Chapter 801 Discovery of the Aircraft Carrier Formation
On the sea surface, due to the curvature of the earth, you can’t see the opponent’s ship tens of kilometers away. When the ship is sailing, the first thing you see is the mast of the opponent’s ship, and then it will rise gradually. This is the curvature of the earth. The reason for this is that the beam of the radar propagates along a straight line, which is an insurmountable defect.
However, the Soviets took a different approach, using the high-altitude conduit effect to conduct super-horizontal line detection, and then give full play to the range of the ship's anti-ship missiles, which can easily range from one to two hundred kilometers. Under certain meteorological conditions, the temperature of the troposphere closest to the earth's surface will increase with height, while in normal conditions it will decrease, thus forming an inversion layer, and the electromagnetic waves in this area will be transmitted to hundreds of miles along the upper and lower boundaries of the inversion layer. Kilometers away, it is similar to the transmission in the waveguide, and this phenomenon is called the conduit effect, and the inversion layer area that can guide the transmission of electromagnetic waves is called the conduit or the guide layer.
Relying on this effect, the Soviets developed the mineral music station radar. This kind of radar was installed on the modern-class destroyers imported by China in later generations, and, like the roof radar, it became the standard of the new ships of the China Navy. radar.
The bandstand radar is very old. It was used to guide SS-N-9 in the early days. It can be seen not only on cruisers, but also on large missile speedboats. When the conduit phenomenon is used, the maximum search distance of this radar can reach 180km to 200km, the longitudinal error is only 50m, and it can track 30 targets at the same time, and at the same time apply radar irradiation of fire control level to 10 targets. Some large warships will be equipped with bulb radar video data links to communicate with missiles, but this is not necessary. Many missile boats equipped with Sunburn missiles do not have such a thing.
Due to the use of over-the-horizon radar, the range of the radar is enough to provide guidance information for the missile. Therefore, there is no need to add additional auxiliary search and guidance equipment. A ground-effect aircraft is enough to complete all attacks!
At the same time, in order to maximize the discovery of US warships and deal a devastating blow to the United States, another ground-effect aircraft hidden hundreds of kilometers away was also dispatched at the same time. The two aircraft each searched a certain area. communication.
Of course, due to the particularity of ground-effect aircraft, it is both a warship and an aircraft. This kind of thing can fly to a maximum height of 7,000 meters. In theory, it can be equipped with radar for air force fighters. After climbing high, it can naturally search the sea. of.
However, the attack of ground-effect aircraft lies in its suddenness. If it climbs high, like an airplane, it will definitely be scanned by the opponent's air-to-air search radar. You must know that ground-effect aircraft is a giant of several hundred tons! It's not as small as a fighter jet, and once it is detected by the opponent, the attack will lose its suddenness, especially when facing an aircraft carrier formation, being discovered is almost tantamount to being destroyed.
The radar waves are constantly scanning the sea surface, and through the conduit effect, the beams travel far. At this time, everyone on the ground effect aircraft is anxious.
Where are the Americans?
According to the speculation of the radar on the oil platform, our side wants to search the sea surface hundreds of kilometers wide here, and the US aircraft carrier formation will not stay here and wait for our side, and will definitely continue sailing during this period of time. This is really like finding a needle in a haystack. !
The roar of the ground-effect aircraft made everyone's ears ring in the cabin, and Marchtans' hands were placed on his knees, shaking slightly non-stop.
Why, haven't you found it yet? Marchetans asked.
Yes, we haven't found the target yet.
No target found yet! what is going on? Are American warships not in this sea area? Macetans recalled the recent intelligence that the US aircraft carrier has actually been sailing in the southern waters, but today,
But suddenly went north! But now, our own side can't find the opponent's location, is the opponent continuing to go north?
Yes, it must be so!
Search north! Marchetans said: Search the sea 200 kilometers north!
The advantage of ground effect aircraft is its speed! No matter where the opponent's aircraft carrier formation sails, one's own side can quickly follow!
Pilot Colombo pressed the control lever, and the huge aircraft began to turn to the north, and the search continued!
After flying forward for a few minutes, suddenly, the radar operator shouted happily: Found it! We found a large echo on the water surface, it is a sea formation!
Found? Macetans stood up and looked at the big screen at the back of his seat, where the radar operator was, countless bright spots appeared!
Lock on the American aircraft carrier and prepare to launch! Marchtans said: Avenge our bombed presidential palace and our dead!
Blockbuster echoes! There are at least twenty warships! Now, two hundred kilometers away! The launch is in full swing!
The six huge anti-ship missile launch tubes on the top have been opened, and the computer system is rapidly binding data to the missiles. Now, every second is precious!
Lock on the American aircraft carrier! After all, there is only one ground-effect aircraft and six missiles, so we must attack the opponent's most valuable target! What better target than an aircraft carrier? This is not a tasteless aircraft carrier like the UK, but a super aircraft carrier that takes off with a full catapult!
Six missiles, all aimed at the aircraft carrier!
The radar operator was operating nervously. According to the radar echoes, there were several large targets inside, but there was only one aircraft carrier among them, and the rest were integrated supply ships!
Which one is an aircraft carrier? Of course it is the core of the fleet formation! Steady tracking, capture data, and pass it on to the missile!
Although the shell is the same as in history, thanks to the advancement of Soviet electronic technology, the internal electronic equipment of this ground-effect flying attack vehicle has long been updated. The powerful electronic system quickly completed the pre-launch The preparation work, and now, there is still a hundred kilometers away from the American aircraft carrier formation!
Launch! Marchetans yelled.
Following his shout, the missile operator on the side pressed his finger on the launch button.
On the pitch-black sea, a piece of light shines, and in a huge puff of white smoke, inside the launch tube, a pointed silver-white missile flies out of the launch tube! Its huge body is displayed in the dark night sky!
When it comes out of the launch tube, the folded wings are opened, and the titanium alloy shell can simply blind the eyes of 24k dogs.
