A big country of aerospace with black technology.

Chapter 119 The rocket launcher boards the ship!
At this time, the main domestic warship is still the Type 052 destroyer, and there is a big gap between it and the world's advanced warships.

The main equipment is the "Eagle Strike" 8 anti-ship missile. As a light and small subsonic ultra-low altitude sea-skimming flight multi-purpose anti-ship missile, the performance of the "Eagle Strike" 8 is compared with other anti-ship missiles at this time.

For example, the "Harpoon" anti-ship missile equipped by Yingjiang still has a big gap.

However, at this time, the Type 052 destroyer can be used with such weapons, which is considered very good.

At least there are weapons that can cause enough damage to the enemy.

Compared with the artillery on the ship, the "Eagle Strike" 8 anti-ship missile is already a good choice!
"Are you really going to put this thing on a destroyer?"

Zhang Xingyang looked at the middle-aged man who was almost twice his age in front of him in surprise and questioned.

On a military pier by the sea, a few bazooka vehicles painted green with army camouflage were parked very unnaturally.

What Zhang Xingyang pointed at just now was one of the 300mm long-range heavy rocket launchers.

Wanting to install this thing on the 4000-ton warship in front of me feels full of disobedience no matter how you look at it.

In fact, before, the country had loaded rockets on the 053H2 frigate, and it was a five-seat double-group 25-tube 122mm rocket launcher.

It can launch 250 122mm rockets in an instant, creating a sea of ​​flames in an instant during ground support and beach landing!
But the 300nm long-range heavy rocket in front of it is not the same. It is very difficult for it to get on the ship.

The first is its size. As a heavy rocket, its size is basically equivalent to that of the Eagle Strike 8 anti-ship missile.

If such a big guy wants to put it on a warship, if the torpedo tube or the anti-ship missile launcher is not removed, there is basically no place to put it.

Of course, it is also a way to drive the rocket launcher directly onto the helicopter platform behind the destroyer to directly serve as fire support.

Recently, Da Mao used this method on his frigate Vasilibykov. In order to make up for the lack of air defense capabilities of the frigate, he directly drove an Army Doyle air defense missile vehicle to the helicopter on the frigate as a receipt. Supplement for air defense capabilities.

"Yes, we have such a plan." The officer on the opposite side, wearing a spray white navy uniform, responded to Zhang Xingyang's doubts very simply.

"You should be more clear, there is no way to guarantee the accuracy of this thing after it is on the ship, right?"

Zhang Xingyang thought that they should know about this matter, but out of a rigorous attitude, he asked again.

"Yes, we also know that the rocket itself has no accuracy at all. Coupled with the wind and waves at sea and the shaking of the ship itself, after the rocket is on the ship, the error will definitely increase a lot compared to the land-based version."

The naval officer was also very aware of the problem here, but Zhang Xingyang was still moved by his next sentence.

"But, what can we do?!"

"The Navy lacks weapons with sufficient range and power!"

"This is also a last resort!"

Indeed, it is not easy for the navy these years, especially last year when it faced the powerful sea and air superiority of the enemy's Seventh Fleet.

The artillery had to be moved to the deck of the civilian ship and used as a fire support ship.

Zhang Xingyang also really felt the helplessness of the navy at this time.

It's not that they don't know the various problems that the rocket launcher will encounter after boarding the ship.

But the most pressing problem now is that the Navy has no other weapons that can really threaten the enemy.

The total shooting range of Eagle Strike 8 is less than [-] kilometers.

Facing an enemy with strong sea and air advantages, there is no way to carry out a melee attack!

This is also the reason why the Navy has taken a fancy to the ultra-long-range rocket launcher produced by the Second Yuxi Machinery Factory.

Although he has the problem of not being very accurate and unable to maneuver at the end, it is only aimed at him with an ultra-long range of up to 7 kilometers and a superb speed of Mach [-].

It was enough to make this time the poor navy, with red eyes.

"It's not easy for you." Zhang Xingyang sighed and continued:
"However, it's not realistic for the rocket launcher to go directly on the ship. Let's modify it a little bit for you."

"At least the problem of terminal guidance is solved."

"Now it still adopts inertial guidance, which requires you to input a series of parameters before launching, which is still relatively difficult at sea."

"At present, our Beidou has just successfully established a network. Although the accuracy is not very high, if two-way navigation is adopted, the accuracy can reach 20 meters."

"This accuracy should be almost enough for you."

The naval officer frowned, and asked a little worriedly:

"How long will the renovation work take?"

"We don't have much time to wait, we urgently need it to improve our combat effectiveness!"

The navy really can't wait for almost a day. They don't want to live a day when they can't see the enemy and can't fight the enemy like in the past!

"It doesn't take too long, and it can be completed within a month."

This expected time is actually relatively conservative, mainly considering the time required for processing.

In fact, the technical difficulty is not that great. It can be done on the land-based version before, but the main reason for not doing it is because of the cost.

At this time, the Beidou system had just been put into use.

The manufacturing cost of the terminal is still relatively high.

The single-shot cost of the 300mm rocket has already exceeded 150 million. If the Beidou guidance system is added, the cost is likely to be very close to 200 million.

"However, the cost will increase a little. You have to be mentally prepared. The ex-factory price may reach 200 million!"

Zhang Xingyang couldn't help reminding the naval officer.

After all, if the calculation is based on six rounds in one salvo, then each salvo will cost 1000 to two million!

"This problem is not a big one. You don't have to worry. Compared with the Eagle Strike missiles costing more than 500 million each, your rockets can only be regarded as cheap!"

In fact, the naval officer said that the cost is only a trivial matter. The key is that at the same price, the price of almost three rockets can be compared with an Eagle Strike missile.

However, according to the performance of previous experiments in the South China Sea, only four rounds of 300mm long-range rockets can completely destroy a warship of about [-] tons, while it is difficult for Eagle Strike missiles of the same price to do this.

You must know that various weapons and ammunition depots have actually been dismantled on that warship at that time, and there will be no martyrdom!
The lack of martyrdom means that the warship's ability to resist losses has actually increased!

Of course, it is actually a helpless move for the rocket launcher to go on the ship.

However, after the hypersonic wind tunnel planned by Zhang Xingyang and the others is completed, the hypersonic anti-ship missile will really enter the stage of actual measurement.

At that time, it will not be far from the Navy using ultra-long-range hypersonic anti-ship missiles!
