Recently, the 10,000-ton amphibious dock landing ship 1401, a self-made 10,000-ton amphibious dock landing ship made by Taiwan Province, has been put into service. This dock is not as large as the 055 tonnage, so I don’t care about the performance of this dock at all. Anyway, it will definitely not be as good as the 071. However, Taiwan Province actually installed 32 Haijian-2 air defense missiles on this dock landing ship, , and these 32 air defense missiles were not launched on the vertical launch unit, but were launched on the tilted launch frame, which was very Renaissance.
These days, the Iranian navy, which has been strictly embargoed, has used the hanging hair! The newly built stealth dock in Taiwan Province is actually still using an inclined launcher. Is this something a normal designer can do? The two sides of the Taiwan Strait are at least the same nation. Theoretically, there shouldn’t be too big a gap in IQ. Why is Taiwan’s independent R&D capabilities so poor?
In addition, Taiwan Province is an important part of the United States' first island chain , the new surface ships are so bad. It can only be said that Taiwan is a pawn, which is already destined to be abandoned, otherwise Taiwan would not have even MK-41.
has a group of non-destroy frigates equipped with a large number of missiles , but there is no vertical air defense non-destroy frigates. There is only one without a semicolon
In today's era, most vertical launch units are installed on surface ships such as destroyer , frigate , cruiser , etc., but this never means that only the main battleship ships will be equipped with vertical launch units! Not to mention the Soviet Union's large group of aircraft cruisers armed to the teeth. French Navy USS Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier, Italian Navy USS Cafur light aircraft carrier, and Leicester amphibious assault ship are equipped with 4 sets of 8 units Silva A43 vertical launch units; Japanese Hyuga-class light aircraft carrier, equipped with 2 sets of 8 units MK-41 vertical launch units;
Indian Navy USS Vikramatia aircraft carrier is equipped with 3 sets of 8 units Balac-1 near-proof missile vertical launch units, USS Vikrant aircraft carrier is equipped with 4 sets of 8 units Balac-8 vertical launch units, and the U.S. Navy's seaship is widely used to have 4 to 8 sets of 8 combined MK-41s. South Korea's Tianwangfeng-class tank landing ship is equipped with 4 units of KVLS, and the full deck landing ship ordered by Qatar is installed behind the island of the island. Denmark Abu Salon-class flexible support ship is equipped with 3 sets of 12 units of MK-56...
Qatar ordered full-drag deck landing ship
aircraft carrier , helicopter aircraft carrier , amphibious assault ship , dock landing ship and other surface ships are basically the same. There are shortcomings in the quantity or quality of our escort ships, and non-combat ships can only undertake part of the air defense tasks on their own.
Taiwan Province's surface ships are understandable to install a large number of air defense missiles. After all, Taiwan Province, which has always pursued the use of military independence or maintained the status quo. It is assumed that the enemy has always been the mainland. Now, the combat capability of the East China Sea Fleet is already very strong. Therefore, as long as Taiwanese politicians do not give up the idea of using military independence, the surface ships of Taiwan Province must have strong air defense capabilities.
East China Sea Fleet 2021 There is a missing Guangxi ship. Remember a picture with Guangxi ship.
will not be found for a while. Therefore, the newly built Tuojiang-class frigate in Taiwan Province is equipped with good air defense capabilities in the same tonnage ship . It is also planned to remove the Hai Xiaoliu Tree of the Kangding-class frigate and install 32 Haijian 2 air defense missiles launched using vertical launch units. As the largest warship built by Taiwan Province, the Yushan-class dock landing ship naturally also requires strong air defense capabilities. Otherwise, the Eastern Theater Command would not even need 052D, and 22 would be able to solve Taiwan's group of surface ships that basically do not have air defense capabilities.
But why is the air defense missile of the Yushan-class dock landing ship launched by the Sea Sword 2 with 4 sets of 8-unit tilt launchers? The Air of the Sea Sword 2 is the sea-based version of the Sky Sword 2 air-to-air missile. It has a range of between 30 and 50 kilometers, a maximum flight speed of Mach 4, and its length and diameter are positioned. However, the Air-based Sky Sword 2's length is 3.6 meters long and has a diameter of 190 mm. The diameter of the Sea Sword 2 should be the same as that of Sky Sword 2. In terms of the length of the bullet, the length of the bullet may increase to 3.8 meters or 3.9 meters. If you observe the basic data of Haijian 2, you will find that this air defense missile is somewhat bad.
