1506 F-117 pilots should save taxpayers money(1/2)
"Drip!Drip!Drip..."
The rushing alarm was still ringing wildly, and Lieutenant Colonel Ross Mike was shocked when he saw the alarm device on the display.
"Shoot, is it malfunctioning?"
Even though he suspected that it might be a fighter system failure, he still did not dare to be careless at all.
The alarm sounded when the fighter was locked by a missile on the display screen. At the same time, the infrared alarm device that detects the missile's tail flame was also urgently calling the pilot, warning the missile to approach at high speed.
Three missiles are approaching at high speed, with a speed of Mach 2.35.
It is much higher than the maximum speed that the f-117 can show.
When designing the f-117, it sacrificed a lot for stealth performance.
Whether in pneumatic layout, power systems, or even stealth coatings, many defects have been caused by lack of experience.
Therefore, the expensive F-117 has great hopes for the Air Force. The US Air Force has better pride in air-to-air fighter jets than air-to-ground fighter jets. Even pilots believe that the flight-to-ground attack aircraft is not a real pilot...
The f-117 happens to be a ground attack aircraft.
This was not encountered before during ground detection and testing.
The US radar cannot be detected, and the Soviet radar cannot be detected...
Now it has been discovered by ground radar!
Missiles were also launched!
"avoid!"
I don’t bother to think too much, and if I don’t avoid it, I will only be hit.
Lieutenant Colonel Ross Mike didn't bother to think too much and began to manipulate the F-117 to avoid the attacking missiles.
The f-117 is just a stealth attack aircraft. As a new generation of stealth attack aircraft, it adopts a fly-by-wire control system and the flight attitude control system is very advanced. As long as the pilot makes an action, the fighter can react immediately.
This is much more responsive than the previous control system.
For a time, the F-117, locked by three missiles, continued to make various maneuvering actions, like a ghost in the dark air.
The two wingmen next to them were also aimed by missiles.
"Ross, the missile behind you is too close, put the bait bombs quickly..."
"Thomas, your side..."
Several pilots reminded each other of the missiles behind them to ask why they were discovered.
Why was discovered?
They don't have time to study such problems.
“Climb!”
After the other f-117s dropped bombs, they also discovered problems. The ground air defense firepower was fully opened, and large areas of missiles were intensively launched, making it difficult to resist.
"I haven't beaten it yet? Keep fighting for mine!"
Commander Fallujah Muhammod won the prize and looked at the target on the radar display, and could not find the enemy's fighter tracks.
In Fallujah, all 12 flying shield-359s were running wildly, constantly launching short-range air defense missiles.
But these missiles have been launched so far, but none of them have hit the target.
"General, long-range air defense radar cannot detect enemy aircraft, and even the Flying Shield-359 is difficult to lock. The enemy's fighter aircraft appear and disappear on the radar..."
Feidun-359 Commander Colonel Camorado looked helpless.
Some of their long-range early warning radar stations have been blown up, and even two missile launch bases are blown up next to them.
"Let the missile base launch positions connect the surrounding Feihan-359, and let Feihan-359 automatically control the launch of these missiles!"
Lieutenant General Muhammad made a decision soon.
"Lieutenant General, is this not appropriate? Although Feidun-359 has such a function, even the R&D unit has never studied this aspect..."
Regarding the lieutenant general's brains, Colonel Camorado, who commanded the Feidun-359 defense system, thought it was too weird.
Here they are the most advanced and powerful air defense radar station in Iraq.
The long-range early warning radar and other various command systems were unable to command their air defense positions to open fire. The commander actually asked a small air defense system with an early warning range of only more than 20 kilometers to command the entire air defense base!
"Fei Shield-359 has a data link, and these defense systems have been connected, so it can completely command other missile positions to launch missiles..."
For functions like Feidun-359, they were also discovered by the base during normal training.
These data links were originally used to link with remote early warning radars, improve reaction time, and prepare for air defense in advance.
Now the long-range early warning radar cannot detect enemy aircraft traces, but the small radar equipped with Feidun-359 can be found, which can reversely control the missile launch positions around the entire control system through the command center related to the long-range early warning radar.
"this……"
"Hurry up, don't let these enemies escape! If you dare to blow us up, you must make them pay the price!"
Muhammaud's order is not negotiable at all.
