US aircraft carrier will not withstand the impact of a joint Russian and Chinese missiles

Chinese online edition EastDay informed about the sad fate of US aircraft carrier: "One rocket is not enough, to destroy 50 military aircraft and a huge ship? The missile DongFeng-26 is a real killer of aircraft carriers, and it is easily cope with this task!"That's a pretty bold statement is based on a survey of experts.

Wherein, of course, with a floating airfield will be destroyed and the whole aviation group, consisting of 90 airplanes and helicopters of various types and purposes. States for damage will be huge - about 15 billion. dollars.

China, usually, not shining on all the technical characteristics of its advanced weapons. And especially not disclose technological details. But here EastDay unveiled an interesting fact - DF-26 missile complexes have a unique opportunity to do in the enemy aircraft carriers just two holes - one, and on the other hand in case of a successful hit.

Need to say, that the DongFeng-26 (It translates as "East Wind") called "Killer of Guam", rather than aircraft carriers. Carriers are too unimportant for them the goal. The goal - Guam area 540 sq.km., where two powerful US military bases are located - the aviation and naval. In this case, US strategists do not hide, that strengthening the bases of late due to the need to contain China.

As a result,, as we were taught in the school physics lessons, action turned out to be equal and opposite reaction. The United States increased their power base, increasing the number of strategic B-52 and B-2. At the end of last year, they repeatedly made demonstrative flights in the South China Sea. I have visited there and the American warships. Guam returned to base nuclear-powered submarine of the "Los Angeles", modified for the use of missiles "Tomahawk".

In response, Beijing announced, that the JF-26 can be equipped with not only the usual, but also nuclear warheads. island, Located in the Pacific Ocean, this should be enough.

And the distance in a little over three thousand kilometers, otdelyayushtee China Guam, rocket easily overcomes. Range two-stage solid propellant rocket average range is between 3000 km from 5500 km. Basing - wheeled. To date, more than twenty-deployed launchers.

Incomplete information about the characteristics of the missile forces to build a variety of versions. From the developers did not receive any information on the accuracy of shooting. There are reports from US intelligence agencies - a deviation from the target is within 150-450 meters. It's too much for conventional warhead, even if its weight reaches 1200-1800 kg. And talk about, that the rocket pierces the aircraft carrier with the two sides, It sounds pretty weird. But for a nuclear warhead, which can be spent on Guam, the deviation does not play a significant role.

true, in Chinese sources said, that there are two versions - to destroy ground targets and surface. And anti-ship missile control system can be significantly different. properly, it should be a, as ground targets fixed, and the ship since the missile launch may take a considerable distance from their starting positions. It is especially difficult to implement "the hunt for carriers" using ballistic missile.

However, such an experience in China already exists. Furthermore, there are already concrete missile - DF-21D. The world's first and so far the only anti-ship ballistic missile. She is the "killer of aircraft carriers'. And so it is not dubbed Chinese, and American experts, osoznayuschye hromadnuyu threats, which comes from the anti-ship "Eastern wind".

Range DF-21D - 1500 km. In this connection, US ships have to stay away from the Taiwan Strait. Rocket develops huge hypersonic speed - about 10 M. This is achieved by a high ballistic trajectory and rapid acceleration in the downward leg. On the Means of masking and noise immunity is not known. However, it can be assumed, that these qualities have rocket - Chinese began to build a fifth-generation fighter aircraft for stealth technology, so that the necessary engineering solutions have been implemented in the "aircraft carrier killer".

Missile length - 10-12 meters, diameter - 1,5 m. Starting weight - 14-16 tons. Minimum distance defeat missile surface ships - 100 kilometers.

Chinese RCC control system includes three channels. First of all, This inertial guidance on target, used in the early phases of flight. There is also a channel for receiving signals from satellites. AND, finally, at the final stage, when the warhead separates from the rocket, starts homing. Its type is not known. But it can be assumed, she active radar.

By building infrastructure, which would serve not only the DF-21D, but also promising anti-ship missiles, China came in extremely thoroughly. From the middle of zero years there was a constant build-up of the network "Yaogan" satellites, which controls the world's oceans. The network consists of radar and optical-electronic devices, as well as electronic intelligence satellites. The network detects threats, It tracks the movement of enemy ships and leads them anti-ship missiles.

there is evidence, antiship modification that DF-26 - a further development of the DF-21D line. So that, may be, she pierces through the carrier, that almost two-ton warhead is quite real.

There are Russian and anti-ship missiles, which can be taken in the "aircraft carrier killer club". First of all, then you need to say about the cruise missiles X-32, which was a modification of obsolete X-22. Was significantly enhanced immunity missiles, and now she is not afraid of the enemy's electronic warfare systems. flight range increased to 1000 km. It means, that rocket carrier - strategic bomber Tu-22M3 - can fire carrier battle group (AUG), from outside its zone defense.

After the start of X-32 is lifted to a height of 40 km and performs horizontal maneuvering flight. In this mode, the rocket is safe. Since the most advanced missile RIM-174 SM-6 ERAM, installed on destroyers "Arleigh Burke" in the missile defense system "Aegis", the maximum height of the interception only 33 km. Besides SM-6 can intercept aerodynamic targets, which does not exceed the speed 800 m / s. And in the H-32 - 1500 m / s. In addition, the interception is complicated by the, that the rocket is actively maneuvering on the rate and pitch.

GSN-X 32 captures the target - destroyer or carrier, I am from it at a distance of 200-300 km. At the finish portion rocket reaches the speed 4,6 And M is substantially vertically on the target dives. It is estimated, that the probability of intercepting Russian anti-ship missile Kh-32 missile antimissile ship "Aegis" system does not exceed 0.05-0.08. This is the case, if the missile interceptors targeting issues runs her ship. In the case of targeting from another ship or aircraft AWACS probability is even lower - 0.01-0.02. It should be taken into account, that the attack on the AUG perform not one rocket. The squadron of 12 Tu-22M3 missile strike out from the US Navy's entire carrier strike groups.

American naval missile defense system is less able to withstand hypersonic missiles. To be more precise - absolutely incapable. This class "neberuschimsya" weapon is missile Kh-47m2 "Dagger", a carrier which is interceptor MIG-31K. Its speed reaches 10 M. rocket universal, capable of destroying targets on land, and sea. Currently works on equipping the "Dagger" Tu-22M3.

On the approach and perspective RCC 3M22 "Zircon", developed in Reutov near Moscow NGO Engineering. Tests rocket completed, and it will be put into service this year or next year. Its speed reaches 8 M. Range, According to various sources, ranges from 500 km to 1000 km. Rockets "Zircon" is scheduled to be installed on heavy nuclear missile cruiser "Pyotr Veliky" and "Admiral Nakhimov" and on the impact of nuclear submarine "Ash-M". It is also expected to equip prospective missile nuclear submarine next generation "Husky", which is currently under development.
