Chapter 140: Kirov-class nuclear-powered cruisers

"Now listen to my command, prepare the main ship's head, the position...distance..."

"Countdown to 5 seconds, 5!"

“4!”

“3!”

“2!”

“1!”

"fire!"

As the captain's voice gradually dropped, the 130mm main naval gun installed at the bow of the ship suddenly adjusted its muzzle direction and height. Then there was a loud "bang!" sound! The main naval gun suddenly shrank backwards!

At the same time, two huge shells were shot out from the gun at a speed that was hard to see clearly in the naked eye!

The amazing recoil made everyone in the captain's room visibly feel the entire destroyer vibrating.

The two shells fired out threw the smoke from the muzzle far behind. They drew two beautiful trajectories in the air, and then they rushed towards the four Haiyan-class frigates in front of them with the whistling sound of breaking through the air!

"Boom! Boom!"

Almost at the same time, two shells accurately hit the hull of a frigate.

The powerful explosion instantly penetrated the steel plate on the left deck of the frigate! The thick black smoke immediately floated out of the hull, indicating to everyone that the perfect hits of these two cannons.

When I saw the first gun of this ship, it did not deviate. The Ukrainian navy in the captain's room burst into cheers. If a joint military exercise of this scale fails to hit the "enemy ship", it will be very embarrassing. Moreover, the other party is still stopping there and waiting for them to fight.

If all this is wrong, it will be embarrassing to the international community...

"Beautiful job!" The captain praised the soldiers who controlled the main naval guns on the intercom.

As soon as he finished speaking, the three modern-class destroyers around him adjusted their muzzles and carried out fierce artillery fire strikes on the Haiyan-class frigate in front of him!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!Bang!"

Ma Wei, who was standing in the captain's room, looked out the window, and the fire-burning attacks of the sky and the 130mm caliber shells that kept firing out.

Some of them hit ships, causing huge damage to frigates. Some fell on the sea, causing huge waves.

The fish within the range of shells were blown to the ground. Although Ma Wei couldn't see this scene, as a person who had experienced it, he could imagine it.

After a bombing, smoke filled the deck of the destroyer. The four Haiyan-class frigates one kilometer away were destroyed by shells and were beyond recognition. They were only one last breath and sent to the bottom of the sea.

Mr. Yuan Kaimin and a group of naval generals looked at the scene in front of him with a little shock. Sure enough, the modern-class destroyers of Ukraine and Russia had a fierce firepower. When the shells exploded, even if they did not hit the hull, the waves that exploded were extremely spectacular...

"Mr. Yuan Kaimin, how do you feel when your army strikes the main guns of our destroyer just now?" Ma Wei asked the Chinese Navy with a smile.

"Very good." Mr. Yuan Kaimin only said these four words. The meaning is already very obvious, that is, he is very satisfied with the 956 destroyer.

"Thank you, praise. In addition to the two main guns at the head and tail of the ship, our modern class destroyer is also equipped with two sets of anti-submarine and anti-ship dual-purpose torpedo tubes with a caliber of 533 mm. During close-range sea combat, it can effectively penetrate enemy submarines or ships..."

Anti-submarine and anti-ship dual-purpose torpedoes are the standard configuration of Soviet destroyers. Although in modern warfare, they are gradually replaced by other weapons (such as anti-ship missiles, long-range precision strikes).

But this big killer still has a very important position in the hearts of old soldiers like Yuan Kaimin.

"533 caliber dual-purpose torpedo?" Mr. Yuan Kaimin asked Ma Wei with great interest.

The 533mm caliber torpedo can already be considered a heavy torpedo. Compared with the 324mm and 400mm torpedo, it is much more powerful. As long as you hit it, you can easily sank a 10,000-ton destroyer! The 6,000-ton ship, in front of the torpedo, can instantly explode into two pieces...

During World War II, the USS York City aircraft carrier and Japan's Yamato battleship were sunk by torpedoes. This thing either failed. Once it was hit, it would be a devastating blow to all ships and submarines in the sea!

"Yes, a 533 caliber heavy torpedo." Ma Wei replied truthfully. To be honest, he had never seen a torpedo launch, what it looked like. He had seen it in movies before, but it was all special effects made, and the real picture needs to be considered.

I remember in my previous life, Russia also developed a 1550mm giant nuclear torpedo with a range of up to 10,000 kilometers! One shot can directly destroy the entire New York! It also causes a huge tsunami...

However, just as Mavie was answering this, a 1144 Kirov-class nuclear-powered cruiser, guided by two tugboats, slowly sailed past the fleet where Mavie and theirs were.

The Kirov-class cruiser, with a full load displacement of more than 25,000 tons, is the largest cruiser in the world and is also nuclear-powered. The ship can carry more than 400 missiles and has more than 200 missile launch ports. Therefore, it is called arsenal ship and is a very terrifying surface monster.

When Mr. Yuan Kaimin and the naval officer behind him saw the ocean monster three times larger than the Type 956 destroyer, he slowly dragged it to the front of the fleet.

The expression on Mr. Yuan Kaimin's face was moved for the first time!

"That is a Kirov-class, nuclear-powered missile cruiser? Is it necessary to use a heavy torpedo to sank it?" Mr. Yuan Kaimin asked Mawei in surprise.

Even the old man was shocked, let alone the group of naval officers standing behind him. At this moment, he couldn't help but look shocked and whispered to discuss.

"The Russian Navy and the Ukrainian Navy are going to sank that nuclear-powered cruiser? This military exercise is too fierce!"

"It seems that the first time I have heard of a country's maritime military exercises and bombing nuclear-powered cruisers! I'm afraid Americans don't dare to do this!?"

...

Ma Wei listened to everyone's discussion and replied to the naval officers, "Yes, Mr. Yuan Kaimin, the one in front of you is the retired Kirov-class nuclear-powered missile cruiser. It is also the last part of this joint military exercise."

Rather than retiring, it is better to say that the nuclear reactor was blown up, there was no money to repair it, and it was parked in the port and waited for death for many years... This is the real reason for the nuclear-powered cruiser in front of him.

Of course, before dragging it, the nuclear reactor inside the hull had long been dismantled. So there is no need to worry about the harms of nuclear explosions, nuclear radiation, etc.
