Rear of the formation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info≦≧
The Badr and Sambuk missile boats combined and finally sank two of the boats that were close to them, and the other two fled the battlefield after seeing the situation.
The Iraqi technicians on the Badr began an intense rush to repair the antenna, and the antenna was damaged, and they had no spare parts, so they could only repair the original antenna.
They are now competing with the Iranian missiles, so each of them is working desperately, not caring that they will be attacked at any time, and climb onto the broken mast in the tail.
Fix the antenna!
At the same time, on the Abuha, the atmosphere also reached a tense level.
On the surface of the sea, there are still two silkworm missiles flying, and it is very fatal that they will arrive almost at the same time, and now there is only a dozen seconds left for the Abuha, and they can only shoot down one of them.
Although after completing the guidance of the first batch of missiles, the fire control system urgently turned to the second batch of missiles that had been sent out earlier, and the third batch of missiles had also flown out of the hair barrel, but when the guidance of the second batch of missiles was completed, the third batch of missiles had already passed by the missiles flying from the other side!
"Prepare the decoy hair shè device, the left artillery prepares. ≦≧," Talal said.
In addition to intercepting with anti-aircraft missiles, the latter method was to use decoy jamming devices and at the same time intercept them with short-range speed guns, and on the Abuha, four 40 mm caliber twin Breda guns were equipped.
The two silkworm missiles are still flying smoothly, they don't know that their brother has been bombed into the water, they only know that they are aiming at their own target!
Just four kilometers away from the Abuha, one of the Silkworm missiles was accurately intercepted by the Sea Sidewinder. Exploded into a fireball on the surface of the sea, which was clearly visible from the bridge.
Seeing the fireball on the sea in the distance, the sailors on the tankers around shouted excitedly, they did not know that the threat had not yet been lifted.
After completing the guidance of the second batch of Sea Sidewinder missiles, the fire control radar turned around, and sure enough, it found that the third batch of intercepted missiles had already flown past the target to be intercepted, and the Silkworm missile. Has entered the post-attack program!
This time, the Silkworm missile did not lose its target, and it began to climb towards the pre-set target, and then dived to attack. ≦≧
"Immediately send shè decoy bombs." Talal ordered.
Suddenly, the Gaeda K2 decoy shè device arranged in the middle began to send shè platinum strips into the air, and the ten tubes shè in turn, forming a barrier composed of platinum strips on the side of the Abuha.
Terminal guidance radar with a single-pulse system, in this jamming. Suddenly the target was also lost, although the developers claimed that this missile has a strong anti-jamming ability, but in fact. The anti-jamming capabilities of such missiles are very poor.
The Silkworm missile lost its target!
At this time, it was less than a kilometer away from the Abuha.
The twin 40 mm guns on the Abuha are Italian-made guns that are mainly used for short-range defense, and are controlled by the Dado fire control system to deal with sea-skimming missiles flying at the end. Has a certain level of wreckage ability.
The latter Silkworm missile. After losing its target, it finally did not escape the blow of the 40 mm caliber gun, and at a distance of several hundred meters from the Abuha, it exploded, and the fragments grazed the head of the Abuha and flew over, and the horror of the debris flying over the bridge could be felt. ≦≧
This volley of the Abuha. Finally, the ability of the Sea Rattlesnake to counter sea-skimming missiles and the possibility of terminal artillery interception were confirmed. Major General Talal was very happy, just by virtue of this exploit. After he returns, he will not have a problem being promoted to lieutenant general. In Saudi Arabia's defense system, there are probably not many people who have really fought wars.
"Prepare the missile to reload." Talal said.
The Sea Sidewinder has eight missiles, four on the left and right sides of the guidance radar, and the interception has already used up six missiles, and the one that comes down has to be lifted out of the spare missiles from the bomb storage device below the deck and installed in place.
Who knows, before he started to move, he heard the nervous voice of the radar cāo crew: "Three more missiles have been found, sixty kilometers away!" ”
Talal suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, the Iranians really wanted their lives!
Now on the Abuha, there are only two missiles that can fire shè, and the decoy shells have also run out, and they have not yet started to load, and the Iranians actually send shè missiles again!
After firing the first missile, the Iranians did not immediately transfer, they began to prepare for the second missile. ≦≧ when they were preparing during the day, they had already refueled the second missile and completed all the tests, so after the first missile was fired, they sorted out the hair shè frame, hoisted the second missile, and entered the hair shè accurately.
This is actually very dangerous, liquid missiles can only be refueled before the shè, otherwise, the fuel will corrode the fuel tank, and there will be a danger in the hoisting.
