Chapter 919: THAAD Missile Defense System!
"It turned out to be the commander-in-chief, which can be regarded as equivalent,......."
"Yes! Oh, yes! .......”
Sele, a commander and two generals, discussed with each other for a while, and then they paid attention to it.
"Okay, Mr. Black Wolf, let's take the previous unpleasantness, a misunderstanding. I would now like to set out my point of view.
First of all, there are the criminals of the Skeleton Legion, these people have committed crimes in the territory of my Western Zealand, please hand them over to us unconditionally.
What kind of bonus to ask, this request, this is too rude,......." said the general of Seseles.
"You didn't tell them?"
Ye Xiuwen ignored the general of the Western Seriel, but asked the captain of the special forces.
The captain of the special forces of Seselie spread his hands, meaning, I can't do anything about it.
"I'm sorry, but the person who captured the two Skeleton Legion mercenaries is an old couple from our Huaxia,......."
"But now, those two criminals are in the hands of your Huaxia military,........" The general of Selie interrupted Ye Xiuwen's words.
"So be it! Since you are so resolute, I will release these two men back to you Zesereel, and then you will take them yourself,.......
Let the bugs go, and then ask a few people to leave, we're going to set sail,......."
Ye Xiuwen got up and said, the insect nodded and made a gesture of please.
"You are so rude, I want to talk to your Supreme Commander,......." said the commander of Sicelere, angrily.
"Is there something wrong with your ears? ....... I'll tell you again, I'm ,.......," Ye Xiuwen said word by word.
"I'm not talking about you, it's your supreme commander in Huaxia, I'm going to accuse you!" The commander of Sicelel said viciously. The two generals beside him nodded together. I think that the commander's decision is correct.
Since the person in front of him is not polite, then find someone who can manage him and see how arrogant he is.
The two generals looked at Ye Xiuwen with an oath, and said in their hearts: This time, I don't think you will compromise?
"I'm sorry, our communication equipment is broken, and we are rushing to repair ,......."
"Poof!"
Ye Xiuwen smiled and waved his hand, and the commander and the two generals of Xiselie almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
"Okay, you're really lawless, give them the money ,......."
The commander of Celele, helpless, ordered one of the generals to take the money.
A stack of dollars was placed in front of Ye Xiuwen, about 10,000 yuan.
"Wait,......." Ye Xiuwen said in vain.
"What's wrong with you?" The general of Seseled breathed.
"More, these are returned to you,......."
Ye Xiuwen threw out a part, and then put the rest of the money into his pocket, and after a while, he handed it over to Uncle Huaxia and Auntie, these are what they deserve.
But at this time, the generals and commanders of Secel still had no intention of leaving.
"What? How many people still have something? Ye Xiuwen asked.
One commander and two generals discussed it again, and then said: "Here's the thing, I hope Huaxia can help us complete a task in the end,......."
"I refuse to ,.......," Ye Xiuwen said bluntly.
"Why did you refuse before you heard about the mission?" The general of Sesere, very strange.
"Yes, we don't need it in Huaxia, because our mission has been accomplished. Again, our mission was to evacuate the overseas Chinese, and by the way, we rescued more than 300 people from Western Seles.
I think we've done enough,......." Ye Xiuwen said confidently.
"But there is one more thing, you have not finished it, the yellowcake is not safe yet, so you cannot leave yet,......." the general of Sesere, added.
"Don't you think that this matter is an internal matter of Zeceleth?" Ye Xiuwen asked rhetorically.
"Then in that case, how about asking Huaxia to help us in Xiserel in line with the principle of good neighborliness and friendship?" Commander Siselre, said helplessly.
He had been completely defeated by the young man in front of him, and he spoke softly.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but we in Huaxia and Selie have not reached an agreement on military assistance.
Moreover, our two countries are not even strategic partners.
You should go to your allies,......." Ye Xiuwen signaled.
"Our allies, three Tomahawk cruise missiles have already been fired at the plant, but they were all shot down."
"What? Tomahawk cruise missiles, all shot down? ”
Before the commander of Sesselel finished speaking, Li Changhai was surprised.
Ye Xiuwen shook his head, feeling that it was over.
Sure enough, the commander of Seselie seized the opportunity and said, "Yes! Our THAAD missile defense system has fallen into the hands of terrorists,......."
"When did this happen?" Ye Xiuwen frowned slightly, feeling that the situation was getting more and more serious.
THAAD is the missile defense system with the longest development history in North America, and it is also one of the two defense systems mastered by the North American Army.
THAAD, whose full name is the Theater High Altitude Area Defense System (THAAD), is a land-based high-altitude long-range anti-missile system that intercepts at an altitude of 150 kilometers beyond the atmosphere.
The entire system consists of interceptor missiles, vehicle-mounted launchers, ground-based radars, and combat management and command, control, communications, and intelligence systems (BM/C31).
Its interceptor missile is 6.17 meters long, the maximum diameter is 0.37 meters, the take-off weight is 900 kg, the maximum speed can reach 2500 m / s, the target is destroyed by direct impact, and the main interception range is 3500 km ballistic missiles, the maximum interception height and interception distance are 150 km and 300 km respectively, and the defense radius is about 200 km.
The anti-missile range of the "Patriot" 2 is only 15 kilometers, and the "Patriot" 3 is only 30 kilometers.
Therefore, the "Patriot" is called a point defense system, and the "THAAD" is a surface defense system.
It is mainly used to protect large strategically important areas and targets, and is used to protect North America, allied forces, population centers and key facilities from medium and short-range ballistic missile strikes.
