Chapter 814: The Wall of Tomcats
The battle in the sky is measured in seconds. Pakistani fighter planes were unharmed by US hackers, and the Americans simply could not find any back door to exploit.
Their American counterparts, on the other hand, sensed that something was wrong.
The navigation system of the fighter began to alarm, lost the correction of GPS, and could only use the original inertial navigation system to carry out, which is not the most dangerous, the main thing is that the satellite communication system on the fighter plane also failed synchronously, after being far away from the aircraft carrier, the naval fighter that mainly relies on satellites to relay communication lost this ability in an instant, although there is still a data link to use, which also makes the American pilots feel uneasy.
The fighter plane continued to fly, the distance between the two sides gradually approached, there was a rattling sound in the headset, strong electromagnetic interference, so that the American pilot had to turn off the radio, use the data link system to interact data, with frequency hopping technology data link system has a certain anti-interference ability.
The distance has reached one hundred and fifty kilometers! In order to protect the attack aircraft group in the rear of the enemy and launch missiles at a distance of 100 kilometers from the opponent's sea formation, the other side must break the opponent's air protection circle!
There are only thirty Tomcat fighters, and there may be attack aircraft carrying anti-ship missiles, which are really used to seize air supremacy, and I am afraid that there are only a dozen of them, and there are forty Super Hornets mounted on their side, which can be killed and dealt with numerical superiority!
The United States has always attached importance to quality, but now compared with the Panda fighter, the quality is indeed poor, and it can only be made up for by quantity.
This is also the gap between the aircraft carriers of the two sides, Pakistan's is a small aircraft carrier after all. The number of fighters carried is limited, and in order to reserve the ability to attack a second time, the number of first catapults and take-offs is not much, and the United States, both of which are supercarriers, want to kill with one blow. Therefore, all the main carrier-based aircraft of their own side are ejected.
This naval battle between the two sides was an attack by the United States and a defense by Pakistan. Both in terms of total tonnage and quantity, the United States has the advantage, but war is definitely not just about comparing numbers, otherwise, there would be no need to fight. The two sides competed, and the winner came out.
The Americans guessed incorrectly, the Pakistani fighters that catapulted and took off this time were all airborne mounts!
Rick piloted his own fighter and rushed to the front, although the carrier-based aircraft has not yet been stealth cat, but the performance of this fighter has also improved a lot.
"Attention. Two salvos, aimed at one target. Prepare for the first round of over-the-horizon interception. Rick shouted over the radio, "Target assigned." ”
Originally, as the captain of the flight wing, Rick was supposed to command on the aircraft carrier, but the desire to fight made him fly the fighter again. Compared with commanding in the rear, it is easier to deal with all kinds of unexpected problems by being on the front line.
Super Bumblebee? It's a joke! The Americans actually eliminated the Tomcat fighter as if they were dying, which is simply self-defeating!
If the opponent is also equipped with Tomcat fighters, then their own side is at a distance of 200 kilometers. It is about to face the first wave of the Immortal Bird missiles fired by the opponent, and the improved Immortal Bird missiles have a range of up to 250 kilometers!
At present, it is only equipped with medium-range AIM-120 missiles, which are rocket-powered missiles with a maximum range of only 70 kilometers, and the distance of head-on interception must be within 50 kilometers to be sure.
In other words, now the other party is only beaten and cannot fight back!
As the AWACS aircraft commanding in the rear continued to assign targets to various fighters, the first wave of attacks officially began!
On the belly of the aircraft, where the Immortal Bird missiles were originally mounted, the active sky flash missiles that were now mounted with ramjet engines were mounted, and with the flashing of fire, the two missiles flew away from the launch frame one after another, dragging white smoke and disappearing from view.
Through the data of the AWACS aircraft, the initial launch data of the missile itself is stapled, and the radars of each carrier aircraft have not yet been turned on at this time!
In the early days of the missiles, they flew by inertia, and one by one, dragging the tongues of fire, drew strips of white smoke in the sky, and the scene was very spectacular.
The battle has officially begun! At this time, the distance between the two sides has been close to 100 kilometers, and the Super Hornets have turned on their radars, preparing to lock on the Pakistani fighters coming from the opposite airspace.
The radar antenna in the gap of the flat plate radiates electromagnetic waves one after another, and under the strong electromagnetic interference, it searches for the predetermined target in front, and at this moment, the warning of the early warning aircraft also comes.
Note! The Pakistani swarm launched missiles!
Launched a missile? No one heard the screeching sound of the radar warning receiver in the headset, and the other party launched the missile without locking onto himself? Even if the Tomcat fighter's radar is advanced, the Immortal Bird missile is still actively guided, and it must be locked first, right? After all, the Super Hornet uses an omnidirectional alarm receiver.
