Chapter 312: Simulated Battle at Sea
"You're welcome, it's all a gesture. Mavi said, signaling to the two scientists that they should thank the Russian admiral who was standing not far away. Without their permission, no matter how great Ma Wei's ability is, it is impossible to get three ultra-high-performance nuclear submarines at the same time.
"Elder Yuan, in order to make your delegation have a better experience. We, the Russian Navy, have specially prepared a simulated battle at sea, are you interested in watching it?"
This time, the simulated battle at sea is not like before, with indiscriminate bombing. Rather, it is a militarized battle deliberately made in order to reflect the actual combat superiority of nuclear submarines.
The combat units involved in it include anti-submarine aircraft, anti-submarine ships, destroyers, as well as conventionally powered submarines for countermeasures, and much more. The lineup can be described as gorgeous.
"Oh, simulated battle at sea, we're very interested in this. Can you briefly introduce it to us, Ma Wei?" Mr. Yuan Kaimin knows how fierce Russia's military exercises are.
Last time, he witnessed with his own eyes that the combined fleets of Ukraine and Russia sank a battleship with a displacement of 50,000 tons to the bottom of the sea. He still remembers that picture vividly. It's as if you experienced a naval battle, and it's hard to forget.
"Yes, Yuan Lao, the rules of battle are also very simple. These three nuclear submarines in front of you will sink into the deep sea later, and then avoid the search of anti-submarine aircraft, anti-submarine ships, as well as sonar matrices and sonar buoys. A perfect ambush of a modern-class destroyer in the fleet is considered a victory. Otherwise, it is considered a failure. ”
The simulated battle at sea mentioned by Ma Wei is very novel for the visiting delegation of country Z. It can also give them a clear understanding of the strength of Russian nuclear submarines.
After listening to Ma Wei's introduction, the two scientists standing in front of him, Dr. Wang and Dr. Li, immediately glanced at each other.
Six years ago, the 091 attack nuclear submarine they developed confronted the US nuclear submarine on the high seas. In the end, the Americans cooperated with anti-submarine aircraft to counteract communications, which made the navy and scientists very faceless.
The simulated battle that Ma Wei has come up with now is exactly the direction of their research efforts. It's about getting nuclear submarines, how to avoid annoying anti-submarine aircraft, anti-submarines, and there's the sonar matrix.
"Mr. Ma Wei, we are very much looking forward to the performance of your nuclear submarine!" Dr. Wang and Dr. Li were talking. The three nuclear submarines in the harbor gradually sank to the surface of the sea. They will sink into the deep sea below 450 meters, and then, while the adversary searches for them, launch a surprise attack.
Generally speaking, such combat exercises are simulated with electronic simulation equipment. That is to say, whether it hits or doesn't hit, it will all be displayed in the system. But this battle in Ma Wei Lane will obviously not be so simple.
The reason is that the Hyundai-class destroyer, which was labeled as an "attackable warship" at that time, was an old ship that was decommissioned. It will be followed by an unmanned system, following the fleet, to the designated sea area. Then it depends on how well the two sides play against each other. In the end, it was a nuclear submarine, which was discovered first. Or is it a surprise, killing destroyers in seconds.
Everything was real, and Ma Wei did not tell the delegation about this information. Rather, it is kept secret and let them watch it for themselves at that time.
In order to consider the safety of everyone, Ma Wei specially transferred the Mi-26 military helicopter for viewing. It is surrounded by special explosion-proof glass, which allows the delegation of country Z to clearly see the next scene.
With the helicopter, the huge propeller whistled sound, and Ma Wei, who was sitting in the cockpit, couldn't help but say to Yuan Lao beside him, "Yuan Lao, those few ships on the sea are our Russian Albatross-class anti-submarine ships, as well as the Dreadnought-class large anti-submarine ships, which are equipped with Blizzard-type quadruple box anti-submarine missile launchers, which can launch 85R anti-submarine missiles with a range of 55 kilometers......"
Listening to Ma Wei's introduction, Mr. Yuan Kaimin nodded with interest. The representatives of the visiting delegation of country Z, who were also sitting in the cabin, also clearly heard what Ma Wei had just said. Everyone used the same frequency communication headphones (earmuffs). It can not only insulate sound, but also communicate with each other.
Just as Mavi was introducing, dozens of Il-38N anti-submarine aircraft took off from Russia's 1736th air base. Joined the ranks of the Pacific Fleet.
They are an upgraded version of the Il-38 and can monitor ships up to 320 kilometers. In addition, the anti-submarine aircraft is equipped with new thermal sensors and advanced computer equipment, and the performance of other sensors on board has also been greatly enhanced.
"Yuan Lao, there are still 10 nautical miles, and he will enter the simulated battle sea area. At that time, the Il-38N anti-submarine aircraft in front of us will start throwing sonar buoys at the sea. Including anti-submarine ships driving under the surface of the sea, anti-submarine ships on the surface of the sea will turn on the sonar matrix and electronic countermeasures system at the same time to search for all suspicious whereabouts under the surface. ”
The electronic countermeasure system mentioned by Ma Wei is the trick used by the Americans to deal with the domestic 091 attack nuclear submarine. At that time, the electronic equipment in other countries was not very advanced. There is no anti-jamming function.
As Mavi said, when the helicopter flies about 18 kilometers above (1 nautical mile equals 1.8 kilometers). I saw that the Il-38N anti-submarine planes in front of it began to throw sonar buoys on the sea.
Immediately afterwards, a special radar on the helicopter showed that the sonar matrix of the Pacific Fleet was also turned on. It is gradually covering the sea below.
Seeing the situation in front of them, the navy of country Z in the engine room, as well as the nuclear submarine scientists, discussed with each other and said, "Russia's Oscar-class missile nuclear submarine can dive to the bottom of the sea at a depth of 500 meters. Project 971 attack nuclear submarine with a depth of penetration of 600 meters. However, due to the limited scope of simulated operations, it is generally advantageous for the anti-submarine fleet. ”
"As long as the fleet does not rush forward, carefully and carefully search under the surface of the water. I believe that it will be difficult for a nuclear submarine to launch an attack on that destroyer......"
Just as everyone was discussing in a whisper, suddenly, the radar showed that three anti-ship missiles were attacking the modern-class destroyer marked as attackable at a very fast speed!
Everything happened so fast that the dreadnought-class anti-submarine ships, the albatross-class anti-submarine ships, which were guarding the destroyers at a safe distance, did not even have time to react! There was no time to launch anti-missile missiles at them as interceptions.
Seeing this, the representatives of the visiting delegation of country Z showed surprise one after another. I don't know how the nuclear submarine under the surface dodged the sonar matrix search. Sudden attack.
