Beagle air defense missile is the first generation of eagle's surface defense ship to air missile system. It is the first ship to air missile system equipped by eagle's navy and has all-weather, medium range and low altitude air defense capability. It was originally coded as sam-n-7 and later changed to rim-2. It is collectively known as the "three T" missile system of the United States together with "brass Knight" and "Tatar".

After talking for a long time, this is a ship to air missile system with all-weather, medium range and medium and low altitude air defense capability, which is mainly used to defend all kinds of aircraft from medium and low altitude attacks.

The Beagle air defense missile adopts radar beam guidance, and the combat is continuous rod killing type. The maximum range is 16 km, the maximum combat altitude is 12 km, the maximum flight speed is 2.5 times the sound speed, the full missile length is 8.23 meters, the missile diameter of the second stage is 0.34 meters, the first stage is 0.40 meters, and the full missile mass is 1360 kg.

For the present Chinese Navy, this thing does not seem to be backward, because the Chinese navy has nothing now. It seems good to have an air defense missile.

However, Qin Guan certainly can't satisfy. The standard anti-aircraft missile equipped with Kidd class destroyers has a range of more than 40 kilometers, which means that if the first interception fails, it can intercept again. However, for the Beagle, once the first interception fails, there will be no second time, and the warship will be hit.

Han needs not only air defense missiles, but also regional air defense missiles. Now this short-range air defense missile technology is not very attractive to Han.

It is no wonder that in terms of arms export, the eagle people did not object this time and directly exported them.

The original buyer, Sabbath, can no longer be accepted. If the eagle Navy doesn't like it, it can only be exported. The Han country can now use gold for settlement, which is of course the best.

Will it cause high-precision technology leakage? Of course, it is impossible. Our side does not intend to export standard missiles. Anyway, the dual mounted launcher can launch both standard missiles and beagle missiles.

As for anti-ship missiles, this warship was not intended to be installed when it was exported to the sabbath, which was installed only after the eagle Navy equipped itself

What else can this large ship with a displacement of nearly 10000 tons have?

In terms of air defense firepower, without standard missiles, it is like without shields. At the same time, it has not been equipped with harpoon anti-ship missiles, the most common harpoon anti-ship missiles of the eagle Navy. Therefore, it can not perform anti-ship tasks, and there is no sharp sword.

It can be said that the function is almost castrated.

The only thing that can be said is anti submarine. Yes, the Chinese Navy came to look for it in the world arms market because of its insufficient anti submarine ability.

In fact, the eagle Navy does not know that what the Han Navy needs most is air defense capability. By constantly investigating Niu's 42 destroyers, it is interested in each other's sea javelin system.

However, both the sea mark gun missile and our own brass Knight missile belong to the first generation of air defense missiles. Our own standard missiles are a new generation and are absolutely non exportable models.

Now, looking at the excitement of the Chinese Navy, it seems that they are looking forward to the new ship, which is extremely urgent, and General Thomas has increased his confidence.

Qin Guan's brain was spinning rapidly, and he was also thinking about his own countermeasures.

Standard missiles are the most urgent need of our side, which can make our side leap to the world advanced level at once. However, it is not easy for the eagle people to give our own missiles.

How can you fool each other?

Suddenly, when Qin Guan thought of something, he was immediately full of confidence and said to Thomas and others: "this double mounted launcher is too backward. After we import it, we must improve it."

Now, almost all air defense missiles are equipped with dual launchers, just like a gantry crane. Two missiles stay on the launchers, which can rotate back and forth to launch missiles at any time.

Of course, there are not only two missiles in the missile inventory on the warship, but also a special missile Library under the missile launcher. After the missile is launched, it can be loaded automatically, and the interval is not long.

However, in any case, reloading after launch must be a waste of time. In this case, it is not as good as a professional vertical launch system.

Thomas was stunned when he heard Qin Guan's words. These Han people actually said that their warships were not advanced enough?

"For our warships, the biggest threat is anti-ship missiles. Today's anti-ship missiles can be launched from aircraft, surface ships and submarines, and can carry out all-round and multi batch saturation attacks. A large surface ship can be attacked by at least six anti-ship missiles from all directions in less than 30s."

Qin Guan began to give data, not to mention the performance of the Beagle missile. Even if it can stop, how many can it stop?

"In the face of this threat, as far as the missile defense weapon launch system is concerned, it must have very short response time, high launch rate, sufficient ammunition reserve and all-round launch capability without ship maneuvering or aiming by launcher." Qin Guan said: "For the traditional rotary aiming launch system, the combat response time is too long, and in terms of ammunition storage, it can not meet the requirements for the powerful firepower of cash anti-ship missiles."

Qin Guan's guidance seems to be the most advanced technology owner of this era, but in fact, the Han Navy is lagging behind only brigade level to support the facade, and even Xiong's nuclear submarine can't be stopped.

"Mr. Qin, do you mean the vertical launch system?" Thomas couldn't help asking. The old general has served in the eagle Navy for decades. What hasn't he experienced? He knew at once what Qin Guan wanted to say.

Of course, dual missile launchers can not cope with the increasingly complex threat of anti-ship missiles in the world. Only by developing a vertical launch system can they meet the demand.

Missile launchers are used to launch missiles by hanging them, that is, two at a time. The vertical launch system is like a water well, which directly puts the missiles in it, so they can be launched directly. There are as many launch wells as there are missiles. It does not need any complex mechanical steps, and all missiles can be fired at any time.

Of course, the eagle Navy knows that this vertical launch system is the most convenient and appropriate. Only it can be combined with the Aegis system using phased array radar to give full play to its power. However, it is not so easy for them to get it out.
