At the same time, the US Navy's aircraft carrier formation also received news from satellites and had found traces of the Iraqi Navy.

Iraqis, let you try the true power of the US Navy!

On the Kitty Hawk and Washington, F-18 fighter jets were also launched one after another. At the same time, Ticonderoga-class cruisers also began to prepare for the launch. In their general launch box, there were vertically launched anti-ship Tomahawk missiles.

The Tomahawk missile is already a mature missile. After replacing the anti-ship seeker, it can perform anti-ship missions.

Therefore, when the fighter jets were in the air, more than 50 Tomahawk missiles were also launched. The United States' attack method actually inherited the former Soviet Union's model and used anti-ship missiles first!

However, this attack method still requires satellite guidance. The huge US military operation will definitely not work without satellites.

In space, the battle continues.

Two days ago, Arab Space Company launched another Blizzard 3 space shuttle.

In the command cabin in front, Arslan floated calmly on the operating table, pressing the switch above.

The cargo hold door on his back has been opened, and he needs to launch another orbital maneuverable aircraft to destroy the US reconnaissance satellite.

Astronauts are selected from pilots. Although landing like ordinary aircraft can reduce the physical fitness of astronauts by a level, the first batch of astronauts in Iraq are still selected from Air Force pilots.

After careful choice, Arslan left the fighter unit and after several years of training, he became an astronaut.

Aerospace and aerospace are only one word apart, but the technical difficulty and danger have increased exponentially. The space shuttle has completely separated from the atmosphere and traveled in the universe.

All kinds of dangers exist.

However, this is more in line with Arslan's character and constantly surpassing his dreams.

When wars on land and oceans are about to begin, the struggle in space shows its necessity.

"Abandon the launch mission, the auxiliary engine will ignite it in one minute and perform rail change operation." At this time, the sound of the ground control station came from the headphones.

Their target, an American reconnaissance satellite, performed orbital changes operation thirty seconds ago, and they were lost.

The Americans launched cruise missiles, and Saudi Arabia's E-3 early warning aircraft discovered this situation at a long distance. At the same time, the continuous takeoff of the fighter jets also showed that the American attack operation had been launched.

At this time, Iraq's naval aviation had taken off for five minutes.

These five minutes are the key to victory or defeat!

The Ticonderoga-class battleship Shilo is using its four-sided phased array radar to search the surrounding sky.

They already knew that the Iraqis were only eight hundred nautical miles away and war could begin at any time. They had to use their four-sided phased array radar to protect the safety of their fleet.

At this time, the E-2 Hawkeye Early Warning Machine has not yet discovered the target.

At this moment, they received a notice from the rear command that more than fifty ballistic missiles were suddenly launched in the desert area of ​​southern Saudi Arabia!

After receiving this news, three cruisers equipped with standard 3 missiles knew that the time was coming to test themselves.

"Anti-ballistic missile mode, ready to launch standard 3." said the captain of the Hilo.

Standard 3 missiles are the US Navy's anti-ballistic missile system. They have always claimed that their performance is far better than that of land-based anti-missile systems. There are only more than fifty ballistic missiles, and they can handle it!

Each cruiser is equipped with forty of these missiles. If two aim at one target, some missiles can be left.

At a distance of 800 kilometers, they detected these flying ballistic missiles, and the combat system automatically allocated targets to each warship. At the same time, the interception has entered the final stage.

"Bang! Bang!" In a huge sound, the first thruster of Standard 3 ignited and pushed it out of the launch box. From a distance, it was like a festive fireworks. The thick smoke had surrounded the entire warship.

Each warship launched more than 30 standard 3 missiles, which is indeed testing the Aegis combat system. However, it is not the four-sided phased array radar, but its data processing.

At the same time, it tracks more than a dozen ballistic missile targets and calculates the interception point of its own missile. Since the distance exceeds 500 kilometers, it cannot choose to intercept in the ascending section, but can only intercept the missiles flying in the landing section.

Even during the initial test, I never tried to intercept so many targets at the same time.

The location where the missile was launched was immediately captured by the US Navy. The Burke-class destroyer escorted did not carry Standard 3, but it was mixed with one-third of the Tomahawk missiles. For that target, they immediately launched more than twenty Tomahawk missiles. If they dared to launch ballistic missiles, they must flatten the place!

