Chapter 570: "Sinking" the Roosevelt
Li Zhan wouldn't be so nervous in another place, but this is the Mediterranean!
The Berian War is still going on!
Do you still have to think hard about what the USS Roosevelt Carrier Battle Group and the Black Sea Fleet Task Force are doing here?
Break into their core air defense ring and they will really fire.
Li Zhan had no choice but to adjust his course to avoid the Black Sea Fleet task force. The purpose of the commander of the Dai formation was obvious - to buy more time for Monet to find and lock on to the aircraft carrier Roosevelt first.
Rao made a gesture of bypassing, and when he was 50 kilometers away from the Black Sea Fleet task force, Li Zhan was still warned by the fire control radar. In the cockpit, the radar siren is commanded, and there is a cold female voice warning voice in British English.
In international practice, using fire control radar to shoot people means that the next action is to fire, so everyone silently abides by the unwritten rules - until last resort, Li Zhan had no choice but to make a maneuver to turn outward, indicating that he did not want to offend, he really wanted to shout in Chinese Brother own people, don't shoot.
After expressing his intention to offend, the radar lock warning was lifted, and Li Zhan's course was also deviated.
By the time he readjusted his course, Monet had three minutes to go to the low-altitude sea-to-sea detection range of the airborne radar, and only three minutes before he spotted the USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier battle group.
Li Zhan still has an advantage, because his flight altitude is higher, and the airborne radar has a longer range to search for the sea. Li Zhan turned off the onboard radar when he was maneuvering outward, and the radar wave signal would irritate the drunk Russian farmer. After the radar-locked alarm disappeared, Li Zhan turned on the airborne radar again.
This time, the drunk Russian farmers did not react aggressively, and they did not want to be overly troubled, after all, their main target was the USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier battle group.
Li Zhan increased the airspeed to 1100 kilometers per hour, which is only a little short of supersonic speed, but this is already the limit of what the Rafale M carrier-based fighter can do at an altitude of 8,000 meters.
But Li Zhan was bent on speeding up and regaining the lost time, so he chose to dive and accelerate!
The airspeed of the Rafale M carrier-based fighter covered in a drape broke through the sound barrier, and the weapons and ammunition on it were trembling, thanks to all models that can fly at supersonic speeds, otherwise it would not be uncommon to fall off from the pylon. The weapons and ammunition mounted were trembling, affecting the stability of the fighter, and the fuselage was also trembling, and Li Zhanqing clearly felt that the joystick was shaking at high frequency.
Li Zhan chose to dive at a small angle, accelerating with the help of gravitational acceleration, and when the airspeed reached 1,500 kilometers per hour, he resumed level flight, and the altitude was only 3,000 meters at this time.
He didn't know that every maneuver he was making had stepped on the G-spot of the entire mission, so he was surprised when a huge reflection suddenly appeared on the tactical heads-up. Li Zhan was sure that it was a large aircraft carrier almost immediately.
He is too familiar with the characteristics of radar wave reflection signals of large aircraft carriers!
To be precise, the pilots of the Chinese Navy are well acquainted with the characteristics of radar wave reflection signals of large aircraft carriers!
"It's you!" Li Zhan quickly adjusted the course and aimed the nose of the aircraft carrier Roosevelt at a distance of 70 kilometers, and reported to the mothership while entering the fire control locking procedure: "Chicken nest chicken nest, good luck here, I have found the Roosevelt, fire control locking is underway, over!" ”
The commander of the formation was stunned, the staff officer was also stunned, Monet even shook his hands, and scolded in his heart, how did this kid Faka move so fast, how did he do it, did he also know the general location of the Roosevelt?
Monet knew he had lost, he hadn't been able to see the Roosevelt from the radar yet, and Li Zhan had already begun to enter the fire lock-on stage.
But he still has a chance - what if Li Zhan is targeting the wrong target?
You must know that the USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier battle group is a logistics support ship that is not much smaller, and if it is locked incorrectly, it needs to be restarted.
He sped up his search while waiting for a briefing from the mothership's intelligence command center.
At a distance of 60 kilometers from the USS Roosevelt, Li Zhan completed the fire control lock, and the next step was to launch the air-launched Exocet anti-ship missile, of course, this is training, so the missile will not really be shot, although the fighter is hung with two air-launched Exocet anti-ship missiles.
"Good luck to report, the lockdown on the Roosevelt has been completed, request an attack!" Li Zhan reported to the intelligence command center of the mothership as required.
According to the plan, the pilot is considered successful if he does this, so the formation commander should answer: "Remove the combat state, you have achieved the training goal." ”
However......
