The Navy uses the E-2 early warning aircraft. In addition to the most advanced E-2D, this early warning aircraft uses mechanical scanning radar, and the radar used is also in the UHF band.
At this time, a large number of Hawkeye 2000 early warning aircraft used the APS-145 radar. This radar has a search range of 500 kilometers and also has advanced data processing capabilities. It is considered a very good model.
Due to the operating band problem, this early warning aircraft first discovered the stealth aircraft, but even then, the detection distance was only a hundred kilometers away.
At this time, the warship on the flat deck had already launched the first wave of aircraft, and its speed had dropped to a dozen knots. The nuclear reactor boiler was operating at maximum power, but it would still take a certain amount of time to speed up to the point where the next wave of aircraft could be launched.
So now, what to do?
Without any hesitation, Brian immediately issued the order: "All fighters that have taken off, immediately fly towards the target and shoot down the target!"
It is impossible to shoot them down. No matter how powerful the radar of the super bug is, it is impossible to easily detect the stealth aircraft. They can only see the vague approximate location of the target under the guidance of the early warning aircraft. There is no way at all.
Can't lock the target.
The radar couldn't be used, the missiles couldn't be used, and at this moment, they suddenly discovered that they seemed to have only the cannon left.
Even if you use machine guns, you must knock the opponent down!
A large number of fighter planes pounced on the airspace where the target was located.
Then, Brian issued a second order: "Attention, the entire fleet, turn off all lights!"
This order is a bit confusing.
If it is a fighter plane in the air, in order to avoid revealing its location, it may turn off its navigation lights and become a ghost in the dark. However, a warship turns off its lights? Although the sea is large, there is a risk of collision. Warships must turn on various lights.
Only in this way can we remind others to avoid collisions.
As for large warships with flat decks, it is even more important to turn on the lights. Even with various radars, lights are still the best guide.
But now, the order makes sense: hide yourself.
Only by concealing yourself can you not be discovered by sneak attack targets in the sky. Although the opponent will most likely not drop the bomb visually, you still need to reduce the probability of being discovered.
If the opponent turns on the radar, the precise position will be exposed, and then the enemy's fleet of aircraft will swarm up and kill them. If the opponent does not turn on the radar, other methods will be needed. The bright lights on the sea are the best guidance.
So, turn off the lights for now!
Although some captains did not understand this order, they still had to follow it. As the lights went out one by one, the sea became pitch black.
Brian looked at the night sky above his head and murmured: "God bless us, don't let us suffer any more losses!"
Suddenly, various excited calls, curses, and shouts came from the radio, which made everyone excited.
The target has been found, the next step is to attack!
Tracers appeared in the sky, which were machine guns firing! These bright lines were intertwined and rushed towards a target in the distance.
The target was hiding in the sky, but faced with the swarm of aircraft that rushed towards it like locusts, it was ultimately outnumbered.
A fireball bloomed in the sky.
"Killed!"
"I knocked it off!"
"not me!"
The voice of claiming credit came from the radio, but these are not important. What is important is that the terrifying ghost-like thing was finally shot down!
Brian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is there only one?" Austin was a little curious.
"Yes, they should have two." Brian said: "However, those people are not very motivated. As long as one is shot down, the other will run away in panic. Next, it is our turn to attack.
,give an order……"
Before Brian could finish speaking, suddenly, a horrified voice came from an Aegis battleship.
"Two targets were found, falling from the sky!"
"We must blow it up immediately, don't let it explode!"
A moment later, the deck of the Aegis battleship burst into flames, and the standard missiles had already jumped up, and they were about to blow up the target!
However, the target was more cunning than they thought. Just before the standard missile could reach it, two brilliant sparks bloomed in the sky, and two cluster bombs exploded!
At this moment, everyone's hearts sank.
"All close-defense weapons fire, and we must shoot down every projectile that can threaten us!" Brian knew that the most dangerous moment had arrived!
Fortunately, they had been prepared, fortunately they had prepared a plan, fortunately there were not many planes left on the deck, and the fleet had dispersed.
At this moment, suddenly, a terrible shock came, and Brian rushed out of the chair. His head hit the glass in front, and blood spattered.
Boom!
A terrible crash sounded.
An Aegis warship originally wanted to provide better cover for the flat-deck warship, but it moved directly in front of the flat-deck warship, and the two warships collided!
At this time, Brian realized that he had made a big mistake. He actually forgot to turn on the navigation lights again. There were so many warships, and they were engaged in air defense in the dark, so it was easy for them to collide.
Unfortunately it's too late.
Even a 10,000-ton Aegis warship couldn't stop the impact of a 100,000-ton flat-deck warship. It was abruptly broken in half. Fortunately, it didn't hit the vertical hair device, otherwise...
Countless people fell into the water, and countless people screamed, but we couldn't care about them now because those small projectiles had already fallen from the sky!
