Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 956

The war came sooner than Li Lan expected, and the flames of war ignited the night sky of the South Atlantic in an instant.…

At four o'clock in the morning, the NATO Atlantic Joint Fleet sounded the combat alert. A large number of combatants, five aircraft carriers, and a large number of carrier-based aircraft waiting to fly under the indicator light, took off one after another.

The early warning aircraft in the sky also began to separate the enemy's situation, providing a large amount of enemy aircraft data for each carrier-based aircraft that lifted off.

The Somali Navy's carrier-borne early warning aircraft also caught a large number of enemy aircraft signals that were launched in the first time. This news was also immediately aggregated on the Atlantic Fleet. Lynch immediately issued the order for the carrier-based aircraft to launch into the air to meet the enemy.

The harsh battle alert reverberated on the two fleets, and a large number of red signal lights began to flash on the fleet.

At the same time, on the outer destroyers of both sides that were less than 300 kilometers away from the enemy ship, with the sounding of the battle alarm, the soldiers in the combat center immediately turned on the fire control radar and phased array radar.

With the help of the early warning aircraft, the position of the enemy's warship was quickly locked.

However, there is no way to carry anti-ship missiles in the vertical launcher of the U.S. Arleigh Burke-class destroyer. Except for cruise missiles and air defense missiles, the whaler and Harpoon anti-ship missiles cannot be installed on the destroyer's vertical launch system. .

However, the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are also equipped with eight anti-ship missiles. At the moment when the combat alert is issued, all the warships turned their rudders and faced the enemy ships laterally.

During the launch of the carrier-based aircraft, the side-mounted anti-ship missiles were launched almost at the same time.

When the missile left the launcher, it roared with intense flames, and flew towards the enemy ship 300 kilometers away.

At the same time, in the vertical launch system of the Aegis ship.After receiving the incoming missile signal from the enemy ship, it immediately counterattacked.

The fresh cover of the vertical launch system on the stern and bow suddenly opened.The missile inside directly breaks through the moisture-proof protective layer under air pressure, and then rests the warhead direction about ten meters in the air of the warship.The missile engine ignites in the next second.

The second missile immediately lifted off and ignited in the same direction. In just one minute, six cold-launched anti-ship missiles had disappeared on the dark sea.

However, the attack did not end there. After a short break, the second launch started again, with six anti-ship missiles under the air-cooled launcher.The vertical launcher was ejected and flew towards the distant target.

The Aegis ships perform more air defense missions, but in regular missions they will also carry 24 supersonic anti-ship missiles, 24 supersonic cruise missiles, and then 48 area air defense missiles. A large number of near defense weapon systems.

At the same time, NATO’s peripheral destroyers also launched a total of dozens of anti-ship missiles toward the Atlantic Fleet. There are many models, including French ones.There are also British ones.

These destroyers all launched anti-ship missile attacks on the Somali fleet in the first time.

However, the NATO anti-ship missiles installed on these destroyers do not have supersonic anti-ship missiles.Anti-ship missiles with the highest speed, which is subsonic.

With a launch time of less than ten seconds, Somalia’s anti-ship missiles naturally run faster.

The fleets on both sides did not even have the mood to say hello.Just do it directly, the whole process is very tacit.It also seems to have been waiting for a long time.

How many years of confrontation and grievances begin now.All can be resolved together.

In the history of this human war, World War III broke out in this way.Because at this point, there is no possibility of salvation.

Air defense alarms have sounded over the two fleets, and the speed of fighters is faster than the speed of anti-ship missiles.

At this moment, in the central waters of the South Atlantic, patrolling warplanes on both sides have launched a round of missiles.

The carrier-based aircraft of the NATO Joint Fleet in charge of patrols turned into an engagement mode at the hour of the hour, and the active phased array radar was aimed at the Somali navy carrier aircraft for the first time.

