Chapter 825 Target Shooting Experiment (I)

"Colonialism is the sorrow of all third world countries. We, the Soviet Union, are an armed group of workers and peasants, and we have risen from the bottom. We are well aware of the sufferings of ordinary people and the harm that colonialism has brought to third world countries. We did not expect that, nowadays, there are still countries that want to brazenly maintain their colonial rule and continue to occupy their colonies. This is simply reversing history and going against the tide of history!" Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko made a speech to the world in Moscow.

Americans, you want to maintain world order? Don't be ridiculous! Do you think you are the boss? The Soviet Union will take care of this matter! Moreover, the order you maintain is the order of the colonialists?

"We reject colonialism, we uphold justice, and we know that justice will prevail!" This sentence sounds high-sounding, but in fact, what it means is that whoever wins is just!

"In addition, we announce that we will hold an experiment in the Black Sea in the near future to use submarine-launched anti-ship ballistic missiles to attack surface ships. This experiment has nothing to do with the current situation. It is an experiment that we have already planned, and it is not for any arms race. The development of our Soviet military power is the most normal, and will never drag down people's livelihood to develop military power." Gromyko continued.

In the Black Sea, an experiment was held to use submarine-launched anti-ship ballistic missiles to hit surface ships? Isn't this a slap in the face of the Americans? The reporters with a keen sense of smell immediately realized something. The next day, the official newspapers were all filled with such news!

Can ballistic missiles hit surface ships? In addition to the Soviet Union's news, the newspapers also published more analysis of this technology.

"We believe that using ballistic missiles to attack aircraft carriers requires overcoming two difficulties." The senior military expert, as a guest on a military program, began his analysis on the screen with spit flying everywhere.

"First of all, although the target of the aircraft carrier formation is large, it is too small compared to the sea, so the first problem is to find the aircraft carrier. Recently, the military operations in the South Atlantic have attracted the attention of all of us. We can find that during the entire war, the US Navy could not find any trace of the Soviet Navy. It was not until the end of the battle that the Soviet Navy formation appeared from the Antarctic Circle. This shows that it is very difficult to find an aircraft carrier formation in the vast ocean. If you can't find the target, you can't launch an attack."

The military expert cited the example of the Americans. I wonder how the US Navy cursed this senior expert at that time.

"The second point, and the most difficult one, is that ballistic missiles are used to attack stationary targets on the ground. Now they are used to attack moving targets. Then, when the missile re-enters the atmosphere, it must maneuver, that is, change its trajectory. This requires the missile to have the ability to change trajectory and the ability to receive signals midway. At the same time, unless a nuclear bomb is used to intercept and accurately hit an aircraft carrier, it is necessary to arrange a radar on the missile warhead. When the missile comes down at a speed of more than Mach 10, the reaction time left for the missile is very short. In short, I personally feel that it is very difficult for the Soviets to make breakthroughs in these aspects. I guess that the Soviets' experiment of attacking surface ships this time will definitely hit fixed targets, that is, surface ships are stationary. If this is the case, then this experiment is more of a show."

Show! This experiment by the Soviets was full of threats! Obviously, the Soviets wanted to tell the United States that if the United States dared to send six aircraft carrier battle groups, the Soviet Union would dare to export this anti-ship ballistic missile to Argentina and let Argentina destroy the US Navy aircraft carrier! Even if submarines are not used, it can be turned into a land mobile launch!

The analysis of military experts is that the Soviets used ballistic missiles to attack aircraft carriers, which is pure nonsense! Unless nuclear warheads are used. However, if nuclear warheads are really used, the war will escalate!

Moreover, exporting nuclear warheads is simply impossible because the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is there!

"The Soviets must be pretending!" In the Pentagon, the US Department of Defense was also cursing. At the same time, they also knew the significance of the Soviet experiment, so they mobilized more satellites to fly over the Black Sea. At the same time, Europe's early warning aircraft also took off and arrived at the west coast of the Black Sea to observe the movements on the sea.

When the news that the Soviets were going to attack surface ships came out, this sea area was closed to navigation. This was of course nonsense. Would you still sail at this time and wait for the Soviet missiles to hit you? What if the missile hit the wrong target and destroyed your ship?

So, there was only one target ship left on the sea!

When the high-precision reconnaissance satellite was aimed at the warship, the Americans were also surprised. This was a Kotlin-class destroyer! The Soviets were so rich that they actually used a warship built in the 1950s as a target ship!

You know, this thing is not considered outdated. Even if it is retired and left to the coast guard or something, it is still a good thing. But the Soviets actually wasted it and used it as a target ship!

At the same time, this solitary warship is not stationary on the sea, but is sailing at top speed! Although this type of warship with a steam turbine accelerates slowly, it has great power and its final speed is not low. For example, now, this warship is sailing at a top speed of 34 knots!

The ship was not rusty, it seemed the Soviets had maintained it well! At the same time, even if this target ship slapped a certain expert in the face, the Soviets would not shoot at fixed targets, they shot at mobile targets!

At the same time, the Americans were even more shocked by the progress made by the Soviets in automatic control systems! Now, since this warship is a target ship, it is absolutely impossible for someone to control it, unless those people want to become martyrs. In other words, this warship is completely automatically controlled!

Controlling a warship is not as simple as a remote control car! You know, a warship requires hundreds of people to operate. Even if there is no weapon system now, it takes 20 to 30 people just to drive the warship away. There are many parts to control, such as the power system, steering system, etc. The Soviets have been silent recently, but have made great progress in all aspects!

Now, the Americans have no time to lament about these things. As the target ship gradually sails westward, it is getting farther and farther away from the east, and the Soviet anti-ship ballistic missiles are about to emerge from underwater!
