Chapter 543 Shooting down the Nighthawk

When the Eagle was still in the prototype, the Americans conducted experiments. As a result, their own anti-aircraft radar could not detect the Nighthawk, which proved the aircraft's excellent radar stealth ability, which greatly appreciated the US Air Force. It signed a contract with Lockheed and continued to develop into its current attack aircraft.

However, the radar in the United States at that time was not a meter wave radar, and this kind of radar had been eliminated by them. If they had used a meter wave radar for experiments, they would not have been so optimistic.

Now, in the darkness, the meter wave radar in the woods is rotating. Every time a rotation is rotated, the tracking signal will be refreshed. The two targets are coming from the sea in the northeast direction, towards this side!

"The target is very blurry." Kazakh looked at the radar screen in front of him and heard the radar operator say to Kazakh: "If it were before, we wouldn't pay attention to this signal at all, just like the reflection of clouds."

Although this is also a meter wave radar, not the original backward meter wave radar. The antenna has not changed, the transmitter and receiver have not changed, but the target recognition and processing systems in the later stage have undergone great changes. There are various complex programs, and with high-performance computers, it can distinguish clouds and radar reflected waves of special targets.

But this signal is still very blurry.

"The altitude is between 5,000 and 7,000 meters, and the distance is about 100 kilometers." The radar operator said: "When the target flies closer, there should be more obvious signal characteristics."

This kind of meter wave radar is mainly used for long-range early warning in the air defense network, and can detect a distance of about 400 kilometers. Now, at a distance of 100 kilometers, it has discovered the target, but it cannot detect it more clearly.

"The phased array radar is powered on and ready to turn on at any time, the Sam-3 missile is powered on and ready to launch at any time!" said Kazakh.

It has entered the last moment. Whether it can be shot down a stealth aircraft in one fell swoop and test the combat capabilities of this system now! Our side only has one chance! Whether it hits or not, you must retreat quickly! This is simply taking millet from the fire!

When Pakistan becomes stronger, the United States will definitely regard Pakistan as a potential enemy. If it meets in war, stealth aircraft will be Pakistan's biggest challenge! Therefore, in addition to unremitting efforts to develop its own stealth aircraft, Pakistan is also developing ways to fight stealth aircraft!

Now, it's time to test the effect!

The nighthawk in the sky continued to fly forward, and according to the predetermined target position, they would fly over the barracks in the town of Rioato and drop the laser bombs they carried.

As the distance approaches, the onboard fire control system has begun to work, calibrate the original flight error and prepare for laser guidance.

As a stealth aircraft, all Nighthawk's fire control systems are passively detected and do not have active radars. In order to avoid radiating electromagnetic waves, they are discovered by the enemy. The weapons it throws are mainly laser-guided bombs.

The 900 kilogram laser guided bomb, the internal inertial gyro has also been activated and calibration has begun. Everything is in the predetermined plan.

"The target is within fifteen kilometers." said the operator of the meter-drop radar on the ground.

Fifteen kilometers! This is already a very close distance!

"The phased array radar is turned on! The missile is ignited, and each missile is fired in five seconds, and it will fire all the missiles we brought!" Kazakh ordered.

With the orders of Kazakhstan, fires scattered on the missile launcher outside, and a missile dragged its tail and flew into the sky. Five seconds later, the second one flew into the sky again!

If you are a person familiar with air defense missile operations, you will definitely be surprised at this time. Because the missile at this time has not intercepted the target, it is completely an uncontrolled rocket!

This missile is guided by radio commands. As long as the ground control radar below sends control signals in a timely manner, it can still have guidance capabilities. Now, this missile is launched first, and the interval is five seconds, and it does not use the common double-engine volley, just to shoot down stealth aircraft!

The phased array radar has also been turned on, and all beams are concentrated in the direction indicated by the meter wave radar. Electromagnetic radiation fills the sky. Then, a small amount of echo returns, showing blurry and sometimes disappearing shadows on the screen.

The radar reflection area of ​​f-117 is only 0.01 square meters, which is equivalent to the size of a helmet! The meter wave radar is seeing an aircraft. Because the radar wavelength is long, the accuracy is not high enough. The phased array radar is the S-band, which happens to be the band that f-117 is good at. Therefore, the current advanced phased array radar concentrates almost all beams into the corresponding airspace, and still cannot provide precise guidance information.

