Chapter 361: watchtower

At the airport west of Ossa, under the huge Tu-22m bomber, ground crews are using a special mounted vehicle to mount the air-launched anti-ship missile that has just been produced on this extremely fast bomber.

The Kh-22 missile is huge in size and time-consuming to mount. This kind of anti-ship missile developed and produced by the former Soviet Union, to put it bluntly, is almost an aircraft equipped with a guidance device.

The anti-ship missile weighing close to 6 tons can be equipped with a warhead weighing more than one ton, which can guarantee the destruction of any kind of warship. It can fly to more than 4 times the speed of sound, so intercepting such missiles is almost impossible.

Especially for demons, their magical defense barriers are almost powerless against attacks of this speed.

"Be careful! Be careful! Check every connection point! Missiles and bombers are very sophisticated equipment! You must be very careful!" A ground crew officer repeatedly emphasized the safety operation specifications.

He must check every link and keep the entire aircraft and the entire missile operating normally. As weapons become more sophisticated, this kind of inspection work has become more and more.

The current missiles are expensive and extremely complex, and a slight mistake will result in hundreds of thousands of gold coins being wasted. In order to avoid this loss, strict operating rules and regulations are an indispensable reference.

All the Tu-22m bombers deployed here are about to take off. The anti-ship missiles they carry will ensure the destruction of at least 10 demon warships and continue to reduce the number advantage of the demon fleet.

"Notify the pilots that they can take off at any time!" After touching the bolts fixing the missile with his hand and confirming the strength of the fixing, the ground crew commander gave a thumbs up to the men on the side, indicating that they are not working. There are any problems.

Soon, these bombers will take off with anti-ship missiles, arrive at the battlefield and then easily kill the demon warships.

Before these bombers took off, the more advanced f-15 fighter jets had already formed two huge formations with the f-16 fighter jets for air combat.

Sitting in the F-15 fighter plane, Oakland is not spacious, but in a reasonably designed cockpit, monitoring various battlefield information on the screen.

There are identification signals on the radar screen to distinguish the position of the enemy and his own. He can easily distinguish the friendly forces that are fighting with the enemy.

Advanced electronic equipment allows him to firmly grasp the situation over the battlefield, and next to his cockpit is sprayed with his dazzling record. Today, it is clear that his record has a chance to add some more.

"I can't believe it. This cabin makes me feel extremely unreal." Orange said to his wingman over the radio with emotion.

As an ace pilot, he initially flew a p-51 Mustang fighter. Later, he was specially transferred back from the front line and began to fly the f-15 fighter in a simulated flight until a few months ago, when he received the f-15 fighter.

If it were not for the Magic Ball of Knowledge, he might not have been able to completely control this sophisticated and sophisticated advanced fighter jet.

There are hundreds of operating buttons on this aircraft, and two extremely complex engines. The most exaggerated is that this is not the most powerful part of the f-15 fighter.

The most powerful thing is that this fighter has a complete combat data link. This data link is the key to the f-15 fighter's real surpassing of the MiG-21 fighter.

With this command system, the f-15 fighter can control battlefield information, complete the most reasonable tactical scheduling arrangements, and easily attack the enemy's weaknesses in the most vulnerable places of the enemy.

"The MiG squadron is almost out of ammunition! The rest is left to us, and the f-16 squadron!" Orange's wingman saw the information on the screen and calmly answered.

Oak maintained his altitude, then checked the status of the data link, looked at the wingman flying next to him, and confirmed: "In a few minutes, we will enter the combat airspace! Are you ready? ."

"Report to the lead plane! The missile state self-check is complete, there is no abnormal situation! I am ready!" The wingman pilot Jack checked the weapon system and reported.

Although both people like to make two jokes when they are relaxing, they have never been sloppy about this kind of formal preparation for battle.

At this time sloppy is irresponsible for one's own life. Casually at this time, that is joking with your own life.

"Turn on the insurance, we will enter the war zone in one minute! Call the ground tower! Call the ground tower! I am the Hunter 1! I am the Hunter 1! Apply for the transfer of dispatching command!" Orange changed the communication channel, Opened the mouth to apply.

The order of the ground tower soon came from the headset: "Approve the application! After entering the theater, the command of the F-15 hunting squadron will be transferred to the air command center!"

"Hunter Squadron! Hunter Squadron! I'm Compound Eye No. 2! I'm Compound Eye No. 2! Take over your command! The password is 458911, over!" After confirming the ground tower, another voice was in Oak's There was a ring in the headphones.