The battle has officially begun.

The ballistic missile that entered the atmosphere began to fall at an extremely high speed. At the same time, it received data from the satellite for the last time and corrected its target information.

At this time, the third pole engine of the Standard 3 missile had been ignited and flew towards its target at an extremely high speed. The collision kinetic energy warhead in front began the final target capture process.

Ballistic missiles flying at extremely high speeds receive target data after entering the atmosphere. Therefore, although the system in Iraq is mature, half of the missiles have not received information. However, according to the pre-arrangement, they all transformed three warheads.

The two missiles launched at the beginning accurately hit their first target, but the subsequent missiles turned into three warheads, which immediately made them feel stressed.

Originally, two missiles were planned to shoot down one target, which could ensure a higher probability, but now, they each separate, attack one target, and another target misses the net.

The combat system keeps resolving and reassigning targets. At the same time, the new Standard 3 missiles were also quickly launched.

At this time, the early warning aircraft had observed the Iraqi naval fighter jets flying at high speed at ultra-low altitudes on the sea, with as many as 80!

The escorted F-14 fighter jet immediately rushed up, and the remaining F-14 fighter jets were also ejected from the aircraft carrier behind.

In later generations, Americans gradually eliminated their own Tomcat fighters because their aircraft carrier formation was too powerful and they could hardly meet decent opponents. However, now, with the strength of the Middle East, the US Navy is still under great pressure, so they only partially eliminated Tomcat fighters, Kitty Hawk and Washington, and both maintained the size of one F-14 wing and twenty fighters.

No matter how the F-18 is improved, the combat effectiveness of air control cannot reach the level of the F-14.

In this regard, Americans actually envied Iraq's aircraft carrier, the Su-27K, which can already undertake a variety of tasks.

All the energy of the Aegis cruiser is used to intercept ballistic missiles. Several Burke-class destroyers have undertaken the tasks of mid-level air defense and are ready to intercept missiles that have leaked the net at any time.

At a distance of 500 kilometers from the US aircraft carrier, the Iraqi Naval Air Force and the US Naval Air Force began to contact.

The F-14 fighter jet wrote about the Immortal Missile, which has a range of more than 100 kilometers and was the magic weapon to defeat the enemy at the beginning.

However, now it is old. The Immortal Missile was designed to intercept bombers. At the beginning, it achieved good results. However, as Iraq gradually became familiar with this missile, there have been countermeasures to avoid this missile.

The most difficult thing is to discover that when you are not prepared, you are shot down by the other party. This is the saddest situation at this time.

The early warning aircraft urgently informed that the US fighter jets had launched the Immortal Bird missiles, and all aircraft began to turn according to the early warning aircraft's notification and get rid of the other party's lock. At the same time, the interference pod carried on one side of the wing also began to work.

The F-14 interception operation temporarily gained the upper hand in the first round of confrontation with the long-range Immortal Missile. A Su-27K fighter jet that failed to dodge was hit, and a pilot sprinkled blood in the sky.

But then, the distance between the two sides was closer to within 80 kilometers.

"Prepare to launch a medium-range bomb." Reyer shouted calmly in the radio. He was the commander-in-chief of the carrier-based aviation force in this attack.

The forty Su-27Ks that were escorted were ready for launch. The advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles mounted under their wings are not worse than the American AIM-120, and they still have an advantage in range.

This missile was developed by Iraq in conjunction with the common characteristics of the original Active Sky Flash and the R77 missile. Active Sky Flash has always used the original Sparrow Body, which has led to its maneuverability not increasing. The R77 missile's advanced missile body design, especially the unique tail rudder, has led to an increase in maneuverability. The main circuits and electronic equipment on the missile are all improved from the Active Sky Flash.

Iraq invested in the continued improvement of the active Sky Sparrow, which is the meteor project in later generations. However, this project was later added to other European countries. For some strategic considerations, Iraq also agreed that this project became an international project. However, the progress was greatly delayed.

In this case, in addition to self-developing advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles, Iraq has begun to develop advanced long-range air-to-air missiles with ramjet engines and ranges of more than 100 kilometers.
