With the maturity of the old U.S. Navy's "Aegis" system and the formation of the F-14 "Tomcat" heavy-duty fighter jet and the AIM-54 "Phoenix" heavy-duty long-range air-to-air missile interception combination,

In the mid-1980s, the old U.S. Navy basically had the ability to intercept the P-500/SS-N-12 "Basalt" heavy long-range anti-ship missile.

This made the Mao Xiong Navy feel a great threat, so it upgraded its anti-ship missiles and developed the Mao Xiong Navy's most famous aircraft carrier killer P-700 Granite heavy-duty ultra-long-range supersonic anti-ship missile.

Based on the P-500 basalt missile, the P-1000 volcanic long-range anti-ship missile was developed.

The Granite anti-ship missile is the third type of anti-ship cruise missile designed by Mao Xiong Special Machinery Design Bureau. It was finalized in production in 1976 and began to be equipped on ships in 1979.

Compared with basalt anti-ship missiles, granite anti-ship missiles are more advanced and can not only be used on surface ships and submarines but can also be launched vertically.

In addition to its power, its performance is so high that European and American countries gave it the nickname "Shipwreck", which means that as long as the Granite anti-ship missile is launched, there will be only one result for the target, and that is the destruction of the ship and the loss of lives.

The Granite anti-ship missile code-named P-700 has been called a ship destroyer by European and American countries, so the code name is higher than Granite and the development time is later than Granite.

Not to mention the P-1000 anti-ship missile, which only started to be put on ships in 1989.

Because the P-1000 anti-ship missile, codenamed Volcanic Rock, has only served on the Glorious-class guided missile cruiser, its parameters are a mystery.

I just know that the volcanic anti-ship missile has been equipped with a new turbofan engine and missile attitude control system. Compared with the basalt anti-ship missile, it has a higher range and penetration capability.

It is said that the P-1000 anti-ship missile not only reaches a flight speed of Mach 3.5, but the key is its effective range, which is said to be more than 800 kilometers or even close to 1,000 kilometers.

This is a terrible number.

Because the combat radius of old American aircraft carriers is about 700 to 1,000 kilometers, that is to say, the Glorious-class guided missile cruiser equipped with P-1000 anti-ship missiles does not need to rush into the combat radius of old American aircraft carriers to carry out suicide attacks like before.

The attack can be launched in safe waters.

In other words, if the mainland can have anti-ship missiles comparable to the P-1000, it means...

Therefore, Lei Weidong waved his hand and agreed to General Hronopoulos' proposal.

"Brothers, this is the last time I call you this!" General Hronopoulos delivered a speech to the crew of the Black Sea Fleet through the radio.
