U.S. Navy "military magazine" Evaluation of the Chinese Navy sent air defense missiles down: we all know, the Navy is the Navy's fleet air defense combat system in a part of the main Communist Navy ships currently equipped with most of the red sea as a fleet of seven Air Missile rising star. Have seen the world, the CCP Jiang Wei I-red -61 frigates equipped with anti-aircraft missiles early, due to the small number of bulky Beidan, only equipped with four. Jiang Wei was the sea level are all equipped with red seven, including the main destroyer is equipped with the sea of ​​red seven missiles. Although the facelift of the technology than the "Red Flag -61" advanced generation of the "Red Flag -7" missiles, the CCP has a higher short-range naval missile defense capability, but the whole point is still a single-ship air-defense areas. Chinese people can feel to this point is incredible, It is reported that China has not been in this respect Russia's help, able to develop their own air defense system Unai proved China is a mysterious oriental dragon.

"Red Flag" 61 and "Red Sea" 7 is the Chinese Communist Navy missile short-range air defense missiles with a large ship, the "Red Flag" 61 systems is gradually being too heavy, "Red Sea" 7 missiles instead. "Red Sea" 7 is a very effective short-range low-altitude point defense missiles, according to the Department of Navy operational evaluation, the performance less than RIM-7 "Sea Sparrow" missile. "Red Sea" 7 early part of infrared emission angle, into the missile guidance antenna beam. Most of the CPC Navy destroyers and frigates equipped with the "Red Sea" 7 missile systems, and made with the automatic gun system that can form in the 14 km range anti-aircraft barrage closely. "Red Sea" 7 missile intercept low-altitude target accuracy and performance is very good, more than Russia's "Wasp" and "cutting edge" system, but because there is no vertical launch, resulting in 051,051 C, 052A 053H3 destroyers and frigates fire on lack of system channel, so to deal with multi-direction and multi-target capability is slightly lacking. Mainly taken the CPC Navy fleet air defense operations, the lack of single-ship air cover seldom-depth waters, so this lack of coordination through multi-ship to make up for the new frigates being built in dealing with multi-directional and multi-objectives have been greatly improved .

61 red flag for a limited range of ship to air missile, carries out air defense operations, the ship for the entire fleet to provide air missile firepower in the fleet of ships generally central location, and fire anti-ship air boundaries of small ships, air strikes were threatened in the axis configuration and anti-fire boundaries overlap Ge Jian, constitute strict fire resistance in the blue band. This configuration is thought mainly to ship to air missile fire fighting, guns were intercepted through the target ship to air missile fire. However, the CCP Red 61 Navy missile range 10 to 13 kilometers, making the cover of the range is too small. Formation of all the ships to be placed within the radius of the missile shield, and keep the air defense formation interval, the entire formation is not more than three ships.

This tissue-to-air fire, formation of tissue up to 5-to-air interception around the goal.

Electronic equipment technology and performance leap of progress, which gave the Communists the Navy fleet air defense capability has been greatly improved. Early in the design of 053K. Air defense frigate, the Chinese Communists managed to research efforts to improve the ship radar and fire control system technology to make it at or near the western end of 60 years of water almost similar systems. However, the lack of basic research and technical reserves, resulting in all aspects of the new system, gaps in the basic theory needs to celecoxib hand. This resulted in continued delays in the progress to study the process of winding the past 20 years. Communist China is not just for this evaluation that the delay is one-sided pursuit of items in a pile of adverse consequences of new technologies. Despite such efforts in a very long time without significant progress, but the culture of a large number of technical staff, and the accumulation of achievements and experience, which gave the Communists in a very short time to digest the introduction of the European system. This is the 053K maximum harvest early in the project work.

80 l vessels improved the late-type 109, 051, "Kaifeng" destroyer, all installed in France, "Sea Cobra" 8M ship to air missile system, and 37 meters 76A-type gun. 630 before the introduction of the system. The lack of recent anti-Communist Navy systems. 37 mm gun as the main short-range defense. The anti-gun firing mode of the late 60s by Italy's double hit system. Screen with 381 or 518 meters, the universe of alternative coordinate two standard 515 or 517 of the radar. This makes the Chinese Communists won the semi-active radar, the Navy ship to air short range missiles, and command guidance of the "Sea Cobra," the two types of short-range ship-air missile systems experience. In contrast, the French system is more reliable and convenient. 053I-13 in service in 1991 when the equipment is already more mature red 61A Ship to Air missiles, and the PRC navy, and not. Because the missiles did not use folding wing, causing launcher is too large, not only the launcher-mounted only 6 rounds, and difficult to arrange in the frigate and the mechanization of loading ammunition depot spare devices. The imitation of the French "Sea Cobra," the system can not only reach 8-mounted, and can the same model and the displacement of the frigate dagger layout and filling equipment, spare ammunition depot. 61A with the red flag of a frigate is likely to be due to start 05 3t {3 program earlier than the introduction of "Sea Cobra", and 052 after the introduction of the construction of destroyer, so installation is the "Sea Cobra" system.

