Chapter 125 The outcome is undecided

Missiles are already troublesome enough. The "bear" and "counter-fire" reconnaissance aircraft that are everywhere are sometimes even more unpredictable.

Once the Hawkeye did not stare at any sea area, the Russian reconnaissance plane that sneaked in and smelled the breath of warships would call a large number of long-range bombers and threw an astonishing number of anti-ship missiles. To completely get rid of this trouble, the Americans actually just need to keep the fleet away from the coastline. But in today's decisive battle, the Russians are not fools. Who would run to the depths of the ocean to decide the outcome of the world's number one navy?

Faced with the strategic dilemma, u.s.navy no longer has the foundation for slow competition with his opponents. A battle that is on the verge of Kanchakaga and is not too far from Aleutian is the bottom line for both sides to test each other.

With the efforts of the "Tomcat", after a volley of missiles, dozens of dazzling fires quickly burst into the sky.

The ballistic KSR-5 missile, although it is very fast, is still easily intercepted by the Aim-54c; the TWS mode is inherently unable to guarantee that all "Immortal Birds" will be guided by the target. Thirty-six "Immortal Birds" will be launched. In addition to a few faulty bombs, the interception success rate of "King Fish" is about 80%. The shield created by the United States is indeed quite good.

After a wave of "Immortal Birds" sprinting, there were only more than twenty "king fish" that were sprinting violently with tail flames in the sky. This number is still quite large, but it is within the limit that the "Aegis" system can cope with.

In addition, the "Flying Angel" squadron in the inner defense circle will also take action to launch the Aim-120b missile at a distance of 200 kilometers to conduct interception; the warhead of the "Slime" missile is only one-third of that of the "Immortal Bird", but the guidance accuracy is higher. It is not difficult to fall the "King Fish". Perhaps this wave of missiles will be shot down before entering the interception range of the Japanese M-66 "standard" missile.

The battlefield situation is roughly like this. Next, based on the observation and calculation of e-2c "Hawkeye", the command center quickly eliminated this wave of threats from "king fish".

It was predicted that the ballistics were still quite far from the coordinates of the aircraft carrier battle group. It realized that the Russians were just bluffing and using a large number of anti-ship missiles to "scar" themselves. William Pratt, who was in charge of the "Roosevelt", did not get angry. After all, after receiving the message of "counter-fire launching missiles", the commanders were indeed very nervous. No matter what, the missiles were always not bad when they fell on their heads.

Combining the information about the reconnaissance platform before it was displayed on the combat situation chart, the battle group command quickly confirmed that the threat was temporarily lifted.

In addition to the western waters where air strikes are still underway, Russian fighter jets, bombers, or long-range reconnaissance aircraft are not found everywhere. Then, even if the next wave of "counter-fire" by Ivans is on the road, it is at least 700 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier battle group and has not yet entered the sight of "Hawkeye".

The two sides broke out in a decisive battle, and the defense in the first round of u.s.navy was basically successful.

After the efforts of the VF-21 squadron, the group of "King Fish" anti-ship missiles that the "Immortal Bird" did not stop were still piercing. However, at this time, not only the "Super Hornet" fighter jets of the VFA-122 squadron had successfully filled up. The e-2c "Hawkeye" early warning aircraft hovering in the inner defense circle also solved the ballistics of the incoming missiles, and found that these scary big guys did not aim at the aircraft carrier battle group at all, but were just aiming at an empty sea area to fly.

The American intelligence work for the heavy anti-ship missiles of the Red Navy was not very good. Although the lack of guided weapons guided by aircraft could not easily change the ballistic, the Flying Angel Squadron's F/A-18e/f still locked the target one by one, implemented intensive "slammer" interception, and tried to intercept all missiles outside the air defense kill zone of surface ships.

The missiles flew rapidly and exploded everywhere. A life-and-death battle between spears and shields was still good for the time being.

Faced with multiple batches of fighter jets intercepted in multiple directions, dozens of KSR-5s roared successfully, and entered the firepower range of the US Navy's M-66 "standard" missile. The anti-ship missile with a flight altitude reduced to 150 meters was soon captured by the "Aegis" system, and then encountered ship-to-air missiles intercepting head-on. After a few brilliant fireworks, these roaring monsters that flew far past the aircraft carrier battle group also turned into rolling and burning torches, and then disappeared from the "Aegis" radar display.

After successfully defending against a wave of air-ship missile volleys, the Americans finally breathed a sigh of relief. The battle between the two sides was far from a decisive outcome.

