Ballistic Silence of Special Years

The failure of the attack in the middle line further stimulated White's senior management.

Thinking back to the failure that year, the leader of White Fang finally died in depression. If this failure occurs, it is estimated that it will be a huge impact on the entire top management of White Fang, and may even lead to disintegration.

Therefore, White's top leaders ordered that they must win a victory on the northeastern front at all costs.

To open the passage in the northeast section and enter the red team's control area, it is necessary to gain air superiority.

The White side is located at the airport near the capital. Rafale F3s and Su-30MKIs took off one after another, assembled in the air to form a combat formation, and then flew to the northeastern front to prepare to attack the red side's ground troops.

In order to ensure resistance to the strong electromagnetic interference of the Red side, these fighters were also launched together with the White Air Force's early warning aircraft and Global Express electronic reconnaissance aircraft.

However, as soon as they took off, they were spotted by an early warning aircraft deployed by the Red Army to patrol the border area.

In fact, the airport towards the White capital has always been the focus of the Red side's surveillance, because all White airports within 100 kilometers of the border have been destroyed by the Red side, and these are the only places where fighter planes can quickly take off.

Therefore, as soon as the White fighter jet took off, the information was captured by the Red side's early warning aircraft and the data was immediately transmitted back to the Red Side Air Force Command. The Red Side Air Force Command immediately ordered the J-10C and J-16 that had been on standby to immediately take off and rush to the theater. , taking off together with a regiment of J-16D fighters.

It is a J-16 model designed to deal with enemy air defense systems and electronic warfare. These electronic warfare aircraft are divided into three groups and go to different theaters to cooperate with air superiority fighters to participate in combat.

Shortly after White's fighter plane took off and entered within a range of 300 kilometers, the airborne equipment showed that it had begun to be interfered with.

The closer you are to the boundary, the greater the pressure for interference.

Among White's fighters, the most severely suppressed is the Su-30MKI. The Red has also purchased the Purple's Su-30, so it has a very good understanding of the electronic parameters of this aircraft and can suppress it easily.

The only thing that surprised White was that the Rafale F3R multi-purpose fighter purchased from Gaul brought surprises.

The F3R is the latest upgraded version of the Rafale fighter jet. The reason why Gaul upgraded this fighter jet is said to be because the technology in the stealth fighter project has not been able to achieve a breakthrough, resulting in an embarrassing situation of lack of supply of fighter aircraft.

The new version of the Rafale F3R is upgraded with software and hardware upgrades, including the Meteor beyond visual range air-to-air missile and the latest integrated version of the laser-guided Sagem "Modular Air-to-Ground Weapon", Thales RBE2 active electronics Scanned array (AESA) radar, Thales RBE2 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, automatic ground collision avoidance system (Auto-GCAS), spectrum electronic warfare system.

What Gaul boasts the most to the outside world is the "TALIOS" long-range air-to-air target pod equipped on this fighter jet, saying it has initial combat capability (IOC).

The "Tarios" long-range target pod is a multi-functional optoelectronic pod developed by the Gallic Thales Group. Compared with the old French Air Force electronic warfare pod, its optical accuracy has been significantly improved, its positioning system has been improved, and it has It is beneficial to track moving targets and uses augmented reality (AR) technology and infrared functions to add markers to targets in the detection area. However, although White spent a high price of 1.6 million knives to buy one, Gallic Chicken was unwilling to install the "Tarios" pod for White. It was only willing to provide White with the equipment developed by Thales Group. Another mature RECO-NG reconnaissance pod, which led the White Air Force to choose to purchase advanced electronic pods from Hoopoe, and purchase supporting weapons and ammunition.

It is precisely because this multi-purpose fighter is a new piece of equipment and the red side does not know much about its electromagnetic spectrum parameters. Coupled with Rafale's powerful electronic warfare capabilities, the F3R suffered interference from the white side's aircraft dispatched this time. Minimal impact.

White's Rafale fighter also turned on its electronic warfare system at this time, established an electromagnetic barrier, and quickly locked on a group of red team's early warning aircraft and electronic warfare aircraft to attack it rapidly.

This move was unexpected by the red side, but it makes sense if you think about it carefully. After all, the F3R multi-purpose fighter upgraded by Gaul was said to have certain stealth performance when it was launched. Its stealth is not material stealth in the traditional sense, but relies on the electronic warfare system to form a shield and disrupt the opponent's radar equipment. "Stealth".

No wonder Gaul is so proud that it will be used until 2070 before it is retired. It has to be said that although the empire is old, it still has two brushes.

