Dominate South Asia

This kind of radar can be turned on continuously for 24 hours, and the power is only 3 kilowatts, which is the level of a water heater. After digital transformation, the performance has been completely transformed.

At this time, the radar operator was concentrating on the radar screen. The bright line kept rotating as the antenna rotated, scanning at a rate of two weeks per minute.

Suddenly, the operator's eyes widened. After the bright line was swept, two blurry bright spots appeared with echoes!

"Attention, alarm, suspicious target found!" the radar operator shouted, and began to flip various switches at the same time.

When the target is found, the distance and direction are only approximate data! The remaining warships also discovered the target at the same time.

Show scanning direction! Several warships separated, and through data links, several targets searched by radar were unified onto a Friendship Shield warship for synthesis. Soon, the intelligence was accurate.

Three hundred and fifty kilometers away, heading due east, two stealth aircraft!

Stealth aircraft! The Americans actually used stealth aircraft to attack their own naval formations. What is coming this time?

The American F-22 has not been developed yet, so it will definitely not be this kind of fighter, so there are only two types left. F-117s generally only drop precision-guided laser bombs. This weapon is generally used to attack land targets, and two of them cannot destroy our entire aircraft carrier formation. It seems that the opponent sent this time must be Bombers like the B-2!

Although experienced radar operators can determine what kind of aircraft the other party is coming from the radar echo, this is not true for stealth aircraft. The echo of the huge B-2 bomber is worse than that of the F-117. Small. We can only judge based on speculation.

For a moment. Emergency alarms are sounded on various warships. To deal with stealth aircraft, phased array radar is the best, because the beams of the phased array radar can be focused on the most obvious direction of the target, thereby increasing the detection distance of stealth aircraft.

Although the networked meter-wave radar can detect and detect specific directions, it is still not accurate enough to guide anti-air missiles.

On the aircraft carriers Indomitable and Endeavor, the Tomcat fighter jets on standby immediately quickly slid to the take-off position. In the white smoke of steam, attack quickly.

The two Tomcat fighter jets that were originally guarding the aircraft carrier had turned on their afterburners and rushed towards the target position to quickly intercept the two incoming enemy planes!

Unfortunately, the other party was still one step ahead.

At certain times, the United States, like the Soviet Union, goes to extremes, but the Soviet Union values ​​speed and power, while the United States deliberately values ​​stealth. The B-2 bomber is the second fighter aircraft that completely values ​​stealth capabilities. A certain amount of mobility is sacrificed for this, for example, although it has four engines. The maximum speed does not exceed the speed of sound, but it reaches Mach 0.95, which is much better than the F-117.

The B-2 flying at high subsonic speed flew forward another fifty kilometers when the Pakistani naval aviation quickly dispatched.

In the cockpit, two pilots were making final preparations before the attack. As the most advanced bomber in the United States, its combat capability is far stronger than that of the B-52. However, the number of people using it at the same time has been greatly reduced.

The B-2 has a crew of two, all sitting on the front ACE II ejection seat, with the pilot on the left and the mission commander on the right. There are four large windshields in front and on both sides of the cockpit, and passengers can enter and exit the cockpit through the belly door. In the event of an emergency, the ejection seat ejects through the fragile hatch on the top of the cockpit.

In comparison to other bombers of the same era, ejection of the flight crew was very cumbersome. For example, our country's H-6 has requirements for ejection speed, altitude, and the ejection sequence of each personnel. In the event of an aircraft accident. There is almost no time left for members to eject to survive.

The American B-1B bomber also made a compromise. The entire cockpit ejection method is adopted, and the cockpit is almost a small spacecraft, which greatly increases the complexity of the mechanism.

The mission commander is responsible for navigation and weapons delivery, but both crew members can complete the entire mission alone.

During the long voyage, due to the failure of GPS satellites, the U.S. military lost the ability to use GPS guidance. However, even without relying on satellite navigation, the B-2A's navigation system was sufficient to complete the entire mission. The B-2 navigation system consists of two systems, one is an inertial measurement unit, which is a high-precision laser gyroscope, and the other is the Northrop NAS-26 astronomical inertial unit, which is commonly used for starlight navigation. Optoelectronic telescope system with stable base to lock onto pre-selected stars on cloudy days.

The position of Pakistan's aircraft carrier formation at sea has been detected by an E-3 early warning aircraft that arrived in advance, and the B-2 obtained the approximate coordinates of the aircraft carrier formation through the data link system. Now, it has flown to the aircraft carrier formation three hundred At a distance of kilometers, the final attack of the B-2 bombers was gradually unfolding.

