1540 Thunderbolt-12 air-to-air missile

Xu Feng looked at the distance from the airship at this time: one hundred and three kilometers, and thought to himself: "It's too far, let's wait until we fly closer before launching the missile."

Xu Feng thought while turning on the target tracking mode of the airborne radar, in this mode, the radar will select the target to be tracked, and always emit electromagnetic waves to it, the antenna will divide the electromagnetic pulse into two beams, when the two beams touch the target and reflect back, the radar will compare the amplitude and phase of the two beams, and calculate the position of the target relative to the carrier aircraft according to this difference, and accumulate the data of the target, which is the single-pulse technique commonly used in radar in the Lin Yuan era.

When the radar accumulates a lot of data, it will analyze the speed and acceleration of the target on the basis of the accumulated data, and control the electromagnetic waves to irradiate the target all the time, which is the radar tracking technique.

Xu Feng kept looking at the distance display window on the radar screen, and when the number in the window became 75 kilometers, Xu Feng opened the weapon control panel, selected the Thunderbolt-12 over-the-horizon air-to-air missile in the bomb bay, and then adjusted the radar, and gave the radar a command to lock the target, and a red circle was immediately displayed on the radar screen, which circled the two airships, and the buzzer instantly sent out a "Dididi" launch prompt.

Xu Feng stretched out his hand to turn off the prompt sound, and said to himself: "Do you still need a buzzer to beat these two guys?" Xu Feng pressed the launch button as he spoke, and the launch button instantly sent a command of "missile detachment" to the missile pylon, and the missile left the anchor point instantly, and the solid rocket engine equipped with the missile body ignited instantly, pushing the missile to fly towards the target.

No matter how advanced the missile is, it does not dare to guarantee a 100 percent hit, because there are too many unexpected situations that may occur, in order to ensure the hit, Xu Feng launched four Thunderbolt-12 long-range air-to-air missiles at a time, and these four missiles immediately flew towards the target airship under the guidance of the airborne radar.

When the four missiles were twenty kilometers away from the target airship, Xu Feng gave the missile a command to turn on the radar seeker, and the radar seeker immediately turned on, emitting electromagnetic waves to search the nearby airspace, and soon the echoes of the two huge airships appeared on the processor of the radar seeker.

The radar on the missile then locked onto the huge airship, directing the missile towards the airship.

At this time, the airship was at an altitude of 500 meters, and the US military observers in the airship were using high-magnification telescopes to observe the warships of the Lin Yuan troops on the sea, preparing for the future help of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet, but at this moment, an observer suddenly found that four black dots were flying towards them from a distance.

An observer immediately pointed to the four black dots and shouted, "Look, what's that?" ”

As soon as the other two observers heard this, they came to the edge of the pod, looked in the direction of the observer's finger, and said, "It should be a bird, right?" ”

The observer said, "Nonsense! Can a bird fly that fast? The crowd was talking, and suddenly an observer said, "Oh no, those four things seem to be flying towards us, will they hit us?" ”

After the observer finished speaking, he looked at the captain of the airship, and the captain of the airship immediately said: "Could it be that the weapons issued by the Chinese aircraft are here to hit us?" ”

Everyone said: "We are a civilian airship, and China dares to attack our civilian airship, so they are not afraid of the condemnation of the countries of the world?" ”

The captain shook his head again and again, and said, "No matter how much, let's land first, operator, immediately lower the height of the airship and land on the sea." ”

Because the airship has no power system, it is greatly affected by the natural environment during the descent, so it is impossible for the airship to accurately land on the narrow and small yacht, so the airship will first land on the sea, and then the yacht will send a small boat, tie the airship with a cable, and drag the airship on the water.

When the airship operator heard the airship's words, he immediately turned off the reactor, and as soon as the air inside the airship was cold, the pressure naturally decreased, so it began to decline, but no matter how fast their descent was, they could not avoid the Thunderbolt missile, and the Thunderbolt missile was designed to hit the target of the US F-22, and the mobility of the F-22 was much better than that of the airship.

As soon as the airship descended, the radar seeker on the missile immediately sent out a control signal, and the missile immediately turned an angle to the lower part of the missile under the action of the steering gear, and chased after the airship. It's chasing us! ”

The people on the airship were surprised, and the missile flew more than a hundred meters away from the airship, and the missile detected that the distance had become extremely small, and immediately activated the fuse, and the warhead of the missile exploded!

This type of Thunderbolt missile is not equipped with a high-explosive fragmentation warhead that is common on air-to-air missiles, but is equipped with a continuous rod warhead with stronger lethality, in which the high-explosive charge contained in the warhead directly blows up the warhead, and the fragments form a cloud of fragments to fly towards the target, and the fragments of this warhead fly in all directions, so the power is not concentrated.

And the continuous rod warhead is different, the shell of this warhead is composed of a series of steel rods, and at the time of the explosion, the shock wave will not blow up the steel rod, but will blow the steel rod open, and the tail of the steel rod will be welded together, so the steel rod will form a large ring in the air.

The impact of the explosion and the initial velocity of the missile itself made the speed of this large ring as high as 2,000 meters per second, which is enough to cut through the skin and shell of any aircraft, even the aircraft equipped with armor on the fuselage of the US A-10 attack aircraft!

The shells of these two airships are canvas, and the hardness can not be compared with the armor, so the continuous rod warhead directly cut the airbag of an airship in half, and the large ring of the continuous rod produced by the explosion of a missile in the back chopped up the pod and the people inside! The high temperature detonated the fuel of the airship again, and with a "boom", the airship turned into a big fireball!

The other airship was only shredded by the missile, fortunately they did not explode, but the airship did not have a bag, and fell directly at an altitude of more than 400 meters, although the water surface below, but the height was 400 meters! Several airship crew members were smashed by the powerful impact force at the moment they fell into the water, and they were killed on the spot!

Because it was an over-the-horizon air battle, Xu Feng didn't see these scenes, all he saw was that the airship target disappeared on the radar screen, and then turned into a dozen small targets, Xu Feng immediately went to see the height of the small targets, and found that they were descending rapidly, thinking in his heart: "The missile hit the airship!" These small targets are the fragments of the airship. ”

Xu Feng then contacted Lin Yuan and said, "I have successfully hit the airship!" Now the airship has crashed! ”

As soon as Lin Yuan heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "Okay, very good!" Then he called the squire who had brought Norris here today, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the U.S. office." ”

The attendant was taken aback when he heard Lin Yuan's words, and said, "Lin Shuai, your level is so high, what are you doing there?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "What else can you do?" Of course, it's cheap. ”
