battle plans exposed! PLA simulated sinking two aircraft carrier battle groups

Dual-carrier battle group’s defensive deployment and fire system:

Combat aircraft, first of all to understand the deployment of an aircraft carrier battle group’s defense and fire system. Double aircraft carrier battle groups, for example, according to air (AAW), anti-submarine warfare (ASW), attack (STK), anti-ship (ASUW), amphibious warfare (AMW), mine warfare (MIW) and logistical support (LOC) and other 7 kinds of new operational model requirements, will be used as a formation method:
Total strength:
2 “Nimitz” class aircraft carrier, each aircraft carriers, each carrying one or two anti-submarine patrol aircraft unit (6 or 12 S-3B), and one or two anti-submarine helicopter wing (6 or 12 SH-60F);
6 “Ticonderoga” class cruisers Da Nang; each cruisers carrying two SH-60B anti-submarine helicopters,
8 “Arleigh Burke” class destroyers (I-type or type Ⅱ); each destroyers containing 1 or 2 SH-60B anti-submarine helicopters.
Four attack submarines ( “Sea Wolf”, “Los Angeles”, “Virginia” class);
Two special ammunition transport ship and the tender

1, the central core:
2 “Nimitz” class aircraft carrier and two special ammunition transport ship and the tender form the core of the entire fleet, two aircraft carriers parallel to the wind direction in the battle was on a parallel or echelon arrangement, spacing in a chain (185 m) to 5 chains (925 m) between the two supply ships in the carrier side of the rear to a chain of between 5 chains;
Anti-submarine fire system: aircraft carrier anti-submarine helicopters are usually deployed in front of the aircraft carrier from the carrier 11 ~ 15 nautical miles.
Anti-aircraft fire system: 3 “Sea Sparrow” air defense missile systems, the total volume of 72 Bei Tan, 4 “Phalanx” close combat weapon system

2, inner zone defense circles:
Formation of four anti-aircraft guided missile cruisers, four destroyers deployed in the core of the external ring-shaped 8-10 nautical miles, each ship spacing 4 – 5 nautical miles, using circular shift can be deployed to ensure motor carrier when the formation and stability, the formation of anti-aircraft ring is not to create gaps.
Anti-aircraft fire system:
1, in accordance with the high air requirements, configure the 440 “standard” anti-aircraft missile (per 110 anti-aircraft missile cruisers, and 12 Tomahawk) in the distance to intercept incoming aircraft and missiles.
2, target close to about 15 kilometers away from the fleet, you can use about 192 “NATO Sea Sparrow” point defense missiles and about 20 dual-purpose gun Gaoping intercept.
3, the last one anti-aircraft anti-missile defense by about 16 sets of “Phalanx” near anti-weapons systems and electronic warfare systems RBOC formed a “dense array” may 100 ~ 200 meters to intercept low-altitude sea-skimming targets in the end.

3, anti-aircraft anti-submarine barrier outsiders are within the zone.
4 anti-submarine destroyers and convoy ships (in accordance with a cruiser and three destroyers configuration) was deployed in the semi-Park-shaped formation in front of 20-25 nautical miles from the core purpose is to sneak into enemy submarines within the zone interception in the use of weapons Torpedo distance (20 — 40 km), the distance between the various anti-submarine deep under the conditions in the general temperature of about 15-26 nautical miles.
Anti-submarine fire system:
Ge Jian brought in within a battle group of about 220 MK46, MK44 torpedoes, and 160 “ASROC” (ASROC) anti-submarine missiles capable of 10 km of the enemy submarine attack.
Fourth, the pre-out air defense zone
Access to high threat areas or early-warning aircraft were reported to have made clear the direction of the enemy air threat, the formation of anti-aircraft air defense commanders may send two ships along the direction of a threat to 20-30 knots as the outer air defense missions, fleet air defense and sometimes may serve as the command ship.
Anti-aircraft fire system:
1, in accordance with the high air requirements, configure the 110 “standard” medium-range air defense missile intercept incoming aircraft and missiles.
2, target close to about 15 kilometers away from the fleet, you can use about 48 “NATO Sea Sparrow” point defense missiles and about 20 dual-purpose gun Gaoping intercept.
3, the last one anti-aircraft anti-missile defense by about 16 sets of “Phalanx” near anti-weapons systems and electronic warfare systems RBOC formed a “dense array” may 100 ~ 200 meters to intercept low-altitude sea-skimming targets in the end.

