#Summer Life Punch Season#A few days ago, the South China Morning Post reported that the digital simulation exercise report of the DF aircraft carrier battle group published by the team of Cao Hongsong of North University of China (in Taiyuan, a national second-level secret unit) published in China's "Journal of Testing Technology" magazine. The report shows: the target of the exercise is the aircraft carrier Ford + one cruiser + four Burke II. The means of attack were DF anti-ship missiles of the A and B classes, which sank an average of 5.6 ships in 20 rounds of simulation exercises. There are only 6 target ships, 5.6 sunk, it can be seen that in 20 rounds of simulation exercises, at least every ship is guaranteed to land, it should be noted that the article indicates that it is "sinking", which means that anti-ship missiles break the "myth" that the aircraft carrier cannot be sunk.
In this report, it is to ensure that 14.4 rounds sink the fleet and achieve the operational objectives
In 2016, the American Ford underwent an explosion-resistant impact test. The use of thousands of pounds of explosives set off an underwater seismic intensity of 3.9 on the Richter scale near the carrier. With the incompressibility of the water, the damage to the hull would be enormous, and reports indicate that the aircraft carrier "Ford" suffered only some "minor injuries". There was also a joke circulating on the Internet, saying that the United States had used all weapons except nuclear weapons, including missiles and torpedoes, to bomb the Kitty Hawk in World War II for a month, but it did not sink, and finally had to start the C4 explosives inside the aircraft carrier to send the Kitty Hawk to the bottom of the sea. Everything is playing out a "story" that an aircraft carrier is impossible to sink, but they ignore one detail of the sinking of the Kitty Hawk - the internal explosion of the C4.
Of course, the six-ship carrier battle group is not so easy to fight, with nearly 500 vertical systems, more than half of which are equipped with anti-aircraft missiles, and the simulation exercise has set it to be equipped with 264, including the Standard 3 capable of intercepting ballistic missiles. At the same time, the simulation exercise also set up that the PLA's reconnaissance was not supported by satellites. This shows that it is a digital simulation exercise under high-intensity confrontation, and this is even a simulation exercise under which the PLA is tied under some hands and feet under ideal conditions. Perhaps this is a high-fidelity digital exercise under a defensive counterattack.
The digital simulation exercise of the Peking University Cao Hongsong team disclosed one of 20 DF strike carrier battle groups. That is, the first wave is 8 Class A missiles with a range of 2000 km to consume standard 3 class anti-aircraft firepower, the second wave is 8 Class B missiles with a range of 4000-5000 km, of which 4 Ben "Ford" and the other 4 are Ben Burke II, and the cruiser, which uses 2 Class A missiles launched from the source. After the evaluation of the undetective 8, the third wave fired six more Class A missiles. The results of the experiment show that the Ford class uses the latest electronic warfare equipment in the United States, so 4 B types are used, Burke II has strong electronic interference capabilities, survivability is slightly stronger, each ship is also allocated 1 B type, the experiment shows that Burke II can still eat, only to have the back 6 plus meals, the Ticonderoga cruiser is a little older, two A types are enough.
20 simulation experiments showed that the hit rate of Class A missiles was 80%, and that of Class B missiles was 90%. Personally, I think that the whole will not be too long, in one go, the first and second waves of DF transmission spacing is short, and then on the detection 8 assessment time and the third wave of arrival, the whole battle process is interlocked, at the speed of Mach 11 of A/B type, half an hour, the battle is over.
It is rare for Chinese academic journals to publish such simulation experiments, and it is no longer shy away from using the most advanced aircraft carrier fleet of the United States as a target ship. Similar digital simulation exercises have been done in the United States many times, but they are taken out of context and made a "crushing victory" result, which is used to bolster those who need it.
The simulation exercise paper of Cao Hongsong's team at North University of China mentioned that the entire strike process was based on the "Mozi" system, which is obviously not the "Mozi" quantum satellite, but an artificial intelligence combat model with the same name. Big data not only contains the parameters of the combat ships and weapons of all parties, but also the natural environment parameters and battlefield settings at that time, and its various data accuracy and settings determine the generation of the combat plan and the combat results. The computing power determines the speed of scheme generation, and the battlefield environment changes rapidly, and the immediacy determines the feasibility of the scheme by playing fast and slow.
20 digital simulation exercises show that the report of the Cao Hongsong team of Zhongbei University has fully considered the changes in parameters and conditions in various environments, and the "Mozi" system has generated the best "operation" plan according to the changes of parameters to ensure the best combat results. Judging by the results of 20 sinkings of an average of 5.6 ships, the battlefield is one-sided, and such a result may be what the United States calls a "crushing victory".
Whether it's 14.4 or 24, we certainly don't count that amount
