It is not easy to find the aircraft carrier formation in the vast sea. For example, in the sneak attack of Baiyin on NiuGuo's aircraft carrier formation, a large number of maritime search aircraft are used in advance to search for the trace of the aircraft carrier everywhere. If it is daytime, even ordinary aircraft can be used for visual search. However, at night, only radar can do it.
If it is a male cat fighter, rely on its powerful radar to find an aircraft carrier formation. It is estimated that it can be found 300 kilometers away. However, the Nighthawk does not have such equipment. As the most powerful attack aircraft developed by the most technologically advanced Eagle country, the Nighthawk does not have radar equipment.
As long as the radar is turned on, there will be electromagnetic radiation and will be received by passive electromagnetic receiving equipment. Therefore, this method is not suitable for Nighthawk. As a hunter in the dark, Nighthawk relies on the dual field of view forward-looking infrared sensor under the windshield for detection and fire control aiming.
In this way, it can only be handed over to other planes.
Han already has some maritime search aircraft, but those aircraft are not easy to use. If you want to find the aircraft carrier formation at sea from a long distance, early warning aircraft is the best choice. Han's own early warning aircraft is still under development. Therefore, they used a special early warning aircraft for this operation.
An-71, this early warning aircraft was a by-product of Qin Guan's exchange of nitka system. Since he saw it, he brought it with him.
The early warning aircraft is also highly confidential, so that its test can only be carried out at night. Now, it takes off at night and has begun its operation.
Different from other early warning aircraft, its big plate is on the vertical tail, which makes it look more strange. It is operated by a team of experienced personnel who have been operating since they took over the aircraft and are now very skilled.
The "quantum" early warning radar produced by Vega scientific production consortium is rotating at the speed of six circles per minute. Although it flies over land, its radar wave has detected various targets in the distant sea area. For the fleet at sea, it can accurately find and capture 400 kilometers away.
Niu Guoren's fleet, the target with huge radar echo, is on the screen of an-71 early warning aircraft. The radar officer's finger is knocking on the keyboard. The attached data link transmits the target information to the flying Nighthawk. This is also the only place for systematic transformation in the Han Dynasty.
An-71 belongs to Xiong state and Nighthawk belongs to Eagle state. These two systems are integrated through the data link system independently developed by Han state.
Seeing the target correction on the HUD, Chen Rui had a cold smile on his face. He pushed the nose a little and began to correct his route.
The sea below is black and only sporadic lights. It is a lighthouse on the sea. At this time, a fleet is sailing at 5 speed on the sea about two hundred kilometers from the Oriental Pearl.
Now, it's more than eight o'clock in the evening. On the bridge of the aircraft carrier excellence, general Goodwood has no intention of stopping.
In the past, he went down long ago, went back to his captain's room to talk to his family, and then went to bed. However, since he came to the Han sea area, it was almost difficult for him to sleep. In the morning, his eyes were also red. Now, looking at him, vice captain Jackson said, "Captain, do you want to rest?"
"Rest, how can I rest?" Goodwood said. "Tomorrow is the beginning of the formal meeting. Tonight, we are in great danger."
Somehow, Goodwood had a bad feeling in his heart, which was particularly strong tonight.
Will the Chinese Navy Air Force launch a sneak attack tonight? Will their stealth missile boats attack tonight?
The two countries have not entered a state of war, and the Han people will not really do it. However, if they suddenly show up, they will be beaten in the face for their own side.
Goodwood was hard to settle down. He turned his head and looked at the radar Officer: "we must be vigilant, especially ultra-low altitude targets!"
"Yes, we will be vigilant and there will be no mistakes last time."
Last time, the Sheffield was killed by the c801 anti-ship missile of the Flying Leopard fighter bomber because of carelessness. This is a great humiliation to the NiuGuo Navy. Therefore, they also made some improvements and upgrades. We must pay attention to dealing with ultra-low altitude targets.
If you deal with an attack, or a simulated attack, you must come at ultra-low altitude.
Goodwood looked over the bridge again, looked at the wide flight deck below and said, "take off a sea king early warning aircraft."
If it is a large aircraft carrier and has a shipborne early warning aircraft like E-2, it is certainly the best. However, Niu has no national strength and cannot afford such a large aircraft carrier. They can only use a small invincible aircraft carrier as the main force. Because there is no early warning aircraft and lack of air early warning capability, they will be drilled from ultra-low altitude.
Faced with this loophole, of course, they have to make up for it. The result of this compensation is Haiwang shipborne early warning aircraft.
Haiwang helicopter is the main helicopter of NiuGuo. This ten ton helicopter is transformed by NiuGuo by introducing the technology of eagle's sh-3d anti submarine helicopter. It is equipped in a large number in NiuGuo's navy.
Some people say that it is because they learned a lesson from the donkey Island Naval Battle. In fact, it is not so. They have long been aware of the defects of fleet air defense. Therefore, they began research and development in 1980. However, due to technical problems, they have been tossing around until 1985. We didn't catch up with the donkey island war. If there were such early warning helicopters in the donkey island war, the casualties might be smaller.
Now, the sea king early warning helicopter equipped on the aircraft carrier excellence has not completed all the tests, but at least it can be used, so this time they set out with the fleet, because they know how serious the situation they are facing.
The sea king helicopter is bloated and looks fat. On the right side of its fuselage, there is a round bulge, which looks even more strange.
This is the special equipment of Haiwang early warning helicopter. Inside is an improved Thorne EM1 ship search radar, which can detect and classify small fast targets in the air and on the water beyond 100 nautical miles under high sea conditions. Although not as powerful as the E-2, it's better than nothing.
