Chapter 2571: Yorktown

Facing the saturation attack of anti-ship missiles, this is the bounden duty of the Aegis system! The Yorktown on the side of the formation immediately activated the highest level of alarm. The double-arm launchers on the bow and stern of the ship, the standard air defense missiles with flames, dragging white smoke, had already flown into the sky, and two launched After that, the launcher will return to its original position. Then, the automatic loading system will hang up the two missiles, launch the second time, and start again!
At this time, the thick smoke from the first two launches had not completely dissipated, and the second launch began. The entire warship was covered by the thick smoke from the missile launch within a few seconds.
The target above the bridge irradiated the radar, and it also began to aim at the first target, providing target irradiation. The first two missiles that were launched to the formation of the dense, leeching-like anti-ship missiles launched the first. Second attack!
What about the one launched later?
Since the number of target irradiation radars is only eight and cannot be used at the same time, only the four irradiation radars on the side of the ship can irradiate four targets. The remaining missiles are launched first, and they fly according to instructions. Wait until the first is completed. After one irradiation, transfer to the next one and guide the next wave of missile attacks. This is the operational principle of the Aegis system.
Because their radar is a passive phased array, it is impossible to directly focus certain beams to illuminate the target. In the Aegis system of Han, this defect has been overcome. The radar of Han is an active phased array and does not require targets. Irradiation, as long as a small piece of radar beam is gathered together, the target can be irradiated. Only this system has the real ability to resist saturation attacks.
At this time, the missile formation is close to a distance of 30 kilometers. Because it is flying at an ultra-low altitude, the Aegis system can capture them at this distance, which is not easy.
"Destroy the target!" the radar officer shouted loudly. The first target intercepted by the two missiles had disappeared from the radar screen, and they successfully intercepted the first missile.
Then there is the second and third.
The first group of missiles have been successfully intercepted, and then the second group! The target irradiation radar quickly irradiated the second group of targets. At this time, the second group of targets had approached a distance of 20 kilometers!
The second group was also successfully intercepted!
The third group!
At this time, on the Yorktown, there was no time to cheer for the successful interception. They knew that only a small part of it was intercepted, and a large number of missiles were flying towards them.
not good!
In the third group of interception, one missile actually made a serpentine turn, and a serpentine maneuver came at a distance of two meters above the sea. Then, the two standard missiles that were responsible for the interception unexpectedly fell into the air.
"One slips through the net, quickly, assign it to the sea sparrow!"
This missile has passed through the firepower network of the standard missile, and it is no longer possible to use the standard missile to intercept it. The nearby destroyers equipped with the Sea Sparrow missile can only use the Sea Sparrow missile to replace it.
The Aegis system has advanced performance. It can not only use its own missiles to intercept targets, but also allocate targets to nearby warships for unified and coordinated interception, avoiding repeated interceptions and causing omissions.
The destroyer on the side also began to flash fire, and the Sea Sparrow missile rushed towards the target. After ten seconds, the target finally disappeared on the radar screen.
However, the radar officer did not breathe a sigh of relief. There were still many targets, and their systems had already begun to overload.
That's right, it's overloaded, and the target irradiation radar continues to irradiate the target, but many targets will fly over before the irradiation is allocated.
Continue to be assigned to other warships!
When assigning targets, the Aegis’ response will become slower, and there will be situations that cannot be taken care of. Now, after intercepting nearly 20 anti-ship missiles, the number of intercepted by Yorktown is increasing. , The nearby warships are already too busy.
"Quick, Phalanx!" After losing more than 20 missiles, finally, the first anti-ship missile rushed through the interceptions and rushed to the front of the Yorktown, the Aegis system on the Yorktown. It's no longer valid, and can only rely on the last life-saving means, the Phalanx system!
When the Phalanx system is activated, it will emit a whistle stimulated by the hydraulic motor that makes the roots of the teeth soft. With the whistle, the MK149MOD2 depleted uranium dehulling armor-piercing projectile roars from the six-tube rotating M61 muzzle When flying out, each shell weighs about 100 grams and has a muzzle velocity of about 1113 meters per second. These shells fly out at high speed, forming a terrible barrage, with a maximum rate of fire of 6,000 rounds per minute!
The cannonballs roared past, forming a dense firepower net in the sky. As long as they enter it, they will be destroyed. This is also the last means of life-saving on the Eagle State Navy's warships.
When the anti-aircraft missile interception does not work, when the opponent's missile has already flown to the front, what interception is used? Naval gun? Even small-caliber naval guns do not have enough fire speed. A large number of barrage must be created in a short time, so that the missile can be hit while rushing into the barrage, so that it can destroy the target.
Under this kind of thinking, the near defense system appeared, the Eagle State made the Phalanx, and the Xiong State made the 730 guns, both of which used multi-barrel rapid-fire guns.
Now, the barrage roared and flew over, surrounding the C802 missile. The depleted uranium armor-piercing projectile hit the projectile. The next one, the projectile exploded, and a shiny explosive fireball appeared on the sea.
Successful interception!
However, the Phalanx has not yet relaxed, and the second penetration missile is here again!
Although the Aegis system allocated the target, the Phalanx system was unable to find the target for a long time. The operator shouted loudly from inside, "No, this missile is coming vertically!"
The Phalanx system is also defective, especially for warships like theirs. The earliest first-generation Phalanx system used is not easy to maintain, easy to be corroded by sea water, and slow reloading operations. They can tolerate these defects, but Another flaw is fatal: the reflective radar antenna is difficult to track and detect an incoming target at a close to vertical angle!
Now, another C802 missile flew over. This missile was flying in an S-shaped maneuver on the sea. After completing two turns, it collided vertically towards their warship. This vertical angle attack is Aegis. The system could not find it.
In this kind of high-speed attack, human response is not enough. It is necessary to use radar to accurately capture the target, and then use the computer to calculate the trajectory, and launch the projectile at the most appropriate advance to intercept the target. But now, these requirements have not been met. They can't intercept the target!
The C802 missile came towards the cruiser Yorktown, and then, with the momentum of thunder, plunged into the stomach of Yorktown.
"boom!"
