Soviet Union 1991

First update

After the Andropov and the Red Ukraine completed the first round of interception, when the remaining target aircraft entered the range of 30 kilometers, the PLA's 956 Sovremenny-class destroyer would open the top radar to search for targets, and then open two MR-90 illumination radars to guide four SA-N-7 Hurricane missiles for the second round of interception. The illumination radar can lock two targets at a time. When the Swift UAV entered the range of 30 kilometers, the Sovremenny-class destroyer locked the target aircraft with the help of the illumination radar and intercepted them within the 30-kilometer death zone. No one can escape the pursuit of air defense missiles.

After the search radar entered the combat state, it searched in azimuth at a speed of 12 rpm and scanned in pitch at the same time. When the Swift UAV that broke through the previous air defense firepower network was found, it transmitted coarse-precision dot-trace video signals to the ship's target distribution station and OK-10B air situation and firepower distribution station at a data rate of once every 2.5 seconds.

"Target found. Two enemy aircraft that have broken through the first air defense network are being locked." The operator began to get busy, closely watching the movement of the dots on the screen. The target aircraft has appeared within the range of the ballistic missile. As long as the target is locked, they can launch missiles to destroy it.

When the central computer has calculated the optimal ballistic parameters and launch inclination of the Hurricane missile, it will input these data into the missile launch device, which will complete the flight parameter setting of the missile, the rotation of the launcher, and the launch of the missile.

"The target has been locked, please give instructions." The operator in the air defense combat command room waited for the captain's order and pressed the red launch button.

"Missile launch." The captain gave the order decisively.

Four Hurricane missiles slowly rose on the destroyer and then flew towards the predetermined target. Everyone was looking at this historic scene. The service of the Modern-class destroyer changed the embarrassing situation that China's main warships did not have air defense missiles. At the same time, it also announced to the United States that our navy is moving towards a new realm.

After the Hurricane missile was released from the launcher, it executed the command of the program flight. After about 4 seconds of flight, the radar seeker on the missile began to search for the target. At this time, the probability of intercepting the target has reached 98%. When the radar seeker of the Hurricane missile intercepted the target, the missile began to intercept the Swift target aircraft with an arc trajectory.

The Hurricane missile was always above the target aircraft during the flight, like a hawk staring at its target, so that the missile's fuse beam would not touch the sea surface. When it was about to approach the target aircraft, the missile approached at a dive angle of about 20 degrees. Under the watchful eyes of the public, the missile completed the combat plan of destroying the target within the established range.

Everyone in the command and operations room cheered, and the captain, who was always rigid and serious, also smiled very rarely. Although the system of the modern-class destroyer is the export model of the sa-n-7, and its performance is lower than the sa-n-7 Hurricane missile used by the Soviet Union, this system is of far-reaching significance to the Chinese Navy. It brought the Chinese Navy the first missile with preliminary regional air defense capabilities. It got rid of the embarrassing situation that the People's Navy has been relying on point air defense missiles such as the HQ-61 and HQ-7 to serve as fleet air defense.

The last air defense mission was completed by the 1144-type Kirov. So far, it is one of the few cruisers equipped with the SA-N-9 Tor air defense missile. As a ship-to-air missile transplanted from the roadbed to the ship, the SA-N9 short-range air defense missile system adopts many new technologies and has advanced performance. The Soviet Union only equipped its own navy and did not export it abroad. This is also one of the Soviet Union's secret short-range weapons. This time it was specially unveiled in the Pacific Ocean to let Americans know clearly the terrible strength of the steel giant wave.

According to the Soviet Navy's naval development ideas, any ship is to safely escort ballistic missile nuclear submarines into the launch position, so the Red Navy's maritime ships pay special attention to air defense and anti-ship capabilities. Even if it is an aircraft carrier battle group, the first task is not to directly fight with the opponent, but to give priority to protecting ballistic missile nuclear submarines.

When the high beam used to search for mid-air targets on the Kirov cruiser intercepted the movement of the target aircraft, it immediately sent relevant information to the phased array coarse interception radar and completed the mission of missile launch. The launch silo cover on the Kirov slowly opened, and the missile had entered the final launch preparation state. At this time, the search radar has completed its mission, and the interception radar will take over next.

After the missile was launched, the Cross Sword radar began to track the missile. The radar can guide 8 sa-n-9 missiles to attack 4 target aircraft targets at the same time. This is a completely familiar thing for the Kirov. After destroying three target aircraft targets, an unexpected situation occurred.

"Sir, our last sa-n-9 missile cannot be guided. It seems that serious electronic interference has hindered our guidance radar." The operator immediately reported the situation to the commander of the Kirov.

"Really? This is a small accident in the joint military exercise." The experienced captain of the Kirov was not intimidated by this difficulty. After all, this is an exercise that the whole world is paying attention to, and it is impossible for it to fall into his hands.

"Switch to the TV tracker immediately to track and guide the target drone and missile."

"Understood." The operator said.

After switching to TV tracking, the image on the screen was a little blurry, but the movement of the missile and the target drone could still be seen clearly. The operator guided the supersonic missile to fly to the target.

"There are five seconds left before we make contact with the target, four seconds, three seconds, two seconds, one second."

The captain clenched his fists and stared at the target drone on the screen, which was getting bigger and bigger.

Finally, in a dazzling fire, the last of the eight target drones ended its mission of being hit by missiles, disintegrated into countless fragments and fell into the Pacific Ocean.

"Accurately focus on the target, all eight target drones were destroyed." The operator breathed a sigh of relief, and the captain of the Kirov took off his hat and wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

"The next fish that slipped through the net will be handed over to the Kashtan air defense missiles on the Type 956 destroyer. Our mission has been completed, but I don't know what the Americans who are monitoring our movements hundreds of miles away will think." The captain of the Kirov is somewhat looking forward to what the United States will do next.

Further intensify the conflict, or choose to withdraw and compromise?

However, the US fleet is clearly in a state of panic. The Nimitz aircraft carrier battle group stationed off the coast of Taiwan has already headed for the joint exercise. The captain of the Nimitz aircraft carrier has received an order from the Pentagon that unless he receives a top order from the Department of Defense, he cannot take a step back in the next confrontation!

An even more terrible conflict is brewing. (To be continued.)
