Chapter 955: Tomahawk Launch
Without the correction of GPS, in a long voyage, the inertial navigation system will constantly have errors, which requires the correction of the digital map, in the mountains, the terrain is undulating, the data correction is easy, and on the plains, there are no more landmarks, and it is difficult to correct. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAt the same time, it is easy to hide the missile from the mountains, after all, there are few people there, and it is not easy to be detected.
Therefore, as long as you know where the opponent is launching from and where the target is, you can deduce its general course of action.
Why don't you use the current report to find out where the opponent's Tomahawk missiles might be, and then set up an ambush from the middle?
Although the Tomahawk missile showed off its might in later generations, its advantage was that it flew at an ultra-low altitude, which was quite hidden, and if the route was known, it was easy to take it down, not to mention that these self-propelled anti-aircraft guns of the Shilka River, even if it was a hand-held AK rifle, could knock down the Tomahawk missile.
This is a subsonic missile, which flies very slowly, and in the process of flight, it will never do any maneuvering, which is the most suitable target.
However, if this is the case, it will be too cheap for the Americans, and their current tactical thinking is to create chaos, in this case, it is better to give the Americans another chance to do so!
"Mr. Ral, I have an idea." Andrei told Günter Lal: "The Americans are going to launch Tomahawk missiles, and we can help them just in time." ”
………
Sicily, Italy.
The climate of the Mediterranean Sea is warm and pleasant, Sicily is a quiet and peaceful scene, the coast of the island, are tall trees, lush, and the middle of the island, are high mountains, unique landscape, so that Sicily every year to visit quite a lot of people.
Now, in a valley in the middle, it is a high level of alert, patrolling Italian troops, all around the valley are under martial law, and in the valley, several large vehicles driven by four axles are preparing in an intense and orderly manner.
Rough off-road tires, buzzing engine, top is a six-pack launch tube, at this time, the launch tube of this car is under the support of the hydraulic cylinder, slowly rising, in the front of the vehicle in the operating room, several operators are nervously preparing.
"The missile has been detected and the digital map is being loaded."
"The digital map has been loaded, the target is set, the target image is loaded, and the course of action is determined."
"The target has been stapled, and the flight path has been determined."
83 years! The Tomahawk missile has just completed its final test flight, and their unit is the first unit to be equipped with Tomahawk missiles, and in order to ensure the smooth operation of these missiles, some of the troops are technicians of US arms companies.
The launch was carried out according to the correct plan, and at this time, the launch of the missile also entered a tense countdown.
"Wait for the launch order."
Wait for the launch order! Although all the preparations have been completed, the final order has to be given by the Parker Barracks!
At this time, in Stuttgart, Bernard was staring at a large-scale map.
"General, our personnel in ambush at the base have confirmed that the target is to haunt the Nerfenich Air Force Base, and the main location of activity is the tower and a small building next to the tower."
The targets, of course, are Gunter Lahr and Andre! As long as they are killed, the leaderless German army will easily fall apart!
Now, in addition to the urgent defense line of the opponent's offensive line by their own army, the top level of NATO has planned a decapitation operation, using cruise missiles to take out these targets!
The first step is to confirm the location of the target! After all, prisoners of the American and British troops were also held there! If the Tomahawk cruise missile attack is wrong, it will discredit the American army!
For this reason, they have been confirmed in many ways, including their own intelligence personnel who stayed in that base and did not expose themselves!
Now, the reports of your own intelligence officers have arrived, and the target is still there!
After all, the American and British troops were captured at Camp House-Hardet, and after that, the dormitories there were temporarily turned into prisons for prisoners of war.
Moreover, the air base there was the most suitable place to command the German army, both the air force and the ground forces, which was very suitable for them as a command.
Moreover, the daytime reconnaissance has also found that there is a dense anti-aircraft fire, a large number of anti-aircraft missiles and anti-aircraft artillery of all kinds, so it can be said that if the United States hits a Pershing missile now, people may be able to prevent it!
Therefore, it can only be the use of cruise missiles!
But why do you always have a sense of foreboding? Could it be that I have failed too much recently, and it has not been smooth, and my spirit has been in a trance?
In any case, the battle always has to go on, and the decapitation operation is the most appropriate combat plan to exchange the greatest victory at the minimum cost.
"Now the timing is right, our missile, it needs to fly for an hour, and now it is launched, and when we get there, it is just dusk, which is the time when people's vigilance is the lowest." John on the side said, "We can't wait any longer. ”
Can't wait any longer!
"Order, launch at once, the target remains the same, the tower of the Nerfenich airbase, the command center, the hangar." Bernard said.
His order was quickly transmitted to Sicily, and after receiving the order, the fingers of the missile operator's hand pressed the red launch button.
There is no earth shaking, there is no spectacular sight, this is not a ballistic missile, just a small missile with a length of five or six meters!
The booster in the tail is ignited first, pushing the missile out of the launch canister, the wings on both sides of the missile are extended, and after flying into the sky for dozens of meters, the booster falls off and the main engine ignites.
The small turbofan engine has not strong thrust, but the fuel consumption rate is quite low, so that the land-based Tomahawk has a range of nearly 3,000 kilometers! American industrial technology is vividly reflected here.
(Although China has also developed cruise missiles, there is always a gap in small turbofan engines, which are large in size, small in thrust, and high in fuel consumption.) )
One another, another! One launcher has six missiles, and now, the five launchers deployed on the position, in a matter of minutes, will launch all thirty Tomahawk missiles they carry!
The missile burrowed into the valley ahead, disappeared from the sight of the missilemen, and soon penetrated into the sea in northern Sicily, further reducing the altitude.
The choice to launch in Sicily was to prevent detection by the Soviets! Although there were AWACS aircraft on the side of the GDR, it was also difficult to detect missiles launched from Sicily!
However, they didn't know that at the time of the missile's launch, the infrared rays in the tail had been discovered by reconnaissance satellites in space, and these reconnaissance satellites had been searching for Sicily all along! (To be continued.) )
