"Proved to be a world leader in repelling missile attacks": the British Navy on the use of the Type 45 destroyer

The British Navy command was impressed by the results of the two-week maneuvers of the HMS Dragon, during which it practiced anti-missile defense.

Type 45 Royal destroyer fleet proved to be a world leader in repelling missile and air attacks during the largest international exercises of this type off the coast of Scotland

- declared on the website of the Navy.



We are talking about NATO maneuvers "Terrible Shield", during which "weapon and HMS Dragon's sensors have proven themselves against everything fired at NATO's task force, from ballistic missiles hitting Earth from space to supersonic targets heading towards ships at nearly three times the speed of sound. ”

During these exercises, the Royal Navy tested its two main air defense systems - the Sea Viper, which is equipped with the destroyer, and the shorter-range Sea Ceptor, installed on the frigates HMS Lancaster and HMS Argyll.

At the same time, only HMS Dragon performed combat firing. His target was the Firejet UAV, flying from Benbecula [an island in the Outer Hebrides] at a speed of over 640 km per hour. The ship's air defense team detected a threat, and the Sea Viper system was already leading the object. One of the missiles placed in 48 launchers was used as an interceptor. SAM, exceeding the speed of sound by 4 times, when approaching the target, carries out enhanced maneuvering with a load of up to 50G. It took the missile only a few seconds to eliminate the threat.



I was speechless after the shot; I've never experienced anything like this before

- said technical engineer Jamie King.

I can't believe I'm lucky to be a part of this; the flame was huge

- noted Junior Lieutenant Ben Craddock.

Dragon did what dragons do best: breathed fire

- said the captain of the ship Giles Palin.

The Dread Shield is said to have proven that the Dragon destroyer can track long-range ballistic missiles flying at over Mach 8. The ship was also driven by Coyote supersonic targets [American targets GQM-163], flying at a speed of more than 3,4 thousand km per hour. The British destroyer transmitted information about the UAV to the allied ships that were responsible for the destruction drone.

All this emphasized the ability of the Type 45 destroyer to repel air and missile attacks both alone and in cooperation with allies [in total, 15 ships participated in the exercise]

      I am sad and sad that all this is happening now. When will humanity end the confrontation and start solving really important problems ??? A set of social and natural problems of a planetary nature, affecting the interests of all peoples, on the solution of which the economic and social progress of mankind and the preservation of civilization depend.

          The sailor confessed honestly ...
          That they fired for the first time. lol

          Kaak fired, kaak jumped! And immediately to the world leaders. Shooting down a subsonic target missile the first time, and escorting a supersonic one.

            Young fellows. An anti-missile was tested in the Mediterranean. They launched a target and the anti-missile was supposed to eliminate it. But she did not want to shoot down the target, she thought it was her own. And the second one did not start. She just pshiknula and refused to shoot down. On the trajectory, it was clear that the target would fall in Turkey. She herself did not want to explode either. The target was shot down by the Russians. But no one knows where they launched their anti-target, but she tore the target to pieces and it fell, what remained, several tens of kilometers away. from Turkey, and Lebanon. The war was averted.

          It is not clear why so hard to maneuver when intercepting a drone flying at a speed of 640 km / h and hardly maneuvering. Apparently, such a need arose from a reporter who did not find another way to express his delight.
          All targets except this drone, as I understand it, they tracked only, but the question is, where did they track the ballistic missile? In general, it's true

            wink Everything is simple here. Acceleration - the square of the speed divided by the radius. (Well, by g, if we talk about the overload.) If the rocket flies three times faster than the target, then the overload at the same radius will be nine times more. The target maneuvers with an overload of 5, the missile will need 45. And the task is not as simple as it seems. It's not about the strength of the rocket. And the fact that its wing should be able to create a "lift" force from one to 45-weight rocket. No breakdown. But such a good wing will prevent it from flying far without maneuvering.

          But the crew's comments

          These are not crew comments, but a sample of the domestic media. Her Majesty's Navy is served by professionals, and not "green" youths for 18 years, like some .. And the combat past of the Royal Navy cannot be compared with the expertise of the Navy of Russia, the USSR, the Russian Federation .. tens, if not hundreds of times ...
          PS: I haven’t heard that Queen Elizabeth went to exercises in solo voyage to shoot short-range air defense ... like our Kuznetsov. Who has demonstrated all his skills. And I don't remember that 956, 11356, 22350 or someone else shot down supersonic targets. At least like Coyote. But the PAAMS air defense system that is on the French and English destroyers can boast of this, which is posted on the network.

