Or two salvos, passing through the tactical targets assigned by the AWACS aircraft in the rear, under the wings there were constant flashes of fire, and the missiles flew out. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info [High-quality update of online book network]

The Su-27K fighters, which are tasked with attacking missions, continue to fly at ultra-low altitudes, and as long as they get close to a distance of 300 kilometers, they can launch missiles under their wings.

For the pilots of the F-14 fighters, they are now faced with a choice, if they attack the opponent's escort fighters first, then, those attack aircraft groups, will break through their own line of defense, when they take off, they only have two Immortal Bird missiles on board, and the rest, or use AIM-120 missiles instead, after all, the Immortal Bird missiles do not have a high hit rate of attacking high-mobility targets, and the Sparrows have fallen behind.

In the nineties, the Immortal Bird missile underwent a mid-term improvement and replaced the solid circuit, but its design was outdated after all, and the huge size and weight led to the fact that the carrier aircraft could not make a high overload maneuver at all, and the Immortal Bird could only be carried by Tomcats. Therefore, the United States is more inclined to improve the AIM-120 and allow it to reach a longer range. Moreover, although the immortal bird has a longer range, various problems such as the identification of friend and foe have not brought the performance of this long-range missile into full play.

The US Tomcat fighter squadron has forgotten a very important thing: in an air battle, attacking the opponent's early warning aircraft is always the most important thing, however, Iraq's carrier-based early warning planes are 200 kilometers behind, while Saudi Arabia's early warning planes are 400 kilometers away, and they cannot overtake Iraq's fighters and directly attack the early warning planes.

The ultra-low-flying Su-27K fighter, after dodging the first round of blows of the Tomcat fighter, although it was shot down, continued to fly forward, they at this time. It's like paramecium that is not afraid of death, unconscious, and now, what they need is this fearless spirit.

The two E-2 AWACS planes were constantly monitoring, and at the same time, their own fighters were mobilized to intercept them, but the Tomcat fighters had already flown within the attack range of the fighters escorted by the opposing side. Once the two sides start fighting, it is not easy to get out.

The covering Su-27K fighters commanded by Reyes pounced on those Tomcat fighters and began to fire their own medium-range bombs.

Suddenly. The two Su-27K fighters flying at an ultra-low altitude below turned on the afterburner and began to climb high rapidly.

Are the Iraqis going to attack? At this time, they are still nearly 400 kilometers away from their own aircraft carrier formation! When did they have anti-ship missiles with such a long range? Is it some kind of Soviet weapon again? However, at such a long distance, only Granite missiles can reach it, right? Just that kind of missile. It is impossible to mount it on the Su-27K fighter, to be exact, there is no air-launched version of that missile.

The pilot on the American AWACS aircraft was somewhat hesitant, he did not notice. At this time, his plane was less than 300 kilometers away from the other party!

Iraq does not have long-range air-to-air missiles, otherwise, just in the battle. Why not use long-range air-to-air missiles at long distances?

He forgot, ten years ago. Iraq has used long-range air-to-air missiles to attack AWACS aircraft.

It's just that at that time, the carrier aircraft was the MiG-25, and the MiG-25, with a considerable height and speed, would provide a sufficient muzzle velocity for the missile and increase the range of the missile.

And the MiG-25 is impossible to take off from the ship, and the radome in the nose of the Su-27K, although large, cannot provide guidance information for the missile at a distance of three hundred kilometers.

However, AWACS can! The Iraqi AWACS aircraft behind them are already providing data for these two planes, and under the wings of these two planes, they are not equipped with stout anti-ship missiles with titanium alloy shells, but a new type of missiles that are quite elongated.

This missile, which is a new missile that uses a ramjet engine to attack AWACS aircraft with a longer range than the R-33, was later developed by Russia for a long time and introduced to the international market under the name KS-172. And now, this missile has fallen into the hands of Iraq, and after several years of development, this missile, which is specially designed to attack AWACS aircraft, has entered the sequence of Iraqi air weapons.

However, the maneuverability of this missile is not good, so it is okay to strike slow AWACS aircraft, and it is not so suitable for attacking flexible fighters, moreover, it is mainly used now with an anti-radiation seeker.

At an altitude of 3,000 meters, the two Su-27Ks each launched the two ultra-long-range missiles they carried, and at this time, they were only 250 kilometers away from the American AWACS aircraft.

In the formation of the attacking ships, two planes specially designed to attack early warning planes actually appeared, and they launched missiles at a distance of more than 200 kilometers.

This made the US early warning aircraft panic.

The propeller engine was spinning rapidly, and the pilot had already turned the throttle wide open, and at the same time lowered the altitude and did an S-maneuver in the hope of dodging the missile. Actually, they don't know, they just need to turn off the radar.

