In the east, the sun has risen from sea level, and the morning glow reflects the horizon red.

The Air Force did its best, dispatching two B-2 bombers, which were shipped, while ten B-52 bombers, firing hundreds of improved anti-ship Tomahawks, flew towards Pakistan's aircraft carrier formation.

But, whatever one may say, the US Navy lost this time! Inside the bridge of the Nimitz, Poimdexter's mood was in a mess.

During the attack last night, the aircraft carrier battle group received a message to prevent the Pakistanis from retaliating! Therefore, the remaining Hornet fighters of the aircraft carrier battle group are all mounted on air superiority, waiting for the alarm of the E-2 early warning aircraft cruising in the sky at any time.

In fact, now the aircraft carrier battle group has no combat capability, and it is better to go directly to Diego Garcia Island and anchor there, but in this case, the face of the US Navy will be lost!

So, they are still cruising the sea, showing the control of the US Navy here.

At an altitude of 8,000 meters, the E-2 early warning aircraft is patrolling, moving the radar to the sky, which can effectively detect the sneak attack fighters flying from the sea at an ultra-low altitude, which is also a necessary type of aircraft for the aircraft carrier, and without a fixed-wing early warning aircraft, the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier is reduced by half.

Now, after six hours of patrolling, the crew of this E-2 AWACS aircraft is quite tired.

"Enterprise, Enterprise, AWACS No. 2647 requested to return." The pilot reported on the radio.

Later, an echo came from the headset: "In two minutes, AWACS No. 2653 will climb to patrol altitude and take over from No. 2647, please continue to hold on for two minutes." ”

"Received 2647." After the pilot finished speaking, he took off the headphones and rubbed his head.

In order to guarantee uninterrupted monitoring. You have to wait for the next AWACS plane to come up, and your own plane can return to the ship, and you can return in two minutes, and after returning to the flight, you must take a hot shower first, and then sleep. The smell of this plane is terrible.

The captain on the other side glanced outside, a Hornet fighter was flying with him, which was a necessary protective measure, and the AWACS aircraft, as a multiplier of air combat power, was also the primary target of the enemy's attack.

The pilot on the Hornet, apparently, was even more tired, and the cockpit of the fighter was even more cramped.

"No. 2647. It can be returned, No. 2647, it can be returned. Finally, the command came from the headset, and the pilot pushed the stick and flew in the direction of the carrier.

The three operators in the back also began to turn off various switches, and since there was already a replacement early warning aircraft coming up, they had completed their tasks.

Just at the moment when the radar was about to be turned off. One of the radar operators shouted: "Stop, there are missiles!" ”

screen. There are four bright spots, and they are flying towards you!

At the same time, the AWACS aircraft No. 2653, which had just taken over the early warning mission, turned on the radar and almost found the same bright spots. There was also an exclamation in the headphones: "Four missiles!" Eighty kilometers away! ”

The fighter plane that launched the missile is not visible in the radar, it is obviously a stealth aircraft! At this time, those four flying missiles must also be Pakistan's long-range active sky flash missiles with ramjet engines!

If it is a fighter, it is possible to escape under the attack of missiles. And the slow AWACS aircraft, the aerodynamic performance after the top of the big plate is even lower, and there is absolutely no chance of escape!

The personnel on the two AWACS planes were all frightened at this time, of course they knew that the other party was attacking their own side! Maybe the other party has been waiting for you for a long time! Wait until your own AWACS aircraft are handed over, and the two will fight together!

They guessed accurately, the stealth cat formation that took off from the air base in southern India had already snooped on the sidelines, and when the two AWACS aircraft were handed over, they finally launched an attack!

The bomb bays inside the belly of the two stealth cats opened, and each launched two ultra-long-range active sky flash missiles, two of which shot at a target and were sure to knock each other down!

And the other two stealth cats are even closer to the US aircraft carrier formation, and once the Americans urgently eject the newly taken AWACS aircraft, they will beat each other down as soon as possible!

The Americans don't have many fighters left, so in the huge airspace, only the fighters protecting the AWACS aircraft are in the sky, and there are no other fighters cruising!

This is probably also because the formation of the Americans has approached the island of Diego Garcia and thinks that Pakistan is not capable of attacking, right?

The escorting Hornet fighters flew in the direction from which the missiles came, but it was useless, the air-to-air missiles of the ramjet engines that flew in exceeded Mach 3, and although the Hornet fighters turned on the afterburner to increase speed, it was only Mach 1.5, and when they could not fly a distance of 50 kilometers, the missiles fired came into close contact with the early warning aircraft.

