Affected by the curvature of the earth, radar on the ground or sea surface can only maintain a surveillance distance of about 40 kilometers for low-altitude targets. Early warning aircraft can see a distance of 350 to 400 kilometers in the air.

Just as Zhou Qingfeng was thinking about Increment's early warning opportunity was taking care of the "Allie Burke" class destroyer, Increment's air force was much bolder than he thought. They pushed the early warning aircraft over the Yucatan Peninsula.

The person who acted as an air intelligence officer on the early warning plane was Lieutenant Colonel Claude, who was shot down by Zhou Qingfeng with the "Pili-15" two days ago. The old lieutenant colonel fell into the sea after parachuting and supported the rescue ship with its own inflatable lifeboat.

After returning to the Florida air base, Lt. Col. Claude was embarrassed by his experience of being shot down. He was hit by some physical impact while skydiving, and after two days of rest, he could not fly the F-16 again for a short time, so he simply went to the e-3 early warning aircraft to serve as air conditioning command.

The angry Lieutenant Colonel Claude vowed to give the Aurora Legion a favor. He transferred a total of eight F-16s. Six of them mounted the Aim-120d with a range of nearly 200 kilometers, and two carried the ‘lrasm’ long-range anti-ship missiles.

‘lrasm’ is a sharp sword developed by the US military specifically to attack high-value targets at sea. Its range is up to 800 kilometers and is highly intelligent. As long as the target is discovered, it can fly independently until the target is destroyed. It can be launched outside the defense zone and penetrate invisibly, posing a great threat to warships.

The reason why Lieutenant Colonel Claude carries this fierce weapon is that the senior executives of Incredible could no longer bear the Aurora Legion's continued control of the USS Kennedy aircraft carrier. At present, when Havana obviously could not hold on, they were afraid that the aircraft carrier would escape, so they would even crippled it if they could not fight.

After the f-16 is equipped with a secondary fuel tank, the combat radius can exceed 2,000 kilometers, and it can completely fly from Florida to the west coast of Mexico. After a period of recent combat analysis, this area is considered to be the activity area of ​​the USS Kennedy aircraft carrier.

Lieutenant Colonel Claude was in the cabin of the flying e-3 early warning aircraft, staring at the radar screen and airspace maps, thinking about how to find the target. His plan was to cross the Yucatan Peninsula and enter the west coast of Mexico, and use the phased array radar on the early warning aircraft to search the entire sea area.

As the personal guards of the e-3, eight F-16s can theoretically block any attack. With early warning aircraft, the fleet is not afraid of any sneak attacks. As long as the target is discovered, the mission will definitely be successful.

"Sinking an aircraft carrier is the most glorious moment for a pilot. In the past few decades, no aircraft carrier has been sunk. Today I am going to make history!"

Lieutenant Colonel Claude felt that he was favored by God. The last time he was forced to skydive was a blessing in disguise. This is a task that can be remembered in history!

You should know that the current Aurora Legion is a toothless tiger, and the most important equipment is the 100,000-ton war beast sailing on the sea. In order to get the war beast bleeding from Zhou Qingfeng's pit, Yingkele is now at the point of destroying it.

Seeing that the Aurora Legion was about to hold on in Cuba, Incred was afraid that the backbone of the legion would escape on the giant ship, so he thought of simply sinking or injuring it.

In short, we must never let Victor Hugo escape the disaster. Incredible has been tortured by this guy. In order to kill him, he even doesn't want that precious aircraft carrier.

Now Lieutenant Colonel Claude came over with a powerful air strike force. This time he was so excited that he would never be careless and underestimate the enemy. He must get rid of the demon for America.

While crossing the Yucatan Peninsula, the air base behind Florida sent a message asking Lieutenant Colonel Claude to go to the Merida battlefield. The three Mexican divisions fighting in Merida fought with the Mexican army, with heavy casualties.

Major General Brinita, who was a mixed first division in Mexico, even pleaded on the radio: "We are battalions and battalions to be involved in the street fighting in Merida, and countless people died in damn streets and houses. More than half of our divisions have been injured and killed. You can shoot the ground!"

Lieutenant Colonel Claude did not respond at all to the pleas of the Mexican government troops on the ground. He directly refused the crying request for help. He had only one goal in his mind, that is, the aircraft carrier! The aircraft carrier!

What kind of merit can we make by sweeping the Army? What we need to do is to kill an aircraft carrier!

With excitement and great mission, the Claude fleet flew in the air for more than three hours and finally arrived on the west coast of Mexico. The radar on the back of the e-3 ‘Wanglou’ early warning aircraft scanned the surrounding waters hundreds of kilometers, and all the people opened their eyes wide, and the result...

I didn't even see it!

Hey..., why didn't there be?

Lieutenant Colonel Claude and the air commanders in the cabin kept staring at the radar screen, looking at every pixel. But whether it was sea or land, there were only nine of their own planes on the entire west coast of Mexico. The rest of the place was empty!

What about aircraft carriers?

It makes no sense!

Yesterday, the propeller carrier-based aircraft of the Aurora Legion were still airstriking the Mexican government forces outside Merida. Why are they no longer here today?

These grandchildren are not in this sea area, can they go there?

In anti-ship combat, the most important thing is not how far the missile is, nor how powerful the missile is, but how to find opponents in the vast sea. In the past, Americans had satellites, huge air surveillance systems, and various sensor vehicles, but now none of these things are available.

Lieutenant Colonel Claude rushed to the west coast of Mexico with full enthusiasm, but now one question arose in his and his subordinates' heads, the most important thing is where the 100,000-ton aircraft carrier went?

"Climb and expand the search range." Lieutenant Colonel Claude was unwilling to give up. He ordered the e-3 to fly to the ceiling of 12,000 meters so that the radar could see as far as possible.

But still not!

Is that aircraft carrier invisible?

The eight F-16s who came from e-3 were playing soy sauce and circled around their boss. The pilot who was flying the plane asked the boss again and again on the radio, what should I do now?

"You also expand the search scope to the outside world." Lieutenant Colonel Claude ordered unwillingly. The eight F-16s could only choose one direction in each direction and continue to fly out for a distance, and turn on the radar to search out.

However, when flying from Florida, it almost reached the limit of the combat radius of the F-16. After flying about two or three hundred kilometers, the entire fleet still gained nothing. Lieutenant Colonel Claude rushed over with confidence, but ended up losing!

Is there anything wrong?

"Where did this damn Victor Hugo run?" Lieutenant Colonel Claude, who was hit hard, was almost furious. But his F-16 must return now, otherwise he would not be able to land safely.

God, why is this happening? Lieutenant Colonel Claude really couldn't figure it out, why did the aircraft carrier "JFK" disappear for no reason?
Chapter completed!