            A good comment, in essence and clearly, is not something that some immediately turned on patriotic sarcasm, but you will not hear about the Russian fleet and will not see you, they will tell you on TV that the miracle weapon has been tested and put into service and that there will be enough and propagandists will show a staged plot so that the electorate does not ask a question why in real combat conditions the miracle weapon does not work.

                    Air defense / missile defense at 22350 was done for 9 long years and a couple of years GOSy .. it is not known how it ended.

                    It is known. The last time they shot down missiles from the Iceberg. Targets from converted P-120 missiles. 11356 shot down targets from the X-35.
                    Air defense has not yet shown anything in real hostilities, but they are already being praised.

                    So it didn't show that no one wants to test its capabilities on their own skin. laughing Although the Jews periodically test the Syrian anti-air defense system with varying success.
                    on Calcutta and Vikramaditya, the Indians put Barak-8 and not the "Poliment-Redut" air defense missile system, they just put Shtil-11356 on 1 (since they did not shmagi in time to master Polyment)

                    You have some kind of mess in your head. Calm always stood on 11356 and no one in a sober mind and sound memory planned to bet Polyment-Redoubt. Vikromaditya was launched in 2008, Kolkata in 2006. What could we offer the Hindus at that time?
                    Do we sell a lot of surface ships? In addition to Cheetahs in Vietnam, there is nothing to remember.

                    Remember the last three 11356. That you could not finish building for yourself.

                        Project 1135 has been the workhorse of our Navy since the time of dear Leonid Ilyich. Has gone through many upgrades. And it was the expensive and uneconomical power plant and the lack of potential for modernization that finished it off. In what way are you or Timokhin, as a great expert, not satisfied with the current "Calm", as a zonal air defense complex of a frigate? Its ancestor "Hurricane" was installed on the destroyers of Project 956. Only the S-300F was steeper, but this is a complex for cruisers. And which country had several medium-range shipborne SAM systems in service?
                        He described in more or less detail the exercises of the naval missile defense system. When anti-ship missiles were shot down at a height of a hundred meters ... this is eyewash.

                        This is a normal process for developing a new set and skills of the crew. From simple to complex. Admiral Grigorovich on RM-24 worked "Calm" on May 26:

                        Sold so as not to rot .. for a penny.

                        These are normal pennies, given that the ships are in a very modest configuration and to expand the capabilities of the PLO, one more upgrade must be muddied.

                          THE TALK was about the frigate 11356, which was put into production, since Polyment-Redoubt was delayed at that time .. The frigate without zonal air defense. And therefore they were sold to the Indians without regret.
                          Which country was in service with several medium-range naval air defense systems?

                          Let's say the adversaries. RIM-162 .. Olivier Perry frigates, for example .. and their derivatives. It is in service with Turkey.
                          And SM-2 with different missile options. Both complexes are still in service ... SM-6 in the same class, plus long-range options - up to 460 km.
                          Its ancestor "Hurricane" was installed on the destroyers of pr.956

                          I had a good opinion of Sarychs and Hurricane in particular, after the 1989 exercises, when 956 shot down 11 of 12 targets (something like that ... although more modest numbers are given), but the Hurricane is a girder air defense, it will not reflect a massive raid ...
                          In general, I consider it a big BACKGROUND that we continued to develop the revolving type of loading and beams, and did not, like adversaries - honeycombs, yak MK-41

                          Can you distinguish between patrol boat 1135 (BOD up to 77 years old) and frigate 11356

                          I can very well. You will not deny that the export 11356 is the result of the 1135 upgrades.
                          A workhorse, a watchdog in / and less than 3000 tons? This is not a horse - this is some kind of pony.

