As the source of interference eased, the Sam-5 missile company, which had been hiding in Zawiya and Bayda, also started their operations.
The radar is turned on and the target is locked!
Although they also installed the anti-radiation seeker on the Sam-5 missile, the range is too far after all. The Sam-6 missile only has a range of tens of kilometers, and the seeker can directly intercept the target. The Mu-5 has a range of 250 kilometers. At this distance, the seeker cannot accurately capture the target. Therefore, in the first part of the flight, ground radar guidance is still required.
As long as they fly within dozens of kilometers under the guidance of radar and let the seeker intercept the target, then their final target will be shot down.
E-2C Hawkeye early warning machine!
Sam-5 is an anti-aircraft missile, as long as it is there, it can become an offensive weapon!Hit the opponent's early warning machine!
At this time, the decks of the two aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean Sea were extremely busy.
In order to attack with all their strength, they launched more than 50 anti-radiation missiles in the first wave of attacks to suppress Libya's air defense system. They thought that they had reached the intended goal, and their own With the jammer, even if the opponent has anti-aircraft missiles, it will not be able to play a role.
However, I didn't expect that many of the first strikes were false targets. The opponent's air defense system still had a strong combat effectiveness. More importantly, our own jammers were the first to attack.
Until now, they still haven't discovered that Libya is using ground-to-air anti-radiation missiles.
Because, at present, no country has creatively equipped surface-to-air missiles with anti-radiation seekers.
Because, generally speaking, anti-radiation missiles are designed to attack the opponent's ground radar. They use air-to-air or air-to-ground missiles modified to attack radar targets on the ground from the sky. This is also related to the tactics of the US military. Yes, no country will suppress the U.S. Air Force to fight, bomb U.S. bases, and use early warning aircraft.Therefore, there is no such thing in the US military's equipment inventory.
However, other countries are different. Weak countries have little air superiority, and if they take off their fighter planes, they are likely to die. Then, they can only find breakthroughs in this direction.
Chapter 959 The U.S. Air Force Is Suffering
On the deck of the aircraft carrier, the F/A-** Hornets are taking off urgently. They received an order and a new air defense position appeared. They must use anti-radiation missiles to suppress the opponent.
At this time, the battle on the front line is entering a fierce stage. They are now urgently mounting and taking off. By the time they fly more than 200 kilometers and attack the opponent, I am afraid that the cucumber vegetables will have been cold for a long time, but they have done a good job. up.
A powerful push back came, and the fighter quickly flew into the sky under the combined effect of the afterburner and the projectile.
"Crow, target No. 1, 0-3-1 direction, an air defense position appears, two mobile radars." In his earphones, the sound of an early warning machine came.
In order to accurately observe the target, the pre-warning aircraft has moved into the airspace two hundred kilometers away from the opponent's coastline.The situation ahead suddenly changed, and the operators in the early warning machine were also under a lot of pressure.
Let the bombing squadron withdraw first, and then send anti-radiation missiles to suppress it!
In the entire airspace, more than 100 aircraft need to be commanded. Although there are two early warning aircraft, each of which only needs to monitor more than 50 aircraft, but there are still so many missiles, which are all directions they need to monitor. Needing to remind some hapless missile-tracked guy to dodge a missile, they're already very nervous.
If it is E-3, because of the large body and many operators, it can disperse some pressure, but now, they have Alexander, and, due to the data transmission problem with the Air Force, they cannot use the data link, they can only use voice Command is more complicated.
At this moment, a radar operator scanned with the corner of his eyes, and two more light spots flew in the direction of Zawiya.
At the beginning, he didn't pay attention to it, but it was a little strange. It was not a battle zone, but a place where his own air strike planes entered. Now it is useless, so why join in the fun?
But then, he found out that it was abnormal, because those two light spots, other fighter planes that did not rush towards the sky, were obviously coming towards them!
Seeing that the other party had flown more than 40 kilometers, still did not appear to explode, and was still flying, he suddenly remembered that the anti-aircraft missile was definitely not the Sam-6, but the Sam-5!
Because the Sam-5 was equipped with the Libyan army only last year, for the Libyans, within a few years, they will not be able to operate this kind of missile proficiently, and the last operation has already put this missile The troops destroyed it, and they almost forgot that in Libya, there is also a long-range anti-aircraft missile with a range of more than 250 kilometers!
The Libyans on the ground are so ambitious, they are aiming at the early warning machine!
Thinking of this, the radar operator immediately issued a danger warning, and the captain manipulated the plane and began to fly north.
And those two missiles are still following quickly, they have accelerated to Mach [-].
At this time, another spare EA-6B electronic jamming plane that took off from the rear Coral Sea aircraft carrier finally rushed to the vicinity of the E-2 Hawkeye early warning plane and began to release strong electromagnetic interference.
