I built an armada

In addition to data link communication between the three armies and joint fleet command capabilities, this system also adds additional interfaces.

This interface is naturally prepared for access to aircraft carriers, advanced electronic warfare aircraft, and even unmanned combat aircraft and unmanned combat ships.

In other words, it will not be just such a shield ship that will go out to fight in the future, but a powerful group.

It can command drones and unmanned combat boats to conduct operations at the same time, thereby forming a swarm advantage in attacking the enemy, instead of a single ship fighting each other with the enemy.

With a thought, Su Dingping directly took out the drones and unmanned combat boats.

These are trivial to the military illustrated virtual space. There is no difficulty. Unmanned control technology has already achieved breakthroughs.

Suddenly, more than a dozen unmanned combat boats and ten unmanned combat aircraft appeared around the 052D shield ship. The water surface and sky immediately became densely packed, and the scale was so large that it made people excited to see it.

For surface ships, in addition to the threats they face from underwater, they are undoubtedly from the sky.

With these unmanned combat aircraft, they can detect threats from higher places, attack them, and even launch effective attacks on enemy aircraft.

In addition to carrying anti-ship missiles, these drones also carry ground attack munitions and air-to-air missiles to attack enemy air targets.

As for the numerous unmanned combat boats, they belong to another dimension.

Their main combat mission is to be at the forefront, pioneering the way for ships, clearing mines, and attacking enemy ships.

All unmanned combat units have suicide attack capabilities.

In other words, once the weapons and ammunition they carry are completely consumed, they will turn into the last ammunition and rush towards the enemy ship, dying together with the enemy.

"This is what naval warfare will look like in the future."

"The water surface and the air are all included, which is a bit interesting."

Seeing such a large-scale combat unit, Su Dingping showed a satisfied smile on his face.

In the past, when warships traveled, two ships would always be dispatched at the same time, one as the main battleship, and the other as a cover ship, plus a supply ship.

After the 052D achieves this goal, it can travel alone and fight against enemy fleets.

But now, he wants to comprehensively test the combat capabilities of the 052D shield ship.

On the far sea, three 052Cs are ready, and there are also several "Oyashio" class submarines from the Eastern Barren Tribe, as well as fighter jets and other weapons and equipment underwater.

The "Oyashio" class submarine is the latest representative of the ultra-large and quiet submarines installed by the Donghuang tribe. It is the absolute main force of its contemporary combat submarines.

From 1993 to 2003, Donghuangluhai built 11 "Oyashio" class submarines at a rate of one per year.

Adopting a "cigar-shaped" boat shape, the hull structure adopts a single or double mixed shell structure, that is, the bow and stern are double shell structures, and the middle part of the hull is a single shell, thereby adopting an inner rib structure, and the pressure-resistant shell is composed of Made of NS90 high-strength steel, the bottom of the boat is equipped with a ballast keel!

In this way, it has a daily working diving depth of 350 meters and a maximum diving depth of 500 meters.

In addition, 6 torpedo launch tubes are installed on the bow of the ship, with a bomb load of 6 (inside the tube) + 16 rounds (ammunition storage compartment), a total of 22 rounds, which is a powerful weapon!

It is also equipped with "Harpoon" anti-ship missiles with a range of 220 kilometers, a speed of Mach 0.85, and a missile weight of 522 kilograms.

Once the 052C shield ship is made public, the Donghuang tribe, and even the Eagle tribe behind it, will involuntarily choose submarines to deal with the Longxia tribe navy when surface combat ships cannot get any advantage.

After all, their intelligence organization is not a vegetarian, let alone a master who only does food but not work.

I am afraid that they have already comprehensively collected and mastered the advantages and disadvantages of the Longxia tribe's navy through the intelligence department, and formulated a corresponding combat plan.

Submarines undoubtedly occupy the most important part.

Whether it was during the previous World War II or in modern naval warfare, submarines played an irreplaceable role. They have strong concealment and have a great destructive effect on surface ships.

According to relevant data released by the Eagle Tribe.

During World War II, the number of Eagle Tribe submarines in the navy accounted for less than 2%, and the number of sinkable Donghuang Tribe Navy warships accounted for about 33% of the number of Eagle Tribe Navy's sinkable warships.

The number of merchant ships sunk accounted for more than 60%.

These data are enough to show that the greatest threat to surface ships comes from underwater submarines, which are extremely difficult to detect.

