The American fleet has the answer to the Russians flying near its ships.

The American fleet there is something to kick ass Russian flying near his ships (original title of the translated article)

13 On April, a couple of Russian Su-24 fighters decided to offend the US Navy ship Donald Kuk (DDG 75). Russian planes made about ten flights at close range. One senior US official called it "one of the most aggressive actions in recent stories».

One of the spans was so close that it raised a wave around the ship. The plane passed about 10 meters from the ship.

However, America has the answer to these games with spans.

Our fleet has powerful weapons Phalanx CIWS (Close-in Weapon System - melee weapon system). It is used to fire at targets such as attacking missiles or fighters.

The Phalanx CIWS has an 4500 firing rate per minute and Donald Cook has two bad guys on his board.

This is equal to 75 shells in ONE second.

The CIWS system also has the nickname R2D2 (robot character "Star Wars", photo above).

on "tricky phalanxes" we have "electronic warfare with a screw" ... after the application of which, you can land a boarding group of marines on "cookies".

[Navigator]

Our ships have something similar - the AK-630 complex. It has a shooting mode from the sighting column through the collimator sight. And you can shoot without fear of any electronic warfare, especially at a low-flying target. It is possible that s have exactly the same opportunities. Therefore, to exclude the use of Vulcan-phalance would be wrong.

Our system is both faster-firing (6000 rounds per minute) and the rotation does not come from an electric motor, but thanks to powder gases, as far as I remember.

The principle of operation of their systems is different.

And it will be more powerful: a caliber of 30 mm, against 20.

[Dimon19661]

Phalanx can work on purpose only in the Doppler effect mode (TWS mode), MP-123 VIMPEL (AK-630 control station) works both in TWS and in normal mode, which gives a significant advantage when tracking highly maneuverable targets. can carry two guns, with a total maximum rate of 12000 rpm.Although usually the rate of fire is set to 3000, or 4500 rpm for each gun. As the AK caliber was correctly noted, it is 10 mm higher, respectively, the salvo weight is greater. the systems are approximately the same, but unlike the FALANX, VIMPEL has two more backup pointing methods - from a TV, and from a column (main-radar), although these two methods are mainly used for firing at mines and coastal targets (landing support).

[Dimon19661]

Yes, I forgot to specify the configuration — two AK-630 and one AK-176 for one station VIMPEL MP 123-01. Such a scheme was on SSV-33 URAL.

But what is the limit in this case: what does who have? We "have" ... they "have" .... The question is whether they have the spirit to consciously apply this, what "is". After all, the answer from us will be quite real and more than justified. Moreover, the precedent took place off our coast. So that all the past and subsequent discussion in the key used in the article is nothing more than a "vibration of the atmosphere" (blogosphere, etc.).

In the event of a "fight" the Su-24 would have been shot down, and the dead pilots would have been declared heroes. Therefore, it is worth rejoicing that the "fight" did not occur, and the tragedy did not repeat itself as on 25.05.1968/16/XNUMX. with the crew of Tu-XNUMX Lieutenant Colonel A.Z. Pliev.

[Andrey K]

Now your position is clear
I will explain my own: I do not consider myself a patriot, I believe that one should rely on reality.
And the reality is this: in the event of a fight and the destruction of our Su, as you suggested, "Cook" would not have walked a mile. I don't think there are any stupid people in the US to suggest otherwise. And I would have to somehow explain at home how "Cook" ended up 70 kilometers from a foreign military base, on the back of the globe ...

very interesting. Are you guided by the words of the comedian when you assess the possibility of getting quiet at Cook's?
How do you imagine that?
"If Commander Cook went crazy and gave the order to shoot down Sushki" - he would have dumped to the bottom of the Baltic, exactly during the time the command passed before the calculations of "Bal" or "Bastion" and the destruction of this trough.

