Chapter 394 SEAD Operation

"Taking out the S300 anti-aircraft missile emplacement? They really can talk!" Xu Xian sneered disdainfully.

The S300 air defense missile system is a first-class air defense system in the whole world. I am afraid that the government army also had a headache about it before. This time I just took this opportunity to let others help remove this thorn in my side. Why not?

.

However, rationally speaking, Xu Xian felt that the government troops did not have the guts to do this deliberately, but this time luck happened to blow up and it was an opportunity that came to their doorstep.

"What does it mean?" Xu Xian asked: "S300 is not an easy thing to deal with!"

"The S300 is difficult to deal with, of course I know. However, the government forces do have limited capabilities. Unless the anti-aircraft missile position is eliminated, the government forces will not be able to carry out air strikes against the rebels besieging the airport." Wang Zhaoxin pursed his lips: "And

, the superiors intend to take over this actual battle!"

Xu Xian was stunned for a moment: "Isn't this being used as a weapon?"

"You can't say that! Your vision of the situation is still too small." Wang Zhaoxin shook his head: "The Gongbang country treats us as gunmen, and their vision is only limited to the gains and losses of that missile position. However, our army happens to take advantage of

When it comes to sharpening your knife, the S300 is just a good whetstone.”

"Sharpen the knife!" An idea flashed in Xu Xian's mind: "The superiors want to take this opportunity to conduct actual combat training in SEAD operations?"

"That's right! Ground-based air defense fire suppression operations!" Wang Zhaoxin gradually straightened up: "Although our army has practiced SEAD operations many times, it has never conducted actual combat. This time, the Contribution Country gave us a legitimate opportunity.

If you don't have an actual SEAD operation, you would be sorry for yourself. The S300 air defense missile is already a very capable air defense missile system in the world and has great practical value. Do you think this is true? Simulation exercises are never real.

,Only real actual combat can make people transform!"

"This..." Xu Xian's heart moved slightly. He really hadn't thought of this level. Indeed, no matter how good the drill effect is, it is still not as good as a real fight. And the chessboard of Gongbang Country is not as large as it is.

It is large, and it is close to the country, so everything is within control. This time, it is justified to comply with the request of the government forces. It is really unreasonable not to seize this actual combat opportunity and polish my own SEAD combat tactics.

It can only be said that Xu Xian's vision was limited due to the restriction of his position. He only saw the shamelessness of the Gongbang government troops borrowing donkeys from the slope, but failed to see the precious actual combat opportunities contained therein.

"Is that a soft kill or a hard kill?" Xu Xian asked.

For enemy air defense fire suppression operations, there are two ways of killing, namely soft kill or hard kill. The so-called soft kill means using certain means to interfere with or suppress the enemy's electronic system, thereby causing it to lose its combat capability. And hard kill

The damage is too direct. It uses anti-radiation weapons to directly destroy the enemy's electronic equipment and eliminate the enemy's threat in a physical sense.

Compared with the simplicity of hard kill, soft kill has a more serious problem, that is, the possibility of the enemy's air defense system recovering. Just like high-power microwave bombs, this is a very typical soft kill method. High-power microwave

The bomb can paralyze the enemy's electronic system for a period of time, but it does not completely destroy it, so the enemy has the possibility of repairing it.

However, although the hard kill effect is simple and crude, it is also more difficult.

"Of course it's a hard kill!" Wang Zhaoxin said: "Those trash from the government forces, even if we paralyze the rebels' missile and air defense systems, they may not be able to seize this opportunity. It's better to get rid of them once and for all, so as to avoid future troubles."

Wang Zhaoxin has no confidence in the combat capabilities of the Gongbang government army. He is afraid that his side will temporarily paralyze the S300 anti-aircraft missile base, but the Gongbang government army simply cannot seize this opportunity. So aren't their efforts in vain?

Rather than pinning hopes on the unreliable Gongbang government troops, it would be better to directly and completely eliminate the S300 anti-aircraft missile positions.

"Then do we need to apply for electronic countermeasures aircraft from Beikong?" The center of SEAD operations should be electronic countermeasures aircraft. However, electronic countermeasures technology is not yet mature, and to deal with radar devices with stronger anti-interference capabilities such as the S300, combat operations are required.

Electronic countermeasures aircraft with stronger capabilities electronically suppress enemy air defense radars. But as far as Xu Xian knows, this type of high-level electronic warfare aircraft is only available in the North Air Force, and certainly not in the West Air Space.

In fact, loading C15 or C16 with electronic warfare pods will also provide certain electronic warfare capabilities. However, the electronic warfare capability generated by this method of installing electronic pods cannot effectively deal with air defense radars of the S300 level.

It has not been caught. Professional electronic countermeasures aircraft are still needed.

Since this is a rare opportunity for actual combat, we must adhere to the country's consistent combat style, which is to make a big impact with one hit. This time, the enemy's missile positions must be destroyed with a thunderous force. Since the success rate must be guaranteed, the North must

Airborne advanced electronic countermeasures aircraft cannot.