5, the anti-submarine warfare zone configuration
100 nautical miles away from the carrier at the front of the deployment of two attack submarines, as a formation of anti-submarine front and flank guard or the implementation of the regional anti-submarine, and a formation 30 miles behind the deployment of a nuclear attack submarine, the boat chase in case the enemy attacks. Another attack submarine, a formation of 3-4 days prior to sail cover in advance must be rushed to the formation of arteries through the throat zone to carry out reconnaissance or pre-set stand-by alert, drive submarine operations in order to protect the safety of underwater formations, master route on the tactical situation and standby area.

6, outer zone air defense and anti-ship configuration
At 165 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier from the F-14, F/A-18, or EA-6B as a combat air patrols (CAP), generally use the two-aircraft formation, mainly on the air, as the leading edge broke into the preparation to intercept enemy forces. At the same time, F/A-18 both anti-ship missions, ready to meet with the EA-6B aircraft carrier battle groups close to the eradication of the small vessels of the enemy. In particular, various types of high-speed missile attack boats;
200-250 km away from the aircraft carrier is usually deployed aircraft, E-2C early warning aircraft 1-2 may apply to the entire fleet air defense and anti-ship weapon system to provide early warning and target instructions, and the right in the zone and the outer zone of the aircraft in command of all the blank control, at 325 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier, generally with 1-3 CAP, from 2-5 aircraft as F-14 air patrols, their task is destroy the enemy fighters seeking to ensure the air; second is to protect the area against long-range early-warning aircraft and the outer the safety of aviation anti-submarine forces, the three is to eliminate all the invading aerial targets, in particular the attack aircraft and cruise missiles,

7, anti-submarine outside the zone configuration
Formation of long-range aviation anti-submarine missions from shipboard and shore-based S-3B as a P3C, operational distance of typically 350-400 km, P3C operational range of greater than could be up to 1,000 kilometers. These two types of anti-submarine aircraft will each carry a “Harpoon” anti-ship missiles, can double as anti-ship force, while being on patrol in the F-14 cover.

Analysis:
1, the above high state of defense under the two-carrier battle group to configure all the defense forces, in addition to ships outside, there are two early-warning aircraft and at least three anti-air warfare patrol formations and formation of an anti-submarine combat patrols in a total of eight carrier-based aircraft and two helicopters involved in defense patrols, patrol formations in accordance with the rotation a day three times in different terms, a total of 24 carrier-based aircraft and six helicopters, as a defensive patrols. Each aircraft carrier to set aside 20 aircraft used to control air and air defense penetration operations, according to each carrier carrying 90 aircraft, computing, pairs of aircraft carrier battle groups for offensive combat against a total of 116 aircraft, each vessel 58.
2, with high anti-aircraft defense state analysis, Tomahawk and Standard missiles, according to the proportion of 12:110 configuration is used on land and on the number of cruise ship hit 96;
Analysis of the outer ring battle group’s defensive and offensive projections:
E 1 2C early warning aircraft normally deployed in aircraft carrier battle groups in front of 200 kilometers, or a 22.5-degree left and right side in front of 250 kilometers of a single early warning aircraft can cover the distance from the aircraft carrier’s inner circle in front of 600 km is calculated as the front range of 800 kilometers in depth, double early warning configuration can cover the front of the 600 km depth, 1,200 km a positive range.
Early-warning aircraft of the most outer 325 kilometers away from the core of the CAP aircraft fleet distance from the edge of an early warning circle 275 km, from our early-warning aircraft and a reconnaissance before the enemy found the edge of an aircraft carrier on patrol outside the plane, I early-warning aircraft from the aircraft carrier’s inner circle distance of 725 kilometers, early-warning aircraft from a distance of 525 kilometers the other side, a guard from the enemy fleet before the 675 kilometers, are a direct attack on the enemy’s aircraft carrier battle groups from the edge of the battle, and there are 125 km will not be the enemy early-warning aircraft found a safe distance. I will continue to pre-early-warning aircraft 50 kilometers out of the enemy patrol to combat formations to lock and call.
I spent a total of:
Early-warning aircraft, two, two-aircraft formation 5, patrol, and patrol against the enemy;
The first batch of 40-to-ship combat aircraft, each carrying four long-range anti-ship missiles for use against enemy ships before a warning;
The first air combat aircraft 100, for air cover operations;
The second batch of the air combat aircraft 100, for the air cover for operations;
The overall situation in deduction and loss analysis:

1: Assault patrol
I have found that early-warning aircraft, the enemy patrol fleet and direction, I can direct our early-warning aircraft, fighter, first in three two-aircraft formation from three directions and penetrated to conduct operations, the former after a 125 km distance from the enemy’s early warning aircraft, 400 kilometers away from the enemy’s Patrol formation 275 km, in accordance with 1300KM / H of the plane’s speed and 500 m / s velocity of the missile:
Against the enemy, engaged the state, 6 minutes, when both the relative distance of 150KM and interchangeable lock fired, according to 1:1.5 of the offensive and defensive injuries, our loss of three of the enemy was wiped out a patrol formation; the enemy to retreat, I have five patrol fleet in the two continued to patrol and protect the early-warning aircraft, and the other three formations to advance on the enemy’s early warning aircraft.

Second, attack early warning aircraft to force it to shrink
As the enemy retreated to wait for the rescue fleet, the aircraft carrier before a mid-level air defense circle 30 miles (55 kilometers) of the two ships carrying anti-aircraft medium-range missiles effective range 110 km, so that is 165 kilometers at a position of relative safety early warning, early warning aircraft, retreat 85 km time was 4 minutes;

Third, prior to the attack a guard fleet
If I fly to the enemy ships before a guard in front of 280 kilometers, in the enemy outside the effective range of the missile defense launch anti-ship missiles, early warning aircraft from being fired discovery to practice, I have the aircraft total flight distance of 190 km, flight time of 9 minutes, according to Missile 500 m / s flight speed, the missile flight nine and a half minutes, before a ship 110 pairs of standard 48 Sea Sparrow missiles and defense 4:1 ratio, can defend against 40 anti-ship missile attack.
I have a two-aircraft formation of various ordnance four terms, five formations carried out 40 against one of the missiles could be ruined before his two-out ship missile defense system, after being fired leave the battlefield, this time the distance was found to 9 minutes;
The second wave of half a minute after being hit against the first wave to start the formation according to the guidelines of the former out of the remaining two ships firing their anti-ship missiles, launchers after the withdrawal of the battlefield, this time the distance was found to nine and a half minutes;
The first 19 minutes, the former a guard-ships were sunk or damaged.
I attacked the first two waves of troops and my first batch of fighters played the first nine and a half minutes leave the battlefield, this time the flight distance of 670 kilometers, from the early-warning aircraft found that I start to aircraft carriers to reinforce the time, according to the aircraft carrier take-off 4 per minute frame basis, the take-off distance of 100 km away from the enemy’s early warning aircraft locks onto the target can be calculated according to the enemy off the aircraft to leave the inner circle of 200 km and 135 km from my aircraft, the first aircraft to reach 4; calculate a carry four air to air missiles, fired a total of 16, was released after disturbance I 1 / 2 hit, our loss of eight aircraft, this batch return formation.

4, interception against
The rest of my plane was returning, this time provided assistance to the system of air-combat fighter in the 100 under the guidance of two AWACS base in front of the theater into my engaged, in our cooperation with land-based air defense forces, sub-height, hollow, low-altitude fighter planes to intercept enemy and combat, as enemy out of the core outsiders before the 700-800 km range, I sent the second batch of 100 air fighters deployed, depending on the formation of the fight in the first case first roundabout in preparation for their return believers in the 500KM Office finding its tanker fleet to fight, and its flight path to block them in the wrangle with the fuel consumption caused by land failure may occur, if possible, I followed a small amount of formation in order to close a tendency to follow the enemy return, If necessary, to die for their carrier to resolve the devastating blow.

