――――――

On the sea surface of the Persian Gulf, there are two target planes painted in yellow, one is located in the air of 3,000 meters, and the other is in an ultra-low-altitude sea-skimming attitude.

Two target aircraft, one from east to west and one from west to east, with a multipurpose destroyer in the middle.

The radar system of the war center locked on these two signal sources at the first time, and on the high mast, it was just right to detect ultra-low-altitude targets at a range of 100 kilometers.

The battle alarm was immediately sounded on the multifunctional destroyer, and all personnel immediately entered the combat post.

Cai Ruichen, who was standing in the center of the war situation, had a good look at the combat mode of the Red Police Navy.

Locking, analyzing, and deriving threat data, the whole process was so fast that even before he could find two targets on the radar screen, the radar had already locked on the two targets, and then highlighted them on the projection screen.

Immediately, on the central platform of the combat center, on the multifunctional destroyer, in the vertical launch system located in the bow and stern of the ship, the lids of the two missile launchers instantly opened, revealing a layer of protective film underneath.

This protective film is to protect the missile from drying in the launch canister, and will not affect the normal use of the missile because of the ship's strong wind and waves at sea or under the normal long-term sailing, because of the high humidity and high salt environment.

At the moment when the lids of the two launchers opened, two missiles were ejected under electricity. The warhead of the missile broke through this protective film in an instant, and the missile rushed out of the launch canister when it was about 30 meters away from the warship. Two V-2FK anti-aircraft missiles were fired at the same time.

The two missiles that ignited over the warship also began to adjust the direction of the missile's flight when they had the power of the base.

One to the east, the other to the west, and under the white wake, the two missiles quickly disappeared over the fleet.

Burst up the missile launch, leaving a small fishing boat in the distance. Almost every one of them came to the deck of the fishing boat quickly, and they had no idea what was going on.

But the missiles were actually launched, and they were two at a time.

Obviously, it is the use of cold-launched missiles. It is also the missile with the highest safety factor, and the news was quickly recorded by the people on the small fishing boat.

At present, there are only two ways to launch vertical missile launches in the world, one is to ignite in the launch canister. The missile makes use of its own power system. Leaving the launch canister, this is a thermal launch.

Another is cold launch, which is the first to use other means to eject the missile from the launch canister, and then the missile is ignited.

At present, all Western countries use hot launch, because this kind of launch is more efficient than cold launch, but the danger is relatively high.

After all, ignition is carried out inside the launch canister. In the event of a missile accident, it is very likely that it will affect the missiles in other canisters.

Cold launch is much safer. But the efficiency is a little lower than that of thermal launch, and such a gap is not visible in peacetime, but in a high-intensity war environment, the gap will appear.

Because the current cold launch technology is all about using high-pressure gas to launch missiles out of the launch canister, just like a neat ejection on an aircraft carrier, the steam cannot be controlled by size, and the accumulated steam can only be released once.

Even if there are multiple separate neat storage spaces, successive missile launches involve a process of filling with steam.

Therefore, the efficiency is naturally not as fast as the thermal launch, but in peacetime, it is not necessary for warships to launch a large number of missiles with one face, so it has no effect.

And the multifunctional destroyer that seems to use the cold launch mode is actually not using gas to eject missiles, but using electromagnetic energy.

Under the all-electric propulsion system, all the power of the entire warship can be reasonably distributed, and the power consumed by the catapult missile at the moment of ejection does not need a lot, only need to eject the missile dozens of meters away.

Under the advanced power system of the multi-functional destroyer, the power of the whole ship is completely sufficient, and after the characteristics of cold launch safety, it also has the efficiency of hot launch.

This is the characteristic of the base's vertical missile launch system, and each warship alone has reached the world's leading level with all-electric propulsion as a starting point.

In the US Navy, only Zumwalt, Ford-class, and Littoral Combat ships use all-electric propulsion technology, and Britain's two conventionally powered aircraft carriers of more than 60,000 tons, the Queen Elizabeth and the Prince of Wales, also use all-electric propulsion.

However, the use of all-electric propulsion technology, combined with low-power electromagnetic catapult technology for vertical launch system, the Red Guard Corps is definitely the first original.

In the future, if this technology is exposed, the benefits will naturally be obtained by Future Technology Group again.

However, it is impossible for Cai Ruichen to take the initiative to disclose such military technology to the outside world, which is also an advantage of the Red Alert Navy after all.

Allowing the outside world to speculate can also make the outside world misunderstand some information, and maybe in the future, because of such wrong information, the wrong analysis results will be obtained, and the wrong orders and decisions will be made.

Just like the people on the small fishing boat, the information recorded is the destroyer of the Future Technology Group, and the missile launch method used is the cold launch mode.

Regardless of the outside world, the two missiles that left the warship at this moment flew directly towards the two target planes after maneuvering and changing orbits in the air many times.

The missile was successfully launched, and the target was locked, but up to now, it can only be said that it is average, because only when two target planes are intercepted can it be regarded as a success.

The two missiles did not disappoint, and the two target planes were successfully intercepted very easily when they were still 70 kilometers away from the warship.

Especially for the target aircraft flying at an ultra-low altitude skimming the sea, the simulated flight trajectory is exactly the same as that of an anti-ship missile.

Being able to lock on and intercept such a target aircraft at the first time fully shows that this warship has the ability to efficiently intercept anti-ship missiles.

However, such a capability is not something to be proud of at all, because at present, what really threatens warships are all those supersonic anti-ship missiles that fly over the sea.

Just like those V-2FJ supersonic anti-ship missiles on multifunctional destroyers at this moment, approaching sea targets with an ultra-low-altitude supersonic flight attitude, even if they are developed, it is not very easy to intercept them, and there is a certain probability of failure to intercept, and in actual combat, the success rate of interception may not be higher than 70 percent.

Especially in the face of the attack of multiple supersonic anti-ship missiles, it is difficult to intercept them all, and once one of them is hit, it will be finished even if it is a 10,000-ton drive. Thousands of tons of warships, there is no possibility of even resisting. (To be continued.) )
