" has been confused by this suspicious atmosphere. He is not very willing to perform this task himself, and now there are still people looking for him to have fun.

"Don't you know how to tell whether a missile is a threat?" Renault said angrily.

"We'll wait until the missile actually hits us. Then I'll let you see how our anti-missile system works!"

The radar controller was obedient and careful.

Another American soldier next to him winked at him, apparently telling him to keep quiet.

The radar controller came to his senses and continued to observe radar echoes and analyze data.

But he clearly felt that the current situation warranted reporting.

Every second, the interface displaying missiles on Rein will undergo huge changes.

The missile trajectory analyzed by the Doppler effect also shows the missile's previous vertical movement and its current trajectory that is close to horizontal movement.

Isn't this enough to explain the problem?

He felt that he could not bear the pain caused by his dereliction of duty, so he got up and went to find the somewhat lively first mate.

"First mate, something seems wrong with the current situation!"

The first mate is responsible for the safety of the ship. He saw that the radar controller looked very unhappy and sensed a problem.

"Walk!"

The first officer went to the radar chart with the radar controller.

When he saw the size of the missile warhead on the echo and the trajectory analyzed by the radar, he was a little shocked.

The warhead shown above clearly weighs close to one ton. If such a warhead really hits Iowa, it will definitely cause damage to Iowa.

However, now the trajectory of the missile has clearly changed to a downward dive, and it may hit the sea surface in a minute.

When the downward speed of the missile's trajectory slows down, the horizontal speed increases. The trajectory change achieved by the propellant only turns the missile's original attitude close to vertical into a true water-floating missile.

"Captain, do we need to turn on the missile interception defense system now?" the first mate walked to Renault and asked.

Renault still looked a little unkind. Do I still need to ask him about such a thing? Isn't it possible that the first mate can't decide on such a thing?

"Is the missile really flying towards us?" Renault asked viciously.

The first mate shook his head, "No, but Captain, those are actually heavy anti-ship missiles."

Renault looked at the first officer fiercely: "What about the heavy missiles? Do you think Persia really has such good guidance technology?"

"You know, the local air defense command has just shut down the GPS system in Persia!" A sneer appeared on his face.

It doesn't take much skill to shoot out a one-ton warhead.

And installing a radar on a missile does not require any advanced technology.

But what really reflects the technology is guidance.

The defense capabilities of warships in the world today have been raised to a very high level, forming a three-level defense echelon of far, middle and near. Therefore, breaking through the defense circle is the first level of difficulty faced by missiles.

The most effective way to break through the defensive circle is high speed.

It takes time for the radar to find the target and conduct analysis and confirmation, it also takes time for the fire control radar to lock on, and it takes time to intercept.

The more sufficient time there is, the higher the success rate of interception will be.

Therefore, the most effective way for missiles to improve their penetration success rate is to increase their flight speed and shorten the time for target interception.

This is the reason why hypersonic anti-ship missiles were born, and it is also the advantage of ballistic missiles as anti-ship missiles.

Because ballistic missiles fly at the top of the atmosphere, the detection limit here has exceeded the upper limit of most radars... The range where ballistic missiles can truly be detected is the short window when the missile is launched and when it re-enters the atmosphere.

Needless to say when it was launched, it was an early warning. The United States had already responded to the early warning, which was to turn off the GPS system. This was also the reason why the missile went out of control.

When it re-enters the atmosphere, the missile has already locked on the target, and using the acceleration of descent, the speed will be faster than Mach 10 or more. The system has no time to intercept it.

Because the anti-aircraft missile requires an acceleration process after being launched, and during the acceleration time, the anti-ship missile's initiation attack has arrived.

In addition, there is an effective way to penetrate the defense, that is, sea skimming attack.

The earth is a sphere, so although the sea surface looks flat, it is actually curved.

If the ballistic trajectory can be controlled below fifty meters, then the lower limit of the radar's sounding will be blocked by the curvature of the earth, and the missile will not be able to detect traces until about seven nautical miles.

For hypersonic anti-ship missiles, seven nautical miles is only five to six seconds. In such a short time, it is impossible to intercept.

But it is easy to say, but difficult to do.

The airflow in the atmosphere is constantly changing, and these airflows will have a huge impact on the attitude of the missile itself.

The missile has been moving forward at high speed. In this case, any slight change in the air flow will be magnified exponentially.

Just like if you put pebbles on the rails, low-speed trains can be crushed into powder without any reaction, but high-speed trains will derail because of this small pebble.

In this case, the attitude adjustment system of the missile itself and whether the guidance system can respond promptly and accurately are extremely critical, and it is also the biggest difficulty in anti-ship missile technology.

This kind of technology is currently only available to the three giants, namely Miguo, Maozi, and Huayuan.

Persia, it is impossible to exist in any case!

There was also a smile on the first mate's face, and he realized that his worries were indeed unfounded.

With a smile on his face, he glanced across the radar display screen, and the next second he was suddenly stunned.

"Captain, the trajectory of that missile has changed!"

"It's turning in our direction!".
