Chapter 911: Observing the Ship Five

Three huge warships appeared behind the Orca-class 10,000-ton stealth drive, the main warships of the mercenary regiment, Admiral Ushakov, Admiral Lazaev and Admiral Nasimov, which are the Kirov-class nuclear-powered missile cruisers of the former Soviet Union to deter the West, also known as battle cruisers or arsenal ships, with a displacement of more than 26,000 tons, comparable to light aircraft carriers.

After the modification of the mercenary regiment naval technical department, many of the original missile launchers were dismantled, and the missile launch bay at the bow of the ship uses the American MK-41 missile vertical launch system, which can launch American Standard-2 anti-aircraft missiles, Tomahawk cruise missiles, Harpoon anti-ship missiles, and Hyram missiles.

The missile launch bay at the back, using the vertical launch system of the former Soviet Union, is capable of launching the powerful P-1000 Volcanic Rock anti-ship missile, Granite anti-ship missile, Garnet cruise missile, and Hunting Bow 2 anti-aircraft missile, etc., and can launch a total of 436 missiles of various types.

Wu Chen had a preference for these three battle cruisers, and installed a high-value Sea Spirit combat system, because this is a nuclear-powered missile cruiser, so the four antennas of the phased array radar can be turned on 24 hours a day, not affected by electricity, and there is no dead angle monitoring in 360 degrees.

In order to provide close combat support firepower, it is equipped with twin 203 mm 55 times caliber naval guns, with a firing range of 51 kilometers, using ordinary high-explosive shells and composite guided artillery shells, with a rate of fire of 12 rounds per minute, which is the most advanced naval gun in the world today.

In terms of close defense, due to the removal of many launchers on the deck, eight Kashtan artillery integrated short-range defense systems were installed, and there were six triple torpedo launch systems on both sides, which truly became the aircraft carrier killer feared by all countries, and a warship could destroy a fleet, and it was an aircraft carrier battle group.

"Four hundred and thirty-six missiles of various types, the Kilo-class nuclear-powered missile cruiser, is simply another kind of arsenal ship, no matter which country's navy encounters such an adversary, it is also a near-hopeless existence, including the US Navy." This was stated by the Minister of Defense of France.

"Russia is currently a Peter the Great battle cruiser to support the façade, but the powerful attack power makes countries change color, the future European defense army navy, need more destroyers against this kind of battle cruiser, especially the development of interception systems for supersonic missiles, it is an urgent matter." This was stated by the Minister of Defense of Germany.

The Glory, the Ukraine and the Marshal Ustinov, these three conventionally powered missile cruisers belonging to the Glory-class with a full load displacement of 11,000 tons, are the few remaining cruisers in the world, modified by mercenaries, and are also equipped with sea elf combat systems.

Naval experts have replaced the original main eight-seat twin-mounted Basalt anti-ship missiles with P-1000 Volcanic Rock anti-ship missiles, which are top secrets of the mercenary navy and the Russian navy, and the West has not received specific information so far.

This anti-ship missile uses titanium alloy materials, has a range of up to 1,000 kilometers, reaches five times the speed of sound, and has a warhead of 500 kilograms of armor-piercing high explosives, which can also be replaced with a nuclear warhead of 3.5 million tons, which can kill an aircraft carrier with a single shot.

The Glorious-class conventionally powered missile cruiser is also equipped with eight SA-N-6 Thunder ship-to-air missile systems, a total of sixty-four anti-aircraft missiles with a range of 150 kilometers, which is a vertical launch system, and it is rotating, like a revolver.

On both sides, there are four Kashtan artillery integrated short-range defense systems, four triple torpedo launch systems, and the rest of the missiles have all been dismantled and replaced with four Hiram ship-to-air missile launch systems. The main task of the Glorious-class, in addition to anti-ship, is to provide air defense support to the fleet.

Steadfast, Inspiring, Storm, Guide, Excellence, Meticulous, Intrepid and Invincible, these eight belong to the modern class missile destroyers, with a full load displacement of about 8,000 tons, and their main purpose is anti-ship, equipped with two groups of quadruple Japanese supersonic anti-ship missiles, with a range of about 200 kilometers, and Huaxia has also purchased four.

Originally, the destroyers of this class were also to be equipped with the Sea Elf combat system, but due to the emergence of the 10,000-ton stealth drive of the Orca class, it was finally decided to exist as an auxiliary warship, and the assessment of naval experts was that it did not have the value of upgrading and refitting.

"In the hands of the mercenary corps, these decommissioned and mothballed former Soviet warships have been completely rejuvenated, and I can't tell you how it feels to be happy or sad about it." said the commander of the Russian Navy.

"These veterans survived, it is a happy thing, staying in the Russian Navy, we can only watch the veterans slowly wither, this is the saddest, rest assured, with the slow improvement of the Russian economy, there will be more modern warships in service, we will definitely regain the strength of the former Soviet Navy." President Park Kim said.

To say that I don't feel sad in my heart is pure nonsense, this is all the rich legacy left to Russia by the former Soviet Union, and it is the main battleship, but Russia can't afford to raise it, so it was all sold to mercenaries, and it was especially the price of cabbage.

However, the Russian top brass must admit that the current situation may be the best outcome, if these warships had remained in the Russian Navy, I am afraid that they would have been rusted a long time ago, and the navy is one of the most expensive arms, and they cannot afford to renovate it alone, to this extent, each warship will cost at least more than a billion dollars.

"Fortunately, thanks to the collapse of the former Soviet Union, these warships fell into the hands of mercenaries, otherwise for the US Navy and the navies of NATO countries, these six cruisers would be a nightmarish existence, and we would not sleep peacefully." This was stated by the US Deputy Secretary of the Navy.

"It should be said that falling into the hands of mercenaries has become more terrifying, Russia does not have so much money to modernize these warships, and it does not have advanced technology such as the Sea Elf combat system, the mercenary corps is different, their cutting-edge technology can maximize the combat effectiveness of these cruisers."

"Although we still don't know the specific data, we all know that the former Soviet Union is a generation more advanced than the United States in terms of anti-ship missiles, especially in hypersonic technology, and it is still unknown whether the Aegis combat system can resist these supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles." Minister Donald said with a frown.

The dialogue between the two is really not that the US military has a humble heart, they have never only boasted but not modest, and they don't know how to write these two words, and the superpower has always had its own domineering and confidence. However, in terms of anti-ship cruise missiles, the US Navy is too far behind the former Soviet Navy, and it is a kind of whaling fork anti-ship missile, and it is especially subsonic, which is not a high-grade contest at all.

Look at the former Soviet Union, it is called a wide variety, and a mountain is higher than a mountain, such as Ruby anti-ship missiles, Basalt anti-ship missiles, Granite anti-ship missiles, Japanese supersonic anti-ship missiles, etc., which are all big names in anti-ship missiles, and if you are not convinced, you can't do it.
