Volume VII Chapter 968 Submarine-to-Air Missiles

readx;

A picture captured by a certain American satellite was posted on the Internet and was quickly reprinted countless times. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This is a picture of the starry sky universe with a black background, the picture on the picture is relatively clear, you can see the blue planet Earth covered with the atmosphere, and you can also see a satellite in orbit, but what really makes people crazy and curious in this picture is the black flying wing aircraft.

The black tailless wing-like aircraft is similar to some aircraft with flying wing designs on the earth, such as the most famous American B-2 strategic bomber, but the flying wing aircraft in this picture still has many differences from the B-2 bomber, such as the angle of the swept wing is smaller, which is conducive to high-speed flight and reduces air resistance. And the wings look different from the thin shape of the plane in the general impression, some of which are angular, and the most exaggerated are the three engine vents of this mysterious aircraft.

The engine vents of one large, two small and one main and two auxiliary are spraying white and yellowish tail flames, flying around the earth in space.

Many people thought that this picture was PS at first sight, but after some professional judgment, it was thought that PS might have a lower surname, and then some more similar pictures were revealed, and the places that were revealed belonged to some official space organizations and folk astronomical hobby organizations.

An unnamed NASA official told a media outlet that many of the pictures circulating on the Internet were captured by satellites of various countries. The official also said that NASA initially thought it was an alien vehicle, but later suspected that it was a space shuttle secretly researched by a certain country. But this news has not been confirmed!

Is it an alien visitor or a new product from some space power? Either way, it is a very important thing for the state and civil society organizations.

Taking countries as an example, only the United States currently has a space shuttle, and although other countries are also conducting similar research and have some actions of sending astronauts into the sky, the United States is undoubtedly the first space power in this regard.

But the mysterious winged aircraft in these photos looks more beautiful than the stupid and thick space shuttle in the United States, and it is also smaller.

The United States, the European Union, Russia, and China have set up investigative agencies to investigate the origin of the mysterious flying machine. The TK21 space fighter jet, which completed the orbit of the earth, also landed safely at the launch site in the town of Badada after flying around the earth twice.

The American space shuttle is launched vertically and lands on the ground through the runway like a normal aircraft, while the TK21 fighter takes off vertically and lands vertically, and if you put aside other data, the TK21 fighter is no different from a helicopter.

Li Mo was very happy about the successful test flight of the TK21 fighter, and he also learned that the main weapon of this new space fighter is the laser attack derived from the laser anti-missile technology. In the current operational requirements, the main combat mission of future space fighters will be to attack all targets in space, such as the enemy's satellites and space stations. And in the plan, the space fighter will also be equipped with conventional weapons such as missiles in the future.

Li Mo praised the space fighter development team, and also praised the test pilot, and asked Hussein, the chief of staff, to be responsible for promoting the test pilot to a first-class rank. Subsequently, Li Mo asked Xu Dong, the leader of the space fighter development team, to further improve the TK21 fighter and strive to have combat effectiveness one day earlier.

Hmph, doesn't the West always clamoring that if it has the right to information, it has the initiative in war? Send out space fighters and shoot down all your satellites, and see how you still have the right to information!

Without satellites, an army like the United States, which is armed entirely with high technology, would have its combat effectiveness reduced by half. It's not even as brave as some African armies to really fight.

But just after Li Mo returned to Mogadishu, bad news came that the United States had taken the initiative to provoke a war in the Persian Gulf.

Although Li Mo was mentally prepared for this before sending the Strategic Air Force out to attack the Mediterranean Mixed Fleet, he still did not expect the United States to move so quickly.

Regarding the war reports in the Persian Gulf, the commanders of the Intelligence Department and the Joint Air Force came with news every few moments. From the bad news at the beginning to the later participation of the Strategic Air Force in the war, the initiative gradually tilted towards the United Air Force, and the smile on Li Mo's face began to be revealed.

In his view, this air battle is also the only large-scale air battle that the United States can provoke in a short period of time, although the US Air Force is strong, but because of its status as the only superpower and its behavior of meddling everywhere in the world, there are many potential enemies of the United States, and the area that needs to be defended and controlled is also very large, the US Air Force is large, but the stall is also large, and there are not many reserve forces that can be easily mobilized after being rolled out, and the last air war in the Persian Gulf consumed some. If the nearly 200 US planes are consumed in this air battle, the United States' mobile strength will not be enough to continue to compete with the United Air Force in the Persian Gulf.

