Chapter 822: Eagle Strike-91's Attack
Eagle Strike-91!
This missile, which uses a rocket ramjet integrated engine, has an initial speed given by the carrier aircraft at high altitude, and its range is further increased. The distance of more than 200 kilometers is completely within the effective range!
Eighty missiles, with the roar of death, rushed towards the US aircraft carrier formation, and the Americans immediately felt a lot of pressure.
Compared with what happened to Pakistan last night, they are better. After all, the missiles fired by Pakistan have no stealth capabilities. However, another feature of these missiles is that their speed is quite high!
Mach 3! It can travel one kilometer in one second, and this distance of more than 200 kilometers is just three minutes!
This puts a great test on the air defense capabilities of the US aircraft carrier formation. At this time, the five Aegis system warships of the entire aircraft carrier formation, including two Ticonderoga-class cruisers and three Burke-class destroyers, all have four phased array radars running at full power. At the same time, the combat automation system automatically assigns targets to each warship.
Almost immediately after the missile launch was discovered, the first salvo of fire from the Aegis system warships began after a few seconds of preparation.
One after another, the Standard-2 missiles, dragging flames, were launched from the MK41 launch box, dragging thick smoke, and rushed into the sky.
Those missiles flying from high altitudes are their best targets. Even at a speed of Mach 3, they are completely within the combat envelope of the Standard-2 missiles!
However, those missiles flying from high altitudes only stayed in the sky for a few dozen seconds before their altitude began to drop!
The Standard-2 missile can intercept high-altitude targets with a range of 150 kilometers, but it can intercept missiles flying close to the sea surface. The range is within 50 kilometers! After all, the earth is round, and the distance blocked by the curved sea surface is a blind spot for any air defense system!
"Damn it!" A curse came from the Aegis warship.
The first batch of missiles launched were aimed at high-altitude targets, but they dived down from the sky! The speed increased to an astonishing Mach 5! Then, it disappeared from the radar screen!
Just now, each warship launched about thirty Standard-2 missiles. Although the number of terminal guidance radars was not enough, there were only eight AN/SPG-62 target illumination radars. But they can be used in time. The missiles launched earlier will be guided first, and the missiles launched later will fly by inertia using the pre-bound data. After the firepower channel is freed, the missiles launched later will be guided. It is easy for each missile to deal with more than a dozen targets.
But now, the missiles diving down from high altitude have almost turned the Standard-2 missiles fired earlier into big fireworks. Only two missiles successfully shot down two incoming supersonic missiles, and there are more than 70 missiles!
Everyone is worried. During the Cold War, the nightmare of the US Navy was the anti-ship missiles flying like locusts. The Aegis developed by the Americans with great effort is to counter saturation attacks. Unfortunately, the Navy of the Red Empire did not fight a decent naval battle with the US Navy at sea, and the Soviet Union disintegrated. The US Navy has become the most powerful existence.
And now, the US Navy found that they were trembling when facing the Pakistani Navy.
At this time. A new E-2 early warning aircraft was hurriedly finishing maintenance in the hangar and preparing to be lifted to the deck for catapult launch. Over the ocean, the US Navy's aircraft carrier formation temporarily lost the early warning capability provided by the early warning aircraft.
The Hornets that were ejected earlier began to act as the eyes of their own fleet at this time. Their radars were adjusted to the mode of sea attack, and the traces of anti-ship missiles that had been lowered to less than 20 meters from the sea surface were tightly captured.
One hundred and twenty kilometers, one hundred kilometers. Eighty kilometers... When there was still a distance of 70 kilometers from the aircraft carrier formation, the Aegis radar had not captured the target, and the launch of the second batch of standard missiles began again.
One by one, the Standard-2 missiles came out of the launch tube. The advanced vertical launch MK41 system of the United States showed a strong ability to resist saturation attacks at this time. If it were a double-arm launcher, it would be impossible to launch so densely!
The disadvantage of vertical launch is that when the missile is launched, it is facing the sky. It must first fly to a high altitude, accumulate a certain speed, and then have enough aerodynamic torque to pry the missile, complete the turn in the sky, and then dive down.
Therefore, before the target is detected, the second batch of standard missiles began to be launched again. The first missile launched has dived from the sky and flew in the direction of the target. At this time, the SPY-1 radar of the Aegis system finally searched for the low-flying target!
At this time, the distance is within 40 kilometers!
The Eagle Strike-91 missile continued to descend in altitude, and continued to fly at a speed of Mach 3 at an altitude of five meters above the sea. The waves on the sea were also about two meters. The missile was hidden in the waves and was even more difficult to be found.