Although the Sam-5 missile has a long range, its shortcomings are also obvious, that is, its ability to resist electromagnetic interference is weak, and it only needs to interfere with its guidance to become an uncontrolled large rocket.
It did not expect that this time it was wrong.
At this time, the Sam-5 missile has entered the autonomous guidance process.
If it is a few seconds earlier, the passive seeker cannot intercept the target, and the radio commands from the rear radar are interfered, then the attack will be considered a failure, but now it has entered the stage of active guidance, As long as there is radiation source, the target can be found!
The two missiles changed again at this time, one of them found the target it had determined when launching, while the other aimed at a more intense radiation source, that is, the electronic jammer.
The escorting F-14 fighter jets hurried up, trying to intercept the two incoming missiles and save their early warning plane.
However, it didn't work.
It may be possible to intercept slow cruise missiles, but it is very difficult to intercept fast-flying anti-aircraft missiles.
And at this time, the personnel on the jammer suddenly reacted, and they turned off their jammer.
Looking at the fireball exploding in the sky in the distance, the personnel on the jamming plane felt like they had escaped from death, because they discovered that the Libyan army below was equipped with a new kind of weapon that they had never seen before. Missiles are specially used to fight jammers and early warning aircraft!
Hearing the noise coming from behind, Tom's heart tightened. He pulled his comrades and continued to run north. That was their only way of life.
After landing, Tom didn't choose to stay in the bombing cockpit, but left the cockpit with his comrades. During this time, they needed to run as far as possible.
Sure enough, when they were about three kilometers away, they saw the army in the distance, which was specially here to catch them pilots.
The Libyans also hated the Americans very much, similar to the Iranians. If they were caught by them, Tom didn't know what would happen, so hurry up and leave as soon as possible.
However, still did not escape, they were discovered and chased after them.
In the sky, they are the sons of heaven, but on the ground, they are like tigers in peace, and the guys behind with assault rifles, they can't handle it at all.
While the Air Defense Air Force was shooting down the enemy plane, Gaddafi was naturally not idle. He sent countless small teams to search for the whereabouts of the hateful American pilots. The dead ones wanted their bodies, and the alive ones had to be arrested and paraded!
The sky is gradually brightening, and the statistics of this battle are being quickly counted.
Eight F-111 fighter-bombers were shot down, two EF-111 electronic warfare planes were shot down, two EA-6B electronic warfare planes were shot down, two A-6 attack planes were shot down, and an E-2C early warning plane was also shot down. Because it was very chaotic at that time, some wreckage of the downed fighters landed on the water and were not included in the statistics, and the damaged fighters were not included in the statistics.
However, for this victory, Libya also paid a price. The fighter planes that arrived later carried anti-radiation missiles and blew up three radar vehicles in Libya. Several anti-aircraft missile positions were subsequently bombed.
Although under the command of the people sent by the Iraqi side, they adopted methods such as sudden shutdown, but unfortunately they were recruited, and those fighter planes that were planning to bomb the intended target dropped their bombs on the air defense position.
However, even if all the air defense missile positions in Libya were reimbursed, they won this battle!The pilots who fell into the sea were rescued by the search and rescue helicopters of the US Navy, and none of the pilots who fell on the land escaped. Except for the few who fell to their deaths, they captured eleven American pilots. This is a big gain!
This time, after the F-111 was in danger, it urgently avoided the anti-aircraft missile position. Moreover, in order to speed up the escape, some fighters dropped bombs. Unfortunately, one of them fell on the roof of the French embassy in Libya. Fortunately, Unfortunately, the bomb did not explode, and only one unfortunate person died after being hit on the forehead by the falling concrete from the roof.
What Gaddafi paid the most attention to were the American prisoners, while the Iraqi personnel paid more attention to the wreckage of those planes, especially the wreckage of one of the EF-111s, which was very complete. From above, they obtained a Set of complete distraction devices.
Before dawn, the wreckage of several fighter planes had disappeared without a trace. They were all disassembled by the Iraqis, then packed into containers, passed through Sudan, and then shipped back to Iraq.
Gaddafi delivered an impassioned televised speech. This time the U.S. imperialists brazenly invaded Libya's airspace and attempted to bomb Libyan military targets. Their conspiracy was completely crushed by the great Libyan people!This further proves the truth that all imperialism is a paper tiger!Libya is the lion of North Africa, not afraid of the blow of the United States!
Meanwhile, those hapless pilots, still in their aviator suits, make appearances on television.
Washington.
Reagan frowned and watched the news on Libya's national TV station. The screen below had been translated into English. Libya proudly announced its victory and showed the wreckage of those fighter planes and pilots.
