Ordinary anti-ship missiles are all subsonic, such as the common American Harpoon series, the French Flying Fish series, and the domestic C801 series, which are all subsonic.
Subsonic missiles are mainly simple in control and mature in technology. The Soviets have always liked high speeds. Many of the missiles made by the Soviets are supersonic.
Supersonic missiles, such as flying at a speed of Mach 3, require the reaction time of its control system, which is three times faster than that of a sonic missile. This places higher requirements on its control. Therefore, technically there are Very difficult, and at the same time, the engine adapted to supersonic missiles is also very special, it needs to use a ramjet.
In addition, if the supersonic missile is in the terminal stage, it needs to perform a snake-like maneuver, then it needs higher control capabilities.
Generally speaking, when the missile flies to the end, it faces the interception of the opponent, which is also the most severe. All kinds of small-caliber rapid-fire guns and all kinds of short-range missiles will be intercepted one after another, even if it is on board Sailors, I'm afraid they will also take out automatic rifles to shoot. After all, this is the last interception. If it fails, it will definitely be killed.
Therefore, in the end, the missile will perform a complex curve flight, which is a snake-like maneuver. Such an action requires the response of the guidance system.
Although supersonic missiles have so many technical difficulties, the Soviets still like this kind of missiles because the faster they are, the harder they are to be intercepted!
Why is the MiG-25 difficult to be intercepted? Because of its fast speed, anti-ship missiles need to be fast if they want to not be intercepted!
That year, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the original republics were in a difficult situation. Therefore, the United States had the opportunity to import several Sunburn missiles for testing. The results of the tests were embarrassing to them. The US Navy in the 1990s also This missile cannot be intercepted effectively.
Of course, the Sunburn missile has a very short range. Before it fired, it was sunk by the American aircraft carrier formation. The warship that carried it would not be able to rush to a distance of 100 kilometers during a war. Above, the American defensive circle is at least three hundred nautical miles.
And now, the KH-22 missile, with the lavender tail flames of the ramjet burning on the tail, quickly passed the Tatar interception, and it was rushing toward the Chicago!
At this time, you can catch this flying missile even with the naked eye without using radar!
That huge projectile, the flames burning at the tail, and the thick smoke trailing behind, is simply a killer who specializes in hunting warships!
At this time, it is still accelerating. The ramjet continues to blow in air. The air at high speed is directly compressed and enters the combustion chamber. In the combustion chamber, fuel is injected to generate thrust and push this The missile flew quickly toward this side, sprinting to the most terrifying Mach six!
"Zuo Man Ruo!" At this moment, the captain only had time to give this last command.
The last way to avoid enemy missiles is to change your course.
If it is a fighter in the sky, because of its high maneuverability, it will fly head-to-head, and then suddenly maneuver with a large overload, which can be avoided. However, a 10,000-ton warship has quite large inertia and poor maneuverability.
Can you avoid it
Nobody knows.
The sailor on duty, after hearing the command of the captain, immediately killed the steering wheel in front of him. The rudder surface at the tail moved slammingly to push the sea to the left. The sea was pushed to the left, giving the stern force to the right. , The stern is to the right, and the bow is naturally to the left.
The Chicago, which was racing at a speed of 32 knots, began to turn.
If you are riding a bicycle or a motorcycle, you know that you must lean to the inside when turning, otherwise you will be thrown out. On a warship, the steering during high-speed navigation will also produce centrifugal force.
The warship will not automatically tilt to the inside. In this case, the warship’s hull will tilt to the outside.
The hull slapped against the sea, the waves were surging, and the hull was turning quickly, drawing a beautiful arc on the sea. At the same time, the huge hull was tilted to the outside because of the centrifugal force, because the turning was too strong, so, The tilt of the ship's hull is also quite terrifying, reaching thirty degrees!
This is a test that a warship must do before it leaves the factory. It is full of rudders at full speed. If the ship is overturned, the ship is unqualified. Now, the warship is turning frantically, although the hull is extremely tilted. Fear, but it won’t be turned over automatically.
At the same time, when the hull is tilted, the height of the hull begins to decrease.
It’s a basic common sense that the tilt will become lower if it stands up to the highest point.
That huge missile slammed into it at the same time that the Chicago was full of rudder on the left!
When the missile is flying, it is at an ultra-low altitude, and after it approaches the target, it will climb up. When it finds the target, a dive attack is the best choice.
This KH-22 missile dived down from the air, and the position it aimed at was the waterline of the Chicago.
Its aiming is advanced, aiming at the speed and direction of the Chicago just now. Now, when the Chicago is suddenly full of rudder, it is also rapidly adjusting, and the control circuit inside the missile is fast Ground adjustment, the electromechanical commander is changing the rudder surface of the missile. The missile adjusts its direction and continues to pounce fiercely.
In everyone's eyes, that missile is getting bigger and bigger.
At the bow of the ship, a sailor stubbornly grasped the railing. During the huge steering overload, he kept his balance. In his retina, there were all that terrible missile.
Then, his head shrank. Then I smelled a burnt odor, and my ears buzzed and hummed non-stop.
That huge missile actually flew over his head!
The missile pierced through the space between the bridge and the launch pad in front of it, and the huge wings flew over the sailor's head without rubbing the slightest device.
At the speed of Mach 6, the air around the missile was compressed during the flight. It is possible that the ears of the people near it would be squeezed due to the sudden pressure on the ears, and the flame at the tail actually scorched the sailor’s head. s hair.
It and Chicago passed by!
This feeling of escaping from the dead is really exciting. The captain felt that his back was soaked. God bless!
"Boom!" The missile exploded violently at the moment it plunged into the sea water. The sea water was raised more than ten meters high, and shrapnel flying around spread out. (End of this chapter)