"Boom!" An active sky flash missile hit the tail of the AWACS aircraft, and two of the four vertical vertical tails were knocked off in an instant, and the AWACS aircraft continued to fly forward in a leisurely manner, and was hit by a second missile, and the engine on one side of the AWACS aircraft stopped, and in an instant it fell under the sea.

And the other AWACS aircraft was unlucky, it was directly hit by a volley and exploded, and the missile hit the fuel tank, this E-2 AWACS aircraft that had just flown up, the fuel tank was almost full, and after it was detonated, it turned into fragments in the air.

The Hornet fighter turned on the advanced pulse Doppler radar, the airspace in front of it was clean, nothing was found, the pilot could only visually search the airspace, and as a result, only one air-to-air missile was fired!

In front of the fourth-generation aircraft, the third-generation aircraft only has the share of abuse! Although Pakistan's fourth-generation aircraft is still relatively primitive and has gaps in performance, it is also much more advanced than the Hornet!

The Pakistani pilots did not use radar locking, but only used optoelectronic radar, and after obtaining the initial position of the target, they launched an active sky flash missile, which flew 20 kilometers, and the missile's seeker locked onto the Hornet.

Two AWACS aircraft in front were reimbursed at the same time! Point Dexter was shocked suddenly, and the Pakistani attack began!

"Quick, quick!" On the deck of the Nimitz, people in various vests were shuttling rapidly, guiding the plane.

Just two E-2s, both on the Enterprise, and now the only spare one is this one on the Nimitz, and the AWACS aircraft has been killed, which means that Pakistan's ultra-low-altitude attack at sea is about to begin! You can't lose your eyes, you have to catapult and take off immediately!

Although an aircraft carrier is equipped with five E-2s, each aircraft is left empty for no more than six hours, and it has to be rotated once in a day, and every time it flies back, it has to be towed to the hangar for routine maintenance, and the flight attendants also have to rest, so there is not enough early warning aircraft that can be ejected into the air at any time. Both were knocked out at the same time, only now this one.

In the midst of the steam steam rising from the catapult filling the deck, the E-2 AWACS aircraft scrambled into the air!

The turboshaft engines on both sides are rotating rapidly, the propellers are pushing the air flow, driving the AWACS aircraft to accelerate and climb, the personnel on the deck continue to be busy, and there are other Hornets that need to catapult and take off, and even the A-6 attack aircraft is also equipped with Sidewinder missiles, although it is very stupid to use this attack aircraft to fight enemy aircraft, but at least it can help eliminate some flying anti-ship missiles and reduce the pressure on their own Aegis warships.

The high-ranking officials of the US Navy on the bridge were all worried in their hearts, and they had lost a large number of carrier-based aircraft, could they win this naval battle?

"Boom!" The E-2 AWACS aircraft, which had taken off and had climbed less than two thousand meters, suddenly turned into a fireball in the sky, and the officers and men of a Ticonderoga-class cruiser in front of the formation clearly saw a white smoke flying by, which coincided with the AWACS aircraft.

Damn, where have all the Pakistani fighters flown to?

The phased array radar of the Ticonderoga-class cruiser searched for the target at full power, and finally, when all the beams of electromagnetic waves were scanned to the right airspace, a vague target was found sixty kilometers away.

Damn it!

Sure enough, it's a stealth plane! In the US equipment sequence, only the phased array radar of the Aegis system can detect stealth aircraft, but the distance of the opponent is too far, and the signal of 60 kilometers has begun to blur, and the standard 2 Block III. missile, although the effective range exceeds 100 kilometers, can not reliably capture the target, and only when it is close to a distance of 20 kilometers can it be sure to shoot down the opponent.

At this time, the other side shot down its own AWACS aircraft, and it had already fled far away, and at a distance of 100 kilometers, it disappeared from the radar screen.

Losing this AWACS aircraft, in half an hour, the entire aircraft carrier formation will lose its eyes! The entire aircraft carrier formation was instantly enveloped in a tense atmosphere, and it was arranged in a maritime air defense formation, and all kinds of Aegis warships, even frigates with some defensive capabilities, were nervously preparing.

In the north, at an altitude of three hundred kilometers, attack formations appeared, the number of which was fifty! Pakistan is almost exhausted and has come to attack!

The only Hornet fighters were catapulted into the air one after another, hoping to build an interception line in the distance.

It's a pity that the other side began to climb higher at an altitude of 300 kilometers, and at a distance of 200 kilometers, it climbed to an altitude of 15,000 kilometers, and then, in countless columns of smoke, supersonic missiles were shot out one by one!

If in the past, Pakistan would have paid casualties if this distance had to break through the air defense circle of the US aircraft carriers, but now, the carrier-based aircraft have been reimbursed for most of the US aircraft carrier formation, and the interception line of the outer ring has been lost. (To be continued.) )
