aircraft carrier battle group has extremely powerful strike capabilities, the huge tonnage of aircraft carrier will naturally become the target of being taken care of during maritime operations. The United States claims to be the "maritime overlord" and has 11 aircraft carriers in hand, so the outside world has never stopped discussing the issue of "how to sink the US aircraft carrier". After all, if the US Navy is really sunk in combat state, it will be very shocking for the whole world. It is worth noting that Western experts have previously listed countries that may sink US aircraft carriers, with Japan and Russia becoming the only two, while China was not nominated.
However, unexpectedly, the US website of 1945 recently published an article saying that China currently has five weapons that can sink US aircraft carriers, and each one is fatal to US aircraft carriers. At the same time, the article also pointed out that the US military has no choice but to four of them. Generally speaking, this article classifies these five weapons. The first category is conventional attack weapons including ship-based missile and submarine torpedo. The remaining four categories are anti-ship missile , anti-ship ballistic missile , hypersonic missile and an unexpected weapon.
is first of all, a conventional attack weapon. The article points out that the total weight is 850 kg, the cruise speed is 0.9 Mach, and the terminal guidance is actively guided by radar . The YJ-83 anti-ship missile that can be launched on multiple platforms such as ship-based, land-based, air-based, submarine-based, etc. is comparable to the US MK-48 torpedo . The Fish-6 heavy torpedo with a maximum speed of 65 knots and a maximum range of 45 kilometers have the ability to effectively attack US aircraft carriers. Especially the combination of Yu-6 and the 093B nuclear submarine that has reached the highest level, US media believes that it can enter the anti-submarine circle on the innermost side of the US aircraft carrier.
is followed by anti-ship missiles. The article points out the YJ-12 with three times the speed of sound. The article believes that the YJ-12 heavy supersonic anti-ship missile with a maximum flight speed of up to Mach 3, can carry 500 kilograms of conventional warheads or nuclear warheads, and a maximum range of up to 400 kilometers. Once it is equipped with H-6K, it will pose a fatal threat to the US aircraft carrier. After all, the range of YJ-12 is far greater than that of the "Aegis" and "Standard-2" air defense missiles. In addition, its serpentine maneuvering orbital change capability at the end can effectively penetrate, and even make the US Navy unable to defend.
, and the anti-ship ballistic missile, are also the Dongfeng-21D and Dongfeng-26 that everyone expected. Because of their mysterious and powerful combat power, the US military has mentioned these two equipment more and more times. Like the Dongfeng-21D, as China's first generation land-based anti-ship ballistic missile, its range of about 2,150 kilometers makes it difficult for US aircraft carriers to get close to China's coast. Like the Dongfeng-26, just thinking about how it can carry about 1.8 tons of conventional missiles, and nuclear warhead , with a range of about 4,000 kilometers, makes people feel numb. As for the US Navy, it is not safe to operate in in the second island chain of .
is followed by hypersonic missiles. Needless to say, everyone knows that it is the terrifying Dongfeng-17. It is worth noting that US media pointed out that the Dongfeng-17 is the world's first hypersonic missile to be officially put into service, with a flight speed of Mach 5 to 10. The most important thing is that because gliding ballistics are adopted throughout the entire process, it not only can avoid the US military's air defense system , but its irregular maneuver will also make the US military at a loss.
The last unexpected weapon is actually a cross-media anti-ship missile with high discussion recently. We have previously introduced that this is a supersonic missile that can enter the sky and enter the water. During the cruise phase, it can reach a cruise altitude of 9,700 meters and a cruise speed of Mach 2.5; after entering the water, it can sail 20 kilometers at a speed of 100 meters per second. This penetration capability is particularly effective when attacking the target of the surface ship .
Overall, the article believes that China has more and more means to sink US aircraft carriers, which has made the US Navy more passive in the Asia-Pacific region.But what we want to say is that the US media exaggerates this, perhaps by exaggerating the "China threat" to increase military spending, but even if China is far more than these five means of sinking US aircraft carriers, at the moment of peaceful development and win-win cooperation, if the United States had not pressed step by step and made the situation irreversible, China would not have made such reckless actions. In this way, the US media hyped this time from time to time, and the degree to which "take the heart of a gentleman with a villain" can be seen.
