Recently, the Global Network reported that in response to the previous articles of the US media about the US bombers can destroy the Russian fleet, the Russian Satellite News Agency said in an interview with former Black Sea Fleet Commander Vladimir Komoyedov: The Russian naval fleet has a reliable air defense system, and there is no need to scare us!
Earlier, the Us "Fox" magazine published an article saying that the US Air Force B-1 bomber has a strong ability to attack the sea, and two B-1 bombers can fire 48 LRASMs, which is enough to destroy the entire Baltic Fleet of the Russian Navy. In this regard, Vladimir Komoyedov said: First of all, the Russian Navy ships have a complete anti-aircraft weapon system, these prevention and control weapon systems have excellent performance and regular live-fire tests. At the same time, its naval ships also have a well-established air cover force. Finally, Komoyedov made a tough statement: there is no need to scare the Baltic Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy.
< H1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the U.S. B-1 bomber has a strong sea attack capability</h1>
The B-1 bomber is the main strategic bomber of the United States, its maximum flight speed can reach Mach 1.25, the range is 12,000 kilometers, the maximum bomb load can reach 60 tons, it has a large range, a large bomb load and can carry large-sized ammunition characteristics. With the blessing of the high-precision aiming pod, it has a strong ground attack capability, and the LRASM gives the B-1 bomber a powerful sea attack capability.
The LRASM is a new generation of anti-ship cruise missile developed by the United States, using F107-WR-105 turbofan engines, the body uses low wind resistance modeling, and the range can reach 926 kilometers. At the same time, the projectile body also adopts stealth technology, which has a stronger penetration capability under the blessing of the US military's powerful electromagnetic combat capabilities. At the same time, it uses a 454-kilogram penetration blasting and anti-personnel warhead, which has a better ability to damage large ships than the U.S. Navy Harpoon missile.
The combination of the B-1 bomber and the LRASM missile is undoubtedly a powerful combination, and the range of the LRASM missile of nearly 1000 kilometers gives the B-1 bomber the ability to attack the sea outside the defense zone against the sea. The large range and large bomb load of the B-1 bomber allow the US military to obtain a wider range of anti-ship strikes against the sea and a greater strike density.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > difficult to completely destroy the Baltic Fleet, but theoretically there is a possibility of heavy damage</h1>
The Baltic Fleet of the Russian Navy was first established in the Tsarist era and was twice awarded the Order of the Red Banner. However, due to the collapse of the Soviet Union, although Russia inherited the four major fleets of the Soviet Navy, the naval strength was greatly reduced due to the influence of Russia's national strength. In addition to the northern fleet still maintaining a certain combat strength, the strength of the other three major fleets was directly reduced to the freezing point.
At present, the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Navy has 1 "Hyundai" class guided-missile destroyer, 2 11540 type guided missile frigates, 4 20380 type light missile frigates, 4 "Toad" class tank landing ships, 2 "Bison" class air cushion landing boats, 2 "Kilo" class diesel-electric submarines, 4 Type 1234 guided missile boats, 6 "Pakim" class corvettes and minesweepers, with a total of about 30 ships. Among them, the most capable combat is the "Hyundai" class guided-missile destroyer "Persistence". This type of destroyer is designed to assist the Type 1155 Dreadnought class large anti-submarine ship, mainly to undertake fleet air defense and anti-ship tasks. With a full load displacement of 7300 tons, China has introduced 4 modified ships to deploy in the East China Sea Fleet.
The main anti-control weapon system of the modern class is based on the Land Kisam-11 improved Shtil-1 air defense missile system, and this air defense system also followed the modern class to our country, which is known as the "Skili" air defense weapon system. The anti-aircraft missile is a medium-range anti-aircraft missile with a maximum range of 25 kilometers, using semi-active guidance, providing early warning and initial target orientation by the top plate three-coordinate radar, and the MR-90 fire control radar providing illumination guidance. The radar uses mechanical scanning and has a maximum detection distance of up to 300 kilometers. The roof radar and the "Schilli" missile are both products of the Soviet period, and for the LRASM missile with stealth capability produced by the United States in the new century, it is difficult to achieve long-range early warning detection, and the anti-jamming ability and combat capability in a complex electromagnetic environment are also difficult to meet the requirements.
