In Real Scenario, Type 055 would Launch YJ-18 first then YJ-21. So both will arrive in the same time from space (YJ-21) & sea level (YJ-18). YJ-21 also have Maneuvarable warhead, not conventional like potrayed in this simulation 🇨🇳
@@RadicalFloat_95 - lol. Funny enough, I have been out of the Genshin community since 1.6 (been playing since 1.3), but I do play regularly still.

The HHQ-9 on the type 055 has the special capability of firing blind then guided to the target by the AWACS. That is the reason for its super long range and put on the huge 9m VLS cell

From an aesthetic standpoint, the Chinese have made an impressive-looking monster of a ship in the form of the 055. Now that this battle ended in a stalemate, what happens to all of the placed bets?
@@zhangyi5145 No, the US arms industry sells things to the US for a profit, Chinese arms industry only gets profit from exports not from selling to the Chinese government.
The YJ21 is being largely underestimated in the video. According to the V2 in the WWⅡ，V2 re-enter atmosphere speed was 1200 m/s while the speed of hitting the ground was 600 ms/s. The YJ21 has a re-enter atmosphere speed of 10-12 mach and a much more advanced design than V2, it can reach 5-6 mach easily when it hit the target. The momentum is already enough to destory a ship without considering its warhead's penatration blast.
I think YJ-21 capabilities, along with a lot of other Chinese military hardware, are greatly overhyped by CCP. CCP lies more than Russian MOD. It’s hard to tell how good any Chinese hardware is, even though I’m sure some of it is actually as good as they say.
@@minitaco3367 I did not draw this information from any western sources. I simply used simple deduction and the transitive property to ascertain that because the CCP has been caught lying about capabilities before, and since they have an incentive to overhype the YJ-21 (scare and deter Americans), they are likely lying about its capabilities in some capacity. I urge you not to take the CCP at face value, same as you shouldn't take any government at face value.
Something rarely discussed is the difference between exhaust vent of US Mk-41 and Chinese GB5860 VLS. Mk-41 are 8-packed with 8 cells sharing a common exhaust port, while GB5860 uses a CCL design where every cell has its own vent. Aside from supporting both hot and cold launch, a big benefit of CCL is it avoids vent overheating when launching in rapid succession. On Mk-41 there has to be a cooling delay between launching from two cells sharing the same vent, which places a upper limit on firing rate, this limit does not exist with Chinese CCL cells giving it a much faster rate of launch.
Nope mk41 are only single packed. The Chinese VLS which are much larger could actually be quad packed. Also Chinese VLS is also dual cold and hot launched.
Just a minor correction: 8 are currently launched, tested and commissioned, of which 5 had undergone qualification and deemed qualified for high intensity situations.
Both of those trajectories would not be different. After completing its last reentry, both of those trajectories are in terminal free fall. The YJ-21s are shot down in the terminal phase. It only makes mid-course interception hard, which is irrelevant for terminal defense. In fact, using boost glide bleeds off far more energy, so terminal interception is easier. Gliding increases time under drag, leading to a much lower final velocity, making it easy to pick off with high-energy ESSM interceptors.
@@boydrobertson2362 1 Qian Xuesen trajectory will have lower flying altitude than Sanger trajectory. Hypersonic flight below the Carmen line which means very short interception time and small interception window. 2 Sanger trajectory is a Bouncing trajectory or Water drift trajectory. Because of the flight altitude, it is easier to be warned, But because of the trajectory. It is difficult to be intercepted in the middle. and yes. compare to the Qian Xuesen trajectory. theoretically it is more easy to be intercepted in the end. 3 YJ21 use Sanger trajectory. not first push then glide that way. For improve the terminal penetration capability, the warhead have power source that could make the warhead at Mach10 in the end. YJ21 that number 2 means two-stage boostery. 4 To US military. sm6 maybe have the chance to counter YJ21 but the interception success rate is far lower than pac3-er. but not for US Navy. 5 My personal view is that the computer software and interception control rate of existing air defense system not enough to deal with hypersonic missiles. They all need to upgrade 6 Till today. The United States does not have any hypersonic missiles that can be used in actual combat. or enter service . The fastest hypersonic missile project is lrhw from the US Army. The CPS program of the US Navy is waiting for the modification of DDG1000 class destroyers and Virginia class nuclear submarines. As for the ARRW project of the US Airforce and HAWC of the northrop grumman. They have just entered the development stage of practical weapons, need time to wait
@@LyuChen94 The software certainly needs to improve because success rate of interception is far too low to win naval engagement, that is certain. My only issue is that the idea of Hypersonic weapons is the simple issue of drag. To be clear, I don't believe SM-6 is effective against Hypersonic glide-style weapons because hypersonics have such high total kinetic energy during the boost-glide phase. The SM-6 would need a much higher delta-v and likely, more mass. But I don't see how hypersonic glide weapons even equal the interception difficulty of hyperbolic, free fall ballistic missiles. Assuming Hypersonic aren't as difficult as ballistic missiles, ESSM should be able to intercept. As the altitude of the glider decreases, the drag force increases exponentially, and as the missile maneuvers more, it's drag increases. Even if you glide at the most energy conserving trajectory for you're altitude, you're drag is still higher. Hyperbolic ballistic missiles are typically impacting the target at mach 2-3 due to drag. If a Hypersonic weapon is down to Mach 1-2 at terminal phase, I would bet on ESSM. I think the Hypersonic have a range that they can't be intercepted because they have a lower flight time that allows a nice, low and fast terminal phase. If a missile that has a terminal phase rocket motor that accelerates the missile as it gets closer, I could see that being hard to defeat, but a simple free fall HGV style weapon is little better than normal missiles in the terminal phase.
@@boydrobertson2362 the missile like ICBM SLBM HGV（DF17 arrw avanguard 3m22?） HCM （HAWC 3m22?）or biconical hypersonic missile（DF26 YJ21 LRHW KH47m2 CPS）. Their terminal phases strike mode is same. The difference is that the trajectory is different. Especially hgv and hcm. These two missiles can plan the trajectory within the effective range. They are more like aircraft， They can choose to use a tricky angle. And execute the strike with great speed. Resistance is need to solve at the stage of weapon model research. When the weapon has been actually developed, resistance will no longer be a problem. Both hypesonic missile has One common characteristic is that lift can be used. To some extent. Is also using resistance. It's just that the way of using the lift of the biconical missile is relatively simple， I can tell you that the terminal speed of all type of hypersonic missiles can be maintained above Mach 5. HGV's terminal rocket booster can be added as needed like YJ21. I think maybe DF17 has one. ARRW doesn't have. I'm sure YJ21's terminal speed is Mach10. the PLA has released the information. the middle phase speed is Mach 6. So I don't think the US Navy has the ability to intercept hypersonic missiles now. Not only the software needs to be upgraded. even hardware change a new one and also Interceptor's warhead needs to be change to deairectional blasting warhead with direct force control technology. In the existing equipment of the United States. I think only Pac3-er missile maybe have the chance to intercept the Biconical missile just because the altitude is higher than HCM and HGV. pac3-er is a fast missile with direct force control system, the range of pac3 is not enough. Basically, most interceptors in the United States are not fast. In general, this is an era when swords are stronger than shields. the US haven't this sword yet. I forgot told you the DF17 is very cheap. like tomahawk . about the ESSM. I do believe this is a advanced missile. But Americans don't use it to intercept hypersonic missiles
That's really really sweet, I've been waiting for the 055 for so long. I just got 2 points to make: 1) I think it would be more accurate to also model the HHQ16 which is a medium range SAM. I don't think a 055 would carry so many long range HHQ9B's, it would be more of a mix between the 2. Also it is said the HHQ16 can be quad packed in the large VLS cells of the 055 like ESSMs. 2. The Y-18 cruises in subsonic speeds in sea skimming mode and only in the terminal phase it uses a booster to accelarate to about 2-3 mach. Here it looked like it kinda followed a ballistic trajectory and was supersonic the whole time which is inaccurate.
No, HHQ16 missile will not appear in the VLS of 055 for two reasons, 1. 055 class destroyer is usually the command core of the entire fleet, it will be located in the center of the air defense network, medium range air defense missiles can not provide effective defense for the entire fleet; 2. HHQ16 is a semi-active missile, which requires a specific illuminating radar, and this illuminating radar has only been observed on 054A frigates. Even the 052D, which is smaller than the 055, does not have such illuminating radar. Due to the limited number of illumination channels, the number of targets HHQ16 can attack at the same time is also very limited, which is a very big weakness for the 055's ability to resist saturation attack. And the evidence is that so far we have never seen the 052D or 055 launch HHQ16 in any of the exercises, quite the contrary, we can only see the more expensive HHQ9 missile launch practice. This is very illogical, if you are more heavily equipped with cheap missiles, you will not practice only with expensive missiles.
And as for the second point, you got it wrong yourself. The "supersonic ballistic missile" you see is not the YJ18 you think it is, but the latest anti-ship ballistic missile YJ-21, which is supersonic throughout and is in fact hypersonic. The real YJ-18s only started to show up from 18:08
@@hamstermomoco ok valid points. I feel tho that the 055 should have some mid-range quad packed SAM to defend against saturation attacks. Shooting HHQ9B's at everything doesn't seem like the best option.
Idk the AESA radars have a pretty fast refresh rate, plus sm3's alone are specifically designed for ballistic missiles like these let alone sm6's and sm2's
@timmyhoward6638 Since it is impossible to catch up with hypersonic missiles, it can only attack at preset points. This requires the ability to calculate the precise trajectory of the attacking missile in advance. This is how sm6 and sm2 intercept ballistic missiles. You have to ambush on the opponent's trajectory in advance. You only have one time chance. However, parabolic ballistics are a technology of the 1960s, new hypersonic missiles such as DF17 or YJ21. They use maneuverable ballistics or even unpredictable ballistics, such as Qian Xuesen's water-drifting ballistics. This means that there is currently no means, or even theory, to intercept such missiles.
YJ-21 is terminal velocity mach 10. SM-6 max speed is mach 3.5. Unlikely SM-6 can intercept YJ-21. It takes 5 seconds from you see YJ-21 as a single pixel in the sky to impact.
China's most latest ASBMs are believed to include daylight/infrared imaging seeker to help the radar seeker, which renders most electronic counter measures useless. As reported their R&D team successfully developed innovative cooling solution to cool down the optical window under super high temperature incurred by the missile's super high flying speed. They also made sure that the seeker's AI algorithm can accurately identify the intended targets, as shown in a test using a Japanese E-767 mockup as target.
As much as you want to be a fanboy - the missiles are coming straight at the ship and reflecting radar. Unless they came right under the horizon - all systems are automatic You don't need to be fast if you're facing the missile head on - and calculating trajectory is no problem even at mach 10 for today's computers.
interception isnt about speed. You just need a warhead that is effective at taking out an asbm, even the older burke computers can easily calculate trajectory of a missile and find multiple intercept points, thats why burkes toss plenty of missiles out for every one they are trying to intercept. Plus capabilities are multiplied in real life with how AEGIS works together with the whole battle group which isnt properly and cant be properly represented in game.
