Finally launched it!

The other two launching devices also launched missiles, but due to different operations, their launching times were not synchronized.

The E-2 Hawkeye early-warning aircraft keenly detected the missiles launched from the Iranian coastline. There were three missiles in total. It seems that this time, the formation on the sea is really in big trouble.

Because, they know that although the Sea Sidewinder missiles on the Saudi Abuha can hit this backward missile, although the Sidewinder has eight missiles in reserve, although the Sea Sidewinder missiles can be tracked by various means such as radar, infrared, and television Targets and guided missiles.When the shipboard radar cannot work normally due to electromagnetic interference from the opponent, it can still shoot the target by using TV tracking.This multi-sensor combined operation system enables the system to intercept and track targets in all situations.However, one of the disadvantages of the Sea Rattlesnake is that it cannot deal with multiple targets!

This system has only one firepower channel, which can guide two missiles to attack the same target at the same time, improving the hit rate. Although French engineers creatively invented the process of guiding the first batch of missiles, the second batch of missiles was launched in advance , when the first batch of missiles encounters the target, the missile will enter the autonomous guidance stage in the last few seconds, and the fire control system will turn to guide the second batch of missiles launched in advance against the second batch of targets.Even so, it can only deal with two batches of successive targets at the same time, but now, there are three missiles flying over!

Even if it successfully destroys two missiles, the third missile will lose its final reaction time!

The Iranians are not stupid, they actually launched three missiles at the same time.

"Report, found three anti-ship missiles flying from the coast of Iran." The radar soldiers found the target and immediately reported to Major General Talal.

The Aibuha is equipped with the advanced Haihu DRBV15 radar produced by the French Thomson Company. This is an air-to-sea search radar operating in the S-band, which can detect air targets, especially those affected by clutter and foil. Missiles flying over sea-skimming surfaces in severe jamming environments of chips and man-made jammers.

It can be said that one of the main tasks of this radar is to detect anti-ship missiles.

When the silkworm missile dropped its booster and entered the air at 300 meters, it flew more than 20 kilometers, and it was still [-] kilometers away from the Aibuha, and the target had already been accurately captured by Haihu.

The Iranians finally fired missiles!Although he has been gilded abroad, it is the first time for Major General Talal to command a battle after all, which reflects the benefits of naval warfare. They don't have to confront the enemy face to face, and their confrontation is silent.Therefore, there will be no tension like the army brothers who are on the battlefield for the first time.

"Prepare to launch missiles immediately." Major General Talal ordered.

Sea Tiger's search radar continuously transmitted target information to Sea Rattlesnake's system.

The integrated Sea Rattlesnake launch device has four spare ammunition installed in the launch tube on each side, and a guidance radar and light spot aiming equipment in the middle.

The operator turned on the system, and the Rattlesnake system was working in the state of shooting preparation.After receiving the target indication from the shipboard Haihu radar system, the Sea Rattlesnake controls the multi-sensor fire control system to turn to the north where the target is coming, and turns on the tracking radar to search for the target.

There, a total of three missiles flew over!

The Sea Rattlesnake is equipped with a Tavitech combat intelligence system for data analysis, threat ranking and target indication, and uses highly automated combat software to complete target identification and classification.

Soon, the system figured out that the anti-ship missile flying to the side was the greatest threat to him, while the two missiles behind him were equally threatening.

At the same time, the fire control radar began to lock on the most threatening target, and at the same time automatically connected to the infrared angle deviation tracking system to continue to accurately track the target.In the ammunition boxes on both sides, the "Sea Sidewinder" missile has entered the ready state.At the same time, the computer is calculating the possibility of interception.

All of this is handled automatically. In the 80s, the French made this system sufficiently automated, which attracted the attention of various countries. A few years later, China spent a lot of money to introduce this system. The system, given a new number: Haihongqi 7, became the only modern sea-to-air firepower in the 90s.

At this time, the Saudi naval personnel are nervously operating this system. They know that the most dangerous time is coming soon.

Finally, an instruction came from the computer: The target is already within the range of fire and can be launched!

"Report, the missile can be launched."

"Two shots at once, fire them immediately." Talal said.

Hearing the order, the operator pressed his thumb on the firing button in front of him.

"Bang!" The front cover of the launch tube was thrown off, the battery on the missile was activated, the computer system quickly transmitted the code and frequency to the missile, the missile lock pin was released, and then, in the thick smoke, the rocket engine ignited. , Two missiles roared out from the launch tube.