The first battle between the two sides started from here. Three squadrons of Lightning carrier aircraft were premeditated to surround themselves, and missiles were fired at the Apollo carrier aircraft that was warning over their fleet.

The pilots of the Red Police carrier-based aircraft also responded extremely quickly. They had already received orders that the war could start at any time, and they were already ready to fight back.

After the early warning system sent the signal to be locked by the radar, all Apollo carrier-based aircraft pilots turned on the active phased array radar tacitly, and immediately locked the Lightning carrier-based aircraft that opened the concealed magazine to launch missiles. .

The twelve Apollo carrier-based aircraft of the two squadrons did not immediately counterattack, but immediately dispersed. The air combat squad consisting of mainframe and wingmen dispersed, and then proceeded to counterattack in an orderly manner.

After the pilots of the Apollo carrier launched the missile with their eyes closed, when they opened their eyes, the medium-range air-to-air missile launched by the Lightning carrier had arrived not far from them.

"The height of the enemy plane is four thousand, the whole team adjusts the height of five thousand meters."

As if they had already been negotiated, at the same time, all the twelve Apollo carrier aircraft of the six teams opened the afterburner, and the originally calm fighter engine suddenly roared like a beast.

Each Apollo fighter flicked in the air at the same time. On the wings and behind the fuselage, a sonic cloud formed instantly, and all Apollo fighters entered supersonic cruise in an instant.

Approaching NATO’s Lightning carrier aircraft, the flying medium-range air-to-air missiles are also very fast, but each Apollo carrier aircraft is rapidly climbing at a speed exceeding Mach two, waiting for the missile to change its course to catch up. At that time, the Apollo fighter jet had already deviated from the pursuit direction of the missile.

However, the missiles launched by the Apollo fighters were also avoided by the lightning carrier-based aircraft that were also prepared.

However, the Apollo fighters approaching at high speed still made the opponent a little flustered. They were originally tens of kilometers apart. At a speed of Mach two, although the opponent could not be seen in the night sky, the radar signal was vaguely captured, and every Lightning fighter was being told. The other driver is very close to him.

"The Somali enemy plane is 5,000 meters high, bearing 011. Number six, speed Mach two..."

At this time, the Hawkeye early warning aircraft behind him also sent detailed intelligence to the Lightning fighter.

immediately.The fleet of Lightning carrier aircraft began to pounce on the enemy aircraft in batches.The close combat missile is already in a state of preparation for launch.

However, at this time, the Lightning carrier-based aircraft had not yet entered supersonic speed, and seemed to be ready to meet the enemy aircraft with ease.

Every NATO pilot looked at the radar signal on the integrated screen very intently, and put his finger tightly on the missile launch button.

As long as the radar catches the opponent, the missile will be launched immediately.

Those who are waiting will always gain. Under the tense waiting process, ten seconds seems to have passed by ten years.Strong radar signals appeared on the integrated screen display of each Lightning carrier aircraft.

At this time, the Apollo carrier aircraft was only ten kilometers away from them, and the strong radar signal was the signal caught by the radar when the hidden magazine opened.

In the next second, the missile was thrown out of the magazine of the Apollo carrier plane, and the NATO pilot on the Lightning carrier plane also locked the local fighter plane, and the close combat bombs were also launched.

At this moment, neither party has time to check whether the attack was successful because of the other's missiles.It was almost in the blink of an eye.

The Lightning carrier-based aircraft, which can change its spout, made the Cobra maneuver for the first time, and its nose was suddenly raised.Large pieces of decoy bombs were released in the air.

The missiles passed through the tail of their aircraft and detonated under the decoy.

But before the NATO carrier-based pilots felt proud, the radar warning signal did not disappear.Instead, it became more rush.

In the next second, six fireworks bloomed gorgeously in the sky.Six Lightning carrier-based aircraft were destroyed by missiles at almost the same time.Burning debris.With a patch of fire in the sky, it swayed and fell towards the sea.

