South Korea: Aegis warships carry the most missiles
Currently, the Korean Navy has three Aegis class ships, the Sejong the Great. With its ownership of the ship, South Korea became the fifth Aegis vessel to follow the United States, Japan, Spain and Norway. It can be said that in addition to the United States, the firepower of the Sejong Aegis class of Korea is the strongest.
South Korea's Sejong class is much stronger than the Aegis of Spain and Norway, even more than 10% stronger than the main US Arleigh Burke class ship, equivalent to the New Atago class destroyer Aegis. most of Japan.
Sejong has a standard water drainage of 7,600 tons, full load displacement of more than 10,000 tons, 165.9m long, 21.4m wide, staffing about 300 sailors.
This class is equipped with the AN / SPY-1D (V) 5 active radar network system, which is considered to be the "heart" of the Aegis system.
The most salient feature of the Sejong Aegis was the Aegis SPY-1D (V5) radar used for reconnaissance. Four-sided radar antennas are available on the hull for 360 degree airspace coverage, range up to 1,000 km, and can be used to capture ballistic missiles.
The reason why the Sejong the Great has the most firepower among the Aegis is because it is equipped with a 128-volt, 32-shot vertical launch system and Arleigh Burke's launch system. Atago.
Of these, 80 Mk41 launchers contain SM-2 Block IV long-range surface-to-air missiles, reaching a range of 170 km. Unfortunately, King Sejong is not equipped with SM-3 ballistic missile interceptors such as the Atago, although it can be easily integrated.
The remaining 48 K-VLSs produced by South Korea can carry 32 long-range cruise missiles Hyunmoo III reaching 500-1,000 km range and 16 K-ASROC anti-submarine missiles that can sink enemy ships. away from 19km.
That's not to mention King Sejong's external fire with 127mm heavy artillery, high-speed air defense artillery, a low-altitude air-defense missile cluster, SSM-700K Hae short-range anti-ship missile complex Sung (range of 150km) and 324mm anti-submarine torpedo.
Type 052D: Scary warship
In 2013, China launched a total of three Type 052D destroyers based on Type 052C Lanzhou. The ship has a full load stretch of about 7000 tons, 156m long, crew of 280 people.
Being smaller in size, it is no surprise that the Type 052D's armament was not as good as the Korean warship, but its strength was not bad at all with the King Sejong.
The Type 052D, armed with a 64-gun vertical launch system, is said to contain the HHQ-9 long-range air defense missile with a range of 200 km; Land-to-air missile DH-10 reaches a range of 1,500-2,500km (CEP precision of 10m, equivalent to Tomahawk); anti-submarine missile CY-2.
Type 052D external firepower consists of a 130mm heavy artillery, Type 730 anti-aircraft guns, FL-3000N short-range anti-submarine anti-submarine warfare.
In particular, Type 052D will be equipped with the new cruise missile type designated YJ-18A. According to some sources, the YJ-18A has a range of up to 500 km, Mach 4-5 travel speed. If this is true, Type 052D will have the strongest anti-ship firepower in Northeast Asia.
Although the Type 052D is always referred to as the "Aegis warship made in China", it is, however, an analogy with the layout of the antenna network around the command center with the layout of the actual Aegis warship. , Japan, Korea. It is equipped with a Type 346A radar, which is not very informative, and can operate much lower than AN / SPY-1.
However, Chinese sources have stated that the Type 052D is capable of intercepting ballistic missiles with the HHQ-9. This means that Type 346 radars must be capable of detecting ballistic missiles.
According to Chinese military experts, the Type 052D frigates will be deployed into the battlefield fleet, becoming the guardian of the carrier. Experts say that the 052D destroyer became the backbone of the carrier's border defenses, which could form a 200 km radius of defenses for the group of aircraft carriers.
Kongo, Atago: The most powerful missile defense battleship
If the Type 052D's missile defense capability is filled with questionable explanations, the Congolese-class defenses at Atago, the Japanese Aegis, are unmistakable.
Congo is a large class destroyer based on the Arleigh Burke class for the Japan Sea Guard. During the period 1990-1998, Japan built a total of 4 Kongo with a total capacity of 9,500 tonnes, 161m long. Then, in the period of 2004-2008, Japan added 2 more Atago class upgrades with 10,000 LTL.
Japan is planning to build two more Atago class destroyers, to increase its missile-defense capability from North Korea and South Korea.
Similar to South Korea's Sejong class, Atago and Kongo are equipped with Aegis combat systems with an AN / SPY-1 active "radar" active-radar radar that features the equivalent of the Korean Aegis.
In terms of firepower, Atago and Kongo were equipped with the Mk41 vertical launch system with 96 launch tubes, less than the Korean ones. However, these vessels are equipped with SM-3 super-interceptor missiles capable of intercepting atmospheric ballistic missiles, range up to 500 km.
External firepower of Atago and Kongo was equivalent to Korean ships with 127mm guns, high-speed air defense cannons, short-range anti-ship missiles, and anti-submarine torpedoes.
In general, the Aegis does not have a competitor in Northeast Asia and in Asia. No Chinese warships have equivalent missile defense capabilities.
Generally speaking, when evaluating the strength of the Aegis, Chinese, Korean and Japanese ships, it is difficult to classify them. If only compare the advantages of Aegis ships of the three countries, in terms of firepower, strength of Aegis ship of Korea strongest. However, in terms of the ability of the Japanese Aegis missile interceptor and the long-range cruise capability of the Aegis ship, China surpassed Korea.