"Prepare for the second wave of missile launches." Talal continued.The three missiles flying over gave him heavy pressure.

After the two Sea Sidewinder missiles left the launch tube, the infrared guidance device led them into the tracking radar beam and tracked the missiles.At the same time, the fire control computer automatically calculates the control instructions for controlling the missile to fly to the target according to the angular deviation between the missile and the target and the distance data of the missile, and sends it to the flying missile through radio transmission.

At this time, the silkworm missile had dropped to a height of 80 meters. It thought that it could rely on its height advantage to carry out a carefree attack. It didn't know that there were already two missiles flying towards him.

At the same time, the second batch of missiles has also been launched. However, the launch of the second batch of missiles is not guided, but launched in a general direction. After the first batch of missiles are sent to the interception area, Then turn to guide the second batch.

The speed of the Sea Sidewinder is 750 meters per second, so after nine seconds of flight, the fire control system has successfully sent the Sea Sidewinder missile to a distance of only a few hundred meters from the Silkworm missile.

The silkworm missile was still flying smoothly, and there was not much liquid fuel left in its huge belly.

Suddenly, under its belly, a violent air wave came, and then, countless fragments flew over.

The Sea Rattlesnake detects that the target to be attacked is already within the beam area of ​​the radio fuze on the bomb, and immediately detonates the warhead automatically, and kills the target by focusing the fragments.

"Boom!" The silkworm missile's liquid fuel tank was hit by debris, which immediately triggered the silkworm missile's explosion, and then disintegrated in the air!

The Sea Sidewinder missile, less than a year after its birth, ushered in its first glory: in a naval battle, it shot down an anti-ship missile!

A missile was shot down on the radar screen, and suddenly, there was a burst of cheers on the Ai Buha.

However, the danger has not been lifted, Major General Talal is even more nervous.

Chapter 451 The Second Batch of Missiles Strike

Formation rear.

The Badr and the Sambuk missile boat jointly attacked and finally sank two of the speedboats that were close to them. The other two fled the battlefield after seeing the situation.

The technicians from Iraq on the Badr began intense repairs. The antenna was damaged, and they had no spare parts, so they could only repair the original antenna.

They are now racing against the Iranian missiles, so each of them is working hard, regardless of being attacked at any time, and climbed onto the broken mast at the rear.

Fix the antenna!

At the same time, on the Ai Buha, the atmosphere reached the most tense level.

On the surface of the sea, there are still two silkworm missiles flying in. The terrible thing is that they will arrive almost at the same time. Now, the time left for the Aibuha is only a dozen seconds, and they can only shoot down one of them. .

Although after completing the guidance of the first batch of missiles, the fire control system turned to the second batch of missiles launched earlier, and the third batch of missiles had already flown out of the launch tube, but when the guidance of the second batch of missiles was completed, After the missiles, the third batch of missiles has passed by the missiles flying from the opponent!

"Prepare the decoy launching device, and the left artillery is ready." Talal said.

In addition to intercepting with anti-aircraft missiles, the last method is to launch a decoy jamming device and intercept it with short-range rapid-fire guns. On the Aibuha, it is equipped with four 40mm dual-mounted Breda artillery.

The two silkworm missiles were still flying smoothly. They didn't know that their brother had been blasted into the water. They only knew that they were aiming at their target!

At a distance of four kilometers from the Ai Buha, one of the silkworm missiles was accurately intercepted by the Sea Rattlesnake, and it exploded into a fireball on the sea surface, which could be clearly seen from the bridge.

Seeing the fireball on the sea in the distance, the sailors on the surrounding tankers shouted excitedly. They didn't know that the threat had not been lifted.

After finishing guiding the second batch of Sea Sidewinder missiles, the fire control radar turned around and found that the third batch of intercepted missiles had already flown past the target to be intercepted, and the Silkworm missile had already entered the final attack procedure !

The silkworm missile did not lose its target this time. It began to climb towards the pre-set target, and then dived to attack.

"Fire the decoy bomb immediately." Talal ordered.

Immediately, the al-Qaeda MK2 decoy launching device arranged in the middle began to launch platinum strips into the air, and the ten tubes fired sequentially, forming a barrier made of platinum strips on the side of the Aibuha.

The end-guiding radar using the monopulse system lost its target immediately in this kind of interference. Although the developer claims that this missile has a strong anti-jamming capability, in fact, the anti-jamming capability of this missile is very bad.

The silkworm missile lost its target!

At this time, it was less than one kilometer away from the Aibuha.