@@alexanderchen6373 Fun fact: hypersonic missiles CAN be intercepted. You know why? Because they're not agile. They can't maneouver, and they can only come from a certain angle. Which MEANS they're predictable, especially if they come from orbit, where ANY radar can see them. You see? It's not hard to give facts instead of saying "Do your own research".
Awesome job CH and Cap! I’m finally getting a computer that can run DCS because of this show! That “chaff” counter measure system is a little much, but still really good to see new ships. Can’t wait to see the 052D and the FFG 62.
Tried 055 vs Ticons scenario in the *hardcore* "Command: Modern Operations", and these YJ21s performed miserably, missing basically all in multi slavoes against single US CSG. Until I checked it out in database viewer and saw the parameters the dev team had set for them. Sensors: Surface radar, late 1970s technology. LOL, you could jam it with a hairdryer.
YJ-21 reportedly has a side optical window for an infrared imaging sensor, combined with its active/passive radar seeker. To cool down the infrared seeker they also developed a special air cooling system which uses high pressure airflow. So when YJ-21 is diving and also decelerating at terminal phase, it will fly a wiring orbit which allows the side infrared imaging sensor to assist or even drive the homing process towards the target. So normal electromagnetic interference won't be effective.
I feel that the countermeasure system is very overpowered considering it is supposed to represent chaff. Missiles can resist chaff and with this countermeasure it seems to be a 100% p/k. Also would like to note that the antiship cruise missiles are subsonic in the terminal phase.
Depends - the Type 055 is a very modern destroyer and there's not a ton of Open Source information about exactly what kind of countermeasures it uses. It very well could utilize Active Decoys similar to what the US/Australia/Canada use in NULKA or the UK uses in the Sea Gnat's Siren round. Those are much more effective against modern missiles than simple passive chaff.
Hey Cap! Amazing work! Congrats to the mod devs for making an amazing mod! I'd just like to suggest that if the 055 has countermeasures, then the Arleigh Burkes should also get its decoys which include the Mk 36, which is a typical chaff launcher, the Nulka, which is a decoy that hovers in midair while decoying enemy missiles, and the Mk 59, which is a floating decoy designed to mimic the radar return of ships and can float for up to 3 hours. I think the decoys can be simulated by spawning more non-functional ships which can be sinked by 1 hit and cant fire their own weapons.
In China, the students are now quoting US President Truman: it is better to use nukes to reduce the costs of an amphibious landing in Taiwan. And let's face it, the US won't risk having a nuclear exchange in China on behalf of some puppet regime in Taiwan
1 major error and 2 minor changes that should be made, The yj18 is a 2 stage missile with a subsonic cruise mode and a mach 2.5 terminal mode, It flies subsonic at sea skimming level until it gets within about 20 or so km before the tip of it breaks off and goes supersonic. the type 055 can carry short range VLS missiles as well like the FM3000n with around 30km of range and can be quadpacked. the countermeasures are definately overpowered, they're basically an additional 4 shortrange RIM launchers. Thats stupidly unrealistic in effectiveness.
I think you guys wrongly loaded the data of yj12 to jy18, yj12 is a supersonic missile with a range of 380km, and yj18 accelerates to supersonic speed only at the end, and the rest is in subsonic flight in exchange for greater range, even the conservative data yj18 It also has a range of more than 500km.
055's drogue system is currently the world's largest in service, with a diameter of 850mm and a depth of 9 meters. HHQ9B is used as a long-range air defense missile, but in actual use it is impossible to install all long-range missiles, carrying HHQ16 a launch hole can carry 4, only 32 launch holes can carry 128.
The reason that hypersonic missiles are scary is because they can be maneuvered. If the mod can do that, I doubt that all of those countermeasures are even able to shoot down one yj21
China touts the DF-17 and other of it’s missiles as “highly maneuverable” and being “unable to shoot down.” The missile functions quite similarly to a ballistic missile, where it is boosted into the atmosphere, and then comes down on a target, albeit more maneuverable. However, there are some issues with this. When coming down from atmosphere, it must slow down to avoid burning up. Suddenly, the super-fast projectile is traveling much slower, and is much easier to intercept. Another issue brought up is launch. Since the missile goes so fast, it requires a huge engine. What do big engines produce? A LOT of heat. Any launches would quickly be detected by satellites and sensors. In addition, the claim of “plasma stealth” is complete propaganda rubbish. Modern radar easily will see the missile. Plasma sheathing is primarily reflective, meaning that it will actually BLOCK communications and control to the missile, leaving it unguided. We saw the same thing happen when the space shuttle returned to earth and experienced a communication blackout. If Infrared sensors were used on front of the missile, they would simply melt due to the high temperatures from the speed. No signal or communication, no control for the missile. Not so maneuverable anymore. While at higher altitudes the missile can be cooled due to the lower temperatures and thinner atmosphere, when the missile has to “go in” to actually hit the carrier or boat, it won't be able to maneuver due to extreme temperatures. Lastly, I’d like to discuss defensive measures against such missiles. The US Navy Arleigh Burke Destroyers as well as Ticonderoga Cruisers are built around aegis fleet defense. These boats utilize the AN/SPY-1 Radar for guiding missiles for intercepting missiles and ballistic missiles. The Aegis’s SPY-1D(v) radar “can detect golf ball-sized targets at ranges in excess of 165 km.” This statement was made in context with SPY-1D(v)’s ability to detect mortar rounds & artillery shells. Golf ball = 0.0025 m^2. For a direct comparison if you scale SPY-1D’s range to 0.4 m^2 target, then it corresponds to 587 km - that’s 2.3 times the range of S-400 (91N6E). Simply said, the SPY-1 will be detecting the DF-17 or other hypersonic missile from several hundred if not thousand kilometers away. In a 2014 test, USS John Paul Jones (DDG 53) with Aegis Baseline 9 engaged an exo-atmospheric ballistic missile with SM-3 Block IB while engaging 2 low-altitude cruise missiles near-simultaneously. Just one of many times when Aegis demonstrated the extent of diverse targets it can handle simultaneously. The SM-6 Dual I has a range between 370-460 km and is capable of engaging almost any endo-atmospheric target from sea-skimming cruise missiles, tactical aircraft to maneuverable ballistic missiles in their terminal stage. Another advantage of Aegis is the Cooperative Engagement capability (NIFC-CA). SM-6’s two-way datalink allows E-2D or F-35 to provide Over the Horizon targeting capability. The SM-6 have engaged OTH cruise missiles solely relying on targeting data from E-2D and F-35. It’s one thing to share data between airborne and ground radars but a whole lot different to have airborne platforms taking over Targeting. Simply put, all the Chinese have is a slightly more agile and controllable ballistic missile. It is nothing new. The defenses that the missile is going up against, as well as all the factors against the missile really prevent it from being the supposed “game changer” that it is. These missiles will not force the US to leave the South China sea. If anything, we are seeing a continued buildup of American forces. If the PLAN does try something foolish, it is assured that the U.S. response will be quite forceful. B-52's, B-2's, B-1's, and whole carrier wings will roll over the missiles China lobs at our carriers. Beware the carrier group…
@@TeoDP7 I believe the US is underselling their hardware while China is overselling theirs. Beside what you already stated, the US Navy/military is still working on many ways to counter China/Russia such as drones, remote ships, and laser. In short, China has only one chance to get it right while the US has the capacity to lose 1-2 carriers and still effective.
@@TeoDP7 To make matters even bleaker for the Chinese most of the flight III destroyers are going to be upgraded to AN/SPY-6, and all new ships have are going to have it as well
I'm no military expert but that simulated countermeasure seems a bit cheaty. From what I've seen, at least in DCS, chaff is only effective like 5%-10% of the time. Idk how accurate that is to real life but it seemed WAY too overpowered here. Other than that I really enjoyed this and am looking forward to the future war games with this!
It's funny to notice every major naval arms manufacturer now have similar main mast designs in recent defense expo, just a few year back it's all about F-III cloth hangers.
Not sure I understand how the chaff launchers have been translated into a workable system in DCS. It seem to work like a little missile with a high PK, I think it hit every harpoon it engaged. This might need to be nerfed, I don't think chaff is this efficient.
@@voidtempering8700 the chaff launcher is what they are talking about. The chaff launcher basically launched a slug which hit and destroyed a harpoon, which is inaccurate.
This is like when the first ironclads fought each other in the US Civil War, where they just kept shooting at each other until they both ran out of ammunition and neither was destroyed
same in most engagements of the second half of the 1800s - look at the many battles between the Russian and Japanese (who used mostly British ships) navies.....
One of the best. I forgot the video title but one of them built a 3D model and went over what each component does in detail. 055 had so much space dedicated to anti stealth radar and EW systems I didn’t believe it at first (I thought the amount of RF interference will be a nightmare).
@@thomaszhang3101 The RN has been obsessed with EW for decades. To the extent that the see anything kinetic as second string. They seem to forget their job is too hurt the enemy. I was thinking about interference watching the video oddly. All those well spaced ariels bending in the wind. Another advantage of a big hull. Lots of space to place stuff.
US Navy also has a good and recently upgraded EW system. Also Tico and AB have three types of decoy systems: old SRBOC but also advanced systems like Nulka and also the newest inflatable towed system - IDS300. In DCS you don't have any of that...
@@clangerbasher yes I agree. It would be very very difficult. On the other hand chaff launchers like SRBOC, flying decoys like Nulca or towed decoys like IDS300 shouldn't be too hard to model
LOL i love the Harpoons still making their way to the target long after the battle essentailly ended. Reminds me of a bunch of overly enthusiastic grandpas.
This was the only way the soviets though they could effictivly sink US carriers in the late cold war, with 80+ TU-22Ms firing hundereds of missiles while TU-95s filled the air with decoys.
the mod is not done accurately, the missile is supposed to go to space and drop straight down. The SM-3 and SM-6 can physically not track a missile that appears to not be moving on the radar.(2d wise)
Oh boy! wonder when the Type 52D will come out, that will really complete the Chinese fleet. Also hoping that ED expands the controllability of the ships, to allow better control of things like land attack missiles and the like.
The U.S. has already tested the SM-6 against Hypersonics. It takes them out just fine. Keep thinking that the Chinese Navy won't get decimated against a Naval power with 12 Supercarriers when they only have 2 though. I hope they try to take Taiwan soon so that America can remind them of their place.
@@ObiWanShinobi917 What was the SM-6 tested against? Neither the Americans nor any of their "allies" have hypersonic weapons. And on a more personal note, with the arrogance you display in your comment, the only one that needs to be put in their place is you.
Chinese naval planners estimate it would take between 8-13 ASMs to break through an Aegis combatant’s defenses with a probability of over 80%. This simulation fails to account for the tactics likely to be used by either side; the current Chinese doctrine is to launch subsonic missiles followed by a salvo of hypersonic missiles that will overtake their subsonic counterparts at just the right time to arrive at the target simultaneously and from multiple axes. The disadvantage in terms of missile technology rests with the USN for now.
@@grimreapers Yo Cap! Talking about The NSM, please check this out-- th-cam.com/video/WJFP7xZdeXQ/w-d-xo.html It'd be brilliant if you guys could create a Mod!!😅🙏