The moment before the Americans is a stark choice, whether to prepare to maneuver out of it, reoccupy the position, or continue to fly at level and create conditions for the launch of AIM-120 missiles?
"Attention, get ready to get rid of the missiles!" After thinking for only a second, the commander of the 45 carrier-based aircraft wing gave an order, you must know that the Tomcat fighters of the Pakistanis not only have immortal bird missiles, but also long-range missiles with advanced ramjet engines, and at this time, the other side is afraid that the latter kind of missiles will be shot, and this kind of missile will be hit if it is not careful.
Turn on the afterburner, all the fighters continue to speed up, if it is still a Tomcat fighter, it has already entered the high-speed sprint stage at this time, and the Super Hornet, which focuses on medium and low speed, is still accelerating slowly.
At this moment, the sound of the radar alarm receiver came from the headset one after another, and the other party began to lock on to himself!
Lock after launch? Is Pakistan's technology so powerful?
No one answered them, in training, being locked means being destroyed, and in real combat, there is a fifty percent chance of being locked, and the rest depends on good luck.
Turn sideways and get rid of the opposing radar lock! The American pilots did everything they could, and as long as they dodged the missile strikes, the two sides were able to get close to a fair distance.
The radar is turned on, locks on to the target, provides guidance information for the active sky flash, corrects the trajectory in the middle, and at the same time, there are also some targets on the radar screen, which are filtered out by the pulse Doppler effect.
However, the missiles launched in the past will not be wasted! When approaching a distance of 20 kilometers, if the transmitter data correction is not received, the missile will jump into mad dog mode, that is, attack the nearest fighter in the field of vision! It's not against me! It is also a way that only active radar-guided missiles have, which makes people smell discolored.
More than 60 missiles are flying fast, the ramjet engine makes the maximum speed of the missiles exceed Mach 4, and the attack envelope is very wide.
A Super Hornet spun sideways, and just now, the pilot flew head-on, fearlessly rushed at the missile, and at the last moment, pulled the lever into his arms, and kicked the rudder to death. The instantaneous overload made him look black, but his consciousness was still awake and he escaped!
After a second, his eyes gradually brightened, and he regained his sight, gasping for breath, and his spirit just now was also highly nervous.
Well, now it's time to relax.
However, just as he turned his head and skillfully searched the airspace, the long, thin rod-like missile appeared in his field of vision, and there was a rectangular air intake below, which was a mad dog missile flying in mode!
Damn it! The pilot shouted, he pulled the lever and climbed sharply upward, hoping to get rid of the other party, but later, he found that he had made a mistake, for a missile that burned out the fuel of the rocket engine and flew by inertia, the climb may be able to get rid of the other party, but for a missile that uses a ramjet engine and has continuous power throughout the whole process, climbing with the missile is simply looking for death!
"Boom!" At the moment when the missile hit him, he pulled the ejection handle, and with a huge force of impact, he left the cockpit along with the ejection seat.
Umbrella flowers everywhere, not just yourself!
In the first round of attacks, Pakistan shot down twenty Super Hornets! There is the relationship between the missile superiority of the ramjet engine and the superiority of the Tomcat fighter itself, and there is also the reason why the attack in outer space has caused the Americans to mess up.
And the Americans still have a numerical advantage, twenty Super Hornets mounted on air superiority, survived the first round of over-the-horizon attacks, they started afterburner, continue to speed up the fighters, want to start a medium-range air combat with Pakistani fighters, as long as they get close to the position where they can launch AIM-120 missiles, relying on their own missile superiority, they can completely gain the upper hand!
Pakistan's self-produced active sky flash missile is technically backward to the AIM-120 missile, and the United States is still the first in the world in military science and technology, but the United States is very confident and unwilling to go the wrong way.
At this time, a scene that made the Americans depressed happened, the Pakistani fighters, after the active sky flash missile entered the stage of autonomous guidance for the last twenty kilometers, they did not continue to move forward and entangle, but turned on the afterburner and accelerated backwards!
While the Americans were scrambling to get rid of these incoming missiles, the Pakistani Tomcat fighters sprinted back 50 kilometers, and then turned back, re-100 kilometers away from the American fighters, and launched a second wave of missile attacks at this distance!
The Americans suffered a big loss at this distance of fifty kilometers!
When they regrouped and prepared to continue to break through the defense line of the Pakistanis, another cat wall in Pakistan was re-established, and the Americans wanted to come over, and they were destined to run into blood! (To be continued.) )
