Chapter 197: Hypersonic missile! A weapon to fight against aircraft carriers?
[Do you know what a hypersonic missile is? 】

[If a supersonic missile is used to attack an aircraft carrier, can the aircraft carrier stop it? ]

Most of the sky-screen videos that ancient people watched before were about World War II.

And it was before World War II.

It was not the missile's turn to appear.

So no one knows what a missile is.

However, when this sky screen appeared, some images of missiles flying, attacking, and exploding were played.

Thanks to the fact that I have seen many scenes of hot weapon battles before.

The ancients could probably guess it.

A missile should be a flying shell loaded with explosives.

Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Taoist Ge Hong said: "The artillery shells of later generations can also fly a long distance in the air and cause a huge explosion."

"Missiles are supposed to be able to reach farther than artillery?"

"Is it possible that the power is even greater?"

"It should be a strengthened version of artillery?"

It seemed to confirm Ge Hong's guess.

Tianmu also briefly introduced what a missile is.

[A missile is an aircraft that carries a warhead, is propelled by its own power unit, and has its flight path controlled by a guidance system to guide and destroy the target.]

[It has many advantages such as long range, high accuracy, great power, strong penetration capability, and flexible use. ]

【In modern warfare, it plays an extremely important role. 】

[Some intercontinental ballistic missiles can carry multiple nuclear warheads. ]

[It is a super weapon that can be called a national treasure. ]

When introducing here.

The ancient people have restrained their previous relaxing mood of watching the sky curtain video.

Watch this video about missiles carefully.

Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng was a little confused, but also a little expectant. He said:

"A sacred weapon to protect the country?"

"It has a long range, great power, strong penetration capability, and is accurate?"

"This is simply the perfect weapon!"

"According to my guess, this missile probably has no disadvantages other than being a little expensive, right?"

"So what is the hypersonic missile that Tianmu mentioned at the beginning?"

"Could it be a missile that flies very high, is extremely powerful, and travels as fast as the speed of sound?"

Canopy.

[Hypersonic missiles have been a hot topic in missile technology in recent years.]

[Because it is more difficult to defend against than ordinary missiles, it has a greater chance of hitting the target. ]

[Hypersonics are difficult to defend against mainly because they are so fast.]

[Hypersonic missile, the speed can reach Mach 10! ]

[That is ten times the speed of sound! ]

【As we all know, the speed at which sound travels is called Mach. 】

[Its speed is 15 meters per second under standard atmospheric pressure and °C.]

[Hypersonic missile of Mach 10! ]

[This is equivalent to being able to fly over 3,400 meters per second! ]

[Its speed is amazing.]

[Traditional cruise missiles generally have trajectories within the atmosphere, and their speeds are generally not fast due to resistance issues.]

[For example, the famous Tomahawk cruise missile of the US military. ]

[The speed is only less than Mach 1.]

[After the hypersonic missile flies to a high altitude. ]

[Combining the advantages of ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, the speed exceeds Mach 10! ]

【Based on its high flying altitude and fast flying speed. 】

[It often also has a certain ability to change speed during sailing. ]

[For missile defense systems, it is extremely difficult to defend. ]

[It can be said that hypersonic missiles are a very powerful and advanced weapon. ]

[Compared with other missiles of the same type, the advantages of hypersonic missiles are very obvious. ]

[In terms of accuracy, it is not a special feature. ]

[But for most targets, the accuracy of hypersonic missiles is more than enough. ]

[Hypersonic missiles have been a hot topic in recent years. ]

【The penetration rate is relatively low around the world. 】

[Even the United States, the world's leading military power, is limited by technology and high costs.]

[So far, there is still no hypersonic missile. ]

【But one thing is certain. 】

[Hypersonic missiles are fast and have strong penetration capabilities. Without considering the cost, they are a superior substitute for ordinary cruise missiles.]

【It is the only weapon to deal with anti-missile powers. 】

Outside the sky.

Although ancient people had just come into contact with the concept of missiles.

But from the various introductions given so far.

And some actual combat and demonstration scenes.

The ancients could basically see it.

Hypersonic missile is a very powerful weapon.

They all long to have it.

No ancient people had any doubt about the power of this weapon.

They all feel very powerful.

But modern barrage viewers,

Obviously there are different opinions.

Many people started a discussion in the comment section of the video.

Most of the comments and comments praised the power of hypersonics, but there were also some opposing voices.

"Materials Science! Forever God!"

First, let’s define what hypersonic speed is.

"Hypersonics have strong penetration capabilities, but if the opponent has no anti-missile capabilities at all, then hypersonics will be useless. They are not as good as traditional missiles, which save a lot of money."

"Fortunately, the opponents we are fighting have strong anti-missile capabilities."

"Gao Chao: I am fighting against the elite!"

"It's just a piece of junk. The US doesn't even bother to equip it."

"Do you really think Gaochao is some kind of high-tech thing? Even the fellow villagers in the Slippers Army can do it!"

"Ah, yes, yes, what America doesn't have is garbage!"

"Do you really think the United States can't come up with something superb?"

《We can complete the research and development of hypersonics by simply changing the definition of hypersonics.》

...and in the discussion on the sky screen.

The second half of this sky curtain also begins to play.

[Due to their high cost, hypersonic missiles are usually used against fixed targets on the ground to ensure hit rate.]

[But large ships on the ocean are also targets of hypersonic missiles.]