Under the command of the commander, 12 Feidun-359 distributed throughout Fallujah, which had been connected to the data link, were quickly fed back the target to the command center, and then the supercomputer of the command center was used to assign combat tasks to various air defense units arranged around Fallujah.
Originally, Feidun-359 was arranged near the air defense command center, and it is also a radar base station.
Before, these small air defense systems were already connected.
A flying shield-359 has been connected to the control center of a Sam-2 missile launch base next to it.
Originally, the commander provided the Feidun-359 early warning target through Sam-2's radar and command system, but now the commander in turn asked to hand over the control system of the missile launch base to Feidun-359.
At first they were not happy, but the radar was as if it was broken and there was no trace of the air strike base fighter jets.
The commander had an order, and Lieutenant Colonel Mara Goby, the commander of the air defense position, dared not disobey it.
Soon, the control of the missile fired in his hand was handed over to Feidun-359 next to him.
The system built by the French helps to have the function of automatically firing.
At the moment of connection, the F-117 was trying to track the occasionally looming F-117 in the sky, and continuously launched air defense missiles. As these fighters were about to fly out of the range of the Avant-1 air defense missile, the Feidun-359 was unable to stop launching the missile.
"Start Sam-2 air defense missile immediately!"
The commander inside Fei Shield-359, who was feeling powerless, was instantly surprised.
Sam-2 air defense missile, with a maximum firing height of 30 kilometers and a maximum firing range of 50 kilometers...
This thing is much longer than the avant-garde individual air defense missile equipped with Feidun-359.
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
The Sam-2 air defense missile position, which had no target at all, started to move instantly.
The Feidun-359 is still like launching missiles on its own defense system, regardless of whether Sam-2 is a medium- and long-range air defense missile, and its cost is much more expensive than a small missile like avant-garde.
In order to increase the hit range, each target directly controls three consecutive shots to chase the target.
Sam-2, the warhead weighs 195 kilograms, and it is equipped with 135 kilograms of explosives. It has a low-altitude killing radius of 65 meters, a high-altitude killing radius of 250 meters, and an average accuracy of 75 meters. The probability of hitting a single shot is 70%, and the probability of hitting a three-shot continuous shot is more than 95%...
The entire Sam-2 missile launch position is composed of several sets of radars of different purposes, early warning/search radar, altimeter radar, indication/tracking guidance radar, guidance radar distance, etc.
The reaction speed is slow and the launch preparation time is high.
Since the target can be searched 275 kilometers away, it is not a problem to require a lot of launch preparation time.
Now the enemy planes are within a range of ten kilometers. Timely searching for radar can detect it, and tracking radar can track it, but it cannot be solved.
The radar on Feidun-359 combines all these functions and uses a more advanced chipset, which has fast computing speed and fast response, just making up for the shortcomings of the Sam-2 fire control system.
As soon as they were connected, Sam-2 on the entire position began to move. In less than 5 seconds, it was controlled by the fire control system of Feidun-359...
"this……"
The commander of the missile launch position was stunned when he saw that all the missiles on his launch vehicle were launched.
This is so damn...
In the air, the f-117 flexibly dodges avant-garde air defense missiles. Although the missile has good functions, it is in infrared guidance mode and the missile is relatively small, and the computer team in the guidance part is not strong. It does not have the functions of the later developments that can be guided by the ground launch system, modify the target parameters and trajectory, etc. Therefore, although the number of launches is large, it can only explode in the air after the target flies out of its range.
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
Without catching up with the target, the limit range was reached again, and the avant-garde air defense missiles continued to explode in the air.
The warhead, which is too far away and is not big, cannot threaten f-117 at all.
"Leaving here, these missiles have a range of less than 10 kilometers..."
Lieutenant Colonel Ross Mike soon discovered the inadequacy of chasing their missiles.
These missiles launched too many, which really made all the F-117 pilots busy at the beginning.
Fortunately, they are all experienced pilots. After the initial panic, they soon discovered the problem.
Besides, there is also a reminder from the commander.
Although the F-117, which uses a telex control system, has a speed that is not as fast as avant-garde air defense missile, and the maximum overload is only 6g. It can be better than the advanced detection radar equipped on the fighter jet, which can be avoided in advance and can be easily dealt with.
"Remember these firepower points, don't get close to the 5-kilometer range, find an opportunity to continue knocking down the target!" Ross Mike was unwilling to be unable to achieve the target.
To be continued...
