Chapter 1729 A Large Number of Targets (Plus 2)
The threat came from the west, the Canadian aviation base and the Greenland aviation base, so after taking off, Sea Eye 1 flew forward, along the front of its own route, and flew back and forth 100 nautical miles away from the aircraft carrier formation. A patrolling route.
The HS129's body is actually not the most perfect. If there is a larger body that can provide more fuel, the air time should be longer. Now, they can only be 100 nautical miles in front of the aircraft carrier formation after takeoff. Besides, after patrolling for an hour, it's time to return.
The weather conditions in the past few days have been good. The waves on the sea surface are less than one meter high and will not interfere with the radar echo. The radar operator's eyes have been fixed on the screen in front of him.
His cockpit was originally small, and after turning on the radar, he covered the top visor, and the entire interior of the cockpit was almost black, only the screen was flashing green light.
Time is passing little by little.
"Prepare for the last turnaround flight," said the pilot ahead. "We're running out of fuel, and it's time to return."
He looked up and looked around him, two FW190 fighter jets passing by at high speed.
After all, AWACS is a new thing, and it may break down. It is absolutely unrealistic to put all early warnings on AWACS. Therefore, around the fleet, there are escorting fighter jets, which are constantly conducting combat patrols.
Now in the high latitudes, the sun here is quite dazzling, which caused a big problem for the pilot. Looking down, there were sparkling waves everywhere, and it was difficult to distinguish the aircraft in the distance.
Lieutenant Colonel Emile Lange was driving his FW190 fighter jet and looked at the early warning aircraft flying by with special eyes. That thing looked bloated and brought a rapid decline in flight performance. It was slow, almost like a clown.
Is that thing really amazing? After going back, you can chat with your friends, feel yourself, and give it the nickname of pregnant women.
Thinking about it, Lieutenant Colonel Lange shook the wing and signaled to his wingman. No problem was found in this airspace, so let's look in another direction.
At this moment, suddenly, the radar operator saw countless bright spots appearing on his screen, approaching from the front of the screen towards the center of the screen.
Is it ice floes?
In the North Atlantic, there are often ice floes floating over from the North Pole. Due to the huge size of the ice floes, they will appear on the radar screen, causing erroneous judgments.
No, it's not floating ice, if it were floating ice, it couldn't move so fast!
Thinking of this, he pressed the radio switch on his chest: "Haiyan No. 1 report, Haiyan No. 1 report, 200 nautical miles away from my fleet, right in front of the route, a large number of aircraft groups appeared, repeat, at six o'clock. , 200 nautical miles, a large group of unidentified aircraft."
Haiyan No. 1 found a large number of flying targets, and the other party came from ultra-low altitude!
Moreover, as the other party continued to fly and appeared within the scanning range of the radar, there were more and more bright spots on the screen, and soon they were densely packed and could not be distinguished on the screen.
For radar, in addition to being able to see, what is more important is the data processing capability of the radar. Many countries in later generations failed to develop early warning aircraft because the data processing capability was not strong enough.
The early warning aircraft of this era has no data processing ability at all. It should not be called an early warning aircraft, but an airborne radar warning aircraft, which is just to put the radar into the sky, without any control ability.
At present, the Navy's data link system is still under development. If there is a data link, the data link through the UHF band can be transmitted to the intelligence processing center of the surface warship, and then the commander on the ship can read the radar data and guide the aircraft. It is obviously faster to intercept the target, but unfortunately, there is no such ability yet.
At the same time, this kind of radar has only two-dimensional detection capability and cannot obtain the height information of the target. It only sees a large number of targets flying over. If such an obvious target is flying from high altitude, it must have been detected by the fleet. Now that the fleet has not responded, it must have flown over at a low altitude.
As long as it's not ice floes, it's definitely an enemy plane!
Through the radio, the early warning information of Haiyan 1 was quickly transmitted back to the fleet, and at the same time, the fleet responded quickly.
Immediately send nearby fighter jets on patrol to make a visual judgment, and at the same time, the aircraft carrier is ready to release the carrier-based aircraft!
A sharp alarm sounded on the aircraft carriers. When they heard this sound, all the pilots were inexplicably excited. They were in the bridge and had already put on their flying gear. With the sound of the alarm, They ran to their landline.
The highest-level warning signal will be dispatched at any time, and they must be prepared!
Run up to your own fighter plane, and then, with the help of the deck staff, start your own engine, the propeller in front, and turn it quickly, the entire deck is full of black smoke from the engine starting, and there is a huge roar everywhere.
As long as the command comes from the headset, they can release the brakes, push the throttle, and take off from the angled deck of the aircraft carrier.
"Isn't my illness serious?" Alcatel asked Lisa aboard the Munich. After a long time, he remembered that he had come to see a doctor.
At this point, Lisa has also returned to normal. She gave Alcatel a simple check: "It's not serious, it won't affect your flight, just pay attention to rest and drink plenty of water."
Just then, the alarm sounded.
The moment he heard the sound, Alcatel was like a different person. He walked fast, ran outside, opened the door, and disappeared like a gust of wind.
Looking at Alcatel's back, a flash of disappointment flashed in Lisa's eyes. No matter how sweet words he just said, as long as the battle command came, he would immediately turn around and leave without hesitation. The fighter's feelings are deep, even if you say goodbye to yourself, or even make eye contact!
Thinking of this, Lisa couldn't help stamping her feet. Hmph, next time I come to find myself, I have to have a good talk with him. I just said that I want to get married, and I forgot about myself in a blink of an eye. This is not good!
Lisa was of course angry at this time.
She also misses Alcatel every day. Now that she sees Alcatel, she is also extremely happy. Who knows, this happiness is so short-lived.
Lisa's feeling at this time is that of a spring girl.
Alcatel ran onto the bridge and changed into a flight suit. When he ran to the deck, he saw a large number of fighter planes vacating from the angled deck one by one.
American fighter jets!
Lieutenant Colonel Emile Lange took his own wingman, and after receiving the news, he flew forward at full speed immediately. Soon, he captured clear bright spots one by one from the sparkling sea, and it turned out to be American. Fighter unit!
