Chapter 820: Anti-ship missile formations
For the Americans, the aircraft carrier formation is their pride and a symbol of their country, and if the American aircraft carrier is sunk in a naval battle, it will be absolutely intolerable to the United States, and it will not stop dying.
And now, since the Americans do not hesitate to use strategic stealth bombers to attack Pakistan's aircraft carrier formation, Pakistan will definitely not be polite!
On the deck, in the hangar, the preparations before the battle are being carried out in a tense and orderly manner, the last time it was an air superiority mount, more than a dozen pylons are medium-range and long-range active sky flashes, as well as short-range R-73s, and now, the number of active sky flash loads has been reduced, and each fighter is mounted with two YJ-91 supersonic missiles, some are anti-radiation models, specially designed to hit the Americans' Aegis warships, and some are anti-ship models, which are used to give the Americans' maritime warships a lifelong unforgettable lesson.
Pakistan's armament build-up has been aimed at the threat of the world's most powerful country for several years. More advanced supersonic anti-ship missiles with a range of more than 500 kilometers are still being trial-produced, and now they can only use this full-fledged air-to-ship heavy missile, which has a range of more than 200 kilometers at high altitudes.
And the US air defense circle was originally an aircraft carrier formation of more than 500 kilometers, but because many Hornet fighters were shot down in the last air battle, they did not have time to deploy more carrier-based aircraft, so. The combat effectiveness of their aircraft carriers has been almost half consumed.
Relying on the air defense capabilities of their Aegis warships, they can give the fleet a maximum of a hundred kilometers of protective circle.
At the same time that the Navy began to prepare. From the air base in southern India, a formation of the latest stealth fighters has been dispatched in advance.
If you want to quietly bring a devastating blow to the US Navy, the first thing that needs to be destroyed is their AWACS aircraft! This is an important character of the stealth fighter!
The American F-22 has not yet entered service, and now in the skies, Pakistani stealth fighters. It's the most powerful existence!
At this time, the US naval formation had withdrawn to the sea near the island of Diego Garcia. I'm ready to enter the island to repair, and the distance has exceeded the attack radius of Pakistan's stealth cat, so when I return home, I have to do an air refueling.
Just when the Pakistani attack was unfolding in an orderly manner. The E-2 AWACS aircraft spotted the sea six hundred kilometers south of the formation. One missile after another, cruising.
Hundreds!
Damn it!
Since the search range of the E-2 AWACS aircraft is limited after all, and at the same time, the ship-borne meter-wave radar will not have an unlimited search radius, the American B-52 bombers, the bombers that took off from the island of Diego Garcia, still launched Tomahawk missiles from a distance. Then he turned around and ran back.
Some of these bombers were equipped with Tomahawk missiles. According to the plan of the Americans, after the stealth anti-ship missiles launched by the B-2 bombers killed most of Pakistan's warships, these B-52 bombers mainly launched Harpoon missiles to destroy the remaining targets, and strive to completely reimburse the main force of the Pakistani Navy under the strike of two waves.
As a result, the B-2 attack did not work, and these B-52 bombers, which had no self-defense capability, were even less likely to get close to the sky of the aircraft carrier formation of 200 or 300 kilometers, and they would simply become a live target for Pakistan's carrier-based aircraft.
At present, the more than 100 Tomahawk missiles are flying smoothly according to the preset navigation trajectory.
Receiving the news of the AWACS, Lieutenant General Norman's face became serious.
I really didn't expect that the Americans would still play like this!
Our carrier-based aircraft have already begun to mount anti-ship missiles, and if they intercept them with anti-ship missiles, the planes will become very heavy and it will be very difficult to attack, but if the anti-ship missiles are unloaded, it will be too much of a waste of time.
If the carrier-based aircraft directly ran to attack the Americans' aircraft carrier formation, leaving those flying missiles and completely handing them over to their own anti-aircraft firepower to solve, it would seem to be a bit of a pretense, and a missile that evaded the anti-aircraft fire and got in will bring a threat to the ships of the formation, after all, there are too many of them this time, hundreds!
If the Tomcat fighters were dispatched to intercept 50 of them, the pressure on the air defense system would be greatly reduced.
The tactic of saturation attack was originally a tactic invented by the Soviets to deal with American aircraft carriers, and who would have thought that now the Americans would actually use this tactic against Pakistan!
Did the Americans move all the missiles out of their arsenal?
