"Ship raids" have once again become a hot topic, and the actual ballistic missile combat successfully carried out by Yemen's Houthi rebels has become the focus of global attention. This incident not only demonstrated the effectiveness of ballistic missile strikes on aircraft carriers,
It has also raised more attention to ballistic missiles. In fact, China, Iran, the United States and other countries are actively developing ballistic missile anti-ship combat capabilities. And this time the "Persian Gulf-2" anti-ship ballistic missile, which was used by the Houthis in Yemen,
This has led to more speculation about its technology** and performance characteristics. The successful "ship raid" by Yemen's Houthis has attracted global attention. Although the attack did not cause substantial damage,
But the incident has sparked a wide discussion about the anti-ship capabilities of ballistic missiles. As an important anti-ship missile, its actual power and reliability have attracted much attention. According to reports,
The Persian Gulf-2 anti-ship ballistic missiles used by Yemen's Houthis are likely to have been imported from Iran. This news has sparked speculation about the technology of the Persian Gulf-2 anti-ship ballistic missile**. There is an opinion that
The Persian Gulf-2 may be an improvement of the Conqueror-110 short-range ballistic missile, which in turn has a certain technological heritage relationship, including China's B610 B611 foreign trade ballistic missile.
The Persian Gulf-2 anti-ship ballistic missile uses an optoelectronic image seeker, which allows the missile to increase the missile's recognition capabilities and strike accuracy at a lower cost. However, the weakness of this guidance technique is also obvious
Especially in the face of medium and large military ships, it is susceptible to various means of interference. It is reported that the Yemeni Houthis used the "Persian Gulf-2" anti-ship ballistic missile to strike a bulk carrier as early as the beginning of this month
But the results were not satisfactory. The problems faced by Iran's anti-ship ballistic missiles are also worthy of attention, with unstable and unreliable strike accuracy. To compensate for the lack of quality, Iran resorted to the tactics of saturation attacks, nevertheless
Its effectiveness is still limited. In addition to China and Iran, the United States and Russia have a number of ballistic missiles that have anti-ship combat capabilities. There are differences in the accuracy of strikes and the range of strikes of ballistic missiles of these countries
But it is undeniable that ballistic missiles play an important role in long-range anti-ship operations at sea. The successful ballistic missile operations carried out by Yemen's Houthis have only demonstrated part of this capability, but not the effectiveness of all ballistic missiles. However, this is enough for the Yemeni Houthis. The small number of missiles they used, although they could not completely cut off the Red Sea route, succeeded in creating panic.
The development of ballistic missile anti-ship combat capabilities will continue to attract much attention, and the technological competition and strategic deployment of various countries in this field will also continue to heat up. With the continuous progress and application of technology, the effectiveness of ballistic missile anti-ship operations will continue to improve, and it will become an important weapon in maritime military operations.
