Dominate South Asia

Previous missiles mainly used electronic tube circuits. In addition to their large size, another problem was that the electronic tubes had to be preheated before they could work, which led to the need for missiles to be prepared in advance. Now, with the advancement of Pakistan's electronic technology, this air defense missile, which integrates the genes of multiple missiles such as Sea Sparrow, Standard, and Patriot missiles, has adopted all-solid-state circuits. Many components use integrated circuits and can work almost as long as they are powered on. However, the steps such as starting the laser gyroscope on the missile still need to be done a few seconds in advance.

Now, the two missiles are ready and can be launched and intercepted at any time. At the same time, there are only these two missiles.

This time it was a test launch. When on the shore, only these two missiles were loaded, and the rest of the launch silos were empty.

The phased array radar continued to work, and the target 150 kilometers away was accurately captured by him.

The distance was getting closer and closer, and the operator's screen had begun to circle this target as a key target to be dealt with.

In fact, the missile body of the anti-aircraft missile at this time was almost copied from the Red Flag 9 missile body developed by China for many years. It weighed 1.3 tons, was six and a half meters long, and had two solid rocket engines. The maximum range was almost 120 kilometers. The extended-range version in later generations even reached 200 kilometers. However, that was only the maximum range. In actual combat, it would be subject to many constraints and the range would not exceed 100 kilometers. Now, the preset interception distance is 60 kilometers. At this distance, if the interception fails, there will be a second chance for interception.

"90 kilometers."

"80 kilometers, lock the target."

"70 kilometers, launch the missile!"

The operator's index finger pressed on the launch button. The manhole cover of the launch silo had been opened. The missile inside was originally stored in a disposable package. Now, with a bang, the high-pressure air pushed the missile out, and the front end of the missile pierced the packaging box and flew out.

The missile body was tilted a little. After flying a few meters out of the launch silo, the missile had already left the deck of the warship, and then the engine at the tail suddenly ignited.

In a blazing flame, the missile's engine began to ignite and flew into the sky.

The target aircraft was still flying, and suddenly, it made an unexpected maneuver.

The J-6 UAV was equipped with a radar warning aircraft. When it was found that it was locked by the opponent's radar, the onboard computer began to quickly judge and made an autonomous choice in the preset program. Finally, it decided to use rolling to escape and ultra-low altitude penetration!

The rudders under the wings and the rudders at the tail began to move at the same time, and the drone rolled with a large slope and turned to the direction perpendicular to the radar beam. If it was a pulse Doppler radar, this action would cause the opponent's radar to be unlocked, but now it is a phased array radar. Therefore, this action was still clearly seen by the opponent.

After rolling, the drone began to lower its altitude, and this flight was almost ten meters above the sea.

The waves were two or three meters high, and this ten-meter altitude was almost the height that only the most daring pilots dared to fly.

"The target disappeared." The radar operator reported this frustrating news.

No matter what shipborne radar it is, due to altitude restrictions. For targets flying at ultra-low altitudes, the detection distance is very short, even the famous American Aegis system is no exception.

The target aircraft actually flew directly from 1,500 meters in the air to ultra-low altitude! Was it a target aircraft failure and crashed during the flight? Now. Of course no one would think so!

"All beams are concentrated at low altitudes, pay attention to discovering the target aircraft!" said the captain.

The target aircraft disappeared. It was only temporary, the radar can still detect the target aircraft flying at ultra-low altitudes, but the detection distance is closer.

The air defense missile that was just launched, because there was no target, became an uncontrolled rocket and would explode at the predetermined distance.

"What is the person operating the target aircraft for? How could he let the target aircraft lose control!" said Zahar, the chief of staff of the Navy.

Originally, the target aircraft flew over, the missile flew up, and accurately shot down the target aircraft, which completed the mission, but the target aircraft suddenly changed direction and flew at ultra-low altitude, which caused greater trouble to its own defense. No wonder Zahar was dissatisfied.

He knew that ultra-low-altitude penetration was a common means of modern warfare. The threats suffered by warships were mostly from anti-ship missiles flying at ultra-low altitudes. However, this was only the first time for his side to shoot targets. It didn't have to be so difficult, right?

Muhammad had a smile on his face. This target drone was interesting. It was almost the attack procedure of the large number of J-6 drones that would be made in the future. Not bad, not bad.

