Why did Xiongfeng 3 anti-ship missile hit fishing boats?

It was a training error, because the system was tried, but it was accidentally switched to combat mode, so the missile was really launched. This time, the target was 75 kilometers offshore, so the missile automatically searched for the ship to attack there and hit the passing fishing boat by mistake.

The warhead weight of this missile is only 150kg, and the total weight is1.5t. ..

The longest range is 400 kilometers. When the longitude and latitude of the target position are set, the missile will fly to the target area close to the sea surface, and then automatically attack the ships in the target area.

There are different opinions about the flying height of Xiongsan missile. According to the height of the fishing boat, it is preliminarily judged that the flying height of the Xiongsan missile is only 3~4 meters.

If you are close to the sea at this altitude, it will be difficult for radar to detect it. When the war happens, because the missile firing rate is extremely high, the response time is less than one minute, that is, the missile cannot be searched within one minute after shooting, and the ship will be hit and sunk.

Secondly, judging from the heavy situation of fishing boats, their ship search ability is extremely high, even ships the size of fishing boats can hit them. Fortunately, the metal sheet of the fishing boat is very thin and goes straight into the sea. If you encounter a warship, it will trigger the warhead fuze and cause fatal damage to the warship.

It has the characteristics of high speed, small size and difficult to lock and track, so it is also called the killer of aircraft carriers.
