Chapter 869: Live Broadcast (Part II)
The reason why the US "Patriot" air defense missile position is indeed one step ahead is not that the AN/MPQ253 phased array radar equipped with the "Patriot" air defense missile system is one step ahead of the YJL-10 phased array fire control mine performance of the "Falcon" air defense missile system.
It is because of the strong integrated combat system established by the US military in the long arms race that the "Patriot" position has the ability to detect the enemy first, and because of this, the AN/MPQ253 phased array radar is just a node in the entire battlefield perception system, and the real core is the ubiquitous reconnaissance aircraft, early warning and monitoring equipment and electronic detection system in the Iraqi sky;
In particular, the eight DSP ballistic missile early warning satellites deployed in the low orbit of outer space are the core of the entire terminal interception combat system, and this early warning satellite reconnaissance system developed to deal with the threat of thousands of ballistic missiles of the Soviet Union can be said to be doing its best.
Since the 60s, it has been continuously developed and improved, and by the end of the 80s, it has developed to the third generation, and its internal infrared sensor line array is composed of 2048 lead sulfide components that are extremely difficult to manufacture, with extremely high sensitivity, and with a new generation of computer control chips and ground receiving and interpretation systems, it constitutes the ability to implement coverage refresh to any corner of the world every 10 seconds.
In other words, as long as a ballistic missile is launched from any corner of the world, the unusually strong infrared radiation signal of its tail nozzle will be captured by the DSP ballistic missile early warning satellite in outer space, and this data will be quickly transmitted to the ground receiving station, and then sent to each interception combat unit through the communication satellite and data link system to carry out the final interception and strike mission, so as to build a complete ballistic missile interception combat system;
Of course, because of the difference in the range and launch yield of ballistic missiles, the early warning time provided by DSP ballistic missile early warning satellites is also different, and ICBMs can provide about 10 to 15 minutes of warning time because of their large launch mass, the release of thermal radiation is also very violent, and the range is long;
Short-range ballistic missiles with a range of less than 500 kilometers can only provide 1 to 3 minutes of early warning time for terminal interception and strike units because of their weak infrared signature and short range........
Lieutenant Colonel Bolson clasped his hands in front of his chest, looking at the display screen in front of him that connected the integrated data link, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull, and his angular face suddenly showed an unusually confident smile, you know, he has not officially turned on the radar so far, but through the DSP ballistic missile early warning satellite system, he still firmly grasps the basic data parameters of the incoming "Scud", and in this way, ahead of the surface-to-air missile unit controlled by Chinese mercenaries on the other side, issued an air raid alert to the entire Dhahran;
As he said to Clark before, his self-confidence comes not only from the strong combat effectiveness of the "Patriot 2", but also from the powerful comprehensive strength of the entire US military, which cannot be seen or touched, but once they are activated, they are a powerful force that shakes the world and can destroy everything in the world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because of this, the data of the three "Scud" missiles flashing on the screen seemed to him to be more like the bereaved family of the incoming missile's self-writing, because they would all come to naught in front of the iron wall he had built........
"I'm Clark, and now I'm in the eastern Saudi city of Dhahran, just two minutes ago, the 'Patriot' missile position just deployed here detected the Iraqi 'Scud' attack signal, and at this time, the air defense sirens sounded throughout the city....... Fortunately, our 'Patriots' have super reconnaissance and early warning capabilities, which can provide ample evacuation time for civilians and soldiers stationed there.
Of course, what is more important is to swatt down those disturbing flies, there is no way, because if you don't do this, you can't make people safe, let alone let Saddam know that all his tricks are in vain, these words are not what I said, but Lieutenant Colonel Bolson, commander of the 'Patriot' missile position in Dhahran, told me not long ago, I believe that he and his soldiers will completely shatter Saddam's dream, let us wait and see..........
Outside the cabin, Clark's excited voice spread quickly across the vast desert, and he was so excited and fanatical that he couldn't even hide the harsh air defense siren, and the smile on Boltson's face was unabashedly bright, yes, this is the effect he wanted,
Although he also cares about the hundreds of thousands of dollars in arms commissions, he cares more about fame, status, and the path to the ladder of heaven in the future, and today's battle is a good opportunity given to him by God, which he must seize, use and expand.......
"God is always on my side!"
Looking at the flawless and good start, Bolson, as a Christian, muttered and kissed the cross pendant around his neck, and at this moment a red note suddenly appeared on the screen, and Boltson suddenly looked at him and kissed the cross fiercely:
"God willing!" he straightened up from his seat, put on a communication headset, and commanded loudly: "Radar on!"