"Use manual tracking!" The radar operator immediately changed the way and used manual assisted tracking. At the same time, they were also waiting for the last chance.

The nighthawks in the sky were still flying. When they reached the target ten kilometers, Whitley calmly issued an order: "Drop the bomb!"

Laser guided bombs fly without power and are not weapons outside the defense zone. Moreover, the throwing distance is related to the altitude. If it is above 10,000 meters, it can be thrown twenty kilometers away. Now, their altitude is the most certain.

With his command, his finger pressed on the red button of the operating lever at the same time. Just wait for another minute and continue to provide laser beam guidance to the laser guided bomb. He will complete the task and be able to return.

This is an easy attack mission! Apart from the long flight time!

As he pressed the button, under the flat belly, two bullet hatches quickly opened under the action of the hydraulic rod, and the laser guided bomb would be thrown from inside!

At this moment, he suddenly saw something flying by a few kilometers ahead of him in the dark night sky, pointing straight to the sky. Suddenly, he was shocked, was it an air defense missile?

The f-117 has a proud low detectability, with a rcs value as small as 0.01! However, the moment its bomb hatch opens, its stealth performance is destroyed!

The bomb hatch door perpendicular to the fuselage, and the various components inside will reflect a large number of radar waves. At this moment, the target on the screen of the phased array radar on the ground was very clear!

"The first missile has been missed, the second missile is about to arrive! Turn into automatic control!" Kazakh shouted.

Success or failure is here!

When you shoot out all the missiles, you are waiting for the opportunity. Which one is closest to you, you will rely on which one to make achievements! Now, the time is just right!

The high-speed computer was running quickly. In the two seconds when the other party opened the hatch door and closed the hatch door, the second Sam 3 missile had accurately locked the target, turned, and continued to fly forward for two seconds. Then, the high-energy warhead equipped with 70 kilograms of intense explosives burst out its own roar, and 3,670 pieces of debris spread out, filling the surrounding space.

When he heard the explosion, Whitley was shocked. He knew that he had encountered an ambush. This was a carefully planned ambush circle! He wanted to pull the operating rod to avoid it. It was too late. Several fragments hit his plane. Suddenly, countless red lights flashed on the dashboard in front of him.

Skydiving! Without thinking, he pulled the ejection handle. This is Panama! He needs to call for help from the other invading US troops after landing and come to rescue him as soon as possible!

The second Nighthawk turned urgently and started to withdraw from the battle before he had time to drop the bomb. Since it did not open the bomb hatch, it was not tracked by the missile. Although the subsequent missiles continued to explode in the sky, forming a terrifying fragmented barrage, he still escaped by chance.

"The other convoys are ready to transfer immediately, and the phased array radar monitors the fall trajectory of the shot downed aircraft. Abud, take your people with me to pick up the wreckage! Within three hours, you must complete the retreat according to the original plan!" Kazakh said.

The battle went smoothly, proving that the stealth aircraft could be shot down! Their final mission was to find the wreckage of the stealth aircraft that had been shot down and take it away! Even if it crashed, the wreckage would be of great inspiration to Pakistan's developers!

The entire position was busy, and several people jumped onto the trucks. These trucks were off-road chassis. At the same time, one of them also carried a truck crane. They began to move quickly in the direction of phased array radar monitoring.

Find the wreckage!

A roar came from the sky again, and the official attack of the Americans finally began!

Originally, the Americans planned to use stealth aircraft as the first wave of attacks. Who knew that the attack was not good, but this did not affect the subsequent operations. More aircraft had entered Panama and began to bomb the various targets they identified.

This is a war that has nothing to do with us! Our side just wants to find the wreckage!

Wearing a night vision device, Abude's eyes looked around. This was a field. If the plane crashed, it would definitely heat up and could be clearly displayed in his night vision device! The plane was not exploded in the sky, but fell only by debris. The body must be intact!

"Note that when the plane fell, it fell about five kilometers northeastward." The sound of the radar operator came from the radio.

The complete nighthawk is invisible. When it is blown up, it becomes a very obvious target. The phased array radar has been tracking steadily, observing the location where the nighthawk fell.