[In modern ocean warfare, aircraft carriers are the undisputed overlord and core. ]

[In naval battles, fighter jets are naturally the ones that sink the most aircraft carriers. ]

[For a long time, everyone believed that aircraft bombing was the most effective way to sink an aircraft carrier. ]

[An aircraft that can carry a large number of high-powered bombs is naturally an excellent aircraft carrier killer. ]

【But after the end of World War II. 】

【With the continuous improvement of the aircraft carrier fleet system. 】

[It is not easy for fighter planes to intrude into the airspace over aircraft carriers as they did during World War II.]

【So anti-ship missiles appeared. 】

[It made up for the difficulty for fighter planes to approach aircraft carriers after World War II.]

[In October 1967, the Israeli destroyer Eilat was hit by a Styx anti-ship missile.]

[In 1982, during the Falklands War, Argentina, the weaker party, launched a $ Exocet missile.]

[The British destroyer Sheffield, worth 10 billion pounds, was sunk, shocking the world! ]

[It can be said that after the Second World War, it was baptized and verified by many local wars. ]

[Anti-ship missiles have gradually grown into the main weapon in naval warfare. ]

[In the development of anti-ship missiles. ]

[Russia's anti-ship missiles are the most famous. ]

[Russia's anti-ship missiles are comprehensive in variety and advanced in performance, ranging from air-launched to submarine-launched, from fleet-launched to land-launched.]

[Various types of anti-ship missiles pose a great threat to enemy surface ships.]

[Among them, the Zircon hypersonic cruise missile has a maximum flight speed of Mach 9 and a range of more than kilometers. ]

[It is called by Western media as an aircraft carrier nemesis tailor-made for Western aircraft carriers. ]

[It is said that recently, Zircon Missile also went to Cuba for a special trip. I don’t know what he went there for. ]

The marquee continues to play.

After playing several clips of actual missile combat footage.

The expert began to explain while holding back his laughter.

[There are not many models of hypersonic weapons in the world at present. ]

[Even if we include the US AGM-183 missiles, there are actually very few. ]

[One of the hypersonic missiles that have been confirmed is Russia's Zircon. ]

[In addition, the BrahMos 2 developed jointly by Russia and India also has a speed of Mach 8. ]

[There are also other new Russian missiles that have long range and extremely high speed.]

[This makes these new Russian missiles have extremely strong actual combat penetration capabilities. ]

[This makes it a missile that is almost impossible to intercept with current technology.]

……

The ancient people were watching carefully.

Think about how powerful Russia’s hypersonic missiles will be in the future.

Emperor Xin: "Oh? Russia's missiles are so powerful?"

Ying Zheng: "Experts in later generations are so fond of zircon. It seems that the most powerful hypersonic missile must be zircon, right?"

Liu Che: "I hope that China's hypersonic missiles in the future will not be too backward."

Zhao Gou: "Even the United States, the world's number one superpower, doesn't have hypersonics, so it must be a rubbish weapon."

Zhu Di: "In the future, the United States will have so many aircraft carriers, and it will indeed take a lot of expertise to threaten them."

The ancient people were all guided by the sky screen video and watched Damao's superb skills carefully.

But the barrage viewers obviously wanted to see something else.

"Speaking of zircon again, isn't our own much better than this?"

"Classics don't talk about themselves."

"Haha, Da Mao is brought out to take the beating again."

"Combined with real-time information, right? The big Russian frigate happened to be carrying zircon to Cuba. "

"Don't be so low-key! Let's brag about our own excellence!"

"Don't blame CCTV, because hypersonics has not yet been defined."

But on the sky curtain, the introduction of the superb performance of the Damao family continued.

[The Zircon missile is 6.25 meters long.]

【Bomb diameter: 520 mm.】

[The missile weighs 1.6 tons.]

【Using rocket boost. 】

【Add scramjet engine as power. 】

[The maximum range can reach 1100 kilometers. ]

[Zircon is the anti-aircraft carrier weapon that Russia has placed the highest hopes on.]

[Its ammunition capacity can reach 500 kg, and it is even said that it can carry 800 kg of ammunition. ]

[According to Soviet standards, a 500-kilogram warhead was enough to inflict heavy damage on an aircraft carrier.]

[The power is sufficient. ]

[Coupled with the ultra-fast speed of zircon, it can effectively break through the multi-layer anti-missile system of US aircraft carriers. ]

[Its threat to aircraft carrier battle groups is enormous. ]

[And the key is whether the United States can intercept Zircon after it is activated. ]

[How many can be intercepted at the same time? ]

【These are all things that need to be questioned. 】

[This also means that once a hypersonic missile such as Zircon enters the terminal stage and is within 25 kilometers of an aircraft carrier. ]

[The reaction time left for the ship is often only a dozen seconds.]

[It is a severe challenge to the anti-missile capability of aircraft carriers. ]

The sky screen video is over.

A large number of comments filled with joy also appeared.

"The expert was so serious when he was blowing the zircon that I could hardly hold back my laughter."

"The Firm: Look at my aircraft carrier sliding!"

《End-point interception is also interception! 》

《Video related tags: Slipper Army, I am dying of laughter.》

"Now, we invite the experienced combatants to share their experiences."

"Aircraft carrier: No buddy, is there a hypersonic aircraft in the desert? It's terrifying!"

The desert is magical, isn’t it?

"Zircon is not good enough, Eagle sauce deserves better."

"Without a graphics card, it's not powerful enough."

"It's a little difficult for your fighters to get close to the carrier, but your hypersonic missiles make up for it."

"How about putting explosive counterattack on the aircraft carrier deck?"
