324 Patriot interception failed. Flying shield misoperation
"Did you really see it?" the officer asked his soldiers.
The soldier nodded in a sure location.
"Woo~Woo~"
The air defense alarm was still ringing shrillly, and several Patriot air defense missiles continued to fly towards the southeast sky, and the empty launch boxes were launched and emergency filling began.
Even if everyone knows it, it's too late to fill it.
Lafata and others stared at the radar display nervously. Six high-speed red dots kept approaching the base quickly, and eight small green dots rushed towards the red dots at a faster speed from the direction of the base.
"You must intercept it! You must intercept it!"
Almost everyone held their breath.
My heart began to lift nervously.
The personnel from China are also nervous, which is a real practical test of the Feidun-59 system.
On the one hand, they hope that these Patriot missiles will intercept this batch of missiles to prevent the Feidun-59 from causing too serious losses to the base due to inability to intercept them; on the other hand, they do not want the Patriot defense system to intercept them, so that the Feidun-59 can be tested in actual combat to ensure that the interception function meets the settings.
Very tangled.
Two groups of dots of different colors kept approaching at high speed. Rafata's face had no expression. He clenched his fists tightly and prayed to Allah in his heart to intercept, at least half of them.
He has seen these missile systems in China intercepting them, and it is not possible to solve the problem with just one.
Often, three missiles flew to one target at the same time, so that the interception was successful.
But he also knew that the interception success rate of Patriot missiles was too poor, otherwise he would not have lost two sets before.
The flashing red dots and green dots are finally coming into contact.
In the combat command center, you can hear the needle dropping, and even the heavy breathing sounds are rarely heard.
The red dots and the green dots finally collided. In an instant, the two red dots disappeared, and four small red dots continued to fly towards this side.
"The interception failed!"
No, to be precise, the Patriot Defense System intercepted one-third of the missiles.
"Flying Shield Defense System Preparation! The target has ten seconds to enter the detection range!" Rafata issued the order again.
The Feidun-59 missile defense system, the radar it carries, has only a range of 0 kilometers, and the reaction time is too short.
Even cruise missiles used to deal with flight speeds have less than 90 seconds of reaction time from detection to target and then hit by targets, while tactical missiles with higher speeds have less than half of the reaction time.
The ballistic missiles entering the atmosphere from space have a reaction speed of only more than ten or twenty seconds.
"The system detection radar is too close, and the startup time is too long..." Chinese technicians quickly recorded it on the working notebook they carried with them when Saudi soldiers were afraid to leave. "It is used for faster targets, and the reaction time is too short..."
"Flying Shield is ready, the target is three seconds left!" Lafata kept reporting the target to the operators and soldiers of the flying shield system outside.
He could only pray that Allah would bless them.
This missile defense system in China is not even very familiar with the officers and soldiers for the first time. Fortunately, the technical instructors from China have to tossed their seeds several times a day, and they always say that it is not an exercise or something...
"Boss, it's really not an exercise!"
Inside a flying shield-59, the officer, as the commander of the chariot, was still alive, and he didn't even stare at the radar display nervously. The information officer reminded the commander of the chariot.
The radar on the top of the defense system is running wildly.
The three groups of missile launchers have pointed to the sky and are ready to launch.
"Do they have a target aircraft for us to shoot targets? What we need to intercept is missiles! Not fighter aircraft!" The captain said as soon as he said, and then his mouth widened.
"Drip!Drip!Drip..."
"Warning! Discover the target! Discover the target! Discover the target! Please select the target!"
Four jumping red dots suddenly appeared on the display screen, and bright red flashed constantly on the display screen. Even the alarm lights in the internal cabin began to flash. The rapid "drip" sound made everyone nervous.
"Damn it! The more you get, the more you get, the more real it is!" The captain didn't believe it at all. "Those Chinese people have been training their soldiers like this and keep their guard on their guard, so are Colonel Lafata..."
The commander didn't expect that this was not the exercise that the instructors would do to them every day.
Although this time was realistic, he felt that there was no way to attack.
There are not many missiles in South Yemen. Five of them were launched some time ago, destroying their three Patriot missile defense systems.
Where can it be so fast?
"Chief, the radar has been locked. Please launch a missile to intercept the target!" The information officer reminded his superiors.
You can still be distracted at this time!
"We have to respond to the Chinese. It is best if the system locks the target in the future and launches automatically. We have to let us do it ourselves!" The commander complained, but did not choose the target, and directly pressed the launch button.
