Chapter 46 Missile War of Atrition

When there is suddenness at all. The battle begins in the air.

When the air raid sirens sounded, Molovan's spirit was extremely tense. The Fourth Office promptly appeared a group of small thugs thousands of kilometers away, and promptly guided the nearby four fighters into battle. More importantly, the first to attack the enemy plane, the Siyichi, carried out electromagnetic interference in a very timely manner, turned around, and handed over the task of guiding the fighter to the later Siyi. Thus avoiding the incoming interceptor missiles.

Hug Zhao, there is no chance of winning.

The loss of mouth air defense fighters in exchange for more opportunities.

It's just that Mo Luo Mu is more concerned not with fighters in the sky, but with anti-ship missiles flying close to the surface of the sea.

After confirming that the incoming enemy aircraft did not fire anti-ship missiles, Molovan immediately ordered three aircraft carriers to dispatch anti-aircraft fighters to the maximum extent, and at the same time ordered anti-aircraft fighters in other directions to go into battle.

It's just that the advantage is not on the side of the Indian fleet.

As the easternmost Siyichi turned to retreat, the air defense fighters of the Indian fleet immediately disorganized.

Murder 2 said to those who did not use the active electric collision jamming device, Xiao Zhao opened the bomb bay hatch. When preparing to launch a missile, the detection distance can reach a thousand kilometers. In air combat, the AWACS aircraft will definitely have to stay behind their own fighters, and keep the fighter group in the crash until Zhao is supported by the AWACS aircraft, and the fire control radar will work in a centralized detection mode. The maximum locking distance for the first four is about 1 kilometer, and the maximum range of the blade interceptor missile equipped with it is also about 1,000 kilometers. In the same situation, the fire control radar of the first four said that Xiao Zhao had already appeared on the fourth day. And interceptor missiles were shot.

At this time, the performance flaws of the four-one tax are completely exposed?

If it's old, I'm saying, Xiao Zhao, let the first four lock the small one kilometer away! Zhao can still shoot the interceptor missile first, but before the blade arrives, Shisi can also fight back! Rather than being defenseless.

The main reason why the performance of the Siyi blanket is not as good as the old one is not that the radar is not advanced enough, but that the hair is not high enough.

Whether it is the small old series of fighters, or the US Air Force's La series fighters, or even the US Navy's first series of fighters, their stealth is mainly aimed at radars located below and on the same plane. Instead of focusing on coping with the radar diagonally above. In this way, the patrol height of the AWACS aircraft has become very important? The height of the old combat patrol was less than four knife meters for the thugs, and sometimes it was even around the meter of Dangong. The patrol flight altitude of the 42 is only Wangkou meters, and the maximum flight altitude is only Bakou meters. When faced with a fighter entering from an altitude of 10,000 meters, it is difficult to spot the fighter in time with the phased array radar it is equipped with.

Zhao, a petty thug who is on escort duty, does not need to launch anti-ship missiles at low altitudes, so he does not need to fly too low.

When entering, the flight altitude of the small thug Zhao group was about four meters old, and the flight altitude of the planer 2 was exceeded, so that the four-one blanket became an ornament.

Probably because they didn't fly high enough, neither the U.S. Navy nor the Marine Corps purchased the Fierce One or Two Planes, and only the U.S. National Guard purchased the Blade Two Planes, whose main purpose was not to command fighter jets on the battlefield, but to pull speedboats to transport drugs in the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico.

The first group of thugs did not know where the enemy was, and they were killed by missiles.

The shovel recess, who immediately entered the battle, failed to reverse the defeat.

Although Molovan ordered the three aircraft carriers to immediately allow more combat rights to take off, the battle situation changed again when each aircraft carrier's thug group approached the Indian Eastern Fleet.