If it was really on the battlefield, this tactic might not work, because Pakistan also had early warning aircraft. The early warning aircraft, which was high above, would make the targets flying at ultra-low altitudes over the sea nowhere to hide. But now, there was only such a warship, and there was no early warning aircraft.

It all depended on the ship-borne phased array radar! At this time, all the beams shifted their phases and scanned towards the low altitude. Finally, at 20 kilometers away, the weak signal was captured again!

Launch the missile! If this missile misses again, it will be embarrassing! At this time, even Bai Xue was a little nervous, and her right hand couldn't help but grab Muhammad's hand.

Mhammad held Bai Xue's hand with his warm big hand, signaling her not to worry, it's not that our army is incompetent, it's that the enemy is too cunning.

Almost at the same time when the radar found the target, the second missile was ejected from the launch silo by high-pressure air.

After flying out, the missile began to ignite, pushing the missile to continue to accelerate upward, until it flew a distance, and then turned from the air and flew towards the sea.

All missiles launched vertically on the ship have the ability to launch immediately, and can launch a large number of missiles in a short time, which is far beyond the reach of the double-arm launch device. There is a complex automatic reloading system under the double-arm launch device, which is far less than the shooting speed of the vertical launch. However, the double-arm launch device also has advantages, that is, the launch arm can rotate and adjust the elevation angle, so that the launched missile will fly directly to the target. It is very efficient to deal with missiles flying at ultra-low altitude and skimming the sea.

Now, this kind of vertical launch missile, even though it knows that the opponent is flying from the sea, must first be launched vertically into the air, and it must be ignited and continue to fly upward until it has enough speed and the efficiency of the rudder is high enough, then it can control the missile to deflect and turn to the direction of the target.

The missile's engine continues to accelerate the missile. After the fuel of the first-stage rocket engine is consumed, it begins to fall off. The second-stage rocket engine ignites and pushes the missile to a speed of Mach 4.

It only takes more than 20 seconds to deal with the target aircraft flying 30 kilometers away!

"It is expected to shoot down the opponent's target aircraft in 20 seconds." The radar operator reported.

The initial and middle stages of this air defense missile are guided by inertia plus instructions, and in the final stage, it is guided by the active radar seeker. Therefore, as long as the missile is guided in the initial and middle stages, whether it can shoot down the target depends on the missile's own ability.

The phased array radar accurately guides the missile to fly towards the target.

"It is expected to arrive in five seconds and enter the active guidance stage!"

"Snake maneuver!" The radar operator looked at the trajectory on the radar and shouted in surprise.

This is not a fighter plane operated by a person, it is just a target plane! This target plane has made such a complicated maneuver now! This is not an advanced target plane introduced from Europe and the United States, but an old J-6 modified by our side!

Without the restrictions of the pilot, the maneuvering of this target plane is very rapid at this time, almost reaching an overload of 10G! This puts higher requirements on the air defense missile.

At this time, the air defense missile has entered the process of autonomous guidance of the seeker, and the phased array radar in the rear can only monitor.

After Pakistan invested in Sweden and completed the development of the active sky flash air-to-air missile, Pakistan also obtained these technologies simultaneously. Now, the seeker of this missile has this active sky flash technology. Because the diameter of the missile is large, the radar diameter of the seeker of this missile is also large. It firmly locks the target plane that is maneuvering at a high speed, changes direction, and keeps up with its target.

The trajectory is getting closer and closer, and everyone is nervous and holding their breath.

The target plane continued to lower its altitude, almost only five meters above the sea! Such a low altitude caused greater trouble for our missiles. If we could not separate the target from the waves, we would lose the target.

"The target disappeared." The radar operator said, the two trajectory lines overlapped, and then both targets disappeared.

"The air defense test is over, and the target was hit accurately!" Bai Xue's tense face finally showed a smile. This test was finally successfully completed! In other air defense missile tests, the first shot must have hit a target aircraft flying in a straight line, but the first time we shot, we hit a highly maneuverable sea-skimming target! Although the first missile missed the target, it was determined by technical reasons and could not be overcome at all. The second time, it actually shot down the opponent, which means that our missiles can not only attack targets in the high altitude, but also have a high hit rate against anti-ship missiles attacking at ultra-low altitude!

After Bai Xue finished speaking, she wanted to lead the applause, and then she felt that her hand had been held by Muhammad at some point, and her face was suddenly hot. (To be continued ~^~)
