You must fly at an ultra-low altitude. As long as there is no airborne early warning aircraft, the ultra-low altitude flight will be in the radar blind zone of the opponent's surface ship. Otherwise, it will be scanned by other people’s radar at a distance. Lock you, and then continue to fly forward, it must be fired.
The Soviets are very fierce, and they do what they say, just like the people in cold regions.
Now, Nathan can only achieve his goal by flying close to the sea, and Lieutenant Guth in the rear cabin is still very strange.
"This time, it is so strange that the United Captain will order us to fly over at a super low altitude." Gus said.
"It's time to be tough." Nathan said: "We have lost the Vietnam War. The Soviets are watching us. The weaker we are, the more the Soviets bully us. What are they afraid of? In a few games, a world war may not necessarily break out."
The air combat on Sakhalin Island, which was decrypted by later generations, was so fierce that it did not develop into a world war.
"It's a pity, the order is too late, if only prepared from last night."
What's the point of relying on this plane if you don’t have anything with you, even if it flies over? Not as enjoyable as the white flour bomb!
Gus was a little sorry.
"Don't worry, it's up to me." Nathan was already prepared. When he gave up the flour bomb, Nathan had already thought of a better alternative.
I originally planned to say that the machine is malfunctioning, but now I don’t have to be fooled, let’s let the bridge watch a good show.
While communicating with Lieutenant Guth, Nathan set up the plane and continued to fly forward, flying close to the sea. It was so cool and cool.
This is a test of courage and technology. At this altitude, the barometric altimeter and radar altimeter have completely lost their function. It is entirely dependent on the pilot's own intuition.
On the ground, there is a tactical maneuver called a low-altitude high-speed pass. A powerful pilot can fly just one meter from the ground, and only the most skilled pilots can do it.
On the sea, it is even more dangerous than on the ground, because there are wind and waves on the sea.
If the plane meets the wind and waves, it is like a plane hitting a bird. Although the waves do not have much energy, the speed of the plane is too fast, so it will be shot to pieces at once.
However, this is the only way to hide the aircraft in the waves, and to have the greatest chance to approach the enemy ship!
From the telescope, I saw the most spectacular scene, that is, the two jets of water gushing into the sky under the airflow of the airplane's engine, which are almost exactly the same as those in the movie of High Aspirations.
The film didn't use any special effects, it was all real shots, and the scenes were exciting.
This is the style of the U.S. Navy.
"111 Squadron, mobilize a fighter, and add it up." Petropaoli continued to look into the distance with his binoculars while giving orders.
Originally, Nathan was going to fly on patrols. Now that it is troublesome to go to the Soviets, there will be one less fighter plane on patrol flights. Now, one needs to be deployed.
At the same time, you can help Nathan when you need it.
"understand."
Obtained the order of Colonel Petropaoli, in the flight preparation room, the pilot of the 111th Squadron, Lieutenant Ji Kosichsky, and his radar controller ie Seymour, carrying their helmets, walked to the root of the bridge and came out. After that, there is the shutdown zone.
In this era, Americans are constantly complaining that large aircraft carriers are quite wasteful, costly to operate, cost-effective in combat, and flicker around. As a result, the British believed it and began to engage in nondescript things such as the Invincible Class.
The United States, however, is still building super aircraft carriers one after another. The tonnage is getting bigger and bigger. They have the richest experience. The larger the deck size, the better. For example, now, in addition to the angled deck and bow deck. Apart from coming out, a dozen fighters can be parked at the front and back of the bridge, which is much easier than picking up from the hangar.
The two climbed onto the plane, and on one side, a deck power car came over, a brown vest stood there, connected the circuit, and then made a proficient gesture to the two above.
Lieutenant Kosiczsky flipped the switches. When his finger pressed the button, the peculiar roar of the engine came from the tail, and the left side started normally!
Then, it's time for the engine on the right.
The two engines were 30 seconds apart, and they all started successfully, idling, and the sound was normal. The brown vest made a gesture and moved the deck power car. Then, it was time to remove the blocking slider under the wheels, and the plane was leaning on itself. The momentum slowly slid out of the stand and slid towards the catapult.
At this moment, suddenly, the engine behind it roared violently.
…
Kucherov is very excited. He can already see the aircraft carrier formation in the distance. The Americans have always used their aircraft carriers as a display tool and an important platform for weapon delivery. Huh, what is the use of aircraft carriers? On his own warship, eight p35 ship-to-ship missiles are enough to send those two aircraft carriers to the bottom of the sea!
If it is in a war, the maximum range of 500 kilometers, and launching at a distance of 300 kilometers, is enough to send the opponent to hell properly!
It's a pity that this type of missile weighing four and a half tons is still unusable, and you can only rely on your own command to provoke the Americans.
The opponent's formation is very fast, but the distance between the warships is very long. Yes, just insert into the opponent's fleet and conduct a formation exercise with them.
For the Pacific Rim military exercises, the Soviets are also Pacific Rim countries, and of course they also have the power to coordinate exercises.
Kucherov was already extremely excited when he thought of this. He no longer needed a telescope. He could clearly see the opponent's aircraft carrier formation just by visual observation. At this time, it happened to be on the opponent's port side and it was easy to complete the insertion. action.
Haha.
The flag of the Red Navy was fluttering fiercely in the wind. The radar of the m1 "wave" ship-to-air missile system was also continuing to rotate, searching the surrounding sky. Unfortunately, it was unable to remove it from the tumbling waves on the sea. The fighter plane flying at ultra-low altitude was retrieved.
This is a difficult problem.
Even in later generations, with a new type of radar supported by various advanced electronic technologies, to deal with sea-skimming missiles, the discovery distance is still very short, and it is often only possible to rely on the short-range defense system on the ship, such as the Phalanx. To destroy the opponent, it is already a few kilometers away, the last means of interception.
And now, the five largest and third-largest Soviet shipboard electronic devices are almost all electronic tubes, with the weakest signal processing capabilities, and there is no discovery capability in this area at all.
It is not even as clear as the lookout post on the bridge mast. (End of this chapter)
