Chapter five hundred and thirteenth when the attack is in progress
To deal with incoming missiles, the most important prerequisite is to promptly detect the launch of the opponent's missile. Otherwise, subsequent identification, tracking and interception will be impossible. The so-called missile early warning means to detect incoming missiles and other launch positions in the early stage, measure missile flight parameters, judge the targets that the incoming missile will attack, provide early warning information for defense decisions, and early warning detection of missiles can be carried out by land, sea, air, and sky platform detectors.
In order to deal with possible attacks by Arrow Wolf mercenaries on the United States, the US government and military have activated all land-based radar and missile early warning satellite systems that can be used for detection. The radar systems of military ships arranged near the United States are also turned on at full power to detect possible missile attacks.
Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, USA, has an/fpq-16 radar, also known as the "Border Interceptor Radar Target Characteristics Measurement System".
The radar consists of two antenna arrays with a diameter of 35.4 meters. It usually performs space tracking tasks continuously. When the target is discovered, it is automatically converted into surveillance tasks and attack judgments, providing accurate data and detailed attack judgments to the US early warning unit.
The radar can detect objects over one meter of objects, and can also detect ordinary warheads reach 1,600 kilometers. It can track 600 targets at the same time and provide careful data of 55 targets.
Roberts is the second lieutenant communications officer at the Eglin Air Force Base radar station. His job is to monitor radar data in the monitoring center, adjust the radar fan transmission and reception orientation, focus on scanning the special airspace coordinates transmitted by superiors, and deal with possible abnormal situations.
The Arrow Wolf's mercenary's declaration of war made Roberts, who was preparing to go home for a vacation, unable to make a trip. Roberts' duty hours were from 6:30 to 9:30 tonight. In the past two hours, his eyes had never left the numbers that were beating on the big screen, and he was dedicated and did not dare to have a moment of negligence.
Although Roberts was very serious, he always maintained a relaxed attitude. However, it was about to be nine o'clock, Roberts became nervous for no reason. This panic and baseless foundation made him feel at a loss.
To be honest, he disagreed with the war declaration of Arrow Wolf's mercenaries. There are now two or three countries in the world that are capable of launching missile attacks on the United States, but there are not one of them that dare to launch missile attacks on the United States. They are not unable to do so, but they dare not.
So he did not think that the mercenaries of Arrow Lang had this ability, nor did he think that they had this courage. Their only consequences were that they would do this, which was the complete extinction. The US government and military would not tolerate an extremely hated military organization that would continue to exist. There was no reason for a military organization that launched missile attacks on the US mainland to continue to be free in this barren land of Africa.
"Second Lieutenant, is there anything wrong with it?"
The commander of the radar station was Lieutenant Colonel Torres. When the time given by the Arrow Wolf Mercenary entered the countdown, he came to the surveillance center, and he was accompanied by Lieutenant Colonel Jones, a radar station technical officer.
Roberts stood up from his seat and saluted the two lieutenant colonels.
"Sir. So far, no abnormalities have been found."
Lt. Torres and Lieutenant Colonel Jones saluted the lieutenant and sat on the seats on both sides of Roberts.
"Very good, second lieutenant, now strengthen the monitoring of the eastern waters. Full power output."
Roberts carried out Lieutenant Colonel's orders on the computer.
Time passed slowly as he stared at the screen. Lieutenant Colonel Torres stood up and went to the coffee machine next to the door to pour coffee. He had just picked up a full cup of coffee. Before he could turn around, he heard the hysterical shouts of Lieutenant Roberts behind him.
"Missiles, missiles, they launched missiles."
Lieutenant Colonel Torres trembled. With a "bang", the coffee cup fell to the ground, and the hot coffee spilled on his calves, making him grin and jumped.
Lieutenant Colonel Torres did not care whether his calf was burned. Amid the shrill alarm sound of the surveillance center, he looked at the large screen ahead. Lieutenant Roberts and Lieutenant Colonel Jones also stood up, their eyes wide open, and they looked at the sixteen fast-moving red dots on the large screen without blinking.
Data is given on the large screen. Eight of these sixteen missiles are similar to the Tomahawk cruise missile, but the speed is more than three times that of the Tomahawk cruise missile, and the cruise speed exceeds Mach 2.5. The other eight are Russian-made SS-N-19 missiles launched at a high inclination angle, with a speed of Mach 3.2.
The sixteen missiles were divided into three groups, the first group was eight SS-N-19 missiles, and the attack direction was at the Portsmouth Shipyard, Maine. The target should be the two Aegis destroyers and dock docks under construction by the shipyard.
The second group is four Tomahawk cruise missiles, targeting Dover Air Force Base, Delaware.
The third group is also four Tomahawk cruise missiles, and the target is the West Point Military Academy located in New York City.
