USS Chicago heavy cruiser. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Fire, fire now! This order was not only passed on to their own fighters, but also to the escorting warships, all of which were given the right to open fire!

Lieutenant Colonel Johnson clenched his fists and gave the order: "Brass Knight fire!" ”

The first generation of long-range heavy anti-aircraft missiles of the US Navy also undertook the mission of protecting the airspace of the aircraft carrier formation, and now, those two Soviet planes that came to make trouble cannot let them go back alive!

With the order of Lieutenant Colonel Johnson, the large SPS-43 search radar at the rear of the warship was turned on at full power, at this time, the MiG-25 had flown over its own head, and the search radar could easily capture all the data of the target, and with the operation of the radar hand, the SPS-30 tracking radar took over the baton, and the circular radar standing on the second deck continued to track the target.

On the huge launch rack in front, the launchers of the two brass knights that existed against the sky rotated, aiming in the direction of the two fighters that flew away, and then various launch data were loaded into the missiles.

"Two salvos, one target." Lieutenant Colonel Johnson said.

The current warships do not yet have vertical launch nests that resist saturation attacks like the Mk41, and the two-arm launchers can only launch two missiles at a time, and for the sake of insurance, to accurately hit the target, it is generally two missiles aimed at one target.

Time flies quickly, and the well-trained naval personnel compress the launch time to the shortest, however, the reaction of the electronic system also takes time, and it took 57 seconds from giving the order to preparing for launch!

"Launch!" As the order was given, a launch operator's finger pressed the red launch button.

On the front deck, two missiles, ignited instantly, blazing flames, covering the front deck entirely.

With a length of 11.6 meters, a diameter of 0.7 meters, and a weight of more than 3,500 kilograms, this anti-aircraft missile is comparable to the heavy anti-ship missiles that appeared later. At the same time, this missile also uses the technologies that are now recognized as long-range anti-aircraft missiles, for example, ramjet engines!

The Brass Knight missile is a cylindrical body consisting of two stages connected in series, the first stage is a solid booster with a stable tail fin, and the second stage uses a ramjet engine with a length of 0.71 meters and a liquid fuel mixed with kerosene and a volatile oil.

The solid booster ignited first, and the red-hot wake baked the deck to a pulp. Since it was a modification of the position of the deck gun, the arrangement of such a large anti-aircraft missile was not considered at the time of construction, and this tail flame could not be eliminated, so it could only be allowed to burn.

Fortunately, the personnel on the warship have long been accustomed to it, hiding far away, if they stay here at this time, it will definitely become barbecue.

The solid booster quickly pushed the missile to a speed of Mach 0.8 and began to fall off, and then, the missile shook again, a blazing wake appeared, and the ramjet engine ignited!

This missile adopts a rotating wing-type aerodynamic layout, with the control rudder surface located in the middle of the missile body and the rear part of the missile body being the tail fin, all arranged in an "X" shape and in the same plane. At this time, the central cone of the head of the missile body is compressing air, and the annular air intake of the ramjet engine around the cone is pressing a steady stream of air into the engine to participate in combustion.

Ramjet engine! It can save the weight of carrying oxidizers, and it can also simplify the composition of the engine, and almost all of the anti-aircraft missiles of this era are made of ramjet engines, such as the British Sea Javelin, such as the later Soviet SAM-6.

Poked a hornet's nest! The Americans actually launched missiles! Hearing the sound of the rudimentary radar warning receiver in the headset, Andre couldn't help but feel depressed in his heart.

Although he was flying a MiG-25 fighter, if he was at an altitude of 30,000 meters, even at an altitude of 25,000 meters, he would certainly not be afraid of anything, and the Americans would not be able to threaten him.

But now, they have only climbed to 18,000, and they are only forty kilometers away from the aircraft carrier formation of the Americans, which is still within the killing radius of their anti-aircraft missiles!

What's coming? Andrei thought quickly in his heart, at this distance, the beagle and the Tatar would definitely not be able to fly so far, either the undead bird launched by the American carrier-based aircraft, or the brass knight launched by the naval ship!

In short, it is a radar-guided missile, not an infrared missile, and that's it, the two missiles are not the same way to get rid of them.

The MiG-25 cockpit inherited the characteristics of the usual Soviet fighters, without any backward vision, and Andrei could only judge by the sound of a rudimentary radar warning receiver.

At this time, two brass knights are flying quickly, the ramjet engine gives the missile the ability to exceed Mach two at high speed, and when the distance is already close to ten kilometers, the SPG-49 target irradiation radar is activated, which is a single-pulse radar that can carry out continuous wave irradiation to achieve self-guidance at the end of the missile.

As the missile approached, the sound of the radar warning receiver began to become more rapid.

Andrei counted in his mind, ten, nine, eight, seven, and when he counted to zero, he pushed the lever and pushed the rudder hard, while his other hand controlled the release of the platinum bar.

To deal with radar-guided missiles, it is necessary to violently maneuver to get rid of the opponent when it is coming, plus platinum strip interference, as long as the timing is right, it is quite easy to get rid of!

After all, the maneuverability of missiles now is limited, and long-range missiles have less overload due to their large size and weight, and moreover, whether it is a semi-active seeker or an active seeker, electronic technology is far from reaching the level of AIM-120, so it is too easy to get rid of a few air-to-air missiles in this era!

The huge steel fighter, under Andre's operation, made a 4G overload steering action, and at the same time, the released platinum bars flew all over the sky, and the two huge brass knight missiles that caught up behind all lost their targets at this moment.

Watching the two huge missiles fly past his side, and flew a few kilometers away before choosing to self-detonate, Andrei was also a little stunned, if he didn't dodge in time just now, it would be very dangerous to be hit by such a missile, even if it was within the killing radius.

"032, 032, what's going on?" Alexander's question came from the headset.

Just now the two planes were flying in formation, ready to speed up and break away, Andrei made a maneuver, and the speed slowed down, and Alexander noticed the fire in the distant sky, and immediately felt nervous.

"Everything works." Andrei's answer was very calm: "027, keep climbing!" ”

After dodging this missile attack, the long-range anti-aircraft missiles of the Americans' aircraft carrier formation will not be able to reach them, and they can calmly return to the ship with Alexander.

However, at this moment, the sound of the radar alarm receiver came from the headset again, and he was locked again!
