The display screen in the cockpit is very large and divided into four parts. One of them displays a digital map. With the help of the Beidou navigation system, they will never get lost.
Four hundred nautical miles, three hundred nautical miles... fifty nautical miles!
What about the target? According to the original analysis, the target is ahead, but what about now?
"001 calls 002." Fatih broke the radio silence for the first time: "Have you found the target?"
"Not yet, but it will be soon. I believe the goal is ahead!"
Forty nautical miles, thirty nautical miles... When it was twenty nautical miles away, some light appeared on the sea in the distance!
"Visual detection of target!"
"Attention, prepare to attack!"
"yes!"
On the sea, a fleet was sailing forward, riding the wind and waves.
In the center of this fleet, there is a large warship. The deck of the warship is flat, and it can be seen that it is divided into two parts: the oblique angle and the bow. On the side of the bow, a whole row of aircraft are parked, and on both sides of the ship island
, in the rear, outside the marked areas, there are also a large number of aircraft parked.
The aircraft has a rectangular inlet, twin engines and twin vertical tails, and the vertical tails are outwardly inclined. They are the latest super bugs in service. There are also aircraft with large plates on top, and there are also helicopters.
The deck looked very busy, as a Super Big Bug was starting its engine in the parking area and preparing to taxi to the take-off area.
On the ship island, Kepler, the officer on duty, looked at the busy scene on the deck and couldn't help but complain.
"It is very safe here. There is no need for fighter planes to patrol at night. The Mediterranean Sea is our bathtub."
"According to the scheduled plan, we will pass through the Suez Canal tomorrow morning and then enter the Red Sea. It has not been very peaceful there recently. This world... all blames the damn Mingzhou Group!"
Now, there is no one who does not criticize the Mingzhou Group. After all, it is precisely because they have worked hard to build aircraft carriers and amphibious ships that these super battleships, which were originally only available to superpowers, have spread everywhere!
Originally, the top ten aircraft carriers in the world could include Siam's small 10,000-ton ship. Now, even among the top twenty, Siam's can't even make it!
"Yes, that damn Mingzhou Group keeps building aircraft carriers at a very fast speed. We have calculated that almost on average, an aircraft carrier can be built every year. This speed...even we can't compare with it. On average, we can
, it’s only been three years since we updated one!”
When it comes to Mingzhou Group, everyone is very angry.
Kepler also had a serious face: "The aircraft carriers they produce have a short cycle and low cost. Others can't match it. If we continue at this rate, we will lose our maritime advantage within ten years. Some time ago, France's
Reporters have gone to the East to report, but I don’t believe that their technology can be so advanced!”
"That's right, intelligence and assembly lines are all nonsense! When it comes to technology, we are the most advanced. When our Ford is put into service..."
At present, their only spiritual sustenance is the Ford. If this aircraft carrier can be put into service... then they can breathe a sigh of relief!
At this moment, a voice came from the radio: "Report, a weak suspicious echo was found on our phased array radar!"
"How weak?"
"It's similar to the echo from a sounding balloon."
"Then what's there to worry about?"
"But it's very fast, like a normal airplane."
"Don't worry, it may be a false signal from the radar." Kepler said, "Don't worry about him. After our escort fighter planes take off, go up and have a look."
Kepler didn't know, he made a big mistake!
On the deck, the super-large bug has slid onto the angled take-off line, and the deck crew is preparing for take-off in an orderly manner. To them, this is just a routine night take-off.
At this time, two stealth aircraft were roaring in the sky!
"The target has been locked!"
"emission!"
Bang, bang!
The hatch opened, and four specially-made bombs fell down, with angular shapes and two swept wings, and began to move towards the target!
At this moment, the phased array radar captured the target again.
"The target is clearer, and there are two. Please lock the attack... Hey, am I dazzled?"
When the bomb bay door is opened, the stealth shape is destroyed, and the passive phased array radar can of course clearly see it. However, just when it is about to switch to lock, the bomb has already gone down, the bomb bay door is closed, and the stealth shape is restored.
Got it!
The radar operator stared at the screen, and a faint echo appeared on it again. The two clear echoes just now were completely gone!
if……
If their radar is an active phased array, it can converge the beam better. If their data processing system is more advanced, it can systematically analyze the bright spots that just appeared suddenly. If the radar operators are more vigilant...
Of course, if it is just a hypothesis, it is meaningless and can only be used for subsequent analysis.
The four things had already flown towards the target on the sea, but due to their special appearance, they were not discovered and launched the most powerful attack in silence.
At this time, the deck of the big guy below was suddenly filled with smoke, and the super bug skillfully ejected and took off. The moment it left the deck, pilot Hux felt that his eyes were getting dark.
It seems that the activities with Black Rose in the pilot's dormitory during the day were a bit too intense, and I will have to restrain myself from now on.
They need at least five hundred female soldiers on their warships. The existence of these female soldiers can allow men to better relieve their stress. After all, drifting on the sea all year round and facing a boring life are likely to cause various negative emotions.
Female soldiers can reduce this negative emotion.
