C1519 The Function of an Alarm
It's not easy to find the Aircraft Carrier Formation in the vast ocean. For example, the sneak attack from the Silver Country on the Aircraft Carrier Formation in Cattle Country had used a large number of ocean searching airplanes. Searching for traces of aircraft carriers everywhere, if it was during the day. Even if it was an ordinary aircraft, it could still be used as a visual search. However, at night, only radar could do it.
If it was a Male Cat Fighter, with its powerful radar, looking for the Aircraft Carrier Formation, he estimated that he would be able to find it 300 kilometers away. However, the Nighthawk did not have this kind of equipment. It was the most advanced attack machine developed by the Y Country. The Nighthawk did not have any radar equipment.
As long as the radar was turned on, there would be electromagnetic radiation and it would be received by the passive electromagnetic receiver. Therefore, this method was not suitable for the Nighthawk. As a hunter in the dark, the Nighthawk relied on the dual-field infrared sensors under the wind-blocking glass to detect and fire control aiming.
This way, he could only leave it to the other planes.
The Han Country already had a part of the sea search aircraft. But... Those aircraft were not very useful. They wanted to find the Aircraft Carrier Formation on the sea from a long distance. The best choice was to prepare an alarm. The Han Country's own alarm system was still in the process of research and development. Therefore, for this operation, they used a special alarm system.
An -71. This pre-warning aircraft was a byproduct of Qin Guan's trade for the Nitka System. Since they saw it, they brought it over.
This warning aircraft was highly confidential, so the test could only be carried out at night. Now, it took off at night and began its operation.
Unlike other alarms, its large plate was at the bottom. It made it look even more strange, operating it... It was a team of experienced people, who had taken over this plane since... They had been operating it the whole time, and now they were very familiar with it.
The "Quantum" Warning Radar produced by the "Star Shiori" scientific production alliance was spinning at a speed of six circles per minute. Although it was flying above land, but... Its radar had already detected all sorts of targets in the distant sea... For a fleet on the sea, it could accurately detect and capture them from 400 kilometers away.
The fleet of the Cattle Country, the target of the huge reflective radar. On the screen of the An-71 alarm, Radar Officer's fingers were tapping on the keyboard. The attached data chain transmitted the target's information to the flying Nighthawk. This was also the only place in Han Country where the system was being modified.
An -71 belonged to the Bear Country, and the Nighthawk belonged to the Y Country. These two systems were integrated through the independent data chain system developed by the Han Country.
Seeing the correction of the target on the Head-up Display, Chen Rui had a cold smile on his face. He slightly pushed the head of the plane and started to correct his flight path.
The ocean below was pitch black, with only a few lights. That was the lighthouse on the sea. At this time, on the surface of the 200 kilometers of the Oriental Pearl, a fleet was sailing at a speed of 5 knots.
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening. On the bridge of the Distinguished Airship, General Goodwood had no intention of stopping.
In the past, he had gone down long ago and returned to his captain's room to talk to his family. He then went to sleep, but ever since he came to the waters of Han, it was hard for him to fall asleep. In the morning, his eyes were also red, and now... Looking at him, the vice-captain Jack said, "Captain, do you want to rest?"
"Rest, how can I rest?" Goodwood said, "Tomorrow is the official start of the meeting. Tonight, we are in great danger."
For some reason, Goodwood had a bad feeling in his heart. This feeling was especially strong tonight.
Would the Han Navy's aircrafts launch a sneak attack tonight? Would their Invisible Missile Boat launch an attack tonight?
The two countries had not entered a state of war, and the Han people would not really attack. However, if they suddenly appeared, it would be a slap in the face to their own side.
Goodwood found it hard to calm down. He turned his head and looked at Radar Officer. "We must be on high alert, especially targets at a low altitude!"
"Yes, we will be on high alert. We will not make the same mistake as last time."
Last time, because of carelessness, the Cherfield was killed by the C801 Anti-ship Missile of the Flying Leopard Combat Bomber. To the Cattle Navy, this was a great humiliation. Therefore, they had made some improvements and upgraded. When it came to targets at a low altitude, they had to pay attention to them.
If they were to deal with an attack or a simulated attack, it would definitely be from a low altitude.
Goodwood looked over from the bridge again, looking at the wide flight deck below, and said, "Take off a Sea King Precinct Aircraft."
If it was a large aircraft carrier with a Carrier-Borne Early Warning Aircraft like E-2, of course it would be the best. However, there was no such thing in Cattle Country. The Cattle Country's national power could not afford such a large aircraft carrier. They could only use a small invincible aircraft carrier as their main force. Because they did not have an alarm system, they lacked the ability to fly. So... That was why he was taken advantage of by someone at a low altitude.
Facing this loophole, they naturally had to make up for it. The result of making up for it was the Sea King Carrier-Borne Early Warning Aircraft.
The Sea King Helicopter was the main helicopter of Cattle Country. This kind of ten-ton helicopter was modified by the technology of the SH-3D Anti-submarine Helicopter brought in by Cattle Country. It was equipped with a lot of equipment in Cattle Country's navy.
Some people said that it was because they had learned their lesson from the naval battle in Donkey Island, but in fact, it was not like that. They had long realized the weakness of the fleet's air defense. Therefore, in 1980, they began research and development. However, due to technical problems, they went through so much trouble until 1985. Only then did he officially enter the military. If there was such an early warning helicopter during the war in Donkey Island, they would not have been able to catch up with the war in Donkey Island. Maybe the casualties will be smaller.
And now, the Sea King alert helicopter that was equipped to the mothership Distinguished was... In fact, not all the tests had been completed, but at least it could be used... So this time, they set off together with the fleet, because they knew how serious the situation they were facing was.
The Sea King Helicopter's outer appearance was rather bloated, and it looked very fat. On the right side of its body, there was a round bulging thing, and it looked even weirder.
This was the special equipment of the Sea King's Warning Helicopter. Inside was an improved version of Thorne's EM1 Ship, which used a search radar. However, under high sea conditions, it could detect and categorize small and fast targets in the air and water 100 nautical miles away. Although it was not as powerful as E-2, it was still better than nothing.2