                          Yes, and quite numerous. Unlike 1134B, of which only 7 were built. and smeared across fleets. The good seaworthiness of 1135 is evidenced by the fact that it was from it that ships began to be made to protect the economic zone for the MCHPV. And 11351 were built 8 boards. They served in the Far East and spent much more time in service than the Navy.
                          Let's say the adversaries. RIM-162

                          It is he who is the only medium-range air defense complex. Oliver Perry's retired and sold out. The Americans no longer use SM-1 missiles (50 km). And all sorts of Turkey-Taiwan are just operators. And the SM-2-3-6 are not medium-range missiles.
                          I had a good opinion of Sarich and Hurricane

                          So Calm is the export name for Hurricane. Only the launcher is different and the rocket has been upgraded for vertical launch. Another version with ARLGSN has appeared.
                          Hurricane girder air defense, it will not reflect a massive raid.

                          Even the early Ticonderogs had girder launchers. I'm not talking about the Olivers. Until the radio correction mode was developed from the surveillance or firing radar, there was no alternative to the beam.

        Well, they learned how to intercept Onyx.

        Where did you get this from? Read carefully:

        the target was the Firejet UAV, flying from Benbecula [an island in the Outer Hebrides] at over 640 km per hour.

        The missile speed of the P-800 complex is of the order of 2700 km / h.
        And the fact that the radars of other systems were able to "see" an 80-mah rocket "somewhere out there" does not mean at all that the missile defense of a ship could shoot down this missile.

          But my message that Zircon is too tough for them, with its speed of 8M, you repeated correctly.
          Onyx's speed is less than 3M. Therefore, its interception by British air defense forces is technically possible. hi

        Onyx, the British could theoretically shoot down.
        The rocket is not new, and they have been learning to shoot it down for a long time.
        The Israelis shot down the target imitating Onyx.
        But the target was one and did not maneuver at all.
        They will not take Daggers or Zircons in any way.
        At the same time, they can remain world leaders.

          1) The dagger (Iskander air launch) is not capable of hitting a moving target.
          The coordinates of the target are put into it before the shot. While flying with him
          no connection.
          Therefore, no ships moving in the ocean are threatened by the Daggers.
          Only ships at bases.
          2) Zircon, no matter how fast it flies in the initial and middle section,
          when flying to the target, it will necessarily slow down to supersonic speed
          (up to the speed of Onyx). Otherwise, his seeker will not capture the target.

            The dagger (Iskander air launch) is not capable of hitting a moving target.
            In it, the coordinates of the target are laid before the shot. There is no connection with him during the flight.

            Not certainly in that way.
            The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported that the newest Russian aviation missile system "Dagger" received a unique opportunity to launch at its target "blindly" - in fact, the missile can be launched by a MiG-31 carrier aircraft, and subsequently be guided and corrected from the Il -20M.

            Zircon, no matter how fast it flies in the initial and middle segment, when flying to the target, it will necessarily slow down to supersonic speed (to the speed of Onyx). Otherwise, his seeker will not capture the target.

      At the same time, only HMS Dragon performed combat firing. Its target was the Firejet UAV, flying from Benbekul [an island in the Outer Hebrides] at a speed of over 640 km per hour.

        Moreover, at a SAM speed of about 4M

        Imagine, they don't catch up with her wink they fly towards, at some directional angle. And there was no talk about 8M. Theoretically, it is possible.

        In December 2011, Aster 30 shot down an Israeli Black Sparrow ballistic missile target, the first time an Aster intercepted a missile of this type.
        In April 2012, a French Horizon-type Forbin frigate shot down an American GQM-163 Coyote target simulating a low-flying supersonic anti-ship cruise missile with a speed of 2,5 M flying at an altitude of less than 5 meters. This was the first time that a European missile defense system had destroyed a supersonic low-flying missile.

          "The Formidable Shield allegedly proved that the Dragon destroyer can track ballistic missiles in long range in space and traveling at speeds in excess of Mach 8."
          Didn't you read that? That's your business. Only for some reason it seems to me that seeing and not intercepting is useless.
          And as for the speed, I read once that the rocket must surpass the target in speed even when launched towards it, and at the same time have one and a half times the available lateral overload. Or is it enough to throw a stone at the rocket, and it will explode? laughing

      Reflection on where directed missile attacks? On him, or somewhere? Like the Iron Dome, or the Heavenly Dome? Above the Heavenly Dome, no rocket can take off. The dome beats it off and directs it so that it flies vertically and already on the deck explodes together with the rocket being launched. There is no such thing that one person did and the other could not break it. "Love Formula". What one did, the other can always break.
