    At the same time, the US Navy's aircraft carrier formation also received satellite news and had discovered traces of the Iraqi Navy.

    "Iraqis, let's try the true power of the U.S. Navy!"

    On the Kitty Hawk and the Washington, F-18 fighter jets were launched one after another. At the same time, the Ticonderoga-class cruisers also began preparations for launch. In their universal launch boxes, there were  Vertically launched anti-ship Tomahawk missile.

    The Tomahawk missile is already a mature missile. After replacing the anti-ship seeker, it can perform anti-ship missions.

    So, when the fighter planes took off, more than fifty Tomahawk missiles were also launched into the sky. The United States' attack method actually inherited the model of the former Soviet Union, using anti-ship missiles first!

    However, this method of attack still requires satellite guidance. The United States¡¯ huge military operations are absolutely impossible without satellites.

    In space, the battle continues.

    Two days ago, the Arab Space Company launched the Buran 3 space shuttle again.

    In the command module in front, Arslan was floating on the console with a calm expression, pressing the switch on it.

    The cargo bay door on the back has been opened, and he needs to launch an orbital maneuvering vehicle again to destroy the American reconnaissance satellite.

    Astronauts are all selected from pilots. Although the use of space shuttle transportation and landing like ordinary aircraft can lower the physical selection of astronauts to a higher level, the first batch of Iraqi astronauts are all from the Air Force.  Selected among pilots.

    After careful selection, Arslan left the fighter force and after several years of training, became an astronaut.

    Aviation and aerospace are just one word apart. The technical difficulty and danger have increased exponentially. The space shuttle has completely left the atmosphere and is traveling in the universe.

    All kinds of dangers exist.

    ¡° However, this is more in line with Arslan¡¯s character, constantly surpassing his dreams.

    When the war on land and sea is about to begin, the battle in space shows its necessity even more.

    "Abandon the launch mission, the auxiliary engine will ignite in one minute and perform orbit change operations." At this time, the voice of the ground control station came from the earphones.

    Their target, an American reconnaissance satellite, made an orbit change thirty seconds ago, and they missed it.

    The Americans launched a cruise missile, and the Saudi E-3 early warning aircraft discovered this situation from a long distance. At the same time, the fighter planes that kept taking off also showed that the Americans' attack operations had already begun.

    At this time, the Iraqi naval aviation had already taken off for five minutes.

    These five minutes are the key to victory or defeat!

    The Ticonderoga-class battleship USS Hilo is using its own four-sided phased array radar to search the surrounding sky.

    They already know that the Iraqis are eight hundred nautical miles away and the war may start at any time. They must use their own four-sided phased array radar to protect the safety of their fleet.

    At this time, the E-2 Hawkeye early warning aircraft has not found the target.

    At this moment, they received a notification from the rear headquarters that more than fifty ballistic missiles were suddenly launched in the desert area of ??southern Saudi Arabia!

    After receiving this news, the three cruisers that had been equipped with Standard 3 missiles knew that the time had come to test themselves.

    "Anti-ballistic missile mode, ready to launch standard 3." said the captain of the Hilo.

    Standard 3 missiles are the U.S. Navy¡¯s anti-ballistic missile system. They have always boasted that the performance of this system is far better than that of land-based anti-missile systems. With only over fifty ballistic missiles, they can definitely handle it!

    Each cruiser is equipped with forty of these missiles. If two are aimed at the same target, some missiles can be left.

    At a distance of 800 kilometers, they detected these incoming ballistic missiles. The combat system automatically assigned targets to each warship. At the same time, the interception had entered the final stage.

    "Boom! Boom!" With a loud sound, the first stage thruster of the Standard 3 ignited and pushed it out of the launch box. From a distance, it looked like setting off festive fireworks. The thick smoke had covered the entire ship.  The battleships were all surrounded.

    Each warship launched more than thirty Standard 3 missiles. This was indeed a test of the Aegis combat system. However, the test was not the four-sided phased array radar, but its data processing.

    It tracks more than a dozen ballistic missile targets at the same time and calculates the interception point of its own missile. Since the distance exceeds 500 kilometers, it cannot choose?Interception during the ascent stage can only be done during the landing stage to intercept the opponent's incoming missiles.

    Even during the initial testing, there was no attempt to intercept so many targets at the same time.

