Chapter 221: Fight Big with Small

The battleship on the renderings is naturally such a product made by Wang Ye with reference to the design concept of the 022 missile boat in the later generations.

However, it is a big cut worse than the original 022 for two reasons.

From the internal point of view, the official installation of the genuine 022 missile boat is already after the new century, and the domestic technology and production capacity at that time are higher than now, not to mention that electronic technology has developed in that era, and radar is by no means comparable now, so even if Wang Ye wants to copy the original 022, it is impossible, and the technology does not allow it.

And in terms of external factors, the opponents of today are also different from the opponents of 20 years from now.

Although Wang Ye's fundamental purpose is to make this kind of missile boat an "aircraft carrier killer", even the Nimitz aircraft carrier of the United States is different from the Nimitz aircraft carrier of the United States twenty years later, after all, the old American aircraft carrier will go back every few years to "overhaul and upgrade", and all kinds of defense technologies are constantly iterating, simply put, the current level of warships is relatively large compared with 20 years later, there is no need to completely imitate the 022 missile boat 20 years later, after all, as long as it conforms to the characteristics of the times, it is a good weapon!

"Missile boats? Giant ship killer? ”

After hearing Wang Ye say this, Sattler subconsciously repeated, and then adjusted his sitting posture, it could be seen from his expression that he was interested at that moment, but he calmed down in the next second.

Seeing this scene, Wang Ye couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart.

Today's Saudi Arabia has only more than 30,000 navy members, and nearly 10,000 people exist in the form of marines, so the overall scale of their navy is not large, and there are only about a dozen warships.

The Saudis have money, but why not engage in the navy? In fact, there is only one reason, that is, it is equivalent to "naval outsourcing", as for who is the contract? Of course it's Lao Mei!

After all, Saudi Arabia is the Persian Gulf to the east and the Red Sea to the right, and these sea areas are important places for oil transportation, and the United States has warships wandering in these places all year round, so Saudi Arabia basically does not have to worry about problems at sea, which is different from the land, theoretically the fleet of the United States is the Saudi Navy, as long as you pay for it.

It is precisely because of this that Sartler's expression looks a little strange.

On the one hand, he is a young Zhuang faction in Saudi Arabia, and he knows very well that the "giant ship" Wang Ye said refers to aircraft carriers, so this kind of missile boat is actually an "aircraft carrier killer", for this title, Sattler likes it very much, after all, Saudi Arabia also has a heart that wants to be the overlord of the desert, but the ability is insufficient!

So for Sattler, he hopes that one day in the future, Saudi Arabia can truly rise and become an influential regional power in the world, which can get rid of the "interference" from the United States and have an independent and self-reliant navy.

But the reality of the situation, give him a stick and let him stop dreaming!

For today's Saudi Arabia, the United States is still the most important security guarantee, an irreplaceable important ally, and an irreplaceable bondage, so this kind of weapon is meaningless for Saudi Arabia today, and even to a certain extent, having this kind of weapon is not a good thing, it will only make the United States suspicious and wary, and the gains outweigh the losses!

At that moment, to be honest, Sattaler was envious!

After all, for Wang Ye and this country, although their navy is also not strong enough, their waists are straight, they can throw their heads and spill their blood for the blue sea, they can go out to fight, and for today's Saudi Arabia, they don't even dare to resist a little.

"Okay, let me start with a little bit about our missile boat."

In the slightly complicated eyes of everyone, Wang Ye knocked on the blackboard, and then said with a smile:

"Today, the global maritime situation is becoming more and more complex."

"At the same time, more and more countries have realized the importance of maritime rights and interests, especially those small and medium-sized countries in the third world along the coast, but because of their small size, small economic aggregate, small navy, few combatants, and unable to support large surface ships, they are very much in need of a small and medium-sized surface ship."

"However, their own industrial capacity is weak, there is no shipbuilding capacity at all, and there are no countries and related shipyards in the world that specialize in the production of small multi-purpose warships, so in this case, our Red Star Shipyard must assume such a global responsibility and provide us friends from third world countries with good quality and low price warships!"

"And so, this missile boat was born."

In the face of Wang Ye's explanation, a stunned look appeared on the faces of everyone present, and then Wang Ye patted the blank paper and said:

"So this missile boat is based on a multi-purpose hull."

"With a total length of more than 40 meters, a width of 12 meters, and a displacement of about 220 tons, its first main weapon is a multi-barreled high-speed cannon located on the bow deck.

The main weapon in Wang Ye's mouth is actually an improved version of the 630 main gun on the 022 missile boat, the reason why this gun is called "630" is because it belongs to the "Turning Tube Cannon", that is, the Gatling gun, which has six tubes, each with a caliber of 30 mm.

And the prototype of this weapon, in fact, is still from the big brother Soviet Union, codenamed AK-630, the installation time is 70 years, the first official contact with this weapon in China, in fact, from the purchase of modern class warships, and the time is already the end of the 90s.