Time went back to twenty seconds ago.All the wingmen of the Apollo carrier aircraft of the six squadrons flew in front, and dozens of meters behind the wingmen were the main engines with the same flight angle and altitude.

When the wingman launched the missile, the main engine also launched the missile shortly thereafter.

The wingman launched the v-igd close-range combat missile, while the host launched the v-2gd close-range combat missile.

The performance and data of these two missiles are almost the same, and there is no improvement, but the missile's engine and shape have been processed, and the missile's engine nozzle has been fired, and the command emits a faint starlight in the dark.

The appearance has also undergone stealth processing, and the attack is very concealed.

At first, the Lightning fighter only detected the v-1gd running ahead, but did not immediately find the v-2gd that followed immediately. As a result, the Lightning carrier-based pilot who just thought to have escaped the missile attack, just relaxed, the second One missile took their lives.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on NATO pilots being lax, because both the lightning airborne phased array radar and the early warning aircraft in the distance have only found six incoming targets, but not two overlapping targets.

This led to the tragedy of losing six carrier aircraft in an instant.

The Apollo carrier aircraft that succeeded in the attack for the first time did not have much advantage at the moment, because the two squadrons following the opponent had already arrived on the battlefield, and the form of the scene had directly become twelve to twenty-four.

At this moment, the carrier-based aircraft on the fleet have also begun to gather over the aircraft carrier, and new attacks will soon be launched.

At the same time, the destroyers of both sides also intercepted the flying anti-ship missiles.

The picture of the missile lift-off was quickly staged on the destroyers of both sides, and all the Phalanx air defense systems began to operate.

Compared with the initial reaction speed of the Indian Navy, the reaction speed of NATO naval soldiers is much faster.

The two groups of missiles staggered in positions close to the sea. When the supersonic anti-ship missile on the Somali side entered the 80-kilometer range of the Aliberk-class destroyer, the Standard-3 missile immediately lifted off.

The Standard-3 air defense missile, which is ignited directly from the vertical launcher, has a very fast response speed. At the moment after lift-off, it flies towards the direction of the anti-ship missile flying in the distance. The angle and height of the flight are also constant. The adjustment.

However, it is not easy to intercept these ultra-low-flying anti-ship missiles.

Because the standard series of missiles are more for intercepting air targets and dealing with the interception of ultra-low-altitude targets, the effect has always been to be tested.

Naturally, the data published externally cannot be fully believed.Because of the performance of these standard three, it is still very good.

When the v-2fj supersonic anti-ship missile approached to less than one kilometer to the outer destroyer.It was accurately intercepted by the standard thirty.

However, this is also because of the calm Indian Ocean at this moment.There is no big storm, otherwise the active search radar will be intermittent in tracking the anti-ship missiles flying at ultra-low altitudes under the interference of the waves.

It is difficult to instruct the interception and angle of missiles in a standard way. Therefore, the performance of Standard-3 can only be said to be a great help from the weather.

On the other side, the number of missiles facing the four Aegis ships is not small, but every Red Police and Navy soldier in the ship's combat service center.Also intercepted very decisively.

The threat level of the searched target is divided, and then the threat level of the basic target is controlled to lock the six most threatening targets.

In the next second, the missiles were launched under the command of the weapon commander. Ten seconds later, the second wave of interceptor missiles were launched again one after another.

At this moment, the anti-ship missile launched by the NATO fleet has come to a place no more than 50 kilometers away from the Aegis.

But in the next second.On the originally calm sea, a huge wave of hundreds of meters long suddenly rose, and a large amount of sea water flew up to more than ten meters of the sea, and then quickly fell back to the sea.

A few seconds later.A large number of floats turned out from the turbulent waves, obviously, below this sea area.The submarines of both sides are also beginning to fight.

I don't know which side has already gained.The waves brought about by such a violent explosion were definitely one of the submarines killed.This caused such a huge reaction.

However, the surface ships of both sides have no time to pay attention to underwater battles.