However, the daring Iranians did it anyway.
Is it to reload first or to prepare for interception first? If you load the bullet first, it will be too late to send shè again, but if you intercept it first, then you can only intercept one more!
Interception with short-range artillery is only a means of the latter, and there is no 80 percent certainty, not to mention that two missiles flying in the same time will be killed with artillery.
What to do?
At this moment, good news finally came from the Badr in the rear: the electrical equipment was finally repaired!
The Iraqi technicians, with great fear, finally repaired the antenna of the jamming equipment and allowed the jamming equipment to start work again. ≦≧
The 2 Hawkeye pre-aircraft in the sky, which has been cruising for several hours, needs to return to the aircraft carrier.
They monitored the whole process, and after the source of interference of the escort formation disappeared, Iran immediately sent shè missiles, which was also expected by them, at first the Iranians did not send shè missiles, just because they were interfered with, and later, three missiles flew at the same time, so that they began to feel that this must be the moment when the formation came tragically, who knows, the Saudi Navy, which has never been very famous, the frigate that has just been in service for less than a few months, actually succeeded in intercepting three missiles! It seems that although French goods are more expensive, they can also be used.
However, they also know that because what was intercepted this time was only an old-fashioned silkworm missile, this first-generation liquid anti-ship missile, which is large in size and powerful, and is also accompanied by the shortcomings of poor maneuverability and backward electrical equipment.
If the missiles, the French Exocet, and the American-made Harpoons will all perform S maneuvers in the later stage, and with the double-barreled artillery at the end, the probability of interception is almost zero.
Therefore, when the jamming signal appeared again, the 2nd pre-jing machine knew that there was nothing to look forward to, their pre-jing machine was small, the fuel load was small, and it could only provide a few hours of pre-jing, so it had to return to the aircraft carrier.
"Be ready to intercept missiles at any time." Talal said.
Now that the jamming equipment has been repaired, then, their task is over, there is no need to rush to reload again, and the last two missiles are used for emergencies.
At this time, the silkworm missile was still flying, and it did not know that it was already in the source of strong electromagnetic interference.
When the silkworm missile reached the predetermined time, the missile radar was turned on, and at this time, it immediately found that it did not know anything, and that in front of it was an electromagnetic signal, and its radar beam disappeared without a trace.
The silkworm missile, knowing that it was interfered with, chose to climb, and when it reached an altitude of 300 meters, it did not see anything, and then it continued to climb, and when it reached an altitude of 500 meters, it still did not see it!
The Silkworm missile was completely sad, it didn't know that it had actually flown over the target.
After continuing to fly for more than ten seconds, the Silkworm missile finally chose to commit suicide and started the self-destruct program.
In future wars, it is a very tragic thing to have no electromagnetic power, and it will become deaf and blind.
On the sea, the action of the small boats in the dark to beat the oil tanker has also been crushed, because there are three small boats surrounding the Tam, which gnawed on the stones, and was hit head-on by the Sidewinder special forces fighters on the oil tanker.
The small boat that besieged the warship Badr without measuring its own strength was also sunk twice, and fled in disarray.
The rest, fighting on their own, only one had better luck, the rocket that sent shè hit one of the tankers, but alas, he hit the upper deck of the tanker and did not affect the structure of the lower deck, and the fire was extinguished.
The formation suffered this attack, Jingtixing was heightened, and the Abuha, which had finished loading the Sea Sidewinder missiles, had been searching the sea surface all the time, and did not find that the Iranians had fired another shè missile. And several missile boats, which have been patrolling the left and right sides of the formation, have been patrolling to prevent the Iranian boats from attacking again.
By the time they sailed out of the Strait of Hormuz and into the Arabian Sea, it was dawn.
This thrilling escort mission is over, but this is only the beginning.
Hearing the report sent back by the escort formation, Prince Sultan, who was in charge of this escort mission, immediately ordered the escort operation to be temporarily stopped and waited for the next instructions.
Although this time it was thrilling, it was considered that there was no attack on the tanker, but it may not be the same next time.
There must be a proper escort plan!
Prince Sultan rushed back to Riyadh, hoping to consult with the king about what to do.
As soon as the morning sun rose, Prince Sultan hurried back to the palace, and when he entered the palace, he saw a man who surprised him.
"Qusay, why did you come to Saudi Arabia?"
"Why, Your Highness the Prince, am I not welcome?"
"No, you are very welcome, you are a hero of our entire Arab world, on the front line of Khomeini against Iran." Prince Sultan said. (To be continued.) )
