Chapter 451 The second batch of missiles strikes
Rear of the formation.
The Badel and the Sambuk missile boat jointly attacked, and finally sank two of the speedboats neared. After seeing the situation, the other two fled from the battlefield.
The technicians from Iraq who came from the Badel began a intensive emergency repair. The antenna was damaged and they had no spare parts, so they could only repair the original antenna.
They are now competing for time with Iranian missiles, so each of them is working hard, not caring about being attacked at any time, climbing onto the broken mast at the tail.
Repair the antenna!
At the same time, on the Aibuha, the atmosphere reached the most tense level.
There were two silkworm missiles flying over the sea. What was very fatal was that they would arrive almost at the same time. Now there was only a dozen seconds left for the Aibuha, and they could only shoot down one of them.
Although after completing the guided first batch of missiles, the fire control system urgently turned to the second batch of missiles that had been launched earlier, and the third batch of missiles had also flew out of the launcher, after completing the guided second batch of missiles, the third batch of missiles had passed by the missiles flying in the other side!
"Prepare the bait launching device, prepare the artillery on the left." Talar said.
In addition to using air defense missiles to intercept, the final method is to launch a bait interference device and intercept it with a short-range rapid-fire gun. On the Aibuha, four 40mm-caliber dual-mounted BRAD guns were equipped.
Two silkworm missiles were still flying smoothly. They didn't know that their brother had been bombed into the water. They only knew that they were aiming at their targets!
Just four kilometers away from the Aibuha, one of the silkworm missiles was accurately intercepted by the Sea Rattlesnake. They were blown into a fireball on the sea and could be seen clearly on the bridge.
Seeing the fireballs on the sea in the distance, the sailors on the surrounding tankers shouted excitedly, they didn't know that the threat had not been lifted.
After guiding the second batch of Sea Rattlesnake missiles, the fire control radar turned around and found that the third batch of intercepted missiles had flew over the target to be intercepted, and the silkworm missile had entered the final attack procedure!
The silkworm missile did not lose its target this time. It began to climb and then dive attack towards the pre-set target.
"Shot the bait bomb immediately." Taral ordered.
Suddenly, the Gaida mk2 bait launcher arranged in the middle began to launch platinum strips into the air, and ten tubes were fired in turn, forming a barrier made of platinum strips on the side of the Aibuha.//
The terminal guidance radar using a single-pulse system suddenly lost its target during this interference. Although the developer claimed that this missile has strong anti-interference ability, in fact, the anti-interference ability of this missile is very poor.
The silkworm missile lost its target!
At this time, it was less than one kilometer away from the Aibuha.
The dual-equipped 40mm caliber artillery on the Aibha is an Italian-made cannon that is mainly used for short-range defense. It uses the Dadu fire control system to control the sea-sweeping missiles flying from the end. It has a certain degree of destruction ability.
The last silkworm missile. After losing its target, it finally did not escape the attack of the 40mm caliber artillery. It exploded several hundred meters away from the Aibuha. The fragments flew over the head of the Aibuha. The terror of the debris flying over the bridge.
This interception by the Aibuha finally confirmed the ability of the Sea Rattlesnake to fight sea-grabbing missiles and the possibility of terminal artillery interception. Major General Talar was very happy. With this military achievements, it was no problem to be promoted to Lieutenant General after he returned. In the Saudi defense system, there are probably not many people who have really fought the war.
"Prepare the missile to reload again," said Taral.
The Sea Rattlesnake has eight missiles, four on the left and right sides of the guided radar. Six missiles have been used in the interception just now. If you come down, you have to lift the spare missile out of the ammunition storage device below the deck and install it in place.
Unexpectedly, before starting the action, I heard the nervous voice of the radar operator: "Three more missiles were found, with a distance of 60 kilometers!"
Taral suddenly felt that his eyes were dark. The Iranians really wanted their own lives!
There are only two missiles that can be launched on the Aibuha now, and the bait bombs have been used up and have not started to load them yet. The Iranians have actually launched missiles again!
After launching the first missile, the Iranians did not immediately move. They began to prepare for a quick second missile launch. When they were preparing during the day, they had already refueled the second missile and completed all the tests. So, after the first missile was launched, they sorted out the launch frame, hoisted the second missile, and then entered the launch accuracy again.
This is actually very dangerous. Liquid missiles can only be refueled before they are launched. Otherwise, the fuel will corrode the fuel tank and there will be a crisis during lifting.