[igorka357]

Andrei, you’re not in the topic, however, such incidents .. I mean the downing of the plane and return fire are being solved at the highest level, this is not a mess between the African bumboos, these are two nuclear powers .. which can even split the globe! I think comrade Leto is right if the captain of the cook had gone crazy four heroes ... a public apology is possible, and pretty preferences for Russia! None of the commanders below the deputy defense minister would have taken responsibility for the sinking of the US destroyer, without the approval of the president, this is a grandmother do not go!

Alibek:
1. In the Russian language, the appeal to "you" is not a desire or disposition to the interlocutor, but a sign of the presence of culture, education, if you like. It is customary to contact "You" either by permission or by default to close friends. You have neither the one nor the other in relation to me, as I have to you. If it is accepted by you, then apply your rules, where they are perceived. I didn’t allow you to do this.

2. "As a retaliatory measure, it is necessary to land a Turkish aircraft or with an Inzherlik caliber" ...
You dashing guy, you probably even served in the army and graduated from the diplomatic academy.
Do you watch news in general, read newspapers? No? Then I’ll tell you a secret: the Turk launched a rocket while on national territory. Released her on at least two of Su. That is, to land the F-16, you propose crossing the border, and accordingly the Turkish air defense zone, and pull it, at least to the Khmeimim airfield, because it’s not possible to put it in Turkish? Tactics you are awful
"Caliber according to Inzherlik" ... You and a lousy strategist. I will reveal a terrible military secret, the Inzherlik airfield is leased from the United States. That is, while in Kazakhstan, in Kostanay, you realized that for the Su shot down by the Turks, you need to hit the US airbase

Probably. True, they would not have been shot down by Volcanoes, since on 2000 they would not have approached the ship. Most likely they would have entered on a pair of X-31 kilometers with 100 (as an option for X-58 or old women X-28) Approaching such a range undetected would be quite possible. At least earlier, the Tu-16 did it. And in the real situation as a whole, they could have completely not been shot down.

Me at the time when preparing the article Service and combat use of the Su-24 front-line bomber this could not be done. In addition, the problematic liquid X-28 has long been removed from service.

A rescue group was immediately sent from the aircraft carrier, the bodies were raised, which were subsequently transferred to the Soviet side.
Tu-16R Performed reconnaissance of the US Navy aircraft carrier Essex in the Norwegian Sea. Turning around at low altitude, I caught water on my wing.

[Wedmak]

All of these revolving guns don't actually have that much efficiency.

You are wrong. These machines are designed for short-range air defense, when the missile is no longer available. They create a curtain of fire and with the proper guidance system, bring everything that flies.
Another question is if curved operators smear. Or a completely different issue of effectiveness against 7-ton Volcanoes and Granites.

They do not even have enough range, not to mention power. What is designed to combat UAVs and portable radios cannot even do anything with the tank, not to mention the ship.

For some show, damn it.
Prezik Romanov sang on a ship with a nightingale.

He walked directly from the Bosphorus.
There are official dates of passage of straits and arrival at the port.
If you look, then it will become clear to you that there was no way for our destroyers to capture and track targets - this destroyer could not be by definition.
Sightseeing could also potentially see something, but for the target capture mode this is too far away.

The EW Monolith complex does not exist.
There is such a name in the radar of Coastal anti-ship missiles, but it doesn’t in electronic warfare.
And the ideal range for this radar near 350-400 to detect. On target capture, escorts are far less 300.

The incident off the coast of Crimea suggests otherwise. It was there that the coastal EW systems put out the Cook.

Andrey, good afternoon! What actually happened off the coast of Crimea is unknown. If you do not believe me, ask the "ancient", Sergei will confirm - unfortunately, the front-line bomber Su-24M does not carry systems capable of extinguishing Aegis.

[NEXUS]

Good afternoon, Seryozha! The fact that the radar monitors on Cook "flooded with milk" confirm the mattresses themselves. This is a fact. And therefore, I believe, as I said above, from exposure to a dozen coastal radars and exposure in combination with electronic warfare systems, Cook and I'm not saying that the Monolith is or is not capable of extinguishing the Aegis alone, I am talking about the fact that there was a group impact on the destroyer's electronics, which led to the disconnection of Cook's electronics.