Only the phased array radar system can accurately capture it by changing the radar phase and allowing a large number of electromagnetic waves to converge in one place! Unfortunately, this will give up the ability to search more airspace, just like a high-power telescope, although it can see clearly, the field of view is small.
In short, now that we have discovered it, we must attack!
The Standard-2 missile swooped down from the sky, and under the illumination of the AN/SPG-62 target illumination radar at the end, it flew quickly towards the target. However, just when a close contact was about to take place, the flying target suddenly twisted its thick waist on the sea surface.
Snake-shaped maneuver! After approaching the target, the anti-ship missile will certainly not fly along a straight trajectory! It must be an S-shaped maneuver, and the intercepting air defense missile will only maneuver after it lags behind the target. In this instant of turning, the Standard-2 missile missed, as if it was a cool fake move that made the opponent fall flat on his face. This Standard-2 missile plunged into the water.
The second Standard-2 missile continued to pounce on the target under the illumination of the target illumination radar. The probability of a single shot interception was less than 80%. Two missiles intercepting a target at the same time would have a higher probability of interception!
Finally, the second missile lived up to expectations. Two meters away from the anti-ship missile, the warhead detonated, and countless fragmented rod warheads flew around and sprinkled on the anti-ship missile.
However, the missile continued to fly forward as if nothing had happened!
The Eagle Strike-91 supersonic anti-ship missile is a money-burning thing. One such missile can buy ten C-802 missiles. The entire missile is quite expensive. For example, the outer shell of the missile is made of titanium alloy!
Only a close-range collision can destroy this missile. The attack of the fragmented rod two meters away did not cause fatal damage to the missile!
It's too late! The computer determines that this missile will be handed over to the air defense system behind it for processing. The target illumination radar aims at the next target and continues to prepare for interception.
Fireballs continue to appear on the sea. Every successful interception of an anti-ship missile means that the threat to one's side has been reduced. For supersonic anti-ship missiles, the Aegis system has only one chance to intercept!
More than 30 anti-ship missiles were successfully intercepted, which is an unprecedented data. You know, in later experiments, the American Aegis system has a very poor ability to intercept supersonic target aircraft.
However, there are nearly 40 anti-ship missiles flying in the sky!
Just when the Standard-2 missile was preparing to dive attack, the Sea Sparrow missiles on various frigates and destroyers were also launched one after another. Similarly, they only had one chance!
The large body of the Standard-2 missile led to inflexibility. The Sea Sparrow missile was smaller in size, and the electronic equipment was more advanced.
The Sea Sparrow missile fired from the double-arm launcher did its best to shoot down nine Eagle Strike-91 missiles, which was already the most ideal situation.
The captains of various warships were trembling in their hearts at this time. Those Eagle Strike-91s that were close at hand had already flown into sight! The only means for our side to deal with it was the dense formation at the end!
The Phalanx is a six-barreled 20mm Gatling gun with a firing rate of up to 3,000 to 5,000 rounds per minute, using the rain of bullets to kill the opponent!
However, at this time, the Eagle Strike-91 also entered the final stage of the serpentine maneuver. In the supersonic flight state, it is even more difficult to be intercepted!
An Eagle Strike-91 emerged from the Phalanx's strafing, jumped from the water, dived down, and directly pierced the phased array radar antenna of a Ticonderoga-class ship.
This is a missile with an anti-radiation seeker, which only recognizes the strongest radiation source!
"Boom!" The missile completely penetrated the bridge of the Ticonderoga-class ship, and then, the unburned fuel exploded together with the warhead. In an instant, the front half of the bridge disappeared in an instant.
The fire spread rapidly on this cruiser. Like the Shelfid, the Ticonderoga-class used a large amount of aluminum alloy materials to manufacture the upper structure in order to reduce weight. Now, these aluminum alloys are burning rapidly!
"Boom!" The unfortunate cruiser was hit by the second anti-ship Eagle Strike-91 missile, which hit the part above the waterline. The seawater rushed in frantically, the fire was extinguished, and the cruiser sank.
The anti-ship missiles that broke through the air defense system of the aircraft carrier formation brought the aircraft carrier formation a rain of death!
There were a total of 16 missiles that broke through the air defense system and the Phalanx system, and roared for revenge!
The Nimitz aircraft carrier, the second-generation nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the Americans, and also an aircraft carrier with a displacement of more than 90,000 tons, ushered in the most terrible day at this time. (To be continued ~^~)