ESSM improved Sea Sparrow Air Defense Missile, with a length of 3.8 meters, a diameter of 254 mm, a weight of 280 kilograms, a warhead weighs 39kg, a maximum speed of Mach 4, a maximum range of 50 kilometers, and a maximum overload of 50G. It can be loaded in the MK-41 vertical launch unit in the form of one pit and four bombs, or in the form of one pit and one bullet in the form of an MK-56 vertical launch unit. Although
ESSM+MK-56
ESSM air defense missile is still used to undertake short-to-medium-range air defense missions, its range has exceeded the 3S90 Schickili air defense missile with a maximum interception distance of 45 kilometers (Modern class, 052B, Shwalik, 11356), and 3S90M with a maximum interception distance of 32 kilometers. The vertically launched version of Fakili (in order to enable Schickili air defense missiles to be vertically launched, Russia reduced the bullet diameter and length, resulting in a decrease in the interception slope distance) also surpassed the early HQ-16 air defense missile with an interception slope distance of about 45 kilometers (HQ-16B increased the interception slope distance to 75 kilometers), and the Ziyuan 15 air defense missile with a maximum interception slope distance of 30 kilometers, which can already undertake medium-range air defense tasks.
Because the advantages of MK-41+one pit and four bombs are too obvious, some NATO surface ships simply gave up on the consideration of carrying dedicated medium-range missiles, and only set up 16 vertical launch units, and 32 improved sea sparrow undertake medium- and short-range air defense tasks. 8 anti-submarine missiles are responsible for the anti-submarine mission. The data of
ESSM and Haijian-2 air defense missiles are similar in all aspects. The 8-unit MK-41 requires far less cabin space than the 32 Haijian 2 space required. That is to say, NATO and Japan and South Korea, if an landing ship needs to be equipped with 32 medium-range air defense missiles, it is enough to install the 8-unit MK-41.
Yushan Ship's air defense missile tilt launch frame
and Yushan Ship's 32-shot sea sword 2 chooses to use a 4-group 8-assembled tilt launch frame launch system, which means that when Yushan Ship launches air defense missiles, it needs to aim the launch frame as much as possible at the target's attack direction. Otherwise, after the missile is out of the barrel, the gas rudder needs to be deflected at a high angle to adjust the course. The vertically launched air defense missile has the ability to intercept all directions. If it weren't for this, the vertical launch unit would not sweep the inclined launch rack into the historical garbage dump. So it is really confusing to say that the Yushan ship still uses this tilted launcher.
Huaijian-2 vertical launch test
Taiwan is not without MK-41. In the past two years, the Haijian-2 air defense missile also conducted vertical launch experiments. It has been several years since the vertical launch version of the Haijian-2 has not yet been finalized? Even if Taiwan Province temporarily fails to fix the problem of one pit and four bombs, it will not fix the compatibility issues between the Sea Sword-2 and MK-41. It is not difficult to get a dedicated hanging hair for the Tianjian-2, right? Barack-1, Barack-8, 3S90M, and SA-N-9 are all special-purpose bombs. Isn’t it okay to solve the problems of existence and none first, and then find ways to solve the problems of good or bad?
Although Europe and the United States have taken into account the reaction of mainland China, the weapons and equipment exported to Taiwan are small in quantity, high in price, and poor in quality, but the international environment of Taiwan is still better than the blocked Iranian , right? Iran's Soleimani-class missile boats can be equipped with Iran's independent special missile development dedicated air defense missiles and anti-ship missiles and vertical launches. Both sides of the Taiwan Strait are Chinese, so there should be no gap in IQ. How can Taiwan’s independent R&D capabilities be worse than this?
is equipped with 16 air defense vertical launches and 6 cruise missile vertical launches. The Soleimani-class missile boat
can only be said that although Taiwan's card is the main card of the United States to China, the United States is very clear that Taiwan's card is no longer valuable. Once the People's Liberation Army really makes up its mind, Taiwan cannot make any waves at all, so the United States only needs to export some high-priced and inferior weapons to Taiwan and squeeze out the last bit of oil from Taiwan. In order not to be abandoned by the United States, Taiwan independence elements can only keep kneeling down and licking the United States. They can only say that they live a very humble life. They can stand, but they have to kneel down.
