Recently, the entire loading and launching process of the Seawolf carrier-based air defense missile was exposed, which is very exciting. The Sea Wolf air defense missile is a short-range point defense air defense weapon. Its combat performance and status are equivalent to the Haihong-7 air defense missile system equipped by the Chinese navy. The picture shows the Seawolf shipborne air defense launcher loading missiles. The
Seawolf carrier-based air defense system adopts a 6-unit layout, but it is not a double-layer structure, but a special three-layer structure layout, with 2 air defense missiles installed on each layer.
and the Seawolf air defense missile launching box is different from other similar weapons in the world in appearance. It is not a standard box or cylindrical structure, but a similar convex layout. The
Sea Wolf air defense missile uses solid fuel. A large cross-shaped arrow cluster wing surface is installed in the middle of the missile body. There is also a set of smaller arrow cluster-shaped cross control surfaces at the tail of the missile. The
Sea Wolf air defense missile has a length of 1.9 meters, a diameter of 0.3 meters, and a wingspan of 0.45 meters. The warhead uses 14 kg fragment bombs, and the whole body weight is only 82 kg. The
Sea Wolf air defense missile has a maximum flight speed of Mach 3, a firing height of 3000 meters, a minimum range of 1000 meters, and a maximum range of 10 kilometers.
The improved Sea Wolf air defense missile is still in service. It is mainly equipped on the Type 22 and Type 23 frigates of the Royal Navy. The
Sea Wolf air defense missile is a ship-based air defense weapon that has participated in actual combat. It has participated in the Falkland Islands War and the Gulf War. Its comprehensive performance is in the forefront of the world's short-range point defense air defense weapons.
