Chapter 112 Passing over the aircraft carrier
Chapter 1,12: Flying over the aircraft carrier
Time was passing quickly. After continuing to fly for a few minutes, Imad turned on the afterburner and pulled the operating lever backwards...
The secondary fuel tank was dropped ten minutes ago, and one-third of the fuel in the airframe had been consumed. The J-H-7's body has become lighter. Although its maneuverability is incomparable to that of an air-control fighter, it still has relatively good climbing performance.
The J-HK7 held its head and chest high and began to climb upwards. The Spey engine at its tail provided a steady stream of power. The two anti-ship missiles under the wings shone in the afternoon sun.
The radar operator in the rear cabin was focused on operating the radar that had been preheated and staring at the radar screen of the LCD screen in front. Many of Ousheng's products have been used on this fighter. The earlier the target is intercepted, the less risk they will be exposed.
The ultra-low altitude allowed them to avoid the other party's radar, and at the same time, they also made their own radar blind. Therefore, they had to climb high to discover targets and prepare for missile attacks, but it also meant that they might be discovered by the other party's radar.
However, because their missiles have a relatively long range, they can be launched outside the range of the opponent's air defense missile. After launching, they will immediately turn around and return, and there is no danger to the carrier.
At this time, the Aegis warship was equipped with a standard 2 missile with a range of only more than fifty kilometers. The abnormal standard 3 in later generations, and the latest modified range was more than one thousand kilometers. It was used to intercept ballistic missiles.
Even so, in real conflicts, there will definitely be an opponent's fighter jet in the sky, which is more dangerous to get close to a distance of 200 kilometers. This is also the advantage of aircraft carriers. Passively using air defense missiles and air defense is never as good as actively using fighter jets.
Under the radar cover at the front of the J-H-7, the flat-slit-pulse Doppler radar, which embodies countless efforts by technicians from Iraq, China, and Ousheng, began to work at full speed, rotate the universal joint, and scan the predetermined sea area. At the same time, the on-board computer also began to process data quickly. After 2 seconds, the radar operator in the rear cabin had already seen the long-awaited signals on the monitor.
The J-Hongqi dived again and entered a low altitude.
Through the data link, the long aircraft had transferred the radar detection signal to three other fighter jets, and at the same time, the long aircraft began to allocate targets.
There are eight missiles in total. How to allocate the attack target during attack is also a problem. Through the data link, the long aircraft not only transmits the target information, but also the allocation of the attack target has been completed.
If it is a real attack, then most missiles must be used to attack the central aircraft carrier. How to allocate targets and mobilize their air defense firepower, and tear their defense net under the Aegis system with anti-saturation strike capability is a brand new topic.
On the left side of the Carl Vincent aircraft carrier, the missile cruiser Vincent.
Zeus is the main god in Greek mythology and the third generation of god kings. Aegis is Zeus's shield, which is his defensive weapon. Named with such a name, fully demonstrating the Americans' trust in this ship-based defense system. This is a weapon specially developed for the US Navy to fight against the Soviet Union's saturation strike.
The four-sided phased array radar can fully monitor all surrounding airspace, cancel the rotation device of ordinary radar, reduce the failure rate, and scan the surrounding 360-degree sky at any time.
The single-arm launcher faces the task of not being able to launch a prepared missile quickly, while the mk41 vertical launch system can quickly launch multiple interceptor missiles. This air defense system, which costs more than 200 million US dollars, is the killer weapon of the US Navy.
On the flat plate of the spy-1 phased array radar, invisible electromagnetic waves are emitted, scanning the surrounding airspace.
Inside the bridge, an operator was bored on duty in front of the monitor.
Now, before entering the war zone, he asked his radar to turn on and start working normally, which made him feel a little slight resistance.
Before boarding the ship, he got the statement from a friend who worked in the hospital that working in a space with strong electromagnetic radiation for a long time can easily cause various physiological diseases, including weakening of **momentum activity, decreased, etc. This reminded him of having to undergo a physical examination every month since he became an operator of this kind of radar, which gave him an inexplicable feeling. He reported to him several times, hoping to transfer back to the fleet base, but he never received a reply.
(About this statement, there has always been a market. Is the strong electromagnetic radiation of large phased array radars so powerful? I hope professionals will explain it in the book review area.)
