I built an armada.

Chapter 351: The -ton destroyer is the dream ship
Even the THAAD or Standard 3 developed by the Eagle Tribe later would not work.

"The first test of the Haihongqi 901B air defense missile has officially begun."

"The initial firing altitude is set at 20 kilometers."

At first, Su Dingping didn't want to raise the bar too high. He wanted to test the flight stability of the missile to see if it could soar vertically upwards.

In extreme cases, the missile would surely soar upwards to attack its target like launching a carrier rocket.

As he pressed the ignition button, the missile ejected directly from the vertical launch pit.

Like the Eagle Strike series of anti-ship missiles, it adopts a cold launch mode to minimize negative impact on warships.

Of course, the vertical launch system of a 10,000-ton destroyer can be launched from both cold and hot platforms.

In other words, it can be cold-launched or the missile can be ignited and launched directly in the crater.

The two launch methods each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Anyway, the pit of a 10,000-ton destroyer is large enough, so using the two together will not have any impact.

As the missile flew faster and faster, it eventually disappeared from sight and could only be observed through relevant optical instruments.

Su Dingping walked to the computer screen, stared at the changes in data, and soon saw from the relevant instruments that its speed had soared to Mach 6.

"boom!"

It quickly flew to an altitude of 20KM and smashed the drone into pieces.

"Not bad, we reached a high level on the first test."

"But this is not enough. We are still 7 kilometers away from the goal. Let's try again."

Su Dingping waved his hand, and another drone appeared, this time hovering at an altitude of 22 kilometers, still using the vertical burst mode.

His idea was simple: hit the fixed target first, and then hit the moving target after testing its stability.

Moving targets can also be divided into subsonic and supersonic speeds. For example, a fighter jet in afterburner mode often has a flight speed exceeding Mach 2.2, but of course the fastest will not exceed Mach 3.

After all, fighter jets are piloted by people, and once the speed reaches a certain level, it will have irreversible negative effects on the human body.

Pilots are also human beings. No matter how good their physical fitness is, they are still human beings.

When it comes to the development of drones, there is naturally no need to consider the issue of speed, but the current problem is still to intercept manned fighter jets.

In addition to dealing with fighter jets, it is also necessary to attack high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft and early warning aircraft.

The highest manned reconnaissance aircraft currently flying on the blue planet can fly to an altitude of 30KM and was created by the SR-71 "Blackbird" of the Eagle Tribe.

But there is also a big problem: the cost-effectiveness is too high and it is not worth reusing it multiple times.

On the contrary, the Eagle Tribe's most frequently deployed missile is the Black Widow U2, which has a maximum ceiling of 27KM, directly exceeding the height of many active air defense missiles.

So much so that it can fly recklessly in the airspace of various countries without worrying about being shot down.

Su Dingping remembered very clearly that this reconnaissance aircraft had been to the Longxia tribe for reconnaissance many times. Therefore, when designing the air defense missile, its maximum combat altitude must reach at least 30KM.

In other words, even if the Eagle Tribe sent the SR-71 "Blackbird", they would still be able to shoot it down. It's that simple.

Not everyone can enter Longxia's airspace. Even the Eagle Tribe is not allowed to enter without permission!
This is an iron rule!

"boom!"

Watching the second anti-aircraft missile shoot down the unmanned target aircraft at an altitude of 22KM, Su Dingping finally couldn't suppress his inner ecstasy.

"Hahaha, finally a breakthrough."

"It's really not easy to go from Haihongqi 901A to the current 901B."

"The road to improvement is not always smooth and easy."

At this height, it is enough to sweep away most of the high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft on the blue planet, but for this air defense missile it is just a milestone and definitely not the end.

Even so, Su Dingping felt it was pretty good.

Unlike the test of the Eagle Strike 108A anti-ship missile, the successful start did not make him very unhappy.

Two consecutive successes prove that the technical route is correct. We just need to persist and we will definitely be able to achieve good results.

"Keep going."

Su Dingping's confidence increased greatly, so he decided to start a big one.

This time, he fired two anti-aircraft missiles at once.

There are two unmanned target drones in the sky, one at 24KM and the other at 26KM, still hovering as targets.

