Red Soviet Union

Chapter 105 The Soviet reconnaissance plane

Now, the Aegis system, which the U.S. Navy is proud of, has not yet completed its final integration. The Alan-Sumner-class destroyers and Keeling-class destroyers that have been built during World War II are still in large numbers in the U.S. Navy. The Allen-Sumner-class destroyers have been gradually withdrawn from active service, and most of the Keeling-class destroyers remaining in the U.S. Navy have been refitted and equipped with STIR radar and Sea Sparrow anti-aircraft missiles. It is a pity that the sparrow missiles are not yet mature, and the sky over the Vietnam battlefield is simply uncontrolled rockets, which have not been transferred to warships at this time.

As for the standard missiles with fairly high precision in later generations, it is even more invisible. Therefore, the main force of the air defense of American warships is the shipborne air defense system developed in order to deal with the Japanese kamikaze suicide planes during World War II.

Among them are three missile systems: Beagle, Tatar, and Brass Knight, which form the first generation of surface defense ship-to-air missile systems in the United States. Since the first letter of the English names of the three models starts with T, so There is another commonly known as the three T ship-to-air missile system.

Among them, the Beagle and the Tatar are medium-range and short-range missiles, with a shooting height of almost 10,000 meters, while the Brass Knight is a big guy with a ramjet.

The Brass Knight air defense missile, originally code-named SAM-N-6, was later changed to RIM-8. This is the earliest and most powerful long-range, medium and high-altitude shipborne air defense missile system developed by the U.S. Navy. It is mainly used for fleet air defense. to deal with various types of aircraft attacks. The maximum range reaches 120 kilometers, and the shooting height reaches 3 to 26.5 kilometers.

However, for the MiG-25, which can easily climb to an altitude of 30,000 meters, all the anti-aircraft missiles of these American fleets are out of reach. This is what Andrei can boldly use the MiG-25 to detect. reason.

In order to prevent threats, the US aircraft carrier formation this time includes two cruisers equipped with Brass Knight missiles, the CG-11 Chicago heavy cruiser and the CLG-5 Oklahoma missile cruiser.

At this time, on the Chicago ship at the forefront of the formation, the SPS-43 search radar was undertaking the main air-to-air search mission of the formation. Unfortunately, the farthest search distance of this type of radar is no more than 200 kilometers, and the air-to-air surveillance is limited. The detection distance of 400 kilometers to the Aegis system of later generations is very far behind.

Therefore, the formation did not find the target, but the base in Hokkaido found an aircraft flying over Sakhalin Island. Judging from the radar reflection wave of the other party, the echo was very large, it should be a large aircraft, such as The Tu-95RT Bear-D reconnaissance plane, looking at the opponent's flight route, is likely to go to the southern waters of Guohou Island to find trouble with its own aircraft carrier formation.

Good job! Colonel Ted said: A Soviet reconnaissance plane dares to come to our aircraft carrier formation to make trouble! We might as well knock it down!

Last year, the U.S. Air Force was disgraced. An EP-3 reconnaissance plane was knocked down by the Soviets, and it was forced to land at the Soviet base. After that, the Soviets did not admit it and refused to hand over the reconnaissance plane and the personnel on it. , These all make Americans hate it, and now, the chance for revenge has finally come!

The Soviets actually took off reconnaissance planes, came to scout their own aircraft carrier formation, and simply knocked the opponent down!

Mao Xiong is very sturdy, and his own pilots are not vegetarians!

Hearing Colonel Ted's words, Lieutenant General Jonard frowned, might this ruin his own plan? However, it seems that it doesn't matter. If the Soviet planes all flew over their heads, and they remained indifferent, then it would be a disgrace to the US Navy.

Mr. Lieutenant General, what do you think? Captain Steve, the captain of the aircraft carrier, asked.

I am not involved in this specific combat operation, which belongs to fleet air defense, and it is up to you to decide. Lieutenant General Jonard said.

Yes. Colonel Steve said, Attention deck,

Catapult two Tomcats! Heading due north, ready to intercept! The power compartment, the aircraft carrier speed up, accelerate to 20 knots, all warships pay attention, anti-aircraft missiles are ready!

Dry! It is finally time to fight the Soviets at sea. Everyone is very excited. This exercise, there is not even a blue army, it is too boring. This flying Soviet reconnaissance plane is simply our own appetizer !

Following his orders, the entire formation accelerated eastward, thick black smoke billowed from the carrier's boiler, and the speed continued to increase.

The Kitty Hawk is not a modified cargo of the World War II aircraft carrier, this is a genuine aircraft carrier built with the thinking after World War II! The catapults laid out can completely make heavy air fighters like the Tomcat take off. However, the weather is too bad now. In order for the Tomcat to take off safely, the aircraft carrier still needs to provide a larger initial speed and increase the deck wind. However, as the speed increases, the warship will shake violently. In this case, twenty knots is the best choice.

The speed of the cruise just now was only fifteen knots. Now, with the speed of the aircraft carrier, the crew on the deck began to get busy.

From the parking area on the side of the bridge, two Tomcat fighter jets were dragged by, deck personnel in various colors were working intensely.

The wing slowly turned forward and reached the position of the minimum sweep angle. Various rudder surfaces were rotated, check whether the rudder surfaces are normal, and then look at the huge Phoenix missile mounted under the belly, which has been correctly connected, and then , pulled the Tomcat to the catapult in the take-off area, fixed the front wheel, and the rear spoiler was slowly rising.

In the cockpit, Major Pilot George of the 27th Fighter Squadron of the 5th Carrier Air Wing of the United States glanced at Captain William, the wingman on another catapult next to him, stretched out his hand and clenched it into a fist.

The other party also did the same.

Kitty, Kitty, Boxer asks to take off, George shouted over the radio.

You can take off, intercept the mission, there is no early warning aircraft, keep your eyes open. The order came from the ear.

Received. George looked at the gestures of the people on the ground and returned a familiar signal. Then, he adjusted the thrust of the two TF30 engines at the back to the maximum.

When the leader's body squatted down and his arms moved forward, George felt a huge thrust, and for a moment, there was a sense of dizziness.

Surrounded by steam on the aircraft carrier, the huge Tomcat fighter accelerated away from the deck under the combined action of its own power and catapult. When it left the runway, the fuselage first fell down and then flew again.

Take off, meet the enemy!
