Since the speed of the ship was not very fast, it was already dusk when they approached the Strait of Hormuz. โ‰ฆโ‰ง

This time, the Arabs did not ask the United States to escort them, but organized a fleet of their own to escort these ships out of the Persian Gulf, and this formation immediately attracted the attention of other warships on the periphery of the Persian Gulf.

A Hawkeye AWACS aircraft took off from the US Navy aircraft carrier and circled over the Arabian Sea, monitoring the formation's every move, as well as the Iranians on land on the strait side.

The task of such an escort is too easy for the US Navy, they can shoot down the missiles launched by the Iranians with a few air defense destroyers, and for this formation, it is very difficult.

The Eagle Eye early warning aircraft received the signal of the Thomson CSF Sea Tiger radar, which is the signal of the long-range warning radar equipped on the Medina-class frigate that the Saudi Navy has just entered service.

The Iranians on the coast side have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and this time they have confirmed that at the forefront of the entire formation are the warships of the Saudi Navy.

The Iranian missile forces deployed on the side of the Strait of Hormuz received a task from their superiors: first to take out the Iranian warships escorting the ship! Having easily killed a Kuwaiti tanker last time, they are increasingly satisfied with the effectiveness of such missiles, but alas, they have only twenty missiles of this type. โ‰ฆโ‰ง they have to pick a worthy target to fight, since these people think they can get out of the strait, then let them see who is the overlord here!

In addition to the missile units, the newly formed squads of the Islamic Guards, which used speedboats to attack, also began to drive speedboats and began to attack oil tankers.

There are not enough missiles, however, such detachments of theirs. But there are enough of them, there are more than a dozen!

Attacking oil tankers with speedboats was the work of pirates, but the fighters of the Islamic Guards, with their love for the great leader, threw themselves into such operations.

The sunset shines on the calm Persian Gulf, but in the brief calm, there is a chance to kill each step.

"Attention. The search radar is turned on and pre-launch preparations are carried out. Next to the silkworm baby, a group of Iranian soldiers are constantly busy.

Start preparing in the morning. They had already refueled the missile and conducted all the tests, so it was very easy to launch it now.

As the order was given, the huge antenna on the radar car. โ‰ฆโ‰ง began to turn. Suddenly, invisible electromagnetic waves shot into the sky. This electromagnetic wave was immediately picked up by the electronic device that was waiting for it.

The E-2 Hawkeye AWACS aircraft in the sky, which immediately received the signal, has detected at least three places that the radar irradiation of the Iranians has been detected. This radar is used to guide anti-ship missiles.

Maybe. At the next moment, it will be time for the Iranians to launch missiles.

Although the United States and Saudi Arabia have a good cooperative relationship. However, this time Saudi Arabia did not turn to the US government for help, but organized a group of laughing escort formations to protect the safety of this tanker formation, so the United States is only a bystander to the missile attack of the Iranians, and their AWACS aircraft are constantly collecting the parameters of this radar to provide data for their own counterattack.

Saudis, when you are killed by the Iranians this time, you will have to go back to the US Navy for help! Thinking that there was no reason for their side to enter the Persian Gulf, the combat intelligence officer on the E-2 AWACS aircraft was full of anticipation to see how much damage they would suffer! Then ask them to see for themselves what kind of level they are.

Due to the need to take off and land from the aircraft carrier, the E-2 early warning aircraft is only a small brother compared with the E-3, limited by the small airframe, the performance of the E-2 early warning aircraft is much worse than the E-3, it has only 5 crew members, in front of the main and co-pilot; In the rear cabin are radars, friend-foe identification equipment, and computer cabinets, with three crew members: the radar operator, the combat intelligence officer, and the air controller. โ‰ฆโ‰ง radar operator stared at the large screen in front of him, waiting for a few bands of light to fly out from the other side of the strait and then hit the mighty formation, almost inevitably.

Suddenly, the radar operator found himself on a snowflake on the big screen in front of him, oops, electronic jamming!

