Chapter 764 Meteor-2
Later military strategists analyzed that the US Captain was too concentrated, which led to this major casualties. They should be dispersed. Faced with ballistic missiles, this is the most suitable choice!
However, you must know that the army must be united to form a powerful force. If it is always dispersed and arranged, it will not be the army, but the guerrillas!
What's more, in order to deal with the threat of ballistic missiles, the United States has vigorously developed the Patriot air defense missile system. Now, there are six Patriot missile battalions that accompany the entire army!
In addition to these, there are several Burke-class Aegis warships that have already swam to the outside of Abbas Port. The standard-2 air defense missiles are equipped with the ability to intercept ballistic missiles.
In later generations, the Americans began to develop the Block4a type with intercepting ballistic missile capabilities in 1993. It evolved from the standard-2-block4 extended range type. It was made by adding boosters based on the standard-2. It has a maximum range of 185 kilometers and a maximum firing height of 24,000 meters. It is used for fleet area air defense; while the Block4a type uses the block4 bullet body, and the guidance device is replaced with a dual-mode radio frequency/infrared rp/ir detector, which further improves the missile's sensitivity and anti-interference ability; at the same time, it improves the autonomous driving/control system and the improved crack warhead. In 1997, the US Navy conducted the first interception test.
Now, facing the severe threat of ballistic missiles, the US Navy is also developing rapidly on its Aegis system. Last year, it conducted a test of the Standard-2 air defense missile intercepting ballistic missile, which achieved a complete success and became the main combat theater anti-missile system of the Navy.
With nearly ten sets of interception systems, the machine is turned on alternately. Even if the other party uses electromagnetic pulse warheads again, it can ensure sufficient launch channels. Even if they only shoot a hundred ballistic missiles, the Americans can successfully deal with it!
On technology, the United States is always the most powerful!
Moreover, in the face of Iran's ballistic missile attacks, the United States had already responded. Last year, when it was first attacked by the Iranians, the United States used land-based bombers and Shanghai-based Tomahawk missiles to destroy Iran's ballistic missile production plants and weakened the Iranians' war potential.
Now, when the battle started again, while the US military advanced rapidly in the southeast, the fighter jets of the United States and other NATO countries have begun to continue bombing, weakening Iran's war potential. Those factories are destroyed and they lose their ability to produce ballistic missiles. How many ballistic missiles have the Iranians stored? How many can they throw in the direction of Abbas?
After analysis by the US staff, it was believed that the US military was now safe to rest in Port Abbas. However, they did not expect that the danger would still come unexpectedly.
For this war, the United States launched more military satellites. At this time, an early warning satellite of ballistic missiles in outer space discovered infrared radiation in central Iran, which was a sign of ballistic missile ignition!
The Iranians launched a new ballistic missile attack! Early warning satellites quickly forwarded intelligence through synchronous satellites to commands in the Pacific and the United States, and the command quickly solved the problem. The launch targets of these ballistic missiles were quickly calculated.
Port Abbas! The range has exceeded 700 kilometers, and it is the Iranian Meteor-2 ballistic missile! The number is 60!
In the rising flames, ballistic missiles were launched one after another. This kind of launch scene was so spectacular!
Sixty Meteor-2 ballistic missiles! Although it cannot gather more than 100 ballistic missiles from the Iraqis at the time, the number is quite large, and some of them are special warheads developed by the Iranians!
The Americans began a large-scale attack. In the face of the attack, the Iranians' attitude was to drive the Americans away!
In terms of specific tactics, we must apply it flexibly. In order to create good opportunities, the Iranians voluntarily withdrew from the Port of Abbas. Now, the opportunity to wait for has finally arrived!
The sword has taken action, it depends on how the Americans take action!
Due to maneuvering propulsion, the Americans' huge paving claw radar could not follow, and only two mobile long-range early warning radars continued to turn on, capturing the traces of ballistic missiles coming from afar.
Six Patriot missile battalions, four battalions of phased array radars are turned on, ready to capture the first batch of targets, leaving two Patriot missile battalions for backup to prevent being taken from being taken by electromagnetic pulse bombs.
At the same time, the Aegis warship and Aegis system on the outside of the port are also being turned on, and both sides of the four-sided phased array radar radiate countless electromagnetic waves to the north.
Since the data links between the Navy and the Army are still unable to be connected at this time, the target allocation cannot be performed. The Navy's Aegis system is mainly used to supplement. If the Patriot missile is not completely intercepted, the Standard-2 missile will be replenished.
