It's like a master's trick, both sides are playing fast.
After all, in the sky, battles are counted in seconds. Captain Clive’s fighter has clearly searched for the opponent at a distance of 200 kilometers, and then prepared the Phoenix to lock the opponent at a distance of 100 kilometers. .
The other party's radar has been working in sea-to-sea mode, so they have not been spotted. However, when the radar is locked, it is like a big flashlight shining on the other party, and the other party's radar warning receiver is triggered instantly.
"Meow, meow." With the sound of the radar warning receiver, several people in the cabin suddenly became nervous.
Pugachev's face was tense: "Are the missiles ready?"
They are not afraid of death. So far, death is no longer terrible to them. What they fear is that they did not complete the mission of launching missiles before they died. Now, after hearing Pugachev’s words, the rear compartment The fire control officer said: "It's still 30 seconds."
The gap in the electronic system was revealed. Although he had already started preparing for the launch of the missile after the radar found the target, the launch of the missile still required a long waiting process.
His hand flicked the switches one by one, and while answering just now, he continued to make preparations before launching.
They are all very clear about the sound of this radar warning receiver. It is the Tomcat fighter. The opponent is equipped with a Phoenix missile with a range of more than 100 kilometers. This combination is specifically designed to intercept them.
However, if the other party wants to launch the Phoenix, they still have a chance, because the distance of 100 kilometers, for the Phoenix, half a minute is absolutely impossible.
emission!
Behind Captain Clive, the radar officer pressed the button. Suddenly, the flames flared, and the two phoenixes under the belly of the plane got off the carrier and rushed into the sky with a fiery flame.
When launching, both of them habitually closed their eyes. In this dark night, if they suddenly saw the flame at the tail of the missile, they might be blind instantly.
At the same time, on the Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier here, everyone was waiting nervously. Even Lieutenant Colonel Brown rubbed his eyes and quickly ran from the captain's room.
A Soviet bomber was found. Now, our fighters are intercepting!
When they saw that their fighter jet had launched the missile, everyone was relieved. As long as the missile hits the opponent, everything is over, and the danger for one's own side is also lifted.
At this time, on the deck, you can also see the hot tail flames of the fighter planes. Two Tomcat fighter planes performing the replacement mission, opened the afterburner from the angled deck, and quickly took off with the help of the catapult.
The deck was filled with smoke.
At the same time, more pilots have also stepped into the cockpit, ready to eject and take off at any time. Is a bomber discovered this time still followed by a huge fleet? If it were a bomber regiment, they would just take off at all, and I'm afraid there would be interception omissions.
After all, in the later generations of the US aircraft carrier formation, a three-layer protection system was adopted. The outermost layer was the carrier aircraft, the middle layer was the anti-aircraft missiles of the warships, and the inner layer was the near-anti-aircraft guns of the warships. Even so, I dare not guarantee it. Foolproof.
And now, their aircraft carrier is definitely in a state of luo rushing. It can be said that as long as the other party dodges its own carrier-based aircraft, it will definitely hit its own side.
If there is an opponent's large formation, then one's own side can only catapult and take off quickly, and go to fight. As for how much they can come back, it is really hard to say. Nathan also clenched his fists. The Soviets really would not give up. They bombed their bomber regiment, and they were about to destroy their own aircraft carrier. They had already known that they had left quietly. They absolutely couldn't be so swagger. If you make a circle in the Pacific Ocean and then secretly cross the strait at night, the Soviets certainly don't know.
Everyone was waiting, nervously watching the situation on the radar.
In the sky, there is no smell of gunpowder smoke, but it is the most intense.
The two Phoenix missiles had already flew towards each other, but the other side continued to fly forward steadily just as they did not know it.
Finally, Pugachev heard a voice that satisfied him: "Ready to launch."
"Launch!" Pugachev shouted, and as he shouted, the fire control hand pressed the launch button.
The flames flickered, and two huge AS-6 missiles separated from the pylons after one second interval.
When carried on the carrier, the missile's wings and tail are folded, which can greatly save space. Now, with the release of the missile, these wings are unlocked and unfolded smoothly.
At the same time, the missile was swaying downwards. After falling more than ten meters, a fiery flame emerged from the tail, and the engine was successfully started! The tail of the missile was dragging flames, and it began to accelerate swiftly and violently.
It has two modes. If it is long-distance, such as a range of more than 600 kilometers, it is the same as the orbit of the Phoenix. It accelerates first and climbs to high altitude. After all, the high altitude air is thin and the resistance is small, which can make the missile fly more. far.
In this process, the missile must keep in touch with the carrier because of the limitation of its own radar distance, because at such a long distance, the target will also be maneuvering on the sea.
The carrier aircraft needs to perform trajectory correction through radio commands. This process will run through the previous stage until the missile and the opponent’s warship are one to two hundred kilometers apart, the radar on the missile will lock the enemy ship, the missile will fly horizontally, and the engine will be used. In cruise mode, the flight trajectory is corrected in accordance with the radar data on the missile and the radio commands from the aircraft.
In this way, until the end of the flight, the missile enters a tilting dive state 60 kilometers away from the target. At this time, the missile completely uses the detection data of the radar on the missile and no longer receives radio commands from the carrier aircraft.
But now, when the missile is launched, it is only more than 200 kilometers away from the opponent’s warship. During this time, even if the target is sailing at full speed, it cannot escape the detection of the missile’s radar. The carrier aircraft can make corrections better. If you can't fix it, don't worry about it.
After the missile was ignited, it did not climb upwards, as long as ordinary level flight was sufficient.
When two small bright spots appeared and quickly left the target, everyone on the aircraft carrier exclaimed, damn it!
At this time, the second wave of carrier-based aircraft had just ejected and took off, and they were still far away from the target, and the two fighters in front of them were too close to the target. Will they have time to intercept it
In a typical interception process, the target can be intercepted at a distance of two hundred kilometers, the launch amount is calculated at 150 kilometers, and the fire is fired at a distance of 100 kilometers.
Now, the distance between the two sides is less than 80 kilometers, do they have time? (End of this chapter)
