Historically, between 1982 and 1985, the Soviet Union sent 3 mock satellites and 18 prototype satellites for testing. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info{{}} The GLONASS system began to be officially built in 1985, and from 1985 to 1986, 6 real GLONASS satellites were launched, which improved the timing and frequency standards compared to the prototype satellites, and enhanced the stability of the frequency, but their white spoon life was still only about 16 months. Since then, 12 new satellites have been released, which are designed to last for two years, with an average actual lifespan of 22 months.

By 1987, GLONASS had released a total of 30 satellites, including early prototype satellites, and 9 satellites were available in orbit. In 1988, the satellite was further improved, weighing 1,400 kilograms, using three-axis stabilization technology and Jing dense cesium atomic clock, and the design life was further increased to 3 years, which is already the finalized GLONASS satellite of later generations, and these satellites have issued a total of 54 satellites.

Now, with Iraq's financial investment, these new satellites have established a comprehensive navigation system, covering the entire territory of the Middle East, and the life of the satellites has been improved to five years.

With this kind of satellite navigation system, coupled with Jing's dense habitual navigation, they can accurately determine their position, which is also the premise that the US aircraft carrier can be found in the vast sea. {{}}

At this time, the new generation of GPS positioning satellites of the United States, which had not yet begun to be launched, was completed in 94, and in this regard, Iraq was once again ahead of the curve. Moreover, with the operation of navigation satellites, Iraq's various guided weapons will also appear like bamboo shoots after a rain, ordinary bombs, the installation of satellite navigation components, will greatly improve the degree of inspection, cruise missiles, the installation of these components, can also make the attack level to a higher level. Especially in flat desert areas, terrain matching systems do not achieve maximum results.

The Iraqi Navy has also benefited from the project, for example, with a navigation system installed on its warplanes, which allows them to more accurately orient themselves in the vast seas.

The four J-7 fighters were flying at an ultra-low altitude on the endless sea, and in the cabin, all the people who entered were engrossed in their sacred profession and flying.

Flying is a high-risk profession, and now, there is still a six-level strong wind blowing on the sea, and the waves are two or three meters high, and they are flying at an altitude of one hundred meters, flying at ultra-low altitude, and the danger is very great. However, in actual combat, only by flying in this way can they have practical value, and how to fight battles, they usually practice how they usually practice.

The American aircraft carrier formation, which began to accelerate, sailed at a speed of 26 knots.

The waves crashed against the bow of the ship, and the higher the speed, the more the hull of the ship jolted, and the bow of the outermost Perry-class ships in the formation had even begun to become wet from the splashing waves.

On the deck of the USS Carl Vinson, five F-18 fighters with folded wings and one Hawkeye pre-aircraft were docked in the parking area in front of the island, two helicopters were docked in the middle of the island, four F-14 Tomcat fighters were docked in the rear, and the rest of the deck area was empty.

Due to the relatively high humidity on the sea surface, the aircraft are placed in the hangar during the normal navigation of the aircraft carrier, and the aircraft is raised to the deck only before entering the combat area. {{}}

The more space on the deck, the more fighters that can be ready to take off at any time, and during the war, taking off directly from the deck is obviously much more efficient than from the hangar, which is also the reason why the US aircraft carriers are getting bigger and bigger, although the cost is higher, but the cost-effectiveness ratio is more cost-effective.

"Captain, are we going to take off a pre-jing plane to monitor the surrounding airspace?" In the captain's room, which overlooks the entire deck, the commander of the carrier-based aircraft wing asks the captain for instructions.

At present, there are still more than 1,000 kilometers to go to the target area, and the commander and captain of the carrier-based aircraft wing are discussing how to display the powerful combat strength of the US aircraft carriers and provide them with as much deterrence as possible.

The combat effectiveness of an aircraft carrier is reflected in the carrier-based aircraft it carries, so the most powerful force of the US aircraft carrier is the carrier-based aircraft wing above, and in terms of military rank, the wing commander and the captain are of the same level, both with the rank of colonel, and the new aircraft carrier commander is generally born from the wing commander. {{}}, of course, on an aircraft carrier, it is still the commander's order that is the most authoritative.

The USS Carl Vinson was carrying the 17th Carrier-Based Aircraft Wing, and Wing Commander Dave Hawke asked Captain Ted if he needed to send a pre-aircraft from the current situation.

