Babylonian Empire

However, it was not space that started first, but sea.

After occupying the Gaza area, Iraq has declared that the nearby waters are the territorial waters of the State of Palestine, and no ships are allowed to sail within 12 nautical miles of the coast without the approval of the State of Palestine.

However, the Israelis are used to it. They have sailed here for more than 20 years, preventing aid from the sea to the Gaza Strip, and there has never been an Iraqi navy here.

Israel has a strong air force, which is their white sword. Compared with the air force, the importance of the army has declined. However, the smaller one is the navy. For Israel, they do not have ocean voyages and compete for maritime rights The necessity, their threats are mainly the surrounding Arab countries, and the main task of the Israeli navy is offshore defense, for example, to blockade the waters of Gaza, check weapons smuggling, etc., even the United Nations rescue ships have to go through They made things difficult in every possible way, but they were not allowed to transport them in.

After Iraq completely resolved the Gaza issue, it transported a large amount of supplies from the Sinai Peninsula into the Gaza area. At the same time, the shore-to-ship missile force also entered the Gaza coastal area.

To deal with the Israeli Navy, which has only a few hundred tons of patrol boats, using Iraq's self-produced anti-ship missiles is simply overkill.

The night was getting darker, and at 6:6, three 1*[-] Benchi off-road trucks slowly approached the coast of Gaza.The battle has just passed two days, and the place seems to be filled with gunpowder as before.

()

The first thousand and 110 chapter three Saar-5 was sunk

On the back of one of the trucks, there are double-mounted square anti-ship missile launchers, and its launchers are loaded with Iraqi-produced anti-ship missiles.

This kind of missile is produced by using the C801 series anti-ship missile technology imported from China. Since the body, engine and warhead have not been modified, the range is still [-] kilometers.However, its seeker is already different from the original one.Iraq used its own technology to improve it, adopting a more accurate inertial navigation system, active radar seeker and solid circuit, and its accuracy, hit rate and ability to resist electromagnetic interference have all made great progress.

On the surface of the sea, a warship was sailing. It set out from Haifa, passed Tel Aviv, and was still sailing south.

From the appearance, this warship seems to have conformed to the trend of history and adopted a stealth design. Moreover, this stealth design is not just an upward-sloping shape, but the surface of its hull and superstructure is painted low. Emissivity materials to reduce optoelectronic signatures.The excellent design of the hull shape, the increase of anti-wave devices and radar absorbing materials, reduces the probability of being detected by radar.The infrared signature produced by gas turbines and diesel generators is reduced by injecting water.

This is Israel's new generation of frigates, the Saar-5, which has entered service with the Israeli Navy earlier than in history.Now, although the military operations on land and in the air are not very smooth, but at sea, no conflicts have broken out so far. Therefore, the Israeli Navy is still performing its own patrol missions. According to the control of the Israeli Navy on the 1st among!

It's not that they are arrogant, but now that the skies over Gaza have calmed down, the Arab warplanes have not taken off, so the Israeli navy doesn't have to be afraid.Moreover, although this kind of warship has a displacement of only 1200 tons, it is small and complete, especially the anti-aircraft missiles, which is also an aspect that makes them very proud.

In addition to Harpoon anti-ship missiles, MK-46 torpedoes, naval guns and other weapons, this warship is also equipped with a vertically launched Barak air defense missile developed by Israel itself. This missile has a range of ten kilometers and a total weight of 98 kilograms. , the warhead weighs as much as 22 kilograms, which is called "the line of defense that will never be broken" by the Israelis.

However, like many weapons in Israel, it boasted that it is higher than Yao, and how it is in actual combat has to be tested.A radar on the top of the battleship is constantly rotating, monitoring the surrounding targets.

On the coastline, another off-road vehicle also started to move, uncovering the camouflage net above it, and a sea-facing radar slowly rose up.

Just now, I received the data from the early warning aircraft. An Israeli warship dispatched from Haifa and slowly approached here. If the Israeli navy wants to provoke the coastal defense zone established by Iraq, then let them try it!

Iraq really didn't pay attention to the Israeli navy. They were all missile boats with a displacement of several hundred tons.

They didn't know that this time it was a big guy, Israel's first and only frigate with a displacement of more than a thousand tons to enter service. However, due to the many stealth designs of this frigate, the radar screen It shows that it is indeed similar to a small missile boat.

After the radar was turned on, it immediately captured the target. At the same time, the fire control computer started to operate, continuously inputting various launch data into the two anti-ship missiles.

One minute later, all the launch preparations were completed. Then, with a flash of fire, the booster of an anti-ship missile was ignited, driving the missile, and leaving the launch tube. Then, the second anti-ship missile also Fly out of the launch tube.

After the launch was completed, they immediately packed their equipment and moved away.

There are only two anti-ship missiles flying at a speed of Mach 0.8 according to the preset trajectory.

The Saar-5 has a very high degree of automation, so that this kind of thousand-ton frigate only needs 70 people to operate.For example, the mechanical control system does not need to be operated by personnel, and the automatic control and monitoring of all main engines, auxiliary engines, and damage control can be completed by three structurally adjustable consoles in the ship's mechanical control room.