Since its inception, the E-2 AWACS aircraft has been constantly being improved. Until the development of the E-2C, the high-power engine was modified, and the AN/APS-120 radar was replaced, although it still works in the P-band, but the dual-delay line fixed target cancellation technology was adopted, the anti-jamming ability was strengthened, and the land and bottom vision capability was increased, and the detection range was increased. Later, the AN/APS-125 radar system was modified to further improve the target detection and anti-jamming capabilities, and the detection distance of different targets reached 741 km for high-altitude bombers, 463 km for low-altitude bombers, 360 km for ships, 408 km for low-altitude fighters, and 269 km for low-altitude cruise missiles.

The E-2 AWACS aircraft, after receiving interference, immediately took countermeasures, and at the same time, it was also determining the location of the source of interference.

Finally, they discovered that the source of interference came from the ship formation on the sea, the frigate at the front! The US military, with its own electronic superiority, managed to eliminate the threat of the source of interference and find the location of the source of interference, however, for the Iranians on the ground, it was not so easy. โ‰ฆโ‰ง

Iran's missile forces are nervously preparing for the launch process, and after the radar is turned on, they have successfully identified many ships sailing on the sea, and the target is locked on the frigate at the front, which is the pride of the Saudi Navy!

The frigate of the Saudi Navy that has just entered service, the Abuha with the port number 706!

The three missiles were almost all aimed at the same warship, although there were advanced ship-to-air missiles on that warship, but that kind of missile could only be launched one at a time and hit one target, and he would definitely not be able to resist the attack of three missiles at the same time!

The Iranians, who were self-taught, actually came up with this method of saturation attack.

However, they didn't expect that before the missile was launched, there was a white fog on their radar screen, and then they lost the target.

Electronic jamming!

The officers and men of Iran's operating radar, looking at the radar screen full of white fog, were already at a loss, because, in the process of introduction, they were trained and told that the electronic equipment of this missile is advanced and has strong anti-jamming performance!

The result? Before the missile was launched, the radar was already scrambled.

What's worse is that they don't have any countermeasures, so they can only wait here stupidly.

"Why don't you transfer the target data?" At this time, a stern voice came from the command car. "Report, we have ** disturbed, the radar has lost its target."

"I don't care about any interference, just send me the data right away." Allah is above, how to transmit data if you interfere! The radar soldier couldn't help but want to scold, that person was transferred from Tehran, and no one dared to offend.

On the sea, the crew of the Badr was nervously busy.

The jamming equipment has been turned on, and what they need to do now is to maintain these equipment, and for two hours, without any failures, protect the formation from completely passing through the most dangerous Strait of Hormuz.

By this time, it was already getting dark outside.

In front of the Badr is the Iraqi tanker Tamm, who is also making final preparations.

In addition to the warships in the front and rear, there are only two small missile boats of several hundred tons patrolling quickly on both sides of the formation, because this is an escort mission, and the missile boats do not carry heavy anti-ship missiles and are relatively light.

However, the more than 40 ships of the entire formation also spread a distance of 20 nautical miles, and it was obviously not enough to rely on only two missile boats to patrol.

Their attention is focused on the anti-ship missiles that may fly from the shore, and the sky is already dark, and the fire of the anti-ship missiles will be very dazzling.

On the sea, more than a dozen small boats were speeding over, and in the darkness, the armed men on board stared fiercely at the oil tanker in front of them like hungry wolves. When receiving the approach of the tanker formation, the sea forces organized by these Islamic guards of Iran began to set sail, they did not know that their own anti-ship missiles were disturbed, they were just performing their own duty: with the weapons in their hands, kill these tankers!

When they arrived, they chased right behind the butt of the formation, and looking at the tall tankers, the armed men showed their hideous faces: let's do it!

Iran lacks planes and missiles, but Iran is not short of people, and to blockade this strait, it is not necessary to use all missiles, but also to use people!

Since the Strait of Hormuz is an important shipping lane, there are numerous lighthouses along the median line to guide ships on the way.

Marwan looked at the lighthouse in the distance and knew that his time had finally come.

"Prepare to put the dinghy." Marwan said.

By night, they need to take a dinghy to the coastline of Iran to complete their difficult but must-complete task.

Walking to the side of the ship, Hades, who was fiddling with his night vision devices, suddenly noticed something unusual on the sea: there were several small boats, which were rapidly approaching!

"Don't put the dinghy yet, there is a situation!" Hades said.
