Chapter 820 Anti-Ship Missile Formation
For the Americans, the aircraft carrier formation is their pride and a symbol of their country. If the American aircraft carrier is sunk in a naval battle, it is absolutely intolerable to the United States and will never stop. Therefore, although Pakistan had the ability to attack the US aircraft carrier formation last time, it did not launch an attack on them, but only attacked the US aircraft carrier aircraft.
Now, since the Americans are willing to use strategic stealth bombers to attack Pakistan's aircraft carrier formation, Pakistan will never be polite!
On the deck, in the hangar, the preparations before the battle were carried out in a tense and orderly manner. Last time it was air-optimized, and more than a dozen racks were medium-range and long-range active sky flashes, as well as short-range R-73s. Now, the number of active sky flashes has been reduced. Each fighter has mounted two Eagle Strike 91 supersonic missiles, some are anti-radiation models, specially used to fight the American Aegis warships, and some are anti-ship models, used to teach American naval warships a lifelong lesson.
Pakistan's arms construction has been targeting the threat of the world's most powerful countries in recent years. The more advanced supersonic anti-ship missile with a range of more than 500 kilometers is still under trial production. Now they only have this mature air-to-ship heavy missile to use. At high altitude, the range of this missile is more than 200 kilometers.
The US air defense circle was originally an aircraft carrier formation of more than 500 kilometers, but since many Hornet fighters were shot down in the last air battle, they didn't have time to arrange more carrier-based aircraft, so their aircraft carrier's combat effectiveness has almost been consumed.
With the air defense capabilities of their Aegis warships, they can give the fleet a protective circle of up to 100 kilometers.
Just as the navy began to prepare, a formation of the latest stealth fighter jets from the air base in southern India had been dispatched in advance.
If you want to bring a devastating blow to the US Navy quietly, the first thing you need to get rid of is their early warning aircraft! This is an important figure in stealth fighter aircraft!
The US F-22 has not yet been in service. In the sky now, Pakistan's stealth fighter is the most powerful existence!
At this time, the US naval formation had retreated to the waters near Digo Garcia Island and was preparing to enter the island for repair. The distance was already beyond the attack radius of Pakistan's stealth cats, so when returning, they had to refuel in the air.
Just as Pakistan's attack was unfolding in an orderly manner, the e-2 early warning aircraft discovered missiles on the sea 600 kilometers south of the formation, cruising one by one.
The number is hundreds!
Damn it!
Since the search distance of the e-2 early warning aircraft is limited after all, and the carrier-based meter wave radar does not have an unlimited search radius, the American b-52 bomber, the bomber that took off from Digo Garcia Island, still launched the Tomahawk missile from a distance, and then turned around and ran back.
Some of these bombers were equipped with Tomahawk missiles and some were equipped with Harpoon missiles. Originally, the Tomahawk missiles were quickly improved and the attack effect was quite average. Harpoon missiles were the main force of the attack. According to the American plan, after the stealth anti-ship missiles launched by the B-2 bomber killed most of Pakistan's warships, these B-52 bombers mainly launched Harpoon missiles. Destroy the remaining targets and strive to completely reimburse the main force of the Pakistani Navy under two wave strikes.
As a result, the B-2's attack did not work. These b-52 bombers without any self-defense capabilities were even less likely to be close to the sky of two or three hundred kilometers of the aircraft carrier formation. They would simply become a living target for Pakistan's carrier-based aircraft. They would launch the long-range Tomahawk missiles they brought from afar, and they immediately returned.
Now, these more than 100 Tomahawk missiles are flying smoothly according to the preset navigation trajectory.
After receiving the news of the early warning aircraft, Lieutenant General Norman's face became serious.
I really didn't expect that Americans would still have to play like this!
Our carrier-based aircraft has already started to carry anti-ship missiles. If they are brought to intercept with anti-ship missiles, the aircraft will become very heavy and it is difficult to attack. However, it will be a waste of time if the anti-ship missile is unloaded.
If the carrier-based aircraft directly attack the American aircraft carrier formation, leaving behind the flying missiles and completely handed over to its own air defense firepower to solve the problem, it seems a bit too much. One missile that avoids the air defense firepower and drills into it will pose a threat to its own fleet ships. After all, this time there are too many, hundreds!