052A 1991 destroyer in service installed L-band 518 (REL-2) long-range air surveillance radar, which is developed by the Air Force long-range air warning radar to guide the development of the ship based on the use of models, the cosecant square antenna Ideal for the high-altitude target detection. L-band is the United States the title of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, L-band in the UHF band by the International Telecommunication Union's high-end, precision and resolution are much higher than the low-end work on the 515 and 517 UHF radar antenna size is too large drawback is caused Drag very large, so installed 052 REL-2 radar destroyer always feel bad stability. The idea that, 052A destroyers can be used as guide ocean-going ships to use, the REL-2 radar, is not only sufficient for the formation of long-range early-warning group, but also in the South China Sea, Western Pacific and Indian Ocean activities, the combat aircraft guidance. 052A destroyer itself there is another set of sea and low-altitude search radar, installed 112 of them French, "Sea Tiger" on the sea at low altitude search radar, while the same model 113 installation of similar home-made destroyer is 360 radar. 360-363 radar and improved models are also installed in some 051 large number of destroyers and guided missile frigates 053H3 replace the old 354 radar. 052A destroyers 051 destroyers follow the sea at high altitude radar and detection of low-altitude radar system to match, but the system has been a leap in quality improvement, particularly in 052A for the first time operational command center equipped with sufficient command of the entire Jianqun ocean-going mission.

052A destroyers equipped with the short-range air defense missile for the first time, this need for short-range and low-altitude missile target designation, and 354 in the early sea search radar can not meet the requirements, so devoted after the installation of the mast with the "Red Sea" 7 matching 347S-type low-altitude target acquisition radar, the radar target at low altitude and sea-skimming flight on a small target detection accuracy and sensitivity is very good. 347S more sense radar missile sub-systems are, but the 052A integrated synthesis of the information system can detect all the sensors data.

And 052A destroyers built at the same time is 053H3 frigate. 053H3 early with a "red flag" 61 "air defense missile, and later began modified" Red Sea "7 missiles. 053H3-air search radar with 517 and 360 long-range early warning radar at low altitude search radar sea matched to two radars were transfer in high-altitude air defense missile system and the low altitude targets. 517 radar accuracy is not high, "Red Sea" -7 guidance radar system 517 may also wish to pay over the altitude of radar targets in pre-search before entering the track, and 360 high precision radar , so you can quickly enter the low-altitude target tracking.

The late 90s in service are common 051C destroyer destroyer, the radar system configuration has been simplified relative to 052A, with 517 long-range early warning radars, air search radar, a 381, while low-level probe is used for sea radar, improved from 360 to 363 radar in such a short range with a focus on improving the capability and accuracy of space exploration, which the Navy destroyer is only seeking to optimize the CPC general destroyers attempt.

In the 21st century of service with the Chinese Communist Navy's new destroyer fleet air defense is also raised to a new level, 136 and 137 of the Yin Jin gave the Communists the first time the Navy has a fleet of regional air defense capabilities. The Communist country's shipyards is news of success, the majority of fans have not been a military build 052B destroyer in the excitement calmed down, another two with similar "Aegis" system of air defense destroyers and two new stealth frigates have been water, this four-ship, later to become the major media attention 052C air defense destroyers and 054 stealth frigates. 052B with the Russian SA-N-7 "Shiji Li" air defense missile systems, 052C using the vertical launch of the "Red Sea" 9 as their primary air defense weapon, and 054 continue to use the "Red Sea" 7 shipborne air defense missile system. Through the new warship equipped with air defense systems, we can see the PRC Navy has completed far, the short-range anti-aircraft fire configuration, shipboard anti-air defense weapons can reach 90 km in depth.

Communist China has never before been publicly Red Sea intercepted seven live video. However, beginning in 2003, seven red flag a lot of equipment of the PLA ground forces, such as the Beijing Military Region air defense brigade, Red China's official press said seven cruise missile shot hits the target, which has caused the Chinese Communists users never miss the authenticity of the hot line. A large number of columns from the red seven red seven showed improved loaded successfully, a substantial technological breakthrough, as the CPC is currently field the main air defense and fleet air defense. In the video shows a high-speed sea-skimming missiles, by the sea after hitting the red seven remained along for some distance by inertia into the sea before. Journal of the official military had publicly a sea of ​​red side interceptors seven photographs show seven red Communist Navy interception capability of considerable self-confidence, not only head-on interception, but also side to intercept, block not only distance, but also in within a very short distance to intercept missiles accurately.

Beijing appears to Navy does have short-range anti-missile capability of the preliminary, though not yet effective against red sea seven saturation attack, but the PRC Navy relies on its latest data link system can take advantage of the entire fleet saturation attack against the sea, in the currently known The low intensity conflict at sea, naval show confidence CPC intercept any incoming missile. As for the 054A and 052C of the vertical hair-air missile ship, the Navy gave the Communists can respond to any large-scale high-intensity saturation attack at sea. Nine Red Sea to the Chinese Communists Navy maritime area air defense and missile defense capabilities.

Of course, compared with the vertical launch system, "Red Sea" 7 launcher does not have the biggest drawback is that the fan 180 degrees after the interception of incoming targets, but it can be balanced for the scope of 180 degrees to intercept incoming targets speed and not slow. "Red Sea" 7 prototype "Sea Cobra" There was a sea-skimming flight altitude will be only 5 meters record of successfully intercepting the target, and our latest Improved Sea Sparrow to reach such a level. Not currently in shape before the new missile, "Red Sea" 7 or the PRC Navy to select the best performance of short-range air defense weapon system.