Now the Indian fleet is taking off fighter jets urgently. Instead of rushing into the Indian fleet's air defense network, the group of planes hovered thousands of kilometers away, taking turns attacking Indian fighters with missiles that were taking off urgently. Of course, there is also a very important reason for this, that is, the Indian Eastern Fleet sailed a distance to the northwest, and the little fighter Zhao basically reached the maximum attack distance, so he had to let some fighters return as soon as possible to avoid consuming too much fuel on the battlefield.

This kind of "point-and-kill" battle has not only destroyed the air defense network of the Indian fleet, but also the fighting spirit of the Indian officers and men.

War is brutal, and the backward side will only be beaten.

It's just that Molovan didn't feel heartache. On the contrary, I was very confused.

The air battle lasted for many minutes, and only fighters carrying anti-aircraft ammunition arrived, and there were no attack aircraft carrying anti-ship missiles.

What exactly does the Chinese fleet want to do?

Could it be that a few fighters were sent to suck the fighters of the Indian Eastern Fleet?

Obviously, this argument is untenable.

Even if the Indian Eastern Fleet loses all its fighters, only the aircraft carrier remains, because the Indian Air Force has also purchased a large number of Milk Four fighters manufactured according to naval standards, and the specific number is Wound Four, compared with the Navy's first four, only the landing system is reduced, and the fuselage and landing gear structure are not reduced. In other words, it only needs to be equipped with a landing system to transform it into a carrier-based fighter, so as long as the Eastern Fleet returns to Visakhapatnam, it can be replenished within a few days and restored to combat capability again.

If the Chinese fleet wants to seize sea supremacy, it will not be Indian carrier-based fighters that need to be killed, but aircraft carriers.

Thinking of this, Molovan seemed to understand.

The fact that the attack aircraft group did not arrive can only indicate one problem, that is, the Indian Eastern Fleet is not within the strike range of the attack aircraft group of the Chinese fleet.

Xiao Xu is much farther away, because fighter jets on attack missions need to carry more ammunition and can't carry too many external drop fuel tanks. If the maximum take-off weight of the Hurricane is included, it is even more impossible to take off with full fuel at the maximum bomb load, so that its attack radius is much lower than that of the Akira fighter.

Thinking about this episode, Molovan immediately thought of two possibilities.

It is the Chinese fleet that has no plan to attack the Indian East Fleet, but only hopes to deplete the combat capability of the Indian Eastern Fleet as much as possible before the end of the battle, so that it will not be able to quickly recover its combat effectiveness after returning to Visakhapatnam. Second, the attack aircraft group of the Chinese fleet is about to arrive, but the number is very limited, because it is necessary to say, small partner tankers; That is, only half small! Asahi was able to attack the Indian Eastern Fleet; According to the scale of the attack of the Chinese fleet on the Western Fleet; There will be no more than four small mouth fighters capable of attacking the Eastern Fleet.

At 4 o'clock Beijing time, less than a minute after the start of the battle, Molovan ordered the fighters to stop taking off.

According to his guess, those little thugs Zhao was about to use up half of the fuel and would soon leave on his own initiative.

His guess was correct, and about a minute later, the group of thugs headed east.

At this time, Molovan ordered the fighter to take off again.

Said, Xiao Xu's group of planes will arrive, and the attack is about to begin.

When mobilizing the fighters, Molovan did not forget to let the four 2 watts that had retreated to the west of the fleet move east to expand the range of air defense alert.

According to his guess, Koguchi will definitely enter from a low altitude, fire anti-ship missiles when it is about a kilometer away from India's Eastern Fleet, and then return home. Four-2 must reach about a kilometer east of the Eastern Fleet as soon as possible. Because planing 2 thrives on the low-flying one! The detection range of Asahi will not exceed 3 kilometers.

The problem is that the fierce blanket is a tilt-rotor AWACS aircraft, and its flight degree is not fast in the first place.

