Chapter 538: Launching Granite
"Float to a depth of 20 meters."
At this time, no one would have thought that just three hundred kilometers away from the naval battle, the huge Oscar-class nuclear submarine was already in place.
Inside the submarine, the captain Suslov gave the order.
Float up to 20 meters!
The submarine's elevator began to move, the bow of the ship was raised, and the huge submarine slowly climbed upward.
At the rear of the submarine, two huge propellers are slowly turning, stirring the sea water, indescribably secretive.
"Twenty meters deep, flatten the hull."
Of course, with the development of computer technology and the advancement of automation, some actions can be handed over to machines to operate, but people are also necessary, and they must supervise all this at all times.
"Put a satellite dish and prepare to receive satellite data." Suslov continued.
It was the daily routine of the submarines, and now, despite the proximity to the Falklands, they still ventured up to get accurate information.
It is very difficult for the submarine to detect the outside world, even if it uses the submarine's own sonar system, the search distance is very close, and the sonar on the bow of the boat has a search distance of only tens of kilometers, and if the towed array sonar is used, it will be raised by a grade, that is, hundreds of kilometers.
However, the anti-ship missiles they carry can be easily launched hundreds of kilometers away, and the farther they are launched, the less likely they are to be hit.
For example, if they do not borrow the conditions of the outside world and only use their own capabilities, then they must get close to a distance of 100 kilometers to fight, then, after they have launched the missile, the opponent's carrier-based anti-submarine aircraft has already taken off, even if it is an anti-submarine helicopter, it can quickly catch up, and then punch the master to death.
Just use the oldest deep bomb and throw it down vigorously, they may not be able to retreat with their whole body, and if they are launched from 300 kilometers away, then the safety can be improved by a notch.
This requires the cooperation of the outside world.
If it was the Soviet Navy, then there would have been a cooperation of all kinds of maritime reconnaissance planes, and they could launch missiles from a distance of 500 kilometers and then go leisurely, and the task of missile medium-range guidance would have been handed over to the reconnaissance aircraft.
Or, give it to the missiles themselves.
That's right, missiles are a big formation, and now, they are also planning to use such tactics, what is needed is the position data of the opponent's aircraft carrier formation, and this data needs to be given through satellites.
That's right, the anti-ship operation of submarines is definitely not something that submarines can do alone, and at any time, it belongs to the operation of the entire system.
On the control tower, a satellite antenna buoy was raised and soon floated to the surface of the sea, and then a steady stream of data was transmitted through the satellite.
"The target is 300 kilometers away from us, what a good opportunity, immediately prepare for the launch!"
Suslov got excited, he came early, it was better to come by coincidence!
The data transmitted by the satellite is the latest, the opponent's aircraft carrier formation, in the eastern waters of the Falklands is 300 kilometers away, and they are also 300 kilometers away, and at this time, a large number of Argentine fighters are preparing to attack their fleet, and the fleet has taken off a large number of fighters to meet the enemy, it is a good time to attack!
A godsend!
The warning lights of the attack were constantly flashing throughout the submarine, and at this moment, everyone quickly prepared for launch.
The Oscar-class submarine carries 24 Granite missiles, which are the third generation of anti-ship missiles of the Soviet Union, the latest type, which is completely customized for the US aircraft carriers.
"Launch tube 1 ready."
"Launch tube 2 ready."
One voice after another, the voices kept reporting that the missiles had been solidified, and the preparation before launch was just to bind the data for the missiles, and now, everything was being prepared rapidly, and after ten minutes, it was completely ready.
"Report to Moscow, request an attack." Suslov said.
Along the way, they did not have any contact with Moscow, it was all one-way, they received the news, but they did not report it back, just to conceal it, and now, in the final stage of the attack, they finally have to make a report.
The radio waves flew out of the satellite antenna, flew into the vast space, and three minutes later, finally received the order.
Start attacking!
"Prepare to attack!"
At Suslov's command, one of the operators pressed his fingers to the button.
No one saw that in the seawater, the huge Oscar-class submarine, on both sides of the hull, the lids of the launch canisters one by one, opened under the action of the hydraulic press, and the seawater poured in, and the sound of rushing water was heard in an instant.
Submerged submarine-launched missiles are divided into wet and dry launches. Wet launches are mostly large ballistic missiles, especially Maozi is very good at this technology, first open the hatch, fill the launch compartment with water, and then start in the water to launch the missile.
As for the dry launch, the hatch is also opened, but there is still a layer on the missile barrel, and after the missile is ignited, the sealing layer on it is broken, and the seawater will come in.
The launch of this cruise missile is very similar to that of a ballistic missile.
After the water is injected, it will also balance the weight loss caused by the launch of the missile.
Now, the launch has entered an irreversible process, and once water begins to enter the inside, it is impossible to discharge it, and the missile must be shot out.
"Launch!"
At Suslov's command, the operator pressed his finger to the launch button, and the entire submarine sank downward.
That's right, even an Oscar-class nuclear submarine with a displacement of nearly 20,000 tons will be affected by huge recoil when launching missiles.
The huge granite missile, the tail ignited, and a blazing flame came out, leaving the launch tube, and its flame was also pushing the submarine downward, and when the submarine sank, it stirred countless splashes.
The first missile left the launch tube and drilled upwards out of the water, blazing flames rose and thick smoke covered the entire surface of the sea.
When the first missile leaves the launch tube, the second missile also drills out of the launch tube.
(After checking the information for a long time, I didn't find a specific one, did it pop it out with compressed air and ignite it again when it reached the sea?) Or was it ignited in the launch tube? It is written in terms of ignition in the launch tube. )
The granite missiles left the submarine one by one, and on the sea, columns of smoke soared into the sky, forming a forest of smoke columns. The revenge of the Soviet Navy, again began, twice failed, and this time it will definitely not fail again!
When the missile went out to sea, it was immediately discovered by the E-2 early warning plane, which was originally commanded by hiding behind the fleet, and when the radar officer found an extra bright spot on the screen, he was instantly shocked.
