Chapter 1017 The Cold Wind Howling (II)

With the piercing siren, one by one the sleeping sailors jumped up from their beds, many people didn't even have time to put on their clothes, they just put on their shoes and rushed outside, the red and yellow warning lights were flickering wildly, and the two aircraft carrier battle groups were like a herd of beasts that had blown up their nests, moving wildly.

The aircraft carriers Washington and Lincoln began to release fighter jets quickly, and most of them carried interceptor missiles, and at the same time, the Stennis who received the news in the distance also began to release fighters and released all the early warning aircraft into the air.

Needless to say, these highlights are all missiles, and the two AWACS aircraft cross-captured, so all 500 missiles were captured by the AWACS aircraft, but capturing them does not mean that the crisis is over, in fact, at this moment, not only the people in the entire Crimean theater have been alarmed, but even the US Pacific Command and the Pentagon have been completely alarmed, in fact, even if they know the road, there is no way to make any instructions, because the missiles are captured from the AWACS aircraft, The time until the missiles reach the position of the fleet is only 4 minutes!

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang" A series of fiery red pillars of light, a total of 8 Burke-class missile destroyers, and 4 frigates began to launch SM-2 anti-aircraft missiles frantically, although the latest Burke-class has a total of 96 units, but it is impossible for all of the 96 units to be loaded with anti-aircraft missiles, and the maximum number of spare bombs in the 96 units is 64.

But a lot has been consumed before, and 8 of these 96 cells are loaded with Sparrow missiles, that is, the nearest anti-aircraft missiles. There are four of each cell, and in addition to the Sparrow, other anti-ship missiles, SM-2 anti-aircraft missiles, anti-submarine missiles, ground-to-earth Tomahawk missiles and, most importantly, four cells will carry four nuclear warheads. Leaving all that aside, there isn't much left, so even with 8 Burke-class missile destroyers and 4 frigates, a total of only 480 SM-2s were launched!

Then, although the Stennis also launched a sufficient number of anti-aircraft missiles, the total number was only 620, and you must know that such anti-aircraft missiles as Lu Dao intercepted ordinary anti-ship missiles. The ratio is also basically 2:1, with an average of 2 missiles intercepting 1 anti-ship missile, but if it is a supersonic anti-ship missile, it is already good to reach 3:1! And now the number of interceptor missiles and anti-ship missiles has not even reached 2:1.

Although it is said that there are air-launched interceptor missiles on the released fighters, the number of air-launched interceptor missiles and the performance of the radar are slightly worse. But even with the interceptor missiles on the fighter jets, there are less than 800! But this is already the largest number of missiles that the three US aircraft carrier battle groups can launch in a short period of time! The U.S. government thought that Russia would strike back. But to kill them, they did not expect that Russia actually had so many shore-based anti-ship missiles in its hands.

It is important to know that in fact, the number of shore-based anti-ship missiles in various countries in reserve is not large at all. Just like China, although there are also shore-based anti-ship missiles, there are only about 200 of them, because the practical limitations of this thing are really great, and the range of the submarine-launched and ship-launched types is the same as that of the shore-based type. But it is more flexible, so countries are building more air-launched, submarine-launched, and ship-launched anti-ship missiles.

Shore-based anti-ship missiles just have. And keep a certain amount of data, but the number is not much, who knows that Russia can actually get 500 pieces at a time?! And all of them are supersonic anti-ship missiles! The gap between supersonic anti-ship missiles and ordinary anti-ship missiles is sky-wide! There is no way to compare the penetration ability alone! The entire US military leadership could not have imagined that these anti-ship missiles had been produced in recent months.

It is after Russia took control of the Crimea region that the United States has been making statements not recognizing the so-called application of the Crimea region to join the Russian Federation, so Putin only in case he reached the order to build this anti-ship missile, because Putin himself sent the Black Sea Fleet to block the Ukrainian fleet directly in the port, so Putin himself knows the limitations of the Black Sea here, and he also knows that if the United States really sends an aircraft carrier battle group in, Russia's Black Sea Fleet is estimated to be able to stay in the port.

And these shore-based anti-ship missiles are the best way to break this situation, Putin is just in case, but who knows that the road has played such a big role now, and now the mood of the people in the US fleet is directly nervous, all the interceptor missiles that can be launched in a short period of time have been launched, although there are still spare bombs, but in the ammunition warehouse, it is too late to launch the second round, only the last round of sea sparrows remains, its maximum range is only 22 kilometers, The maximum combat altitude is only 3,000 meters, but the maximum speed is only 2.5 times the speed of sound, which is considered the most rearly defensive means, although there is also a phalanx defense system.

