The Linyi ship is a missile frigate with advanced performance commissioned by the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy in 2012. It is currently attached to the first detachment of the North Sea Fleet. The Linyi ship is a Type 054 guided missile frigate. It has strong long-range vigilance and anti-aircraft and anti-ship combat capabilities. It is also the most technologically advanced equipment in the current equipment sequence of our navy. The ship has a displacement of 4,000 tons, a top speed of 27 knots, and a cruising range of 4,000 nautical miles. The whole ship is equipped with a 76mm main gun, 2 4-mounted YJ-83 anti-ship missile launchers, 32-unit anti-aircraft missile vertical launchers, 2 triple-mounted anti-submarine torpedo launchers, 2 7-barrel close-in guns and 2 A 6-barrel rocket depth charge launcher. The helicopter hangar at the stern can carry a Z-9 carrier-based anti-submarine helicopter.
Since its commissioning, the Linyi ship has participated in many major naval missions.
On May 25, 2013, the Linyi ship, the guided-missile destroyer "Qingdao" and the comprehensive supply ship "Hongzehu" formed a high-sea training formation to go to the Western Pacific and other waters for high-sea training. The formation has successively conducted multi-subject actual combat exercises such as ship formation confrontation, submarine-to-air defense, and helicopter-guided over-the-horizon missile attack. The Linyi ship carried out ocean replenishment for the first time during the training. After completing the training, he returned via the Ohsumi Strait, which lasted 17 days and a total voyage of more than 5,000 nautical miles.
On August 20, 2013, the North Sea Fleet formation consisting of the Linyi ship, the guided-missile destroyer "Qingdao" and the comprehensive supply ship "Hongzehu" set sail from Qingdao to visit the United States, Australia and New Zealand. During the visit, the Linyi ship and others conducted a joint China-US maritime search and rescue exercise in the waters near Hawaii.
On April 23, 2014, the Linyi ship and other 19 ships from 8 countries including Pakistan, Indonesia, Singapore, India, Malaysia, Bangladesh and Brunei participated in the "Maritime Cooperation-2014" multinational "Maritime Cooperation-2014" on the Founding Day of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy. Joint maritime exercises.
On December 2, 2014, Linyi, the guided-missile frigate "Weifang" and the comprehensive supply ship "Weishanhu" formed the 19th escort taskforce of our navy and went to the Gulf of Aden and Somali waters to replace the 18th escort taskforce. Perform escort missions.
In March 2015, due to the sudden change of the political situation in Yemen, the Linyi ship and the Weifang ship of the same type 054 were transferred to Yemen to carry out the evacuation mission. On March 29, the Linyi ship carried the first batch of 122 Chinese nationals to the port of Djibouti, Republic of Djibouti. Two days later, the Weifang ship arrived with the second batch of Chinese nationals, and the Chinese navy successfully completed the evacuation mission. On April 1, 2015, the two ships resumed their escort mission in the Gulf of Aden.
On January 10, 2018, the latest trailer for the movie "Operation Red Sea" was released. Compared with the previous version, which focused on the behind-the-scenes of the filming, this version of the trailer has begun to show the audience's muscles, and the battle scenes are more intense. Hot, in addition to special warfare elites, tank duels, helicopters to suppress the ground, naval ships carry out air defense and land attacks, many exciting highlights in the movie have been released through the trailer, reminding everyone that this is not a hero of personal heroism It is a panoramic military-themed film with more modern warfare elements.
The biggest highlight of "Operation Red Sea" in the full-mode operation of naval frigates
is the joining of several modern combat ships of the Chinese Navy. Compared with the glimpse in "Wolf Warrior 2", where the missiles were fired at the last minute, the Chinese Navy's 054A guided missile frigate in "Operation Red Sea" can be regarded as an absolute star.
Although the overall plot has not been disclosed to the public, through the trailer, we can still sort out some contexts.
"Operation Red Sea" is based on the Chinese navy's evacuation of overseas Chinese to Yemen in 2013. This is also the first time that a Chinese warship has directly docked at a foreign port to carry out the evacuation mission. The Type 054 guided missile frigates Linyi and Weifang of our navy were responsible for the evacuation mission. The filming of "Operation Red Sea" was also directly supported by the Linyi ship, which had experienced the evacuation of overseas Chinese.
The Type 054 guided missile frigate is the backbone of the current Chinese naval equipment. It can both anti-ship and anti-submarine. It can set up an air defense firepower network for the ship formation, and can also conduct sea reconnaissance with radar with excellent performance. It is called Linyi. It is no exaggeration to say that ships are generalists at sea.
However, as a sharp knife at sea, if you don't really participate in the war, people can't know how powerful the Linyi ship is. Fortunately, through the virtual reproduction of the film, we can understand the true strength of the Linyi ship.
In the trailer, we can see that the Linyi ship used a total of three weapons, namely the 76mm main gun in the bow, the 7-barrel 30mm close-in gun system in the middle of the ship, and the Eagle Strike 83 anti-ship missile.