Of course, the Americans can choose to abandon some areas and continue to mobilize air power into the Persian Gulf to confront or even go to war with the joint air force, but with the experience of two failures, the Americans will definitely not do this until they find a solution to the threat of the Somali strategic air force, otherwise it is too stupid to continue to send them even if they know that they will be sent to death? You must know that although the defeat of the United States in the Persian Gulf has a certain impact on the United States to maintain its influence and control in the Middle East, it does not mean that the Third OECD can replace the United States as the number one force in the Middle East. The U.S. won't allow it, and other forces won't allow it, and the third OECD doesn't have that strength.

Li Mo does not want to dominate the Middle East, he just wants to break a gap in the Western-dominated social order and system, and give Somalia and other countries and peoples who yearn for freedom and peace a little respite.

22:15。

This is the latest report on the decisive aerial battle in the Persian Gulf. The U.S. Air Force and Navy have lost 22 fighter jets, of which F-22 fighters account for nearly half of the losses because they are the main targets of the Strategic Air Force, with a total of 10 F-22 fighters shot down.

In the air battle in the Persian Gulf, the United States mobilized two squadrons of F-22 fighters, with a total of just over 40 fighters, and this time a quarter of them have been shot down, and the losses are not insignificant. If you add the downed in the last air battle, the US Air Force is almost about to lose a squadron of F-22s, which is equivalent to throwing nearly 10 billion dollars in US dollars into the Persian Gulf.

On the side of the United Air Force, it has lost 15 aircraft so far, including one Su-27 fighter, and the rest are MiG-29 and J-10, while Iran's 'expensive' F-14 has lost only one because it has always lost the lowest number of aircraft in the rear of the fleet.

At this time in the air battle, if there are no accidents, it is already expected that the United Air Force will defeat the US Air Force again, and even Li Mo thinks so, this is not arrogance, but confidence in the Somali Strategic Air Force.

"Dear viewers and friends, the balance of victory has been tilted in favor of the United Air Force, and if nothing happens, the United Air Force will once again win the air battle...... In front of the camera, a reporter from a certain TV station in the United Arab Emirates was talking eloquently.

And it was at this time that the unexpected happened.

Behind the reporter, and in the direction of the camera, on the sea surface, suddenly a piece of sea surface was slightly raised, as if something was about to break out of the water. Then, a white missile warhead sticks out from under the sea, then the missile body, and finally on the drumming sea, a white missile shoots out into the sky with a tail flame.

"Oh...... Allah above, what is that...... Is it a missile? The reporter also felt the movement behind him, and when he turned his head, his eyes were about to bulge.

Watching the missile break through the air, the reporter was also a quick reflex person, and immediately screamed excitedly, "That's a submarine-launched missile!" There are also submarines underneath...... Americans, right...... It must be the submarines of the Americans. Allah is above, and the Americans are really ready here! ”

As the reporter said, it is a submarine-launched missile, and it is also a submarine-to-air missile that has been controversial in the world. Although submarine-to-air missiles have been proposed for a long time, and countries such as the former Soviet Union and the United Kingdom have even equipped submarines with submarines, there is still considerable controversy about whether submarines need anti-aircraft missiles.

The mainstream believes that the biggest advantage of submarines is the surname of concealment, and it is because concealment is difficult to detect that submarines have gradually become the key development direction of the navies of various countries. Once the greatest advantage of the submarine's concealment is gone, the submarine will not even be as good as a frigate.

And the main purpose of the development of submarine-to-air missiles is to allow submarines to come out of concealment on their own and attack targets from the sky. In this way, without the air cover of their own side, it is difficult to predict the final outcome of the submarine. Therefore, a submarine with anti-ship and anti-submarine weapons, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles launched on land is already a 'multi-purpose' weapon, and there is no need to endanger the survival of submarines for the sake of the goal of anti-aircraft.

At this time, if the submarine is discovered by anti-submarine aircraft, the only thing the submarine can do is to evade, and it depends on how lucky it is, but if the submarine has the ability to counterattack the air, at least it must have the ability to counterattack targets such as anti-submarine helicopters at short range and low altitude.

Both views have their merits, but the first one is currently dominant. This is not only because people from this point of view are unwilling to change the mode of submarine warfare, but because there are still many technical difficulties, such as the guidance of submarine-to-air missiles, because submarines generally detect targets through sonar, and most of them are passive, and the radar on submarines is generally not far away, and most of the time they do not dare to turn on, otherwise it is easy to expose the target. Without the help of radar, if a missile wants to hit an aircraft, it can only rely on the radar of the missile itself to guide or a third party to guide, such as taking over the homing guidance of the missile through satellites and early warning aircraft.

Because of all the drawbacks and technical defects, submarine-to-air missiles are still only being tried by a few countries, when did the U.S. submarines be equipped with submarine-to-air missiles?
