Daisetsuzan National Park in central Hokkaido.
As a scenic spot, there are usually many tourists here, even if it is called Daxueshan, in fact, under the geographical environment of an island country, the snow that does not melt all the year round is destined to never exist.
It is now March. At the top of the Snow Mountain, you can still see white faintly, as if you are wearing a hat of filial piety, while the mountain below has begun to become green.
In the eastern part of the mountain, at this time, on the edge of a forest, there are some trailers distributed in a fan shape. At this time, these trailers are in high tension.
Usually, as long as a camouflage net is placed on it, it can blend perfectly with the surroundings, and when needed, the camouflage net can be unfolded quickly.
Although they are all trailers, they can easily be dragged away by light vehicles because their own weight is not very large. When it is critical, they can even be pushed by a few people to transfer positions.
Of these trailers, the most eye-catching is of course the triple-mounted missile launch vehicle.
Three bulging missiles are arranged on the missile launch vehicle. The length of the lower body is very short, which makes the missile on the top very long. The lower part of the missile is fixed to the body by a turntable base, and it can also be driven by hydraulic pressure. Turning, the three missiles on it look so familiar.
Yes, this kind of missile is very similar in appearance to the Phoenix missile carried on the Tomcat fighter. They are all four large trapezoidal wings at the tail. At the same time, their masses are also very similar, both of which are about half a ton.
However, it is not called Phoenix, its official name is Hawker Air Defense Missile.
(East China is also very curious about the relationship between Hawker missiles and Phoenix missiles. After all, the later bs countries directly hang Hawk missiles on their Tomcat fighters and use them as Phoenixes, indicating their control. The system is very similar, otherwise how can it be universal? Please find out in the book review section.)
"Hawk" (HAWK) is an all-weather medium-range, supersonic, low- and medium-altitude land-based air defense system developed by Raytheon Company of the United States. It is mainly equipped with the U.S. Army and Marine Corps. It was the main force of the U.S. Army in the 1960s and 70s Range air defense missiles. At the same time, due to its excellent performance, it has also been purchased by many NATO countries and has become a standard NATO standard air defense weapon.
In some places, it is also translated as an eagle missile according to its English alphabet. This is actually wrong.
Hawke's full name is HomingAll-the-WayKiller, which means "all-the-way killer" and abbreviated as "HAWK". Although this word means eagle, it is abbreviated.
Now, this kind of missile system is deployed under the snowy mountains. Of course, it is not the US air defense force. It is the self-defense force of the island country. A few days ago, they were still guarding the sky in the strait in the northern part of Hokkaido. Then, He was mobilized secretly.
Now, they are waiting in full battle.
In addition to the triple-mounted air defense missiles that look like hedgehogs, there is also a special radar system behind it.
The Hawker system includes missiles, 3-mounted launchers, 1 hollow target search radar vehicle, 1 low-altitude target search radar vehicle, 2 high-power irradiation radar vehicles, 1 range finding radar vehicle, 1 continuous control center vehicle, It is composed of 1 information coordination center vehicle, 1 transportation loading vehicle and HF60D400HZ generator set.
Now, the AN/MPQ35 search radar is constantly rotating. The electromagnetic waves of the C-band are shooting into the sky, and there are clear bright spots on the screen of the radar car.
"Why haven't you given an order? The target is about to fly away soon!" In the radar car, the company commander in charge of the command complained in bird language: "It's really anxious!"
They have found a large number of targets. There are so many on the screen, at least twenty of them are slow transport planes. As long as one side locks and fires, the other side will never escape!
Now, he was going to watch the target almost turn on top of his head, and then fly back!
This is simply intolerable. Why haven't the superiors issued an order yet
"Report, the superior ordered, immediately fire on the invading enemy aircraft!"
"Great!" The company commander shouted: "Fire, fire on me!"
An air defense company has only one search radar, but it has two illuminating radars, which means it can attack two targets at the same time.
Now, after hearing the order, the shooter immediately opened the weapon insurance.
The missile has been warmed up long ago. Now, with the operation of the operator, the AN/MPQ39 illuminates the radar, and shoots the most powerful electromagnetic waves to its target, a transport plane that is turning in the sky.
On the radar screen, although only bright spots can be seen, the size of the target can also be determined according to the brightness of the bright spot. The larger the target, the more radar waves are reflected and the brighter the screen.
Of course, you must target the brightest target to attack!
With the action of the illuminating radar, the triple-mounted missile launcher also rotates synchronously, turning the warhead towards the target airspace.
Two salvos!
After selecting the two missiles, the two missiles quickly activate the power source and start the fast gyro. At this time, the seeker antenna has been steadily aimed at the target, receiving the electromagnetic waves emitted by the high-power illuminating radar.
emission!
The operator pressed the red launch button, and on the triple-mounted missile launcher, the top missile had hot flames from its tail, the M22E8 dual-thrust rocket engine with concentric charge, and the back-end booster engine ignited.
It pushed the missile away from the launch pad, and its speed gradually increased.
Then, suddenly, the engine stalled, and it had completed its task. Then, the mechanical safety of double insurance and the function of disarming the safety device helped the engine fall, the main cruise engine ignited, and the tail of the missile reappeared. Flame, continue to accelerate!
After tens of seconds, the maximum speed is reached.
Just one second after the first missile was launched, the second missile also flew into the sky with its tongue of flame.
Two missiles rushed towards their target, it was the same giant An-22 transport plane.
At this time, under the irradiation of the high-power illuminating radar, the radar warning receiver on the An-22 transport aircraft had already issued a terrible buzzing sound and had been locked!
To be locked means to be shot down!
If it was an infrared bomb on the ground, it would explode without knowing it, and there would be no fear, but now, from the moment it is locked to the time it is shot down, it is simply the most embarrassing.
"Damn, we are locked, what should I do?"
"Islanders, Americans, you will pay for it, you dare to attack civilian targets!"
In the curse, two Hawke missiles have already flew up with the tongue of flames! (End of this chapter)