War Loss Analysis:
1, in accordance with the third step in calculating the end of the enemy began to retreat, our side lost eight fighters fired 160 anti-ship missiles, hitting an enemy cruisers, destroyers, a (temporarily sank to determine an injury).
2, such as enemy air retaliation, while firing Tomahawk missiles, land-based airport for me to fight, according to my collaboration with ground-based air defense forces and aircraft battle damage, I calculated the ratio 1:1.5, I have 200 aircraft and annihilated , destroyed 133 enemy aircraft failed to crack down on their aircraft carrier itself, the enemy to carry 100 Tomahawk missile launchers, in my anti-aircraft missiles, anti-aircraft fire hit the block, and electronic interference rate for one quarter, a total of 25 hit the target, I will certainly result in the loss. (This may be almost not, because when the U.S. fleet of 133 aircraft lost, I will squeeze the Department of the Air Force, in addition to the use of enemy anti-aircraft missiles with a range anti-ship missile saturation attack, near zone 632 air defense missiles and aircraft carrier stowage 72 anti-aircraft missiles to intercept in accordance with 4:1, I need to use breaking anti-200 anti-ship missiles, after which point the remaining thing is to kill, and the calculation then 100 anti-ship missiles.)
[B] to amend the proposal, as well as battle damage re-evaluation:
1, firing anti-ship missiles fly fighter planes, but the early-warning plane and away from the core area of 400 km enemy guided missile attack, so the first batch of formation should be away from the core area of the enemy at 280KM to 330KM against the enemy aircraft carriers of the nine and a half to 10 minutes, is equal to the enemy early warning aircraft from the discovery of the first 9 minutes to the first 19 minutes are fighting to protect early-warning time, according to the enemy per minute for each carrier to take off four, flight 200KM enough to launch a range of long-range strike nine and a half to fly minutes or so, the withdrawal from the war to fight a total of 10 minutes can be put into 80 enemy aircraft in attacks, the two sides without the support of the ground fire, according to my battle with the enemy’s loss calculation of the exchange of 2.5:1 and want to destroy an enemy before a ships need to be first, second batch of fighters suddenly before the block, and the need for additional 100 fighters in my area of effective air defense with the second interception;
2, after the enemy fighters destroyed 80 enemy offensive forces consumed more than half, the same will be transferred to defense, our military use the same saturation attack anti-ship formation-breaking of its missile defense system operational, or the enemy fighters bring up the rear, formation of rapid retreat. With the original text is slightly different enemy combat losses reduced from 133 to 80.

Based on the above analysis, to achieve this operation, there are several necessary conditions:
First, our military aircraft and land-based combat radius, that is the core area of the airport to the aircraft carrier within a distance of 1000KM to calculate out the warning before the formation of a distance of 50 kilometers, as well as the maximum range of 280 km missile YJ, I am flying in formation 700 to 800KM of fighting within a radius of a warning to its fleet before the attack, as I step Xisha control and defense, in the preparation Xisha tanker out in the pre-or post-war fighter aircraft for aerial refueling support, I control the scope of the South China Sea can be achieved from the Xi Shaji for the radius within the 600 to 700KM, as I was able to recover and to defend the Nansha Islands and control, places the Hainan-based base, intermediate base Xisha, Nansha, a base for the former can be realized within a radius of 700KM Before the Spratly Islands control of;
Second, as I was able to control the base of the Nansha Islands, Sai Sha enhance the tanker fleet stationed, you can make Lingshui, Foshan, Guangdong, a military airport increased combat radius 1,500 km, can carry out supporting air over the Nansha Islands, while the enemy’s aircraft carrier battle group formations retreated to a radius of 1,000 meters outside of the Nansha Islands and its aircraft carrier battle groups will I lose the fight against the mainland, as well as Xisha and control.
Third, if the enemy aircraft carrier battle group to change the formation, in front of 30 miles do not set out before the fleet, then the enemy’s early warning aircraft and patrol the defensive formation of the same contraction 50KM range, in front of nuclear submarines also need to retreat 50KM, switch to a defensive posture in blockade of the South China Sea, using Tomahawk missiles, as well as the Spratly Islands to my home to fight, as well as the use of long-range strategic bombing of the Chinese mainland to combat. This will evolve into another kind of war model, in the subsequent articles were discussed.