The YJ-21 is a hypersonic missile that can change its trajectory mid-flight and anchieve plasma stealth upon entry into the atmosphere, making it literally impossible to intercept in the final stage, which is when it basically becomes a 7 mach stealth missile like the NSM with a twice as big warhead.
Since there's a proliferation of hypersonic missiles launched from ships which essentially go into space and come back down, is there such a thing as ship-launched anti-satellite missiles?
Some people misunderstood the role of Chinese ships, thinking that like the Americans, the 055's role is to guard their aircraft carriers. But it's actually the opposite, the carrier's role is to protect the 055 from air attacks, so that it can fire its YJ-21s at enemy ships. It's more like the Soviet strategy back then.
The aircraft carrier's role isn't to guard its smaller escort ships from missile attacks from long range. It's fighters will never get that far to counter them. Its the subs in the water that protect the escort ships and air craft carrier by never letting another ship get that close to fire its missiles. There are always quit a few shadowing in all directions up to over 1000 miles. Trust me these ships will never get close without a silent sub following them long before they even get to that point. If anyone is expecting the aircraft carrier to guard these ships then both the escort ships and the aircraft carrier are lost by bad war doctrine.
i think that the only thing that can reliably sink ships at this point is stealth subs like the gotland, very hard to defend against and even harder to counter.
Are the updated American Cruisers and Destroyers enabled with their respective electronic warfare suites in these simulations? Also, is it possible to have the ships conduct evasive maneuvers in response to threat conditions?
You might be able to detect the hypersonic missiles launch (from space) - but when they are at their fastest speed the plasma shield formed on the nose of the missile from the sheer speed of them entering the atmosphere will absorb radio waves, therefore the ships under attack will not be able to track them by RADAR, ships with a sideview of the action might have a chance but I don't know if SM-6s can be tracked by another asset and when they get below 20,000 feetish the secondary track will be lost anyway due to the curvature of the earth. In essence there is no chance - none - of intercepting these missiles with other missiles. On the other hand this electromagnetic disturbance phenomenon also makes it immensely difficult to aim hypersonic ballistic missiles accurately.
Then you realize that all 8 type 055 china has, had been build within 3 years, and there are 8 more underway. As for 052D, they are basically mini 055 as they use the same weapons and VLS.