If the Tomcat fighter jets are dispatched and fifty are intercepted first, the pressure on the air defense system will be greatly reduced.
The tactic of saturation attack was originally a tactic invented by the Soviets to deal with American aircraft carriers. Who would have thought that now Americans actually use this tactic to deal with Pakistan!
Did the Americans move out all the missiles in their arsenal?
Major General Hussein, the captain of the Ultimate, was also frowning at this time. This was indeed a difficult problem. Although the missiles were still more than 500 kilometers away, the time left for them was limited and they had to make a decision earlier.
"I have a way." At this moment, Flight Wing Captain Rick said: "I'll go and solve these missiles, and just give me a Roaring Cat. Our aircraft carrier formation will immediately sail to the west at full speed and leave our current sea area."
"Rick, you can't underestimate these missiles," Hussein said.
"Of course it's not underestimating." Rick said: "These missiles are flying at a very low altitude now, and the American satellites are almost ineffective. Therefore, the missiles flying in the Americans must be guided by the missiles. When they fly in, in order to determine our location, there will definitely be a guided missile to climb to a high altitude and search for our formation. I just need to kill the guided missiles and then use jammers to interfere with their data communication. We can make these missiles explode because they cannot find our location."
Rick's words made everyone's eyes shine, this is a simple solution!
The fighter jets that Rick was flying were originally intended to escort the attack formation, but did not carry anti-ship missiles. Rick, who was wearing a pilot costume, climbed into the cockpit and took off in a ********* overload.
Another modified Roaring Cat, as an electronic warplane, specifically interferes with the data link communication between the incoming missiles.
At the same time, the entire formation started to move towards the west at full speed. The missiles were flying at subsonic speeds, with a distance of 600 kilometers and it would take at least half an hour to arrive. Within this half hour, the entire formation had been transferred to another sea area.
After taking off, Rick and Roaring Cat sprinted at an altitude of 8,000 meters. After more than ten minutes, they met the flying missiles on a narrow road.
At this time, these missiles seemed to be a formation, flying in a vast sea, like the bomber formations during World War II. With the American electronic technology level, these missiles were organized and had a leader.
Roaring cat monitored the data transmission of these missiles. The American link4 data link had a very narrow frequency width. The electronic equipment on the monitoring aircraft was running at high speed, and finally locked a missile in the middle of the leader.
"Asazel, the target location has been sent." The roaring cat's back cabin operator called.
On the screen in front of Rick's back seat, the target's highlight appeared. The two aircraft passed the data link and Roaring Cat sent the locked data to Rick's fighter plane.
"Received, prepare to attack!" Rick replied.
Diving down from the sky, Rick did not use the missile. The artillery shells fired from the air cannons and instantly destroyed the missile.
At this time, the east sky was slowly shining.
Before he was ready to return, the roaring cat pilot suddenly continued to call: "Asazel, I found the backup guided missile!"
These missiles are guided according to fixed procedures and are uniformly guided by a missile. After the missile is shot down, the second missile will automatically take over the guidance rights.
Moreover, as the distance approaches, the missile does not continue to fly at low altitude, but starts to raise the altitude and fly into the air of one thousand meters. Then, it can use the sea-based search radar loaded at the front of the missile to discover the aircraft carrier formation on the sea surface!
Rick continued to use the cannon to kill the climbing missile, but later, the third guided missile rose again!
Rick couldn't help but secretly called out in his heart that if these hundred missiles had the ability to take on the mission of guiding the missile, he would not be able to destroy all of these missiles no matter what!
At this time, most of the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carriers behind were mounted on sea attacks, including the A-7 attack aircraft, which also carried two Eagle Strike-91 anti-ship missiles, and a huge fleet of aircraft embarked on the road to war.
Sweat appeared on Rick's forehead. He dreamt that the formation of these missiles of the Americans must have learned from the Soviets. The Soviets' ss-n-19 missile destroyer was set like this!
Damn, what should I do? Watching another missile rise and act as a guided missile, Rick knew that it would definitely not work if this continued.
"Roaring Cat, Roaring Cat, send the data back to the Tower of Tongtian." Rick shouted in the radio: "The Tower of Tongtian will definitely have a solution!"
The day before yesterday, an attack from Tongtian Tower paralyzed the US satellite system. Rick believes that the geniuses in Tongtian Tower must have a way to solve the problems in front of them.
Chapter completed!