It’s just that Xu Xian knew that Beikong’s electronic countermeasures fleet was at the Beikong Base Airport, a military airport near Hanking Airport. It’s a full three thousand kilometers from there to Bisu. This is not a short trip.

You can get through it in two hours.

Moreover, general SEAD operations require the use of an entire electronic countermeasures squadron, not just a single electronic countermeasures aircraft. The scale of mobilization is much larger. As the signature of Beikong, the electronic countermeasures fleet is estimated to be difficult to dispatch in terms of scheduling procedures.

It is also very troublesome and will definitely take a lot of time.

Moreover, the most critical thing is that Beikong and West Air have never conducted joint operations. When the Beikong electronic countermeasures fleet arrives here, it will take time to adjust how to cooperate and fight.

But the people at the airport couldn't wait any longer. Even if there were government soldiers stationed at the airport and they could resist for a while, Xu Xian firmly believed that it wouldn't take long.

It is indeed a safe move to bring in the electronic countermeasures fleet from Beijing Air Conditioning, but Xu Xian believes that this move will delay the fighter plane.

"That's natural. Only Beikong's electronic countermeasures fleet in China can confidently suppress the S300 air defense radar. This strike against the rebel air defense missile positions is a rare cross-border combat. Naturally, nothing can go wrong." Wang Zhaoxin

Sighing: "When will we have a capable electronic countermeasures fleet in the western sky?"

To be honest, West Air Force plays a marginalized role in the entire Air Force deployment, while Beikong is basically treated like a biological son. After all, the space commander is only a 20-minute drive from Beikong Command.

"But is it too late to start the air-conditioned electronic countermeasures fleet from the North? Let's not talk about how long the application process will take. Their joint combat plan with us has not yet come out. Could it be that the staff department is now asked to formulate a temporary combat plan? Moreover

, Our pilots in the West Air Space do not have much experience in joint operations with electronic countermeasures fleets. Even if the combat plan comes out, how much of the essence of the combat plan can be realized in actual combat?" Xu Xian shook his head: "There are too many problems! I don't think so.

It is a good idea to temporarily deploy the North Air Force electronic countermeasures fleet."

"There is no way. The rebels' siege of Konbang Airport was too sudden and disrupted all our plans. We also did not expect that the Konbang government forces would ask us to attack the rebel anti-aircraft missile positions."

However, Wang Zhaoxin had to admit that the West Air Staff made some mistakes this time.

As for the problem of the Western Air Force pilots’ lack of experience in joint operations with the electronic countermeasures fleet, there is really nothing that can be done about it. It is an objective equipment problem.

The most important thing is that the Western Air Force does not have a capable electronic countermeasures fleet, so how can it conduct joint operations with its own combat aircraft units? Joint operations between ordinary aircraft and electronic countermeasures fleets require practice, otherwise you will not understand anything.

The electronic countermeasures fleet will cause false interference to friendly aircraft. If other aircraft are too close to the electronic countermeasures aircraft, the huge noise waves generated by the electronic countermeasures aircraft can burn the electronic equipment of the friendly aircraft. If this really happens, that is

A real blow to friendly forces.

Xu Xian has participated in joint combat training with the electronic countermeasures fleet. This is because there is an electronic countermeasures squadron in the Gengdu aircraft carrier strike group of the South Ship. Moreover, the level of the electronic countermeasures squadron of the Gengdu aircraft carrier strike group is not high.

It is weaker than Beikong. But in this kind of enemy air defense fire suppression operation, Xu Xian cannot be the only fighter, right?

Domestic electronic countermeasures aircraft are basically modified transport aircraft platforms and do not have the ability to carry and launch weapons. If soft kill is to be achieved, domestic electronic countermeasures aircraft may be able to do it alone, but to achieve hard kill, fighter jets must be used.

This is achieved by mounting anti-radiation missiles.

Some domestic electronic countermeasures aircraft can be equipped with anti-radiation missiles at the same time, which can perform electronic suppression and electronic destruction at the same time. At present, there is no model in China that is specially equipped with an electronic warfare platform. However, future electronic countermeasures aircraft will have certain strike capabilities.

The ability is basically certain. After all, it saves time and effort to cross the river by touching others, so why not do it?

"Our pilots in the Western Air Space have long lacked joint combat experience in electronic warfare. This is limited by the size and type of our fleet. The problem you mentioned does exist. Even if the electronic countermeasures fleet from the North Air Force comes over, there is no corresponding response.

We have fighter pilots who can cooperate." Wang Zhaoxin lowered his head and thought for a moment: "If it really doesn't work, you can directly apply for the transfer of a team of fighter jets from the North Air Force and directly form a joint attack force with the electronic countermeasures fleet? This time our West Air Force will

No more participating! As for the issue of deployment distance, the aviation department is currently making calculations. If you really feel that deployment from Beikong is too far and troublesome, you can consider deploying an electronic warfare squadron from the South Ship Gengdu aircraft carrier strike group.

and a fighter squadron."