Whether the 052D guided missile destroyer goes out to perform missions or conduct sea area defense operations, it will inevitably encounter "Oyashio" class submarines.

"The Eastern Wilderness tribe has always been a dog that eats shit."

"The 052D battleship will be the backbone of the Longxia tribe's navy, and it will naturally have to strengthen its anti-submarine capabilities."

"I just don't know how it actually performs?"

"Still looking forward to it."

Su Dingping stroked his chin and looked at the sea below from a God's perspective.

This is the complete Dongzhou sea area, which has passed through the first island chain and is in the sea area to the west of the second island chain.

The first island chain is a blockade tailor-made by the Eagle Tribe and the Donghuang Tribe for the Longxia Tribe Navy. On this island chain, the two tribes have deployed numerous radars, sonar and a series of powerful detection equipment. device.

As long as the navy ships of the Longxia tribe pass through this sea area, they will inevitably trigger reactions from the two imperial tribes.

Their maritime fleets and combat aircraft will immediately coordinate.

After being equipped with 052D equipment, it will inevitably pass through this sea area, and naturally it will also take on the important task of breaking the blockade of the first island chain.

The first ones to deal with are Haizi and Kongzi from the Eastern Barren tribe!

"The first island chain is a shackle tied around the neck of the Longxia tribe's navy."

"The time has come to smash it once and for all."

Su Dingping glanced at the location of the first island chain, and all the relevant weapons and equipment deployed on it were clearly displayed.

Once a war breaks out, all of these will be destroyed!

He didn't want the imperialists to place such dirty things like dog chains at the Longxia tribe's outlet.

But the largest island in this chain is Dragon Claw Island.

For the Longxia tribe navy, it is also a place that must be solved.

Su Dingping knew very well that what really shattered the first island chain was not the advanced warships, but the complete taking back of Frog Island and the deployment of the Longxia tribe's navy on it.

Station more warships and transport ballistic missiles directly to them!

Once this goal is achieved, the first island chain will not only destroy itself without attack, but can also in turn deter the Eastern Wasteland tribe!

Guard the maritime traffic routes from north to south!

In fact, he knew the 052D's basic combat level and relevant data very well. Now it was natural to use the navy's most powerful warship to test it, that is, to find out where its limits were through actual combat testing.

In the real world, it is impossible to conduct live-fire tests on this scale.

Once this is done, if an accident occurs where the missile hits the target, it will not only cause the loss of the ship, but also a large number of casualties.

The cost is unbearable.

Previously, simulation tests were basically carried out through large-scale supercomputers to determine the ultimate combat level of warships.

Even the Eagle Tribe is not so arrogant.

Before each exercise, a computer-assisted war game is always conducted, followed by a live-fire exercise test.

After the ship is built, it will go out to test the performance of various ships and conduct target shooting tests at sea to have a general understanding of its basic combat level.

After all, in actual combat, the factors faced are complex and even more unpredictable.

The human factor plays an extremely important role. Ultimately, all weapons and equipment must be operated by humans. The quality of the captain, including the crew, is also a sign of the strength of the warship.

No matter how advanced the equipment is, if one cannot bring out its ultimate combat performance, it will be useless.

The 052D is a new generation of shield ship. Su Dingping still has no idea of ​​its ultimate combat level.

Although the integrated military factory is currently equipped with large-scale supercomputers, its simulation level is still not as realistic and powerful as the military industry illustrated virtual space.

Its biggest advantage is that the virtual space can take into account the quality of the crew.

The current version is that Su Dingping makes Zhou Qinglei the captain, and the crew is mainly composed of his subordinates, with the number fixed at 280.

They are representative and reflect the strength of the many surface ship combatants of the Longxia Tribe Navy.

In order to push its extreme performance, Su Dingping very cruelly installed fifty YJ-101B anti-ship missiles on the 052C.

The ultimate strike range of this missile has been directly increased to 600 kilometers.

It can carry out precise attacks on enemies under the guidance of early warning aircraft and satellites. The speed reaches Mach 2.2, and the terminal penetration speed reaches Mach 3.

This is the demand for the new generation of shore anti-ship distance. Su Dingping upgraded it with new fuel, added a turbojet engine, and a two-stage rocket propulsion device.

Naturally, strict coastal defense cannot rely entirely on surface combat ships. It also requires coastal defense forces with powerful firepower to act as the main force.

In the past, the coastal defense forces were equipped with weapons such as artillery and rapid-fire cannons, but now with technological upgrades, they have also replaced their guns with cannons.