As Lieutenant Colonel Bolson ordered the AN/MPQ253 phased array radar to quickly turn on the power supply, the strong radar wave was formed through tens of thousands of phased arrays on the flat panel, and it was densely spread out in the direction of the "Scud" missile, forming a solid electronic barrier in the entire eastern sky of Dhahran in an instant.
When the three "Scud" missiles that passed by quickly crossed this barrier, the AN/MPQ253 phased array radar responded quickly, and the strong radar reflection wave accurately presented the movement trajectory of the three missiles on the radar screen, and constantly refreshed at an interval of 2 seconds, thus officially taking over the DSP ballistic missile early warning satellite and assuming the monitoring mission of the incoming missiles;
At the same time, the data parameters previously provided by the satellite were rapidly perfected under more accurate monitoring, and groups of firing parameters for the final interception and strike were gradually formed under the rapid calculation of high-performance electronic computers, and the "Scud" missile was also gradually approaching during this period, and the three points of light that frequently flashed were already less than three centimeters away from the center of the radar screen........
"30 miles!"
The radar soldier reported loudly, but Lieutenant Colonel Bolson was still as steady as Mount Tai!
"25 miles!"
The missiles are still approaching, but Bolson's lips are still pursed tighter than steel!
"20 miles!"
When the radar soldier reported the distance parameters loudly again, he saw that the green tendons on Boltson's forehead suddenly burst out, and his pursed lips also opened at the same time, and he shouted in his extremely fierce tone:
“fire!”
Suddenly, the earth trembled, and the six inclined launchers erupted blazing fireworks at the same time, which was particularly dazzling in the dark night, and the smoke and dust that rose up instantly filled the night sky under the cover of the firelight, accompanied by the dense gunpowder smoke slowly rising, reflecting the boundless murderous aura.
At this moment, the soldiers of the coalition forces stationed in Dhahran were stunned, because this was the first time in their lives that they witnessed the excitement of a missile hitting a missile.......
At this moment, the commander of the coalition forces in the eastern suburbs of Dhahran was excited, because he was glad that he was able to experience this starry battle that would surely go down in history.......
At this moment, the command of the coalition forces in Riyadh was silent, as they all held their breath in anticipation of the moment when the night sky was full of three fireworks in the sky........
At this moment, countless American viewers in front of the television set were excited, because since the Vietnam War, they once again felt the strength of their country.......
Of course, there are also people who are silently waiting for this moment, it is Lu Jiadong, who is located in the desert somewhere in Iraq, and he looks up at the night sky, hoping that a miracle will really come.......
However, Lu Jiadong's expectations did not seem to work, at least in the eyes of Clark, who was conducting the live broadcast, when the six "Patriot 2" interceptor missiles were divided into three groups and crashed head-on into the three "Scuds", he said in an almost hoarse and excited voice, and unabashedly concluded to the camera lens that the American "Patriot" would be the ultimate victor, of course, during this period, he would also point ironically to the "Falcon" air defense missile system that has always been indifferent:
"I don't know what words to use to express my feelings at this time, I think the anti-aircraft missile positions of the Arab coalition forces not far away should be the same as me, because we are all very glad that the 'patriots' of the US military can be deployed here, proud, proud and truly decisive, that is, the sword of Damocles that was fired, ladies and gentlemen, let us open our eyes and witness this earth-shattering interception that is enough to go down in history........"
"Boom~~Boom~~Boom~~"
As if it had been coordinated, at the moment when Clark said his last words, a shocking explosion suddenly sounded in the distant sky, and three dazzling fireballs, like brilliant fireworks, suddenly bloomed under the night, looking extremely dazzling and dazzling.........
"Hit, hit........."
Looking at the gradually expanding fire mass in mid-air, Clark couldn't help himself, so that even his voice was a little out of tune, and it seemed sharp and abnormal, like a male duck who had been choked by the neck, desperately hissing, not only him, but also the coalition officers and soldiers in the air defense bunker, the commander of the ground forces in the eastern suburbs, the coalition command in Riyadh, and tens of millions of American spectators on the other side of the ocean, cheered excitedly at the same time at this moment,
Even a calm cameraman was infected by the atmosphere at this moment, and his body couldn't help trembling, so that the camera swayed violently, but at this moment, dozens of kilometers away in the sky, in the slowly rising firelight, suddenly fell three cone-shaped objects blackened by fireworks, with the dual help of explosion and earth gravity, and fell rapidly towards a coalition ground observation post below, and arrived above the camp in a short time, and then the internal electronic fuse was activated, and the fire suddenly dispersed........
"Boom~~Boom~~~Boom~~~~"
In a series of more violent explosions, all cheering came to an abrupt end.......... (To be continued.) )
