China is Preparing a Pearl
Harbor Style Attack

Giving the Kitty Hawk a Nasty Sunburn

While the Shkval is deadly below the waterline, above the waterline the new Russian Moskit (SS-N-22 Sunburn) missile is equally deadly.

SS-N-22 Sunburn

Moskit is the aircraft variant of the naval missile 3M80 (SS-N-22 Sunburn, the designation 3M80 apparently referring to the Mach 3 speed of 1980 weapons) used on "Sovremennyy" destroyers (eight missiles on each.)  It reaches Mach 3 at a high altitude and its maximum low-altitude speed is M2.2, triple the speed of the American Harpoon. 

The missile is propelled by a dual (rocket-jet) engine and guided by an autopilot during the initial fight stage, with possible correction by an active radar during the final flight stage.

In 1996, China purchased two Russian Sovremenny class destroyers the Vazhniy and Aleksandr Nevskiy (ex-Vdumchivyy).  The latest variants of this class, both were in various stages of completing at the time of their purchase.  Construction of the two ships was completed by 2000 and both were delivered to China.

Sovremenny

Under a December 1996 agreement China purchased two Russian Sovremenny-class destroyers, each equipped with eight supersonic 3M-80E Moskit SS-N-22 SUNBURN (75/155nm range sea-skimming) and two SA-N-7 launchers. The Sovremenny class was constructed primarily for surface action operations; China will receive 50 Moskit missiles for the destroyers by mid-2000.

Although the ships are equipped with self-defense antisubmarine weapons such as torpedoes and helicopters, the design does not pkace much emphasis on its antisubmarine capability. They are not equipped with the large and expensive towed sonar array and antisubmarine missile system that are commonly found on US and Japanese warships.

As of August 1999 the two Sovremenyy-class destroyers ordered by China had been launched and were expected to enter PLA-Navy service by 2002. The first Sovremenyy-class destroyer completed fitting out at Severnaya and sailed to China in early 2000, and was expected to enter commission at the end of 2000.

The Moskit launch tubes are mounted alongside the bridge of the Russian Sovremney class destroyers such as those recently sold to China. 

Now that we’ve identified the one-two punch of the China’s “battle of the first salvo” strategy how would it work.  

A Coordinated Attack Above
and Below The Waterline

After being drawn near to China’s coast and into a Shkval/Moskit kill zone, hostilities would suddenly erupt without notice the moment these missiles are fired as part of a coordinated attack of Moskit-armed Sovremenny-class destroyers and Shkval-armed Type 636 Kilo submarines.

The result will be that the command information center (CIC) of the Kitty Hawk will see inbound barrage of Moskit ship-to-ship missiles traveling at more than twice the speed of sound, as well as Shkval torpedoes travel at close to 300 mph. 

For the purpose of discussion, let’s assume that that evasive maneuvers and Kitty Hawk’s E-2 Hawkeye S-3 Viking Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Aircraft handle the threat from the Kilos.  What about the inbound Moskit supersonic cruise missiles coming on the deck at an altitude of just 20 meters above sea level? 

Hopefully the Moskit missiles can be intercepted and destroyed by the Kitty Hawk’s RIM-7M Sea Sparrow. These radar-guided, air-to-air missiles with high explosive warheads are the Kitty Hawk’s surface-to-air anti-missile defense.

The Sea Sparrow has all-weather, all-altitude operational capabilities and can attack high-performance aircraft and missiles from any direction. 

Assuming that a few of the Mokit missiles make it past the Sea Sparrows the “last chance” line of defense for the Kitty Hawk is the Phalanx close-in weapons system with its rapid-fire 20-millimeter gun system.

If the Kitty Hawk’s Phalanx is going to be used to destroy a sub-sonic cruise missile like our Navy’s own Tomahawk cruise missile, the Phalanx system could have as much as 2.5 minutes to acquire and attack the oncoming missile.   That means it could fire a hailstorm of over 11,000 20mm rounds at one or more oncoming Tomahawks. 

However, in terms of the Mach 3 Moskit missile, the Kitty Hawk’s Phalanx will have 30 seconds at best to destroy the missile.  That means the Phalanx could only fire a hailstorm of approximately 2,250, 20mm rounds at one or more oncoming Moskit missiles. 

Still the same, it only takes one well-aimed 20mm round to destroy a Moskit missile.  But even so, the debris from the missile will likely continue on towards the Kitty Hawk, causing considerable damage upon impact. 

What all this boils down to is strategy and the immutable fact that the best defense is a good offense.  

Avoiding China’s Shkval/Moskit Kill Zone

The downsizing of our forces during the Clinton years was a tremendous mistake, especially given the fact that Clinton ordered our forces into more parts of the globe than any other peacetime President in American history.  Rebuilding takes time but what we can do now is to help Taiwan no matter how much noise we hear from the communist Chinese.

Taiwan is a vibrant democracy and needs to be armed for two reasons.  First it must be given the weapons it needs to for an effective first line of defense against communist Chinese aggression.  Second, it must be sufficiently armed so that serve as a an effective front line against the ever-growing Chinese threat so that America can avoid the sending its fleet into a Shkval/Moskit kill zone.

America also needs to rebuild its naval forces, with a special emphasis on attack submarines to counter the Kilo/Shkval threat.  Also we need to build and deploy large numbers of the new long-range Tactical Tomahawk cruise missiles.  The Tactical Tomahawk can be launched and then loiter in an area until it can be designated against a high value target such as China’s new Sovremenyy-class destroyers and their Moskit missiles.

In short, the best way to keep our carriers out of the Chinese kill zone is to have the political will to unhesitatingly destroy every hostile warship in the kill zone before the carriers arrive.  We’ve got to reach out and touch them – real hard!

The World After 2012 — 2013 Author, Marie D. Jones

Over the years, we’ve built the case for Planet X / Nibiru and 2012 much like a samurai sword.  Layer by layer, the steel is folded and beaten until it's purity gives it a fearsome edge.  Eventually, there comes a point where you finally use it to cut to the heart of the matter.  That time is now, and to help us take aim at what really matters, Marie D. Jones, author of 2013: The End of Days or a New Beginning: Envisioning the World After the Events of 2012 wants us to know the future will be difficult, but greatly rewarding.

In this uplifting interview, she discusses the spiritual aspects of surviving the years to come.  Effervescent, savvy and well versed, this popular author has exhaustively researched the writings and thoughts of those who see humanity’s coming travails as a birthing process.  The notables, Marie has documented in her book agree on many of the same pitfalls and potential triumphs as those envisaged by yowusa.com authors.