Andrei, I would know, even superficially, the characteristics and capabilities of the AN / SPY-1 radar, I did not take it for granted. Of course, the Americans had certain difficulties, but I forgive I do not believe in the complete failure of Aegis. Most likely, after irradiation of the ship with the guidance stations of coastal complexes, the Americans simply lost their nerves.

The characteristics of the electronic warfare systems that are currently being used are often classified information. And what only the developers are fully aware of is capable of these complexes, and I think this is far from the ultimate possibilities. For example, Krasukha-4 ... what we also know about this complex what was broadcast in the media and on the Zvezda channel? Nothing in fact. And this applies to the Lever, and to Vitebsk, and to the same Monolith. By the way, it’s not the fact that the Crime incident with Cook completed the Monolith. I can fully assume that this was a completely new electronic warfare complex, which was tested on the electronics of a mattress destroyer. I don’t think they will tell you, me, or any of the members of the forum present.
And about "lost their nerves" ... Seryozha, they knew where they were going and what could be. They lost their nerves when they saw that they were defenseless. Indirect proof of the operation of the electronic warfare systems is a 12-fold flight over the destroyer in order to see what the reaction of the equipment the foe will be, and of course the act of warning too.

You confuse moments a little:

2. Attacking Turkey in a deliberately losing situation makes no sense, our videoconferencing would be enough for an hour and a half, and no one planned to start a nuclear war in that region.
3. The authority of GDP on the world stage is such (the second plane) will not be forgiven, they won’t even greet him, therefore, our will be beaten for sure and powerfully, our sailors will certainly be saved, after we apologize and we will stir up some kind of contract from the time of the 60s - about dangerous approaches and incidents.

There is no such system. On civilian liners there are transponders, on combat aircraft of the "friend or foe" state recognition system. In addition, when flying around the American destroyer Su-24M, coastal radars were probably conducted.

[vvv-73]

Well, Turkey had a military problem - they no longer fly to Syria and their capabilities there have fallen dramatically.

Someone applies a wide range of measures, someone "poor".

[Bosk]

The fact that the Phalangs can shoot down is really so, but the "trouble" is that in a combat situation the planes do not fly at a distance of actual fire of this weapon, in the case of "Cook" it was a demonstration and judging by the screams and screams, it was quite successful.

[dark_flame]

Demonstration of what? If the Americans did not want to let the "dryers" approach them, they would not let them in, but this is an ideal situation for them. Congress will allocate $ 100500 million to create super protection for their ships against the "evil Russians" who will be successful.

[navy33]

After the fight, they don’t wave their fists, heh heh heh ...

Our people fly because they know they won't shoot down. They don't really care because they know that the Russians won't shoot. Well, yes, they came here, but in neutral waters ... so what? Well, children from the Internet have fun "27 people have written off from" Cook "!" ... "mattress covers are ... Kindergarten, by God.

Serious, but out of its caliber in 20-mm, it has a very, very small effective firing range. Well, if of course the Su-24 decides to bomb from a low altitude or cannon handle the destroyer (well, purely a fool) then yes, you can shoot down Vulcan as well. And if at least S-24 or S-13 NARS, then Vulcan will have to shoot down only cheap NARS, and reach Drying - his hands will be short. Drying more air defense systems need to be afraid. The first link of anti-radar missiles should be launched, the second anti-puncture. And at a distance of 100 km from the ship, a U-turn for the return trip.

I apologize, please tell me an ignoramus, and what kind of weapon of the Su-24M besides the freely falling bombs, NAR and guns would be used against the American Aegis destroyer? So I understand that there are no other arguments besides the minuses?

