The warring nation has once again made a strong statement that a new generation of aircraft carriers will be launched to destroy**, and its great power has made the United States uneasy. The deterrent effect of this Zhenguo Divine Soldier is enough to make the US aircraft carrier battle group fearful, and it is difficult to return to the sky!
So, what is the origin of this mysterious **, which can be known as an aircraft carrier killer? How amazing is it?
The West, especially the United States, which dominates Russia's military technology research and development, has continued to pay close attention. Regarding Russia's ongoing military research and development, there have been claims from the British Intelligence Department that the woolly bear country is actively developing a brand-new anti-ship missile.
Mao Xiong finally could no longer hide the news, and resolutely decided to publicly confirm the existence of the new **, and declared that the ** has entered the final stage, and has the characteristics of potentially becoming the world's most powerful, fastest, and longest-range anti-ship missile.
Obviously, this move was not accidental, but a deliberate demonstration of deterrent power against the West. With the successive defeats on the battlefield, the West has become more resolute.
At present, the woolly bear is in urgent need of a powerful national-level **. This is not only to deter the West, but also to calm the restless people at home. Whether or not this one is nearing completion, the key is to make it clear that it does exist.
After confirming the news, the most concerned is Lao Mei. At present, their Sixth Fleet has been deployed in the military port of Naples, mainly in Europe, especially in Eastern Europe.
As the first echelon of the United States' powerful fleet, the Sixth Fleet has 40 large and small ships, more than 170 warplanes, and a large naval and marine personnel.
In particular, the latest Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier "Bush" belongs to the Sixth Fleet, and after many upgrades, its strength is fully capable of ranking among the top in the world.
Improvements in key areas involve power, ** and detection systems, which make the USS Bush almost unique beyond the Nimitz and Ford classes, and become the most reliable and advanced aircraft carrier in the US military today.
It is worth mentioning that the cost of the "Bush" alone is as high as $6.2 billion, far exceeding that of the previous Nimitz-class nuclear aircraft carrier, which not only makes its top speed more than 30 knots, but also has advanced modern electronic warfare capabilities.
When the conflict between Mao Xiong and Ermao broke out in the early days, the United States quickly dispatched the aircraft carrier "Bush" anchored in Italy to form a huge aircraft carrier battle group and sail to the Black Sea region, but Mao Xiong's Black Sea Fleet was obviously unable to stop this action.
As a fighting people who have always been tough, they certainly cannot tolerate the invasion of the US military. Therefore, they unveiled a new missile in advance, claiming that it was powerful enough to destroy American aircraft carriers, apparently in order to stop its continued expansion in the East.
The main target of this new Woolly Bear missile is large ships, that is, it is an anti-ship missile, initially codenamed "Serpentine", which is a rocky that resembles snakeskin.
According to the naming habits of anti-ship missiles in recent decades, a large part of them are named after rocks, such as basalt, granite, and onyx. Even the design bureaus of submarines and frigates were called "ruby" and "diamond", respectively.
On the one hand, this is because the area is rich in mineral resources, and on the other hand, the hairy bear is also named this way to show its power, so the name serpentine is highly likely.
The fighting nation named the new missile Serpentine precisely because it is a hypersonic anti-ship ballistic missile, and its flight trajectory is like that of a python crawling rapidly, which is difficult to guard.
According to British speculation, the Serpentine may be equipped with a winged gliding warhead at the front end, and the maximum rate of fire is definitely more than 5 times the speed of sound, and it is a hypersonic missile with a range of 4,000 kilometers.
About its birth, there are rumors about the connection with the USSR.
Since the beginning of the Cold War in the 50s of the last century, the Soviet Union has been working on the development of new anti-ship missiles, and in the 70s successfully developed advanced basalt and granite supersonic missiles.
However, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, Hairy Bear, which inherited most of its legacy, was unable to launch a new round of anti-ship missile research and development, and could only continue to use relatively outdated basalt and granite.
Therefore, after the announcement of the new missile, many Western countries speculated that the missile may be inherited from the Soviet Union's shelved project, coupled with the woolly bear's own hypersonic technology, the serpentine was born.
Whether it is inheriting the legacy of the Soviet Union or independently researching and developing the woolly bear, all countries seem to have acquiesced to the fact that the Serpentine is indeed a hypersonic anti-ship missile, because the hairy bear has enough confidence.
In terms of supersonic research and development, China, the United States and Russia have always been at the forefront of the world, among which the research and development progress of China and Russia is even faster than that of the United States.
The term hypersonic, as the name suggests, is faster than supersound, and is usually internationally defined as 5 times the speed of sound. Due to its high speed and long range, hypersonic ** is almost impossible to intercept.
