Cold launch is to eject the missiles and ignite them in the air by compressed air power, so that there is no need to engage in complicated devices. Then, why are the Eagles still studying hot launches?

The main reason is that the reliability of cold launch is not as good as MK41. The missile is ejected first. If the missile does not ignite in the air, what will happen?

Falling down, hitting a warship, and then exploding?

In order to avoid this shortcoming, the cold launch silos are not vertical, they are inclined to both sides. After ejecting, if the ignition is not successful, under normal circumstances, it will fall into the sea.

At the same time, it has another reason.

The vertical launch system meets the needs of saturation attacks, but it is inconvenient to deal with close-range targets.

If it is a dual-mounted launcher, turn to the direction of the threat, and then launch the missile, while the vertical launch is first to hit the sky vertically, then turn, and dive down to deal with the close target. This turn The faster you turn, the stronger your reaction ability.

The thermal launch ignites in the silo, so theoretically speaking, if you leave the silo, you can use your own gas rudder to make vector turns. At this time, the speed is low and the efficiency of ordinary aerodynamic rudder surfaces is not high.

The cold launch will not work. Turning is not as fast as the hot launch. This is the second flaw.

Due to the high technical difficulty of thermal launching, when Han was first engaged in anti-aircraft warships, it proceeded step by step. The first one was cold launch. After continuous progress, the coexistence of cold and hot was developed. The stage of heat emission.

too difficult.

Now, when Qin Guan heard the other party's question, it was of course not polite. To fool the other party, he was definitely going to get home. "Of course it is a thermal launch." Qin Guan said: "The vertical launch device we designed has independent exhaust and heat removal systems for each missile launch. The launch of any missile will not affect other missiles. It can launch multiple missiles at the same time. After launching, the missiles can be turned quickly and have good safety. In addition, it has a long service life and simple maintenance. It has good versatility and can be loaded with air-to-air missiles, land-to-land missiles, and anti-submarine missiles. Anti-ship missiles are also easy to load."

Qin Guan said it was eloquent: "As long as it meets the standards of our missile silos, it can be mixed and loaded. In addition to launching ship-to-air missiles, other missiles can also be launched."

Hearing Qin Guan's words, General Thomas didn't believe it anyway: "You mean, even anti-ship missiles can be launched? How do you mix and reload the various missiles with different diameters?"

Different missiles have different sizes. Now even the Eagle State only wants to implement the loading of standard missiles. The Xiong State warships are of different designs and are used exclusively. Qin Guan said that mixed loading seems to be a boast. Haikou is too big. "As long as the length and height do not exceed our design."

Qin Guan said: "The cartridge we designed has a maximum outer diameter of 850 mm. The concentric cylinder technology is required for thermal launch. The space between the inner and outer cylinders is used as a gas channel. The maximum diameter of the inner cylinder is 680 mm. We can all fit it in if it's smaller than this. At the same time, if it's very small, we can also use the technology of one hole and four bombs. Air defense missiles with a diameter of less than 340 mm can be stuffed in."

One pit with four bombs is also an advanced technology and an advanced concept in later generations. If a small missile is stuffed into a large silo, it will be wasted. In addition to stuffing four small missiles, you can also mix them. One larger one and two smaller ones greatly improve utilization efficiency.

When talking about this, General Thomas was finally tempted: "Can we put our standard missiles in?"

What they need most is to first create a silo that can be used by standard missiles. If they can do it now, their Ticonderoga class can be launched directly.

"Why should we consider standard missiles? We are not equipped with such missiles." Qin Guan said, "Go, let's visit other places."

Feeling lustful, Qin Guan knew that when he went to fool him, maybe he would show his feet, he would need to go to the cemetery again, look for the design drawings of the MK41 system, and secretly leak part of it to the eagle. Chinese people, when the time comes, they are not afraid that they will not be hooked.

If you want your own technology, you can trade a standard missile!

When talking about this, Qin Guan was also tempted. If the Kidd-class surgery is performed and the vertical launcher is inserted in the front and back, it will be fine.

Qin Guan left the missile launcher and continued to walk towards the rear of the warship, passed through the passage, and came to the rear.

Behind the bridge is the helicopter landing deck, and in front is the hangar. As a 10,000-ton warship, the Kidd class can carry two anti-submarine helicopters, which is also its main anti-submarine helicopter.

"What we value most is the anti-submarine capability. If we can introduce this kind of warship, we hope to introduce the most advanced anti-submarine helicopter." General Zhao said, he also knows what he lacks: "Please don't use the Sea King helicopter to fool you. We, we want the most advanced Seahawk helicopter."

The SH-60 Seahawk is a modification of the UH-60 Black Hawk. It has the same appearance and dimensions as the UH-60 general-purpose helicopter. The parts have a commonality of 83%. It can be deployed on aircraft carriers, destroyers, frigates, amphibious ships, etc. with aviation operation decks. On a navy ship.

Compared with the UH-60 Black Hawk, the SH-60 Sea Hawk marine operation fuselage has undergone anti-corrosion treatment and added floating components. Add recovery assist, lock and traverse system for landing on frigates and other small surface ships in high sea conditions. Added automatic folding rotor, rotor brake, folding flat tail and vertical tail. The flat tail of SH-60B is special, it is square instead of UH-60 trapezoid, and it can be folded up and placed on both sides of the vertical tail.

The Han country wants the best. Now, if you want to buy warships, you can discuss the issue of supporting anti-submarine helicopters. This time, they raised it again.

General Thomas frowned. According to regulations, this type of helicopter cannot be exported. If you export too much to Han, I am afraid that some people in the Congress will oppose it, and eventually even warships will not be exported.

"If you find it difficult, how about we use civilian exports as an excuse?" Qin saw the other's hesitation and immediately offered a plan.

Anyway, we are discussing the import of Black Hawk in the name of civilian use, so our side will import it in civilian terms, and then add parts and modify it.

General Thomas nodded: "When we sign the agreement, we will discuss these separately."

After passing through the hangar, there are missile launchers and naval guns behind, symmetrically arranged with the bow. From here, you can walk down and enter the Kidd-class engine room.
