On November 21, 2016, Admiral Yin Zhuo said in an interview with domestic media, "Liaoning" already combat-combat platforms, but the carrier number and number of carrier aircraft pilot is still substandard. On December 14, the CCTV report said that recently "Liaoning" in the military live-fire drills for the first time in the Bohai Sea.
"Liaoning" military live-fire exercises, most of the information is confidential, but through a limited number of words and pictures, we can still see "Liaoning", existing uses and strength.
Press release implies large amounts of information
The Xinhua release said recently, the continuous organization of the Navy aircraft carrier fleet conducted live-fire exercises, air to air and air to ship, ship anti-ship drills such as subjects, in the Bohai Sea airspace is great. Participating troops mainly from aircraft carrier fleet and Beihai fleet, there were many ships and dozens of aircraft participated. After the exercise began, pioneered the launch of AWACS early warning detection against naval targets, and quickly completed and the naval fleet command post network build chain. More f-15 warplanes mounted a new air-to-air missile, lifted off from the Liaoning ski-jump, to intercept the attacking aircraft. Meanwhile, more responsible before the guided-missile destroyer and frigate fleet air defense identification and the sea search. Then, take to the sea assault task more f-15 warplanes mounted new air to ship missile took off from Liaoning in turn, set sail in the sky, implementing horizontal tactics. After a few minutes, formations found, under the command of the naval fleet command post, f-15 fighter pilot launching air-to-air and air-to-ship missiles, respectively, successfully destroying the target. "
Contains a lot of information in a short text. First of all shipboard AEW presence, although the statement did not specify which one early warning aircraft, but combined with the pictures of the past and in fact, DC-18 early warning-developed by China were more likely. Because DC-18 series (including anti-submarine, General and early warning type) is the most in recent years, Liaoning's "regulars", saw little in the early introduction of the card-31. Secondly, shipboard units attack waves on the sea, air and anti-ship attacks. Carrier carrier is usually caused by a wave of combat units, a single aircraft carrier missions (air defense patrols) is rare. First launch is to take the remote to the f-15 combat missions, flying air combat for all f-15 aircraft carrier after charged attack on the ship mission of f-15 carry YJ-83K (Eagles 83) anti-ship missile took off from Liaoning's third point (195 meters running track) takes off, forming anti-ship attack wave. These two f-15 attack wave (total of probably 8 or 10), the combat against aerial targets and target, respectively.
Anti-ship capability of carrier carrier initial public
Author has been very concerned about the f- -15 anti-ship capability. Anti-ship is one of the most important tasks of shipborne fighters, if the Chinese Navy to capture sea, air, has powerful anti-ship capability will be required, during the war against enemy air defense and the necessary damage in anti-ship goals.
Carrying anti-ship missiles the f- -15 is the first public
Pictured above is the 111th carrier aircraft to take off photos. Below the carrier on the right carries a YJ-83K anti-ship missile. Video capture of other judgments, the 111th fighter-15 may carry two YJ-83K anti-ship missiles. Because carrying large anti-ship weapons, fighters took off from third -15 must take off points. Due to the take off point is located in the middle of the landing area, took off once the implementation of carrier aircraft flying missions, an aircraft carrier landing operations must stop.
111th carrier landing photos
We can note that the YJ-83K had disappeared, 111th, carrier aircraft has completed the launch of YJ-83K. According to carrier aircraft shadow lengths change (if carrier heading the same), the f-15 test was completed shortly after taking off and landing, this agreement with the release of time in. 111th carrier should belong to the light load to take off (not playing up).
The author presumably, this anti-ship missile live-fire military exercises in the launch is mainly to verify YJ-83K and carrier combination, and fixed/mobile combat capability at sea, inspection focuses on anti-ship missile themselves. Generally speaking, carrier-borne fighter jet took off on the ship attack is a sudden task only after initial recognition the target location and threat level, carrier aircraft can carry anti-ship missiles took off. In the low-threat areas, patrol the carrier aircraft do not carry anti-ship missiles, was targeted near the aircraft carrier combat group outside the scope of early warning, carrier aircraft flying without more time to reach the launch position, light oil is so f-15 taking off is not unexpected.
But in actual combat, is targeting the General electromagnetic interference, the situation is more complex, required for carrier air time may be longer. More important is, "Liaoning" aboard the aircraft carrier in the implementation of anti-ship task, takeoff takes an aircraft carrier landing area, resulting in aircraft carrier landing operations must stop, this wartime aircraft carrier deck schedule put forward higher requirements for the job. According to the "Admiral Kuznetsov" experience, from 195 m yibosu deck-33 requires at least 30 minutes of flying time, so the sudden attack on the ship was to schedule important tests the ability of the carrier deck.
CCTV video news reports showed that at least three f-15 carry YJ-83K, respectively, is the 106th, 108 and 111th carrier. This is in keeping with anti-ship tasks generally need, namely a wave (3-4) cluster of combat.
Preliminary study of aircraft carrier combat group anti-ship combat radius Traffic police were referred to the police Man
Combined with still pictures and video, we can confirm is that the f-15 carrying two YJ-83K launched the anti-ship missile took off from third point is no problem. Although bomb-carrying amount is less than the Navy's ground-based air force "f-h -7A", but the benefits from more advanced fire control system and carrier performance, j- -15 in combat effectiveness does not carry anti-ship tasks than the flying Leopard. If the four f-15 anti-ship attack waves, then 8 antiship missiles are able to pose major threat to us aircraft carrier strike group. But from the 111th time point analysis of carrier aircraft carrier and anti-ship drills for a short period, no test f- -15 in the limited combat radius of the two YJ-83K under load.
