Chapter 1452: NATO Combined Fleet Crisis
The NATO Combined Fleet sounded the siren as soon as twelve radar signal sources appeared on the radar.
The data of the horizontal detection radar and the phased array radar merged, and the fire control radar immediately locked the radar signal that appeared.
For this obvious signal from an unfamiliar aircraft, it was still on the fringe of the fleet, and the fleet at war did not need any instructions at all. The commander of the peripheral destroyer weapon immediately ordered the launch of the anti-aircraft missile.
It takes at least ten seconds to discover, order the attack, and launch the missile.
The Aegis ships of the U.S. military can launch anti-aircraft missiles within ten seconds, but that is at a specific time, and it usually takes more than ten seconds under normal circumstances.
And this time is completely enough for normal non-stealth fighters, but for stealth fighters, this time is still too long.
When the fire control radar on the destroyer on the periphery of the US fleet was about to launch a missile, the target on the radar suddenly reported.
The Aurora bomber that completed the attack has adjusted its direction and fully turned on the afterburner. The four super-thrust engines instantly increased the speed of the bomber to supersonic speed, and the speed quickly reached 2.5 backsonic speed.
A deafening sonic boom erupted above the sea level, and layers of waves on the sea surface swayed with the sonic boom cloud.
The fuselages of the twelve Aurora bombers were stretched by nearly 30 centimeters at an ultra-fast speed, so as to stick to the sea surface at a height of nearly 50 meters, and quickly returned to the territory of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation.
The anti-aircraft missiles were about to attack, but the target suddenly disappeared. Almost all the destroyers on the periphery sent out inquiries, asking the early warning aircraft in the sky if they found a target.
The Eagle Eye early warning aircraft in the sky naturally did not find anything. The US Navy's carrier version of the Eagle Eye early warning aircraft has relatively old performance and has no ability to detect stealth aircraft at this stage.
There was no news from the early warning aircraft, but the thermal energy signal of the missile tail flame did not escape the infrared detection means of the early warning aircraft.
Such a thermal signal, if there were only one or two missiles, the infrared detection device on the early warning aircraft might miss it, but there were not one or two missiles on the sea, but nearly four hundred missiles.
And every missile is an anti-ship missile flying at supersonic speed. The ramjet engine of the missile needs to keep running to ensure the speed of the missile. Even if it is designed to reduce the infrared response, the missile is not a fighter or a bomber. It cannot hide its own infrared features well.
This is also an obvious deficiency of supersonic anti-ship missiles, while anti-ship missiles of the cruise missile type fly at subsonic speeds of hundreds of kilometers per hour, and their instinctive infrared signals are extremely low.
However, in the future, it will also be the era of supersonic missiles, but subsonic missiles also have their place.
Missiles are coming, but the radar on the warship can't see anything. Once a stealth supersonic missile is launched close to the warship, it will be disastrous.
The early warning aircraft continuously sent warnings, the altitude of the missile, the flight direction and speed of the missile.
However, the fire control radar on the fleet cannot be locked. It can only be guided by the data on the early warning aircraft, so that the radar system on the early warning aircraft can guide the intercepting missiles.
On the four destroyers in the outermost perimeter and the two destroyers in the second defensive circle, the fire from the missiles illuminated the entire destroyer.
Standard anti-aircraft missiles were quickly launched from the warship, and guided by the early warning aircraft, they flew towards a large number of anti-ship missiles approaching the sea.
A large number of standard anti-aircraft missiles were launched into the air as if they were free of money.
However, before the distance between the missiles of the two sides was shortened, the ramjet engine of a missile in the V-2FJ anti-ship missile group suddenly exploded with maximum power, as if the solid fuel in the missile was about to be consumed in an instant. It is supersonic speed. At this moment, it is more like installing propellers on Li Xuan's arrow, and the speed is even faster.
The missiles that left the group, near the tail nozzle of the ramjet engine, began to turn red under the high temperature, and the flight trajectory of the missiles also began to shake.
In the distance, the standard interceptor bomb of the US military was about to arrive. At this moment, the unstable missile exploded, with no flame or much noise.
This is an electromagnetic pulse bomb, and the moment the warhead explodes with the electronic pulse explosion, the invisible strong electromagnetic pulse radiation swayed away.
In a short moment, all the electronic systems on the US warship dozens of kilometers away experienced huge fluctuations, and ripples appeared on the display screen, and then there were pieces of snowflakes on the screen.
The early warning aircraft in the sky also completely lost the ability to track the target.
The standard interceptors of V-2FJ anti-ship missiles also lost their guidance to the target, and many missiles plunged into the sea directly under the strong electromagnetic pulse.
In the U.S. fleet, almost all electronic equipment is in a down state until the emergency system on the warship is turned on. At this time, the cameras on the warship can already capture the V-2FJ anti-ship missiles coming close to the sea. .
The Phalanx system on the warship also caught missiles that were close at hand.
However, in the face of a large number of incoming missiles, the effect of the Phalanx system is very limited.
The dense barrage was aimed at the incoming missiles, and two of the high-speed flying missiles directly crashed into the barrage, but the missiles coming from behind had already passed through the tomb raiders set up by the phalanx.
On the outermost destroyer, the piercing sirens sounded even more urgently, but it was already too late.
Once a guided missile destroyer loses its missile defense capability, it is almost equal to a living target at sea.
Amidst the shouts of panic, a supersonic anti-ship missile clinging to the sea directly penetrated into the middle of the bridge of the warship.
Moreover, when the missile was about to hit the target, the final trajectory adjustment was carried out. The missile was raised slightly, tilted downward, and drilled into the bottom of the warship from the middle of the bridge of the warship.
Under the high-speed kinetic energy, the missile passed through layers of internal decks of the warship, and even penetrated two watertight compartments.
If someone can be on the bottom of the warship at this time, they can clearly see that the missile has penetrated the entire warship, and the warhead of the missile even penetrates the hull. .
The entire warship was pierced by a huge force, and the huge pressure squeezed towards the middle. Under the squeezed and deformed armor, the bow and stern tilted several degrees to the sides.
What really destroyed this complete destroyer was the missile warhead that exploded underwater.