With the help of the advanced electronic countermeasures system of the Rafale F3R, the white fleet was able to lock on the red team's early warning aircraft despite the electronic interference of the GX-11. From this point of view, it was enough to shock the red team.

At this time, there were only 6 J-10C escorts beside the red side's early warning aircraft. It was obviously no match for the opponent's huge Rafale, and it would take time for the fighters taking off from the rear to arrive. In view of the fact that the opponent's Meteor missile has a range of 100 kilometers, if it strikes For large early warning aircraft that lack maneuverability, the Rafale F3R can also increase the range of the Meteor missile by dozens of kilometers through high-throw launch, which is a great threat to the red side's early warning aircraft.

Therefore, the KJ-500 early warning aircraft formation quickly transmitted the Rafale signal back to the ground air defense forces through the data link.

The Hongqi 9a and S-300 anti-aircraft missile battalions that were shut down and hidden on the ground could only break out of hiding, turn on the radar and start scanning and locking the White fleet. According to the original plan, the Red Flag Air Defense Battalion and S-300 Air Defense Battalion on the ground originally planned to wait for the White fleet to enter a closer distance before suddenly turning on their aircraft to attack and intercept. Before that, the air early warning mission was handed over to the KJ-500 and GX- 11. The advantage of this tactical arrangement is that it allows the white fleet to enter the no-escape zone and increases the chance of being shot down.

But now the red team's early warning aircraft formation has been threatened by the white team's Rafale F3R fleet, and it has no choice but to turn on the aircraft in advance to intercept.

Within five minutes, nearly 50 Red Flag 9 and S-300 surface-to-air missiles were launched continuously, roaring towards the White Rafale fighter group.

After a few minutes of flight, the missile entered the attack range.

But the result was very disappointing to the red side.

Such a large-scale anti-aircraft missile interception only shot down and damaged 4 Rafale aircraft. The interception success rate did not exceed 10%. Seeing that the Rafale aircraft group was about to approach the 150-kilometer attack range of the early warning aircraft, the red team commander immediately ordered the final attack. The killer S-400 anti-aircraft missile is launched. As long as the early warning aircraft can be saved, this ambush battle will be exposed in advance.

But just when the S400 was turned on, an accident happened suddenly.

A large number of snowflakes appeared on the radar screen of the S-400 air defense battalion.

This situation is obviously suppressive interference!

It mainly generates broadband or narrowband active noise signals in the tuning frequency band of the radar, forms a suppression interference environment in space radiation, artificially transmits the noise to the radar receiver, increases the noise level at its input end, and reduces its signal noise. ratio, thereby interfering with the normal operation of the radar.

In principle, since the suppressed interference signal has similar characteristics to the internal noise of the radar receiver, it is difficult for the radar receiver to get rid of active interference of this nature.

Red didn't expect White's electronic interference to reach this level, and couldn't help but be shocked.

In fact, not only the red side, but also the white side himself was surprised.

They themselves didn't expect the effect to be so good.

Only then did the red team understand why the interception rate of the previous S-300 and Hongqi-9A was so low. Not only was the guidance head of the interceptor missile interfered with, but there were actually electronic warfare aircraft assisting the white team in defense.

The red side immediately ordered its GX-11 electronic warfare aircraft near the border to immediately establish an electromagnetic barrier to protect the S-400 on the ground from being interfered with after switching frequencies. At the same time, it launched electromagnetic suppression and initiated comprehensive interference with the white side's electronic warfare aircraft.

Sure enough, after GX-11 made a targeted counterattack, the S-400 switched the frequency and restored the radar system to normal.

At this time, the level of electronic warfare is clearly distinguished.

After all, the red team's electrical warfare level is higher than that of the white team. This is also the quick response ability that can only be acquired through a solid foundation accumulated over many years.

The S-400 air defense battalion immediately locked onto the enemy aircraft and launched all loaded missiles as quickly as possible.

This round of strikes identified the problem accurately and eliminated interference, so the hit rate immediately improved significantly. More than 10 White Rafale F3Rs were shot down in the air.

Although the anti-interference ability of the S400 is significantly stronger than that of the Hongqi 9A and S-300, and the results of this attack were good, the Red Army commander still frowned.

Because, although White lost more than 10 fighter planes, there were still a huge fleet of aircraft that continued to rush toward the red early warning aircraft formation regardless of their own safety.

Although the red team AWACS formation had changed direction and started turning back, trying to get out of the F3R's attack range, after all, the AWACS' flight speed was limited. Although turning back could delay some time, it still could not escape the pursuit of the supersonic F3R fighter jets.

The danger is still not over! (End of chapter)