The AN/APQ-181 phased array radar at the front of the nose is powered on. This most advanced radar manufactured by Hughes has an operating frequency of 12-18GHZ, small side lobes, and strong anti-electronic interference capabilities. There are 21 working modes, among which the synthetic aperture radar working mode can clearly obtain scanning images of the surface within 161 kilometers, which is used for ultra-low altitude penetration, and the distance for scanning the sea surface and searching for large aircraft carrier formations exceeds 300 kilometers. Even for small targets such as torpedo boats, a search distance of 100 kilometers can be obtained.

The radar quickly locked onto the aircraft carrier formation on the sea in front. 300 kilometers is already a very close distance. You know, the air defense circle of the aircraft carrier formation can be expanded to 600 kilometers. The powerful interception capability of the Tomcat fighter is also obvious to all. Now the two bombers without any self-defense capabilities can rely on their own stealth performance.

The radar worked for two seconds and captured all the target data. Through the rapid calculation of the onboard computer, it provided the initial launch data for the missiles mounted on it. Then, the bomb bay door on the belly of the aircraft opened, and missiles flew out one after another.

Thirty-two AGM-158 missiles are enough to destroy the opponent's entire aircraft carrier formation!

In the air, the launch scene like fireworks made the two Pakistani naval pilots who went to intercept them anxious.

Generally speaking, relying on its outstanding stealth capability, the B-2 will not be discovered, but the networked meter-wave radar provides accurate target coordinates, and the two Tomcat fighters have already caught up to the visual distance.

In the clear night sky, the tail flame of the missile launched by the opponent is so clear that Lieutenant Colonel Helaba gritted his teeth.

Along the way, following the guidance information provided by the meter-wave radar behind, the two patrolling Tomcat fighters, which were originally responsible for the fleet's air defense mission, rushed over. At the same time, they continued to use their radars to scan the airspace ahead, but it was empty and nothing was found.

Pakistan's self-produced advanced radar with flat slot radar antenna has great advantages when dealing with conventional fighters, but their disadvantages are obvious when facing stealth aircraft. They have been flying at a distance of 20 kilometers, but they can only vaguely find the echo, but they cannot lock the opponent. Just like that, now they have flown at a distance of 5 kilometers and can already visually detect it, but they find that the opponent has launched a missile!

"Indomitable, Indomitable, the target has launched a missile!" Helaba said on the radio: "Visually estimated to be a US B-2 bomber, request instructions."

At this time, whether to intercept the two bombers or intercept the missiles fired by the opponent requires instructions from the rear, which is a difficult choice.

The missiles launched by the opponent must be anti-ship missiles. In the early stage of flight, this kind of missiles are inertial flight and are easy to be shot down, but it is difficult at the end. At the same time, these missiles are also the greatest threat to their own formation. However, if these missiles are intercepted, the two B-2 bombers will definitely fly away, and the culprit cannot be shot down, which makes Helaba very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the order came quickly: "Shoot down the American bomber!"

At this time, the Tomcat fighters that were constantly ejected and taking off were coming quickly. Those missiles could be handed over to the fighters behind to deal with. Now, the opponent's bomber must not get away!

"Understood!" Helaba switched the weapon switch. Although it was close enough to be visible, the radar still could not lock the opponent. It can be seen that the radar stealth performance of the opponent's bomber was too excellent. Switching to the photoelectric radar, the effect of the photoelectric radar in the dark night sky also became very poor. The opponent was not only radar stealth, but also infrared stealth and visual stealth. They did very well.

The helmet sight could not lock the opponent either! As the distance between the two sides gradually shortened, they finally passed each other head-on.

At this time, the two B-2 bombers that had launched missiles were ready to turn towards Diego Garcia Island in the south. The long voyage also consumed a lot of physical strength for the pilots. The two pilots needed to land and rest before returning.

At this moment, the flames at the tails of the two fighters flying opposite made their eyes, which were accustomed to the dark, shine instantly.

Damn, what is that? The two subconsciously looked back, but unfortunately this was not a fighter, and there was no backward vision.

The New York Ghost was the first to break the radio silence and shouted to the American Ghost: "Pakistan's Tomcat fighter! God, how did they find us?"

The American Ghost visually confirmed the models of the two fighters flying over, and a huge fear occupied their minds. What does it mean for a fighter without escort and a bomber that relies entirely on stealth performance to be discovered by an enemy fighter? (To be continued ~^~)
