Chapter 573: Targeting

In the past, missiles were mainly circuits that used electron tubes, in addition to the huge size, the other trouble was that the tubes must be warmed up before they worked, which led to the missiles having to be prepared in advance, and now, with the progress of Pakistan's electronic technology, this kind of air defense missiles that fuse Sea Sparrow, Standard, Patriot missiles and other missile genes have adopted all-solid-state circuits, and many components use integrated circuits, which can almost work when they are energized, but the laser gyroscope on the missile starts and other steps, It still needs to be a few seconds in advance.

Now, two missiles are ready to be launched and intercepted at any time, and at the same time, there are only these two missiles.

This time it came out for a test launch, and when it was on the shore, it was only loaded with these two missiles, and the rest of the silos were empty.

The phased array radar continued to work, and the target, which was 150 kilometers away, was accurately captured by him.

As the distance gets closer, this goal has begun to be circled on the operator's screen as a key target.

As a matter of fact, at this time, the body of the air defense missile was almost copied from the body of the Hongqi-9 developed by Huaxia for many years, weighing 1.3 tons, six and a half meters long, with two solid rocket engines, and the maximum range of the missile reached almost 120 kilometers, and the extended range of later generations even reached 200 kilometers. However, that is only the maximum range, and in actual combat, it will be restricted in many ways, and the range will not exceed 100 kilometers. And now, the preset interception distance is sixty kilometers, and at this distance, in case of an interception failure, there will be a second chance to intercept.

"Ninety kilometers."

"Eighty kilometers, lock on to the target."

"Seventy kilometers, launch missiles!"

The operator's index finger is pressed on the launch button. The manhole cover of the silo had been opened, and the missiles inside, which were originally stored in disposable packaging, were now, with a bang, the high-pressure air pushed the missiles out. The front end of the missile, piercing the box, flew out.

The body of the missile was tilted slightly, and when it flew out of the silo a few meters, the missile had already left the deck of the warship, and then the engine in the tail suddenly ignited.

In a blazing flame, the missile's engine began to ignite. Fly towards the sky.

The target plane, still flying, suddenly made an unexpected maneuver.

The J-6 UAV is equipped with a radar warning machine, and when it is found that it is locked by the opponent's radar, the on-board computer begins to quickly judge and make an independent choice in the preset program. In the end, it was decided to use roll detachment and ultra-low-altitude penetration!

Rudder surface under the wing and rudder surface at the tail section. At the same time, the drone made a large slope roll and turned to the direction perpendicular to the radar beam. If it is a pulse-Doppler radar, this action will cause the opponent's radar to unlock, but now it is a phased array radar, so. This action was still clearly seen by the other party.

After rolling, the drone began to reduce its altitude, and this flight reached a height of almost ten meters above the sea surface.

The waves are two or three meters high, and this height is ten meters. It's almost the height that the most daring pilots dare to fly.

"The target disappears." The radar operator reported the dismal news.

No matter what kind of shipborne radar it is, due to the altitude limit, the detection distance of targets flying at ultra-low altitude is very close, and even the famous American Aegis system is no exception.

That target plane actually flew directly from 1,500 meters in the air to an ultra-low altitude! Was it a malfunction of the target aircraft and crashed during the flight? Now, of course, no one thinks so!

"All beams are concentrated at low altitude, pay attention to the target aircraft!" The captain said.

The target plane disappeared, only temporarily, and the radar could still detect the target plane flying at an ultra-low altitude, but the detection range was closer.

The anti-aircraft missile that had just been launched had no target and turned into an uncontrolled rocket that would explode at a predetermined distance.

"What does the person who operates the target machine eat, how can the target machine get out of control!" This was stated by the Chief of Staff of the Navy, Zahar.

Originally, the target plane flew over, the missile flew up, and accurately shot down the target plane, which completed the task, but the target plane suddenly changed direction and became an ultra-low-altitude flight, which caused more trouble to its own defense, no wonder Zahar was not satisfied.

He knows that ultra-low-altitude penetration is a common means of modern warfare, and the threats to warships are more from anti-ship missiles flying at ultra-low altitudes, but after all, this is only the first target for his own side, so there is no need to be so difficult, right?

But there was a smile on Mhammad's face, this target aircraft is interesting, it is almost the attack steps of a large number of J-6 UAVs to be carried out in the future, not bad, not bad.

