Chapter 140: Kirov-class nuclear-powered cruiser (third update!)

"Now listen to my command, the bow of the ship is ready for the main guns, and the direction is ...... Distance......"

"Count down to 5 seconds, 5!"

β€œ4!”

β€œ3!”

β€œ2!”

β€œ1!”

"Fire!"

As the captain's voice faded down, only the 130 mm main ship gun mounted in the bow suddenly adjusted its muzzle direction and height. Then I heard a loud "bang!" The guns of the main ship shrank back sharply!

At the same time, two huge shells, with a speed that could not be seen by the naked eye, were frantically blasted out of the muzzles!

The astonishing recoil made everyone in the captain's room obviously feel the entire destroyer shake.

The two shells fired left the smoke of the muzzle far behind. They drew two graceful trajectories in the air, and then with a whistling sound that broke through the air, they ruthlessly attacked the four Petrel-class frigates in front of them!

"Boom! boom!"

Almost at the same time, two shells hit the hull of a frigate with precision.

The powerful explosion instantly pierced the steel plate on the left deck of the frigate! Thick black smoke suddenly drifted out of the ship's hull. It was revealed to everyone that these two shots were perfectly hit.

When I saw the first gun of the ship, I didn't miss. The Ukrainian Navy in the captain's room erupted in cheers. In a joint military exercise of this scale, if the artillery does not hit the "enemy ship," it will be a very humiliating thing. Besides, the other party is still standing still, waiting for them to fight.

If this is all wrong, it will be a disgrace to the world......

"Well done!" said the captain over the walkie-talkie, praising the soldiers who controlled the main ship's guns.

As soon as he finished speaking, the three Modern-class destroyers around him also adjusted their gun muzzles one after another, and carried out fierce artillery strikes on the Haiyan-class frigates in front!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!

Ma Wei, who was standing in the captain's room, looked out the window at the onslaught of artillery fire. As well as 130 mm caliber shells that are constantly flying out.

Some of them hit ships, inflicting huge damage on the frigates. Some crashed into the sea, causing huge waves.

The fish within the range of the shell were directly blown upside down. Although Ma Wei can't see this picture, as a person who has come over, he can imagine it.

After a naval gunfire strike, the deck of the destroyer was filled with smoke. And the four Haiyan-class frigates a kilometer away were destroyed beyond recognition by shells. With their last breath, they were sent to the bottom of the sea.

Mr. Yuan Kaimin and a group of admirals looked at the scene in front of them with a little shock. Sure enough, the modern-class destroyers of Ukraine and Russia have a batch of fierce firepower. Even if this shell does not hit the hull of the ship, the waves that blow it up are extremely spectacular......

"Mr. Yuan Kaimin, how do you feel about the main naval gun attack on our destroyer just now?" Ma Wei asked the Chinese Navy with a smile.

"Very nice. "Mr. Yuan Kaimin, only said these four words. The meaning of this is already very obvious, that is, the Type 956 destroyer is greatly satisfied.

"Thank you, compliment. In addition to the two capital naval guns in the bow and stern, our modern-class destroyers are equipped with two sets of anti-submarine and anti-ship dual-purpose torpedo tubes with a caliber of 533 mm. When fighting at sea at close range, it can effectively penetrate enemy submarines or ships ......"

Anti-submarine and anti-ship dual-purpose torpedoes, which were standard on Soviet destroyers. Although in modern warfare, it is slowly being replaced by other weapons (such as anti-ship missiles, long-range precision strikes).

But this big killer still has a very important position in the hearts of veterans like Yuan Kaimin.

"533 caliber dual-purpose torpedoes?" asked Mr. Yuan Kaimin, who was very interested in Ma Wei.

A 533 mm caliber torpedo can already be considered a heavy torpedo. Compared to 324 mm, 400 mm torpedoes are much more powerful. As long as it hits, it can easily sink a 10,000-ton destroyer! A 6,000-ton ship can be blown into two in an instant like a papier-mΓ’chΓ© torpedo in front of the torpedo......

During World War II, the USS Yorktown and the battleship USS Yamato were both torpedoed and sunk. This thing will either miss, and once it hits, it will be a devastating blow to all ships and submarines in the sea!

"Yes, 533 caliber heavy torpedoes. Ma Wei replied truthfully. To be honest, he had never seen a torpedo fired before, what it looked like. I've seen it in movies before, but those are all special effects, and the real picture needs to be considered.

I remember that in the previous life, Russia also developed a 1,550-millimeter giant nuclear torpedo with a range of up to 10,000 kilometers! A single shot could directly destroy the entire New York! and cause a huge tsunami......

However, just as Mavi answered this, a Project 1144 Kirov-class nuclear-powered cruiser, guided by two tugboats, slowly sailed past Mavi's fleet.

The Kirov-class cruisers, with a full load displacement of more than 25000 tons, are the largest cruisers in the world, and they are also nuclear-powered. The ship can carry more than 400 missiles and has more than 200 missile launches, so it has the title of arsenal ship, and is a very terrifying surface monster.

When Mr. Yuan Kaimin and the naval officer behind him saw the sea monster that was three times larger than the Type 956 destroyer, they slowly dragged it to the front of the fleet.

The expression on Mr. Yuan Kaimin's face showed emotion for the first time!

"That, but the Kirov-class, nuclear-powered missile cruiser? Is this going to use a heavy torpedo to sink it?" Mr. Yuan Kaimin asked Ma Wei with surprise.

Even his old man was shocked, not to mention the group of naval officers standing behind him. At this moment, I couldn't help but look stunned, and I was discussing it in one ear to ear.

"The Russian Navy, and the Ukrainian Navy, are they going to blow up and sink that nuclear-powered cruiser?

"It seems that for the first time I have heard of a country that has bombed a nuclear-powered cruiser in a naval exercise! I'm afraid that other Americans would not dare to do this, right?"

……

Ma Wei listened to everyone's discussions, and then replied to the naval officers, "Yes, Mr. Yuan Kaimin, the one in front of you is a retired Kirov-class nuclear-powered missile cruiser. It is also the final link of this joint military exercise. ”

It's not so much about decommissioning, it's better to say that the nuclear reactor exploded, there was no money to repair it, and it was parked in the port and waited for death for many years...... This is the real reason for the decommissioning of the nuclear-powered cruiser in front.

Of course, before it was towed, the nuclear reactor inside the hull was dismantled long ago. So there is no need to worry about nuclear explosions, nuclear radiation and other hazards.

After listening to what Ma Wei said, Mr. Yuan Kaimin, who was standing in front of him, and all the naval officers were speechless for a long time......
