On the outside of the Iraqi aircraft carrier formation, there are four self-produced frigates, which only have short-range anti-aircraft missiles, but further inward, there are three Hyundai-class and one Dreadnought Tripole, all of which are equipped with medium-range anti-aircraft missiles with an effective range of 40 kilometers, and further inward are two self-produced special air defense destroyers and two Glorious-class, all of which are regional anti-aircraft missiles with a range of 100 kilometers.

If 500 missiles had flown in, they might have exceeded their fire lane, but now only more than 50 have been launched, and it can only be said that the Americans are too stingy.

The first to be launched, is close to the aircraft carrier warship on the long-range SA-N-6 missile, the glorious revolver launcher, constantly burst into flames, the missile was launched, this missile range of 100 kilometers, the use of anti-jamming measures more radio command and non-section TVM guidance mode, it can not only hit high-altitude and high-speed targets, but also can effectively intercept the Harpoon, this low-altitude target, anti-saturation attack force is strong.

Two Iraqi-produced destroyers also began firing long-range SA-N-6 missiles, guided by phased array radars on the warships, and began to attack missiles flying from long distances. At this time, the Tomahawk flew at an altitude of about forty meters above sea level, so at a distance of seventy kilometers, they were able to accurately capture the target.

Due to the effect of the curvature of the earth, the maximum range of this anti-aircraft missile, was not effectively played.

While the first missiles were still flying towards the target, the top radar on the Hyundai class had also already detected the target, and according to the data assigned by the integrated fire control system, they began intense preparations for the launch of their own missiles.

Dreadnought III, in particular, has more firepower channels, so it can fight more targets at once.

Even if only one fish slips through the net, it is a big blow to them.

However, the United States is clearly in a weak position when it comes to anti-ship missiles between the two sides.

Because, the United States does not attach importance to anti-ship missiles, and the Tomahawk missiles they launched, which were only temporary cameos, were originally cruise missiles, but now they are regarded as anti-ship missiles, although they have a long range, but their speed is slow, and although they can do S maneuvers at the end of the stage under the control of computer software, they still cannot be compared with Iraq's anti-ship missiles.

Iraq's huge fleet of aircraft, first of all, carrier-based aircraft, began to launch their own carrying Kh-41 anti-ship missiles.

At sunset, the titanium alloy shell, flashing with an alluring light, accelerated with the carrier aircraft, and then, two missiles ignited one after the other and broke away from the pylons.

After breaking away from the Su-27K, they suddenly felt light, they turned around and flew towards those American planes, freeing their hands, it was time to beat the American carrier-based aircraft.

The Su-27K, which escorted them, had already shot down five Tomcats by this time, however, three themselves were shot down. They provided valuable time for the attack formations.

The fighters of the Americans, not one of them can run away, all let them disappear into the sea and the sky!

The addition of these fighters suddenly put the Americans' Tomcat fighter squadron into a bitter situation.

At this time, the Tu-22M and the J-7 also flew within the range of anti-ship missiles that could be launched, because the Tu-22M at this time was supersonic penetration, so the anti-ship missile under the wing was given a greater initial velocity, and it launched the anti-ship missile at a distance of 300 kilometers.

The J-7 continued to fly until it was 250 kilometers away before launching its own missile.

After the launch, the escorted Su-27 fighters did not participate in the continued battle, and they began to return home, after all, it was too far to come here from the land base.

On the sea, there was already a scene like a plague of locusts, and Iraq's most important attack had begun.

Thirty-seven Su-27Ks launched seventy-four anti-ship missiles, forty J-7 launched eighty anti-ship missiles, and sixteen Tu-22Ms launched thirty-two, a total of 186 anti-ship missiles, flew in batches and targets toward the US aircraft carrier formation.

Iraq's total inventory of 400 Kh-41 anti-ship missiles was consumed in this attack.

If against ordinary warships, then, it is enough to use cheap C801 family anti-ship missiles, but in the face of aircraft carrier formations, in the face of several Aegis warships, that kind of subsonic anti-ship missiles, will not have any effect.

What has an effect can only be a saturation attack of supersonic anti-ship missiles!

The anti-aircraft missiles of the Iraqi aircraft carrier group have already wiped out all the 50 Tomahawk missiles launched by the Americans, and only two of them flew near the outermost warship of the formation and were killed by the short-range 6-barreled 30-mm 730 guns.

However, in the face of nearly 200 anti-ship missiles fired by Iraq, the three Ticonderoga-class cruisers and three Burke-class destroyers of the US aircraft carrier formation immediately felt heavy pressure.

