Chapter 271: Passing Shoulders
Ordinary anti-ship missiles are all subsonic, such as the common American Harpoon series, the French Exocet series, and the domestic C801 series, which are all subsonic.
Subsonic missiles are mainly simple to control and mature in technology, but the Soviets have always liked high speeds, and many of the missiles made by the Soviets are supersonic.
A supersonic missile, such as flying at a speed of Mach 3, requires the reaction time of its control system, which is three times faster than that of a subsonic missile, which puts forward higher requirements for its control, so it is technically very difficult, and at the same time, the engine adapted to the supersonic missile is also very special, it needs to use a ramjet engine.
In addition, if the supersonic missile is at the end of the stage and has to perform a serpentine maneuver, it needs to have a higher control ability.
Generally speaking, when the missile flies to the end, in the face of the opponent's interception, it is also the most severe, all kinds of small-caliber rapid-fire guns, all kinds of short-range missiles, will carry out interception one after another, even if it is the sailor on the ship, I am afraid that they will take out automatic rifles to shoot, after all, this is already the last interception, once it fails, it will definitely be killed.
Therefore, at the end, the missile will carry out a complex curve flight, that is, a serpentine maneuver, and such an action requires the response of the guidance system.
Although the supersonic missile has so many technical difficulties, the Soviets still like this kind of missile, because the faster the speed, the more difficult it is to intercept!
Why is the MiG-25 so difficult to intercept? It is because it is fast, and if the anti-ship missile wants not to be intercepted, it also needs to be fast!
At that time, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the original union republics were in a difficult situation, so the United States had the opportunity to import several Sunburn missiles for testing, and the results of the tests were embarrassing to them, and the US Navy in the nineties could not effectively intercept such missiles.
Of course, the range of the Sunburn missile is very close, and before it could fire, it was sunk by the American aircraft carrier group, and the warship carrying it would not be possible to rush to a distance of 100 kilometers in the time of war, and the Americans' defensive circle was at least 300 nautical miles.
And now, the KH-22 missile, with a lavender tail flame dragging a ramjet engine in its tail, is dashing past the Tatar interception, and it is rushing towards the Chicago, violently pounced!
At this time, even if you use radar, even with the naked eye, you can catch this flying missile!
The huge body of the projectile, the flames burning in the tail, and the smoke dragged behind it, it is simply a killer who specializes in hunting warships!
At this time, it is still continuing to accelerate, the ramjet engine is constantly blowing in air, and the air at high speed is directly compressed, entering the combustion chamber, in the combustion chamber, the fuel is injected in, generating thrust, pushing the missile, flying quickly towards this side, and the speed has sprinted to the most terrible Mach 6!
"Left full rudder!" At this moment, the captain only had time to give this last order.
The last way to dodge enemy missiles is to change their course.
If it is a fighter plane in the sky, because of its high maneuverability, it can be avoided by flying head-on first, and then suddenly maneuvering with a large overload, but a 10,000-ton warship has quite a large inertia and poor maneuverability.
Can it be avoided?
Nobody knows.
The sailors on duty, after hearing the captain's order, immediately killed the steering wheel in front of him, and the rudder surface action of the tail pushed the sea water to the left, and the sea water was pushed to the left, giving the stern a force to the right, and the stern to the right, the bow of the ship naturally turned to the left.
The Chicago, which was racing at 32 knots, began to turn.
If you ride a bicycle or a motorcycle, you know that when you steer, you have to lean inward, otherwise you will be thrown out, and on a warship, the steering at high speed will also generate centrifugal force.
And the warship will not automatically tilt to the inside, in this case, the hull of the warship will be tilted to the outside.
The hull of the ship slapped against the sea, the waves were surging, the hull was turning rapidly, drawing a beautiful arc on the sea surface, and at the same time, the huge hull was tilted to the outside because of the centrifugal force, because this turn was too fierce, so the inclination of the hull was also quite terrifying, and it actually reached thirty degrees!
This is a test that the warship must do before leaving the factory, full rudder at full speed, if the ship capsizes, the ship is unqualified, and now, the warship is turning frantically, although the tilt of the hull is extremely frightening, but it will not automatically turn over.
At the same time, when the hull is tilted, the entire height of the hull begins to decrease.
It is common sense that if you are vertically high, the slope will be lower.
That huge missile, just as the Chicago was full of rudders, had already hit it fiercely!
When the missile flies, it is ultra-low-altitude, and after approaching the target, it will climb up, and when it finds the target, a dive attack is the best choice.
The KH-22 missile was swooped down from the air, and the position it aimed at was the waterline of the Chicago.
Now, when the Chicago suddenly full rudder, it is also rapidly adjusting, the control circuit in the missile body is rapidly adjusting, the electromechanical commander is changing the rudder surface of the missile, and the missile adjusts its direction and continues to pounce fiercely.
In everyone's eyes, that missile is getting bigger and bigger.
At the bow of the ship, a sailor clung to the railing, keeping his balance in the midst of the massive steering overload, his retina full of the terrible missile.
Then, his head shrank. Then I smelled a scorching smell, and in my ears, there was a buzzing and non-stop chirping.
That huge missile actually flew over his head!
The missile drilled along the bridge and the space of the launch stand in front of it, and the huge wings, without the slightest touch of the device, flew over the sailor's head.
At the speed of Mach 6, the air around the missile was compressed during the flight, and it was possible that the eardrums of the people in its vicinity were crushed due to the sudden pressure on their ears, and the flames in the tail actually scorched the hair on the sailor's head.
It's rubbing shoulders with the Chicago!
This feeling of escaping death is so exciting, the captain feels his back soaked, God forbid!
"Boom!" The moment the missile plunged into the seawater, a violent explosion occurred, and the seawater was lifted more than ten meters high, and shrapnel flew in a scattered manner, spreading in all directions.