When missile is launched, booster accelerates missile; then it detaches, wings unfold and air intake sticks out, beginning its subsonic cruise at sea level; when almost within terminal dash range, outer shell of air breathing engine and wings drop away, allowing the warhead and slick rocket body to fly forward and accelerate up to Mach 2.5-3 (acceleration varies randomly and abruptly throughout the dash to make interception harder).

@@Nr15121 keep in mind in this video the air defense fleet basically exhausted its entire arsenal trying to fend off chinese ship based antiship missiles, if the chinese airwing fired another volley its game over.
How many missiles did the countermeasures "intercept"? If I was seeing things correctly it seemed like dozens, which is ridiculous. And how does it differentiate between modern missiles with better sensors and older missiles with worse ones?
Could the Chinese fire their YJ-18s first in order to bleed the US of their better defences then fire the YJ-21 in hopes of getting through their ESSMs, or would this not work because the threat assessment tech would know which missiles to use for interception?
I'm sure the computer systems would recognize that right away and use the appropriate missiles. Since real life isn't limited by the programmers of a sim. Shoot we can now hit ships with missiles using AI that do not require radar. Everything is advancing and changing constantly as we speak.
The Type 055 is a super cool ship, and very hard to kill. You questioned how to sink it, and I think the new Kirov-M (Admiral Nakhimov currently finishing upgrade to this) with the Zircon hypersonic AShMis a pretty good match. Another highly feared and very large surface combatant with pretty much the same purpose.
@@The136th Yes, a carrier is just going to sit there and provide air defence so that a Type-055 carrying only a few dozen ASMs has to do most of the work. How absurd. Nobody invests billions of dollars into a CSG and the attached air wing only for it to provide “defence and intel”. Trust me, the J-15s and future J-35s will be doing most of the killing, just like in the USN. The PLAN have literally stated that the Type-055 was designed to lead the air defence umbrella for its fleets.
No competent navy uses AShMs as a primary method of sinking ships. They are just mass produced by the Russians and Chinese to make them look good, to make up for the fact they are not true blue water navies while the USN and RN are. Notice something about the actual blue water navies? They dont rely on hypersonic missiles for sinking ships. Thats what submarines are for.
Intereating, but a small points, no US ships have this amount of SM-6, they are spread thin all over their navy, they only have about 600 SM-6 and no ship have more then 8 onboard, the rest are SM-3, SM-2 and ASROC.
The thing about hypersonic missiles is even though they fly very high speeds, when they are in their terminal phase, they slow down dramatically, so they could be intercepted like any other missile. It gives the receiver less time to react.
I think it was less about them slowing down and more about the US ships throwing more than enough mud at the wall thus causing at least one to stick. I mean, what was that? Like 6-8 missiles of varying varieties per Hypersonic missile?
But the rule still applies. The defense has to get lucky all the time. The offense being the hypersonic missiles only have to get lucky once. IMO that is what makes them so damn frightening.
As I mentioned above, they're not hyper-sonic missiles, they're glide path projectiles launched from old ICBMs. They can't maneuver under power once detached. America is still a few years away from a true hyper-sonic missile, which will maneuver under power at the lower altitudes. It's not an easy problem to solve, but they're working on it.

The Chinese hypersonic missiles doesn't go on a straight line, and it doesn't come down from a high attitude like common missiles. The hypersonic takes effect at the final part of the journey. it is about Mach 10 when it hits. So the simulation is highly inaccurate.
And use LRASM’s (airborne and sea launched) - They’re in the inventory and would be a lot more effective than what was used here. We could also use F-22’s , F-35’s, B-1’s and B-2’s to launch them from closer in (especially the F-22’s, F-35’s and B-2’s). F-21’s would be available in 2025 when this battle is staged and could launch closer than the b-2’s (less time for the Chinese to react.
Sorry, but that´s absurd. What makes a cruiser "heavy" is solely the caliber of its guns. Even though the type 055 can be regarded as a large destroyer, its single main 130 mm gun is tiny compared to the six main guns of the German heavy cruiser "Admiral Graf Spee" (6 × 280 mm + 8 × 150 mm). To categorize the 055 destroyer as a battlecruiser is even more absurd. A battlecruiser was a huge "capital ship" regarded as equal to a fleet carrier. The battlecruiser HMS Hood (8 × 381 mm guns) was the largest warship in the world for 20 years and about four times heavier in displacement than the type 055 destroyers.
It is the same size as a cruiser and uses the same armament so calling it a cruiser sounds right. It's modeled after the American cruisers using Zumwalt destroyer features on the outside. Shoot it even has its missile layouts in the hull in the same places as the American cruisers.
@@jesperlykkeberg7438 Well its the same size as an American cruiser with the same armament of missiles and guns. It's a cruiser for sure no matter what they try and call it or what you would like to call it. The 055 is a cruiser not a destroyer. It's obviously designed after the American cruiser but with some Zumwalt features for stealth.
In Real Scenario, Type 055 would Launch YJ-18 first then YJ-21. So both will arrive in the same time from space (YJ-21) & sea level (YJ-18). YJ-21 also have Maneuvarable warhead, not conventional like potrayed in this simulation 🇨🇳

@@lyric-992 It decelerates to Mach 5, but still faster than the SM-6.

