32-shot dagger and cross sword, Chinese version
In 1991, the Soviet Union narrowly survived the crisis of disintegration, but the United States was not satisfied with the weakness of the Soviet Union. I hope that the Soviet Union will be completely broken into pieces, preferably to the point of being broken into pieces. The Soviet Union, which knew that it was no longer able to independently compete with the United States, also knew very well that the Soviet Union could no longer fight alone.
In the Soviet strategic conception of the Cold War 2.0 era, China was of vital importance. Before China was ready, the Soviet Union had decided to regard China as the Soviet Union's most important ally. In order to deepen bilateral relations, the Soviet Union sold 3 batches of 6 modern-class guided missile destroyers and Type 1143.62 aircraft carriers to China at cost prices or even loss prices; it also exported mineral radars, warship bird radars, and AK-630 to China at very low prices. A series of Soviet-style weapons and equipment and patents such as close-in anti-artillery systems and SA-N-9 air defense systems.
Therefore, although China in the 1123rd plane has also developed the 054 series, its overall performance is stronger than the real-world 054 series frigates, and its iteration speed is also faster. However, the 054 series frigates in the 1123 plane are really too Soviet. The shipboard armament is roughly the same as that of the Soviet frigates of the same level, so that the 054 series frigates are often called the Chinese version 11540 and the Chinese version 11356.
Free sponsorship from the Soviet Union, Chinese version 11540, 054 equipped with the Dagger air defense system.
China in the 1123rd dimension began the design work of the Type 054 guided missile frigate in 1996 Note 1. After comprehensive consideration of economic strength and industrial affordability, the displacement of the Type 054 frigate was designated as three thousand tons. It is planned to equip this new frigate with the H/PJ-87 single-barreled 100mm rapid-fire gun imported from France, four AK-630 naval guns produced after the transfer of technology from the Soviet Union, and the KA-28 anti-submarine helicopter imported from the Soviet Union. , the anti-ship missile uses the YJ-83 anti-ship missile independently developed by China.
In terms of power system, the Chinese Navy considers that although gas turbines have the advantages of fast power response and high power density, gas turbines are too expensive, so the Type 054 frigate did not choose the gas turbine power that is standard on advanced frigates. group, but chose a diesel-diesel combined power group composed of 4 Pielstick 16PA6STC. The speed is reduced to 28 knots, which is much lower than the base speed of 30 knots for surface ships of the same type, but it is enough and this power pack is cheap.
In terms of radar, since the localization and improvement work of the Bandstand/Mineral Radar and Warshipbird-MA/Top Three-Coordinate Radar have not yet been completed, the Navy does not want its frigates to have too many uncontrollable factors. , directly using Soviet-made radar, there is always an uneasiness of being controlled by others. Therefore, the Navy decided to use the same type of radar as 053H3 to defeat it first.
The question is which type of anti-aircraft missile should the Type 054 frigate be equipped with? According to the original plan, the Type 054 frigate should be equipped with the domestically produced vertical version of the SA-N-7, that is, the Hongqi-16 Note 2. However, the development difficulty of the HQ-16 vertical launch unit far exceeds the Chinese Navy's expectations, resulting in the development speed of the carrier-based version of the Hongqi-16 air defense missile falling far behind the development speed of the Type 054 frigate platform.
The Hongqi-16 anti-aircraft missile will not be counted on for a while, and the Haihongqi-7 anti-aircraft missile is really bad, with huge size, short range, maneuverability, and anti-ship missile interception rate Very low, not to mention that the advanced frigates in the 1990s were all equipped with vertical launch units. Even Zhongyong ships that did not have vertical launchers for the anti-aircraft missiles they carried generally used a folding wing design, and the missile capacity was often 16 rounds. Get started.
How many generations are Haihongqi-7 anti-aircraft missiles lagging behind? The Navy is really unwilling to equip the Type 054 frigate with a stealth design with Haihongqi-7 air defense missiles that are already two or even three generations behind the world. If there is no other better option, the Navy may equip 054 with Shanghai Hongqi-7 since it is not an option.
When the Chinese Navy is in trouble, good news comes from the Chinese Navy delegation that went to Russia to purchase ships.