108th carrier left hanging under a YJ-83K anti-ship missile
Public information, single YJ-83K weighs about 1 ton. The sea attack mounted by the General configuration, typical of a f-15 long-range anti-ship attack, will carry two YJ-83K and two missile for self-defense, total weight about 3 tons. "Admiral Kuznetsov", equipped with the Su-33 test data show that took off from the 195-meter third take off, limit takeoff weight of the Su-33 29 tons (because of similar engines and aerodynamic design, j- -15 values should be close to this), deduction fighter aircraft empty weight of 18.8 tons, 3 tons of weapons, about 7.2 tons of fuel remaining space. And 7.2 tonnes of fuel to make the f- -15 has a number of large radius of action? Related data has yet to open because the f- -15, Su-33, it is necessary to follow here for reference. Su-33 fuel loads and combat radius of more reliable data is that the Su-33 basic fuel load was 5.7 tonnes, in the case of external 6.5 tons, combat radius of 768-kilometer (about 450 nautical miles). The empty weight of the Su-33 is 18.8 tons. However, considering adding the three had reached the sum of 31 tons, exceeds the limits of ski-jump takeoff 29 tons, in actual combat, therefore will not be allowed. Integrated network "passed" message, j- -15 weight about 1 ton (17.8-18.5 tonnes). According to 195 meters sliding distance, 29 tonnes of maximum take off limits, j -15 's ultimate configuration should be 19 tons (containing six Rack's weight) with machine oil (5.7 tons) + two anti-ship missiles (2 tonnes) + 4 close combat flares (1 ton) take off operations. In this mode, the fighter combat radius of -15 should be able to more than 400 nautical miles, nearly 500 nautical miles.
However, there are two important factors to consider. One is the wind over the deck. Influence of wind for the plane's takeoff weight of the deck is very large, if an aircraft carrier traveling at 30 knots at full speed, j- -15 would be able to take significant additional takeoff weight. Second, the flight profile. Anti-ship flight mode, the fighter will use "low-high-low" flight profile. Due to the long low-altitude flight will increase resistance, therefore this mode of flight of fighter combat radius of -15 will be reduced accordingly. Here, the aircraft carrier sailing at full speed only through body weight and to get additional 1 ton weight to load fuel, so as to protect the f- -15 has a longer cruising time. Therefore, even in the most adverse circumstances, j- -15 in a typical anti-ship model (machine oil added 2 YJ-83K 2 close combat flares, a takeoff weight of less than 27 tons), still able to achieve combat radius of around 400 nautical miles, although this distance is beyond the scope of aircraft carrier combat group's own early warning. In addition, since very few f-15 to 29 tons of take off weight limit, so typical for ship attack pattern takes off the f- -15 still has some room for flexible configuration.
Revert to YJ-83K range. YJ-83 series design will consider the beginning stand-off attacks of the enemy. Integrated digital figures as well as published on the network, YJ-83K range should be not less than 250 kilometers (155 miles). Fighter combat radius of the -15 and YJ-83K range, mean I'm anti-ship carrier battle group from at or close to 600 nautical miles.
F -15 this indicator was encouraging, but the numbers we have seen, since there is no fixed-wing airborne early warning, China's aircraft carrier away from the shore base air force auxiliary, in "play but you do not see the" dilemma. Due to landing mode restrictions, and f-15 aircraft carrier are not normally "patrols targeting" can only be found in the formation of the water target, then dispatched f-15 attack on it. While in high threat areas, if you are using -15 cluster against the destroyer patrol, fighter combat radius of -15 will be greatly shortened, the obvious shortage in the number of f- -15.
Russian aircraft carrier design there is no rationality?
Here, we'll look back when "Admiral Kuznetsov" was installed on the SS-N-19 "granite" anti-ship missiles. This design is criticized in the country at that time that its waste unnecessary suspicion--now that we have the carrier aircraft carrier, why do we have to carry 12 heavy anti-ship missiles?
In fact, if Su-33 Scout ahead in single Recon mode, about 500 nautical miles of the location found their ships using carrier aircraft takes off at this time, from preparation of 8 armed with anti-ship weapons flying Su-33 to these 2 Su-33 (4 form a wave 2 wave) at least 30 minutes. In addition, the two flew Su-33 launch of wave front and Center again in 20-30 minutes time, the total time for as long as 1 hour, which in practice is a huge waste and hazards. If directly attacked by the SS-N-19, and only takes about 10 minutes of flight time to achieve the first round attack on enemy ships, not to mention the SS-N-19 750 kg high explosive warhead carried by the power of far more than a wave of the Su-33 can carry anti-ship weapon power.
Therefore, in the absence of the premise of fixed-wing aircraft, replaced by supersonic long-range anti-ship missile carrier-borne fighter as the first wave of strike force, is a very real Soviet aircraft carrier designers and smart choice. Chinese carrier due to j -15 's distance to sea combat capabilities (Su-33 do not have this capability), and integrating the aircraft carrier aircraft carrier strike group, and long-range anti-ship tasks can be shared again inside the aircraft carrier strike group, which carriers freeing up valuable time and space.
This figure clearly shows the SS-N-19 occupied by the anti-ship missiles "Admiral Kuznetsov" aircraft carrier of precious flight deck and hangar. Once the missile launch-ready state, carrier planes taking off and landing operations must be stopped.