This is an anti-radiation seeker, not an active radar seeker. Although the Soviets were equipped with an active radar seeker in the final stage of development, the results were not as good as the passive seeker after Iraqi experiments.

The missile hit the body of the AWACS plane, blew up a big hole, and the AWACS plane staggered and fell into the sea.

The aircraft carriers in the rear immediately continued to catapult and take off new early warning planes, and they must keep early warning planes in the air in order to effectively monitor those fighters flying at ultra-low altitudes.

"Catapult malfunction." The captain of the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk heard this voice depressed, and at the critical moment, the chain dropped again. Moreover, this time it was not a slipway failure, but a high-pressure gas tank failure, which was not repaired for half an hour, and at the same time, all four catapults were unusable.

Dozens of planes were ejected with high intensity just now, so that the mature catapults of the United States could not support them, of course, another reason is that the Kitty Hawk is old after all.

This did not happen with the USS Washington, another AWACS aircraft that urgently ejected and took off, made a flight in safe airspace, and at the same time began to continue to monitor those enemy aircraft.

However, there is a five-minute gap in between, a five-minute gap. It is Iraq's hope of victory.

Because, at this time, the other Su-27K had already flown to a distance of 300 kilometers, and the Tu-22M bomber and the J-7 group had also arrived at the battlefield at this time.

If the AWACS aircraft were still there, they would have discovered the new ultra-low-altitude group, and now, during this time, the Iraqi Air Force has been brought close to a dangerous distance.

Two Su-27K fighters launched missiles. did not return home, but continued to climb higher, received instructions from AWACS aircraft, and conducted air combat with American fighters, which is also a benefit of the Su-27K. This heavy fighter, after throwing away the bulky missiles, can be converted to an air supremacy fighter, although it is now only equipped with two short-range missiles and two medium-range missiles, but, if you are lucky, you can still take out two of the opponent's aircraft.

Just when the air battle was raging. The ballistic missile, which had already been smashed from the sky, and after an emergency left full rudder at high speed, the captain of the Kitty Hawk still had palpitations. The warhead fell into the water, splashing a column of water more than 20 meters high, and the sound it provoked slapped on the hull of the ship. It sounds horrible, though. It also confirms one of their judgments.

This ballistic missile, if you want to hit an aircraft carrier, is not so easy, because, it lacks the last thing: the final terminal guidance.

Ballistic missiles, after all, are used to attack stationary targets, and want to hit moving targets at sea, and all anti-ship missiles, with an active radar seeker at the front end, are used to determine the final orientation of the target and modify their own course. However, for a ballistic missile that descends at more than ten times the speed of sound, it is no problem to install radar on its head, but there is hardly any material that can be used for a high-temperature shroud that can pass through radar waves.

Therefore, before re-entering the atmosphere, the last time it receives the signal from the satellite, it can only determine the possible position of the other party according to a pre-designed algorithm, and then collide with it.

Not all warships have such luck, the two largest aircraft carriers dodged it, and the cruiser with the second displacement also dodged, but one Arleigh Burke-class was smashed up, and the warhead of that huge energy penetrated the hull, and in this case, the hull did not break immediately, which is a miracle.

Moreover, the warhead did not hit the MK41 launch unit, otherwise, it would definitely have caused a huge explosion, however, the situation was not much better, the ammunition under the front of the ship guns was ignited, and the damage control personnel acted urgently, and the fire was not extinguished, and finally, in the midst of the detonation of the ammunition, the front head was blown up, the sea water swarmed in, and the captain finally had to give the order to abandon the ship.

For air defense, as long as there is a missile that slips through the net, it will cause a huge disaster. At present, Iraq is only using ordinary warheads, and if it is equipped with nuclear warheads, then the entire fleet has been wiped out at this time.

The air battle between the escort fighters had already begun, and as the most powerful US Navy, at this time, they actually had a sense of panic in their hearts that they had never felt before.

After the AWACS aircraft took off, it was immediately discovered that a new batch of fighters was flying at an ultra-low altitude, and in terms of quantity, it was definitely not the carrier-based aircraft on Iraq's aircraft carriers, but their land-based aircraft, but how could their land-based aircraft have such a large range?

Relying on escort fighters alone is certainly not enough, the Aegis warships are on high alert, ready to fight a roaring saturation attack.

At the same time, the attack aircraft group released by the US aircraft carrier formation has also entered the long-range defense circle of the Iraqi aircraft carrier group, and the first round of Tomahawk anti-ship missiles has also flown there.

The twenty escorting Su-27K fighters of the Iraqi aircraft carrier group immediately met them, and the battle, on the outside of the Iraqi aircraft carrier group, also began.