The drunk commander of the Pacific Fleet revealed that China extended a helping hand to the Soviet Union during a difficult time and purchased surface ships for the Pacific Fleet, which helped solve the urgent needs of the Pacific Fleet. The Soviet Union will surely remember this kindness.
After possessing modern technology, China certainly has acceptable medium-range air defense capabilities, but the Chinese Navy's short-range air defense and anti-missile capabilities are really poor. It is difficult to effectively intercept anti-ship missiles such as Harpoon, and its survivability is worrying. Logically speaking, the Soviet Union should recommend the Type 11540 frigate or an improved version of the Type 1135 frigate to the Chinese Navy. However, after the Chinese Navy purchased the modern class, its military expenditures have been stretched. China's economic strength was limited, so the Soviet Union naturally could not ignore China's interests for its own interests. Therefore, after discussions with relevant departments, the Pacific Fleet is considering providing China with two sets of SA-N-9 Dagger short-range air defense missile systems free of charge for China to test.
If China feels that the performance is good, China is welcome to purchase more Dagger air defense systems or warships equipped with Dagger air defense systems. It's okay if China feels it can't meet its needs. After all, the 3K95 hair extensions are a type of hair extensions that were born in the late 1970s and are indeed not advanced. The Soviet Union sincerely invites China to participate in the development of the Soviet 3S90M2 Shikili-2 cold-launch universal vertical launch system. China and the Soviet Union will jointly develop a universal vertical launch system suitable for destroyers and frigates.
The Soviet Union’s hospitality is hard to deny, and the development of the HQ-16 vertical launcher has indeed encountered difficulties. Since the Soviet Union is also developing a cold-launched universal vertical launcher unit, and the Soviet Union has extended an invitation, Therefore, China has also mobilized some technical personnel to participate in the development of the 3S90M2 universal vertical hair. The Navy hopes that after both vertical hairs are finalized, the AJK-16 universal vertical hair will compete with the 3S90M2 vertical hair on the same stage, and which one will be determined at that time. The style with hanging hair is more suitable for 054A.
In addition, the Soviet Union has provided two complete sets of SA-N-9 for free. It is naturally unreasonable to continue to use Haihongqi-7 for 054. Why not use it if it is free? It can save a little! Besides, the full system depth of the 3K95 vertical hair system is lower than that of the AJK-16 vertical hair system. The space reserved for the mineral/music station radar is not a problem to install the Cross Sword fire control radar. Therefore, the Navy happily decided to provide 054 is equipped with 3K95 Vertical and Dagger air defense missile systems. The Type 054 frigate, which is about to be frozen, has begun to modify its design.
The Type 054 frigate, which smells like wool, looks like the stealth monkey version 11540.
Type 054 guided missile frigate (plane 1123): 134 meters long, 16 meters wide, standard displacement 3500 tons, full load displacement 3900 tons; powered by 4 Pielstick 16PA6STC diesel engines, maximum speed 28 knots ; It is equipped with a flight deck and hangar, and the carrier-based aircraft is a KA-28.
Shipboard armament: one H/PJ-87 100MM naval gun, 4 H/PJ-13 6-barreled 60MM rapid-fire guns, 2 4-unit YJ-83 anti-aircraft missiles, 4 726-4 jammer launchers, 2 sets of Type 97 rocket depth bombs, 2 3-unit 324mm anti-submarine torpedoes;
The number of Type 054 frigates built is two, namely the 525 Maanshan and 526 Luoyang ship (the Wenzhou ship in plane 1123 is a modern-class destroyer). The Ma'anshan ship, built by Hudong Zhonghua Shipyard, started construction in November 1997, was launched in August 2001, and entered service in January 2003; the No. 2 ship Luoyang ship, built by Guangzhou Huangpu Plant, was launched in October 2001 and launched in 2003. Entered service in August.
Overall, the Type 054 frigate is a pretty good frigate. The anti-submarine performance is stronger than all previous ships of the Chinese Navy, and the anti-ship performance is not bad either. In particular, the existence of the Dagger air defense missile makes the Type 054 frigate the first surface ship of the Chinese Navy equipped with vertical launchers, and has the strongest air defense capability of the People's Liberation Army.