The YJ21 is being largely underestimated in the video. According to the V2 in the WWⅡ，V2 re-enter atmosphere speed was 1200 m/s while the speed of hitting the ground was 600 ms/s. The YJ21 has a re-enter atmosphere speed of 10-12 mach and a much more advanced design than V2, it can reach 5-6 mach easily when it hit the target. The momentum is already enough to destory a ship without considering its warhead's penatration blast.
with that speed it'll just punch right through the entire ship
@@mr.fantastic4403 The warheads are not just a bunch of metals. Instead, they have sensors and explosives.

If push came to shove, the US Navy would proooobably not show up with single ships either.
There are only 5 of them in real life though.
Something rarely discussed is the difference between exhaust vent of US Mk-41 and Chinese GB5860 VLS. Mk-41 are 8-packed with 8 cells sharing a common exhaust port, while GB5860 uses a CCL design where every cell has its own vent.
Aside from supporting both hot and cold launch, a big benefit of CCL is it avoids vent overheating when launching in rapid succession. On Mk-41 there has to be a cooling delay between launching from two cells sharing the same vent, which places a upper limit on firing rate, this limit does not exist with Chinese CCL cells giving it a much faster rate of launch.
Nope mk41 are only single packed. The Chinese VLS which are much larger could actually be quad packed. Also Chinese VLS is also dual cold and hot launched.
That's an absolutely fantastic mod, props to CH and you guys!
Just a minor correction: 8 are currently launched, tested and commissioned, of which 5 had undergone qualification and deemed qualified for high intensity situations.

If hypersonic missiles can achieve Sanger trajectories or Qian Xuesen trajectories in the game, things will become more interesting
Both of those trajectories would not be different. After completing its last reentry, both of those trajectories are in terminal free fall. The YJ-21s are shot down in the terminal phase. It only makes mid-course interception hard, which is irrelevant for terminal defense.
In fact, using boost glide bleeds off far more energy, so terminal interception is easier. Gliding increases time under drag, leading to a much lower final velocity, making it easy to pick off with high-energy ESSM interceptors.
@@boydrobertson2362 1 Qian Xuesen trajectory will have lower flying altitude than Sanger trajectory. Hypersonic flight below the Carmen line which means very short interception time and small interception window.
2 Sanger trajectory is a Bouncing trajectory or Water drift trajectory. Because of the flight altitude, it is easier to be warned, But because of the trajectory. It is difficult to be intercepted in the middle. and yes. compare to the Qian Xuesen trajectory. theoretically it is more easy to be intercepted in the end.
3 YJ21 use Sanger trajectory. not first push then glide that way. For improve the terminal penetration capability, the warhead have power source that could make the warhead at Mach10 in the end. YJ21 that number 2 means two-stage boostery.
4 To US military. sm6 maybe have the chance to counter YJ21 but the interception success rate is far lower than pac3-er. but not for US Navy.
5 My personal view is that the computer software and interception control rate of existing air defense system not enough to deal with hypersonic missiles. They all need to upgrade
6 Till today. The United States does not have any hypersonic missiles that can be used in actual combat. or enter service . The fastest hypersonic missile project is lrhw from the US Army. The CPS program of the US Navy is waiting for the modification of DDG1000 class destroyers and Virginia class nuclear submarines. As for the ARRW project of the US Airforce and HAWC of the northrop grumman. They have just entered the development stage of practical weapons, need time to wait
@@LyuChen94 The software certainly needs to improve because success rate of interception is far too low to win naval engagement, that is certain. My only issue is that the idea of Hypersonic weapons is the simple issue of drag.
To be clear, I don't believe SM-6 is effective against Hypersonic glide-style weapons because hypersonics have such high total kinetic energy during the boost-glide phase. The SM-6 would need a much higher delta-v and likely, more mass. But I don't see how hypersonic glide weapons even equal the interception difficulty of hyperbolic, free fall ballistic missiles. Assuming Hypersonic aren't as difficult as ballistic missiles, ESSM should be able to intercept.
As the altitude of the glider decreases, the drag force increases exponentially, and as the missile maneuvers more, it's drag increases. Even if you glide at the most energy conserving trajectory for you're altitude, you're drag is still higher. Hyperbolic ballistic missiles are typically impacting the target at mach 2-3 due to drag. If a Hypersonic weapon is down to Mach 1-2 at terminal phase, I would bet on ESSM.
I think the Hypersonic have a range that they can't be intercepted because they have a lower flight time that allows a nice, low and fast terminal phase.
If a missile that has a terminal phase rocket motor that accelerates the missile as it gets closer, I could see that being hard to defeat, but a simple free fall HGV style weapon is little better than normal missiles in the terminal phase.
@@boydrobertson2362 the missile like ICBM SLBM HGV（DF17 arrw avanguard 3m22?） HCM （HAWC 3m22?）or biconical hypersonic missile（DF26 YJ21 LRHW KH47m2 CPS）. Their terminal phases strike mode is same. The difference is that the trajectory is different. Especially hgv and hcm. These two missiles can plan the trajectory within the effective range. They are more like aircraft， They can choose to use a tricky angle. And execute the strike with great speed.
Resistance is need to solve at the stage of weapon model research. When the weapon has been actually developed, resistance will no longer be a problem.
Both hypesonic missile has One common characteristic is that lift can be used. To some extent. Is also using resistance. It's just that the way of using the lift of the biconical missile is relatively simple， I can tell you that the terminal speed of all type of hypersonic missiles can be maintained above Mach 5. HGV's terminal rocket booster can be added as needed like YJ21. I think maybe DF17 has one. ARRW doesn't have. I'm sure YJ21's terminal speed is Mach10. the PLA has released the information. the middle phase speed is Mach 6. So I don't think the US Navy has the ability to intercept hypersonic missiles now. Not only the software needs to be upgraded. even hardware change a new one and also Interceptor's warhead needs to be change to deairectional blasting warhead with direct force control technology. In the existing equipment of the United States. I think only Pac3-er missile maybe have the chance to intercept the Biconical missile just because the altitude is higher than HCM and HGV. pac3-er is a fast missile with direct force control system, the range of pac3 is not enough. Basically, most interceptors in the United States are not fast. In general, this is an era when swords are stronger than shields. the US haven't this sword yet. I forgot told you the DF17 is very cheap. like tomahawk .
about the ESSM. I do believe this is a advanced missile. But Americans don't use it to intercept hypersonic missiles