Although the use of conformal phased array radar did not have much impact on the aerodynamic shape of the fierce Yiyue, and the replacement of the turbine motor with more power was enough to offset the negative impact of the increase in the weight of the fuselage on the flight, but the maximum flight degree of the gang was less than 1,000 kilometers per hour, and the maximum flight degree of the 41 Jin was only about a pitiful kilometer per hour. From this, it can be calculated that it will take at least 10,000 minutes for Fierce 2 to reach the concave about a kilometer east of the Indian Eastern Fleet.

Flying too slowly is undoubtedly another major flaw of the fierce one.

The old US Navy's maximum flight degree was more than 1,000 kilometers per hour, and the maximum flight degree of the Republic Navy's carrier-based early warning aircraft was about 1,000 kilometers per hour. With the advent of a new generation of vertical take-off and landing carrier-based aviation platforms, the maximum flight degree of carrier-based early warning aircraft in the future is very likely to be oversounded. Comparatively, the maximum flight degree is indeed too slow, only a little faster than a carrier-based AWACS helicopter.

10,000 minutes is enough for the destruction of India's Eastern Fleet.

A little bit of a fuss, a gouge is still flying eastward. The first fighters of the Little Fighter Asahi arrived in the Strait of Ten Degrees in the strait between the Andaman Islands and the Nicobar Islands. It is located about a kilometer above the center of northern latitude and about a kilometer from the Eastern Fleet of India. After receiving the battlefield information provided by the AWACS aircraft, Mi Jie immediately fired six anti-ship missiles carried by the mouth. It then turned east and headed back.

There is no way, the small mouth group will not return. It is not possible to get to the skies over the Gulf of Thailand with refueling opportunities

Finish.

About 2 minutes later, Planer-2, which was still flying eastward, appeared with all the approaching missiles and immediately raised the alarm

I have to admit that the four-one blanket is not only a disadvantage. There are no advantages.

As a carrier-based early warning aircraft specially designed for the British Royal Navy, its technology is not low, and in some respects it is not worse than its mouth. For example, the photoelectric detection equipment it carries is very advanced. The infrared radiation from anti-ship missiles and stealth fighters that can be detected hundreds of kilometers away can only be seen from above, thus providing them with a radar-independent means of detection.

The current missile group is the photoelectric detection equipment on the Siyi Rose.

When the missile attacked, Molovan did not dare to be careless. Immediately the fighters were ordered to stop taking off, and the fleet conducted an air defense operation.

Of course, Molovan did not forget the most important thing, which was to let the Yuduo Shisi, which had already taken off, immediately intercept the approaching anti-ship missile.

Molovan did not let the fighters go after him. Group! It's just 7, when the group is now. said, how much faster Xiao Xu is, plus the distance of hundreds of kilometers. It can't catch up with the small mouth group at all; Second, the greatest threat to the fleet is anti-ship missiles. And not a fighter who has already fired a missile, whoever it is. At this time, the first thing to deal with must be anti-ship missiles.

The interception of anti-ship missiles with fighters is not a novel tactic, but the most effective means of interception.

Relatively speaking, as long as the fighter locks onto the target. It is possible to attack low-flying anti-ship missiles with interceptor missiles.

The interception was carried out successfully, and each first four aircraft was able to deal with 8 air targets at the same time. Because Ma Si often carries 6 interceptor missiles and 2 combat missiles when performing air supremacy combat missions, under normal circumstances, it can only intercept 6 targets at the same time. Using the tactical data link that was dug out, the fleet's air defense combat command center quickly assigned interception targets to the wounded four.

Anti-ship missiles are not fighter planes, and not only are they not equipped with radar warning planes and missile warning planes, but they also have no way to maneuver and evade missile attacks when they are attacked.

Just the handwheel interception, there is not much left to lead to 6 anti-ship missiles.

Similarly, the first four, who went to intercept, also ran out of interceptor missiles and quickly withdrew from the battle. Because the fleet was in a state of air defense operations, the radar of the air defense warships would lock on to any target in the air, and the carrier of the air fighter would not turn to recover the fighters, so the first four did not return to the aircraft carrier, but went north and withdrew from the battlefield.

