Chapter 685: Eagle Strike-91A's Attack (2)
The problem brought by high-speed attacks is that the reaction time of the defense system needs to be shortened!
If a subsonic anti-ship missile of Mach 0.8 flies, the system can respond adequately, and now, if an anti-ship missile of Mach 3.5 flies, the reaction time of the air defense system will be shortened to less than a quarter of the original!
In such a short period of time, needless to say, the Sam-7 missile, even the American Aegis system, may not be able to guarantee the success rate of interception! In later generations, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States tried all kinds of ways to get the Soviet-era supersonic anti-ship missile, that is, it wanted to test the reaction capability of its own air defense system.
There is no solution to this interception.
"630 rapid-fire guns! 630 rapid-fire guns! Pruville shouted that in the face of this missile attack, the performance of the SAM-7 is limited, and if you want to fight back, the Ak630 naval gun is more suitable.
The AK630 naval gun is a fully automatic six-barreled 30mm Gatling cannon, installed in a fully automatic enclosed turret with radar and CCTV guidance, which belongs to the shipboard short-range defense weapon system, which is mainly designed to combat anti-ship missiles. Similar to the US phalanx system, the principle of this defense is to rely on pouring a large number of projectiles in a short period of time to form a barrage in the air, and even if only one shell hits, it will kill the incoming missile.
This naval gun has a maximum rate of fire of up to 10,000 rounds per minute and a range of 500 to 5,000 meters. This rate of fire was the highest in the later active weapon system. And the maximum range when dealing with low-flying anti-ship missiles is 4,000 meters.
If you want to deal with supersonic anti-ship missiles, you can only rely on this!
Pruville shouted loudly, but no one responded, and he remembered that at the time of departure, only a part of the crew had come up. The personnel responsible for operating the Ak630 naval guns are still in the barracks in the port!
Damn it! At this time, Pruville did not hesitate, he strode under the bridge, since there was no one, he could only get on it himself!
OK. This cannon is an automatic weapon with a fully enclosed turret, so you don't need to drill into the turret, just reach the console below.
As a captain, one of the necessary requirements is to be able to operate all weapons! A captain also needs to rise step by step from a sailor.
That anti-ship missile in the air, flying over at a rapid pace, at a distance of fifty kilometers, suddenly. The signal is gone.
It was definitely not a fall into the sea, but according to the procedure at the time of launch, at this distance, it began to turn from high altitude to low altitude and carry out a supersonic sea-skimming attack!
Clutter on the surface of the sea can affect the radar of a warship, and a sea-skimming flight will greatly shorten the observation distance of the radar, in an instant, except for the radar operator. The rest of the crew on the warship held their breath. And the engineer in the cabin in the back. I've already started to run up desperately.
In case you get hit, it's always easier to escape on deck!
With a blazing flame in the tail, the ramjet engine greedily absorbs the oxygen in the air, and then helps the fuel burn, which is converted into power, propelling the titanium alloy missile to fly quickly.
Bomb-loaded advanced electronics. It is constantly working, and the active radar seeker in front has been turned on!
Suddenly, the huge target in the sector area appeared in the field of vision of the YJ-91A missile. Fixed its own direction, in the program settings, the last program has been started.
Flying at high altitude can greatly increase the range, and then fly close to the sea surface after approaching, so that the opponent's radar will lose the target, and after approaching, the last means of penetration is still a serpentine maneuver!
On the Delhi-class destroyer, the one-arm launcher in the bow of the ship flashed with fire, and thick smoke covered half of the bridge, and in the thick smoke, a SAM-7 missile rose into the air.
The irradiation radar turned, staring closely at the incoming anti-ship missile, and if the SAM-7 could be used to kill the missile, the personnel on the warship could breathe a sigh of relief.
Just now, the guidance system of the SAM-7 has been successfully locked, and whether it can be destroyed or not depends on the matter of these few seconds!
The SAM-7, which is launched with one arm, does not need to hit the air and then turn around like a hanging hair, and flies directly in the direction of the target!
At this time, the huge anti-ship missile on the sea with obvious radar echoes suddenly writhed like an old lady dancing in the street!
The wings are deflected, the missile is deflected to the left, and then it flies to the right, and at a huge speed, every change of course will cause great trouble to the other side, and the fire control system of the SAM-7 is constantly calculating, calculating, but it has never been able to keep up with the flying missile!
Finally, a hundred meters to the side of the missile, the Sam-7 flew diagonally, and the distance from the anti-ship missile was simply not enough to detonate the proximity fuse!
Missile interception failed!
At this point, the distance is already less than ten kilometers! For an anti-ship missile flying at Mach 3.5, it's only ten seconds!