@@user-iz1xt7vf4s 🤣
But ccp looks dirty and ugly
That's really really sweet, I've been waiting for the 055 for so long.
I just got 2 points to make:
1) I think it would be more accurate to also model the HHQ16 which is a medium range SAM. I don't think a 055 would carry so many long range HHQ9B's, it would be more of a mix between the 2. Also it is said the HHQ16 can be quad packed in the large VLS cells of the 055 like ESSMs.
2. The Y-18 cruises in subsonic speeds in sea skimming mode and only in the terminal phase it uses a booster to accelarate to about 2-3 mach. Here it looked like it kinda followed a ballistic trajectory and was supersonic the whole time which is inaccurate.
No, HHQ16 missile will not appear in the VLS of 055 for two reasons,
1. 055 class destroyer is usually the command core of the entire fleet, it will be located in the center of the air defense network, medium range air defense missiles can not provide effective defense for the entire fleet;
2. HHQ16 is a semi-active missile, which requires a specific illuminating radar, and this illuminating radar has only been observed on 054A frigates. Even the 052D, which is smaller than the 055, does not have such illuminating radar. Due to the limited number of illumination channels, the number of targets HHQ16 can attack at the same time is also very limited, which is a very big weakness for the 055's ability to resist saturation attack.
And the evidence is that so far we have never seen the 052D or 055 launch HHQ16 in any of the exercises, quite the contrary, we can only see the more expensive HHQ9 missile launch practice. This is very illogical, if you are more heavily equipped with cheap missiles, you will not practice only with expensive missiles.
And as for the second point, you got it wrong yourself. The "supersonic ballistic missile" you see is not the YJ18 you think it is, but the latest anti-ship ballistic missile YJ-21, which is supersonic throughout and is in fact hypersonic. The real YJ-18s only started to show up from 18:08

@@Mr.J.xiansheng this is not just a game. This is based on real data. I seriously doubt one can shoot down a yj21 in a speed mach 10.
Idk the AESA radars have a pretty fast refresh rate, plus sm3's alone are specifically designed for ballistic missiles like these let alone sm6's and sm2's
@timmyhoward6638 Since it is impossible to catch up with hypersonic missiles, it can only attack at preset points. This requires the ability to calculate the precise trajectory of the attacking missile in advance. This is how sm6 and sm2 intercept ballistic missiles. You have to ambush on the opponent's trajectory in advance. You only have one time chance. However, parabolic ballistics are a technology of the 1960s, new hypersonic missiles such as DF17 or YJ21. They use maneuverable ballistics or even unpredictable ballistics, such as Qian Xuesen's water-drifting ballistics. This means that there is currently no means, or even theory, to intercept such missiles.
You don’t have to move as fast as the object you’re intercepting to intercept it.please look up on it it works😊

YJ-21 is terminal velocity mach 10. SM-6 max speed is mach 3.5. Unlikely SM-6 can intercept YJ-21. It takes 5 seconds from you see YJ-21 as a single pixel in the sky to impact.
China's most latest ASBMs are believed to include daylight/infrared imaging seeker to help the radar seeker, which renders most electronic counter measures useless. As reported their R&D team successfully developed innovative cooling solution to cool down the optical window under super high temperature incurred by the missile's super high flying speed. They also made sure that the seeker's AI algorithm can accurately identify the intended targets, as shown in a test using a Japanese E-767 mockup as target.
interception is not done by chasing, dude
As much as you want to be a fanboy - the missiles are coming straight at the ship and reflecting radar. Unless they came right under the horizon - all systems are automatic
You don't need to be fast if you're facing the missile head on - and calculating trajectory is no problem even at mach 10 for today's computers.
interception isnt about speed. You just need a warhead that is effective at taking out an asbm, even the older burke computers can easily calculate trajectory of a missile and find multiple intercept points, thats why burkes toss plenty of missiles out for every one they are trying to intercept. Plus capabilities are multiplied in real life with how AEGIS works together with the whole battle group which isnt properly and cant be properly represented in game.
@@alexanderchen6373 Fun fact: hypersonic missiles CAN be intercepted. You know why? Because they're not agile. They can't maneouver, and they can only come from a certain angle.

是的 我也想看
Tried 055 vs Ticons scenario in the *hardcore* "Command: Modern Operations", and these YJ21s performed miserably, missing basically all in multi slavoes against single US CSG. Until I checked it out in database viewer and saw the parameters the dev team had set for them. Sensors: Surface radar, late 1970s technology. LOL, you could jam it with a hairdryer.
它'太有趣了，白宫应该要求你担任国防部长。
YJ-21 reportedly has a side optical window for an infrared imaging sensor, combined with its active/passive radar seeker. To cool down the infrared seeker they also developed a special air cooling system which uses high pressure airflow. So when YJ-21 is diving and also decelerating at terminal phase, it will fly a wiring orbit which allows the side infrared imaging sensor to assist or even drive the homing process towards the target. So normal electromagnetic interference won't be effective.
I feel that the countermeasure system is very overpowered considering it is supposed to represent chaff. Missiles can resist chaff and with this countermeasure it seems to be a 100% p/k. Also would like to note that the antiship cruise missiles are subsonic in the terminal phase.
I have to agree, it seems excessively successful.
Was coming here to comment the same thing, you beat me to it so you get my like!
I believe the yj18 has a subsonic cruise phase and a supersonic boost terminal attack phase
You got that backwards, those missiles are subsonic in cruise and supersonic in terminal.
Depends - the Type 055 is a very modern destroyer and there's not a ton of Open Source information about exactly what kind of countermeasures it uses. It very well could utilize Active Decoys similar to what the US/Australia/Canada use in NULKA or the UK uses in the Sea Gnat's Siren round. Those are much more effective against modern missiles than simple passive chaff.
Pretty impressive for the first 055 to singlehandedly fend off all the harpoons
Hey Cap! Amazing work! Congrats to the mod devs for making an amazing mod!
I'd just like to suggest that if the 055 has countermeasures, then the Arleigh Burkes should also get its decoys which include the Mk 36, which is a typical chaff launcher, the Nulka, which is a decoy that hovers in midair while decoying enemy missiles, and the Mk 59, which is a floating decoy designed to mimic the radar return of ships and can float for up to 3 hours. I think the decoys can be simulated by spawning more non-functional ships which can be sinked by 1 hit and cant fire their own weapons.
In China, the students are now quoting US President Truman: it is better to use nukes to reduce the costs of an amphibious landing in Taiwan.
And let's face it, the US won't risk having a nuclear exchange in China on behalf of some puppet regime in Taiwan
1 major error and 2 minor changes that should be made,
The yj18 is a 2 stage missile with a subsonic cruise mode and a mach 2.5 terminal mode, It flies subsonic at sea skimming level until it gets within about 20 or so km before the tip of it breaks off and goes supersonic.
the type 055 can carry short range VLS missiles as well like the FM3000n with around 30km of range and can be quadpacked.
the countermeasures are definately overpowered, they're basically an additional 4 shortrange RIM launchers. Thats stupidly unrealistic in effectiveness.
I think you guys wrongly loaded the data of yj12 to jy18, yj12 is a supersonic missile with a range of 380km, and yj18 accelerates to supersonic speed only at the end, and the rest is in subsonic flight in exchange for greater range, even the conservative data yj18 It also has a range of more than 500km.
Watching a billion dollars of missiles go up in DCS smoke, priceless.
055's drogue system is currently the world's largest in service, with a diameter of 850mm and a depth of 9 meters. HHQ9B is used as a long-range air defense missile, but in actual use it is impossible to install all long-range missiles, carrying HHQ16 a launch hole can carry 4, only 32 launch holes can carry 128.
HHQ16s can't be quadpacked as far as anyone knows but the FM3000N can. though we've only seen them at arms shows and not deployed on any ships
The reason that hypersonic missiles are scary is because they can be maneuvered. If the mod can do that, I doubt that all of those countermeasures are even able to shoot down one yj21
Exactly... The mod uses ballistic trajectory which is so much easier to shoot down
China touts the DF-17 and other of it’s missiles as “highly maneuverable” and being “unable to shoot down.” The missile functions quite similarly to a ballistic missile, where it is boosted into the atmosphere, and then comes down on a target, albeit more maneuverable. However, there are some issues with this. When coming down from atmosphere, it must slow down to avoid burning up. Suddenly, the super-fast projectile is traveling much slower, and is much easier to intercept.
Another issue brought up is launch. Since the missile goes so fast, it requires a huge engine. What do big engines produce? A LOT of heat. Any launches would quickly be detected by satellites and sensors. In addition, the claim of “plasma stealth” is complete propaganda rubbish. Modern radar easily will see the missile. Plasma sheathing is primarily reflective, meaning that it will actually BLOCK communications and control to the missile, leaving it unguided. We saw the same thing happen when the space shuttle returned to earth and experienced a communication blackout. If Infrared sensors were used on front of the missile, they would simply melt due to the high temperatures from the speed. No signal or communication, no control for the missile. Not so maneuverable anymore. While at higher altitudes the missile can be cooled due to the lower temperatures and thinner atmosphere, when the missile has to “go in” to actually hit the carrier or boat, it won't be able to maneuver due to extreme temperatures.
Lastly, I’d like to discuss defensive measures against such missiles. The US Navy Arleigh Burke Destroyers as well as Ticonderoga Cruisers are built around aegis fleet defense.
These boats utilize the AN/SPY-1 Radar for guiding missiles for intercepting missiles and ballistic missiles. The Aegis’s SPY-1D(v) radar “can detect golf ball-sized targets at ranges in excess of 165 km.”
This statement was made in context with SPY-1D(v)’s ability to detect mortar rounds & artillery shells.
Golf ball = 0.0025 m^2. For a direct comparison if you scale SPY-1D’s range to 0.4 m^2 target, then it corresponds to 587 km - that’s 2.3 times the range of S-400 (91N6E).
Simply said, the SPY-1 will be detecting the DF-17 or other hypersonic missile from several hundred if not thousand kilometers away. In a 2014 test, USS John Paul Jones (DDG 53) with Aegis Baseline 9 engaged an exo-atmospheric ballistic missile with SM-3 Block IB while engaging 2 low-altitude cruise missiles near-simultaneously. Just one of many times when Aegis demonstrated the extent of diverse targets it can handle simultaneously. The SM-6 Dual I has a range between 370-460 km and is capable of engaging almost any endo-atmospheric target from sea-skimming cruise missiles, tactical aircraft to maneuverable ballistic missiles in their terminal stage. Another advantage of Aegis is the Cooperative Engagement capability (NIFC-CA). SM-6’s two-way datalink allows E-2D or F-35 to provide Over the Horizon targeting capability. The SM-6 have engaged OTH cruise missiles solely relying on targeting data from E-2D and F-35. It’s one thing to share data between airborne and ground radars but a whole lot different to have airborne platforms taking over Targeting.
Simply put, all the Chinese have is a slightly more agile and controllable ballistic missile. It is nothing new. The defenses that the missile is going up against, as well as all the factors against the missile really prevent it from being the supposed “game changer” that it is. These missiles will not force the US to leave the South China sea. If anything, we are seeing a continued buildup of American forces. If the PLAN does try something foolish, it is assured that the U.S. response will be quite forceful. B-52's, B-2's, B-1's, and whole carrier wings will roll over the missiles China lobs at our carriers.
Beware the carrier group…
@@TeoDP7 I believe the US is underselling their hardware while China is overselling theirs. Beside what you already stated, the US Navy/military is still working on many ways to counter China/Russia such as drones, remote ships, and laser.

