If it is an ordinary missile, it will never be launched at the maximum range. After all, the maximum range is only a theoretical number. For example, air-to-air missiles are launched at the maximum range. The target only needs to be maneuvered to overload, and the missile is meaningless. As it climbs, its energy will be consumed and it will be out of reach.
However, the Mozu is no longer necessary.
For it, unless the target is able to maneuver to avoid it, its range will be insufficient. For the radar station on the ground, it is almost immobile.
At this time, you can launch at the maximum range.
Of course, there is no other way, because the range of their missiles is too far. In order to protect the safety of his own fleet, Nathan can't get too close to the opponent. That terrible set of S300 missiles is quite dangerous to get close to it.
Phoenix missiles cannot fly with high trajectories, so now they can only operate at their maximum range.
Not all missiles can be separated successfully. Some missiles, due to various technical problems of the pylon, did not detach from the pylon when it was ignited. In this way, it became a ignited Mozu missile with The Phoenix missile flew.
The Phoenix missile is huge and cumbersome, so if it can’t escape, it’s destined to be unable to fly with the Phoenix missile any further, just like an ant sticking out its foot to trip an elephant. It’s destined. It is the end of self-effort.
Some, even unable to ignite, can only continue to fly with the Phoenix missile until it finally falls.
Nineteen Tomcat fighters launched 38 Phoenix missiles, of which only 29 Phoenix missiles successfully launched the piggyback Mozu. In the air, there were fifty-eight new ones in an instant. The targets, these new targets, appeared on the radar of the s300 system.
"What's the matter? Why did the number of targets suddenly increase?" Osikevich heard the voice of the radar officer and hurried over to check, only to see that many bright spots appeared densely on the screen.
what happened
"Increase the radar power." Osikevich said. In this situation, the first thing he thought of was electromagnetic interference. After all, he really didn't believe that those missiles would be cloned.
There are sub-munitions, which can disperse many small warheads, but at least it is only done when the target is over the air. Now, the target is still thirty or forty kilometers away from its own side, so many small warheads are scattered
It's not like, it's like electromagnetic interference. It's very simple to deal with such interference. Increase your power!
If the power of the interference source is not as large as yours, it is impossible to be interfered.
"Understand." Hearing his command, the radar officer turned the power knob to adjust the output power of the radar to the maximum, and powerful electromagnetic waves were scattered into the surrounding sky.
They didn't know that at this time those Mozu missiles were waiting for the stimulation of electromagnetic signals!
Anti-radiation missiles, which specialize in attacking the enemy's radar, must be directly in front of the opponent's radar, because what it wants to receive is the opponent's radar signal, and the stronger the signal, the easier it will receive.
Now, such a strong electromagnetic signal instantly stimulated every Mozu missile, and they all found their direction accurately, moving forward, moving forward!
At this time, there were a lot of snowflakes on the radar screen on the Soviet side.
The other party came with a dozen missiles, and the other party launched a dozen in the past. Now, the number of the other party’s dozens of missiles has suddenly increased. Moreover, this new batch of missiles seems to be accelerating, slowly Ground, the same as the latter batch separated!
This look is not like electromagnetic interference, but like a real missile.
Osikevich frowned. Yes, the current goal is too suspicious. What should I do
Order the first batch of missiles to fly up, change the target, and intercept this new one? No, what if it's bait
Launch new missiles to intercept this batch? In this case, how many missiles will one have to waste? Depending on the number of each other, fifty or sixty!
We have four launch companies. Each launch company has six launch vehicles and 24 missiles. However, there are only six simultaneous firepower channels. Cross-launch is required. If all these targets are intercepted, two of them will be used. The launch company temporarily loses its ability to shoot. Is the opponent here to consume its own missiles? Wait until your own missiles are exhausted, and then come and bomb them in large numbers
Osikevich was worried, and at the same time, it was really possible.
In later generations, in the air battle in the Bekaa Valley, the Israeli Air Force did just that. They first dispatched drones to fire their missiles, and they all hit false targets.
What now
"Boom!" In the sky, the first 9m83 missile had already exploded, killing the slow Phoenix missile on the opposite side with precision.
One missile after another, the missiles hit the target continuously, this time the interception efficiency was quite high, and there was no fish slipping through the net!
In the sky, the smoke cleared, and the Mozu missiles were still pouncing toward the Soviet positions, flying toward the mountains in the north of Kurilsk. They opened their eyes and stared at a radar there.
Different radars have different frequencies, and the mozillas that fly are also classified. Some use long-range early warning radars, some use guidance and tracking radars with launchers, and some are responsible for illuminating the target of the launch vehicle. radar.
As long as these radars are knocked out, no matter how many missiles the other party has, it will be useless!
In contrast, the missile position of Sam 6 must be easier to hit, because one launch company of Sam 6 has only one illuminating radar. As long as this radar is knocked out, the entire launch company is abolished.
This is not the case with the s300 system. Every launch vehicle has an illumination radar. Therefore, only when the illumination radar of each launch vehicle is destroyed, can it be safe and worry-free.
Therefore, most of the flying missiles are prepared to hit the radar.
But now, they are getting closer and closer, and Osikevich knows that he can't hesitate anymore. These flying targets, no matter what they are, they have to shoot down!
"Assign goals and fire!" Osikevich shouted.
The battalion-level command of the missile battalion has the greatest function of long-range early warning, and at the same time automatically assigns targets to each launch company, so as not to miss or repeat interceptions.
Osikevich's order was issued, he didn't know, he was one step too late.
The launch of missiles takes time, and at the same time, the hit rate of interception is unlikely to be as high as 100%. They intercepted all of them just now because the Phoenix missile finally worked on the active radar mode. It can be said that it is immortal. The bird missile is dead.
But now, as long as they fail to intercept, the fish that slipped through the net, they have no chance to remedy the interception! (End of this chapter)