After thorough digestion and absorption, the 730, 1130, 2030 and other multi-barreled artillery systems with more and more fierce scales have gradually developed, and the naming rules are still the same, the front number represents the number of tubes, and the back number represents the caliber, and the more tubes, the more firepower, and the larger the volume.

And what can be compared with 630 is the old American phalanx system, their artillery is 620, and it is also six tubes, but the caliber is smaller, 20 mm.

The difference between these two calibers does not mean whether they are advanced or not, but is mainly caused by the difference in operational purposes.

Therefore, they do not pursue large calibers, but more pursue the flight speed, ammunition reserve, and firing speed of artillery shells, in order to weave the densest barrage in the shortest possible time, and then shoot down the incoming anti-ship missiles.

The 630's missions are more diverse, such as air defense, such as ship attacks, etc., so it needs to have a larger caliber, which will sacrifice some other performance, such as the speed of the shell, etc.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Ye gave the missile boat and finally determined the 630 weapon.

After all, this kind of missile boat, in the future is to be sold on a large scale, if it is sold to those small and medium-sized countries, then naturally the more uses, the better, the 20 mm caliber is too small, the function is too single, as for the anti-missile, in fact, the missile boat does not need this function at all, if the customer's enemies are using expensive anti-ship missiles to attack, that is really to look up to the customer, damn it! Stop struggling, give up!

"Of course, in the future, it can also be replaced with small-caliber artillery."

"Or a large-caliber low-pressure gun, firing all kinds of artillery missiles and the like, of course, this is a later story, for the time being, there is only one weapon such as the 630 artillery."

In the end, Wang Ye smiled and said, then he took a step back, patted the back of the missile boat and said:

"The gun mentioned earlier is not the point, the focus is on the back."

"See? The whole rear of the missile boat, this boxy box carried on it, is the point! Because this is also the fundamental reason why this kind of warship is called a missile boat, and this is a missile! ”

In normal history, the 022 missile boat is equipped with eight YJ-83 anti-ship missiles, this missile project was established ten years later, that is, in 93 years, six years later, the prototype was manufactured, and the test began, the length of the bomb is about 6.8 meters, the diameter is about 360 mm, the tail is about 1.2 meters, and the range has reached nearly 290 kilometers.

The power source of the bomb is a turbojet engine and a number of solid engines, its cruising speed is less than Mach, and the terminal speed is slightly more than Mach.

"Of course."

"At present, we have limited technology, and we cannot produce such a powerful missile."

In the slightly shocked expressions of everyone, Wang Ye finally said this, and a faint laughter sounded at the scene, and at the same time, Wang Ye knocked on the blackboard and said:

"But it doesn't matter, because the principle of our current weapon research and development is 'big is good, more is strong'!"

"Since quality is not good, then we will find a way through quantity!"

"So the first phase of this missile boat is not an anti-ship missile, but an anti-ship rocket, that is, an extended-range version of the kind of rocket we are currently producing."

"It is longer in length, and we hope that its theoretical range can reach about one hundred and twenty kilometers."

"And the number of reloads can reach an astonishing eighty rounds!"

Wang Ye's voice echoed in the conference room, in fact, this can be seen from the renderings, the size of the launch box carried behind the current missile boat is at least one-third longer than the previous 022 missile boat, and the width has also increased slightly, plus the Eagle Strike-83 Although the diameter is 360 mm, the tail is larger, even if it is folded, it will not be too small, resulting in 022 can only be loaded with eight rounds, and the rocket is a round bomb body, relatively small in size, and can be loaded more.

"And this extended-range rocket will use the mode of a two-stage solid rocket engine."

"In the final penetration stage, you can get a good acceleration to get a better penetration effect, and although it is a rocket, we will also add some more practical and cheap guidance methods to it, such as infrared guidance, such as radar guidance, etc., through hybrid guidance, to obtain greater accuracy."

Compared to the flight mode of the rocket, the missile is actually much more complicated, just like the YJ-83 anti-ship missile, after it is launched, the first booster will accelerate it to about Mach 0.8, and then the thruster will separate, the turbojet engine will start to work to continuously provide thrust, enter the cruise phase, and when it comes to the end of the raid, the solid engine will start to work, increase the speed to about Mach 1.2, and begin to carry out the final penetration.

All in all, the missile body will become smaller and smaller in flight, and in the end only the warhead and the last solid engine remain, the small size and thrust are large, and the fastest acceleration and the highest penetration speed are obtained.

"Of course, even with these measures, it's still a bit 'low-end'."

"In the face of the air defense of the modern fleet, the success rate may not be high, but it doesn't matter, I have always liked to win by quantity, and on the basis of eighty rockets, we are also particular about the combination of warheads."

"Except for some armor-piercing warheads, most of the rest will use submunitions, air-burst bombs, cluster bombs and other warheads, which will automatically explode in a directional manner when they are attacked by air defense or at a certain altitude, throwing a large number of steel balls, shrapnel, and small bombs at the target ship."