Rear Admiral Hussein, the captain of the Indomitable Ship, was also frowning at this time, this is indeed a difficult problem. Although those missiles are still more than 500 kilometers away, the time left for the side is limited, and it is necessary to make a decision as soon as possible.
"I have a solution." At this moment, Flight Wing Captain Rick said: "I'll deal with these missiles, just give me another Growling Cat, and our aircraft carrier formation will immediately sail west at full speed and leave our current sea area." ”
"Rick, don't underestimate these missiles." Hussein said.
"Not to be underestimated, of course." Rick said: "These missiles are now flying at ultra-low altitudes, and the Americans' satellites are almost out of order, so these missiles flying by the Americans must be in the form of guiding missiles, and when they fly, in order to determine our position, there will definitely be a guide missile to climb to a high altitude and search for our formation, I only need to kill the guidance missiles, and then use jammers to interfere with their data communications, and we can make these missiles, all because there is no way to find our location and explode." ”
Rick's words, to everyone's eyes, this is a simple solution!
The fighter piloted by Rick was originally intended to escort the attack formation, and did not carry anti-ship missiles, and Rick, who was dressed as a pilot, climbed into the cockpit and took off with a ******** of overload.
Another modified Growling Cat, which acts as an electronic warfare aircraft, specializes in jamming datalink communications between those missiles that are being fired.
At the same time, the entire formation started to move towards the west at full speed, and those missiles were flying at subsonic speed, at a distance of 600 kilometers, and it would take at least half an hour to arrive, and in this half an hour, the entire formation had already moved to another sea area.
After takeoff, Rick and the growling cat sprinted at an altitude of 8,000 meters, and after ten minutes, they met the incoming missiles.
At this time, these missiles seemed to be a formation, flying mightily on the sea, like those bomber formations during World War II. And at the level of electronic technology of the Americans, these missiles are organized and have a leader.
The growling cat monitored the data transmission of these missiles, the Americans' LINK4 data link, the frequency width was very narrow, and the electronic equipment on the monitoring aircraft was running at high speed, and finally locked on to a missile in the middle of the leader.
"Azazler, the target location has been sent." The rear cabin operator of the growling cat called.
On the screen in front of Rick's backseat weapon operator, a highlight of the target appears as the two planes pass through a datalink, and the growling cat sends the locked data to Rick's fighter.
"Roger, prepare to attack!" Rick replied.
Swooping down from the sky, Rick didn't use the missile, and the cannon fired the past cannonball, destroying the missile in an instant.
At this time, the eastern sky has slowly lit up.
Before he was ready to return, the pilot of the growling cat suddenly continued to shout: "Azazler, spare guided missiles have been found!" ”
These missiles are guided according to a fixed procedure, and they are uniformly guided by one missile, and after this missile is shot down, the second missile will automatically take over the guidance right.
Moreover, as the distance approached, this missile did not continue to fly at a low altitude, but began to increase its altitude, and when it flew to a thousand meters in the air, it was possible to use the sea search radar loaded at the front end of the missile to discover the aircraft carrier formation on the sea surface!
Rick continued to kill the climbing missile with his cannon, but later, the third guide missile went up again!
Rick couldn't help but secretly shout in his heart that if these 100 missiles had the ability to take on the task of guiding the missiles, then he would not be able to destroy all these missiles no matter what!
At this time, most of the carrier-based aircraft on the rear aircraft carriers were mounted on sea attacks, including the A-7 attack aircraft, which also carried two YJ-91 anti-ship missiles, and the huge fleet embarked on the road to the expedition.
Rick's forehead was covered with sweat, and he dreamed that the formation of these missiles of the Americans must have been learned from the Soviets, and the Soviets' SS-N-19 ship-destroyed missiles were such a program setting!
Damn, what should I do? Watching another missile rise up and act as a guide missile, Rick knew that it would definitely not work like this.
"Growling cat, growling cat, send the data back to Babel." Rick shouted over the radio, "Babel must have a way!" ”
The day before yesterday, an attack on the Tower of Babel paralyzed the US satellite system, and Rick believes that those geniuses in the Tower of Babel must have a way to solve the problem at hand.
The information of the data link of these missile formations intercepted by the roaring cat was transmitted back to the Tower of Babel through the satellite, and the genius Kevin led his team to leave the busy, and the time given to them was calculated in seconds! (To be continued.) )