The strike range is farther, and it can also cooperate with surface ships in combat!

This test was deployed on the ocean 1,000 kilometers away from the coast to test the 052D's ability to conduct ocean operations.

Three 052C ships were deployed in an offensive posture. They carried a number of 150 anti-ship missiles, as well as a larger number of anti-aircraft missiles.

The reason why all supersonic anti-ship missiles are used is because the maritime battlefield environment that 052D will face in the future will be even more severe.

The Western tribal camp, led by the Eagle Tribe, will develop faster anti-ship missiles.

"It's time to start."

"Let me see your true combat power."

After everything was prepared, Su Dingping issued the order to start the war.

Whether it is the 052D or the three 052Cs, they all adopt the method of free engagement, which means that there is only one 052D and it has to face the multi-angle siege of the three 052Cs alone.

There are also three Oyashio-class submarines underwater, and in the air there are the typical F15J fighters of the Donghuang Tribe, all of which carry anti-ship missiles.

There is only one chance to strike.

After all, in future naval battles, once a war breaks out, there will only be one chance of survival.

This time, Su Dingping remained a bystander throughout the whole process and would never intervene in any of the battles.

However, he stood in the 052D main control room, always staring at the situation on the big screen of the 'Star' combat system.

The 346A Sea Star radar has been activated. The radar waves scan the ship's surroundings 360 degrees without blind spots, displaying the latest information at all times.

The ultra-long-range detection range allowed it to be the first to discover the opponent's three 052C shield ships.

If the enemy does not move, I will not move.

This is the principle of engagement, but Su Dingping gave the initiative to three 052Cs, as well as the underwater 'Oyashio' class submarines and the fighter planes in the air.

"Didi!"

Suddenly the radar warning sounded rapidly.

After a quick glance, Su Dingping discovered on the comprehensive situation map that two F15Js from the Donghuang Tribe were approaching at high speed 500 kilometers away, carrying anti-ship missiles.

Suddenly the light spot shook, and four 'Harpoon' anti-ship missiles separated from the fighter plane and rushed towards it at a speed of nearly Mach 0.9.

At the same time, the YJ-101B anti-ship missiles on the 052C were also launched, 36 in one salvo!

The speed instantly broke through to Mach 3!

Three different directions, all are saturation attacks, which Su Dingping specially designed to deal with the Eagle Tribe warship, directly breaking the opponent's air defense limit.

Now he wants to test the fastest reaction speed of 052D.

The ability to cope with multiple directions and targets at the same time is an important indicator of future warships, and it also tests the 052D's ability to resist saturation attacks.

Suddenly, the alarm bell sounded, and 052D entered the highest level of combat readiness.

All the crew members went to work and focused on their posts.

Air defense orders have been issued.

The head of the air department stared nervously at the radar screen, his expression unusually calm, and then issued orders one after another.

The 052D staff is not as large as the 320 people of the Arleigh Burke class. The main reason is that this ship has introduced a target automation processing mechanism from the beginning, and the automation level of the entire ship has been raised to a completely new position.

The target response ability of the star control and command system is extremely fast, and it is completely calculated in microseconds, which is much faster than human calculations.

"All of them are here to solve the target."

"Start the interceptor."

"Tell me all the incoming targets and destroy them!"

The head of the prevention and control department issued the latest combat order, and the non-commissioned officers under his command quickly moved into action, tapping their fingers on the keyboard as fast as flying.

Soon, the hatches of the vertical launch missile system in the middle of the ship and the bow were opened.

The "Haihongqi"-901B ship-to-air missile responsible for air interception immediately switched to the automatic tracking and launching program, and its maximum range also increased from the original 120 kilometers to 200 kilometers.

"Bang!"

Suddenly the manhole cover exploded, and a thick ship-to-air interceptor missile quickly ejected from the crater. With green smoke rising into the sky, the missile body was ejected into the mid-air. The rocket engine then ignited and violently ejected tail flames.

"Whoosh!"

Accompanied by the sharp sound of breaking wind, the missile roared out, completed a turn in mid-air and then exploded towards the target.

In the blink of an eye, its maximum flight speed increased to Mach 6.

This extremely high speed is more than enough to intercept anti-ship missiles penetrating defenses at Mach 3.

Before the missile could fly far, the manhole cover opened again, and another ship-to-air missile burst out. This time it was directly converted into an interceptor bomb fired at a speed of one round per second.
