Dominate South Asia

When the warhead was in the middle stage of flight, after a change of trajectory, the scheduled splashdown area of ​​the warhead was only a dozen kilometers away from the target ship. Now, when the warhead re-entered the atmosphere and passed through the black barrier, it had reached the final stage of flight.

At an altitude of 25 kilometers, the wings on the warhead began to move, pulling the entire warhead up to level flight, then turning into a dive, and began to rotate, scanning and analyzing the ground scene in a spiral ballistic manner with a maximum radius of 200 meters. The warhead's radar was scanning rapidly, and within a few seconds, it completed the terminal guidance area identification function and accurately found the fishing boat converted into an aircraft carrier.

The warhead fell from the sky, flying towards the fishing boat at a speed of Mach 10. Because of the friction with the air, the surface of the warhead seemed to be on fire, just like a meteor, but this meteor could kill people.

The control helicopter in the distance, as well as the observation aircraft from the United States, all witnessed this spectacular scene. The fast warhead, with its powerful energy, could knock down the "aircraft carrier" even if it was not charged with explosives and was just a solid projectile.

And now, the warhead dived down from the sky at an angle of almost 90 degrees and hit the deck of the "aircraft carrier". The armor welded with thick steel plates became like paper paste at this time, and a large hole was easily torn open. The warhead continued to fall down and an explosion occurred inside.

"Boom!" In the explosion, the entire "aircraft carrier" was instantly blown into two sections, and the sea water rushed in. In just a few seconds, the "aircraft carrier" spun and entered the sea water, leaving only a vortex on the surface of the sea water.

When the image was transmitted back to the United States, the American experts were instantly stunned.

Even the Soviet SS--N-19 missile did not have such great power! The lethality of ballistic missiles is so crazy! Although the armor of the aircraft carrier is specially made, and its strength is far stronger than the steel plate armor welded on the surface of the fishing boat. However, it can definitely not withstand such a blow!

In fact, as long as you do some calculations, you will know how terrifying the kinetic energy of the opponent's warhead is.

So, how high is the interception efficiency of the Aegis system against this kind of ballistic missile?

For backward ballistic missiles that do not change their trajectory mid-course, the Standard 2 missile can have a hit rate of more than 50%. However, for missiles like the current ones that can change their trajectory mid-course and can follow the target like ordinary JDMA after changing their trajectory, the hit rate will drop to less than 10%, which is still a conservative estimate.

In other words, if the Chinese Second Artillery really attacks its own aircraft carrier formation, it only needs to use 20 to 30 ballistic missiles. It can sink its own aircraft carrier!

The aircraft carrier formation relies on the defense circle provided by carrier-based aircraft. After the US Navy retired the F-14 fighter. In fact, the long-range defense capability has been greatly reduced. Without the combination of Phoenix and Tomcat, the US Navy has lost its long-range defense capability 500 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier formation. Relying on the Super Hornet to carry AIM-120 missiles cannot guarantee the long-range defense of the fleet. Moreover, this missile cannot intercept the Mach 10 ballistic missiles that fell from the sky.

Damn it. It was those guys in Congress who forced the US Navy to retire the Tomcat fighter!

It’s useless to say anything now. After observing that China conducted live-fire shooting of ballistic missiles against aircraft carriers, the Americans decided to change their aircraft carrier route.

No longer cross the middle line of Taiwan! Go to the east of Taiwan Island!

Although this is also within the range of the mainland’s ballistic missiles, it is an attitude issue for both sides, or a face issue. China took out this big killer. That’s because the US Navy wants to cross the middle line of Taiwan, which is a slap in the face of China. Now that it doesn’t slap in the face, China should also stop while they are ahead, if they still make trouble. The United States has more tricks, such as imposing high tariffs on Chinese products exported to the United States. It is enough to make a large number of Chinese private enterprises go bankrupt.

"Those idiots in the Pentagon!" Captain Michael of the Kitty Hawk said: "China's ballistic missile test against the aircraft carrier is definitely a coincidence! Just like our standard missile test of intercepting ballistic missiles, it is a pre-planned precision collision!"

This is not obvious, it is obviously cheating. Colonel Michael absolutely does not believe that China's technology is so advanced that even the United States has not overcome the technical difficulties of the terminal guidance of ballistic missile warheads. The heat barrier brought by the speed of Mach 10 will make the electronic circuits inside unable to work normally. This is just like the US Star Wars plan, just a scam!

"Even if it is just a coincidence, if the number of Chinese launches is large enough, it will still pose a threat to us. We all know that standard missiles cannot intercept warheads that can change their trajectory." Kate said.

