In 1997, China bought a destroyer for $4 million. What do you think of this?

It was very meaningful to buy modern destroyers in those days.

in April p>1993, a modern destroyer of the Russian Pacific fleet visited China. Due to the western arms embargo on Chinese mainland at that time, this modern destroyer was blinding us.

at that time, China's navy was claimed to be the third in the world, but its technical level was low, which was considered by the west to be the highest in Europe and America in the 197s.

the commander of the us navy even thinks that the PLA navy has almost no regional air defense capability, and once China and the United States go to war, warships can't leave the port at all.

if you leave the port by force, the naval battle between the United States and Iraq was a precedent. In 1988, relying on the advantages of carrier-based aircraft, the US Navy wiped out 5% of the large warships of the Iranian Navy in one morning, leaving itself unscathed.

due to the low air defense capability of the Iranian navy, warships are afraid to leave the port again.

many people think that the modern destroyer is purchased because it is equipped with a supersonic P-27 "Sandfly" quadruple anti-ship missile launcher with a maximum range of 12 kilometers.

The maximum speed of the missile is about Mach 2.5, and it has strong anti-ship capability, even against aircraft carriers.

But you should know that the Soviet Union's fight against the US aircraft carrier battle group is a combat system, including aircraft carriers, cruisers, missiles, carrier aircraft, land aircraft and even missile boats, which is very complicated.

The modern level is only one point at best. It is simply nonsense to rely on it to independently fight against aircraft carriers.

Besides, it was in the late 199s that we introduced the modern class, and the US military had already developed the Aegis system, so it was no problem to deal with a few sandflies.

actually, we mainly pay attention to its regional prevention and control ability when we introduce modern level.

the 9M38 anti-aircraft missile used in the M-22 system on modern ships has a maximum range of 3 kilometers, and the improved one is only 47 kilometers, which seems to be rubbish today.

However, in the 199s, it was already a very strong air defense capability for the PLA Navy.

at that time, the weakest of our warships was the maritime prevention and control capability.

the hongqi -61 air defense missile has been tossed for as long as 27 years before it is considered successful. Some military fans were angry at the time, saying that if she was an 18-year-old girl at first, she would be 45 years old after 27 years, and she was almost menopausal.

Although this remark is cheap, it is not crude. Is there anyone who studies weapons like this?

however, the Red Flag -61 was installed on the China Navy 53H2G frigate in batches in 1992.

this missile has poor performance, and its maximum range is only 1km.

It can be said that in the face of modern fighters, it is not even necessary to carry anti-ship missiles, and the Red Flag -61 can't be stopped.

it's 1 kilometers away, so don't stop a hair.

If you carry an anti-ship missile with a minimum range of 3-4 kilometers, the Red Flag -61 is totally for display, and there is no chance to fire at all.

the haihongqi -7 air defense missile is even more outrageous. It is a naval version of the French "Crotale" missile. However, using radio command guidance, it can only deal with one target at a time, and its accuracy is inferior, which can only be said to be slightly better than nothing.

if it is used in the field air defense of the army, it may be barely enough, but it is basically ineffective for the navy.

let's talk about it, this is 1996, not 1976. Look at the Falklands naval battle in the 198s. What did Argentina and Britain do?

the British naval fleet has such a strong prevention and control capability, as well as carrier-based aircraft, and it was still hit by Argentine naval attack aircraft.

at that time, the PLA navy only had this maritime air defense capability, but could it still go out to fight?

So, in any case, the modern class has greatly enhanced the air defense capability of the naval area, which is only immediate.

moreover, although the weapons of Vienna are rough, people are serious about fighting, and they will never engage in some face-saving projects.

Modern-class anti-ship missiles, air defense missiles, anti-submarine helicopters and even rapid-fire guns are all very practical, and some of them did not have similar products in China at that time.

naturally, the modern level was not advanced even in the 199s, and it is even more backward today.

however, in the 199s, to put it bluntly, even if China paid $4 billion for a ship, no country might be willing to sell it to you, and the west imposed an arms embargo on you and refused to sell any bullets.

it's not bad that the Russian is willing to sell you the modern class, and it will also have an immediate effect on the PLA navy.

this deal is very cost-effective.
