Chapter 235: Tomcat Abuses Rice-24
On the surface of the sea, the fog is slowly dispersing.
Fishing boats are sailing on the sea.
The Starlight, a trawler with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons, looks rusty from the outside, but no one knows that its bow, below the waterline, has a torpedo tube on the left and right, which is used to fire 533 mm torpedoes.
This is an armed fishing boat peculiar to the Soviets.
At the same time, on the deck, where the space was originally used to put fish, at this time, a Mi-24 helicopter gunship was taking off from the deck, the engine rumbled, the rotors of the helicopter were spinning, and soon, it took off from the deck.
The mission has changed, head to the root room!
Pilot Grevich pushed the operating stick, and after taking off, did not pull it up, just stuck to the surface of the sea and went in the direction of the root room, where the Soviets were very weak in defense, and the root room must be controlled!
The huge group of Soviet fishing boats is heading in the direction of Nemuro, and at the same time, helicopters taking off from the deck are also heading in the direction of Nemuro!
"Soviets, madness." At this time, Nathan piloted the Tomcat fighter and had already come to the northern seas, and with Lieutenant Gus in the rear cabin turning on the radar, he immediately searched for a dense number of targets.
At this time, the powerful functions of the AG-9 were vividly displayed, distinguishing the ships and the group of aircraft in front of them from the clutter of the seawater.
If the other party just started the fishing boat, it can be explained as a civilian one, and now, they actually took off a helicopter!
"Kitty Hawk, Kitty Hawk, Lone Ranger reports that a large number of Soviet helicopters have been spotted, flying in the direction of Nemuro, requesting an attack." Nathan shouted over the radio.
Although they took off after ejection, they quickly overtook the slow A-6 attack planes, and the 111 fighter squadron led by Nathan had already flown to the waters south of Nemuro.
Now, the helicopters have been spotted, and Nathan demands an immediate attack.
Soon, the Kitty Hawk's response came over the radio: "Attention, please note that the target must fire within twelve nautical miles of the root chamber. ”
Until now, these soft eggs still don't dare to really be arrogant once, and they can only fire within twelve nautical miles of the target? Nathan couldn't help but shake his head, but still shouted to his squadron: "Attention 111 Squadron, Attention 111 Squadron, the target is firing within twelve nautical miles of the root room, now, get ready for battle, use the undead bird." ”
What would it be like to use an immortal bird to hit a helicopter? That picture must be so beautiful.
At the time of takeoff, each Tomcat fighter had only two Immortal Bird missiles on board, and before entering the battle, the first step was to launch the Immortal Bird.
At the very least, you have to use up the heavy immortal birds first.
"Understood." The voices of wingmen came from inside the headphones.
All along, the Lone Ranger fought alone, but this time, finally the entire squadron was fighting side by side, and some pilots were already eager to try and get their own results.
Although it can't be like Nathan, one flight becomes a trump card, at least there must be one or two results, right?
The Tomcat fighter continued to fly forward, and the target, too, moved forward, and soon, it was close to a distance of 12 nautical miles.
"Attention, lock on to the target." Nathan shouted loudly.
Lock!
The data link of the navy is still imperfect, so Nathan cannot assign his own targets to each fighter through the data link, and now, after Nathan gives the order, each fighter is choosing its own target at will, and there may be overlap, if this is the case, it is the misfortune of the other party.
Lock!
As the radar switched to lock mode, the Mi-24 gunship's radar warning receiver was immediately triggered.
It's already locked! Listening to this meow meow sound, it must be a Tomcat fighter!
What to do?
The sound in Grevich's ears was constantly stimulating his nerves, and he jerked the lever loose, loosening the moment.
The roar overhead became quieter, and at the same time, his plane stopped flying forward with its head down and became a hovering state.
Hmph, it's not that easy to lock yourself in! Especially for gunships, it is also a matter of minutes to get rid of the lock!
Now, the radar of the Americans has popularized the Doppler system, which uses Doppler to avoid the influence of ground clutter, but at the same time, the Doppler system will also filter out the targets that are stationary or in the same direction and speed.
For helicopters, as long as they hover, they will be considered fixed targets on the ground, and they will disappear on the opponent's radar screen, so that the lock will naturally get rid of it.
In the headphones, the annoying meow finally disappeared.
However, his mission is to attack the root room, so what's the use of hovering like this?
Once you're out of lock, you can fly!
After getting rid of it, Grevich pushed the lever, lowered the nose of the aircraft, and with the drive of the overhead propeller, the Mi-24 continued to fly forward.
A minute later, the sound of locking came again.
So, Grevich hovered the helicopter again.
"Lone ranger, the goal is to hide from us." In the aft cabin, Lieutenant Guth shouted at Nathan.
Lieutenant Guth's eyes are quite sharp.
Just on the radar screen, so many bright spots, selected one, just locked, disappeared, and then, when the target flashed again, it was captured by Lieutenant Guth.
It's on the bar with you, don't want to run!
"Use PSTT mode." Nathan said.
When the pulse Doppler method is not good, it has to be changed, and the PSTT mode can get rid of the situation that the Doppler method misses the stationary target.
At present, the target is still on the sea surface, and there is not much clutter below, so the PSTT mode can still be used.
"Understood, switch to PSTT mode." Lieutenant Gus said: "The target is already within fifty kilometers, do you use sparrows?" ”
When using the PSTT mode, the detection range will be greatly reduced, at this time, it seems to be a bit of a waste to use the immortal bird, after all, the immortal bird is expensive!
However, Nathan still insisted: "Launch the immortal bird immediately!" ”
With the immortal bird, it is too heavy, the plane can't fly performance, if you want to abuse these gunships refreshingly, of course, the lighter the better.
It's still not powerful, if you replace the F110, it will be good.
Launch!
Since Nathan had given the order, Lieutenant Guth was not polite, and immediately pressed the launch button, and under the wings, the fire flickered, and white smoke rose.
