Red Soviet Union

Among the Soviet naval equipment, the most dazzling is the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Kremlin, followed by the conventional-powered aircraft carrier Soviet, and then the Kirov-class nuclear-powered warship with a displacement of 20,000 tons.

These warships are shrouded in great brilliance, but, in fact, in the entire Soviet naval sequence, the most cost-effective is the Glory-class cruiser!

Since the 1960s, the Soviet Union's surface ships have continued to develop, and they have suffered from the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Soviet Union has realized the weakness of the navy.

After that, the Kirov class began to be built in the early and mid-1970s. This kind of warship escorted the newly built Soviet aircraft carrier, attacked the US aircraft carrier, and served as the formation's air defense and anti-submarine missions.

After the Kirov class was built, this kind of warship took on the design task very well. However, because the Kirov class ship uses nuclear power and has a full load displacement of up to 24,300 tons, the construction and maintenance costs are huge, and it is difficult to build and use in batches. In other words, this kind of warship cannot be equipped in batches.

Therefore, in order to cooperate with the Soviet ocean-going aircraft carrier and make up for the shortcomings of the Kirov class, the Soviet Union began to build an economical and reduced version of the Kirov class, which is the Glorious class!

The Glory class uses gas turbine propulsion, which greatly reduces the cost of construction and maintenance of warships. At the same time, this kind of warship has a displacement of 12,000 tons, which is just the right size and has a good effect on escorting aircraft carriers.

Four warships of this kind have now been completed. Among them, the Admiral Robov is the latest one to enter service.

In later generations, the sharp weakening of Russia's national power prevented them from maintaining a huge military strength like the Soviet era, and the navy continued to shrink. The aircraft carriers were decommissioned and sold one by one, and the Kirov class was also decommissioned. Only the Glory class, relying on its outstanding cost-effective ratio, has been retained and has become the main warship and even the flagship of the three major fleets of the Russian Navy.

And the last Admiral Robov was even more ill-fated. Historically, when the Soviet Union disintegrated, the Black Sea Shipyard did not build this warship. Therefore, this warship was left to Ukraine and named Ukraine.

Ukraine can't afford this kind of super warship, so Ukraine wants to sell it.

Russia wants to buy it, but Russia doesn't want to spend money, and he has no money. Huaxia wants to buy it most, and he has money. However, due to factors such as the international political environment, Huaxia finally missed this kind of warship.

If Huaxia was able to purchase the Ukrainian at that time, then the Huaxia Navy would definitely have a national treasure. (Every time I think of this incident, the hero of East China also feels a pity. However, although our country did not buy it, we still got the above Rif-m air defense missile.)

And now, with the substantial development of the Soviet Union's economy, the construction of the navy is also quite rapid. The Admiral Robov, which was built two years ahead of schedule in 1982, was completed at the beginning of this year. Sea trials, now, join the Black Sea Fleet and carry out missions together.

These two Glory-class ships are smaller versions of the Kirov-class ships, and they are similar in terms of carrying weapons.

They all carry p-500 basalt missiles! This is the killer weapon tailored by the Soviet Navy for the US Navy aircraft carrier, a heavy-duty long-range supersonic anti-ship missile! NATO codenamed ss-n-12 sandbox!

This kind of missile is arranged on both sides of the front of the ship's bow, four rows each, two in each row, a total of sixteen! The entire Glory class, if nothing else, just look at these anti-ship missiles, you can see the momentum of this warship! Mighty, spectacular!

After turning around, the two Glory-class ships broke away from the formation and began to accelerate! At the maximum speed of 30 knots, the launch covers on both sides are all open!

Launch! On the Glory, the captain shouted loudly.

Target data has been stapled, SATCOM data link good! At the same time, the early warning aircraft has locked the target and transmitted the data synchronously. For the Glorious class, there is only one task left, to launch the missile!

emission!

Missile casing made of titanium alloy,

Emerge from inside the launch box, shining in the sunlight!

The pointed head is exposed first, then the projectile body, and finally the engine!

After the first missile was launched, thick smoke enveloped the entire warship! The two external solid rocket boosters at the tail are ignited first to accelerate the missile! When the speed of the missile exceeds Mach 1, the external solid rocket booster will fall off, and the liquid rocket ramjet engine of the main cruise will follow and ignite.

emission!

The p-500 missiles flew out of the launch tube at intervals of one second, and the entire sea surface was shrouded in thick smoke, just like rockets, flying out one by one, carrying the murderous aura from hell, and began to attack !

Two Glory-class ships, 32 missiles, were launched within ten seconds!

In the past, this kind of missile needed to rely on the carrier's Ka-27 helicopter for relay guidance. On the real battlefield, this is of course quite nonsense. The aircraft carrier formation is going to attack! Can the Ka-27 helicopter fly to seas hundreds of kilometers away from warships to provide relay guidance? It will definitely be shot down by other carrier-based aircraft!

But now, it is no longer needed. The scanning range of the early warning aircraft is large enough to help transmit target information over one's own fleet. At the same time, satellites in outer space are also firmly locking the position of the US aircraft carrier formation! Through the data link, these missiles are constantly getting data!

These missiles are the saturation attack tactics that the Soviet Navy has always advocated!

When the U.S. formations were constantly aware of the threat of air defense systems, they invented the Aegis system. They wanted to rely on vertically launched air defense missiles and phased array radars to complete the task of guarding their own airspace. At the same time, in order to break through The American air defense system, the Soviet Union continues to develop its own saturation attack tactics!

Saturation attack is to attack the enemy's defense line with numerical superiority. Even if the enemy's defensive firepower can destroy part of the attacking force, when the number exceeds the upper limit of defensive energy, the remaining attacking force will break through the defense line and destroy the center of gravity of the defense.

In fact, this is what it means. If the missiles launched in the past exceed the upper limit that the opponent can deal with, they will be able to break through the opponent's air defense circle!

The Aegis warship, the most advanced warship in the United States, brags all day long that it is impossible for any missile to break through their defense line, in fact?

If it is true that no missile can break through their defenses in later generations, Aegis is unbreakable. However, in front of the Red Navy, Aegis is just a joke!
