On the sea surface, due to the curvature of the earth, you can't see the other person's ship tens of kilometers away. When the ship sails, the first thing you see is the mast of the other person's ship, and then gradually rises. This is the reason for the curvature of the earth. The beam of the radar propagates in a straight line, which is an insurmountable defect.

However, the Soviets took a different approach, using the catheter effect in high altitude for detection of over-horizontal lines, and then fully utilized the range of anti-ship missiles on ships of one or two hundred kilometers. Under certain meteorological conditions, the temperature of the troposphere closest to the surface will increase with height, and the normal situation will decrease, thus forming an inverter layer. The electromagnetic waves in this area will be transmitted along the upper and lower boundaries of the inverter layer to hundreds of kilometers away, similar to the situation of transmission in waveguide tubes. This phenomenon is called the conduit effect, and the inverter layer area that can guide the transmission of electromagnetic waves is called the conduit or the conduit.

Relying on this effect, the Soviets developed the MINERAL 'Music Station' radar, which was later carried on modern-class destroyers imported from China. Moreover, like the top plate radar, it became the standard radar for the new ships of the Chinese Navy.

The music station radar is very old and was used to guide SS-N-9 in the early days. Not only can it be seen on cruisers, but it is also found on large missile speedboats. When using catheters, the maximum search distance of this radar can reach 180km to 200km, with a longitudinal error of only 50m. It can track 30 targets at the same time, and at the same time give 10 targets a radar of the firing control level. Some large warships will be equipped with "light bulbs" radar video data links to contact missiles, but this is not necessary. Many missile boats equipped with sunburning missiles do not have this kind of thing.

Since the use of over-sight radar, the radar's action distance is enough to provide guidance information for the missile, so there is no need to add additional auxiliary search and guidance equipment. A ground-effect aircraft is enough to complete all attacks!

At the same time, in order to maximize the discovery of American warships and to give the United States a devastating blow, another ground-effect aircraft hidden hundreds of kilometers away was also dispatched at the same time. The two aircraft searched for a certain area, and after discovering it, they communicated with each other.

Of course, due to the particularity of ground-effect aircraft, it is both a warship and an aircraft, and this kind of thing can fly up to 7,000 meters at a maximum height. In theory, it can be equipped with radars for air force fighters. After climbing up, it can naturally search the sea surface.

However, the attack of the ground-effect aircraft is sudden. If you climb high, just like an aircraft, it will definitely be scanned by the opponent's air search radar. You must know that the ground-effect aircraft is a behemoth of hundreds of tons! It is not as small as a fighter. Once it is noticed by the opponent, the attack will lose its suddenness, especially when it is discovered in the face of an aircraft carrier formation, it is almost equivalent to being destroyed.

The radar waves are constantly scanning the sea surface, and the beams are spread far through the catheter effect. At this time, everyone on the ground-effect aircraft is anxious.

Where exactly are Americans?

According to the radar speculation on the oil platform, our side will search for the sea surface hundreds of kilometers wide here, and the US aircraft carrier formation will not stay here and wait for us. We will definitely continue sailing during this period. This is really like looking for a needle in a haystack!

The roar of the ground-effect aircraft made everyone feel tinnitus in the cabin. Machetans's hand was placed on his knees and kept shaking slightly.

"What, haven't you found it yet?" asked Machetans.

“Yes, we haven’t found the target yet.”

The target has not been discovered yet! What is going on? Did the American warship not be in this sea? Machetans remembered the recent information that the US aircraft carriers have actually been sailing in the southern waters, but today, they suddenly headed north! And now, they can't find the other party's location, is the other party continuing to head north?

Yes, that must be true!

"Search north!" said Machetans: "Search the sea surface 200 kilometers north!"

The advantage of ground-effect aircraft is its fast speed! No matter where the other party's aircraft carrier formation sails, it can quickly follow!

The pilot Colombo pressed the operating rod, and the huge aircraft began to turn, heading north, and continued to search!

After flying forward for a few minutes, suddenly, the radar operator heard a joyful shout: "Discover! We discovered a large area of ​​echoes on the water, which is a maritime formation!"

Discovered? Machetans stood up and looked at the back of his seat. In the radar operator's position, countless highlights appeared on the big screen!

"Lock the American aircraft carrier and prepare for launch!" Machetans said: "Avenge our bombed presidential palace and our dead!"

A large-scale echo! There are at least twenty warships! Now, the distance is 200 kilometers! The launch is in full swing!

The six huge anti-ship missile launchers on the top have been opened, and the computer system is rapidly binding the missile data. Now, every second is precious!

Locking the American aircraft carrier! After all, there is only one ground-effect aircraft and six missiles. We must pick up the target with the greatest value of the opponent! What target is more suitable than an aircraft carrier? This is not the kind of useless aircraft carrier in the UK, but a super aircraft carrier that takes off with full catapults!

All six missiles aimed at the aircraft carrier!

The radar operator was operating nervously. According to the radar's echo identification, there were several large targets inside, but there was only one aircraft carrier, and the rest were comprehensive supply ships!

Which one is an aircraft carrier? Of course it is the core of the fleet formation! Stabilize tracking, capture data, and transmit it to missiles!

Although the shell is the same as in history, thanks to the advancement of Soviet electronic technology, the electronic equipment inside this ground-effect flight attacker has long been updated. The powerful electronic system quickly completed the preparations before launch. Now, there is still a hundred kilometers away from the American aircraft carrier formation!

"Start!" shouted Machetans.

As he shouted, the missile operator on the side pressed his finger on the launch button.

On the dark sea, there was a shiny field. In a huge white smoke, a pointed silver-white missile flew out of the launcher! Its huge body was displayed in the dark night sky!

When it comes out of the launch tube, the folded wings open, and the titanium alloy shell can simply blind the 24K dog eyes.
Chapter completed!
