As a powerful Ohio-class submarine, it carries 24 Trident missiles, which are all-solid, split-guided missiles. Each missile can have 7 to 12 warheads. If you count 8 warheads, 1 An Ohio-class submarine can carry 192 nuclear warheads and can theoretically attack 192 targets. In this way, as long as one Ohio-class submarine can knock the entire territory of a medium country back to the Stone Age in half an hour, it can completely paralyze a large country!
But now, in front of the space laser cannon overhead, how many American ballistic missiles can be effective is unknown! When the Soviets occupied Alaska, as a result, the ballistic missile positions in Alaska did not play any role!
However, submarine-launched missiles still have advantages, otherwise, the Soviet nuclear submarines will not kill the Ohio class of the United States all over the world!
This once again reflects the role of the aircraft carrier. What does the aircraft carrier do? A very important task is to **** the underwater nuclear submarine! For example, is Huaxia's Liaoning aircraft carrier designed to carry carrier-based aircraft to attack a country or region and seize air supremacy?
no! The more important role of the Liaoning is to cruise in the South China Sea, so that it can cover the strategic missile nuclear submarine cruising in the South China Sea, so that this nuclear submarine can launch nuclear bombs calmly!
At the beginning, when the Soviet Union built the Moscow-class and even the Kyiv-class, it was this mission!
In the past, the United States did not seem to have urgent requirements in this regard, because the United States held the sea power in the world! But now, everything is different!
The aircraft carrier of the United States can no longer leave the port. In front of the supersonic anti-ship missiles of the Soviets, as long as they leave the port, it will definitely be the end of destruction!
If the aircraft carrier cannot leave the port, it cannot **** the nuclear submarine. Therefore, the Soviet nuclear submarine began to strangle their missile nuclear submarine in an all-round way!
Only this Ohio class came out. If it shoots all the missiles to the Soviet Union, it will still bring some trouble to the Soviet Union, but now, they want to shoot the missiles at their own country and at Area 51?
why is that?
However, the correctness of the order cannot be doubted, and after a few seconds of contemplation, Captain Alexander finally gave the order: "According to the order of the Pentagon, change the target data of the nuclear bomb and prepare to enter the launch countdown."
In the Trident nuclear bomb, various target information of the Soviets has been stored in advance. From the distant Moscow to the nearest Far East, the data of each strategic target is available, but there is no US own.
Only a madman would throw a nuclear bomb on his country's head, right? However, the order is correct, it can only be said that Area 51 is facing serious challenges and the Soviets must have landed in Area 51! In order to ensure that the secrets of Area 51 are not leaked out, the superiors had to take this measure! This brutal measure is the only solution!
Change target data! Inside the huge nuclear submarine, the submariners were operating quickly, launching, and entering the countdown program as required!
If it is launched against a known target, the preparation time will be within ten minutes, and at the same time, nuclear bombs will be launched at a rate of one per minute to project all missiles, which only takes half an hour. Now, re-injecting the target data, an additional few minutes are required.
The sophisticated inertial navigation system is also positioning the submarine itself to determine the launch of Zhu Yuan. The captain and the deputy captain put the key into the launch pad. Everything is being prepared in an orderly manner.
"Raise the periscope!" Alexander stood in front of the periscope and put his eyes on it. Suddenly, he was overjoyed.
At this time, there is a thick layer of fog on the sea!
The Soviet laser cannons look awesome. In fact, they have some shortcomings. This thing is greatly affected by the weather, because, especially in heavy fog, the attenuation of the laser is quite severe! This also means that this launch of our own side is guaranteed!
In later generations, in the smoggy weather all over the country, everything is hazy. If there is a war at this time, all the laser-guided weapons in the United States will not be able to be used!
At this time, the distance from the sea is only 20 meters, which is the best launching depth of the Trident missile.
The speed of the submarine is only about 2 knots, everything is ready!
At the rear of the conning tower, the lids of the launch cylinders on top of the 24 missiles have been opened successively.
Under water, everything will become difficult. For example, at a depth of 20 meters, it needs to withstand 2 atmospheres of pressure. Therefore, it is very laborious to open the lid of the cylinder. It is necessary to pressurize the cylinder with high-pressure gas first, so that the pressure inside and outside the cylinder is roughly equal. After that, the lid can be easily opened.
On the opened cylinder cover, you can see a milky white watertight diaphragm, which is a sealing method to prevent a large amount of seawater from pouring into the missile launch cylinder when the cover is opened Launching missiles from underwater, technically It is very difficult. This is also until later generations. Only the five hooligans have submarine-launched nuclear bomb technology. As for Asan, hehe, this joke is very funny. The ballistic missile submarine that Asan started to build has gone through more than ten years. Year, as a result, it can be loaded with 12 k-15 missiles with a one-ton nuclear warhead and a range of 700 kilometers! Range of 700 kilometers! That's literally suicide range! Of course, the Indians have also developed the K-4 ballistic missile with a range of 3,500 kilometers, but this thing is still under design.
Aside from India, the other major nuclear submarine owners are the United States and the Soviet Union. The technologies of the two countries are also completely different.
Soviet nuclear submarines use thermal launch, especially for several liquid missiles, they use underwater ignition launch, which is characterized by launching in the launch tube, that is to say, huge missiles rely on their own power. The one that flew out directly represented the ss-n-23.
France is also underwater ignition and launch, but it is necessary to eject the launch tube and then ignite underwater, such as the m51 missile.
The United States, on the other hand, uses cold launch.
Now, with the firing order, the missile operator pushed the button.
"Bang!" The sound of high-pressure air was so crisp that it resounded through the entire nuclear submarine. At the moment of the ignition button, the electric squib detonated, igniting the gas generator, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gas generated was sprayed from the bottom of the launch tube into the tube, and the reaction force Under the push of , the heavy Trident missile drilled through the watertight diaphragm at the top, opened a wave of water, and sprinted towards it!
When it jumped open the watertight diaphragm, at the same time, the sea water was constantly pouring in, just enough to balance the center of gravity movement caused by the departure of the Trident missile.
