Chapter 958 Ground-to-air anti-radiation missiles
Suddenly, there was a loud "boom!" and the two of them were shocked. Then, on the dashboard in front, a red alarm light began to flash.
The right engine failed, the hydraulic operating system failed, the emergency power supply system failed... This plane is probably no longer saved.
The pilot on the left was preparing to troll the self-destruct switch on the plane to prevent this precious electronic warfare aircraft from falling on the enemy's land. Unexpectedly, the jammer operator on the right had already pulled the ejection lever.
Oops! This terrible jammer operator! Tom wishes he could kill him.
Unlike other fighter jets, ordinary fighter jets have ejected seats, pulling the red lever in the middle, and the seats are pushed open the canopy cover that has been shot with four holes and ejected out by rockets. The two-person planes must have ejected one after another.
However, the difference between f-111 is that it is ejected as a whole, not just the seat, but the entire cockpit will be ejected out with a bang, so that the members can be protected to the maximum extent. If it is at sea, this cockpit will also become a temporary residence for pilots, floating on the water, waiting for rescue.
So, the people on the right pulled, and the two left the plane together with the cockpit. They watched the plane fall down with fire.
Hopefully it will completely fall to pieces on the ground, Tom thought, otherwise, the technology of this jammer would leak out.
In fact, another jammer operator had long thought of the self-destruct switch, but he did not press it because he was not sure whether they could eject it smoothly after pressing the self-destruct switch. If they did not explode after a few seconds as stated in the manual, but exploded immediately, then wouldn't they die unfairly? He heard from a pilot of the u-2.
After the jammer was removed, all the radars on the ground were turned on immediately, and the Sam-6 missiles and the Rattlesnake missiles were aimed at the planes in the sky.
Without electronic interference, this is their world!
Moreover, all the planes coming here are F-111 bombers, and they do not carry anti-radiation missiles.
On the crawler chassis, there are six-company missile launchers, three on the side, and the middle is a guided radar. This type of missile with the same name as the US air-to-air missile is a famous French maneuver, all-weather, low-altitude short-range air defense missile. Its purpose is mainly to attack low-altitude, ultra-low-altitude fighter jets, armed helicopters, etc., that is, it is the strong enemy of the ultra-low-altitude penetration F-111!
In later generations, this missile was also famous and was transplanted onto a ship, named the Sea Rattlesnake, and was exported to the Eastern Powers and became an emergency main ship and air equipment.
Moreover, this missile is not afraid of comprehensive electromagnetic interference. In the case of complex electromagnetic interference, the fire control radar cannot guide it. It can also use television guidance or infrared guidance.
Such missile regiments were scattered on a position about fifty kilometers west of the Aziziye Barracks. They had only one mission, which was to ambush the invading American bombers!
Just after the electronic jammer was knocked out, the entire attack formation immediately realized that what was waiting for them was a huge conspiracy. The formation command immediately decided to give up the bombing mission, leave here first, wait for the navy's attack aircraft carrying anti-radiation missiles to come, and then carry out the bombing mission!
All the Air Force came from bombers, and they did not carry anti-radiation missiles.
However, it is too late now because they have flown into the range of the missile positions below.
For these American imperialist planes flying over, they were not stingy with their own missiles, and almost at the same time, several launch vehicles aimed at one plane.
"Bang!" The cover in front of the launcher was bounced open, and a missile flew out from inside, dragging the tongue of fire and flew into the sky.
Rattlesnake surface-to-air missiles do not place the missile on the launch frame, but use a packaged launch cylinder, which can reduce the external impact and does not require maintenance during the entire life span.
This night, the fireworks were gorgeous.
At the same time, anti-radiation missiles in other places also began their own attacks.
As the interference sources were reduced, the Sam-5 missile company, which had been hiding in Zaviye and Beda, also began their operations.
The radar is turned on and the target is locked!
Although they also installed the anti-radiation seeker on the Sam-5 missile, the range is too long after all. The Sam-6 missile only has a range of dozens of kilometers, and the seeker can directly intercept the target. However, the Sam-5 has a range of 250 kilometers. At this distance, the seeker cannot accurately capture the target, so the ground radar is still needed in the front part of the flight.
As long as they fly within dozens of kilometers under the guidance of the radar and let the seeker intercept the target, their final target will be shot down.
e-2c Hawkeye Early Warning Machine!
Sam-5 is an air defense missile. As long as it is there, it can become an offensive weapon! An early warning aircraft to attack the opponent!
At this time, on the decks of two aircraft carriers on the Mediterranean, they were extremely busy.
In order to do their best to strike, they fired more than fifty anti-radiation missiles in the first wave of attacks to suppress Libya's air defense system. They originally thought that they had achieved the predetermined target, and with their own jammers, even if the other side had air defense missiles, they would not be able to play a role.
However, I didn't expect that many of the first strikes were fake targets. The opponent's air defense system still had strong combat power. More importantly, the one-sided jammer was the first to be attacked.
Until now, they have not discovered that Libya uses surface-to-air anti-radiation missiles.
Because, now, no country has creatively installed surface-to-air missiles with anti-radiation seekers.
Because, generally speaking, anti-radiation missiles are designed to strike the opponent's ground radar, and are modified by air-to-air or air-to-ground missiles to strike radar targets on the ground from the sky. This is also related to the tactics of the US military. No country will suppress the US Air Force to bomb US stations and use early warning aircraft. Therefore, there is no such thing in the US military's equipment library.