"Chief, you..." Seeing this, the information officer was stunned.
Didn’t you mean you should choose the target before launching?
The Chinese instructor said it very clearly that the system radar can track 12 targets at the same time, but can only attack one target at a time.
If more than three targets are exceeded, a new missile will be launched after the first round of launch is over.
There are four goals in the sky...
The commander didn't care so much, he kept slapping the buttons...
The Feidun-59 launched the missile almost immediately. When the captain pressed the launch button for the first time, the red dot on the radar display was framed by a cross-× red frame, and the coordinates were transferred to the launch frame at the top through the circuit.
About two seconds after pressing the launch button, a Fortune-2 air defense missile popped up on the top three launchers at the same time. The missile was several meters away from the launcher. The tail engine ignited, spewing out a blazing flame and flew quickly towards the sky.
"Which bastard did this? It has not yet entered the missile range!"
Lafata was anxious and found that there were three extra green dots on the radar screen at one time and rushed towards the sky. The red target was facing it, and he was furious.
Don't obey orders!
"Col...”
The officer in front of the radar display looked at the flying shield-59, which launched the missile first, and kept firing the missiles towards the target in the sky. The other vehicles had not moved yet, so I don't know what to do.
Even Rafata didn't know whether it was ordering other Feidun-59s to launch missiles or ordering them to continue to standby.
The 12 Red Flag-2 air defense missiles were all launched into the sky in less than 8 seconds.
At this time, bright spots of light appeared in the distant sky, carrying a faint roar and a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and the commanders of other flying shield systems were still stunned.
Previously, three missiles were launched, and the other three Fei Shield-59s all captured these three targets.
The captains of several flying shield systems almost pressed down, but did not receive the order.
After this hesitation, the Fei Shin-59, which first launched the missile, launched almost all of the missiles.
"Chief, we..." The information officer of a Feidun-59 was almost crying.
At present, there are a bunch of targets on the radar, and their hesitation makes it even harder to lock the target.
The radar keeps calling the alarm, and if it is late, it will not be able to lock the target, but the superiors have no commands.
"When it's over, call that bastard here!" Rafata was so angry that the Chinese side told them clearly that their missiles were locked and launched when they were still far from the target and would not attack their missiles.
If there is a missile in the air that has not locked the enemy's target before, then this matter...
"Wang, can a system defend against 4 missiles?" Rafata could only ask the Chinese person in charge.
Chinese head Wang Chengju never thought that such a thing would happen. Originally, several systems had been working together, but such a thing...
"It should be possible..." Wang Chengju couldn't answer.
The missiles in the sky are very fast.
On the radar, we have already contacted each other, and even holding a telescope can see the missiles flying rapidly in the sky.
Rafata couldn't give the order, and at this time, he was already hating the damn messing officer in his heart!
He will make the other party regret coming to this world.
Holding a telescope, looking at the sky standing at the window and looking at the southeast.
The first batch of three missiles flew side by side towards the target in the sky.
The first avant-2 air defense missile launched was exhausted, and it was more than 20 meters away from the locked Scud missile. The fuel exhaustion triggered a self-destruction device inside the missile.
"Boom~"
The warhead exploded, and countless small shrapnel scattered in the impact of the explosive air waves.
The Scud missile encountered avant-garde explosion air wave, and its flight trajectory did not change at all. It passed through the area formed by shrapnel and rushed towards the target without hesitation.
Rafata, holding the telescope, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
Wang Chengju, who was also holding a telescope next to him, said to his assistant with a calm expression, "Record, the power of the fragments is too small to effectively put enough pressure on the large missile to detonate the warhead..."
And at a distance of more than a hundred meters away, a Fortune-2, with an arm as thick as an attack, hit the Scud missile flying at high speed.
"boom!"
A bright ball of light exploded and a Scud missile was detonated.
The three missiles that were not intercepted were still approaching the target quickly.
"Intercept! Hurry up, launch missiles to intercept!" Lafata jumped up in a hurry, roaring and commanding, speaking quickly and urgently.
There is also a flying shield that did not launch any missiles. At this time, the Scud missile had crossed the optimal launch distance of 5 kilometers from the target.
"Boom~"
Another bright fireball exploded in the sky.
The second batch of air defense missiles have encountered the intercepting target. The missile that had not been intercepted at the beginning was hit by two air defense missiles at the same time and exploded in the sky...
"Boom~Boom~"
The remaining two missiles were hit one after another in almost a short time...
Chapter completed!
