Chapter 449 Airborne cruiser?

Chen Xin smiled slightly and said: "Whether it is a battleship, an aircraft carrier or an arsenal ship, they all have their own weaknesses that cannot be overcome. Therefore, I have been thinking about whether we can use new concept weapons such as laser cannons and electromagnetic rail guns. How about a new warship that combines the advantages of the above-mentioned warships to challenge the status of aircraft carriers in the world today?"

As soon as Chen Xin finished speaking, there was an uproar in the audience.

Admiral Wu Anguo, the naval commander who had been silent before, couldn't help it anymore, and asked, "Mr. Chen, what do you mean, we should develop a warship similar to the Zumwalt-class guided missile destroyer?"

The Zumwalt-class guided missile destroyer is a new generation of multi-purpose ground strike Aegis ships being built by the US Navy.As the main surface ship of the new generation of the U.S. Navy, this class of warships is all cutting-edge technology that surpasses the contemporary era in terms of hull design, motor power, finger control, network communication, detection and navigation, and weapon systems. The crystallization shows the strong scientific and technological strength of the U.S. Navy and the forward-looking design thinking.

The wave-piercing reverse ship hull used above, MK-57 vertical launch system (hull peripheral vertical launch system PVLS), integrated composite island and aperture (IHDA), infrared model (IR), integrated electric propulsion (IPS ), Dual Band Radar (DBR), Integrated Underwater Warfare System (IUSW), Advanced Naval Gun System (AGS), Shipboard Common Computing Environment (TSCE) Automatic Fire Suppression System (AFSS) and other advanced technologies are difficult for navies of all countries to match of.

Of course.If we only talk about the new generation of phased array radar technology, the Chinese Navy, which has mastered the production technology of GaN T/R components, is confident that it is not weaker than the US dual-band phased array radar. However, in other fields, China and the United States still have great differences. big gap.

Chen Xin shook his head and said: "The Zumwalt class is at best another reduced version of the arsenal ship. The nature of the experiment is quite heavy, otherwise the United States will not stop building after building only three ships. Moreover, within the US military, the most supportive of the arsenal ship After Admiral Burda committed suicide because of the controversy over wearing the V-shaped pendant, the aircraft carrier faction has already taken the absolute advantage. walk out."

Admiral Wu Anguo said: "Mr. Chen, what kind of new warship are you talking about?"

Chen Xin smiled and said: "In fact, this kind of warship is not a new concept weapon, it has appeared on a large scale 30 years ago."

"It appeared 30 years ago?"

Everyone looked at each other for a while, not understanding what kind of warship Chen Xin was talking about.

Chen Xin smiled slightly and said, "This is the Kiev-class aircraft carrier. I prefer to call it an aircraft-carrying cruiser!"

Kiev-class aircraft carrier? !

Everyone in the conference room couldn't help feeling a little dizzy.

The Kiev-class aircraft carrier is a first-class aircraft carrier built by the Soviet Union in the 70s. It is the second-generation aircraft carrier developed by the Soviet Union. The first-class aircraft carrier is equipped with fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft. aircraft carrier.

The Kiev-class aircraft carrier is a recognized failure of the Soviet Navy.The most fundamental reason is that it is equipped with a large number of missiles, such as the long-range heavy anti-ship missile SS-N-12 Sandbox, which has a conventional warhead weighing one ton and can destroy large and medium-sized enemy ships. In terms of air defense, the ship has two There are two different types of anti-aircraft missiles, for medium-altitude (SA-N-3B), and for low-altitude (SA-N-4 Hornet), and for anti-submarines, there is the Quartz anti-submarine missile (SUW-N-1).There are also two rocket depth launchers and torpedo weapons.

Such a tall and complete missile weapon is in sharp contrast to the US aircraft carrier, which is only equipped with short-range air defense missiles.

But this also led to the extremely limited ability of the Kiev-class aircraft carrier to carry aircraft.

We must know that the power of an aircraft carrier mainly comes from its carrier-based aircraft.

The Kiev class carried 12 vertical/short take-off and landing fighters (Yak 38), 12 Ka-25 snail helicopters and two Kamov relay guidance helicopters.