If we can't count on Beikong, we can only settle for the next best thing and ask the South Ship for help. The South Ship's Gengdu aircraft carrier strike group also has good electronic countermeasures capabilities.

However, no matter what, Nisikora cannot be the protagonist in this operation.

There are very few opportunities to engage in actual combat with foreign countries. Many soldiers may not encounter it even once from the time they serve to the time they retire. This time, the rebels' anti-aircraft missile positions are clearly next to the boundary of the western airspace. Their priority for attack should be in the western airspace.

However, due to the weak electronic warfare capabilities of the West Air Force, he could only give up this opportunity and become an assistant. To be honest, Wang Zhaoxin felt aggrieved. But what could he do? His skills were inferior to others, so he could only give way.

.

"I heard that the Gengdu aircraft carrier strike group has gone to sea again. If you want to apply for the deployment of the electronic warfare squadron and fighter squadron of the Gengdu aircraft carrier strike group, you need to do it in advance. Otherwise, the Gengdu aircraft carrier strike group has gone too far and it will be troublesome to fly over.

Very good." Wang Zhaoxin sighed, feeling a little helpless when he spoke.

"Is this what the commander means?" Xu Xian stared at Wang Zhaoxin closely: "The commander also means that the electronic countermeasures aircraft from the North Air Force or the South Ship will be the main force of this operation?"

"That's right!" Wang Zhaoxin looked at Xu Xian: "What do you mean by asking this?"

Wang Zhaoxin keenly felt that there was something in Xu Xian's words.

"Far water cannot save nearby fire. Although in theory, the government troops stationed at the airport can still put up some resistance, we should not place our hopes on the government troops." Xu Xian said solemnly: "Whether it is from the northern sky,

Or transfer the electronic countermeasures fleet from the South Ship, which will involve complicated procedures. Now time is life, time is everything, and we cannot afford to wait."

"What do you mean? Shouldn't we wait for the electronic countermeasures fleet to rush into the enemy's missile position? However, there is no undulating terrain around the rebel missile position to approach, so rushing into the missile position is not seeking death?" Wang Zhaoxin said anxiously:

"Xu Xian, I understand your urgency, but you can't let this mess you up. The S300 missile is not just a show."

If there are undulating terrain, or river valleys, rifts, and the like near the rebel air defense missile positions, then the fighter jets can rely on the terrain to evade the search of the air defense radar. After approaching, they can be eliminated in one fell swoop.

However, there is no coverable terrain near the rebel anti-aircraft missile positions. If they storm the missile positions, they will be used as targets for anti-aircraft missiles. Wang Zhaoxin cannot accept this suicidal attack method in any case.

"We, the West Air Force, should have been responsible for this operation. So what if there are no electronic countermeasures aircraft? I can still kill them!" Xu Xian squinted his eyes, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Wang Zhaoxin's heart moved: "Without the electronic suppression of electronic countermeasures aircraft, it is impossible for aircraft to bypass the enemy's air defense detection radar?"

"What's impossible?" Xu Weiwei raised his head slightly: "There is no electronic suppression? Then saturate and occupy the fire channel!"

...

West Air Command Operations Analysis Room.

West Air Force Commander Liao Yuan was looking at an electronic map in a daze, when suddenly a person appeared behind him, it was West Air Force Chief of Staff Jing Chenfei.

"Old Liao, just now Wang Zhaoxin sent me a combat plan." Jing Chenfei handed a piece of paper to Liao Yuan who turned around: "This plan was proposed by Xu Xian and does not require the use of electronic countermeasures aircraft."

Liao Yuan stared at the paper for a moment, and his pupils shrank slightly: "Saturation occupying the fire channel?"

"Yes, saturation occupies the fire channel." Jing Chenfei, as the chief of staff, is naturally familiar with various tactics: "This is also a classic tactic in SEAD operations. The S300 fire control radar has a total of six fire channels. As long as we use

If all its fire channels are occupied, then the seventh fighter can enter in a majestic manner. This is a derivative of the saturation strike tactic!"

"Is this method... feasible?" Liao Yuan was not an expert in various types of tactics, but when Jing Chenfei said this, it was naturally not Xu Xianwu's target.

"I think it's feasible!" Jing Chenfei said: "What Xu Xian means is to prepare on both sides. On the one hand, transferring people from the North Air Force or the South Ship, we in the West Air Force should also make preparations. Isn't it more practical to take a two-pronged approach than to put all our hopes on others?

"

Xu Xian did not deny the role of Beikong or Nanjing's electronic countermeasures fleet, but due to the time-consuming deployment, Xu Xian hoped to make two preparations. They would organize a wave in West Air first, and if it failed, Beikong and

The southern ship made up for it.

But there is a problem, that is, the aviation department cannot accept failure. This requires the plan submitted by Xu Xian to be convincing enough.
