The roar of the solid rocket engines could not be heard at all under the barrier of the thin atmosphere above 10,000 meters, and from a distance, the missiles with amazing speed seemed to be just performing in array, but it was completely different from the visual situation, these heavy Javelins with a penetration speed close to Mach 3 and full supersonic speed would pierce the heads of the Americans in just a few minutes, and the reaction time left for the U.S. Navy fleet air defense system was even shorter to the point that it needed to be calculated in seconds.

Jumping quickly, the missiles were unsheathed, and the Tu-15M22M3s, who had completed a salvo of Kh-22, immediately turned and detached.

Wrapped at a speed of nearly Mach 2, the turning radius of these thunder monsters is indeed a bit outrageous, but at this time, the intercepting "Super Hornets" are still far away, and the waves of AIM-120Bs thrown indiscriminately cannot catch the target at all. According to the plan, all the members of the 317th Guards Regiment were instructed to leave, and the same message was also transmitted to Long Yun through the "Ruslan" in the distant sky.

The task is completed smoothly, and the next time is the time to grease the soles of his feet, but the almost crazy "Super Cat" will not let him get out of the battle so easily, but in the face of the strong thrust-to-weight ratio and acceleration of the Su-27M2, the F-14D, which is still reluctant to throw away the "immortal bird", is obviously a little helpless.

As soon as he received the order, he immediately left the battle, and just now he was still circling and confronting at least three "super cats" who were trying his best to follow, and Long Yun's manipulation actions were a little reckless.

Although he had completed the mission, he had to seriously consider the issue of fuel stocks, and watched the fuel consumption of the White 20 rise sharply in the air battles. And anyway. From the air defense circle of the US fleet to the Type 1143.5/6 aircraft carrier hundreds of nautical miles away. He had to complete the distance himself, so now it's best to turn around and run away without delay!

Long Yun's abacus, of course, is clear to the Americans who are fighting to the death against the terrifying "sickle".

Despite this, there is only one AIM-9L available since entering the fight, and this kind of thin pole with a miserable envelope during a tail chase attack cannot keep up with the "flankers" who drive high and go high, and the commands from "Hawkeye" are like urging over and over again, and the elites of the U.S. Navy have to clean up their moods. Seriously consider how to accomplish the tasks assigned to the commander.

Yes, seeing the "backfire" rushing over and throwing missiles, it seems that the next thing is to intercept those burning torches with all their might, but ......

The position has been lost, and Ivan's bombers have turned and fled, who should they hit?

The US Navy's air command system, which had just lost its "Eagle Eye" in a round of sneak attacks without warning, seemed to be quick enough to react next, and the US Navy's air command system, which had been disturbed by the "sickle," had in fact never fully recovered, and another E-2C, which was cautious or greedy for life and feared death, was long overdue, and there were fighters in the air on standby. However, there was no unified monitoring and command to form a joint force, and the fate of the Americans was doomed when the Kh-15 fell out of the magazine.

Next. A tragic dance of spears and slingshots, the Red Navy boys who flew away were like Viktor Rezenov, who did not know what the outcome would be and did not care at all.

yes, what else is there to guess about this?

AGIES, Americans who are good at showmanship generally write Advanced_Electronic_Guidance_InformationSystem (Advanced Electronic Alert Information System), or Airborne_Early-warning_Ground_Integrated_System (Platform Air-to-Air Warning Integrated System), or other more bells and whistles; But no matter how you change the spelling, in short, this thing has little to do with Zeus, that is, the four sides of PESA, a control center, plus the weapon control and combat system, etc., are all integrated, specifically used to protect the sky above the fleet.

The outstanding advantage of such a combat system, due to the use of the AN/SPY-1 long-range warning radar of the PESA system to search and track targets, is that it can track and deal with hundreds or thousands of incoming targets at the same time, and in the face of the more than 100 Kh-15s that the Red Navy has just fired, it seems that it will not be a problem at all to eat them all.

It looks like the shape shì is fine, however......

Theoretical remarks are of no significance at all to the officers and men of the US Navy who are facing the "return of the rifle."

It was not surprising that he was driving the white No. 20 Su-27M2 that had left the war, accurately calculating the fuel and returning from a high altitude, and his consciousness snooped and told him that there was no one chasing behind Long Yun, and he thought about it and knew that in the face of the leaping attack of the Red Navy Guards Bomber Regiment, there were hundreds of heavy air-to-ship missiles in front of him at once, and the current state of the Americans was mostly anxious, if it were not desperate or crazy on the spot.