Most of the projectiles fell into the sea water, and only a very small part of the projectiles fell on the deck. But this time they were well prepared. Damage control personnel quickly stepped forward to extinguish the fire as soon as possible, plus the number of aircraft on the deck.
It was rare and did not cause a chain reaction.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Countless Phalanx fires continue, and tongues of flames shoot out on the dark sea, which looks very spectacular.
Suddenly, sparks were emitted from the bridge of an Aegis battleship. These sparks connected together like thunder and lightning.
Graphite bomb!
This thing specializes in destroying power grids, and also destroys radars. When the radar antenna is hung with this thing, the antenna is finished. Amidst the crackling sparks, the radar antenna is completely useless.
If the radar antenna is broken, the Aegis warship will be useless, but fortunately, there are many Aegis warships nearby, so it will be fine if one of them is broken.
Since the attack density was not high, there seemed to be no threat in this attack. When all the interceptions were over, Brian let out a long sigh of relief.
The biggest loss was the sinking of an Aegis warship and the damage to a radar. There were no problems with the other warships, especially those with straight decks, which were still intact.
So, there is no danger.
He looked down, the lights had been turned on, and the entire fleet was back to normal again.
"Give an order to pursue the escaping plane and shoot it down!"
"Oh, damn, what is that?" At this moment, Austin suddenly cursed.
A ball of flame suddenly burst out from the side of the nearby Aegis battleship. What was going on?
Under attack again?
Why didn't the radar respond? Why didn't the early warning aircraft give an early warning?
Boom! The explosion came next.
This seemed to be just the beginning, one after another flames bloomed on the nearby warships, and suddenly a group of flames bloomed next to the Phalanx, where there happened to be a large number of artillery shells!
Boom! The next moment, a terrible explosion sounded.
During the interception just now, the Phalanx was mainly used. This thing has a fast rate of fire and strong firepower, but it also means that its sustainability is weak, and all the artillery shells will be used up soon.
In order to prepare for the next attack, many warships are mounting additional artillery shells. This thing cannot be loaded automatically, so people have to manually roll the ammunition chain into the drum.
As soon as there was an explosion here, a fire immediately started and spread quickly to the nearby naval guns!
boom!
There was another explosion, and a ball of flame exploded next to the helicopter hangar of a certain warship. The flames penetrated the helicopter hangar and then jumped in. Soon, smoke and dust billowed on the warship.
They are not anti-ship missiles because their power is too small, but at the same time, it also means that they are very small and difficult to be detected by early warning aircraft and Aegis systems. Moreover, just now, all the radars were facing the sky and ignored the sea surface.
This is a drone, a large number of drone attacks!
In the sky, Fatih was in a complicated mood as he was returning.
Mahmoud did not come back, and was targeted before he reached the attack position. As for the reason... it should be that the stealth coating repaired by the pot ash failed to work, and he was targeted by the opponent.
However, Fatih did not have time to remember his comrades. He had to go up, he had to throw bombs, and he had to attack the enemy!
Fortunately, he successfully threw the bomb. Regardless of whether it can continue to be effective, in short, he has completed the mission! Because his mission is only the first wave!
The low-altitude drones are the second wave of attack force. These drones are not very powerful, but there are a lot of them! When these aircraft pass overwhelmingly, the opponent will be unable to resist!
Phalanx has run out of ammunition, so they can only continue to let standard missiles take off. Using standard missiles to fight drones is like using anti-aircraft guns to fight mosquitoes. However, there is nothing we can do about it.
, we can’t let these drones attack them and pose a threat to them, right?
When I thought of this, the sound of the alarm receiver suddenly came from the earphones.
There are missiles flying towards me!
Fatih immediately operated the fighter plane to dive, then pulled up, and successfully avoided the infrared-guided air-to-air missiles. However, missiles flew over one after another. After dodging several in a row, Fatih was exhausted.
, finally did not escape the next one.
A fireball exploded in the sky.
"Report, the second plane was shot down!"
After receiving this news, Brian finally breathed a sigh of relief. All two stealth aircraft were shot down, and the remaining attacks...
They are just some innocuous drones! Even if they land on their warships, they will just cause a fire. Therefore, the colonel's tactics are also very simple. In order to replicate the successful experience last time, he also added unmanned aerial vehicles.
machine.
Humph, can this thing fight?
"Concentrate your firepower and shoot down all these drones!"
This round of air defense operations lasted for more than twenty minutes. The rising smoke and burning flames all told the intensity of this battle.
"All the drones have been shot down. Only five of our warships were injured, but the fires were all under control."
Last time, because I was caught off guard and couldn't react correctly in time, I paid a heavy price. This time... the other party is no better than that!
Brian had a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Report, please give instructions whether the fighter planes we released will fly to land or return to our fleet!"
Brian thought briefly: "The opponent only has two stealth aircraft, and they have all been shot down by us, so there is no need to worry about being attacked now. Of course, they have to land on our aircraft carrier. We are the Navy, not the Air Force."
