Missiles can hit fast-flying aircraft, but it is difficult to hit slow-flying aircraft carriers. What is the reason?

Some people are puzzled that our country's aircraft carrier has been launched. They think that we only need shore-based missiles to attack aircraft, especially our long-range missiles. You can attack aircraft carriers because they run slowly. In fact, this is not the case for three reasons: First, the early warning system of the aircraft carrier battle group is very powerful; One is that the aircraft carrier is a battle group, including destroyers defending against missiles and cruisers defending against attacks; One is that the aircraft carrier itself has strong defensive performance.

First of all, the importance of early warning system is self-evident.

Many people know about the aircraft carrier, but many people are not sure about the combat capability of the aircraft carrier battle group. An aircraft carrier battle group needs to be equipped with early warning aircraft and related systems. For example, the Reagan aircraft carrier battle group has an early warning aircraft, which is relatively advanced. It's an E2D early warning aircraft. This kind of early warning aircraft is equipped with an advanced early warning system, which can not only warn, but also handle alarm and counter-measures.

Some people say that this is fostering the ambitions of others and destroying their prestige. This is an objective fact, not to publicize the Excellence of others. Even if it is excellent, is it wrong to admit it? Recognizing the Excellence of early warning aircraft, we must learn from the strengths of others and improve our own level. What's the matter? We don't admit that others are excellent, which is a cover-up, which is not conducive to our development and to our analysis of the enemy's situation.

The strength of this early warning aircraft and the detection distance. Its radar detection range reaches 480 kilometers. That is to say, if the Reagan carrier battle group is off the coast of China, all missiles in our eastern theater can be within its detection range, which is very worrying and difficult for us to do. If you attack an aircraft carrier, you must first kill these early warning aircraft. If you can't get rid of the early warning aircraft, attacking the aircraft carrier is empty talk.

Some people say that you don't have to worry so much when you fight. We can directly launch 3000 missiles and directly attack their aircraft carriers. Even if the AWACS knows, what can we do? That means these people are just hot-headed and don't understand the rules of combat. Let's not say whether the installation and location of these missile launchers will be discovered by others, and if so, whether they will be pre-emptive. That the launch will be intercepted when we are in place? After the early warning aircraft, there are anti-aircraft destroyers and cruisers waiting.

Second, destroyers and cruisers are not vegetarians.

In the carrier battle group, there are destroyers specializing in air defense and cruisers attacking the ground. An aircraft carrier battle group has at least one or two cruisers, which are equipped with shield systems. The system has the advantages of fast response and strong anti-interference ability. The firepower of this system is also quite fierce, and it can analyze attacks from all directions and give priority to destroying the attacks that pose the greatest threat to itself. Some people say, besides this, what are the advantages?

There is also location, as long as the attack is captured, the location of the attack can be located and the target can be attacked at the same time. The Excellence of this system can be seen. Some people say that it is ok to destroy this system, which is forgetting the role of cruisers, which can not only defend air, but also attack the ground. The long-range missile equipped on the cruiser knew the location of the missile attack and carried out the attack.

The purpose of attacking each other is not to destroy themselves, so you need to hide yourself when attacking cruisers, but Aegis can find them. Unless thousands of missiles are born at a time and fly to the target. In addition to cruisers, there is also a destroyer squadron whose main task is air defense. They are on the periphery of the cruiser, helping the cruiser protect the aircraft carrier. American destroyers are equipped with Aegis combat system, which can effectively defend air.

Some people say that with so many missiles, can we defend ourselves? There are not many missiles that can break through the protection of destroyers and cruisers. Even if there is, the aircraft carrier itself has a strong air defense capability. There are fighters on the aircraft carrier. After launching, they can also destroy some missiles, not only destroying missiles, but also attacking positions, so that they can intercept missiles and destroy launching positions at the same time.

Third, the strength of the aircraft carrier itself is also strong.

Some people think that the aircraft carrier is just a single aircraft carrier in action. In fact, it is not. The carrier battle groups cooperate with each other to form a joint force and maximize the blow. For the carrier battle group, information sharing is a basic premise. But it is not easy to share all the information, unless it is the same system, common maintenance standards and the same protection level. To do this, you need to invest a lot of money to upgrade and maintain.

If a single aircraft carrier is hit, the protection capability of the aircraft carrier itself is still very strong. The first is the tonnage of the aircraft carrier itself and the thickness of the iron plate. About 40 mm is a very general and thick place, which can reach 65 mm It is generally a very important part, such as an ammunition depot. Think about the thickness of 6.5 cm and how powerful a warhead is needed to penetrate. If it breaks through, it will be a great blow to the aircraft carrier.

Some people say that this thickness is easy to penetrate for ordinary missiles. However, the protective capability of an aircraft carrier cannot be sunk by a bomb. After all, the carrier's ammunition depot, I don't know where it is, and it is not so easy to break through the peripheral defense. During World War II, the US military and Japan fought a naval battle in Midway Island. With such a strong impact, only five aircraft carriers (US 1 ship and Japanese 4) were sunk.