Since a total of 23 Tu-22M3s participated in the battle, Long Yun naturally assumed that considering the failure rate, there would always be more than 120 Kh-15s in the sky that directly attacked the U.S. Navy ship group.

One hundred and twenty Kh-15s, an air-launched anti-ship missile with a maximum range of 300 kilometers and a warhead weight of 250 kilograms, seems to be similar to the AGM-84G when looking at the warhead alone, but the actual lethality is completely different.

A life-and-death duel, a battle between spear and shield, began when the "Aegis" system discovered the incoming "backfire".

In this contest with a huge scope in the open sea, from beginning to end, the US Navy's carrier-based aircraft unit has been playing the leading role, and both offense and defense are an independent posture, and the scenes of missiles flying sideways and fighters falling in the sky are really exciting, but this does not mean that the US Navy only has carrier-based aircraft, a force that can be relied on.

In the course of the battle, together with the U.S. Navy fighters patrolling the sky, to ensure the safety of the heavy aircraft carrier, the core of the battle group, and the escort ships providing all-round protection focused on two aspects: one is naturally offensive and anti-submarine and beware of Ivan's nuclear submarine sneak attack, and on the other hand, they are vigilant and watch the sky, be ready for battle at any time, and intercept any target that crosses the outer air defense circle of the fleet.

Even now, the gray slender battleships arranged on the periphery of the fleet in a typical anti-aircraft formation, basically in a circular defensive line, four "Ticonderoga"-class air defense cruisers and four "Arleigh Burke"-class air defense destroyers broke the waves, keeping in line with the mother ship.

In the face of the Red Navy's large-scale attack, the ship-based AN/SPY-1C system stared at the rapidly approaching batch of Kh-15s in the distant sky, and the light of the display screen shone on the faces of the nervous operators, and everyone in the entire huge fleet was nervous, except for a few professionals in charge of air defense operations, everyone was worried and worried, and they did not know whether the AEGIS system, which the United States had always been proud of, could withstand the intensive assault of the Russian "return gun".

Most people will inevitably have this kind of doubt, but the generals and staff in the command center did not hesitate.

Just a minute or two ago, the information transmitted through the chain was informed, and the "Backfire" fleet that suddenly appeared in the distance launched a missile salvo, and it was at a distance of about 300 kilometers, and the number of targets identified exceeded 100, and the expression of Lieutenant General William Pratt froze on his face at once, and Stanley Cooper, who was frowning and silent next to him, did not even say a word, and even the decisive command that should be in a nervous response to war was lacking.

Unlike ordinary personnel who do not know what is going on, at this moment, almost everyone present on the USS Theodore Roosevelt is aware of one fact.

Once the Russian bombers had successfully penetrated and fired the AS-16 "return pistols," which now seemed to be the case, the contest was essentially over for the United States.

More than a hundred AS-16s, the terrible storage of Mach 5 at the end speed, even if you have more air defense warships, it is useless!

The prediction of the tragic prospect made the generals look like earth, and a large number of "return guns" that were rapidly approaching in the distant sky did not stop for a moment, and a desperate scene was soon staged, AN/SPY-1 firmly focused on every high-trajectory target, and the ship-borne automatic engagement command system also began to operate, and one after another white missiles roared and flew away from the cage of MK-41, and for a time it was almost like fireworks on each warship.

As the anti-ship missiles approached, one RIM-66 after another climbed against the trend, leaving a series of meandering upward tracks in the sky, and the slender "Standard" II missiles were launched one after another, and the scene was spectacular for a while.

Four "Ticonderoga", four "Arleigh Burke", and two air defense cruisers behind the three heavy aircraft carriers are always on standby, beware of air threats from other directions, distributed in an air defense formation within a radius of more than ten kilometers, ten air defense warships equipped with the "Aegis" system can almost form an insurmountable sky wall, but this idea can only be an illusion, such as the US Navy warships facing the enemy soon encountered the first wave of throwing Kh-15, AN/ The combination of SPY-1 with RIM-66 immediately went into a bitter battle.

Tracking hundreds of targets at a time, with such an artifact as AN/SPY-1, the air defense capabilities of the "Aegis" ships seem to have suddenly become almost infinite.

However, on the other hand, based on the operational requirements of the RIM-66H ship-to-air missile, the bottleneck of the entire "Aegis" system is not on the PESA radar, which is fast and accurate in sweeping targets, but on the AN/SPG-62 fire control system, which provides target irradiation for "standard" missiles.