Prior to the appearance of the Serpentine, the Woolly Bear had publicly released another hypersonic ** belonging to the Rock family - the world's first hypersonic cruise missile "Zircon", which is specifically designed to combat surface targets.
The missile, which can reach a maximum speed of Mach 9, or 9 times the speed of sound, and at the same time has a maximum strike range of more than 1,000 kilometers, and is currently in service with the Hairy Bear Navy.
Although the Zircon is quite advanced, the range of more than 1,000 kilometers is still insufficient, especially in the face of the old US Navy, which has strong firepower and protection performance.
Regardless of whether it can break through the protection of the latest Ford-class nuclear aircraft carrier of the United States, the first thing to face is whether it can reach the attack distance.
At present, the F-35C carrier-based aircraft equipped with the old and US aircraft carriers can have an extreme combat distance of up to 5,000 kilometers, and even if the round-trip distance is calculated, it is 2,500 kilometers, which means that the old and American aircraft carriers can be docked 2,500 kilometers away, making the 1,000 km combat range of the Zircon missile unreachable.
But with the Serpentine missile, the situation has completely changed, and its maximum combat range has reached 4,000 kilometers. If the old US aircraft carrier battle group dares to come, it will definitely come and go without a trace!
From Crimea to the base of the Sixth Fleet of the United States in Naples, Italy, the distance in a straight line is only more than 2,000 kilometers, and almost the entire Mediterranean Sea has become a serpentine strike range.
When Serpentine officially joins the naval equipment, the aircraft carrier activities of the United States in the Mediterranean may come to an end. After all, aircraft carriers can be moved, and nuclear submarines loaded with serpentine can move with them, and even have concealment that aircraft carriers do not have.
According to the general development process of anti-ship missiles, a shipborne version should be launched first, and then other versions such as submarine-launched, shore-based, etc. should be developed. The Serpentine missile is no exception, and military experts speculate that its main application area may be frigates and attack nuclear submarines.
At present, the main frigates in service are the Marshal Gorshkov class, and the main attack submarines are the Ash Tree class, both of which are world-class advanced ships and are equipped with a large number of anti-ship missiles.
Previously, Mao Xiong had successfully conducted test launches of Zircon missiles on these two types of ships, so Mao Xiong had a wealth of experience and technical base in the armament of Serpentine missiles.
After the conflict broke out, the Lao US Sixth Fleet mobilized the USS Bush aircraft carrier battle group into the Black Sea, but due to the existence of Zircon anti-ship missiles, the USS Bush did not take any risky action.
Subsequently, the US Navy conducted regular military exercises in the Mediterranean region, the objectives of which were clearly aimed at implementing strategic deterrence and deterring the enemy from launching a large-scale attack.
However, since Mao Xiong announced that the Serpentine hypersonic anti-ship missile has entered the final stage, this strategic plan of the United States has finally gone bankrupt. The woolly bears have shown through practical actions that they have not only not been defeated, but have also succeeded in developing a new type of national **.
As we all know, the protection capabilities of the old American aircraft carriers have always been relatively low, and their interception systems have become outdated. Although they are working on the development of railguns and lasers, until now, these have not been officially equipped, and the Serpentine anti-ship missiles of the woolly bear have entered the final stage, when the old American aircraft carrier will have no power to fight back.
In addition to the sea-based version, the Hairy Bear's anti-ship system also includes a land-based version, the most famous of which is the "Fortress" shore-based anti-ship system.
The system was successfully developed at the beginning of the XXI century and showed itself well in the Crimean War. The "Fortress" system can launch the "Onyx" supersonic anti-ship missile, which is the main force of Mao Xiong, so that the Ukrainian Navy has nowhere to hide.
As soon as the United States learned of this, it immediately reduced the number of military exercises in the Black Sea region, and only dared to conduct exercises at a relatively long distance, and did not dare to approach the offshore area of the woolly bear.
In fact, Mao Xiong has announced the "Fortress" shore-based anti-ship system, which is capable of penetrating all shipborne defense systems in the world, including the "Aegis" of the United States, making 300 meters offshore a military exclusion zone.
According to the speculation of Western experts, it is likely that the Serpentine anti-ship missile will be launched in a land-based version and integrated into the "Bastion" shore-based anti-ship system. At the same time, with the GLONASS satellite positioning system, the old American aircraft carrier will have nowhere to hide.
At the same time, the development of hypersonic ** in the United States has also suffered a huge setback, and ** could not be successfully launched after ignition. In other words, they can't even get started with their R&D.
It's no wonder that the hairy bear dares to claim that the Serpentine hypersonic anti-ship ballistic missile is an "aircraft carrier killer", because this ** does have this capability.
Once the Serpentine missile is officially put into active service, as long as the old American aircraft carrier dares to break into the Black Sea, it is destined to be gone forever, and there is no second possibility! List of high-quality authors
