Babylonian Empire

Suddenly, a police report was displayed on the radar screen.

That shocking word indicated that an unknown target had appeared, but then, the screen became empty again, with nothing left.

what is that?He thought about it for a moment and decided it was just a false alarm.

Now, the wind and waves are relatively strong. It is very possible that a wind and wave is too big, and the radar regards it as an ultra-low-altitude aircraft, right?How could there be a plane in such a ghostly weather!

He very consciously ignored the echo, and he didn't see it clearly. It clearly showed that the false alarm caused by the wind and waves he thought was hundreds of meters high was probably a hurricane.

While U.S. Navy personnel were negligent, Iraqi Naval Air Forces had completed a simulated attack.As long as they press the button, although it is unrealistic to completely sink this aircraft carrier due to the Kevlar armor laid on the US aircraft carrier, it is still possible to make it lose its combat effectiveness.

The aircraft carrier is the giant of the sea. To attack this kind of warship, ordinary anti-ship missiles are still not powerful enough. Only the abnormal supersonic anti-ship missile of the Soviet Union is the nemesis.

If in normal times, after they made such a bold attack, the best choice is to run as fast as possible, as far as they can.But now, their main task has not been completed: skimming the deck of the US aircraft carrier at low altitude!

The JH-[-] was still flying at an ultra-low altitude, and they were getting closer and closer to the opponent's aircraft carrier formation.

In the case of extreme trust in the Aegis system, coupled with bad weather and a long distance, in order to hurry, the US aircraft carrier formation seems to have no need to take off an early warning plane, and they are all preparing for the upcoming exercise.

If it is in a war, any slight negligence may lead to catastrophic consequences, and now, the Americans are about to realize this.

After discussing the specific plan of the exercise, Ted turned his head and looked at the relatively empty deck of his own huge aircraft carrier. The aircraft carrier under his feet is a symbol of the powerful military strength of the United States!

On the deck, the staff is still busy, and the maintenance of the catapults has been completed. In high-intensity combat, the catapults need to be maintained basically once a week. This is also a disadvantage of the aircraft carrier using the catapults.

Suddenly, there was a characteristic roar on the sea in the distance. The staff were very familiar with this roar. It was the sound of a fighter plane.

what happened?Throughout today, they did not release a carrier-based aircraft. This aircraft is obviously not their own.

So, is it on the Kitty Hawk next door?Apparently not.

While wondering, those planes had already flown into their line of sight. From the perspective of the body, they were completely different from the planes of their carrier-based air wing!

In particular, two large missiles were mounted under the wings of those planes, which were clearly anti-ship missiles!

Suddenly, the people on the deck became anxious.

The air defense police siren sounded throughout the entire aircraft carrier, and Ted and Dave in the captain's room, through the portholes, had already seen the plane they had never seen before.

Today is a day that Imad has been talking about. When their four J-[-] fighter jets passed by the deck of the Carl-Vinson aircraft carrier, they could see that the panicked people below Man, he flapped his wings flamboyantly, and flew across the narrow deck at high speed.

The last JH-[-] recorded all this with photographic equipment. In particular, the US Navy on the deck was urgently pushing a Tomcat fighter jet from the parking area to the catapult.

The reaction on the Carl Vinson aircraft carrier was very fast. A Tomcat fighter plane they placed aside was quickly preparing for departure. Although it only had two Sidewinder missiles mounted, the pilot ran quickly. The plane, then, was dragged out of the parking area, and quickly ejected from the catapult. It took less than 2 minutes in total.One hundred and one seconds to be exact.

However, when the Tomcat fighter plane flew away from the deck, the few planes that violated their sky had disappeared out of sight.

The JH-100 made an ultra-low-altitude penetration at a speed of Mach 20. In more than [-] seconds, they had already flown more than [-] kilometers away. The pilot of the Tomcat fighter spotted them on the radar, but at this time, they locked on to the other party, and there was no one there. Meaning, the Tomcat fighter jet has carried out many expulsion missions, and this expulsion mission has been considered completed.

Chapter One Thousand and Thirteen Naval Exercises

Known as the most powerful navy in the world, it is still a double aircraft carrier formation, and the opponent flies over its own aircraft carrier!This is simply unimaginable, what did the Aegis battleship do?

After the Tomcat fighter took off, an E-2 aircraft also took off to monitor the situation in the low altitude, but it only saw the four light spots flying towards the Gulf of Oman. There is no doubt that it was Iraq. fighter.

If they were invaded by Soviet aviation, they would still accept it. The Iraqi Navy, which they considered to be a second-rate army, actually made such a bold move, which made the US Navy even more unacceptable.

If it is said that the Iraqi navy had already embarrassed them by holding the exercise in advance, then this time the Iraqi air force dared to take the initiative to provoke, which is simply unacceptable to them.

The two anti-ship missiles under the wings are simply a demonstration against them.

Moreover, at a distance of more than 1000 kilometers, the Iraqi air force was able to find them in the vast sea, which shows that the combat effectiveness of the Iraqi army has been greatly improved.