Ten seconds! Pruville looked at the display of the A-213-Vympel-A radar, optical and closed-circuit television control system of the AK630 naval gun, and this system could not accurately intercept the target!
At this time, the YJ-91 missile had already entered the final attack process, and in addition to performing a serpentine maneuver, the height had dropped to seven meters! That's the limit for a high-speed flight at Mach 3!
Can't wait any longer! Pruville's hand, pressed on the button, manually controlled the Ak630 naval gun firing.
"Buzz." First of all, the sound of the action of the hydraulic system, followed, countless shells, on the bomb delivery mechanism, were pushed into the barrel of the gun in turn, the barrel rotated, and countless fires came out of the muzzle, and in the firelight, there were countless projectiles, forming a huge barrage, blocking the front!
Although it is claimed that tens of thousands of rounds per minute, in fact, a few seconds is only enough time for Pruvel to shoot 2,000 rounds, and these projectiles fly forward, seemingly capable of intimate contact with anti-ship missiles.
However, this is just wishful thinking! Even the automatic control system cannot accurately capture the target, and how can the manual keep up with the missiles flying at high speed above Mach three!
The YJ-91A missile just performed another serpentine maneuver in a dashing manner, and all those projectiles fell behind it.
Closer, closer! The titanium front end of the YJ-91A has already made close contact with the hull of the Delhi-class destroyer! The three-hundred-kilogram warhead exploded in an instant, and with the liquid fuel that had not been burned, it made an earth-shattering sound.
"Boom!" With the explosion, the interior of the Delhi-class hull that was easily torn apart made a dull sound, and the entire hull shook violently.
Even if there is no warhead, only the battleship can withstand the collision of a missile flying from Mach 3 on the hull, and now, a warhead with more than twice the charge of an ordinary anti-ship missile will immediately tear the Delhi-class apart!
The Delhi-class destroyer, from the middle of the hull, the location of the explosion, with a sound that made the roots of the teeth soften, broke apart!
The Delhi-class destroyer, with a displacement of less than 7,000 tons, but its armament is the scale of a 10,000-ton destroyer, which was originally unreasonable, but now, under the attack of anti-ship missiles, the hulls of the two parts are pulled to both sides, and the hull is broken from the attacked position in an instant!
The pride of Indians, the symbol of domestic weapons, the Delhi-class destroyer, just like that, was killed by a heavy supersonic anti-ship missile!
At the tearing opening, the sea water continued to pour up, and at this time, those officers and men who came out of the engine room realized what a correct choice they had just made!
They jumped into the sea one after another, struggling in the surging waves.
Another Rajput class suffered the same fate, the old Sam-1 anti-aircraft missile, which was simply unable to intercept supersonic anti-ship missiles, and the displacement of 4,000 tons could not block the sharp blow of the YJ-91A.
In this way, the two destroyers sank into the water within a few minutes after being shot, and apart from the contaminated large expanse of heavy oil seawater, and the Indian Navy officers and men who were desperately struggling on the surface of the sea, only the flying seabirds witnessed all this.
Pakistan's new anti-ship missile, with this naval battle, has also become completely famous!
The sea breeze is blowing, and the sea is gradually calming back.
On land, the battle continues.
Only by capturing the city of Kolkata could it advance to the port, and the Pakistani army did not use helicopter gunships because of the anti-aircraft weapons of the warships that arrived at the port.
After all, those warships are already Pakistan's wealth if they are not started, and if they are attacked directly from the air, they will definitely cause damage to these warships, and in order to receive these warships in good condition, Pakistan has decided to adopt a steady and steady approach.
'Boom!' The 120-mm gun of the Leopard-2 tank roared, a grenade flew over, and a building opposite was reduced to rubble. Just now, gunners appeared there and fired at the attacking troops.
The bullet hit the tank, it was just an itch, and the tank gun fired a shell, and the other side was buried.
The infantry, which followed the tanks on either side, followed the rapid advance, passing through the main city of Calcutta, and rapidly advancing in the direction of the port.
Time passed little by little, and when the brief resistance was cleared, the armored forces did not encounter any further counterattacks along the way, and just like that, they drove directly to the port.
When they saw the aircraft carrier moored in the harbor through the periscope of the tank, the Pakistani tank crews couldn't help but be very excited.
"Report, our side has captured the port, and the Indian Navy's aircraft carrier Virat is still in the port!" The commander of the tank excitedly reported: "We have captured the aircraft carrier of the Indian Navy!" ”
Although they had not yet completely rushed to the aircraft carrier, looking at the panicked flight of the Indian GIs in the port, the vanguard knew that this place had been recovered by their own side! (To be continued.) )