But the phalanx is not bad for defense against aircraft, and it is used to protect against supersonic anti-ship missiles, it can only be said that it is better than nothing. Looking from the air, the line of fire brought up by the massive missiles is like a red meteor across the night sky, from God's point of view, it is called a spectacular, and Yang Yiwei is excited to see it. The whole process seems tedious, but it is actually quite fast, because it takes less than 8 minutes from the time the Russian anti-ship missile takes off to the target sea area.

Yang Yiwei was lamenting the grandeur of the scene, but Xiaoxi suddenly said: "I'm afraid the United States is going to be unlucky." "How?" Yang Yiwei immediately asked strangely.

"Did you notice those 50 T-50s? Also as no less than the F22 stealth fighter, its stealth penetration ability is undoubted, if it is in peacetime, forget it, but now although there are more than 6 early warning aircraft in the sky, but even if the radar of 6 early warning aircraft can scan enough targets, but the computer can't calculate it, not to mention the current T-50 bypass line, it is estimated that the American early warning aircraft did not find it, after all, this stealth fighter is still penetrating at low altitude, and the probability of being found is too low, Even if the American radar is more advanced than the Russian one. ”

"Although the Hawkeye 2000 of the United States says that the radar can display 2,000 targets, it commands up to 45 fighters to fight, or tracks 250 targets at the same time, and similarly, the maximum guidance is 250 to 300 targets, although there are 6 early warning aircraft in the sky, but the fighters taking off from the three aircraft carriers are close to 120, even if there is no need to guide the fighters to fight now, but at the moment in the night sky, the flight routes of these fighters also need a certain command, which will consume some computing resources."

"They have to track 500 fast targets of supersonic anti-ship missiles, which is the amount of calculation of two AWACS aircraft, and also guide their own more than 700 missiles to attack and intercept target missiles, these alone will cost at least 5 AWACS aircraft all the computing power, at this time these 50 bypass T-50 is simply impossible to find, according to the route of these 50 T-50 detours, it is estimated that they will be directly close to the third Stennis aircraft carrier battle group outside the attack range of supersonic anti-ship missiles, There's no defense there. 50 T-50s can carry 100 anti-ship missiles, and these 100 anti-ship missiles really cost the United States its own life. Xiaoxi pulled out the virtual map and directly gave Yang Yiwei an introduction.

With Konishi's movements, the group represented by these 50 T-50s also appeared in China's strategic command center, and the chairman's eyes were also attracted by these 50 T50s. The aerial images and data began to flicker incessantly, and as the first Standard 2 anti-aircraft missile intercepted the first latest Bastion modified supersonic anti-ship missile, the entire sea surface seemed to begin to burst into flames.

Countless fiery red rays began to collide with each other frantically, exploding, and the violent flames almost illuminated dozens of kilometers of the sea into a patch of red. But at the moment, these anti-ship missiles are flying at ultra-low altitudes, and the distance from the sea surface is less than 5 meters, and at this altitude, the launched SM-2 interceptor missile has only the first chance to intercept it head-on.

If you don't concentrate the first time, even if the SM-2 has a strong overload capacity and can turn around and pursue, don't forget that the opponent's cruise speed is also Mach 2.5, which can't catch up at all. More importantly, interceptor missiles cannot be frontally hedged at the same height as they face each other, and they generally dive down from a high altitude and then detonate directly at a very close distance.

The rate of direct collision is not high, but even this explosive interception is very limited, because the distance from the sea is too low, a little later, at such a speed, it directly hits the sea, and the speed of both sides is fast, it is possible that although the interceptor missile exploded, but did not detonate the incoming missile. When the first missile exploded, the whole air seemed to be connected, and in just twenty or thirty seconds, all the missiles exploded into a ball, but when all the interceptor missiles were detonated, there were 87 anti-ship missiles left in the air, and only 413 were destroyed!

With an average ratio of 2:1, this is already a very high success rate, but even so, the remaining 87 are the most serious blow to the American fleet! At this moment, many fighters in the air have gone crazy, directly turned on the afterburner, and at the same time entered the supersonic state, directly chasing these missiles and frantically attacking with aerial guns, but the time is too short, although it is really two shots, but it has also entered the ultimate distance of thirty kilometers after the most Lu!

The radars of the remaining 85 anti-ship missiles began to operate, and after scanning the two huge aircraft carrier battle groups of the United States, the tail flames of the 85 anti-ship missiles were fierce! The original crimson flame almost turned blue, and the anti-ship missile, which had a cruising speed of Mach 2.5, entered the ultimate sprint speed of Mach 4 in almost a very short time!
