While the anti-submarine brigade was constantly searching for the missing No. 1 boat on the sea, the mixed attack formation taking off from Huangfang had begun to enter the waters of Xianlai Island.
They had received the message during the flight, and the four Haishangtang patrol ships that tried to escape back to their home port failed to escape.
In the end, all four patrol boats were hit by anti-ship missiles mounted on J15s launched by the red team's No. 001 aircraft carrier formation, and they all sank to the bottom of the water.
This result is actually not unexpected. After all, these four patrol boats have no air defense capabilities and are used as bait to lure the red team into being fooled.
But such a cruel result still made the pilots of the mixed attack formation furious.
So far, Huang Fang has suffered too much loss.
Three destroyers, plus one was severely damaged.
Now take 4 patrol boats.
Currently, three Soryu-class submarines are trapped in the waters south of Xianlai Island. According to the current situation, if our formation fails to destroy the red side's anti-submarine fleet, the three submarines may not see the sunset today.
When there were still 150 kilometers away from Xianlai Island, the team leader ordered the implementation of the "Stinger" plan.
Two F35As broke away from the formation and turned south.
The remaining aircraft continued to fly southwest along the original flight route.
Their mission is to launch an attack on the No. 001 aircraft carrier formation.
Of course, this is just a smoke bomb.
As the saying goes, Xiangzhuang's sword dance is about Pei Gong.
Most of the entire fleet plays supporting roles, and the two stealth F35As play the leading role.
The choice to let the F35A break away from the formation 150 kilometers northeast of Xianlai Island was carefully considered.
According to intelligence, the red side has a KJ-500 patrolling near the No. 001 aircraft carrier formation.
The purpose of this aircraft is very clear, which is to provide early warning for aircraft taking off from Huangfang Nabo, Sase and other airports.
According to the intelligence collected by Huang Fang over the years, the biggest black technology of the KJ-500 early warning aircraft is that it is equipped with a digital active phased array radar. It is the first country in the world to use the concept of digital active phased array radar. In terms of performance
It is far ahead of the mechanical scanning radars of Western countries.
The KJ-500 early warning aircraft equipped with a digital active phased array radar uses electronic scanning instead of mechanical rotation to provide a 360-degree scanning range without blind spots. The maximum detection range reaches about 500 kilometers, and can simultaneously track about 60-100 targets in the air.
, In addition, the aircraft can still detect stealth fighters, such as F-35 and F-22 fighters, at a distance of about 200 kilometers.
This is a perfect fit with the PL-15 air-to-air missile equipped by the red side, because the AIM-120D of the blue and yellow sides can only reach a range of 120 kilometers.
Therefore, once the red and blue sides encounter fighters of the same level and both have early warning aircraft, the red side will be able to detect and fire first.
Currently, what the blue side can take advantage of is a complete air combat system and a more complete variety of combat aircraft, especially in terms of aircraft carrier-based aircraft, which the red side cannot yet match.
This is also the reason why the red side pursues denial warfare and strives to confront the blue side within the first island chain. Only relying on the land-based anti-missile system can make up for the red side’s sea power comparison with the blue side.
shortcomings and shortcomings.
According to the detection range of the KJ-500, Huang Fang's fleet would actually have been discovered soon after it took off. However, in order to cover this mixed attack formation and achieve the purpose of rescuing three Soryu-class submarines, Huang Fang specially took off a latest
The RC-2 electronic reconnaissance aircraft.
RC-2 is a new electronic warfare aircraft that was extensively modified and upgraded on the C-2 prototype. It is used to replace Huang Fangkong's current old YS-11EB electronic reconnaissance aircraft, and it has only been officially launched in the past few years.
A new type of electronic warfare aircraft installed.
Compared with the ordinary C-2 transport aircraft, the RC-2 electronic reconnaissance aircraft has a larger and longer nose radome, and large fairings are installed on both sides of the fuselage, the end of the main wing, and the top of the vertical tail. The nose and
The sides of the fuselage, the ends of the main wings, and the top of the vertical tail are equipped with multiple electronic warfare systems, which can realize high-sensitivity digital signal reception and processing, quickly analyze complex signals that change in real time, and release more false signals to electronically suppress and interfere with the enemy.
, its combat performance is several times that of Huang Fang's current YS-11EB electronic reconnaissance aircraft, which cannot be underestimated.
This mixed attack group was under the surveillance of the KJ-500 from the beginning, but when it entered the vicinity of Xianlai Island, clutter interference appeared in the KJ-500's early warning radar. The radar sergeant in the early warning team immediately detected this
Report the situation to the crew chief.
The red team's KJ-500 early warning aircraft team also realized that the other party must have taken off a high-power electronic warfare aircraft.
Otherwise, it is not easy to interfere with the KJ-500 equipment.
At this time, before the red side's early warning aircraft had eliminated interference, the two F35As had begun to break away from the formation and flew towards the red side's sea surface submarine search area.
They are the protagonists of this operation.
Everything else is just smoke and mirrors for their appearance.
The success or failure of an action depends on this.
The two F35As took advantage of their excellent stealth performance and adopted a sea-skimming, low-flying attitude and began to fly towards the target.
At this time, they were only 200 kilometers away from the red team's submarine search area, which could be said to be arriving in a blink of an eye.
Just then, the crew received bad news——
Boats No. 2 and 3 in our own Soryu-class submarine formation were discovered and sunk by torpedoes launched by the red team's submarine search fleet ten minutes ago. Currently, the signal is interrupted, and it is believed that they have collectively died in the line of duty.
The pilots in the two F35As became even more angry and vowed to repay the red team ten times the price. They wished they could teleport to the red team's submersible search area immediately and go on a killing spree to vent their hatred.
Inside the Blue Army Joint Staff Headquarters.
Wen Zhaohui felt a little relieved as he watched the two F35As successfully break away from the formation and head towards the designated sea area.
From the time the RC-2 power station aircraft started to try interference to the time when the F35A left the fleet and secretly left the fleet, everything was coordinated perfectly.
Huang Fang's air force quality is still quite good, and he is not the kind of person who lives for a living.
Now we are looking at the performance of the two F35As in the remaining time. It is estimated that they will arrive in the relevant sea area and start killing in more than ten minutes at most.
Before the formation set off, Wen Zhaohui warned that the essence of the entire operation lies in one word - quick!
Arrive soon.
Shoot it down quickly.
Retreat quickly!
Because he knew very well that aircraft mother No. 001 was nearby. Even though sixteen carrier-based aircraft had taken off at this time, at least eight were still able to take off.
Once it reaches the sea area and starts to attack, it will definitely be discovered by the KJ-500 of the red team. At that time, the J15 will take off to rescue. The most dangerous thing is the destroyers scattered around the aircraft carrier. The HHQ-9B on their boats is not
The vegetarian, with the help of the early warning aircraft, taught the F35A how to behave in minutes.