Very cool, are we going to see the type 052D soon?
Might as well model the Type 052 DL at this point. I don’t see them ever getting to all the variants before an even newer variant launch.
I'm no military expert but that simulated countermeasure seems a bit cheaty. From what I've seen, at least in DCS, chaff is only effective like 5%-10% of the time. Idk how accurate that is to real life but it seemed WAY too overpowered here. Other than that I really enjoyed this and am looking forward to the future war games with this!
It's funny to notice every major naval arms manufacturer now have similar main mast designs in recent defense expo, just a few year back it's all about F-III cloth hangers.

8:34 if they can add cold launch effect for the HHQ-9B in the future, that’d be cool.
That was AWESOME - Thanks CH and Cap 😮😊
Not sure I understand how the chaff launchers have been translated into a workable system in DCS. It seem to work like a little missile with a high PK, I think it hit every harpoon it engaged. This might need to be nerfed, I don't think chaff is this efficient.
Nah that was honestly just ridiculous lol.
The chaff is the side rocket launchers, not the rear missile launcher.
@@voidtempering8700 the chaff launcher is what they are talking about. The chaff launcher basically launched a slug which hit and destroyed a harpoon, which is inaccurate.
This is like when the first ironclads fought each other in the US Civil War, where they just kept shooting at each other until they both ran out of ammunition and neither was destroyed
same in most engagements of the second half of the 1800s - look at the many battles between the Russian and Japanese (who used mostly British ships) navies.....
It's a very interesting metaphor. But YJ21 was not so easy to be intercept. This simulation was not accurately enought.
I imagine IRL T055 will have a good EW fit out too.
One of the best. I forgot the video title but one of them built a 3D model and went over what each component does in detail. 055 had so much space dedicated to anti stealth radar and EW systems I didn’t believe it at first (I thought the amount of RF interference will be a nightmare).
@@thomaszhang3101 The RN has been obsessed with EW for decades. To the extent that the see anything kinetic as second string. They seem to forget their job is too hurt the enemy. I was thinking about interference watching the video oddly. All those well spaced ariels bending in the wind. Another advantage of a big hull. Lots of space to place stuff.
US Navy also has a good and recently upgraded EW system. Also Tico and AB have three types of decoy systems: old SRBOC but also advanced systems like Nulka and also the newest inflatable towed system - IDS300.
In DCS you don't have any of that...
@@danielm81 Yes. I suppose EW would be a little difficult to model. It is as much art as science.
@@clangerbasher yes I agree. It would be very very difficult.
On the other hand chaff launchers like SRBOC, flying decoys like Nulca or towed decoys like IDS300 shouldn't be too hard to model
LOL i love the Harpoons still making their way to the target long after the battle essentailly ended. Reminds me of a bunch of overly enthusiastic grandpas.
So this tells me that an attacker should fire hundreds of decoy missiles to waste the enemies defensive ammo, followed by the real ammo?
Yep, as with all modern sea systems, same with a CVN group.
This was the only way the soviets though they could effictivly sink US carriers in the late cold war, with 80+ TU-22Ms firing hundereds of missiles while TU-95s filled the air with decoys.
There are 8 055s now, and the 9th just entered sea testing.
now，there are 10 055
I really don't think any current defense system can intercept YJ-21 and YJ-17.
I think the SM-6 could possibly intercept maybe a couple of them. But not a full salvo, no way.
I think sm-3 would probably do ok
the mod is not done accurately, the missile is supposed to go to space and drop straight down. The SM-3 and SM-6 can physically not track a missile that appears to not be moving on the radar.(2d wise)

Great mod and super video Cap!
Chinese naval planners estimate it would take between 8-13 ASMs to break through an Aegis combatant’s defenses with a probability of over 80%. This simulation fails to account for the tactics likely to be used by either side; the current Chinese doctrine is to launch subsonic missiles followed by a salvo of hypersonic missiles that will overtake their subsonic counterparts at just the right time to arrive at the target simultaneously and from multiple axes. The disadvantage in terms of missile technology rests with the USN for now.
very impressive work!