Of course, how exactly it is done depends on the abilities of the sailors on each aircraft carrier. The pilots are the most sought-after group.
Hux thought as he continued to climb the fighter plane. At this moment, the dark night sky above his head suddenly became brighter.
boom!
Boom boom boom!
Just like setting off fireworks, brilliant flames appeared in the night sky above their heads, and then, countless bright lines fell like shooting stars.
If they weren't alone, if the explosion wasn't above their heads, they would really have thought someone was setting off fireworks!
"Oh, damn, cluster bombs! Quick, activate the air defense system!" Kepler immediately shouted loudly after seeing the scene outside through the spacious porthole on the island.
In an instant, countless Phalanxes reversed direction and fired fiercely at the top of their heads, and more gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the dark night sky.
The Searam system also quickly began to launch, and missiles flew into the sky one after another dragging tongues of flame.
However, those missiles equipped with a large number of vertical missiles did not move and made no sound.
"Damn it, why didn't the standard missile launch?"
"The target is too small to lock on."
East.
"Mr. Qin, what are you talking about, cluster bombs hitting surface ships? It has been proven long ago that this is impossible." Zhang Zhong said and stood up from the sofa.
"Surface combatants need large anti-ship missiles with semi-armor-piercing warheads, especially to deal with those large targets of 100,000 tons. They need big guys weighing one or two tons, or rely on the kinetic energy of high-speed flight to kill. What are cluster bombs?
?Inside each bomb is a small ball of this size."
Zhang Zhong said, gesturing with his hands: "The most suitable targets for cluster bombs are ground targets, such as air force bases, radar and missile bases, barracks, warehouses, etc., to hit surface ships? It's just a joke!"
"I saw an introduction that said cluster bomb submunitions dropped from the sky and could penetrate steel plates a few tenths of a meter thick with their kinetic energy."
"Yes, cluster bombs that win by quantity, such as our Tianlei-500, carry five hundred submunitions, each of which can penetrate a 0.14-meter-thick steel plate. Cluster bombs that win by power, such as our Cloud
The Arrow-6 can carry six submunitions and can break through a 0.3-meter-thick steel plate, but what's the use of it?"
Zhang Zhong analyzed Qin Tao seriously.
"To deal with surface ships, the most important thing is power! Our heavy-duty anti-ship missiles often carry hundreds of kilograms of explosives inside the warhead. This ensures that after penetrating the steel plate on the surface of the ship, it explodes inside, causing a fire, and then causing the opponent to
The internal ammunition exploded. What cluster bombs lack is power. They are not powerful enough when they are gathered together. If they are separated, the power is even lower. It is simply scratching an itch!"
Qin Tao looked at Zhang Zhong with a smile. Zhang Zhong talked for a long time and found that he was too excited, so he sat back down again.
"Mr. Qin, what do you think?"
"I don't know either. There is no real combat example. It can only be said on paper. It would be great if there was a real combat example! By the way, let's discuss next. Can graphite bombs deal with surface ships?"
"This will definitely not work." Zhang Zhong suddenly stood up again: "Graphite bombs are mainly used to deal with transmission lines on land, causing the transmission lines to short-circuit and burn. The cables of surface ships are all inside, and they are tightly wrapped so that water vapor cannot get in.
What’s more, it’s graphite filaments.”
"Where's the radar?"
"Radar is also very difficult. If it is a radar in the previous era, the antenna is directly exposed to the outside. After it is covered by graphite filaments, there may be problems. But now the radars are all covered, and the graphite filaments cannot directly interact with the outside.
If the radar antenna is in contact, it won’t have much effect.”
Indoor wires are insulated, but those transmission lines on high iron shelves don't need this, because it's not necessary, and the insulation can't insulate tens of thousands of volts of high-voltage lines. Just keep them apart enough.
The high-voltage wires are all aluminum wires, with steel wires in the middle to provide strength support. These things will be attacked by graphite. But, other military facilities? Zhang Zhong feels that is enough.
"Mr. Qin, the plans you proposed are a bit unreasonable."
"Yes, without practical testing, who can know whether it is effective."
"A test of practice?" Zhang Zhong finally reacted: "Could it be..."
Brilliant fireworks bloomed in the dark Mediterranean, but they did not last long. Soon, countless steel ball-like things fell from the sky, just like rain.
Most of them fell into the sea. After all, no matter what they are, they are insignificant in front of the ocean. A small number of those that may have fallen on the deck suffered frantic attacks from the Phalanx and Hailam.
At the same time, the warship's nuclear reactor also began to operate at full speed, and the warship began to accelerate. As long as it left quickly, it would be fine.
Boom!
On the ship island, the captain hurriedly opened the door and ran in.
"Kepler, what's going on?"
"The cluster bombs suddenly exploded above our heads. Now, we are seizing the time to leave this ghost place. Thank you to Shangdi, so far, we are safe and sound..."
They don't understand Eastern philosophy, so they can't talk enough. Sure enough, the next second, boom!
The terrible impact sound passed through the steel plate and reached everyone's ears.
boom!
A raging fire broke out at the impact site.
