Babylonian Empire

After rushing to an altitude of 3000 meters, the two Su-27Ks each launched the two ultra-long-range missiles they carried. At this time, they were only 250 kilometers away from the American early warning plane.

In fact, in the formation of the attacking ships, two planes specialized in early warning aircraft appeared, and they fired missiles at a distance of more than 200 kilometers.

This time, the American early warning machine panicked.

The propeller engine was spinning rapidly, and the pilot had already fully opened the throttle, while lowering the altitude, performing an S-type maneuver flight, hoping to avoid this missile.Actually, they don't know, just turn off the radar.

This is an anti-radiation seeker, not an active radar seeker.Although the Soviets were in the final development stage, it was equipped with an active radar seeker, but after experiments in Iraq, the effect was not as good as the passive seeker.

The missile hit the body of the early warning plane, blasting a big hole, and the early warning plane wobbled and fell into the sea.

The aircraft carrier in the rear immediately continued to eject and take off new early warning planes. They had to keep the early warning planes in the air in order to be able to effectively monitor those fighter planes flying at ultra-low altitudes.

"The catapult is malfunctioning." The captain of the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk heard the voice depressingly, and at a critical moment, the chain fell off again.Moreover, this time it was not a failure of the slideway, but a failure of the high-pressure gas tank. It didn't take half an hour, and it was due to poor maintenance. At the same time, the four bomb launchers were all unusable.

The high-intensity bullets shot dozens of planes just now, making the mature missile launchers of the United States unable to support them. Of course, another reason is that the Kitty Hawk is old after all.

This did not happen to the USS Washington, and another early-warning aircraft that took off in an emergency ejection flew in a safe airspace.At the same time, continue to monitor those enemy planes.

However, there was a gap of 5 minutes in the middle.This 5-minute gap is Iraq's hope of victory.

because.At this time, the other Su-27Ks had already flown to a distance of 22 kilometers, and the Tu-[-]M bombers and the J-H-[-] fleet had also rushed to the battlefield at this time.

If the warning plane is still there, they must have discovered the new ultra-low-altitude aircraft group, and now, during this period of time, the Iraqi Air Force has already approached a dangerous distance.

The two Su-27K fighters that launched the missiles did not return.Instead, continue to climb, receive instructions from the early warning aircraft, and engage in air combat with American fighters. This is also the benefit of the Su 27K. This heavy fighter can be used as an air superiority fighter after throwing away the bulky missiles. , although it now only mounts two short-range missiles and two medium-range missiles, but.If you are lucky, you can still kill the opponent's two planes.

Just as the air battle was raging, ballistic missiles had already smashed down from the sky.After urgently carrying out a high-speed full left rudder, the captain of the Kitty Hawk still had lingering fears, and the warhead fell into the water.The splashed water column was more than 20 meters high, and the sound was aroused.It slapped on the hull, and it sounded terrifying.However, it also confirmed their judgment.

It is not so easy for this kind of ballistic missile to hit an aircraft carrier, because it lacks the last thing: the final terminal guidance.

Ballistic missiles, after all, are used to attack fixed targets. If they want to hit moving targets at sea, all anti-ship missiles have an active radar seeker at the front end, which is used to determine the final position of the target and modify itself. route.However, for these ballistic missiles that come down at more than ten times the speed of sound, it is no problem to install radar on its head, but there are almost no materials that can be used for the high temperature shroud that can pass through radar waves .

Therefore, before re-entering the atmosphere, it received the signal from the satellite for the last time. It can only determine the possible location of the opponent according to the pre-designed algorithm, and then hit it.

Not all warships have such luck. Both the two largest aircraft carriers escaped, and the cruiser with the second largest displacement also escaped. However, an Arleigh Burke class was smashed up. The warhead penetrated the hull. Under such circumstances, it was a miracle that the hull didn't break immediately.

Moreover, the warhead did not hit the MK41 launch unit, otherwise, it would definitely cause a huge explosion. However, the situation is not much better. The ammunition under the front naval gun was ignited, and the damage control personnel acted urgently, but they did not extinguish it. The fire, and finally, in the explosion of the ammunition, the front bow was blown apart, the sea water swarmed in, and the captain finally had to give the order to abandon the ship.

For air defense, as long as there is a missile that slips through the net, it will cause a huge disaster.Now, Iraq is only using ordinary warheads. If it is equipped with nuclear warheads, then the entire fleet has been wiped out at this time.

The air battle between the escort fighter planes had already begun. As the most powerful U.S. Navy, at this moment, they felt a sense of panic that they had never felt before.

After the pre-warning plane took off, it was immediately discovered that a batch of new fighter planes were flying at ultra-low altitude. Judging from the number, they were definitely not the carrier-based aircraft on the Iraqi aircraft carrier, but their land-based aircraft. However, their land-based aircraft How can a basic aircraft have such a long range?

It is definitely not enough to rely solely on escorting fighter jets. All Aegis warships are on high alert and ready to fight against the roaring saturation attack at any time.

At the same time, the attack aircraft group released by the US aircraft carrier formation has also entered the long-range defense circle of the Iraqi aircraft carrier formation, and the first round of Tomahawk anti-ship missiles also flew there.

Twenty Su-27K fighter jets escorting the Iraqi aircraft carrier formation immediately greeted them, and the battle also started outside the Iraqi aircraft carrier formation.

PS: PS: Thanks to the Judgment Gundam, Magic Jack, Eagle of the People's Liberation Army, xu911911, XO Jia, the dead man's head, the boat crossing the river, this killer does not blink, Ali, 丿菰漃灬侽玍丨, 1196820307, ​​the ability of Mr. Unknown Ren, Zheng Youqian and other friends for their rewards, thank you friends for your precious monthly tickets and evaluation tickets, continue to ask for monthly tickets!

