The 22-type missile speedboat, known as the carrier killer, has been controversial recently. Why is it sealed?

The missile boat 022 is very interesting, and it is one of China's sci-fi warships in the new century. It is characterized by the design of high-speed wave-piercing catamaran. The 200-ton boat carries eight Eagle Strike 83 anti-ship missiles with very strong attack power. In addition, China built it mainly for offshore defense. It looks tall and has high performance data. At that time, it was the star product of the navy, with countless fans! In terms of performance alone, the 022 missile was very advanced in 2004, not timid, but also very stealthy, with a penetration speed of 50 knots, which can adapt to class 5 sea conditions. Launching eight missiles at a time will probably numb most ships in the world! Our country has built 80 small boats with such high performance at one go. At first glance, you will know that it is a wolf pack tactic at sea, and it will saturate the attack intensity at one time, even if it is an aircraft carrier formation!

At that time, China's potential enemy, the United States, was so powerful that aircraft carrier formations frequently appeared in various exercises on the high seas not far from China. The most advanced warships in China are only modern donkey kong, 167 fighter, and 1 12, 1 13, which is very stressful!

Therefore, the development of such a type 022 missile speedboat, using stealth and high-speed penetration of the US aircraft carrier formation, sounds much more reliable than using these large warships to penetrate. However, with the progress of the times, this time is different from the past. In just 15 years, the advanced warships of our navy were launched like a cross. Especially the latest 056, about 60 ships have been built. Although 022 looks very new, its fate can only be changed to the second line or even blocked. Moreover, after various exercises, it has been proved that the 022 missile boat is against modern warships, especially our imaginary enemy aircraft carrier formation.

First of all, the 022 missile boat has strong attack power, but weak defense. Once it is dispatched, it must make up its mind to die. It is basically a disposable consumable. The missile range of Eagle Strike 83 is about 180 km, but the warning and defense circle of the aircraft carrier is as high as 600 km. It's impossible to launch missiles near it!

It's a bit whimsical for missile boats to deal with aircraft carriers. For example, earlier this year, an American aircraft carrier entered the Persian Gulf, and a large number of Iranian missile boats went to interfere and simulate confrontation. The result was destroyed by a helicopter taking off from the United States outside the attack range. This is the reality! 022 also has no effective defense means, only a 630 anti-aircraft gun imported from Russia, and its defense force is almost zero!

In addition, because the missile boat 022 is too small, the ability to search for targets is extremely poor, and it must rely on the data link of system operations to provide support. It's really ideal to fight, but what if the plane in the sky is suppressed by carrier-based aircraft? 022 does not have the ability to fight independently at all. Even if he drives out, he is blind and deaf and has no fighting ability. If our plane can suppress American carrier aircraft, then the direct air force can kill the aircraft carrier, 022 is a bit redundant!

Third, the invisibility of 022 is only aimed at enemy warships. Once the other side's early warning aircraft takes off, any detected target will be screened many times. As a fishing boat, it is basically impossible to get away with it! And 022 is fighting by data link, and it needs to receive data from other platforms. Will this process soon expose its existence?

Over the years, 022 has participated in many confrontation exercises within the China system, and the results are not very good. In addition, in recent years, China has produced 60 056s in one breath, with the comprehensive combat capability being more than 10 times that of 022, and the endurance is stronger. They guard the coast around China's territorial waters for 400 nautical miles, which is much better than 022!

Although 022 has been in service for 15 years, although the news that 022 missile boat was sealed has not been confirmed, it is inevitable that the missile boat of this sci-fi high-speed wave-piercing catamaran will be pushed into the second line of the navy, and even it is not surprising that it was sealed, although this 80 missile boat is still very young.