The missiles in the sky flew over quickly and entered the atmosphere, and then increased to Mach 6. At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than fifty kilometers.
"Start!" With the order of the battalion commander of the air defense missile battalion, the operator pressed his index finger to the launch button, and according to the unified allocation of the air defense system, in the four-unit box-type launcher, one by one, pac-2 missiles dragged the tongue of fire and flew into the distant sky.
A sharp alarm sounded throughout Abbas Harbor, and the American soldiers in their sleep woke up suddenly.
Damn it, I won’t let my sleep be stable! The American soldiers got scared and ran out hurriedly.
During the day, the tanks were scattered on the streets, and now, with the sudden attack of ballistic missiles, the Americans were in a mess.
Getting up from the carpet, the third-class sergeant, Short, quickly climbed into the tank. As the button was pressed, the gas turbine driven by compressed air roared and started immediately.
Why does the US Army love gas turbines? Although this thing is a monster that drinks oil and is a huge burden on logistics support, it has many advantages. For example, it starts quickly. Whether it is the severe cold of minus 40 degrees Celsius or the high temperature of 60 degrees Celsius, you can start quickly by pressing the start button. Moreover, you don’t need to warm up the car and output the maximum power in a few seconds. When operating, you don’t have to worry about shutting down due to dragging.
However, when he caught fire, he didn't know where he was going. There were cars all around him and there was no room for him to move.
At this time, the commander James behind him also ran up and turned on the radio.
"Note that, the air strike alarm, a batch of Meteor-2 missiles are flying in. It is expected to arrive in three minutes. Be careful to find cover to avoid it!" The command of the headquarters was constantly playing in the radio.
It was a ballistic missile attack! Looking for cover to hide! Damn, Iranian houses are everywhere here, where can I find cover to hide? James jumped out of the car and looked around. Finally, he found a small building not far away, which should be a reinforced concrete structure.
Some people also chose to stay in the tank. As long as they are not hit directly, the tank armor can still block the debris.
Moreover, maybe this is just a false alarm. We have deployed so many Patriot missiles, and we may be able to intercept them all!
James sat in the tank, the hatch was still open, and you could see the dark night sky, like fireworks, Patriot missiles were launched into the air.
At the most tense moment, the US air defense missile forces were still worried, although they were mainly computer controls. Can they intercept this time?
Two Patriot missiles flew towards a target. When they were five meters away from the target, the close-explosion warhead exploded, and the splashed broken pole met the warhead of Mach Six. In an instant, a fireball appeared.
A target disappears from the radar screen and accurately intercepts one!
It seems that the command center is a little overconfident. The Iranians are not Iraq. They can buy electromagnetic pulse bomb warheads from the Soviet Union. The Iranians offend people everywhere and are self-reliant in everything. Just make an ordinary high-explosive warhead. That kind of advanced warhead is definitely not produced.
Thinking about it, the operator saw that the intersection of the two trajectories had passed, and the target still did not disappear.
Damn it, the interception failed! Hurry up, notify the Navy to make a replacement shot and intercept!
Several Aegis warships docked outside Abbas Port also began to set off fireworks. The MK41 launch device was filled with flames, and the Standard-2 missiles were dragging their tongues of fire and flew out. The smoke covered the entire warship and soon there was no sight.
Four Patriot missile battalions fired 120 missiles, but only intercepted half of the targets. This is an improved system! The Navy expressed sneering at such an interception rate, and at the same time, the Navy's standard missiles have begun to be re-launched.
Sixty standard-2 missiles were launched from four Aegis battleships and flew to thirty targets. For the Aegis system with anti-saturation attack capabilities, it was completely handled.
More than one ton of Standard-2 missiles fly quickly in the sky, have close contact with the target, and then release brilliant flowers in the air.
The US Captain in Abbas Port has forgotten his fear at this time. The sky is full of brilliant fireworks, and its air defense missiles are constantly intercepting the flying ballistic missiles!
The tragedy of Dhahran would not happen again, and the same result would definitely not happen!
Americans are full of confidence, and some people have even left the temporary unreliable air defense bunker and ran to the street to watch.
The joke is that the special reinforced bunker is smashed by the target of Mach falling from the sky, not to mention the buildings in the Abbas city that are now in a hurry to find. Since it is useless, it is better to come out and watch the fun.
Tonight, the stars are so brilliant, and the stars are dotted. (To be continued.)