Although the Dagger air defense missile has a range of only 12 kilometers, the British Seawolf air defense missile has a range of only 7.5 kilometers, and the American RIM-7 Sea Sparrow has a range of about 15 kilometers. Considering that the Dagger air defense missile has With 4 fire channels, it has strong multi-target interception capability. So even compared with the American and Russian frigates, the 054 is not bad.
It’s just that the Navy is equipped with one 100-mm gun, two sets of rocket depth bombs, four AK-630s, one SA-N-9, eight anti-ship missiles, and KA-28 anti-submarine helicopters. The Type 054 frigate fell into deep thought. After all, the Soviet Navy's Type 11540 frigate is also a 100MM naval gun, 4 groups of 8 units, daggers, 8 anti-ship missiles, rocket depth bombs KA-28...
Compared with the 11540, the Type 054 frigate is a torpedo The launch tube is a little small, the radar is a little bad, and the close-in defense system is a little bad. If the localization of the 382 radar was not blocked, maybe the 054 would also be equipped with the Warshipbird-MA radar, and the AK-630 system could have been replaced with a chestnut tree in a two-for-one ratio... In other words, what does the Type 054 frigate look like? Does it feel like an invisible monkey version of 11540?
Reasonable analysis: This article is inspired by the scrapped case of 054 equipped with the Dagger air defense system. In the 1123rd dimension, China's economy is developing more rapidly, and its enthusiasm for developing stealth frigates will naturally be higher. However, due to the timing of weapons imports, the overdue development of the Hongqi-16 is unavoidable. In other words, China in the 1123rd dimension is more affected by the overdue subsystem problem. And because the Soviet Union has not collapsed, international pressure will be much smaller. In order to survive, the Soviet Union must continue to strengthen Sino-Soviet relations. Therefore, for China, which is richer in the 1123 plane, wouldn't it be logical to develop a Type 054 frigate equipped with a dagger?
The fictional 1123-dimensional version of the Type 054 frigate is based on the real Type 054 and drawn using the scrapped 054 model. The radar system and armament layout are based on the 054 scrapped project, and the rest are based on the real version of 054. The main body of 054 side view is HomeSniper's 054. The top view was drawn by myself. Of course, some top views of weapons were used.
In the Soviet Union, Andropov came to power earlier and the reforms took longer, so Sino-Soviet relations eased in 1979. In order to make up for each other's shortcomings, China and the Soviet Union Multiple special economic zones have been built, so the economic conditions of China in the 1123rd plane in the 1990s were better than those in the real world, and naval military expenditures were also slightly higher.
In the Soviet Union’s strategic vision, it is one of the Soviet Union’s national policies to tie up China and destroy China’s independent military research and development capabilities. Therefore, the Soviet Union is very generous in arms sales and technology exports to China, which is often what China wants. , or the equipment that China plans to develop, the Soviet Union will very actively promote the sales of the same type of Soviet weapons to China. Warshipbird radar and mineral radar are both open for sale, and the Soviet Union also granted China permission to improve them. But the Soviet Union also required China to indicate that those weapons came from the Soviet Union when exporting them.
Plane 1123 ordered six modern ships in three batches. The first two were early-type modern ships. The declared price was US$320 million, but the actual price was US$280 million. They were the former Soviet Navy Pacific Fleet Shenmi. (NO.864, commissioned in 1984) and the Northern Fleet Impeccable (NO.865, commissioned in 1985), which were renamed Hangzhou and Fuzhou after commissioning; the Shumi was delivered in 2007.
The second batch of two ships are mature modern ones, with a price tag of 450 million but actually 350 million. They are the Pacific Fleet's Steadfast and the Northern Fleet's Inspiration. After entering service, they were renamed Taizhou and Ningbo; The third batch of two Hyundais is the newly built 956UMK Hyundai, priced at US$500 million. It is a vertical launcher of air defense and anti-ship missiles. It is equipped with 24 units of heavy vertical launchers and 72 units of air defense vertical launchers. They are Wenzhou ship and Huizhou ship respectively. The ship name Wenzhou has been taken, so naturally 526 cannot be called Wenzhou ship. Therefore, it will not take away the name of the 053H3 Luoyang ship.