However, the bold Iranians did it.
Is it necessary to reload the bullet first~~-< Shuhaige >-Net-Update the first launch~~Are you ready to intercept? Reload the bullet first, then there will be no time to launch it again, but if you intercept it first, you can only intercept one at most!
Intercepting with short-range artillery is just the last resort, and there is no 80% sure, let alone using artillery to kill two flying missiles at the same time.
what to do?
At this moment, good news finally came from the Badel in the rear: those electronic devices were finally repaired!
Iraqi technicians, with fearless spirit, finally repaired the antenna of the interference equipment, allowing the interference equipment to start working again.
The e-2 Hawkeye Early Warning Plane in the sky has been cruising for several hours and needs to return to the aircraft carrier.
They monitored the entire process. After the interference source of the escort formation disappeared, Iran immediately launched the missile. This was as expected. At first, the Iranians did not launch the missile because of the interference. Later, three missiles flew at the same time, which made them feel that this must be the moment of the formation's tragic arrival. Who knew that the Saudi Navy, which had never been very famous, successfully intercepted three missiles less than a few months ago! It seems that although French goods are more expensive, they can also be used.
However, they also know that because this time the intercept was just an old silkworm missile, this first-generation liquid anti-ship missile is large in size and powerful, and is accompanied by the disadvantages of poor maneuverability and backward electronic equipment.
If it is a new type of missile, a legal flying fish, and a American harpoon, it will maneuver in the final stage. With the double-barrel artillery at the end, the possibility of interception is almost zero.
Therefore, when the interference signal appears again, the e-2 early warning aircraft knows that there is nothing to notice. Their early warning aircraft has a small body and a small oil capacity, which can only provide a few hours of early warning time, so it must return to the aircraft carrier.
"Prepare to intercept missiles at any time," said Talar.
Since the interference equipment has been repaired, their mission is over, and there is no need to rush to reload again. The last two missiles are used for emergency response.
The silkworm missile was still flying at this time, and it didn't know that it was already in a strong source of electromagnetic interference.
When the silkworm missile reached the predetermined time, the missile-on-mounted radar turned on. At this time, it immediately discovered that it knew nothing. There was an electromagnetic signal in front of it, and its radar beam disappeared without a trace.
The silkworm missile knew that it had been disturbed, so it chose to climb. It reached a height of 300 meters and saw nothing. Then it climbed. It reached a height of 500 meters and still didn't see it!
The silkworm missile was completely miserable. It didn't know that it had actually flew over the target.
After continuing to fly for more than ten seconds, the silkworm missile finally chose to commit suicide and started a self-destruction program.
In the future war, without electromagnetic rights is a very tragic thing, and it will become deaf and blind.
On the sea, the action of small boats in the dark to beat the tanker was also shattered. Since three small boats surrounded the Tam, they nibbled on the stone and were hit by the soldiers of the Rattlesnake Special Forces above the tanker.
The small boat that overestimated its ability to siege the warship Bader was also sunk two of them and fled in a panic.
The rest of the squads fought each other, and only one of them was lucky. The rockets fired hit a tanker. Unfortunately, he hit the upper deck of the tanker and did not affect the structure of the lower layer, and the fire was put out.
The formation suffered this attack and became more vigilant. The Aibuha had loaded the new Sea Rattlesnake missile and had been searching for the sea surface. No Iranians were found to launch missiles again. Several missile boats were patrolling the formation left and right to prevent Iranian speedboats from attacking again.
When they sailed out of the Strait of Hormuz in fear and reached the Arabian sea, it was almost dawn.
This thrilling escort mission was over, but this was just the beginning.
After hearing the report sent back by the escort formation, Prince Sultan, who was in charge of this escort mission, immediately ordered the escort operation to temporarily stop and wait for the next instructions.
Although this time it was thrilling and there were no oil tankers attacks, it may not be the case next time.
There must be a more appropriate escort plan!
Prince Sultan rushed back to Riyadh, hoping to discuss countermeasures with the king.
As the sun was rising, Prince Sultan rushed back to the palace. When he walked into the palace, he saw someone who surprised him.
"His Excellency Kusai, why did you come to Saudi Arabia?"
"What, Your Highness, don't you welcome me?"
"No, very welcome, you are the hero of our entire Arab world, standing on the front line against Khomeini, who is against Iran," said Prince Sultan.
