Red Soviet Union

Under such sea conditions, the flight quality of an early warning aircraft with a large plate is even more unacceptable, especially the danger of landing is very high, and the Tomcat's own radar is also quite powerful, so Colonel Ted, the commander of the regiment, only ejected Two Tomcats.

It couldn't be easier to use two mighty Tomcats to spy on a sluggish Soviet Tu-95 reconnaissance plane, and, if the navy lads had a little other sleight of hand, it was acceptable to Ted et al. within the range.

Aircraft carrier formation, the most powerful force is carrier-based aircraft! The two flying Tomcat fighter jets are mounted on air superiority.

The iconic weapon of the Tomcat is the Phoenix Missile! This large missile with a length of 3.96 meters and a diameter of 380 mm weighs half a ton! Conventional aerodynamic layout, there are four fixed surfaces near the center and rear of the missile body extending to the tail of the missile. Behind these four wings are four rectangular control surfaces, with a range of more than 100 kilometers!

However, because this missile is too bulky, if it is mounted according to long-range interception, each fighter is equipped with six Phoenix missiles, which will seriously reduce the maneuverability of the Tomcat fighter, and if the missile is not fired during the mission. , When returning to the aircraft carrier, it also has to throw away two expensive Phoenix missiles, because the Tomcat can only carry up to four Phoenix missiles to land on the aircraft carrier.

Therefore, the Tomcat fighters are usually not full of phoenixes majestically. The two Tomcat fighters now only have two phoenix missiles mounted on them, plus two sparrow missiles and two sidewinder missiles.

At this moment, the two fighter jets ejected from the aircraft carrier, the engines at the tail were turned on, the wings were swept back, and they began to sprint quickly to intercept the mission remotely!

At this time, hundreds of kilometers away, a bright spot was still displayed on the radar. This bright spot was constantly moving towards the exercise area of ​​the US aircraft carrier.

In the Cold War, this kind of confrontation was all too common. When the two countries were exercising, each other often came to harass them. For example, when the Soviet Navy exercised in the Baltic Sea, even the frigates of the Soviet Navy had to squeeze the hull to prevent the Americans from harassing them. The warship is too close.

At this time, on the two Tomcat fighters, the pilots were flying according to the target directions from the ground radar station. In the rear cockpit of the Tomcat fighter aircraft, the weapon operator was operating in an orderly manner.

Since the launch of Phoenix missiles is too cumbersome, in order to allow pilots to focus on air combat, Tomcat fighters are two-seat systems, and there is a weapons operator in the rear compartment, which is specially used to control the powerful AWG-9 radar and Phoenix missiles system.

Turn on the radar and scan the airspace in front of it in PDS mode. At the same time, pre-power the Phoenix missile to prepare for launch. If you really need to launch, you won't be in a hurry.

On the radar screen, bright spots soon appeared.

Like the Cyclone A radar, the weight of the AWG-9 radar has reached half a ton. However, the weight of this half ton is the full weight of the entire radar system, while the radar such as the Cyclone-A is a net weight, excluding the cooling system, etc. the weight of. Moreover, the weight is not proportional to the performance. The flat slot antenna of the AWG-9 radar can make the radar beam radiate better, reduce the side lobes, increase the scanning frequency, and improve the efficiency. At the same time, a large number of solid components are used in the receiver. , including crystal filters and low-noise parametric amplifiers, flexible high-capacity computers.

AWG-9 is a completely digital computer. Many computer fans know that this computer is the 8-bit digital processor of Intel8080! This thing sounds backward now, but, at the time, this processor was simply invincible. The radar processing system written in assembly language allows the radar to process signals in various ways, giving the AWG-9 seven modes!

Comparing the most critical parameters, the maximum power of this radar is only 8 kilowatts, which can achieve such a powerful performance, and the peak power of the Cyclone-A radar is 600 kilowatts! The power is large, but it is dissipated in the form of heat, and the effective energy used on the radar beam is not much.

At this time, with the radar running at full power, in PDS mode, the AWG-9 radar has a maximum detection distance of 300 kilometers for large targets such as strategic bombers. At this time, aiming at the scanning airspace, the radar quickly captured the The large reconnaissance plane that came to scout its own side.

"The target was found, at 12 o'clock, the distance is about 300 kilometers." The weapon operator in the rear cabin said.

The PDS mode is the pulse Doppler search, which is a search state that works in the pulse mode and uses the Doppler effect at the same time. At this time, just like a big flashlight, it is used to see if there is a target in the 65-degree airspace ahead, that's all, in addition to obtaining the target orientation information, there are no altitude, speed, and various other parameters. Unable to guide missiles to attack.

However, this mode has the farthest detection distance, and a large target such as a Tu-95, B-52 and other strategic bombers can be found 300 kilometers away. Therefore, the PDS mode is mainly used to follow the road, which is a mode often used by Tomcats during combat cruises.

After continuing to track steadily for a few seconds, the weapon operator in the rear cabin continued to report: "Prepare to switch to PDSTT mode."

PDSTT, wearing a condom on the PDS, this condom means continuous tracking. The working mode of the radar is still in the pulse Doppler mode, but the scanning mode will be changed, and one of the intercepted targets will be selected to enter continuous tracking according to the operator's instructions.

At this time, the radar antenna is in a fixed state, and all radar beams are radiating toward the distant target~www.readwn.com~ no longer waste the beams in other airspaces, just like the flashlight has added a focusing lens, so that The flashlight turned into a laser.

Keep your eyes on the target and prepare to fire!

As the radar beam radiates continuously and returns at the same time, the parameter information of the target is completely displayed on the radar screen through the calculation of the fire control system.

"The distance is 200, the height is 16,000, and the speed is 800." The weapon operator in the rear cabin continued to report

Since the intercepted target information is complete at this time, it can fully support the fire control system to launch AIM-54 missiles. The tracking distance of this PDSTT is the longest engagement distance of the AWG-9/AIM-54 system, and the radar reflection signal is obvious enough to the target. For example, Tu-95 and B-52, the tracking distance of PDSTT is more than 200 kilometers; if the opponent is a fighter jet, such as a target such as MiG-25, the tracking distance can also reach 150 kilometers, which is just a phoenix. The maximum distance of the missile.

If this system was installed on the MiG-25 fighter, Andre was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

At this time, after hearing the report of the pilot in the rear cabin, George in the front cabin was a little puzzled. The altitude is 16,000? According to our own data, if it is a Tu-95, this kind of aircraft is a propeller-type aircraft! In previous reconnaissance, almost no such aircraft was found flying at an altitude of more than 12,000! Now, the height of the other party is 16,000, is it a bit strange?

"The height is 18,000, and the speed is 900." The weapon operator in the rear cabin continued to report. At this time, their hearts were full of unease.
