Chapter 1530: Two hundred planes

The maximum take-off weight of the Sea Harrier fighter is 14 tons, but the thrust of its engine is only 9 tons. Therefore, this kind of takeoff must be a short taxi takeoff, using the power of air to take off.
If it is a vertical take-off, the maximum take-off weight is only 8.5 tons. The empty weight of the Sea Harrier is close to 7 tons. At this time, it can only hold less than 2 tons of fuel. What else can it do?
Therefore, when needed, it takes off in a short run. Now, in bad conditions, it can roll. However, once the situation is not good during roll, it must be able to pull up immediately and take off vertically. Don't be afraid.
This also means that it must reduce its own weight.
How to reduce it? By reducing the amount of fuel carried? Of course not. For an airplane, fuel is the most important thing. If it carries too little fuel, it will get off within a few minutes of going up.
If you can't reduce fuel, you can only reduce weapons!
The early series of Harrier fighters are equipped with 7 pylons, including 2 dedicated embedded pylons on both sides of the fuselage, 4 under the wing, and 1 universal pylon in the center of the fuselage. The maximum external weight is less than 3 tons.
In terms of attack, it is mainly the universal pylon in the middle of the fuselage, which can hang free-falling bombs or deceleration bombs, cluster bombs, incendiary bombs, etc. This is also the place with the largest external hanger.
Now there is no need to attack. Of course, these do not need to be mounted. The fuselage is filled with oil, and the fuel tank does not need to be mounted. Only two AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles are mounted. This is enough, anyway. Symbolic.
That's right, in everyone's eyes, it is considered to be symbolic, that is to save face, even if it is not equipped with missiles, just take off a plane and expel it in the past.
After all, the relationship between Han and Niu has been good over the years. When Han opened the country, Niu’s company was the first to cooperate with Han. What kind of Spey engine, what 105mm tank gun, etc., were exported. It belongs to the country of cattle.
Now, Han people don’t know how to be grateful! It's just a small piece of land, can't we extend the lease?
In their thoughts, the operators on the deck, in the midst of the violent shaking, removed the auxiliary fuel tank and the missile. The pylons on the wing were originally full, but now, there are only two missiles left. That's it.
Lieutenant Ian Watson, nicknamed "Soap", now he is in the cockpit, watching the deck crew remove the missiles, and he feels more confident.
Originally, watching the can go up, it almost fell into the sea and turned into a can of water. If his soap fell, would it be full of foam?
Now, finally, there are only two rattlesnakes left. If he can't fly anymore under this mounted situation, it would be a complete shame.
Turn on the afterburner, at maximum speed, and rush toward the flying deck! Sure enough, his fighter plane became lighter. As a result, he had been blown to the side before jumping on the flying deck. Amidst the exclamations of everyone, he quickly switched and turned into a vertical take-off! The methane nozzle continuously spouted a stream of gas, adjusting the state of the plane, and his takeoff seemed even more thrilling.
Fortunately, the second fighter plane has already taken off!
Then, will the third one be released?
The other side only has two incoming planes. According to this ratio, is it enough for one's side to send two planes to expel them?
While General Goodwood was still hesitating, on the Aquaman early warning helicopter, the ball on the right side of the fuselage had already begun to rotate. After ninety degrees, it began to descend, and at the same time, it extended a part of it. It can avoid being disturbed by the helicopter's own body.
The opponent is flying close to the surface of the water and flying towards you at an ultra-low altitude. At this time, your shipborne radar must have entered the blind zone. Only by moving the radar into the air can you find the enemy's ultra-low altitude aircraft on the sea. .
If we had this kind of helicopter early warning system in the war on Donkey Island, we could avoid many tragedies!
As the radar officer thought about it, he started to turn on the Thorne-EM1 search radar, which was specially optimized to detect and classify small, fast targets in the air and on the water 100 nautical miles away under high sea conditions.
Now, even though the waves below are very large, they are confident that they can find the target. Even if the data processing capacity on their helicopters is insufficient, they can still be passed on to the warship to continue processing.
Just as the bright line on the radar screen turned around, the radar officer suddenly opened his mouth wide and murmured: "Impossible, impossible, something must be wrong!"
"The Joyeux, Joyeux, discovered that a large number of aircraft from the Han country, more than two hundred in number, are heading towards our fleet. This is a saturation strike, this is a saturation strike!"
Saturation attack is a terrible attack method. Any defense has a certain firepower channel. Even the Aegis system, which is famous for resisting saturation attack, can intercept no more than four targets at the same time, because warships The target on the illuminating radar is so much.
As long as the enemy’s flying missiles exceed this number, they will not be able to intercept them completely, and there will be fish that slip through the net. The Aegis system is like this, not to mention their sea javelin system! Needless to say, two hundred, or twenty targets, have already exceeded the interception capability of the entire fleet. Otherwise, why did they wait for it in the last naval battle on Donkey Island? There were still Silver Nation attack planes entering their defense circle. , Threw the bomb down?
They absolutely cannot prevent attacks from so many targets, Han Chinese, are they crazy? This is no ordinary confrontation, war, this is totally war!
If they do launch missiles, then hundreds of missiles will fly over and the entire formation will disappear!
"Well, what are you so panic? The face of the Daniel Empire has lost all of you! It is impossible for any enemy to send more than 200 aircraft to attack us without warning, even for the Han people!"
When the news came back to the mothership, everyone was panicked, but General Goodwood, who had been anxious, calmed down at this time.
Han people, play mystery! General Goodwood knew immediately, if there were twenty, he would really worry about it, but now, two hundred?
The total number of aircrafts in all the nearby aviation bases of the Han State, even the backward J-6 and J-7 fighters, there is not a hundred!
If Han was able to assemble such a large aviation force, it would definitely be an act of war, and the Eagle would have given them a war warning long ago!
When everyone was in a hurry, the experienced Admiral Goodwood immediately calmed down. The Han people distributed flyers last night and they must have taken action today. Now, this level of confrontation is completely within their reach.
