The next step is to glide on the surface of the sea and take off, just like an airplane takeoff, but in a smoother and less dangerous way. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Just as Colombo pushed the throttle and was about to take off, Cruise's message suddenly came from the headphones: "Stop taking off, stop taking off!" Quick, come back! ”

What's going on?

Cruise was very anxious, and he didn't expect that the situation in the open sea today would suddenly become complicated!

When his ground effect aircraft was preparing for sea trials, Cruise also turned on the radar on the oil platform, it is night, there is no need to worry about satellite detection, however, it is still necessary to guard against the aircraft overhead, especially, in case there is an American early warning aircraft, which finds a target moving quickly on the sea surface of its own side, it will definitely be alert!

Ground effect aircraft have no stealth ability, flying close to the sea surface, it is easy for the Americans to think that it is a prelude to their own attack, so the Americans will definitely send fighters to intercept! The precious ground effect aircraft can't be destroyed like this!

Therefore, Cruise immediately issued an order for his ground effect to fly back to Qi, and at the same time, his eyes continued to look at the radar screen, looking at the bright spots that appeared on the screen.

The height is three thousand, the speed is eight hundred, these are two fast fighters! Judging by the radar echo, it looks very much like a Tomcat fighter! However, if it is really a Tomcat, it means that the US aircraft carrier must also be within 500 kilometers of its own oil platform!

This opportunity is really rare! Thinking of this, Cruise was already a little distracted.

If you want to attack an American aircraft carrier, it is not so simple, and one of the most important points is to discover! Although the aircraft carrier formation is huge, when sailing at sea, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and until now, the aircraft carrier formation of the Soviet Navy has not been discovered by the Americans, which is a living example!

During the day, you can also rely on reconnaissance satellites to search in the sea area where the other side is expected to appear, and this is indeed what you have done, and the previous attacks on the British aircraft carrier group were like this.

However, the ground effect aircraft can't attack during the day, and the danger is too great! Daytime is also the time when the vigilance of Americans is the highest, so ground-effect aircraft may not be able to fly within a hundred kilometers of the other side!

For the Soviet Union, this was not a problem, the nemesis specially tailored by the Soviet Union to American aircraft carriers were all big guys with a range of more than 500 kilometers, even if they were launched during the day, there was no need to worry about the counterattack of the Americans, at least the warships were safe.

However, it is impossible for the Soviet Union to export that kind of mass destruction, and this kind of Sunburn missile with a range of 100 kilometers must put the carrier aircraft at great risk, and in order to complete the mission, it must be put into a night attack!

Night attacks, needless to say anything else, finding targets is a big problem!

Of course, if your own aircraft carrier formation is there, you can take off carrier-based early warning aircraft to search for the US aircraft carrier formation and indicate the target, which is also a plan. However, it is best to let the Argentine Navy complete such a major event as sinking the US aircraft carrier independently.

Fighting aircraft carriers is a systematic project, the Soviet Union has been studying the threat of the United States aircraft carrier formation, that is shore-based bombers, warships, submarines, satellites in the sky, work together, and now, Argentina only wants to rely on two ground effect aircraft to fight aircraft carriers, the difficulty is huge, you can imagine!

Everything is back to the starting point, how to spot the aircraft carriers of the Americans?

In later generations, Huaxia has been engaged in anti-ship ballistic missiles, and once this kind of missile is launched, it cannot be intercepted, and it is a kind of weapon of mass destruction, but attacking aircraft carriers is a systematic project, and how to discover the US aircraft carrier formation and how to accurately determine their position are all major problems, so Huaxia will launch marine reconnaissance satellites and constantly improve its ability to discover aircraft carrier formations.

And now, it's a good opportunity, because the Americans have come to the door!

Due to the influence of the curvature of the earth, the radar now deployed on the offshore platform can detect the air at a distance of 200 kilometers, but the sea detection is only a few tens of kilometers.

This trick is to analyze the flight position of the American fighters! In later generations, in the real Falklands War, when the Argentine Navy's aging maritime reconnaissance planes were decommissioned, the Argentines could only rely on the radar on the ground, and it was in this way that they searched.

Now, the ground radar is constantly searching, tracking the two Tomcat fighters in the distance, at this time, the other party is not completely close to their own oil platform, just brushing the edge, and flying over.

Time passed little by little, just an hour later, and the two targets reappeared.

What does this mean? This is a routine cruise of the US Navy! Their planes are cruising over a radius of several hundred kilometers around the aircraft carrier!

Like Soviet aircraft carriers, carrier-based early warning aircraft cannot be dispatched at all times, although each aircraft carrier has four early warning aircraft, but as long as it is not a formal combat state, they will not frequently take off early warning aircraft, and the defense of aircraft carrier formations is achieved by ordinary carrier-based aircraft! Although the Tomcat fighter is a carrier-based fighter, its powerful radar and sea scanning method are also very powerful, which can play a role in early warning.

It's their routine cruise! This also shows that the US Navy's aircraft carrier formation should be in the center of the circle with a radius of 500 kilometers patrolled by these two fighters! Of course, it is possible to be closer!

This is a great opportunity! The other side is a two-plane formation, and if a circle goes around, it will take an hour, and when these two planes fly away, their own ground effect aircraft will have enough time to set off to attack the Americans' aircraft carrier formation!

What a rare opportunity! Cruise connected the satellite phone next to him, picked it up, and said inside: "I'm looking for General Andrei, I ask for a tentative attack!" ”

………

The wide sea is magnificent, even at night, the waves still do not stop, continuing to lap the side of the ship, in the waves, one after another, warships, are sailing at high speed.

It's been the tenth day they've been here! Except for a defeat on the first day, they have not moved for the past few days, and have been sailing quietly on the sea. Everyone knows that this is the hardest part, they are waiting, waiting for orders from the White House, waiting for the arrival of the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier battle group.