In addition to being shocked and dissatisfied, they also began to be cautious. The carrier-based aircraft took off, and the Hawkeye early warning aircraft was also monitoring in the air, gradually approaching the Gulf of Oman.

June 1988, 6.

Outside the Gulf of Oman, a large-scale military exercise is gradually unfolding. The main force of the exercise is the destroyer with a displacement of more than 8000 tons.

In the sky, an Iraqi Navy Super Hornet helicopter flies outside the exercise area.

On the helicopter, military attaches from various countries were invited to observe the exercise up close.After receiving the invitation from Iraq, all countries sent their military attaches there immediately. Of course, what they were most interested in was the Hyundai-class ship detained by the Iraqi Navy.

Looking at the whole world, I am afraid that only Iraq has the courage to detain the Soviet warship, and keep it for its own use in a big way. Other countries are also a little tempted. Now, the Soviet Union owes a lot of debts to Western Europe. , also imitating Iraq, detaining a Soviet warship?

The largest warship is eye-catching, while the smallest missile boat has also attracted the attention of many people, because the shape of that missile boat is too strange.

"Why is that warship so strange in shape?" said a British military observer.

"That's the latest guided missile boat of our Iraqi Navy." On the Super Hornet helicopter, the Iraqi representative explained: "The shape of this warship is completely modeled after reflecting radar waves. When it shoots over, it will reflect the radar waves in another direction, thereby reducing the probability of being detected by radar, and the surface is coated with radar-absorbing paint."

Stealth warship?Now, France's Lafayette class has begun to enter the final design stage, and the construction of the first boat began in 90. However, a country like Iraq, with such scientific research conditions, can actually develop a stealth warship?Although it is only a small missile boat, this is already a leapfrog development.

"It's not just radar stealth." The representative of Iraq continued to explain: "Our warship also adopts the method of reducing noise and cooling the exhaust system through sea water. In addition to radar stealth, it also has low infrared and acoustic special xìng."

The concept of Iraq is always so advanced.Other military observers sighed in their hearts, when did the Iraqis develop to this level?

"How high is the stealth performance of this missile boat?" A Frenchman asked.

"If our red-star missile boat can be detected by the opponent at a distance of [-] kilometers, then our missile boat can be completely hidden from the opponent's detection at a distance of [-] kilometers." Iraqi commentator Said.

The voice is not loud, but it shocked other people. If this missile boat in Iraq is really so magical, in the Persian Gulf area and outside the Gulf of Oman, this kind of missile boat can completely kill large warships when used to fight guerrillas. .

"This missile boat is loaded with an anti-ship missile developed by Iraq itself, with a range of [-] kilometers." The Iraqi narrator continued.

This time, Iraq did not conceal its armed force at all. On the contrary, it was somewhat exaggerated. In fact, there are still some problems that have not been solved for the first stealth missile boat to enter service, especially the so-called stealth coating, which is still in the development stage.Therefore, the construction of the No. [-] boat was relatively delayed.

However, these foreigners obviously didn't know it. After hearing the commentary from the Iraqi narrator and looking at the appearance, they thought that Iraq had really developed a world-class stealth ship.

This small stealth missile boat, these observers immediately saw its use, it can be used as a carrier of anti-ship missiles to attack aircraft carrier formations!

Just as they were thinking, they saw that the narrator received a message, and then the narrator excitedly announced to them: the largest warship below is about to launch a supersonic anti-ship missile!

At present, there is no missile in the West that is supersonic, because supersonic missiles need a combined ramjet engine, and all missiles in the West are subsonic. In this regard, the Soviet Union is far ahead.

Western countries only discovered the launch of this missile in the previous Soviet exercises. At that time, they were shocked by the speed of this missile. This missile can actually fly at a speed of Mach 2.4!

Generally speaking, shipborne radars can detect sea-skimming targets at a distance of no more than 30 kilometers, because the flight speed of this type of missile is three to four times that of subsonic missiles common in the West.Subsonic missiles need to fly for about [-] seconds within this distance, and the US Aegis system can fully intercept them.And this kind of supersonic missile only takes [-] seconds to discover, lock, and attack, and the time left for them to react is only a dozen seconds. In other words, the United States can hardly respond to this kind of missile.

In the Soviet Union, this kind of missile was called Sandfly, while in the West, it was named Sunburn, as if the sun was baking the earth. This kind of missile would test the US Navy's air defense system at any time.

But now, Iraq's test of this kind of missile obviously has a deeper meaning.

In the chimney of Hyundai Unforgettable, huge black smoke keeps coming out. This is also the defect of the boiler that burns heavy oil. It seems to be the same as in World War II. The smoke is continuously discharged into the air, slowly fades, and finally disappears. .

Inside the bridge, Lieutenant Colonel Abdul Wahid Thoma looked calm and gave orders one by one.

On the top of the bridge, there is a pair of radars like a big bell, which are the eyes of the sandfly missile, the "Letai" anti-ship missile guidance radar.At this time, this radar was aiming at a target ship a hundred kilometers away.
