Rise of the Wasteland Chapter 1428: Low-altitude raid
Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
The west coast of Mexico is indeed the range of activities of the aircraft carrier Kennedy in the recent period. Katrina is here to command the carrier-based aircraft wing to repeatedly attack the Mexican government forces. But this time Lieutenant Colonel Crowder led the team but came to nothing.
Where did the aircraft carrier go? Ran away!
Zhou Qingfeng decided to take two anti-ship missiles to eliminate the ‘Arleigh Burke’ that shelled Havana, and decided to bring another EA-18G in order to increase the safety factor. This time the aircraft carrier left the west coast of Mexico because of this EA-18G.
'Roarer' is good, advanced, powerful, mysterious, and daunting. It is the only three-generation aircraft that can fight the F-22 in the US military exercise. But this plane has a problem brought out of the mother's womb-it is a cute little short leg!
When it comes to the short legs of the F-18 series, the US Navy is about to cry and faint. When the F-14 was forced to retire, the navy pilots wished to hang the waste masters on Capitol Hill. Because the carrier-based aircraft must be heavy-duty, two light-duty aircraft are not as heavy as one.
The aircraft carrier is relying on the aircraft to support the aircraft. The F-14 can fly outside the 400-kilometer aircraft carrier warning circle for a long time, and it is almost home for the F-18 to go out for a circle. This not only does not act as a deterrent, but also increases the work intensity of the aircraft carrier ground crew.
For this reason, the US Navy forced McDonnell Douglas to enlarge the "Bumblebee" into a "Super Bumblebee". However, "there is more water in the face and more water in the face." This short leg cannot be cured.
EA-18G is also improved from ‘Super Hornet’ and still has short legs, unable to complete the mission of flying back to Havana from the west coast of Mexico.
For this reason, after setting the combat plan, Zhou Qingfeng drove the J-15 with EA-18G to Guantánamo Bay for refueling. He also ordered the aircraft carrier to maneuver at high speed, and then returned to the Caribbean by the Panama Canal. In this case, Lieutenant Colonel Claude was naturally empty.
At the same time as Lieutenant Colonel Claude returned home, he brought two auxiliary fuel tanks and the three electronic pod "Roarers" took off from Guantánamo Bay. Chen Rui, who was in charge of the pilot, flew directly to high altitude, and the Katrina in the back seat opened the wingtip tactical receiver to start wireless monitoring.
Compared with active radar scanning, passive wireless monitoring can detect targets more covertly. The current electromagnetic environment is quite clean and can find some very obvious signals at long distances. For example, a radar beam reflected from a distance.
"Victor, there is something strange." Katrina said on the radio.
The J-15 driven by Zhou Qingfeng followed "Roarer" and heard "RRH" after Katrina's call, "What's the strange thing?"
"I received the E-3's external radar signal and its radio communication. But do you know where it is going?" Katrina bought a pass.
"Is it not in the Florida Strait?"
"No, it is in the Yucatan Peninsula."
"His ..., the **** of Enclave are so bold, they are going to our aircraft carrier."
Zhou Qingfeng was also shocked by the cold sweat, and could not imagine that he temporarily escaped the aircraft carrier. After the cold sweat, he asked excitedly: "E-3 is not in the Florida Strait, so no one in the Enclave fleet blocked at the gate of Havana will protect their sky."
"Not necessarily, there will be at least two F-16s."
"This is better than an early warning aircraft facing a large disc. Now we can launch an attack at close range. We must give Enclave warships a surprise!"
Without the nasty early warning aircraft staring, the difficulty of Zhou Qingfeng's operations is greatly reduced. He immediately decided to start low-altitude penetration after approaching Havana for 400 kilometers, pulling it closer to launching 'Eagle Strike-12' within 100 kilometers.
At the moment, outside the port of Havana, the destroyer ‘Arleigh Burke’ class ‘Black’ is bombarding Havana ’s urban area with ship guns. At present, the shelling has lasted for two days, and the entire government and military system of the Aurora Legion is almost destroyed.
Enclave does not want to take over a mess, but still retains the residential area and industrial and commercial system of Havana, so as to maximize the benefits. As for the ‘Cat ’s Claw Club’ in the urban area, the officers and men on the warship are even reluctant to hurt Mao.
The ‘Black’ was even broadcast publicly on civilian radio frequencies, asking residents in the city of Havana to remain stable and maintain order, and Enclave would rescue them from the evil Aurora Legion claws immediately.
In the battle room of the ‘Black’, the captain was pulling the star officer to play cards, and the controller of the radar department was even chatting with people, not even staring at the radar screen. Everyone on board felt that there were two F-16s circling on top of his head.
However, it is impossible for the F-16 to hover all the time. After flying for some time, it returned to the Air Force Base in Florida.
Anyway, these two days Aurora Legion were ‘no fight, no scolding’, and a few special forces that went ashore also reported that ‘the entire city was paralyzed and the high-level legions of the regiment went missing’.
It looks like the victory is set, isn't it?
The radar operator is telling jokes, and haha glanced across the monitoring screen. I only saw a bright spot on the screen about two hundred kilometers away. He frowned and muttered: "How can the F-16 on our head run so far? There is only one left."
With doubts in his mind, the radar operator asked the communications officer to ask the pilot above what was going on? Just wait for the communication frequency to be connected. The F-16 pilot said, "The fuel is going to run out, and the next wave will come in an hour."
No!
What is this one from the south?
"Captain, I may have found an enemy plane!" The radar operator shouted excitedly, frightening a few senior officers who were playing cards in the war room.
Everyone heard the enemy plane and everyone panicked. The captain of the "Black" roared, "Start the anti-aircraft plan, and hit it after targeting."
Four fighter squadrons were cut off four fighters at once, and the unlucky loss became a laughing stock within Enclave. But the fleet now finds the enemy planes, not as messy as the Air Force.
The radar department on the warship was about to return to wartime, but they soon discovered that their fire control radar was electromagnetically suppressed. A group of people exclaimed, ‘we ca n’t target.’
Not only did the radar fail to target, but the communications department on the warship also found that the spectrum it was using was interfered with. The communication data link is full of noise, and the opponent's move looks like targeted interference with his own equipment.
At the time of the panic, the radar department once again heard a horrified shout, "The missile is coming. It is only 30 kilometers away from us, the speed reaches Mach 4, and it has entered the terminal sprint."
This is a typical low-altitude penetration tactic, although this tactic is no longer effective in the era of early warning aircraft and phased array radar. But now the AWACS is not there.
The air defense department on the ship will be a mess. At this moment of life and death, almost no one responded correctly. It takes three years for a normal naval warship to form effective combat effectiveness, but the navy reorganized by Enclave only became a military for a year, far from being able to deal with the enemy calmly.
Everyone on the ship can only watch the radar screen. The two bright spots are approaching at high speed until they collide with their own warship.