An e-3 watchtower early warning aircraft modified from Boeing 707 that has been hovering at the edge of the theater is the data terminal of the Airland Hill Air Force battlefield command system. It can be said to be a radar flying thousands of meters in the air. It can be said to be a mobile computer full of hardware.

It only took a short time for the two e-3 early warning aircraft to develop and develop. After all, all the technology uses the radar technology that Ailanhill has stocked. Ailanhill has not slowed down its development, and computer technology is even more so. One of the development directions that Chris attaches the most importance to, the Boeing 707 has been in service for a long time, and the three pieces of technology add up, and the birth of the e-3 watchtower early warning aircraft is logical.

It is precisely because of the mobilization of the e-3 early warning aircraft that the MiG-21 fighter unit can fight in an orderly manner until now. It is also because of this early warning aircraft dispatching command that the air force of Ailan Hill has performed in this air combat. , Stronger than before in the Battle of Ferry.

The MiG-21 does not have the supporting data link support yet, so it has improved so much. With the support of the AWACS terminal, the F-15 and F-16 fighter jets with supporting software have improved even more.

"I'm the Hunter Squadron, I'm the Hunter Squadron, the password is confirmed! Hunter No. 1, follow the dispatch!" Orange looked down at the transparent pocket on the front of his thigh. The one was torn before taking off. Opened a note with the dispatch password, and responded with confirmation.

"I have transmitted the coordinates to you! You can use automatic allocation to determine your respective attack targets." On the early warning aircraft, sitting in front of a computer, a dispatcher with a headset stared at the various data on the screen. Said the coordinate parameter.

These are the most reasonable and effective attack methods that have been precisely calculated by the server carried on the plane.

Compared with letting the pilot make the decision by himself, this calculation of reasonable allocation of attack targets is more scientific and more direct.

"I have received it!" Looking at the battlefield situation that appeared on the screen in his plane, Orange felt that this new combat mode was too convenient.

He turned on the radar lock mode, and his radar could no longer lock other targets that were locked by the F-15. Compared with the previous manual division of attack targets, the time and energy saved are really too much.

"My radar has locked the target! You can launch missiles!" The voice of the wingman came over. At this time, Orange hadn't even seen any enemies.

The aim-120 air-to-air missile mounted on the f-15 fighter is a new type of air-to-air missile with small size and high power. It is also the main force of the standard air force beyond visual range operations for the Allan Hill Air Force for a long time in the future. missile.

This missile has undergone many optimizations, and has great advantages over the previous Sparrow missiles and the Phoenix missiles that have not been produced.

Because of the reduced weight and volume, this missile f-15 fighter can carry as many as 12, which also greatly improves the continuous combat capability of the f-15 fighter, which is almost qualitative compared to the MiG-21 fighter. leap.

As a typical representative of the third-generation aircraft, the air superiority fighter f-15 has better fighting performance than the second-generation MiG-21. Therefore, when it fights more demon air forces, its performance is more powerful.

At this moment, not only the f-15 fighters piloted by Oakland, but also a considerable number of f-16 fighters have entered the war zone.

These f-16 fighters can carry Sidewinder combat missiles, as well as aim-120, which can carry a full 6 aim-120 missiles at most, and their combat effectiveness can barely reach half of the f-15 fighters.

Ailan Hill’s air force combat tactics are almost the same as the US Air Force’s combat tactics. Their combat plan also relies on powerful f-15 fighters to disrupt the opponent’s defense, and then relies on f-16 follow-up to keep up with the attack and expand the results.

Dozens of third-generation fighters are dispatched, and the problems that can be solved are far more than dozens of second-generation fighter MiG-21s. Therefore, when these fighters appeared on the edge of the battlefield, the MiG fighters began to withdraw from the battlefield.

Some dragons tried to fly to Pilippi Island, but they were quickly dispersed by anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft missiles. After losing a few dragons and dozens of demon bats, the demon forces finally realized that the air defense of Piripi Island was stronger than they thought.

The air defense capability of the zsu-25-4 self-propelled air defense artillery is quite strong, coupled with the strong supplement of air defense missiles, provides a stable air defense cover for the Ailan Hill troops on the island.

Just after the Demon Air Force withdrew from Piripi Island and ended the first test attack, the fighter force led by Orange appeared on the flank of the Demon Air Force returning home.

The whistling sound of jet fighter engines echoed in the sky again, and on the sea, the naval gun duel between real men still continued...