In order to achieve high-altitude interception, US scientific researchers have made a unique design for the THAAD interceptor missile.
The solid rocket propulsion system used consists of a single-stage solid booster rocket, a thrust vectoring control system, and a deployable aerodynamic flap mechanism. The booster rocket uses a high-energy terminal hydroxyl polybutadiene (HTPB) propellant, and the housing is made of advanced lightweight composite materials. The new horn flap structure adopted at the rear end of the booster rocket is placed straight before launch, and after launch, it can be expanded outward into a horn shape according to the instructions of the computer on the bomb, so as to increase the stability of the interceptor missile flying in the atmosphere.
The interception altitude of THAAD reaches 40~150 km, that is, the upper layer of the atmosphere and the lower layer of the outer atmosphere, and this altitude range is actually the middle stage of the flight of the ballistic missile with a range of less than 3,500 km, and the final stage of the flight of the ICBM of more than 3,500 km.
Therefore, it can cooperate with the "ground-based mid-course interception" (GBI) system to intercept the terminal stage of ICBMs to form a double-layer interception, and it can also cooperate with the "terminal interception system" in low-level defense such as the "Patriot" to intercept the mid-flight section of medium- and short-range missiles to form a double-layer interception, which has played a role in connecting the North American missile defense system.
Moreover, this missile also uses kinetic killing technology, which is extremely destructive.
"Kinetic kill technology", which is a new type of technology developed since the "Star Wars" program, its destruction mechanism is "collision-kill".
This method seems simple, but it puts forward high requirements for the vector technology of terminal guidance and space maneuvering, and the difficulty is no less than "bullet to bullet".
In the past, air defense and anti-missile missiles generally used high-energy explosives to kill by fragmentation, relying on thousands of fragments to destroy the target missile or warhead, often only to achieve the so-called "mission destruction" rather than "missile destruction", generally not completely destroying the warhead, but only to deviate from the original trajectory, and the explosives or biological and chemical warfare agents in the warhead will still be scattered to the ground.
The "collision-kill kill" can hit the target warhead at high speed, thereby detonating the warhead or use the high heat of the high-speed impact to disable the biological and chemical warfare agent.
Another advantage of the "kinetic kill technology" is that its warhead is very small, and it can even have no special killing parts, and the effect of "collision and kill" can be achieved only by relying on the quality of the guidance or terminal maneuvering parts, which greatly reduces the mass of the warhead.
For example, in the early program of the THAAD system, the E21, the mass of its kinetic kill vehicle (KKV) was reduced from 200 kg to 40 kg in HEDI, and the mass of the interceptor of the THAAD system including the protective cover was only 40~60 kg, and it made it possible for the missile to increase the interception altitude.
The THAAD interceptor warhead is mainly composed of a medium-wave infrared seeker for capturing and tracking targets, electronic equipment for guidance (including an electronic computer and an inertial measurement device using a laser gyroscope), and an orbit control and attitude control propulsion system for maneuvering flight. The entire interceptor (including the protective cover) is 2325 mm long, has a bottom diameter of 370 mm, has no special anti-personnel parts, and the design difficulty of installing so many and complex parts in a warhead of only 60 kg is not difficult to imagine, which is one of the reasons why THAAD has been slow to appear.
It has the ability to intercept multiple times and has a high probability of destructionWhen the early warning satellite or other space-based probes issue an early warning of the launch of the enemy's missile, the ground-based radar will first search for the target, and once the target is captured, it will be tracked, and the tracking data will be transmitted to the BM/C3I system.
The BM/C3I system loads the target data onto the interceptor missile ready for launch and issues the launch command. After the interceptor missile is launched, it first flies according to inertial guidance, and then the BM/C3I system sends target correction data to the interceptor missile through the radar to carry out mid-flight guidance for the interceptor missile.
In the process of flying to the target, the interceptor missile can receive several target correction data. When the interceptor missile flies to the interception position, the kinetic energy kill interceptor separates from the booster rocket, carries out an autonomous homing flight, and finally destroys the target by direct collision. During the entire interception process, the radar needs to make continuous observations and provide the observation data to the BM/C3I system for the evaluation of the damage effect.
Since THAAD can be intercepted at a large altitude, this provides the system with sufficient reaction time and operational space to carry out multiple interceptions. Therefore, the THAAD system has designed a "shoot-assess-re-fire" combat mode in the program, which has the capability of secondary interception and secondary damage assessment.
Moreover, the THAAD system, which is extremely survivable, also has high mobility.
Not only can it be quickly transported to the required theater of operations, but it can also change positions through road maneuvering, evade air strikes, and improve the survivability of the system.
The "THAAD" interceptor missile launcher is a self-propelled mobile launch platform designed on the basis of the North American Army's pallet loading system and M1075 trucks, each launcher can carry 10 "THAAD" interceptor missiles, with a total weight (including interceptor missiles) of 40 tons, a vehicle height of 3.25 meters, a length of 12 meters, and can be airlifted by C-141, which is convenient for rapid deployment around the world and has high strategic mobility.
Before launch, the THAAD interceptor missile is sealed in a shipping box made of graphite epoxy material, which is fixed to a pallet and also functions as a launch canister. The time from loading to completing the preparation for launching the vehicle is no more than 30 minutes, and the interceptor missile on standby can be launched within a few seconds after receiving the launch order.
Therefore, it is precisely because of this that it is easier to intercept the Tomahawk cruise missiles launched by North America itself.
But at this time, what Ye Xiuwen was worried about was not these, but if the enemy found the Jiaolong, would he use the THAAD system to carry out an air attack on the Jiaolong! ......