Four Aegis ships fired twelve v-2fk missiles one after another, and finally intercepted most of the incoming anti-ship missiles.

The remaining few missiles were also destroyed on the sea under the Vulcan dense system. The only Harpoon anti-ship missile that approached the Aegis ship only a few hundred meters, was also under the cloud burst interference cloud group. Plunged into the sea.

Whether it was in the air, on the water, or even on the bottom of the sea, the battle only took place within three minutes after the war officially broke out.

Next comes the real fierce battle.

All sneak attack tactics have no effect on both sides.

The outbreak of the naval battle was a battle of siege and annihilation. Both sides were in the clear. What kind of attack methods and reactions they made were in the eyes of both sides, and it was not a secret at all.

At this moment, the fleets of both sides have increased their speed to more than 30 knots. A large number of carrier-based aircraft began to take off quickly under headwinds, and anti-submarine helicopters began to search for submarines in their respective fleet areas.

At this time, no matter whose submarine it is, once it enters the security range of the fleet, it will be attacked.

Even your own submarine will become the target of attack, because this is an iron rule.

Even if the Typhoon-class attack nuclear submarine of the Somali Atlantic Fleet enters the waters of the Atlantic Fleet, it will immediately become the target of the fleet's anti-potential attack.

The same is true on the other side, even if the Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarine enters its own defensive circle, it will be killed immediately.

And the battlefield of submarines naturally becomes more dangerous, because they not only want to prevent the opponent from breaking through their defenses, but also keep a reasonable distance between themselves and their own fleet at all times to avoid becoming the target of attack.

At this moment, on the command ship of the NATO Atlantic Joint Fleet, the four-star U.S. Navy’s four-star Admiral Robert Gates sits at the command center. By his side, a large number of NATO staff members are gathering together to analyze the results of the battle and always ensure that the war is real-time. Master the state, and then make tactical modifications based on these states.

Gates was the master of the overall situation. Three minutes after the attack was launched, the damage was passed for the first time.

"The report, according to the frontline report, during the three-minute attack, our side successfully intercepted 24 anti-ship missiles launched by the enemy, but the 48 anti-ship missiles launched by us were also intercepted by the other party.

As for the air force, six Lightning fighters of the 13th Carrier Wing and five Lightning fighters of the 10th Carrier Wing were destroyed by enemy aircraft. Only three pilots escaped successfully. We destroyed the other three Apollo ships. On the carrier aircraft, all the other pilots successfully parachuted. Now the surviving pilots are all in the waters where the carrier aircraft of both sides are fighting. The destroyer in front has dispatched helicopters to rescue.

Underwater, it has been determined that a submarine was destroyed, but it is currently impossible to confirm which submarine was destroyed, and no signs of wreckage and floating objects can be seen at night."

"The attack is too slow. This speed is simply a crime." Gates looked unhappy. Under the absolute advantage, the battle damage rate of the carrier aircraft actually reached 11 to 3, which he couldn't accept.

Another report from the Staff Council: "At present, the second batch of carrier-based aircraft from the five carrier-based aircraft wing, a total of 36 Lightning fighters, have formed an encircling formation. The carrier-based aircraft exchanged fire."

Gates still shook his head and ordered: "It's still too slow. The soldiers are very fast. Order the destroyer formation in front of each aircraft carrier battle group to immediately advance forward fifty nautical miles, and cooperate with the air force to eliminate the other's natural air superiority."

"In addition, immediately order the commanders of the five aircraft carrier battle groups to immediately take off the carrier-based drones and fly all ultra-low altitudes to break into the opponent's fleet defensive circle. I will smash the opponent's defensive net in one fell swoop, for the overall attack of the large force Fight for the best opportunity."

"Order the other defensive ships to disperse immediately according to the combat formation, and at the same time squeeze in the middle, compressing the opponent's two aircraft carrier battle groups into a fixed space, and absolutely not let the opponent break out, even if it is bayonet on the warship. Also intercept the opponent."