If it is really on the battlefield, this tactic may not be effective, because Pakistan also has early warning aircraft, condescending early warning aircraft, which will make the target flying from the sea at ultra-low altitude have nothing to hide, but now, there is only such a warship, and there is no early warning aircraft.

It's all about the ship's phased array radar! At this point, all the beams shifted their phases, scanned towards a low altitude, and finally, twenty kilometers away, captured that faint signal again!

Launch the missile! If this missile misses again, it will be a shame! At this time, even Bai Xue was slightly nervous, and his right hand involuntarily grabbed Mhammad's hand.

Mhammad used his big warm hand to hold Bai Xue's hand, signaling her not to worry, it's not that our army is incompetent, it's that the enemy army is too cunning.

Almost at the same time as the radar found the target, the second missile was already ejected from the silo by high-pressure air.

After flying out, the missile began to ignite, pushing the missile to continue to accelerate upwards until it flew some distance before turning from the air and flying towards the sea.

Shipborne vertical launch, all missiles, have the ability to launch immediately, can shoot a large number of missiles in a short period of time, which is far from being comparable to the double-arm launcher, which has a complex automatic reloading system under the double-arm launcher, and is far from being comparable to the firing speed of the vertical hair. However, the dual-arm launcher also has advantages, that is, the launch arm can rotate and adjust the elevation angle, so that the launched missile directly wants to fly towards the target. It is very efficient to deal with missiles flying at ultra-low altitudes and skimming the sea.

Although the current vertically launched missile, although it is known that the opponent is flying from the sea, it must first be launched vertically into the air, and moreover, it must be ignited and continue to fly upwards until it has sufficient speed and the efficiency of the rudder surface is high enough, and then it can control the missile deflection and turn to the direction of the target.

The missile's engine continued to push the missile to accelerate, and after the first-stage rocket engine ran out of fuel, it began to fall off, and the second-stage rocket engine ignited, pushing the missile to a speed of Mach four.

It only takes more than 20 seconds to deal with a target plane flying 30 kilometers!

"It is expected to shoot down the opponent's target aircraft in twenty seconds." The radar operator reported.

The initial and middle stages of this air defense missile are guided by inertia plus commands, and at the end of the stage, they are guided by an active radar seeker.

The phased array radar accurately guides the missile and flies in the direction of the target.

"It is expected to arrive in five seconds and enter the active guidance stage!"

"Serpentine maneuver!" The radar operator looked at the trajectory on the radar and couldn't help but shout in surprise.

This is not a manned fighter, just a target aircraft! This target machine has actually made such a complicated maneuver now! This is not an advanced target aircraft imported from Europe and the United States, but just an old J-6 modified by our own side!

Due to the absence of the pilot's restrictions, the maneuvering of this target aircraft at this time is very fast, almost reaching an overload of 10G! This puts higher demands on anti-aircraft missiles.

At this time, the anti-aircraft missile has already entered the process of autonomous guidance of the seeker, and the phased array radar in the rear can only monitor.

After Pakistan invested in Sweden and completed the development of an air-to-air missile with active sky flash, Pakistan also obtained these technologies simultaneously, and now, the seeker of this missile has this kind of active sky flash technology, because the diameter of the missile is very large, so the radar diameter of the seeker of this missile is also very large, and it firmly locks on the target aircraft that is maneuvering at high speed, changes direction, and keeps up with its own target.

The trajectory got closer and closer, and everyone was so nervous that they held their breath.

The target continued to lower its altitude, almost five meters above the surface of the sea! Such a low altitude has caused more trouble for your own missiles, and if you can't separate the target from the spray, you will lose the target.

"The target disappears." The radar operator said that the two trajectory lines had coincided, and that both targets had disappeared.

"The air defense test is over, accurately hit the target!" Bai Xue's tense face finally showed a smile, and this test was finally over! In other air defense missile tests, the first shot was definitely a target plane flying in a straight line, and the first time we hit a target, we hit a highly mobile sea-skimming target! Although the first missile missed the target, it was determined by technical reasons and could not be overcome at all, and this second time, it actually shot down the opponent, which means that our own missiles are not only capable of attacking high-altitude targets, but also have a high hit rate against ultra-low-altitude anti-ship missiles!

After Bai Xue finished speaking, she wanted to take the lead in applauding, but then she felt that her hand was no longer known when, and it was held in her hand by Mhammad, and suddenly, her face was hot. (To be continued......)
