The land-based Harpoon Anti-Ship Missile System is a low-altitude sea-skimming subsonic anti-ship missile system developed and built by the United States, which is mainly deployed near the coastline to resist the close area and prevent the opposing landing forces and fleets from approaching the coastal areas, and has successfully sunk the enemy frigate after many actual combat tests.
RGM-84
The land-based Harpoon anti-ship missile, codenamed RGM-84L, has a basic parameter launch weight of 690 kg, a warhead of 221 kg and a semi-armor-piercing warhead, a maximum range of about 220 km, a power system J402-CA-400 turbojet engine, a maximum flight speed of Mach 0.9, using active radar plus satellite/inertial composite guidance.
A harpoon anti-ship missile system consists of a missile control vehicle, two missile launchers, an ammunition parts transport replenishment vehicle, using a Scania 113M/320 truck chassis, good maneuverability, the power system is an inline 6-cylinder DSC11 engine, displacement of 11 liters, maximum 320 horsepower.
The missile adopts PR-53/DSQ-28 single-pulse active radar, which has good adaptability to bad weather environments, has a scanning angle of plus or minus 60 degrees, a detection distance of 60 kilometers, mainly searches, captures and tracks the target, and the structure is lighter and heavier than 34 kg.
This type of missile has been integrated into the NATO data chain, and the mobile launch vehicle deployed near Odessa can be detected according to other methods such as star chains, early warning aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft and satellites, which gives the Ukrainian army a certain degree of information-based combat capability, and informatization has a greater advantage in mechanization, and can make up for some of the gaps in military strength.
The United States is now doing the same, the United States Worldview-1 and other 3 commercial satellites have arrived over the Black Sea, said to be commercial satellites, but this type of satellite running in low Earth orbit is plainly a dual-use satellite, the satellite has a resolution of 0.5 meters and a maximum detection range of 3600 square kilometers, almost attached to the monitoring.
And now Denmark has given the Ukrainian side, Ukrainian Defense Minister Alexei Leznikov posted a long post on social media saying that the US-made "Harpoon" anti-ship missile supplied by Denmark to Ukraine has been deployed, but this type of high-tech weapon needs time to form combat effectiveness, so quickly formed combat effectiveness either Denmark has long come to train the Ukrainian army, or mercenaries are threatening.
Harpoon can be paired with Ukraine's Neptune anti-ship missiles to block waters one hundred to two hundred kilometers off the coastline, and although both missiles are subsonic anti-ship missiles, they are still quite deadly to the landing or supply forces of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
The Russian Black Sea Fleet's Type 21631 corvette is likely to have been damaged by a Neptune missile, which should be the missile using airburst mode or close-in gun destruction of the incoming missile, in short, the high-speed half-armor-piercing warhead still injured this small and medium-sized surface ship, and then can only return to the home port with the tugboat.
In addition to the attack on military ships, the Ukrainian army also carried out 3 rounds of missile attacks on 3 oil platforms in the Black Sea, and it should be known that the oil rigs were accompanied by a huge amount of natural gas in addition to the oil excavated, although the attack was not made by harpoons, but the area of the incident was only 70 kilometers away from Odessa, which was completely within the range of the above two types of missiles.
In addition to Denmark, South Korea and the mainland have respectively equipped and purchased this type of equipment for the blockade of the coastline, the United States and other Western countries have stopped purchasing this type of missile, mainly using NSM (naval strike missile), LRASM (long-range anti-ship missile), improved Tomahawk cruise missile for anti-ship and land attack, in the end this is already a backward product.
All information source network and netizens guess that there may be discrepancies with real data, sorting out is not easy to ask the audience here for a free attention and like, everyone wants to see what the country's weapons and equipment and military strength, you can private message or leave a message in the comment area to order, I will reply to everyone, thank you for kowtowing to everyone.