I don't know if it was inertia or other reasons, the commander of the formation actually instructed: "You can attack, good luck comes!" ”
This sentence petrified everyone!
No, there is one person who is not petrified, and he is Li Zhan!
When Li Zhan heard this command, he subconsciously pressed the launch button!
Will the air-launched Exocet anti-ship missile be launched?
In the course of the exercise, even if the fighter plane carried live ammunition, even if the launch button was pressed during the simulated attack, the live ammunition would not be fired, because the pilot did not power up the ammunition, especially the missile, which had to be powered on in order to work properly. And missiles, ammunition these are a second insurance, before take-off the ground crew will remove the first insurance, this is the hardest insurance, can only be lifted manually, the second insurance is controlled by the pilot - press the launch button to lift, provided that the power must be on.
But!
At this moment, Li Zhan is completely operating in accordance with their training requirements, and the training requirements include the step of electrifying the missile, and the French Navy means that everything is close to actual combat - this is very familiar.
So......
Tragedy has happened!
Li Zhan fired two air-launched Exocet anti-ship missiles in succession.
The devil knows if he made all the moves subconsciously or out of some ulterior motives!
But he carried out the orders of the commander of the mothership formation, and he was not wrong!
When everyone was stunned by the command of the formation commander, Li Zhan shot out all two AM-39 "Exocet" air-launched anti-ship missiles.
Exocet missiles, the famous Exocet missiles, the anti-ship missiles with the largest record of sinking surface ships in actual combat, and the famous British destroyer "Sheffield" died in its hands.
They faithfully followed the instructions and flew towards the aircraft carrier Roosevelt, which was more than fifty kilometers away, one after the other!
"Faka, Faka, Faka! No, no, no! Thick hair, thick hair! "The commander of the formation, with gray temples, realized almost a second after giving the command that he had given a fatally wrong order, and he shouted frantically to stop, but it was too late.
The radar officer stared at the display and said in a voice of incredible disbelief and infinite fear: "He, he launched, he, good luck to launch two Exocets, he launched it, my god ......"
"Notify the Roosevelt immediately and let them ......" The formation commander calmed down instantly, but he found that he did not know what to do.
What is certain is that his career is over, and if the USS Roosevelt is hit, then he will definitely be tried by a court-martial, and the cascade of consequences that will result is definitely not something that he can afford personally.
"It can be saved!" The staff officer calmed down and hurriedly said, "Quickly inform the Roosevelt and let them enter the highest level of air defense alert!" Let their Burke destroyers pull out the air defense formation and go to the highest alert! Fast! Fast! Fast! ”
The communications staff officer hurriedly contacted the USS Roosevelt, but he didn't notice that the hand holding the microphone was trembling as if he had Parkinson's disease. It's scary, it's scary.
At this moment, no one will blame Li Zhan, because the pilot is carrying out the orders of the formation commander, and you can't suspect that the pilot has other intentions just because he executes the instructions neatly!
I usually meet people like this: come and beat me stupid! Most people know that he is verbally provocative and not really asking you to hit him. But a very small number of people really rushed up and beat him up—you told me to beat him, and I've never seen anyone with such a hobby.
That's in place.
This is a troop, it is a troop that is ordered and forbidden, no matter which country's troops, orders and prohibitions are the highest principle, and the commander's instructions must be carried out without discount, regardless of whether they are right or wrong!
Li Zhan did a very good job at this, and he was a very good fighter pilot!
Mo Ren'an, Zhang Xueyang, Cao Fufei, Tang Leilei, and the military attache in the command tower could know everything that happened from the radio at the same time, and they were no less shocked than the French.
"Is the formation commander crazy?" Zhang Xueyang looked at a Dai Jian aviation captain who was accompanying him with an incredible gaze, and asked unceremoniously, "Does he have a mental illness?" ”
Mo Ren'an thought about dozens of countermeasures in a few seconds, and after making eye contact with the military attaché, Mo Ren'an's expression was serious and cold, which contained some restrained anger, and said coldly to the highest-ranking aviation captain on duty on the scene: "We reserve the right to investigate the relevant responsible persons!" ”
A rake?
No!
The commander of the formation gave the wrong order in advance, and all the consequences arising from this are borne by the responsible party, including the responsibility for the mental loss of the pilot!
The captain on duty smiled bitterly, his throat was like blocked, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only respond to Mo Ren'an's cold and angry expression with a complicated gaze.
Tang Leilei was young after all, his face turned red, and he clenched his fists tightly to control it, so he didn't jump three feet high!