The E-2 AWACS aircraft are constantly tracking these targets, and they are now flying at more than twice the speed of sound, which is a test of their air defense system.

They no longer bothered to command the aircraft that were still fighting, and turned all their attention to tracking these anti-ship missiles.

The flight altitude of these missiles is very low, the initial altitude is only 40 meters, and when they get close to the distance of 100 kilometers, the altitude is reduced to 20 meters.

If it is a subsonic missile, it will take more than fifteen minutes to fly this distance, which can give them sufficient interception time, but now, the total flight time is only a little more than five minutes.

The radar of the Aegis system, which has not yet found the target.

These flat-panel phased array radars, no matter how advanced they are advertised, are now unable to detect those missiles that have flown to a distance of 60 kilometers, which is already a very dangerous distance. There is only one minute left for them to react.

Can't wait any longer! Although the target has not yet been intercepted, columns of smoke continue to rise on the Aegis warships, and one after another Standard 2 missiles flew into the sky.

The Standard 2 missile uses inertial/command plus semi-active radar composite guidance, and command correction can be carried out in the middle course, so if it is necessary now, the missile will be launched first, and then guided.

Nearly two hundred missiles, each of the Aegis warships, were assigned to more than thirty targets.

Although the interception has not yet begun, the formation commander knows what kind of risks they will face this time.

Although the Aegis system of the United States, when it was first developed, was designed to resist saturation strikes, and the efficiency of vertically launched ship-to-air missiles is much higher than that of oblique arm launchers, and the four-sided phased array radar can detect all surrounding situations at the same time, it does not mean that it can cope with all situations.

Because, his ability is far from meeting the requirements of anti-saturation attack.

Missiles can be launched at the same time, and phased array radar can also provide guidance in the initial stage, but this standard 2 missile with semi-active radar guidance cannot still rely on phased array radar guidance to achieve a high enough accuracy in the final stage.

Therefore, they installed three terminal guidance radars on the warship, and at most quickly carried out terminal guidance for four missiles one after another, that is, its ability to attack at the same time, that is, twelve targets, is far from the ability to deal with missile attacks coming from the surface.

Thirty targets, they will definitely not be able to intercept them, and the rest will have to be solved by short-range air defense systems.

However, what made them even more unimaginable was that they didn't even intercept twelve targets at all, they only intercepted five targets, and the probability of hitting was less than half.

Because, what flew was a supersonic anti-ship missile with more than two Mach more, leaving them with a short reaction time, which was already very short, and the missile was further reduced to a sea-skimming altitude of five meters.

Having broken through the defensive circle of standard missiles, for the American aircraft carrier formation, only the Phalanx system of naval guns, Sea Sparrow and short-range defense remained.

Thirty missiles were shot down, and the remaining anti-ship missiles, which continued to fly according to their pre-set targets.

For the Iraqi Navy, the biggest threat is the American aircraft carrier, so their main target is the two aircraft carriers of the Americans!

Now the remaining missiles, forty-two are headed for the Kitty Hawk and forty-five towards the Washington.

The Burke-class destroyer guarding the side of the Kitty Hawk turned on full power, using its own body to block the flank of the Kitty Hawk, and the two phalanxes on the ship kept spitting out tongues of fire, just now it had shot down an anti-ship missile with a naval gun, but it had a sense of powerlessness for so many missiles flying in.

In the Cold War, what the US Navy feared most was the saturation attack of the Soviets, which was almost insoluble, and now, the Soviet Union has collapsed, but it has been inherited by the Iraqis.

All the missiles, at this time, have already begun to make the final serpentine maneuver, and it is even more difficult to hit them.

It was the most tragic minute of the US Navy formation.

On the surface of the sea, there is gunsmoke everywhere.

All of the short-range defense systems on the Kitty Hawk, including the Sea Sparrow ship-to-air missiles, began firing non-stop.

Two anti-ship missiles, which got into the belly of that Burke-class destroyer, a two-hundred-kilogram warhead, exploded violently in its belly.

In the explosion, the Burke-class broke into two pieces and began to slowly sink into the water.

The captain of the Kitty Hawk could no longer care about pity for the Burke-class at this time, because, at this time, in front of him, there were still fifteen anti-ship missiles, which entered the last few seconds of flight.

The phalanx was spitting out tongues of fire, and finally, one missile was once again hit in the air and exploded, but the rest of the missiles had already begun to use their pointed heads to push up one meter above its waterline. (To be continued.) Please search, the novel is better and faster!)