Because B-1 bombers can launch targets at a distance of 900 kilometers from the target, and the LRASM missile uses a low-altitude ballistic trajectory, it is difficult for the Hyundai-class destroyer to detect the B-1 bomber ready to attack before the B-1 bomber launches the LRASM missile, and it is also impossible to detect and track the launched LRASM missile. Well, the LRASM missile can only be detected when it enters the last 50 km penetration phase, because the LRASM missile penetration speed is Mach 0.8, which means that the reaction time left for the Modern class is only about 3 minutes, although this time is not impossible for a well-trained navy, but it is a big challenge for the Russian Navy. Although the modern class is equipped with a "music station" over-the-horizon radar, the use of this radar is greatly affected by the weather, and it is difficult to ensure combat reliability. The modern class uses two single-arm "Schilli" missile launchers, with a total of 48 ammunition and limited anti-saturation strike capability. As a result, it was somewhat difficult to counter the 48 LRASM missiles fired by two B-1 bombers in the Modern class.
However, the Baltic Fleet also has 2 Type 11540 guided missile frigates and 4 Type 20380 light missile frigates, of which the Type 11540 missile frigates are equipped with 4 groups of eight-pack 32 SA-N-9 "Dagger" anti-aircraft missiles and 2 sets of "Kashdan" gun integrated air defense systems, SA-N-9 is a short-range air defense missile, the maximum range of 12 kilometers. The Type 20380 light missile frigate, although smaller, has a vertical launch device and can carry four 9M96E1 air defense missiles with a range of 40 kilometers or 9M96E2 air defense missiles with a range of 120 kilometers, or 9M100 air defense missiles with a range of 15 kilometers. From the perspective of the air defense performance of the Baltic Fleet ships, it is difficult to fight against the B-1 bombers and LRASM missiles of the United States alone without relying on land-based radar guidance, but it is also difficult for the United States to completely destroy the Russian Baltic Fleet with 2 B-1 bombers and 48 RASM anti-ship missiles, but it is theoretically possible to seriously damage the Baltic Fleet.
< H1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > to deal with U.S. B-1 bombers, the Chinese Navy is more relaxed</h1>
Through the analysis above, we will find that the B-1 bomber with the LRASM anti-ship missile has the ability to attack outside the zone, so this is also a greater threat to China's naval fleet. LRASM also has a certain stealth capability, so it will also cause certain trouble to the air defense of our navy ships, of course, this threat is not fatal, the reason is that compared with the Russian army, our army is equipped with more advanced air defense systems.
Our army is equipped with the Aegis system, which is not a simple phased array radar system, but a highly automated command system that integrates all the radar systems, weapon systems, sonar systems, anti-submarine torpedo deep bomb systems, and active and passive jamming systems on the ship into an automated command system with intelligent analysis. The system can comprehensively analyze the detection information of the detection device such as the ship's radar, automatically analyze the nature of the target, track and speed, and give the interception plan for the commander to choose after comprehensive analysis. When the commander downloads the interception command, the interception is automatically carried out according to the interception scheme. Compared with the previous combat command system, it has a higher degree of automation, stronger information analysis capabilities, and faster response speed. Although the detection distance of china's navy Aegis ships cannot reach the launch distance of the LRASM missile (and it is also impossible to follow the whole process), in the 3 minutes required for the last 50 km penetration of the LRASM missile, the Aegis combat system of our navy has sufficient reaction time.
Based on the cutting-edge technology of the 21st century, the active phased array radar equipped by China's navy not only has a stronger multi-target detection and tracking capability, but also can still work reliably in a complex electromagnetic environment. Coupled with the equally strong electromagnetic combat capability of our navy, this makes our naval ships calm against the US B-1 bomber and the LRASM missile.
In summary, it is obviously impossible for the U.S. Navy to destroy the entire Baltic Fleet of the Russian Navy by firing 48 LRASM missiles using only two B-2 bombers, and of course it is unlikely that the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Navy will retreat completely. At the same time, we also need to pay attention to the powerful attack capability of the combination of B-1 bombers and LRASM missiles, which will also cause some trouble to our naval fleet. Although it is impossible to threaten our naval fleet by relying solely on this one attack method, considering that if the U.S. Navy uses a variety of means to attack, it will inevitably overwhelm our naval ships, and how to deal with this threat will be the next focus of our navy.