"It's still very far away, and we have Aegis warships in our White Spoon formation, and using their White Spoon radar is enough to monitor the airspace around us." Ted said.

The closest air base to Iraq is also 1,500 kilometers, and at this distance, Iraq has come all the way to join the association? Even their own position, Iraq does not know!

There is no need to make a fuss at all, now their white spoon task, is to quickly sail to the exercise area, and not to start entering the exercise state here.

In the course of the exercise, they will take off a large number of fighters to fully demonstrate their strength, and in this case, the frequency of use of the shè will be very high, so on the deck now, the crew is checking the situation of the shè frequent. {{}}

The Aegis warships in the formation are their most reliable means of defense, and Ted is very convinced of this.

"In our White Spoon exercise, we should simulate a strike on a warship at sea, and at the same time, we will take off our White Spoon electronic thousand disturbance aircraft to conduct an all-round thousand disturbance of Iraq's naval formation, so that they know that in front of our White Spoon's powerful electromagnetic thousand interference capability, even if they get the modern class of the Soviet Union, it will be useless." Ted continued.

Dave is still a little unsure, the distance of 1,500 kilometers, according to any previous experience, this is absolutely safe, the Iraqi Air Force, equipped with the most advanced Mirage 4000, after the missile is mounted, the maximum combat radius is only 1,500 kilometers, however, this kind of fighter has never been deployed at the Qeshm base, from the Basrah Air Base in Iraq, there is an additional 900 kilometers to walk, in addition to this kind of aircraft, the rest of the fighters, the combat radius is very limited.

However, the Iraqi Air Force must not be speculated with common sense, if he could choose, Ted would rather face the Soviet Union than Iraq, and those who entered became crazy under the encouragement of Qusay!

Although the Aegis system is already very powerful, it can't overcome the shortcomings of the first death, the earth will always be a curved surface, and it will never be able to find fighters flying at ultra-low altitudes, especially if the wind and waves outside are very strong, in this case, it will greatly reduce its ability to detect ultra-low-altitude aircraft.

However, perhaps he was overly concerned, and the captain was right, Iraq did not know the location of its own warships at all.

He retracted his thoughts and focused on the upcoming exercises.

Under the wings, the blue waters lapped against the reef and splashed as if a wave could smash the plane to pieces, but the pilots of the heroic Iraqi naval aviation had lowered the plane to a height of forty meters.

Just now, we had already received news from a communications satellite that the US aircraft carrier group was only 200 nautical miles away from them.

When the second reconnaissance satellite flew to the area where the US aircraft carrier might appear, it did not find the white spoon aircraft carrier formation in the predetermined position, and then, after scanning the surrounding area, it finally found traces of the huge aircraft carrier formation. It turned out that the US aircraft carrier formation had accelerated, but fortunately the time was relatively short now, otherwise, in a few hours, it would have sailed out of the reconnaissance range of the reconnaissance satellite, and it would not be easy to find out.

After the reconnaissance satellite images were analyzed by the ground crew, they were immediately transmitted to the Jian-7 formation on the sea through a geostationary synchronous communications satellite in geostationary orbit over the earth's equator.

At present, they have flown more than 1,000 kilometers away from the base, and at this distance, they have exceeded the communication distance of the airborne radio, so communication with the base must be realized through communication satellites.

Iraq has been renting part of the bandwidth of Osheng company's communications satellites to realize the satellite communication of the army, and from now on, this satellite has always performed well, so Iraq has planned to buy the same satellite to serve its own army.

"Attention formation, descend to twenty-five meters." Imad shouted over the radio.

The final attack height depends on the wind and waves, and now, the waves below are relatively large, so Imad only let the formation drop to a height of twenty-five meters, and if the wind and waves are calm, a height of ten meters can be achieved.

With his order, the formation began to continue to descend in height, and at the same time, the final preparations were underway!

Simulated Attack!

The anti-ship missile under the wing has a range of more than 200 kilometers, and before the missile is launched, it needs the carrier aircraft to provide it with guidance data, and these data are obtained by the radar of the carrier aircraft to scan the sea surface.

The rear cabin of the weapons cāo staff, began to be in the process of intense preparations, the J-7 is a heavy attack aircraft, it has two pilots, the rear cabin crew to share the work of the weapons cāo, including the delivery of a variety of complex J guided attack weapons.