Even if it was a coincidence, China also demonstrated the ability of their ballistic missile warheads to change their trajectory at the terminal stage. If their own systems could not intercept them, they would still face risks.

As for the army, how much has been lost in the ballistic missile attack? As a symbol of the United States' maritime hegemony, even if only one aircraft carrier is lost, it is definitely not something that the Americans can afford! Therefore, in this case, the United States had to be cautious and chose to let the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier formation change direction.

"Order, turn east 15 degrees, take the eastern route of the strait." Michael said that he had to obey the order sent by the Pentagon. He originally wanted to take the middle line of the strait again, but now he had to take a detour. This was embarrassing for the US Navy!

With the ballistic missile, the killer weapon to hit the aircraft carrier, China finally raised its head and was proud. Countless domestic newspapers, magazines, and news broadcast this news at the first time, publicizing a great victory of their own side.

This victory was indeed hard-won. In the later generations, in the 1996 Taiwan Strait crisis, China faced the arrogant US aircraft carrier formation and had no effective way to deal with it. Although it flattered itself, saying that the nuclear submarines in Huludao disappeared and the American aircraft carriers retreated 100 nautical miles, but in front of the powerful US naval force, those nuclear submarines could not break through the anti-submarine circle of the US aircraft carriers.

It was also from that time that China began to study how to attack aircraft carriers and began to develop anti-ship ballistic missiles. Now, with the proposal of President Muhammad, this technology has been established in the late 1980s. With the cooperation of technicians from both countries, it has finally been put into practical use in 1994.

The Americans thought that they changed the route and the matter was over. They did not expect that the leaders of China were really determined to completely disrupt the US deployment in East Asia.

Facing the situation in Taiwan, China held a military exercise code-named Red Flag-94 on the coast of Fujian. This was a joint landing exercise operation of the three services of the navy, army and air force. The purpose of the operation was quite clear, that is, Taiwan across the strait!

Taiwan was like facing a great enemy and was highly nervous. However, the US aircraft carrier formation would arrive soon! Taiwan had the United States as its backer, so it did not have too many worries.

In this way, in December of 1994, the year was about to pass. At the end of this year, December 16th was destined to be a day that would go down in history.

In the north of Taiwan, the suburbs of Taipei.

A large trailer is humming. At this time, the carriage behind the trailer is occupied by a phased array antenna array. This array surface is at an angle to the vertical direction, and the direction of this antenna is the west.

Before the United States sold the Pave Paws radar to Taiwan, this "Changbai" radar on the semi-trailer trailer was already the vanguard of Taiwan's air defense against the west.

This "Changbai" radar searches 120° in azimuth, with a maximum detection range of 450 kilometers and an effective detection range of 300 kilometers. It can monitor 100 air targets at the same time. The technological advancement is so advanced that even Russia's S-300 radar, which is eager to export and earn foreign exchange, is ashamed of itself.

The main array of this antenna is rectangular, 4.5 meters long and 3.0 meters wide. In fact, it is a SPY-1 phased array antenna of Aegis! At the same time, there is a friend-or-foe identification antenna with a size of 2.8×0.8 square meters located on the left front of the trailer.

In this era, the Aegis system of the United States has just been developed, and Taiwan has already equipped the land-based modification of the Aegis system. It can be seen that the United States attaches great importance to Taiwan. This entire system is almost all transplanted from the Aegis system.

In the car box behind the antenna array is the radar equipment such as the transmitter/receiver, and the two ends of the car are the command and control center and signal processing equipment. The control center consists of computers, communication equipment and displays. This system is mainly used as the command and control center for the Sky Bow system developed by Taiwan itself. Through phased array radar, illumination radar, etc., the operator can complete threat judgment, interception calculation, launcher selection and combat result evaluation here.

This system, Taiwan brazenly said that it was developed by itself. In fact, all the components were imported from the United States and were assembled in Taiwan. This system of Taiwan is enough to monitor the fighter planes over China in the north. After all, the width of the northern part of Taiwan is only more than 200 kilometers.

Moreover, this system has been incorporated into Taiwan's C3I system, and can be connected to Taiwan's E-2T early warning aircraft through data links, making it easier to monitor the Chinese exercise in the north.

Through the early warning aircraft in the air, plus the long-range phased array radar on the ground, it is enough to maintain a sufficient source of intelligence. Once China has any illegal actions, Taiwan can also make arrangements calmly.

The radar car rumbled, and the radar operator nervously watched the bright spots above. Once the Chinese fighter planes flew over the median line of the strait, they would guide the fighter planes to drive them away. (To be continued ~^~)