It seemed that the good luck stopped here, and both shots failed.

One shot reached 23 kilometers, and the other shot was only 22.5 kilometers.

"It seems that I am too impatient."

"We need to proceed step by step."

Su Dingping sighed softly. He could still accept such a result.

Next, he started the busy improvement work. Every technical detail was solved in the holographic interactive projection, from the missile's fuel filling, to the laser-controlled gyroscope inside, the navigation system, and the radar system on the top, all of which were tested.

Test the relevant data item by item, and immediately replace other materials if they fail.

What's more, it is super intelligent, at least three levels higher than Jarvis in the Iron Man movie, and the work it can do is beyond the reach of Jarvis.

It is precisely because of the help of super intelligence that Su Dingping saved a lot of time.

Once the design is ready, it can be directly delivered to the forging factory for production. It is a completely seamless process, and the process is quite smooth.

This air defense missile uses inertial guidance/mid-course command correction + active radar homing guidance on the terminal missile, and the radar directly uses a phased array.

For the military industry illustrations, these are already cheap and there is no need to consider the production cost at all.

Anyway, the value of anti-aircraft missiles shooting down incoming targets is immeasurable.

After it was done, Su Dingping directly instructed the workshop to produce ten for testing.

"The 108th test has officially begun."

Sitting in front of the radar screen in the main control room, Su Dingping pressed the launch button again.

This time, the test was carried out by firing three missiles at once.

It is not only to test the salvo-firing capability of a 10,000-ton destroyer, but also to test the performance of air defense missiles.

The advantage of the vertical launch device is that it can engage the enemy in 360 degrees without blind spots. No matter which direction the enemy comes from, it can attack without adjusting the ship's course and angle.

The ship is fully computer-controlled and has a high degree of automation. It can respond to incoming targets in 0.01 seconds, far exceeding manual operation.

Future naval battles will be of high intensity and severity, and will progress very quickly.

Perhaps the entire process from the beginning to the end of a naval battle only takes half an hour to decide the outcome, and this also requires taking into account the time when the enemy ships cannot counterattack.

Because of this, the warship must react extremely quickly, otherwise a slight delay will result in the destruction of the ship and the death of people!

These three missiles are really awesome.

Not only did it hit the target, the shrapnel also flew to an altitude of 30KM, and according to the observed data, it was also lethal.

"Can we run 30KM?" Suddenly a bold idea appeared in Su Dingping's mind.

Do it as soon as you think of it. Anyway, we have anti-aircraft missiles.

Just test it.

Four missiles were fired in succession, three of which were used to track different targets, and the fourth one went directly to 4KM.

"I'm 28 now, 29 now, keep working hard."

"You can do it. You can do it."

Looking at the flight altitude displayed on the radar, Su Dingping's heart was in his throat for a moment.

He needs to design this missile with enough capacity so that the sailors can have enough confidence when they go out to fight in the future.

Can we shoot down the enemy's reconnaissance plane at an altitude of 30,000 meters?

can!
My confidence increased immediately, and the next step was to just get started.

As a person who has participated in actual combat, Su Dingping is very clear about the sailors' thoughts. After all, no one wants the warship he is driving to have poor performance and can only watch enemy planes flying overhead.

"32 km, good job."

"Fuck, this is breaking the limit, it's awesome."

"Hahaha, we can finally deliver a satisfactory answer to the Navy."

"An anti-aircraft missile like this is the standard configuration for a 10,000-ton destroyer!"

Seeing that the final data displayed was fixed at 32, Su Dingping could no longer suppress his inner excitement and almost jumped up with excitement.

Being able to hit that high proves that this missile is capable of intercepting targets at an altitude of 30,000 meters.

In other words, the improved version of the Haihongqi 901B can sweep away all high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft on the blue planet, which is cause for celebration!

Doesn’t the Eagle Tribe like to provoke the Longxia Tribe all the time?
Either they send warships or they send high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft. Isn't this just bullying the Longxia Navy for not having suitable air defense weapons?
This time, when they came, they took their lives directly!

Now the airspace of the Longxia tribe is relatively safe, and there are sufficient security measures.

"The missile has been finalized and can be put into production."

"According to this progress, it won't take long before we can get it to the missile production base of the integrated military factory for production."