As a result, the aircraft carrier switched to the mode of recovering carrier-based aircraft, and the fighter planes that had been in the air for more than half an hour began to return one after another, and the fleet became busy again.
The Hawkeye early warning aircraft, which had been struggling for a long time, was about to return. Just when the radar officer took one last look at the radar screen, he suddenly became frightened.
"A large number of planes have been discovered on the sea and are flying towards us!"
The colonel not only has stealth aircraft, but also a large number of non-stealth aircraft! These aircraft finally flew over, intending to launch a fatal attack!
At this time, the warships on the flat deck were recovering carrier-based aircraft. The deck was very busy. Some of the recovered carrier-based aircraft were directly placed in the bow take-off area, occupying all the space. Two ejection missiles on the oblique deck
The device can be used, but it cannot be used during the recovery phase because serious interference will occur during takeoff and landing.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! For a moment, Brian panicked.
"Immediately order the planes preparing to land to intercept ahead!"
"Our fleet immediately forms an anti-aircraft formation!"
There are still planes in the sky that have not landed. Those planes can definitely fly over and intercept them!
"Those planes are low on fuel. If they fly over, they probably won't be able to come back," Austin said.
"If you can't come back, you have to go! We can't let our formation get into trouble. Where are our Aegis battleships?"
"During the interception just now, a large number of anti-aircraft missiles were launched. Currently, the remaining missiles in the launcher are anti-missile interceptors..."
Although they have a powerful fleet, now is when they are at their weakest!
A large number of aircraft groups flew over. Some of them were intercepted by carrier-based aircraft, and some broke through the defense network of carrier-based aircraft, and then switched to ultra-low-altitude attacks. In normal times, the powerful formations here would not be afraid at all, but
Now, they have no missiles, and they only have anti-missile interceptors in their silos. It is very inconvenient to use such missiles to intercept ultra-low-altitude targets.
Some fighter planes successfully penetrated the defenses and began to launch anti-ship missiles. The old Exocet missiles began to fly on the sea. Some planes did not even have anti-ship missiles and flew over the target's head to drop bombs.
One after another, the naval guns started firing and kept firing into the sky. Some planes were blown up and turned into fireballs and fell down. Some planes continued to fly forward, dropped bombs and then returned successfully.
The commanders on the warships issued various orders, and from time to time they would operate the rudder full-scale, trying to avoid it.
Some warships have also begun to be attacked.
Boom, boom!
This night, the Mediterranean Sea was filled with smoke. This night, I don’t know how many people will never see the sun the next day!
East.
"President Qin, something big happened in the Mediterranean!"
"Well, how big is it? Can it break the sky?"
"It's very big. This colonel is really fierce!" Salman said excitedly: "It actually took three rounds of attacks. His tactics successfully penetrated the defense. However, I don't think he could come up with this method.
"
"The colonel has been holding it in for a long time, so it's normal for him to pull out a big move." Qin Tao said.
"Yes, this ultimate move is simply breaking the news. Now, the colonel has absolutely no way out. The three gangsters have announced that they will unite to fight him. Moreover, some other countries are also planning to take action.
I could deny it last time, but I can’t deny it this time.”
The fighter planes that crashed into the sea, the bombs that were dropped, and the pilots who were rescued from the sea all tell their origins.
Of course, the colonel is also a good man. Just admit it if you do it this time. Come together and beat me. Why don't you let me fight back?
"Fortunately, we have put aside our relationship and came to the East. I just don't know how it will end next." Salman was a little worried.
"They can fight however they want. It doesn't have much to do with us anyway. But our exercises are already underway. Everyone, don't stay here anymore. Next, let's go to the Navy's command center and work together.
How about observing this exercise?"
"good."
Going east from Mingzhou, you can reach Zhoushan, which is the headquarters of the Eastern Fleet, and this exercise was also planned by the Eastern Fleet.
In the past, to organize an exercise of this level, three fleets needed to unite and mobilize warships from each other to complete the task. But now, only the eastern fleet itself can support it!
After all, the power they have at hand is already very strong. If they are alone, they will not be weaker than any country except the United States. This exercise is also hosted by the fleet here.
However, as the most important exercise, in addition to the local area, there are of course many leaders from the capital to observe. Wu Shengli is sitting here with a very serious expression. It does not look like an exercise, but like it is really going on.
Just like fighting.
The entire fleet command hall was renovated last year. The front wall is covered with an entire LCD screen, which is enough to display the situation of the entire Western Pacific. Below are several rows of control desks. There are people watching on each desk, and it looks like a space launch.
The same command hall.
"For this exercise, we launched five more satellites." Seeing everyone coming in, Wu Shengli showed a smile on his face: "Considering that the risks at sea are relatively high, we will just observe here.
With so many satellites supporting it, everything is immersive.”
