Chapter 1427: Make a splash

Affected by the curvature of the earth, ground or sea radar can only maintain a monitoring distance of about 40 kilometers for low-altitude targets. The AWACS can see a distance of 350 to 400 kilometers in the air.
While Zhou Qingfeng was pondering the early warning opportunity of Incret while taking care of that ‘Aly Burke’ class destroyer, Incree ’s air force personnel were much bolder than he imagined. They pushed the early warning aircraft over the Yucatan Peninsula.
It was Colonel Crowder who was shot down by Zhou Qingfeng with the 'Perak-15' the previous two days as the air intelligence officer. This old lieutenant colonel crashed into the sea after parachuting, and supported the arrival of the rescue vessel by his own inflatable lifeboat.
After returning to Florida Air Force Base, Colonel Claude was ashamed of his shooting down experience. He suffered some shocks while parachuting and was unable to fly the F-16 again for a short time after two days of rest, so he simply went to the E-3 early warning aircraft to serve as air traffic command.
Annoyed Colonel Crowder vowed to pay back to the Aurora Corps, he transferred eight full F-16s. Six AIM-120Ds with a range of nearly two hundred kilometers were mounted, and two carried the 'LRASM' long-range anti-ship missile.
'LRASM' is a sharp sword specially developed by the US military to attack high-value targets at sea. It has a range of up to 800 kilometers and is highly intelligent. As long as it finds a target, it can fly autonomously until it destroys the target. It can be launched from outside the zone and stealthily penetrates, posing a great threat to warships.
Lieutenant Colonel Crowder carried this fierce weapon because the senior executives of Inkley were unable to bear the continued control of the aircraft carrier 'Kennedy' by the Aurora Corps. In the current situation that Havana is obviously unable to support them, they are afraid that this aircraft carrier will escape, so they will have to destroy it if they cannot sink.
The F-16 can carry a combat radius of more than 2,000 kilometers with the auxiliary fuel tank, and can fly from Florida to the west coast of Mexico. After a period of recent combat analysis, this area is considered to be the active area of ​​the 'Kennedy' aircraft carrier.
Colonel Crowd was in the cabin of the flying E-3 early warning aircraft, staring at the radar screen and looking at the airspace and sea maps, wondering how to find the target. His plan was to cross the Yucatan peninsula into the west coast of Mexico and use phased array radar on the early warning aircraft to search the entire sea.
Eight F-16s, as E-3's personal guards, could theoretically block any attack. There are early warning aircraft, the fleet is not afraid of any sneak attack. As long as the goal is found, this mission will definitely succeed.
"Sinking an aircraft carrier is the most glorious moment for a pilot. In the past few decades, no aircraft carrier has been sunk. Today I want to make history!"
Lieutenant Colonel Crowder felt that he was simply being blessed by God, and the last time he was forced to parachute was a blessing for disaster. This is a mission that can be famous in history!
You must know that the Aurora Corps is a toothless tiger, and the most important equipment left is the 100,000-ton war monster that sails on the sea. In order to get the war monster, Zhou Qingfeng Peng was bleeding to get the war monster, but now he has to destroy it.
Seeing that the Aurora Corps would not be able to support it in Cuba, Inkley was afraid that the backbone of the Corps would flee this giant ship to escape, thinking about sinking or damaging it.
In short, Victor Hugo's scourge must not be allowed to escape again. Inkley has been tormented by this guy up and down, in order to get rid of even the precious aircraft carrier.
Lieutenant Colonel Claude now killed with a powerful air strike force. This time, he played a twelve-point spirit, never indifferent to the enemy, and must remove the demon for the United States.
While crossing the Yucatan Peninsula, the airbase behind Florida sent a message asking whether Colonel Crowd would go to Merida. The three Mexican divisions fighting in Merida are inextricably linked to the Liberation Army of Mexico and suffer heavy casualties.
Major General Brenita of the First Mexican Mixed Division begged even on the radio: "We devoted one battalion to one in Merida's street fighting, and countless people died in streets and houses. Our entire division has already With more than half of the casualties, you can shoot at the ground! "
Colonel Claude did not respond at all to the appeal of the Mexican government forces on the ground. He directly rejected this crying request for help, and there was only one goal in his mind, which was the aircraft carrier! Aircraft carrier! Aircraft carrier!
What merit can be created by sweeping the ground? What we want to do is kill an aircraft carrier!
With excitement and a great mission, the Crowder fleet flew more than three hours in the air and finally arrived on the west coast of Mexico. The radar on the back of the E-3 'Wanglou' early warning aircraft glanced at the surrounding hundreds of kilometers of sea. All the people opened their eyes wide. As a result ...
Didn't even see Mao!
Uh ... why not?
Colonel Crowd took the air commander in the cabin to stare at the radar screen, and looked at every pixel. But whether it's the sea or the land, there are only nine planes of their own on the west coast of Mexico. Empty elsewhere!
What about aircraft carriers?
It doesn't make sense!
Yesterday, the propeller-borne aircraft of the Aurora Corps still attacked the Mexican government forces outside Merida. Why are they gone today?
These grandchildren are not in this area. Where can they go?
In anti-ship operations, the most important thing is not how far the missile is fired, nor how powerful the missile is, but how to find an opponent in the vast sea. Americans used to have satellites, huge aerial surveillance systems, and various sensor vehicles, but these things are now gone.
Colonel Claude killed the west coast of Mexico with enthusiasm, but one of the most important questions that came up in his and his heads was where did the 100,000-ton carrier go?
"Climb up and expand your search." Colonel Crowde was reconciled. He ordered the E-3 to fly to a ceiling of 12,000 kilometers so that the radar could see as far as possible.
But still nothing!
Is that aircraft carrier invisible?
The eight F-16s who followed E-3 played soy sauce at EbookFREE.me ~ and circled around their boss. The pilot flying the plane asked the boss again and again on the radio, what should I do now?
"You are also expanding your search," Colonel Crowd ordered unwillingly. The eight F-16s can only choose one direction and continue to fly outward for a distance, and turn on the radar to search outwards.
However, flying from Florida, almost reached the limit of F-16 combat radius. It flew for another two or three hundred kilometers, and the entire fleet still found nothing. Lieutenant Colonel Claude rushed over with confidence and rushed away, but he lost everything!
Is there anything wrong?
"The Victor Hugo went there?" Colonel Crowder, who had been hit hard, was almost furious. But his F-16 must now return home, otherwise there will be no way to land safely.
God, why is this happening? Lieutenant Colonel Crowd really didn't understand, why did the aircraft carrier 'Kennedy' disappear for no reason?
Really come from happiness, come back from failure!