Israel has a small income, so it has always attached great importance to this aspect.

Two missiles skimmed over the sea at low altitude and flew towards the missile boat. Using two anti-ship missiles that were strong enough to severely damage the destroyer to deal with a small missile boat seems to be too cruel. However, Iraq is so What I did was to hurt the Jewish people, and then return to the negotiating table obediently.

However, using advanced technology, the Saar-5 frigate produced in the United States is definitely not a vegetarian. At fifteen kilometers away, missiles flying over the sea have been found.

However, it only found one. Since the two missiles were launched successively, the latter one had not been detected by Saar-5's radar at this time.

"Three on the left rudder, four forward." The Saar-5 captain immediately ordered: "Ready to launch anti-aircraft missiles!"

When the anti-ship missiles flew in, instead of launching the anti-aircraft missiles immediately, they made a turning action first. This was also a last resort, because at this time, the direction the opponent was shooting from was not within Barak's perspective. .

Although the Barak system has the ability to launch vertically, the control station of this radio command-guided missile is not at the highest position on the warship, and it has no all-round viewing angle, so it can only attack missiles within a fan-shaped area. intruder.

This is an aspect that the developers are unwilling to disclose. It is a very difficult design to equip a warship with a thousand-ton displacement with more anti-aircraft missiles. Therefore, they had to make the missiles launch vertically. That's all the reason, because the Saar-5's deck is too small.

Although launched vertically, Saar-5 does not have multi-channel quick response and the ability to deal with saturation attacks. In order to expand the viewing angle, it uses two sets of control equipment. However, they deal with threats in different directions separately, and It does not have the ability to attack multiple targets in one direction, and its performance is simply not as good as that of the Sea Rattlesnake fired at an oblique angle.

During the turning process of the Saar-5, a missile was ready.

"Boom!" A burst of flames burst out, and a Barak missile flew out from the front deck.

Although the location of the target was known, the Barak missile did not rush directly to the target after flying out, but continued to fly upwards.

Due to the torque problem of the rudder surface, only when the speed is sufficient, the rudder surface of the missile can successfully pry the missile and complete the steering action. For other anti-aircraft missiles fired at an angle, after finding the target, the anti-aircraft missile launcher will immediately Turn, head in the direction of the target, and then fire.

Therefore, in terms of actual launch capability, vertical launch is not more advantageous than oblique launch against targets that are very close. The advantage of vertical launch is that it can launch a large number of missiles at the same time. After finishing one, the other will be reloaded immediately and fired again. However, there is absolutely no simultaneous firing capability of vertical firing.

In order to be able to turn quickly after take-off, some missiles use vector nozzles.

After taking off, the Barak missile first rushed up to a height of several hundred meters, then turned and flew towards its target.

At this moment, they were surprised to find that the second anti-ship missile flew!

"Release electromagnetic interference and prepare for the second missile." The captain ordered urgently.

At this time, they suddenly felt very troublesome. At this time, the warship cannot change its course. Otherwise, if it leaves the fan-shaped area of ​​the guidance equipment, it will not be able to continue to guide its own missiles. Before the first missile hits the opponent, it cannot continue to launch the second missile. of two missiles.

They could only start to release electromagnetic interference, hoping to interfere with the opponent's flight. This trick was used in the original naval battle, and none of the Styx missiles launched by the Egyptian missile boats hit.

But now, it might not be so easy for them to use this trick again.

The Barak missile that had been launched began to fly towards the target after diving down. At this time, it was not yet time for the anti-ship missile to make its final snake-like maneuver.

The Barak missile has a huge warhead and a charge of 22 kilograms, which is definitely a lot. However, this is also a method that Barak has to adopt due to lack of technology. It uses the simplest command to the line of sight, similar to Sa M2.However, it uses the ka-band radar to project the line of sight. This wavelength is slightly longer, and its resolution causes the diameter of the miss to increase after the distance exceeds 5000 meters. However, in order to save costs and reduce technical difficulties, it does not use millimeter waves or Lasers with shorter wavelengths are used to improve arc-second accuracy. Therefore, the off-target diameter is larger, so exaggerated and powerful warheads have to be used.

Now, when he flew to a distance of 7000 meters, Barak finally intercepted the anti-ship missile, and it exploded at a distance of more than ten meters away from the anti-ship missile.

After the explosion, the anti-ship missile was still flying.

After continuing to fly for 1000 meters, he suddenly tilted his body and fell into the sea water.

The crew members on the warship tensed up, and finally relaxed later. Then, the second missile was also launched into the air, ready to intercept the second anti-ship missile that flew in.

However, when it ascended to heaven and then swooped down with sufficient speed, the missile had already approached a distance of only 3000 meters.

At this distance, the anti-ship missile has entered the final snake-like maneuvering stage.

When the anti-ship missile began to maneuver, the Barak missile in the sky was already dizzy.

Due to poor control accuracy due to technical problems, and the low speed of the missile increases the control accumulation time, which leads to the fact that the Barak missile has almost no interception ability when dealing with high-maneuverability targets.

The anti-ship missile plunged into the Saar-5 above the waterline, and then there was a big explosion.