"Before the 052-ton destroyer comes out, let's give it to the later batches of D."

While muttering to himself, Su Dingping had already decided what to do next.

First, all the tests and technologies must be fixed in the virtual space of the military industry atlas. As long as there are no errors, they can be taken to the integrated military factory for manufacturing.

This has always been the practice in order to save time and cost.

In order to improve efficiency, given the current situation of sufficient military spending, Su Dingping chose to conquer as many core technologies as possible and put them into production as soon as possible.

After production at an integrated military factory, it can be finally tested and finalized in reality and then delivered to the navy for use.

This is the process. If you have money, you can test two more. The cost of trial and error is still bearable.

Now the basic framework of the 10,000-ton drive has been formed, and many core equipment has been successfully installed. The only thing left is the final debugging stage.

"Let's get the two missiles produced first and start mass production."

"All subsequent 052Ds will be put into use, which will further enhance the combat capability of these ships."

"Before the 052-ton destroyer enters the slipway, the D can still take up the main responsibility."

Su Dingping has full confidence in the 052D. The vertical launch system installed in the middle of this shield ship is not much different from that of a -ton destroyer.

As for the active phased array radar which cannot detect such a long distance, the space-based satellite navigation system can be used for relay guidance.

Anyway, the 052D's phased array radar is enough to capture targets at an altitude of 3 meters.

Before, it was visible, but not able to be shot down.

Now, once the improved version of the Haihongqi 901B air defense missile is installed, it will be able to both see and hit.

Three days later, the complete version of the 10,000-ton destroyer was finally completed and launched.

"The 10,000-ton destroyer is really unique. Its huge size alone is incomparable to that of ordinary warships."

"Although its displacement is only 052 to tons more than the tons of the D, less than double, it is a new generation warship."

"Nima, it's so majestic and domineering."

Su Dingping's eyes lit up as he watched, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

After it is built, it will naturally be tested like the previous 052C and 052D.

As for what kind of ship to choose to fight against, he fell into deep thought. Logically, he should use the Burke 2, but the overall configuration of this ship was too rubbish. It was good to use it as a target ship, but it was not suitable for testing the limit strength of a -ton destroyer.

After much deliberation, Su Dingping finally decided to use 052D.

One or two ships will definitely not work, so let's choose four 052Ds, which will add up to an astonishing 256 fire channels. How many does a 112-ton destroyer have? Only .

Even so, Su Dingping is still confident that he can win!

The active phased array radar installed on the 500-ton destroyer has a detection range of more than 1000 kilometers. Relying on its dual-band capability, it has the ability to track, detect and lock targets within kilometers.

Moreover, it has dual-band detection capability, which the 052D does not have, so its versatility is also unmatched by the 052D.

In this way, it has more powerful electronic warfare capabilities. Even if four 052Ds are on board together, it does not have the corresponding capabilities.

The passive detection range of 052D is up to 500 kilometers, and the active detection range is less than 420 kilometers.

The four 052D ships set out from the port and headed for the ocean together. The vast ocean was calm and peaceful, which was very suitable for extreme testing of the ships.

After these ships set off, they deployed in four directions according to the pre-planned combat plan, just sandwiching the 10,000-ton destroyer in the middle.

“It’s a bit interesting.”

Looking at the four 052D ships that had already entered their positions, Su Dingping showed a satisfied smile on his face.

They were all 499 kilometers away from the -ton destroyer.

"Let the test begin."

Su Dingping directly pressed the anti-ship missile launch button.

The anti-ship missiles on the four 052D ships were quickly ejected from the vertical launch system at a very fast speed.

It only takes one second from radar lock to firing.

Then dozens of anti-ship missiles were fired at the 2-ton destroyer at 3 to 9 times the speed of sound. If not intercepted, it would take less than minutes to destroy the -ton destroyer.

The four ships launched a total of more than 120 anti-ship missiles!

If you look down from the air, you will definitely see anti-ship missiles coming from all four directions, with 30 missiles in one direction, which is a super-saturated attack state.

This means that the 052D needs to install half of its 64 vertical launchers with anti-ship missiles.

Even in modern naval battles, so many weapons would not be carried at one time.
