Chapter 225: A Large Number of Ultra-Low-Altitude Flying Transport Aircraft (Plus 3)
When it was pulled to an altitude of 3,000 meters, the radar inside the large plate on the top began to work, and huge electromagnetic waves radiated out of the gaps in the radar antenna and scanned the surrounding airspace.
Although it is targeting Hokkaido, the E-3 AWACS aircraft is now able to meet the scanning needs as long as it flies in the airspace south of Honshu, and its detection range of large aircraft exceeds 500 kilometers.
At the same time, the radar antenna with flat plate gaps, small side lobes, inherently has the advantage of resisting electromagnetic interference, those disordered electromagnetic waves look very strong, but the ones that can interfere with the early warning aircraft are very small, and under the strong power of the early warning aircraft, it is too difficult to be interfered with.
After all, the first condition of electromagnetic interference is that the transmitting power is greater than the power of the opposing device.
Now, on the radar screen, it is quite clear that in the eastern part of Hokkaido, that large group of large transport planes flying almost close to the surface of the sea, the Soviets, sure enough, are all crazy!
The advantage of the Airborne Forces lies in its suddenness, relying on the most mobile means of transport, the aircraft, it can reach any position, and the strategic transport force of the Soviets is also very terrifying.
The 105 Airborne Division, which did not even need to be transferred, it was enough to board directly from the station, and after a long flight, they bypassed Sakhalin, the Sea of Okhotsk, and just like that, appeared in the eastern part of Hokkaido.
And this is the place where the Hokkaido defenders are most emptied, after all, the west and north are the areas that are threatened, and the east is safe.
These planes were quite cunning, flying in a big circle, and, after approaching Hokkaido, they lowered their altitude, almost flying at an ultra-low altitude of about 100 meters, which was a great risk for a transport aircraft.
In particular, even if they entered the dense fog airspace, they still maintained such a course and speed, even if it was not a dense formation, there would be a possibility of a collision in the air.
The Soviets, all crazy!
Looking at the echo on the radar screen, the early warning commander on the AWACS aircraft had a calm face: "Yokota, Yokota, I found a large number of ultra-low-flying transport planes, which are heading for Kushiro!" ”
"On the surface of the sea, a large number of echoes were found, far more than the number of fishing boats we had in the vicinity."
In addition to planes in the sky, at sea, there are a large number of ships!
The armored units of the Soviets, who had taken refuge on Sakhalin, began to sail in less than twenty-four hours after they were discovered.
Their follow-up troops were on amphibious landing ships, while the vanguard troops were on fishing boats.
Again, this is an attempt to hide people's eyes.
After all, in addition to the territorial sea recognized by international law, most of the oceans are public resources, and more than 70% of the earth is seawater, and the ocean also supports many people.
Most of the inhabitants of the long coastline depend on fishing for their livelihood.
And the Soviet fishery is even more developed, the output of aquatic products in the Soviet Union is already the second in the world, all kinds of Soviet fishing boats, sailing on the ocean, salvaging valuable marine fish for the Soviets, as a source of food, after all, the Soviet light industry is very underdeveloped.
At the same time, there are a large number of fishing boats, with ulterior purposes, such as constantly monitoring the trawl and reconnaissance fishing boats of the American Navy, and so on.
Now, these fishing boats played a huge role, transporting the Soviet ground vanguard.
Now, they have sailed to the Pacific waters south of Kunashir Island, these large ocean-going fishing boats, with wide decks, on these decks, fixed the army's Mi-24 helicopters, although they have not flown over the sea to take off, they will also take off fearlessly, go to seize Kushiro!
The first to arrive was definitely the transport plane.
After the first An-22 transport plane landed, with the help of the Mi-24 helicopter, it quickly took control of the entire airport, and at the same time, the follow-up thrilling landing was about to begin.
"The runway lights are all on, keep an eye out!"
"It's still three kilometers from the airport, pay attention to the posture, pay attention to the posture!"
At the dispatcher's position just now, a Soviet dispatcher sat there, using the radio equipment he brought to make contact with the transport plane above, and at the same time observing the attitude of the transport plane and directing the landing of the transport plane.
This is an An-12 transport aircraft.
In the Soviet Union's transport aircraft sequence, the An-22 is a well-deserved giant, a large aircraft that can carry more than 80 tons of cargo, such as the most representative main battle tank.
In addition to tanks, there are also "Scud" missiles, rocket launchers, missile carriers, bridges, cars and other heavy military equipment, all of which can be crammed into it.
However, this heavy giant transport aircraft, the cost is high, the economy and safety are not good, a total of dozens of them, in the Soviet equipment sequence, a huge number of An-12 medium transport aircraft, this is the main force of Soviet air transport.
From the outside, this kind of transport aircraft is very similar to the Y-8, in fact, the Y-8 is an imitation of the An-12, with a single wing, four turboprop engines, each with a power of 4,000 horsepower, and the maximum take-off weight of the entire aircraft is 60 tons, and the load is 20 tons.
The aft cargo compartment of such an aircraft can accommodate 100 paratroopers, or 65 stretchers for the wounded, or 2 small guns plus a trailer, or a medium tank. Because the rear cabin is not sealed, the flight altitude should be limited to less than 5,000 meters when transporting a large number of soldiers.
Now, behind it, a hundred fighters are carried, all ready to jump bravely as soon as the plane lands, and for the sake of the Soviets, bravely fight!
At this time, the pilot of the plane was nervously holding the operation panel, hoping to see the runway lights through the dense fog below.
But now, the fog is even bigger, and he can't see it at all!
"Attention, there are still three kilometers to the runway, and the course is one point to the left."
Nothing can be seen, but, for the sake of the Soviets, it must be landed!
The pilot secretly made up his mind, and his palms were covered with sweat.
At this time, in the thick fog, no one will see, just east of the airport runway, an island soldier, slowly standing up from the grass, his shoulder, carrying a long piece of equipment.
His eyes, firmly fixed on the sight on the side of the equipment, his ears, wearing headphones, listening to the sounds coming from inside, his body, moving with the target, the equipment on his shoulder, moving with the target.
This equipment is the well-known Red Eyes 2, and it also has a resounding new name, called Stinger!
