Chapter 762 Locking the Wind

All radar performances have advantages and disadvantages. For example, if you want to lock onto a target, you need to project all radar beams onto the target, so that you can provide enough energy to guide your semi-active radar. At the same time, because of the large energy, it will trigger the opponent's radar warning receiver. Let the opponent know that if they don't get out of here, I will take action! To achieve the purpose of threatening the opponent in the confrontation.

However, in this case, the radar also loses its ability to alert the surrounding airspace and cannot separate certain beams of radar waves for scanning. This is like a flashlight with a focusing reflector at the back, which can focus the light beams together and see the illuminated object clearly, but the surroundings will be darker. If there is no spotlight, you can see more places, but they will all be blurry and not too far away.

The two planes that just appeared at high altitude were just baits, tempting our fighter planes to focus their attention there, and at the same time, creating an opportunity for a fighter plane here to penetrate at an ultra-low altitude!

Damn it!

If the early warning aircraft was launched at this time, it would definitely be able to discover this situation. However, although the aircraft carrier was equipped with a Yak-44 early warning aircraft, it was not cruising in the air.

The reason is very simple. Early warning aircraft are not usually deployed.

On an aircraft carrier, the early warning aircraft is a valuable aircraft, and its maintenance and upkeep in peacetime takes time. In wartime, the four early warning aircraft will take off in turn to provide 24-hour uninterrupted early warning. However, in peacetime, the early warning aircraft needs to be kept in the best condition, and the fleet's early warning is mainly achieved by ship-borne radar.

For example, now, there will be no fighting when crossing the Mediterranean Sea, so there is no need to take off the precious early warning aircraft. Moreover, taking off at this time will only leak the various radar parameters of our own early warning aircraft in vain, which is very disadvantageous.

It is precisely because of this that the other party was given an opportunity to take advantage of the loophole!

This enemy plane flying at an extremely low altitude was obviously simulating an attack on its own aircraft carrier!

Originally, the Soviet red hammer was ready to beat the Western Europeans at any time. When guarding the airspace on land, radar locking was just a prelude. The focus was still on close-range competition between each other. Soviet pilots relied on their fearless spirit and often used direct collision tactics to scare the Western Europeans.

However, it is different at sea! Aircraft carriers are mobile territories. At the same time, aircraft carriers are far more fragile than land. Therefore, malicious simulated flights on aircraft carriers are absolutely intolerable!

For example, when Andrei was flying a MiG-25 over an American aircraft carrier, the American fleet immediately opened fire back without hesitation. If Andrei had not flown fast, he would have been hit by the Brass Knight and crashed.

Now, this plane is flying at a very low altitude, and its hostility is obvious. Do we have to wait until the other party launches a missile before intercepting it? This is a joke!

After discovering the low-altitude aircraft, Christoph reported to the rear and switched the radar back to lock mode. He then shouted on the radio: "The enemy is 100 kilometers away from our fleet. Request an attack!"

"You can attack!" Seeing Andre nod, Victor gave the order. They were a hundred kilometers away, and if the Americans had launched Harpoon missiles, they would have been able to throw them over by now!

"Understood, attack immediately!" Christophe's finger pressed on the launch button. Under the wing, flames flickered, and an R-27 missile flew out with white smoke from the tail rocket engine!

The enemy is one hundred kilometers away from our aircraft carrier formation and only thirty kilometers away from us. They are in a commanding position and their shooting range is definitely within our reach!

The sea is rippling with blue waves, and the waves are two or three meters high. To fly at such a low altitude over the sea, one must have a fearless spirit!

At this time, the wings are swept back, and the rectangular air intake is constantly sucking in air, which enters the three-rotor engine at the back, fuels and burns, turning into surging thrust.

This is the most advanced combat attack aircraft in Europe! A multinational joint development of the Tornado! As a variable-sweep wing fighter, it has excellent aerodynamic performance and the best performance in all airspaces. For example, at ultra-low altitude, the atmospheric resistance is quite large. Ordinary aircraft can't fly to Mach 0.8 at all. However, this Tornado, with a huge auxiliary fuel tank and two anti-ship missiles mounted on the outside, can also fly to Mach 0.9!

The Soviet aircraft carriers came with bad intentions! The British Royal Air Force was no pushover either. Their simulated attack was actually a warning to the Soviets: don’t mess around. The South Atlantic has nothing to do with you!

Anyway, it was just a simulated attack, not a real war. At most, the diplomatic departments of the two countries would argue with each other afterwards. Moreover, the opponent's early warning aircraft did not take off, so theoretically, it would not be able to detect our side! What will happen when our fighter plane, carrying missiles, flies over the deck of the opponent's aircraft carrier? This news will definitely be on the headlines of the newspaper tomorrow! Although the Soviets built aircraft carriers, the Soviet navy of a century has a very poor foundation, which is not even a fraction of that of the British! In addition to advanced equipment, the quality and training of personnel are also very important! The British experience is extremely rich! The Soviet Union can't compare at all!

They were really close to success. If it was a MiG-23K flying in the sky, it would be impossible to switch modes quickly because the onboard radar appeared earlier and the processor was still an old model. However, the one in the sky now was the latest Su-27K. The radar antenna on the nose had a diameter of 980 mm and was more powerful. At the same time, due to the rapid progress of the Soviet Union in microelectronics technology in recent years, the latest processor was replaced with better performance, so it quickly discovered the fighter flying at a very low altitude!

When the sound of the radar warning receiver reached the ears of pilot Cruise, Cruise was stunned. The radar operator in the rear cabin said anxiously: "Damn it, we have been locked by the Soviet fighter! Quick, Cruise, let's get out of here immediately!"

The sound of the radar warning receiver quickly became sharp. Oh no, the other party has launched a missile!

Damn it! Our heavy fighter planes simply cannot fight against the enemy! At this moment, Cruise pressed the button and threw away the heavy auxiliary fuel tanks and anti-ship missiles mounted under the wings! Then, he did not pull up, but continued to descend!
