Chapter 266: Packing Up the Maritime Reconnaissance Plane (Plus 1)
"Three reconnaissance aircraft were found." Hawkeye's response made Nathan even more delighted.
After hearing the direction of the target, Nathan immediately quickly issued a task, assigned it to his squadron, and took their reconnaissance plane out of anger!
Originally, there was only one reconnaissance plane, but after this reconnaissance plane discovered the target, it immediately sent it to the other reconnaissance planes, and two reconnaissance planes not far from the vicinity rushed to the scene.
They are here to die.
Yes, one after the other, not afraid of death.
In order to guide anti-ship missiles, it is necessary to have maritime reconnaissance planes, but the maritime reconnaissance planes will face the risk of being shot down.
You shot me down one, I have a second, you shot down a second, and a third.
Tonight, in order to sink the Americans' aircraft carrier group, they also decided to follow one after the other.
As a matter of fact, the danger of the reconnaissance plane is not very great, because although the missile needs to rely on the maritime reconnaissance plane to indicate the target, it is not the only one, and the greatest role of the maritime reconnaissance plane is to reconnoiter the movements of the US aircraft carrier and provide the missile with course correction during the period when the missile flies over.
To put it simply, for example, a missile flying in Mach is about one kilometer per second, and it takes 10 minutes to fly 600 kilometers, and in this 10 minutes, if the aircraft carrier fleet moves at a high speed of 30 knots, it can move five nautical miles, and if the missile is not smart enough, it may not be able to find the target if it flies over.
Maritime reconnaissance aircraft mainly provide this role, correcting the trajectory so that the missile can more easily capture the target after flying.
In the unlikely event that the target cannot be found, the missile will climb up according to the predetermined procedure, turn on the missile's own radar, and search the sea surface.
There is no need for a particularly advanced radar, because the missile is large enough that it is almost possible to install an ordinary sea search radar in front of it, and at the same time, the target is quite large, so it is easy to detect.
But, in any case, the necessity of maritime reconnaissance aircraft was a drawback of the Soviet saturation attack method, so they were constantly improving.
Later, they can receive data from satellites, and they can fly on their own and find targets on their own.
One of the hundreds of missiles flew over and acted as a reconnaissance plane at high altitude, providing guidance signals for the entire missile formation.
If this missile is shot down, then the entire missile formation, there will be a second one to climb up, followed by a third, and so on, this kind of missile formation, almost all with the meaning of intelligence in later generations.
These are all new missiles in the future, and now, these missiles fired by Backfire bombers rely on reconnaissance planes.
In the Tu-95 reconnaissance plane, the crew members are sticking to their posts.
"Our Backfire bombers are locked."
The radio frequency was figured out, listening to the shouting on the radio, Adtek's face was ugly, and the bomber was locked!
However, all the time there was no sound of firing being heard, and no sound of the plane being shot down.
"Americans, don't dare to do it." Locks said on the sidelines: "Now, the Americans are taking advantage, and they are not willing to expand for fear of causing a third world war." ”
Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
The Americans had a big advantage in Hokkaido, so the Soviet Union would sneak attack at night and want to kill the Americans' aircraft carrier group, so that it could be regarded as a tie.
If this batch of backfires is beaten down by the Americans, then the Soviet Union will no longer be able to bear it!
How could the Soviet Union, which suffered heavy losses, stop the pace of the war, the Third World War, would definitely break out in the Far East.
The Americans are unwilling to break out into a world war, which is why the Americans are so restrained, and now, the restraint of the Americans has allowed their own backfire group to retreat in its entirety.
It's a pity for these missiles.
The guide was still looking at the radar, and the radar screen on the belly of the plane was always white, and the target could not be found at all.
"Now, we hope that two more reconnaissance aircraft will take over." Locks said.
They were interfered with, what about the other two? With less interference, they may be able to spot targets on the clutter of the sea, so that they can guide the missiles that fly by.
More than 100 of them, the cost is high, and if all these missiles become monkeys, it will simply make the fleet commander furious.
Even if they don't sink their aircraft carriers, just hit a few escort warships, that's fine.
At this moment, all of a sudden, the terrible sound sounded in their headphones.
"Meow, meow."
Locked in yourself?
"Don't be afraid, the Americans won't dare to open fire." Locks said.
If the Americans had dared to open fire, they would have done it a long time ago, so why drag it out until now? Half an hour ago, the Tomcat fighter jumped up and down, trying to find their reconnaissance plane, and if they were determined, they opened fire directly.
It must be like this, the other party doesn't dare!
Locks was confident.
The hateful thing is that they only have the sea search radar on their abdomen, and the current Tomcat group must be in a higher position than them, so they can't see each other on the radar screen at all.
Your own early warning aircraft is also too backward, if there is a super early warning aircraft behind, it can provide more reliable air situation warnings.
Now, they won't be afraid.
As soon as Locks's words fell, suddenly, a flame appeared in the sky on the side, and in the sky above the side, this flame was so dazzling in the dark night sky.
Missiles, it must be missile launches, look at the direction of the flames, you know that it is coming towards you!
"Damn, they fired missiles, fast, fast, sideways!" Locks shouted loudly.
The Americans spared the Backfire bombers, but they were not going to let go of the maritime reconnaissance planes.
Shooting down the backfire in large quantities will anger Lao Maozi and turn into a full-scale war, but what about shooting down only a few reconnaissance planes? It is entirely possible for them to use reconnaissance planes to vent their anger, and they may also think that if they shoot down reconnaissance planes, those missiles that continue to fly over the sea will become uncontrolled rockets!
When he thought of this, Locks' face was already like ashes, although they had already prepared their minds when they came, but when death really came, he was still very uncomfortable.
As with fighter jets, sideways dodging is the most common way. However, it is not easy for this reconnaissance plane, which has been modified from the bomber fuselage to slow down, to turn around.