The problem lies in these carrier-based aircraft.

There are two major problems with vertical/short take-off and landing fighter jets, one is short range and cannot fly far, and the other is in the attitude transition stage.Easy to crash.

We can see from the F35B test video that the F35 wastes too much time when changing attitudes during vertical take-off and landing. In actual combat, it not only delays time, but also consumes fuel.

The Yak 38 designed by the former Soviet Union was a fighter jet in the 70s and [-]s. It installed two lift engines in the front of the fuselage (that is, placed two small turbojet vertically). After that, the nozzle of the main engine was divided into two. Rotate, so complete vertical takeoff and landing.When the first two engines were working, a large amount of exhaust gas was ejected onto the deck, reflected back, and then sucked in by the air intake of the main engine, which affected the thrust of the main engine. The control was not good, and it was easy to lose balance.

More importantly, in the 70s and 38s, the Soviet Union's electronic technology was extremely backward. Even the United States could not design a fly-by-wire control system. Therefore, after the Yak [-] was launched on the ship, accidents occurred frequently, and there were very few produced. Almost one-third of the crashes occurred during land training and boarding.

This has caused the Kiev-class aircraft carrier to almost become an anti-submarine aircraft carrier that can only carry helicopters.

Look at the heavy missiles on the Kiev-class aircraft carrier. The large ships of the Soviet Navy are equipped with heavy missiles. This is a good explanation. The Soviet Navy took the US Navy as its imaginary enemy. The first task was to destroy the US aircraft carrier battle group and deal with the aircraft carrier. You can't do it without a heavy hammer.

However, the range of the sandbox missile has greatly exceeded the detection range of the Kiev radar. Therefore, in order to play the role of the missile, it is necessary to have a forward platform to obtain target information. What is this forward platform?

Kamov relay guided helicopter?Too slow and has limited performance.

Other shore-based aircraft?So what happens when Kiev is far away from the mainland?

Satellites in space are the best platform, but the orbit of this platform is relatively fixed, and the detection time is very short, so it cannot accurately track moving targets such as enemy aircraft carrier battle groups.

So the sandbox missile is like a heavy fist, but it doesn't know where to hit it.

Later, the aircraft carrier Ulyanovsk designed by the Soviet Union revised the previous design ideas. It adopted nuclear power, a small ship island, and a large hangar design, and was prepared to install ejection devices and early warning aircraft.

If the ship is completed, it will be an aircraft carrier with actual combat effectiveness. Unfortunately, the ship was born at the wrong time, caught up with the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and no one allocated funds. In the end, the construction had to be terminated, and it was cut into scrap iron on the berth .

This is the general impression most people have of the Kiev-class aircraft carrier. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, several Kiev-class aircraft carriers became orphans that were left unattended.

Two of them were sold to China, and after being transformed, they were used as theme parks, and they ended well. There was also the "Admiral Gorshkov", which was destroyed by Lao Maozi after the missiles on it were dismantled. It was sold to Ah San in a flick, and became the new generation aircraft carrier "Vikramaditya" of the Indian Navy.

From this, it can be seen how unpopular the Kiev-class aircraft carrier is. The participants in this meeting are all naval professionals who are familiar with this period of history. They never thought that the new warship Chen Xin mentioned would actually be It is an aircraft carrier cruiser similar to the Kiev class.

Chen Xin also seemed to see the disappointment in everyone's eyes. He laughed and said, "Okay, having said so much, let's let everyone see this new warship."

As he spoke, Chen Xin took out a holographic projector from his briefcase and placed it in the center of the conference table, then lit it up. Soon, a 3D holographic projection of a huge warship appeared in the sky above the conference room.

There was a "wow", and there was a burst of noise in the conference room.

Although the attendees have long heard of the miraculous technology of the Zhanhu Bureau, and some people have seen the magic of 3D holographic projections on the Varyag aircraft carrier before, but this time goodbye, they are still shocked by this exquisite projection. I can't speak.

But soon, their attention was attracted by the details of the battleship. (to be continued~^~)