The YJ-21 is a hypersonic missile that can change its trajectory mid-flight and anchieve plasma stealth upon entry into the atmosphere, making it literally impossible to intercept in the final stage, which is when it basically becomes a 7 mach stealth missile like the NSM with a twice as big warhead.

"11 barrels of pure Chinese freedom" lol
Great work as always.
are these comparable to the Type 055A Refit?
I think these are
no concrete info exists for a Type 055A yet.
Some people misunderstood the role of Chinese ships, thinking that like the Americans, the 055's role is to guard their aircraft carriers. But it's actually the opposite, the carrier's role is to protect the 055 from air attacks, so that it can fire its YJ-21s at enemy ships. It's more like the Soviet strategy back then.
The aircraft carrier's role isn't to guard its smaller escort ships from missile attacks from long range. It's fighters will never get that far to counter them. Its the subs in the water that protect the escort ships and air craft carrier by never letting another ship get that close to fire its missiles. There are always quit a few shadowing in all directions up to over 1000 miles. Trust me these ships will never get close without a silent sub following them long before they even get to that point. If anyone is expecting the aircraft carrier to guard these ships then both the escort ships and the aircraft carrier are lost by bad war doctrine.
i think that the only thing that can reliably sink ships at this point is stealth subs like the gotland, very hard to defend against and even harder to counter.
They don't have the range to operate in the South Pacific, you really need nuclear, hence the AUKUS deal
Or stealth cruise missiles and other stealth missiles drops by stealth aircraft. There are many different ways to take out ships like these.
We call the 055 a cruiser but we call the zumwalt(which is larger than the 055) a destroyer?

@ 也差不多吧
Are the updated American Cruisers and Destroyers enabled with their respective electronic warfare suites in these simulations? Also, is it possible to have the ships conduct evasive maneuvers in response to threat conditions?
You might be able to detect the hypersonic missiles launch (from space) - but when they are at their fastest speed the plasma shield formed on the nose of the missile from the sheer speed of them entering the atmosphere will absorb radio waves, therefore the ships under attack will not be able to track them by RADAR, ships with a sideview of the action might have a chance but I don't know if SM-6s can be tracked by another asset and when they get below 20,000 feetish the secondary track will be lost anyway due to the curvature of the earth. In essence there is no chance - none - of intercepting these missiles with other missiles. On the other hand this electromagnetic disturbance phenomenon also makes it immensely difficult to aim hypersonic ballistic missiles accurately.
Maybe a saturation attack, in an attempt to overwelm the overall fire rate of the ship with a giant swarm of missiles
there goes entire 2 countries health care budget

The Type 52d destroyer was designed in the 1990s, but there was no money to build it
Minor note - does the YJ-18 fold its wings back when it goes into supersonic terminal mode? That straight wing doesn't seem very supersonic at all.
its front section detaches when it goes supersonic
the wins detach in the terminal phase IRL they are there to increase range I think
It’s an outer shell of gas breathing engine plus a wing wrapped around a warhead with a rocket.
When missile is launched, booster accelerates missile; then it detaches, wings unfold and air intake sticks out, beginning its subsonic cruise at sea level; when almost within terminal dash range, outer shell of air breathing engine and wings drop away, allowing the warhead and slick rocket body to fly forward and accelerate up to Mach 2.5-3 (acceleration varies randomly and abruptly throughout the dash to make interception harder).

How many missiles did the countermeasures "intercept"? If I was seeing things correctly it seemed like dozens, which is ridiculous. And how does it differentiate between modern missiles with better sensors and older missiles with worse ones?
Could the Chinese fire their YJ-18s first in order to bleed the US of their better defences then fire the YJ-21 in hopes of getting through their ESSMs, or would this not work because the threat assessment tech would know which missiles to use for interception?
I'm sure the computer systems would recognize that right away and use the appropriate missiles. Since real life isn't limited by the programmers of a sim. Shoot we can now hit ships with missiles using AI that do not require radar. Everything is advancing and changing constantly as we speak.
The Type 055 is a super cool ship, and very hard to kill. You questioned how to sink it, and I think the new Kirov-M (Admiral Nakhimov currently finishing upgrade to this) with the Zircon hypersonic AShMis a pretty good match.

No competent navy uses AShMs as a primary method of sinking ships. They are just mass produced by the Russians and Chinese to make them look good, to make up for the fact they are not true blue water navies while the USN and RN are.
Notice something about the actual blue water navies? They dont rely on hypersonic missiles for sinking ships. Thats what submarines are for.
Intereating, but a small points, no US ships have this amount of SM-6, they are spread thin all over their navy, they only have about 600 SM-6 and no ship have more then 8 onboard, the rest are SM-3, SM-2 and ASROC.
Maybe I'm sure those figures are classified so we really don't know and they sure wouldn't let any knowledge of that get out.
The thing about hypersonic missiles is even though they fly very high speeds, when they are in their terminal phase, they slow down dramatically, so they could be intercepted like any other missile. It gives the receiver less time to react.
I think it was less about them slowing down and more about the US ships throwing more than enough mud at the wall thus causing at least one to stick. I mean, what was that? Like 6-8 missiles of varying varieties per Hypersonic missile?
But the rule still applies.
The defense has to get lucky all the time.
The offense being the hypersonic missiles only have to get lucky once. IMO that is what makes them so damn frightening.
As I mentioned above, they're not hyper-sonic missiles, they're glide path projectiles launched from old ICBMs. They can't maneuver under power once detached. America is still a few years away from a true hyper-sonic missile, which will maneuver under power at the lower altitudes. It's not an easy problem to solve, but they're working on it.

The Chinese hypersonic missiles doesn't go on a straight line, and it doesn't come down from a high attitude like common missiles. The hypersonic takes effect at the final part of the journey. it is about Mach 10 when it hits. So the simulation is highly inaccurate.
US Tico & Arleigh Burke III is lacking behind in missile ranch and speed and also the type 055 have a more advance in radar too..
If missiles won't work against the type 055, then it's time to break out the submarines and have them sneak in and hit them with torpedos.

I think that we should categorize the type 055 Destroyer as a Heavy Cruiser or as a Battle Cruiser
Sorry, but that´s absurd. What makes a cruiser "heavy" is solely the caliber of its guns. Even though the type 055 can be regarded as a large destroyer, its single main 130 mm gun is tiny compared to the six main guns of the German heavy cruiser "Admiral Graf Spee" (6 × 280 mm + 8 × 150 mm).
To categorize the 055 destroyer as a battlecruiser is even more absurd. A battlecruiser was a huge "capital ship" regarded as equal to a fleet carrier. The battlecruiser HMS Hood (8 × 381 mm guns) was the largest warship in the world for 20 years and about four times heavier in displacement than the type 055 destroyers.
But 055 is very big
@@somerandomguy1475 smaller than a zumwalt yet us still calls that a destroyer
It is the same size as a cruiser and uses the same armament so calling it a cruiser sounds right. It's modeled after the American cruisers using Zumwalt destroyer features on the outside. Shoot it even has its missile layouts in the hull in the same places as the American cruisers.
