"Three reconnaissance planes were found." Hawkeye's response made Nathan even more delighted.
After hearing the location of the target, Nathan immediately reached the mission quickly, assigned to his squadron, and vented their squadron!
Originally there was only one reconnaissance plane, but after this reconnaissance plane found the target, it immediately sent it to other reconnaissance planes, so two nearby reconnaissance planes rushed in.
They are here to die.
Yes, one after another, not afraid of death.
In order to guide anti-ship missiles, a maritime reconnaissance aircraft is required. However, the maritime reconnaissance aircraft will face the risk of being shot down. At this time, the Soviets adopted a simple countermeasure, which is to send more aircraft over.
You shot down one of me, I still have a second one, shot down the second one, and still have a third one.
Tonight, in order to sink the American aircraft carrier formation, they also decided to follow suit.
In fact, the danger of reconnaissance aircraft is not very great, because although missiles need to rely on maritime reconnaissance aircraft to indicate their targets, they are not the only ones. The biggest role of maritime reconnaissance aircraft is to detect American aircraft carriers during the time the missile flies. Trends, to provide route corrections for missiles.
To put it simply, for example, a missile that flies at Mach is about one kilometer per second, and it takes ten minutes to fly six hundred kilometers. In these ten minutes, if the aircraft carrier fleet moves at a high speed of 30 knots. , Can move out of five nautical miles, if the missile is not smart enough, then fly over, it may not find the target.
The maritime reconnaissance aircraft mainly provides this function, modifying the trajectory so that the missile can more easily capture the target after flying.
In case the target cannot be found, the missile will climb up according to the predetermined procedure, turn on the missile's own radar, and search the sea.
There is no need for a particularly advanced radar, because the missile is large enough to almost install an ordinary sea search radar in the front. At the same time, the volume of the target is quite large, so it is easy to find.
However, in any case, the need for the assistance of maritime reconnaissance aircraft is a drawback of the Soviet Union's saturated attack method, so they are also constantly improving.
Later, they can receive the data sent by the satellite, and they can also fly by themselves and find their own targets.
These hundreds of missiles flew past, and one of them would climb high and act as a reconnaissance aircraft at high altitude, providing guidance signals to the entire missile formation.
If this missile is shot down, then the entire missile formation will have a second one to climb up, followed by a third one, and so on, this kind of missile formation will almost all have the meaning of intelligence for later generations.
These are all new types of missiles in the future, and now, these missiles fired by the Backfire bombers rely on reconnaissance aircraft.
In the Tu-95 reconnaissance plane, the crew members are sticking to their posts.
"Our Backfire bomber is locked."
The radio frequency is figured out, and Edtoff's face is ugly after listening to the shouts in the radio, and the bomber is locked!
However, no fire has been heard, nor has the aircraft been shot down.
"Americans don't dare to do it." Locks said to the side: "Now, the Americans are taking advantage. They are unwilling to expand, for fear of causing World War III."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
The Americans took a big advantage in Hokkaido. Therefore, the Soviet Union would make a sneak attack at night, trying to kill the American aircraft carrier formation, so that it would be considered a tie.
If these backfires are beaten down by the Americans, then the Soviet Union will no longer be able to bear it!
How could the Soviet Union, which suffered heavy losses, stop the war? The Third World War will definitely break out in the Far East.
The Americans are unwilling to break out of a world war. That's why the Americans are so restrained. Now, the Americans' restraint allows their own backfire machines to retreat.
It's a pity for these missiles.
The guide was still looking at the radar. The radar screen on the belly of the plane was always white, and the target could not be found at all.
"Now, we hope that the other two reconnaissance aircraft can take over." Lockes said.
They were disturbed, what about the other two? As long as the interference is less, the target may be found on the clutter on the sea surface, so that they can guide the missiles that fly past.
More than a hundred pieces. The cost is high. If all these missiles become sky monkeys, it will simply make the fleet commander thunderous.
Even if they didn't sink their aircraft carrier, just hit a few escorting warships, that's okay.
At this moment, all of a sudden, that terrible sound rang in their earphones.
"Meow, meow."
Is your side locked
"Don't be afraid, the Americans dare not open fire." Lockes said.
If the Americans dared to open fire, they would have done it a long time ago, so why drag it until now? Half an hour ago, the Tomcat fighter jumped up and down, trying to find their reconnaissance plane. If they were determined, they would just shoot it down.
It must be like this, the other party dare not!
Lockes was confident.
The hateful thing is that they only have the sea search radar in their abdomen, and the current Tomcat fleet must be higher than them, so they can't see each other on their radar screen at all.
Your own early warning aircraft is too backward. If there is a super early warning aircraft behind, it will be able to provide a more reliable air situation alert.
Now, they will not be afraid.
As soon as Lockes' words fell, suddenly, a flame appeared in the sky on the side. In the sky above the side, the flame was so dazzling in the dark night sky.
A missile, it must be a missile launch. If you look at the direction of the flame, you will know that it is coming to your side!
"Damn, they fired missiles, fast, fast, sideways!" Lockes shouted loudly.
The Americans let go of the Backfire bombers, but they will not let go of the maritime reconnaissance planes.
Shooting down the backfire in large numbers will anger Lao Maozi and turn into a full-scale war, but how about only shooting down a few reconnaissance planes? It is entirely possible for them to use the reconnaissance plane to vent their anger, and they might also think that if the reconnaissance plane is shot down, those missiles that continue to fly at sea will become uncontrolled rockets!
When he thought of this, Lockes had a face as gray as death. Although they had been mentally prepared when they came, he was still very uncomfortable when death really came.
Like a fighter, turning sideways to avoid is the most common way. However, it is not easy to turn this slow bomber body-reconstructed reconnaissance plane.