Penetration and interception, just when the battle on the battlefield was in full swing, the White No. 20 driven by Long Yun had already escaped from the pursuit of the "Tomcats" fleet; facing the "God of Death" who had lost his strength, the VF-21 "Free Lancer" squadron, whose strength had dropped seriously, two remaining F-14a+ fighter jets had returned, while the remaining air-stagnant fighter jets were busy intercepting the "King Fish". For a while, no one was chasing him and his su-27m2 fighter jets.

The plane accelerated and left, and the rwr alarm quickly fell silent. He was as clear as the sky behind him. Long Yun knew very well that the Americans were now full of heavy air-fired anti-ship missiles flying with flames. Now they probably didn't care about his lonely fighter plane. If he really wanted to go deep into the enemy's formation and break through the US air defense circle, then it would be a great opportunity now.

But he won't do this, because it's of course easy to penetrate, but what if he succeeds in breaking?

su-27m2, a fighter aircraft mounted by pure air-opia, cannot pose a threat to the American aircraft carrier, and will inevitably be encircled by a large number of US fighter jets. In this case, he encountered it once in the sky of the Caucasus. Of course, Long Yun, who escaped from death, will not show off again. Moreover, he does not need a single-aircraft penetration now. As long as he continues to do his own work and creates trouble for the Americans, he can do so.

Next, just as a group of fighter jets from u.s.navy were busy intercepting the "king fish", and the fighter jets that were urgently lifted off the air in the rear were still in place, Long Yun was also busy rushing to the next battlefield.

After driving White No. 20 into the arc trajectory, the man contacted "Ruslan" after getting rid of the electronic interference of the Americans. He received the air information forwarded by the transport plane in the rear and confirmed that the 22nd Bomber Air Regiment of the Red Flag had returned. The large-scale air defense interception battle in the southern sky came to an end. He decisively flew the plane along the outer periphery of the Americans' air defense circle and approached the Red Navy surface battle group in the southern waters.

The location of the surface combat group is in the plan of the General Command, which is the assault position of the 317th Bomber Aviation Regiment of the Guards.

When he rushed to the battlefield, Long Yun raised his wrist and looked at the flight watch. At 6:29 in the morning, the light gradually spreading out from the sky made the sky brighter, which was more beneficial to the fighter's visual air combat, and for him, it lacked an excellent cover. However, he was not obsessed with it now, but was considering the overall tactics of the Red Navy.

Long Yun didn't know much about the arrangements of the Far East War Zone General Command.

But even so, he knew very clearly that the US Navy's aircraft carrier battle group was not a good bone. The tu-22m3 decisive charge of a bomber regiment was of little significance. Next, it depends on the battlefield command ability of the commanders of both sides. Perhaps, a little bit of luck that must be added. According to the naval statement of superstitious naval beings, it is probably a destined fate.

The confrontation between missile platforms and aircraft carriers, tu-22m3 and F-14 was once a combat topic that the Red Navy and the US Navy focused on. Their starting points were completely opposite, but the conclusions they came to have some commonalities.

Since it comes from the real world in 2020, Long Yun has certainly done a lot of homework for these research. He has read some reports from the Soviet Military Strategy Research Department. There are both considerable and pragmatic analysis and subjective fantasies. Of course, most of the data are between the two. But in short, most wise naval strategic and tactical researchers have proposed one thing, that is, in the confrontation between anti-ship missiles and aircraft carriers, if there is no big gap in weapons, equipment, technical level and command capabilities between the two sides, then either side actually has a chance to win.

In this way, the boundary between life and death becomes a little blurred.

The research of the Red Empire is probably like this. As for the Americans, because they don’t know much about the specific combat capabilities of Soviet anti-ship missiles and long-range bombers, various inferences are emerging one after another. One widely circulated saying is that “the Russians have no chance” - as for the argument, because the e-2c “Hawkeye” hovering 350 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier battle group can find “counterfires” 700 kilometers away from the fleet. Then these “counterfires” need to rush at two Mach speeds to twelve minutes before they can break through to a distance of 300 kilometers and enter the missile launch position. During this period, the US Navy could completely take off at least two squadrons of twenty-four F-14 “Tomcats” and carry 144 aim-54 into the battlefield.

Next, a brief comparison of the Russian anti-ship missiles, bombers and the number of "Immortal Birds" of u.s.navy, multiplied by the hit probability, and all the above conclusions can be drawn.