Five seconds later, the monitoring information of the radar station at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida had been transferred to the Ministry of Defense's National Threat Warning Center. At the same time, the information of all radar stations arranged on the east coast of the United States, the information of missile early warning satellites, and the information captured by the naval ship radar entered the computer of the Ministry of Defense's Information Processing Center.
In another five seconds, the Information Processing Center of the Ministry of National Defense has already downloaded the detailed data and judgments of the attack targets received by the Ministry of National Defense to the computer room of the national missile defense system and the end defense system of the three targets being attacked.
It only took thirty-five seconds from the missile leaving the sea surface to the US missile defense system's land-based anti-missile missile leaving the launch frame. The response speed of the US anti-missile system is incomparable to any country. It makes sense that the US can show off its power in the world. Its solid shield is one of their backings.
This time, the Americans spent a lot of money and used four land-based anti-missile missiles for each incoming missile.
The Sixth Fleet "Philippine Sea" missile cruiser and two frigates, which were carrying out search missions near the coast of New York, were only about fifty kilometers away from the Chen Family 1 and Chen Family 2 submarines that Chen Yuxing was riding.
After detecting eight Tomahawk cruise missiles that jumped out of the sea, they immediately launched 16 standard 3 air defense missiles at the flight cruise missiles. At the same time, two anti-submarine frigates and anti-submarine helicopters quickly drove into the missile launching waters, and the USS Philippine Sea missile cruiser fleet also dragged nearly a hundred meters long tow anti-submarine sonar toward the waters where the incident occurred at full speed. All anti-submarine methods of this small fleet of the United States were used.
The standard 3 missile had a speed of more than Mach 10, and in less than a minute it caught up with the Tomahawk-like cruise missile flying at Mach 2.5. Just when the standard 3 missile was more than ten meters away from the cruise missile, the cruise missile suddenly accelerated and changed its original operating trajectory, and the flight altitude suddenly increased by more than ten meters.
The standard three air defense missile flew over the cruising missile's belly and rushed out hundreds of meters in an instant. When they drew an arc to continue tracking the cruise missile, the cruise missile flew out a large distance.
The American radar soldiers who were monitoring missiles on the radar screen were stunned by this strange phenomenon. Not only did he not see it, but he had never heard of it. Tomahawk cruise missiles have such maneuverability.
Just as the Standard Three Air Defense Missile caught up with the cruise missile again, the cruise missile suddenly accelerated again and changed its operating trajectory. In this way, the five-minute air stagnation time of Standard Three had already arrived, and sixteen Standard Three Air Defense Missiles reluctantly fell into the sea along the trajectory of the parabola.
In the Chen-1 submarine, Mai Ohanoi stood in front of the panoramic three-dimensional perspective, looking at the missiles chasing and dodging each other, screaming.
"Husband, it's great. Why doesn't that American ship launch missiles? Launch it quickly."
Mai Okanoi walked into the three-dimensional three-dimensional image and tried to kick the virtual "Philippine Sea" missile cruiser with her little feet. Obviously, she couldn't kick it, and almost fell down. She stomped her feet in hatred. Then she started to scream in fuss.
"Oh my husband, a lot of missiles came from the shore. There were more than 30 of them, they were bigger than those just now. Can my husband avoid them?"
Mai Okanoi looked at a large number of missiles flying towards her and hurriedly ran out of the three-dimensional image.
Chen Yuxing looked at Mai Okanoi's happy look and just laughed. At this time, Mai Okanoi also looked like pregnancy syndrome, and she was purely an innocent and romantic little girl. Mai Okanoi came to Chen Yuxing and grabbed his arm and begged.
"Husband, don't let them hit my missiles. OK?"
Chen Yuxing pinched her face, and Mai Okanoi's little nose wrinkled hard, and her little mouth was pouting.
"Of course they won't let them hit your missiles."
Chen Yuxing took out a laser pen from the operating table and handed it to Mai Ohanoi.
"You can use this laser point to destroy them. It depends on whether you can destroy them before they hit your missile."
Chen Yuxing picked up Mai Ohanoi and placed it on his legs. He held her little hand and pointed the laser pointer at a land-based anti-missile missile. He pressed a display switch on it. A beam of red light shot on a missile. The missile exploded in the air, and the debris carried a flame and fell to the dark sea, like a gorgeous firework.
"Husband, I'll do it."
Mai Ohanoi broke free from Chen Yuxing's hand and scattered a scattered spot at the remaining thirty-one missiles. All the missiles illuminated by the red laser exploded into a ball of fire.
Mai Ohanoi had a lot of fun playing in the Chen Family 1 submarine.
In front of the big screen of the National Threat Warning Center of the US Ministry of Defense, countless generals and technicians opened their mouths in shock. What is this situation? Why did these anti-missile missiles destroy themselves halfway?
"Investigate, investigate immediately, I want to know what's going on!"