The war bull is not over.

At the point of mouth, the second batch of Miji small fighters Asahi fighters arrived.

At this time, Molovan only had the "crucian carp" left in his hand.

It's not that the three aircraft carriers are not fast enough to dispatch fighters, nor is it that there is not enough time to move fighters. In a combat situation, the aircraft carrier is able to eject fighters at a rate of darts per minute, from 4 points to points, allowing fighters to rise into the air. The problem is that there is simply no extra Ma Si on 3 aircraft carriers. In the other way, there are old planes that were sent out to carry out reconnaissance missions and escort missions, some of which were strong planes that participated in interception missions before, and eight planes that broke down and stayed in the hangar. And each aircraft carrier carries 7 Rang Shi Si, and the Indian Eastern Fleet has only a total of "crucian carp". From this, it can be calculated that the only thing Molovan can mobilize is Mo Jia Bang Girl

Even if the interceptor missile hitter shoots down the anti-ship missile, there are still anti-ship missiles that break through the outer air defense network.

In fact, the anti-ship missile that broke through the fighter interception line passed the thug's concave.

The fighters were withdrawn, and the air defense battleships went into battle.

Whip air defense cruiser with mouth multipurpose destroyer. It is capable of two inner layers of air defense within 10,000 kilometers and 4,000 kilometers in the air defense operation stage of the fleet area.

The problem is that such an interception will consume a lot of ammunition from air defense warships.

In order to deal with the two old anti-ship missiles, the fighters of the Eastern Fleet of India fired a number of regional air defense missiles from warships with regional air defense capabilities, and six anti-submarine destroyers with point air defense capabilities fired from anti-aircraft missiles. The problem of the latter is not prominent, but the impact of the former is very obvious. 3 Bainbridge-class anti-aircraft cruisers each carried an anti-aircraft missile. At the end of the interception, each of the cruisers had a number of anti-aircraft missiles left, and each destroyer had a milk anti-aircraft missile. According to the calculation of the ammunition consumption of this round of interception, the next wave of attacks will allow the broken air defense warship to use up all the regional anti-aircraft missiles.

The reality is not much different.

The point accounted for the score, and the third batch of Miyako small fighters Asahi fighters arrived.

Because all the first four used up interceptor missiles, and the combat missiles could not intercept anti-ship missiles, the anti-missile tasks all fell on the air defense warship.

At the end of the regional air defense stage, the air defense cruisers were left with less than a hand-to-hand area anti-aircraft missile. The whip air defense destroyer ran out of area air defense missiles.

Although in the end, the anti-ship missiles that entered the inner air defense network within 4,000 meters of the thugs were left with less than a force. All were shot down at the point air defense stage, but the Indian fleet had already lost its regional air defense capabilities by this time.

Point of point, with the fourth batch of fighters, that is, the thugs! Asahi arrived, and the Indian Eastern Fleet was left with only means of air defense: forced electromagnetic interference devices.

Molovan had no other choice, the loss of some electronics was nothing compared to the sinking of all the battleships.

Having the armpit air defense cruiser use up the remaining anti-aircraft missiles, Molovan personally activated the forced electromagnetic interference device on the thug "Mahatma Gandhi".

As the anti-ship missile group effortlessly broke through the outer air defense network, entered the inner air defense network, and then made the final assault on the whip carrier, Molovan pressed the switch of the forced electromagnetic interference device trembled slightly.

Press down, and all the anti-ship missiles fall into the sea.

If it is pressed down, the Indian Eastern Fleet will lose its combat capability.

With the whirring of missiles, Molovan flipped the switch.

This was followed not by the sound of missiles crashing into the sea, but by violent explosions.

Molovan, who focused on air defense, made the same mistake as Wildett and ignored the threat from beneath the surface of the sea!