Therefore, when he operated this kind of radar, he was already very resistant. However, even if he was emotional, it would not affect the operation, because the automation ability of this system is relatively strong.
Search, scan, or even switch to attacks. If you rely on people to work, you may waste valuable fighter jets. Therefore, at the beginning of the development of this system, you attached great importance to automation capabilities. If you are in wartime, you can fully analyze, judge and attack completely.
Now, this system is also working automatically and is in a scan state.
The sky around was clean and there was nothing.
Suddenly, an alarm appeared on the radar screen.
The shocking word means that an unknown target appears, but then the screen becomes empty again and there is nothing left.
What was that? He thought about it for a moment and thought it was just a false alarm.
Now, the wind and waves are relatively large, and it is very likely that a wind and waves are too big. The radar treats it as an ultra-low-altitude aircraft? How could there be airplanes in such a ghost weather!
He ignored the echo very consciously, and he didn't see it clearly. It clearly shows that the false alarm caused by the wind and waves that he thought was actually several hundred meters high, and it might have been a hurricane.
When the U.S. Navy personnel were negligent, Iraq's naval aviation had completed a simulated attack. As long as they pressed the button, although it was unrealistic to completely sink this aircraft carrier because the U.S. aircraft carrier was laid with Kevlar armor, but it was still possible to lose its combat effectiveness.
The aircraft carrier is a giant at sea. When fighting such warships, ordinary anti-ship missiles are still not powerful enough. Only the perverted supersonic anti-ship missiles of the Soviet Union are the nemesis.
If they usually make such a bold attack, their best choice is to run away quickly and run as far as they can. But now, their main mission has not been completed: sweep over the US aircraft carrier deck at a low altitude!
The J-HK7 was still flying at an ultra-low altitude, and they were getting closer and closer to the other side's aircraft carrier formation.
With extreme trust in the Aegis system, coupled with the harsh weather, it is still a long distance. In order to rush, the US aircraft carrier formation does not seem to need to take off early warning aircraft, and they are all preparing for the upcoming exercise.
If it were in the war, any minor negligence could have catastrophic consequences, and now Americans are about to realize this.
After discussing the specific plan for the exercise, Ted turned his head and looked at his huge aircraft carrier on the relatively empty deck. The aircraft carrier under his feet was a symbol of the strong military strength of the United States!
On the deck, the staff are still busy, and the maintenance of the catapult has been completed. In high-intensity combat, the catapult basically needs to be maintained once a week, which is also a disadvantage of the aircraft carrier that uses the catapult.
Suddenly, a unique roar came from the sea in the distance. This roar was very familiar to the staff. It was the sound of the fighter jets.
What's going on? They didn't release a carrier-based aircraft throughout the day today. This aircraft was obviously not owned.
So, is it on the Kitty Eagle next to you? It doesn’t seem to be.
While they were confused, those planes had already flown into their sight. From the fuselage, they were completely different from the aircraft of their carrier-based aircraft wing!
Especially, under the wings of those aircraft, there were two large missiles, which were clearly anti-ship missiles!
Suddenly, the people on the deck became anxious.
The air defense alarm sounded across the entire aircraft carrier, and Ted and Dave in the captain's room had already seen the plane he had never seen before through the porthole.
Today is a day that Imad has been talking about. When their four J-H-7 fighters passed the deck of the Carl Vinson aircraft carrier, they could see the panicked people below, flaunting his wings and flying over the narrow deck at high speed.
The J-H-7 on the last recorded all this with camera equipment, especially the US Navy on the deck is pushing a Tomcat fighter jet onto a catapult from the shutdown area.
The reaction on the USS Carl Vinson was very fast. A Tomcat fighter they arranged aside was quickly preparing for the departure. Although it only carried two rattlesnake missiles, the pilot still ran onto the plane quickly. Then, the plane was dragged out of the stoppage area and quickly ejected from the catapult, which took less than two minutes. To be precise, it was one hundred and one second.
However, when the Tomcat fighter planes flew away from the deck, the planes that invaded them had disappeared from sight.
The J-HK 7 conducted ultra-low-altitude penetration at a speed of Mach 0.8. In more than a hundred seconds, they had already flew more than 20 kilometers away. The pilot of the Tomcat fighter discovered them from the radar. However, it was meaningless to lock the other party at this time. The Tomcat fighter had performed many expulsion missions, and this expulsion mission was already completed. (To be continued.