[Bort radist]

From the point of view of the theory of relativity, one can make claims against Cook. That the ship sailed very close to the SU-24 flight path. Express concern and note in NATO.
As a former radio operator gunner, I want to add that it is not so easy to shoot down without hardware aiming (handles), despite the rate of fire. Angular speeds, excess, pressure, wind, ship is moving ................ This is a huge experience + have a taste. Practically shoot "white light" where, in theory, a target could appear. Barrage fire can be effective, but with modern rates of fire, ammunition will last for several tens of seconds. And photos of the past. We flew !!! click.

[mav1971]

Quote: Bort Radist

You carefully watched saw a flyby?
There, the Americans took so many seconds to shoot their hand-held camera exactly the sector from which the plane eventually appeared.
And besides, all of them had to go out "into the fresh air" - at the same time. It was evident from the recording that everyone was "waiting" for more than one second. No one is in a hurry, no one runs out.
Although the videos in 20-30 seconds - but it is clear that they are cropped.
So the guaranteed minimum time from the moment of detection is 100% over 30 seconds.
And I think that it was actually measured in minutes. because you need to get the bearing and range, take the camera in your hands, turn it on. Get on board.

So there’s no particular fear - they don’t have

[Bort radist]

Quote: mav1971

I did not write about fear. Do not tell the focal length of the video camera. Again, aiming through the sight is very difficult to catch and escort a high-speed target. When moving in dashes, you have 3-4 seconds, during this time it is almost impossible to catch a running figure on the fly. Even with an aiming bar on "P" and a distance of up to 100 m. Of course you won't miss at close range, but this is tantamount to suicide. This is what our valiant pilots use. If, at a distance of 1 km, you get into an aircraft going to the ship, then in a couple of seconds 90% of you will get all this mass on board. The sailors understand this too.

I'm probably tongue-tied.
It’s just from the time stamps and the behavior in the frame that the Americans drove our plane for several minutes at least. and I think. that still there were a lot of minutes - probably 15-20. Not less.
They led steadily on radars, which shows the exact positioning of the hand camera.

No surprise - no defeat.

And besides your opinion, do you hear something?
Can we argue about different things? I talked about the fact that without a radar, manually controlled to shoot down a flying target is very, very difficult. Even knowing the sector from where this goal will appear. Example Tank Biathlon. From a place, on a motionless target with NSVT-12,7, or did Kord hit a lot? I shot from air guns at air targets, and you?

The Su-24 has the same GS-6-23 gun and a radar for guidance.
1. If the link will fly with weapons, then after the attack of one Su-24, the second will put the anti-ship missiles on board the destroyer or report to the coastal complex with Onyxes.
2. If Cook will attack the link, then it will reach Phalanx when he will shoot the approaching RCC (in the amount of 2-4 pieces)

Air-to-surface missile and bomb weapons:
Su-24 - X-23 / X-23M missiles (up to 4 on the underwing suspension units) with radio command guidance systems or 2 can be used on the aircraft. X-28 and X-58 radar with passive
GOS; due to the small range of radar frequencies captured by X-28 missiles and carrier aircraft equipment, the following practice existed on the first Su-24 series - the Su-24 squadron (usually 12 aircraft) covered all frequency ranges of the alleged enemy air defense radar;



Su-24M - guided missiles such as Kh-23, Kh-25, Kh-29 are used (4 missiles of the Kh-23 / Kh-25 type under the wing or 3 types of Kh-29 - two under the wing and one under the fuselage) with all types guidance systems, anti-radar missiles such as Kh-28, Kh-58 / Kh-58U (with the installation of a container with guidance equipment LO-81 "Phantasmagoria"), missiles Kh-59 with the installation of a container with equipment APK-9, [b] X- 31P or Kh-31A (all types of missiles starting from Kh-28 - up to 2 pieces on the inner underwing hardpoints)

Phalanx is a fairly simple system analogous to our "shilka" schematically. It is hard to jam with interference. The radar is not as powerful and highly targeted. And besides, there must be an optical sighting device for target acquisition.