    The missile launch site was immediately captured by the U.S. Navy. The escorting Burke-class destroyer did not carry the Standard 3, but was mixed with one-third of the Tomahawk missiles. For that target, they immediately launched two more  If they dare to launch ballistic missiles with more than a dozen Tomahawk missiles, they will definitely level the place!

    The battle has officially begun.

    The ballistic missile that entered the atmosphere began to fall at an extremely high speed. At the same time, it received data from the satellite for the last time and corrected its target information.

    At this time, the third-pole engine of the Standard 3 missile has been ignited, flying towards its target at an extremely high speed, and the collision kinetic energy warhead in front has begun the final target acquisition process.

    It is a problem for ballistic missiles flying at extremely high speeds to receive target data after re-entering the atmosphere. Therefore, although Iraq's system has matured, half of the missiles still did not receive the information. However, according to the pre-arrangement  , they all conjured three warheads.

    The first two missiles launched accurately hit their first target. However, the subsequent missiles turned into three warheads, which made them immediately feel the pressure.

    The original plan was for two missiles to shoot down one target, which would ensure a higher probability, but now, they are separated and attack one target, and one target slips through the net.

    The combat system is constantly recalculating and redistributing targets. At the same time, new Standard 3 missiles are also quickly launched into the sky.

    At this time, the early warning aircraft had observed the Iraqi Navy fighter jets flying at ultra-low altitude and high speed over the sea. There were as many as eighty in number!

    The escorting F-14 fighters immediately pounced on them, and the remaining F-14 fighters were ejected from the aircraft carrier behind.

    In later generations, the Americans gradually phased out their own Tomcat fighters because their aircraft carrier formations were so powerful that they could hardly encounter decent opponents. But now, as the Middle East becomes stronger, the pressure on the U.S. Navy remains the same.  It was very large, so the Tomcat fighters were only partially eliminated. The Kitty Hawk and Washington still maintained an F-14 wing of twenty fighters.

    No matter how the F-18 is improved, its air superiority combat effectiveness cannot reach the level of the F-14.

    In this regard, Americans are actually somewhat envious of Iraq's aircraft carrier, the Su-27K, which can already undertake a variety of tasks.

    All the energy of the Aegis cruisers is used to intercept ballistic missiles. Several Burke-class destroyers assume the task of mid-level air defense and are ready to intercept missiles that slip through the network at any time.

    At a distance of 500 kilometers from the U.S. aircraft carrier, contact between the Iraqi naval aviation and the U.S. naval aviation began.

    The F-14 fighter jet wrote about the Phoenix missile, which has a range of more than 100 kilometers and was the magic weapon for defeating the enemy.

    However, by now, it is old. The Phoenix missile was originally designed to intercept bombers. At the beginning, it achieved good results. But later, as Iraq gradually became familiar with this missile, how  There are already countermeasures to avoid such missiles.

    The most difficult thing is to find that you are shot down by the opponent when you are unprepared. This is the saddest situation.

    The AWACS aircraft urgently reported that US fighter planes had launched Phoenix missiles. All aircraft began to turn according to the AWACS aircraft's notification to get rid of the opponent's lock.  At the same time, the jamming pod carried on the side of the wing also started working.

    The F-14 interception operation relied on long-range Phoenix missiles to temporarily gain the upper hand in the first round of confrontation. A Su-27K fighter that failed to dodge was hit, and a pilot's blood spilled into the sky.

    But then, the distance between the two sides narrowed to within 80 kilometers.

    "Prepare to launch medium-range bombs." Reyer shouted calmly on the radio. He was the commander-in-chief of the carrier aviation for this attack.

    The forty Su-27K escorts are ready for launch. The advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles mounted under their wings are no worse than the American AIM-120, and they still have an advantage in terms of range.

    This missile was developed by Iraq by combining the common features of the original active sky flash and the R77 missile. The active sky flash has always used the original Sparrow missile body, which resulted in that its maneuverability will not increase, while the R77 missile  The missile body design is advanced, especially the unique tail rudder, which leads to increased maneuverability, and the main circuits and electronic equipment on the missile are all improved from the active sky flash.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ???invested in the continued improvement of the active sky flash, which was later known as the Meteor project. However, other European countries were later added to this project. Due to certain strategic considerations, Iraq also agreed. This project became  international projects.  However, the progress has been greatly delayed.

    Under this circumstance, in addition to developing its own advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles, Iraq has continued to develop advanced long-range air-to-air missiles using ramjet engines with a range of more than 100 kilometers.  (To be continued.
