Data Figure: Domestic FL-3000N advanced defensive weapons systems, ships Data Chart: US-developed” Ram “carrier-based anti-missile weapon system fire

U.S. Strategy Page website on April 18 entitled “China’s aircraft carrier installation of defense equipment,” the article, the following main elements:

China’s new carrier, “Shi Lang” was (before the “Kuznetsov” was ) installed the first batch of weapons. This weapon is not difficult to see that FL-3000N anti-missile system. Such weapons and America’s “Ram” (RAM) anti-missile missile system similar to the difference is that China’s use of this weapon system 24 mounted missile launchers, precision is low. FL-3000N was launched three years ago, using a missile than “Ram” system to be small. FL-3000N Missile 2 meters long, a maximum range of 9,000 meters (about half the speed range missiles). The diameter 120 mm missiles, guidance systems now used with the “Ram” is similar, but during the flight as “Ram” flexible.

decades, the U.S. Navy “Phalanx” (Phalanx) 20 毫米 Su Shebao more and more anti-missile system was “Hai Lamu” (SeaRam) replaced. Interestingly, “Hai Lamu” is “Phalanx” system-based, but the 20 mm gun into the van-mounted 11 “Ram” missile.

“Ram” system is developed in the 1980s, but until 1993 deployment. “Hai Lamu” interception time is more abundant and can be farther away from the ship to shoot down incoming missiles. This is important because if the incoming missile is a high-speed large-scale anti-ship missiles (and Russia’s preference to sell such missiles to other countries). “Hai Lamu” missiles with 11 to go, so it can simultaneously intercept multiple targets, “Phalanx” do not have this feature. l

“Hai Lamu” missile cost about $ 450,000 each costing about missile higher than the FL-3000N at least 50%. New offshore for U.S. warships (LCS) will also install the “Hai Lamu” system.

“Shi Lang”/”Kuznetsov” aircraft carrier in Russia in the 1980s began building the “Kuznetsov” aircraft carrier-class one. The aircraft carrier aviation fuel load 2,500 tons for the 500 to lOOO vehicles to fuel aircraft and helicopters. Design Crew 2,500 (full load, the number of passengers up to 3000). Recently, the world’s only existing carrier that level two; first aircraft carrier to the level of the Russian active aircraft carrier “Admiral Kuznetsov” and ship “Kuznetsov” was. Like with most of the active aircraft carriers, the only defensive weapon is equipped, like the “Phalanx” and “FL-3000N” This missile defense systems.