The 76mm main gun on the bow is a medium-caliber naval gun developed by our country, and has good combat capabilities on land and sea. The gun is an advanced artillery that can be operated fully automatically. It can be automatically fired with target parameters provided by the frigate's fire control radar, or it can be aimed through the photoelectric sighting system for semi-automatic shooting. Its maximum rate of fire can reach 134 rounds per minute. Compared with the 120 rounds per minute of the more advanced Italian Otto Merara 76mm naval gun in the world, our AK-176 is undoubtedly better.
There was once a video on the Internet, it is said that the 76mm naval gun was tested for high-speed continuous firing. I saw that the naval gun kept turning the turret, and the gun barrel pointed to different angles for continuous shooting. The video lasted for more than two minutes, and the shooting continued. Non-stop, no jams and other failures caused the shooting to stop during the period.
Don't underestimate the maximum rate of fire of 134 rounds. This also tests the coordination of multiple mechanical and electronic control components of the 76mm naval gun system when running at high speed. Any problems in any link will be fatal.
The 76mm naval gun also has a unique secret – as a weapon that mainly performs the task of suppressing land and sea targets, it can also perform air defense operations. By selecting the appropriate type of bomb and using the command of the fire control radar, a fragmentation barrier can be created on the flight path of the enemy's anti-ship missile to damage it.
If there are missiles that break through this barrier, it can be handed over to the 7-tube 30mm close-in gun system to handle. Military fans have a nickname for this close-in gun system - 730. The small-caliber near-air defense gun system is the last firepower fulcrum of the naval ship's air defense network. The targets assigned to it are generally anti-ship missiles or aerial bombs that are about to hit the ship, and the task can be described as very dangerous. The close-range gun is generally fully automatic through the fire control radar, and the processing of the target is often between milliseconds. After the fire control radar finds the incoming target, it quickly controls the naval gun to point in the direction of the incoming target. The maximum rate of fire of the 730 can reach 9000-11000 rounds per minute, and the range can reach 3000 meters. The formed barrage is denser than the 76mm naval gun, and it is not so easy for any missile to break through this barrier. Such a high rate of fire, according to relevant reports, is enough to intercept supersonic anti-ship missiles flying at Mach 4.
So in the trailer, I saw the picture of 730 spitting flames against the sky, not to mention how fun it is.
"It is not indecent to come and go." The 76mm naval guns and the 730 close-in defense guns are all intercepting tasks, intercepting the ammunition fired by terrorists at our naval warships. After a successful interception, it is natural to fight back. The last shot in the trailer is an anti-ship missile rushing out of the launch tube and heading straight for the terrorists. The Linyi ship is equipped with two quadruple-mounted Eagle Strike 83 anti-ship missile launchers. The YJ-83 is a new type of anti-ship missile developed on the basis of the YJ-8 anti-ship missile of my country's military industry. Compared with the Eagle Strike 8, its range is greatly improved, up to 150 kilometers. The solid rocket motor of the Eagle Strike 8 is replaced by a small turbojet engine. The most notable difference in appearance is the jet engine air intake on the projectile. Beyond visual range attacks are possible. The improved terminal-guided radar has strong anti-jamming capability; the warhead is more powerful, and the missile body is equipped with a data link transceiver antenna, which can receive information through the tactical data system, and can receive target indication signals during the cruise phase after launch.
The foreign trade export type of the Eagle Strike 83 is also a best-seller in the international arms market. Currently, it has been used by multinational armed forces such as Pakistan, Iran, Myanmar and Thailand.
However, after watching the trailer carefully, the author found that the missile launched in the movie is not YJ-83, but more like YJ-62 anti-ship missile in terms of appearance.
The Eagle Strike 62 is a high-subsonic long-range anti-ship missile. The biggest difference between it and the Eagle Strike 83 is the wing structure. The Eagle Strike 83 has a longer body with two sets of cross wings of different sizes in the middle and the tail, while the Eagle 62 has only a pair of foldable in-line wings in the middle of the projectile except for the small cross wings of the tail. The Eagle Strike 62 adopts the combination of relay guidance (early warning aircraft and ship radar) and active monopulse radar terminal seeker, and can be equipped with GPS or Beidou device to increase the navigation accuracy. Its range can reach 300 kilometers, which is more than the Eagle Strike. 83 times. Its warhead power can paralyze a 7,000-ton warship. The Eagle Strike 62 is mainly equipped with various types of guided missile destroyers of our navy type 052C and later.
In addition to the carrier type, the Eagle 62 also has a shore-to-ship type and an air-launched type. The range of its export C602 is also controlled within 280 kilometers, which is in line with the maximum range of 300 kilometers stipulated by international arms trade controls.
From about 12 seconds of naval combat in the second half of the trailer, we can see the classic combat mode of the Chinese Navy Linyi ship, especially to let ordinary audiences understand how the Type 054 guided missile frigate works.