Chapter 150, The Power of Saturation Attacks

On the outside of the Iraqi aircraft carrier formation, there are four self-produced frigates. These frigates only have short-range air defense missiles. However, further inside, there are three modern-class ships and one Dreadnought III-class ship. They are all equipped with medium-range air defense missiles. The effective range is [-] kilometers, and further inward are two self-produced special air defense destroyers and two glory-class ships. The above are all area air defense missiles with a range of [-] kilometers.

If 50 missiles flew in, maybe they would surpass their firepower channel, but now only more than [-] missiles have been launched, so it can only be said that the United States is too stingy.

The first thing to launch was the long-range SA-N-6 missile on the aircraft carrier warship. The launch tube of the Glory-class revolver kept emitting fire, and the missile was fired. This missile has a range of 100 It adopts radio commands with more anti-jamming measures and unsegmented TVM guidance. It can not only attack high-altitude and high-speed targets, but also effectively intercept low-altitude incoming targets such as harpoons, and has strong anti-saturation attack power.

Two Iraqi-made destroyers also began to launch long-range SA-N-6 missiles, and under the guidance of the phased array radar on the warship, they began to attack the missiles flying from a long distance.At this time, the flying height of the Tomahawk is about 40 meters above sea level, so they can accurately capture the target at a distance of [-] kilometers.

Due to the influence of the curvature of the earth, the maximum range of this air defense missile has not been effectively utilized.

While the first batch of missiles were still flying towards the target, the roof radar on the Hyundai class had already spotted the target. According to the data assigned by the integrated fire control system, they began intense preparations to launch their own missiles.

Especially Dreadnought III, it has more channels of firepower, so it can fight more targets at a time.

Even if only one fish slipped through the net, it would be a big blow to them.

However, compared with the two sides in terms of anti-ship missiles, the United States is obviously at a disadvantage.

Because the United States does not pay much attention to anti-ship missiles. The Tomahawk missiles they launched were only temporary guest appearances. They were originally cruise missiles, but now they are regarded as anti-ship missiles. Although they have a long range, they are slow. Under the control of computer software, it is possible to perform S maneuvers at the end, but it still cannot compare with Iraqi anti-ship missiles.

Iraq's huge aircraft fleet, first of all carrier-based aircraft, began to launch the KH-41 anti-ship missiles it carried.

In the setting sun, the titanium alloy shell shone with an enticing light. As the carrier aircraft accelerated, two missiles ignited one after another and separated from the pylon.

After breaking away from the Su-27K, they suddenly felt lighter. They turned around and flew towards the American planes. With their hands free, it was time to beat up the American carrier-based planes.

The Su-27K escorting them had shot down five Tomcats at this time, but three of them were also shot down.They provide valuable time for the strike formation.

None of the fighter planes imported by the United States can escape, let them all disappear in the sea and air!

The addition of this batch of fighters immediately put the Tomcat fighter squadron entered by the United States into a difficult situation.

At this time, the Tu-22M and JH-22 also flew within the range where anti-ship missiles can be launched. Because the Tu-[-]M at this time is supersonic penetration, so the anti-ship missiles under the wings were given With a greater initial velocity, it launched anti-ship missiles at a distance of [-] kilometers.

The JH-250 continued to fly, and did not launch its own missile until [-] kilometers away.

After the launch, the escorting Su-27 fighters did not participate in the continued battle, and they began to return. After all, they came here from the land base, and the distance was too far.

On the sea, there is already a scene like a plague of locusts, and Iraq's most important attack has begun.

37 Su-27Ks fired 74 anti-ship missiles; Ship missiles flew towards the US aircraft carrier formation in batches and by target.

Iraq has a total of 41 KH-[-] anti-ship missiles in stock, and most of them have been consumed in this attack.

If you are dealing with ordinary warships, then it is enough to use cheap C801 series anti-ship missiles. However, if you are facing an aircraft carrier formation and multiple Aegis warships, the subsonic anti-ship missiles will not have any effect.

What is effective can only be the saturation attack of supersonic anti-ship missiles!

The air defense missiles of Iraq's aircraft carrier formation have already killed all 6 Tomahawk missiles launched by the United States. Among them, only two flew near the outermost warship of the formation, and were shot by short-range six-tube 30mm 730mm missiles. Thousands of guns dropped.

However, in the face of the nearly [-] anti-ship missiles launched by Iraq, the three Ticonderoga-class cruisers and three Burke-class destroyers in the US aircraft carrier formation immediately felt heavy pressure. After the ballistic missile fell, the three cruisers that followed were still in the anti-ballistic missile mode.

The E-2 pre-warning aircraft is constantly tracking these targets, and they are all flying at more than twice the speed of sound. This is a test for their air defense system.

They no longer cared about commanding the planes that were still engaged, and turned all their attention to tracking these anti-ship missiles.

The flying altitude of these missiles is very low. The initial altitude is only 40 meters, and when it approaches a distance of 20 kilometers, the altitude drops to [-] meters.

If it is a subsonic missile, it will take more than 15 minutes to fly this distance, which can give them sufficient interception time, but now, the total flight time is only a little more than 5 minutes.

The radar of the Aegis system has not found the target yet.

No matter how advanced these flat-panel phased array radars are advertised, they can't detect missiles that have already flown to a distance of 1 kilometers, which is already a very dangerous distance.The time left for them to react is only [-] minute.