"Fortunately, the runway was on fire and our parking area is safe." Kepler breathed a sigh of relief.
"Damage control, damage control!" the captain shouted the order.
Almost at the same time, boom! A second crash sounded, followed by another fire, and then countless people screamed.
The parking area is on fire!
A plane carrying a large plate was smashed through, and a loud explosion sounded. The plane turned into pieces, the fuel inside was ignited, and the raging fire quickly spread to the surrounding planes!
"Quick, damage control!" The captain was anxious.
"Fortunately, it's just on the deck..."
"Damn it, shut your crow mouth!" The captain looked at Kepler angrily, what are you talking about?
Boom!
Another submunition hit. This time, it still did not penetrate the high-strength deck, but it hit the wrong location: the port elevator!
It happened to hit the elevator, and at this time, the elevator was on the hangar deck below. So, when the submunition exploded, the blazing flames suddenly jumped into the hangar!
At this time, everyone was dumbfounded.
If there is a fire in only one place, then they can rescue it, but what if there is a fire everywhere?
With only three fire sources, damage control was already stretched thin, not to mention that the fourth and fifth flames were still burning!
The entire warship was in chaos.
This 100,000-ton warship is experiencing the most terrifying threat, and the other warships around it are not much better.
Boom!
When a collision sound came from the front deck of a nearby warship, everyone on the bridge looked over in fear, looking at the location of the collision. There were chocolate squares there!
boom!
Boom boom boom!
There was no need to save the warship, because the thing under the chocolate cube exploded, and the entire warship immediately broke into two pieces, and then sank rapidly. The sailors gave out desperate cries.
Plop, plop! Some people jumped into the water, some with lifebuoys, and some without lifebuoys. But if you stay, you will definitely die, and if you jump, you may not live. If you can't swim away quickly, the huge whirlpool caused by the sinking of the warship will destroy other people.
Suck everyone away!
"Damn it, who did this?" On a nearby warship, the captain looked at the sinking warship with an extremely serious face. He clenched his hands into fists and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Oh, look! Oh my god, what is that?"
On another nearby warship, four rectangular antennas were attached around the bridge. At this time, these four antennas seemed to be cursed, and their surfaces actually burned!
Graphite filaments not only act as conductors, allowing the antenna to conduct electricity, they can also burn!
When Lao Maozi's Chernobyl nuclear reactor exploded, it was because the moderator used graphite blocks. Later, when the temperature inside the core heated up, the graphite blocks immediately caught fire, just like a pile of burning coal.
Now, when those fluttering filaments in the sky covered the four-sided antenna, they immediately started burning! Soon, the four-sided antenna turned into an oven, and the flames began to spread inside!
Because this thing has high power and generates a lot of heat, there are heat dissipation holes near the antenna. Now, these heat dissipation holes have become a terrible source of fire!
In the sky, pilot Hux opened his eyes wide with fear.
As an experienced pilot, he has been on the battlefield, dropped many bombs, and killed many enemies. However, he never thought that one day his fleet would become like this!
Just a few cluster bombs can have such earth-shattering power?
In fact, they were two cluster bombs and two graphite bombs. However, after the graphite bomb exploded, there was no special movement. It was not like a technical bomb, but like a goddess scattering flowers, which was more beautiful.
No matter how much theoretical analysis is done, it is all theoretical. What the actual situation is, you have to do it to know!
Of course, those who receive such bomb attacks will suffer the most.
At this moment, Hux even felt like he was hopeless.
What should he do next? Re-adjust the direction and fly to the military base closest to him? Which one should he fly to?
He wanted to fiddle with the display screen in the cockpit, but later he realized: Where did these cluster bombs come from?
This kind of bomb is not a missile. It cannot fly by itself. It needs to be thrown. Moreover, the throwing aircraft will not be too far away, and then...
He suddenly concluded: it must have been done by those guys five hundred nautical miles south of the route, so he had to catch up first to determine whether it was true!
He turned on the afterburner extravagantly. At this moment, he suddenly missed the Tomcat. If it were a Tomcat fighter jet, it would suddenly enter the supersonic realm, while his big bug would have to fly slowly.
Fortunately, he didn't bring a bomb, just an air superiority mount. Otherwise, the big bug wouldn't be able to fly at supersonic speeds.
The big bug broke through the speed of sound with difficulty, and then continued to accelerate. At the same time, he turned on the airborne radar.
If the previous Big Bug was still using an ordinary pulse Doppler radar, he might still find nothing. But now, the Super Big Bug has been equipped with the advanced AN/APG-79 radar, which is a brand new active radar.
Phased array radar!
Soon, a weak echo appeared on his radar screen, and the direction of the echo's flight was exactly the direction he judged!
Damn it, it really is them!
Lock in and take them out!
Hax did not call to the rear, because it would be useless to do so. The people above could not care about him at all. He could only make his own choice. He would attack without hesitation!
Wait, the echo is too weak to lock!
Hux looked helplessly at the display on the screen, and then looked at his fuel gauge, which had dropped rapidly due to supersonic flight. So, he had no choice but to give up the pursuit and turn around and fly east.