"Even those small bombs can be triggered in a variety of ways."

"Now those anti-infantry routines, I think they can be done, unless the enemy doesn't explode!"

Hearing this, everyone present has begun to be dumbfounded, after all, it is conceivable that if the speed of this kind of rocket can finally penetrate the defense can reach Mach 1, and then release shrapnel in a directional explosion, then the speed of these shrapnel will be very amazing, and it is not an exaggeration to say "metal storm".

It is true that battleships are all steel and are not afraid of these small fragments, but war is always people-oriented, and is there not a single person on the deck of a battleship? Good! Destroyer cruisers can do this, what about aircraft carriers? Could it be that there is not a single person on the deck of the aircraft carrier? Even if there is no one, is there no plane? Don't have a support car either? Besides, radars and antennas are not sturdy things!

Even if you don't have any of these, the planes are all released, your deck is always there, if the submunitions fall, is it possible to blow up some potholes on the deck?

Of course, the deck is made of special steel, which may not be effective, but in the face of these shrapnel, if you want to carry out fighter take-off and landing operations in the future, you have to clean up and detonate, right? In this way, don't people come out again? And also delay the efficiency and time of the take-off and landing of fighters! Coupled with the "anti-infantry" methods that Wang Ye said, they are actually quite "shameful", focusing on harvesting lives!

"I guess you can't all intercept these little things, right?"

"Combined with the wolf pack tactics, I think that our small missile boat still has the ability to fight big with a small one."

"For example, 20 cooperation, 30 cooperation, and even 50 cooperation."

"Quantitative change must cause qualitative change!"

In the end, Wang Ye's voice echoed in the conference room, and the scene was silent, while Wang Ye, who was standing in front, couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Weapons and equipment may be limited by technology, but tactical ideas are common in any era, and the 36 strategies can still play a very important role in the modern battlefield, just like Wang Ye's missile boat, the core is essentially "saturation strike", and this set is the key tactics in China for the next 30 years!

In a lethal way, launching a suicidal attack, as long as there are enough missile boats, and then shoot more rockets, then it is a big problem for the fleet.

After all, unlike anti-ship missiles, which want to kill with one hit, the vast majority of this kind of rockets are purely disgusting, with the goal of killing living forces, and they are not afraid of your counter-attack at all, and they may even explode on their own as soon as your anti-missile at the end of the day begins to work, and it begins to throw submunitions.

And in such chaos, in the face of such a saturation strike, as long as one rocket with an armor-piercing warhead hits the deck, then it is a wave of blood!

Of course.

The more critical point is the manufacturing cost, which is completely different from the 022 of later generations.

In the normal history, the 022 missile boat project was established in 94, and it was successfully developed and equipped in 04, at that time, the domestic technology was still climbing, so the engine or something was imported from Germany, resulting in the overall production cost is not low, and now Wang Ye has sacrificed part of the performance, everything is localized, and the price is actually very cheap.

In addition, today's global naval level, even the fleet of the United States, which is the global leader, has just come out of the naval warfare mode of World War II, and has gradually begun to transform to modern science and technology, and this transformation is operational thinking on the one hand, and combat technology on the other.

In general, the detection range, combat radius, and defense level of the current fleet are simply incomparable with those of a few decades later.

After all, the United States does not have too much military satellite assistance, such as the navigation system, which is quite half-baked, and it is not easy to use from time to time, so it has to spend a lot of effort and money to upgrade it to the GPS system of later generations.

And, from an export point of view.

There are mainly three big customers for missile boats in the future, one is Pakistan, they need to face India's blockade from the sea, which is inevitable, many anti-ship measures carried out by Wang Ye are actually aimed at this aspect, anyway, what is the level of the Indian navy, Wang Ye knows in his heart, as long as Pakistan is not too stupid, it is absolutely fun to use this kind of missile boat to attack India's fleet.

The other two are Iraq and Iran, and soon these two frontal battlefields will not be able to fight, and they will start to bomb each other's ships, anyway, they are bombing merchant ships, there is no air defense problem, as long as they are cheap and easy to use, it is obvious that missile boats meet their standards and requirements, isn't it just a guerrilla war at sea?

And this is also the reason why Wang Ye initially said that Sattler would definitely be interested.

After all, Saudi Arabia is the owner of the money!

Whether it is Iraq or Pakistan, Saudi Arabia is the last to pay for it, so it is very necessary for Sattler to understand the situation first and lay an important foundation for the order.

Moreover, after Iraq and Iran blow up the red eye, Saudi oil tankers will also go to the sky, and then their economic winter will really come, and since ancient times, offense is the best defense, if you want your oil tanker not to be attacked, then the best way is that you have a stronger means of attack than the enemy.

Anyway, Saudi Arabia has money, so if it can't buy a hundred, it will blow up the Iranian oil tanker when it sees it, and the world will soon be peaceful.

"Demons! Butcher! ”

"But I like it! Hahaha! ”

In the end, Sattaler sighed with emotion.
