When it reached a height of three kilometers, the radar inside the large plate on the top began to work. Huge electromagnetic waves radiated from the gaps in the radar antenna and scanned toward the surrounding airspace.
Although its target is Hokkaido, the E-3 early warning aircraft can already meet the scanning needs as long as it flies in the southern airspace of Honshu. Its detection range for large aircraft exceeds 500 kilometers.
At the same time, a radar antenna with a flat-panel slot has a small side lobe and is inherently advantageous in resisting electromagnetic interference. Those disordered electromagnetic waves seem to be very powerful, but they can interfere with the early warning aircraft. Moreover, under the powerful power of the early warning aircraft, It's too hard to be disturbed.
After all, the first condition of electromagnetic interference is that the transmit power is greater than the power of the other party's equipment.
Now, on the radar screen, it is quite clear. It can be seen that in the eastern part of Hokkaido, the large group of large transport planes flying close to the sea, the Soviets, really are crazy!
The advantage of the paratrooper lies in its suddenness. It can reach any position with the most maneuverable means of transportation, the aircraft, and the Soviet strategic transportation power is also terrifying.
The 105 Airborne Division did not even need to be transferred. It was enough to board the plane directly from the station. After a long flight, they bypassed Sakhalin Island and the Sea of Okhotsk, and just like that, appeared in the eastern part of Hokkaido.
And here is the place where the defenses of Hokkaido’s defenders are the most empty. After all, the west and the north are the areas facing threats, and the east is safe.
These planes are quite cunning, flying around in a large circle, and after approaching Hokkaido, they lower their altitude, almost flying at an ultra-low altitude of about 100 meters. For a transport plane, this It is to take a big risk.
Especially, even if they entered the dense fog airspace, they still maintained such a course and speed, even if it was not in a dense formation, there would be a possibility of air collision.
The Soviets are crazy!
Looking at the echo on the radar screen, the early warning commander on the early warning aircraft was very calm: "Yokota, Yokota, a large number of ultra-low-flying transport aircraft have been found heading for Kushiro!"
"A large number of echoes were found on the sea, and the number far exceeded the number of fishing boats nearby."
In addition to the planes in the sky, there are also a large number of ships at sea!
The armored forces of the Soviets hiding in Sakhalin Island, after being discovered, began to sail out to sea almost in less than twenty-four hours.
Their follow-up troops were on amphibious landing ships, while the vanguard troops were on fishing boats.
This is also to deceive others.
After all, with the exception of the territorial waters recognized by international law, most of the oceans are public resources. Over 70% of the earth is sea water, and the oceans nourish many people.
Most of the residents on the long coastline earn a living by fishing.
The Soviet fishery is even more developed. The output of Soviet aquatic products is already the second largest in the world. All kinds of Soviet fishing boats sail on the ocean to salvage precious marine fish for the Soviets. As a source of food, after all, the Soviets’ Light industry is very underdeveloped.
At the same time, there are also a large number of fishing boats with ulterior purposes, such as the trawl and reconnaissance fishing boats that constantly monitor the American Navy and so on.
Now, these fishing boats have played a huge role. They are transporting the Soviet ground vanguard.
They have now sailed into the Pacific Ocean in the southern part of Kunashir Island. These large ocean-going fishing boats have large decks. On these decks, the Army’s Mi-24 helicopters are fixed. Although they have not flown over the sea, they have to be fearless. Take off to take Kushiro!
The first to arrive is definitely a transport plane.
After the first An-22 transport plane landed, with the help of the Mi-24 helicopter, it quickly controlled the entire airport. At the same time, the subsequent thrilling landing was about to begin.
"The runway lights have all been turned on, please pay attention!"
"There is still three kilometers away from the airport, pay attention to your posture, pay attention to your posture!"
At the position of the dispatcher just now, a Soviet dispatcher was sitting there, using the radio equipment he had brought to get in touch with the transport plane above, and at the same time observing the transport plane's posture and commanding the landing of the transport plane.
This is an An-12 transport aircraft.
In the Soviet transport aircraft sequence, the An-22 is a well-deserved giant. This large aircraft can carry more than 80 tons of cargo, such as the most representative main battle tank.
In addition to tanks, there are other heavy military equipment such as "scud" missiles, rocket launchers, missile transport vehicles, bridges, automobiles, etc., all of which can be stuffed in.
However, this heavy-duty giant transport aircraft is expensive, economical and safe, and it is equipped with dozens of them. In the Soviet equipment sequence, the huge number is the An-12 medium transport aircraft. It is the main force of Soviet air transportation.
From the outside, this transport aircraft is very similar to Yunba. In fact, Yunba is a model of An-12. It has 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, with a load of 20 tons.
The rear cargo compartment of this aircraft can accommodate 100 paratroopers, or 65 wounded stretchers, or 2 small artillery and a trailer, or a medium tank. Since the rear cabin is not sealed, the flying height must be limited to less than 5,000 meters when transporting a large number of soldiers.
Now, behind it, there are a hundred fighters carrying them. These fighters are all ready. As long as the plane lands, they will bravely jump down and fight bravely for the Soviet!
At this time, the pilot of this plane was holding the control panel nervously, looking through the dense fog below, hoping to see the runway lights.
But now, the fog is bigger, he can't see it at all!
"Attention, there are still three kilometers away from the runway, and the course is one minute to the left."
Nothing can be seen, but for the sake of the Soviets, we must land!
The pilot secretly made his determination, his palms were full of sweat.
At this time, in the thick fog, no one would see it. Just to the east of the airport runway, an island soldier slowly stood up from the grass, carrying a long piece of equipment on his shoulder.
With his eyes fixed on the sight on the side of the equipment, his ears, wearing headphones, listening to the sound from inside, his body moves with the target, and the equipment on his shoulders follows Goal and move.
This kind of equipment is Red Eyes 2 that many people are familiar with. It also has a resounding new name called Stinger! (End of this chapter)
