Chapter 4248: Phalanx screen

Although the Phalanx system was put into use in the early 1980s, it is mainly equipped with large combat ships. But it includes warning radar, tracking radar, artillery, electronic computer and control panel. The two radars can be used together to determine the target position with a reflection area of ​​0.1 square meters within 5000 meters and calculate its motion parameters. At the same time, it can also monitor the flight trajectory of one's own shells and automatically correct shooting parameters.
This thing was originally used to defend against anti-ship missiles. The principle of action is to dump a large amount of ammunition within a short time of firing. The missile calculated by the radar may form a very dense barrage along the path to achieve the purpose of intercepting and shooting down the missile. .
Using this thing against helicopters is really overkill. The speed of a helicopter is comparable to that of anti-ship missiles. Because the maximum speed of armed helicopters is about 300 kilometers per hour, while anti-ship missiles are 200-900m/s, about 2-3 Mach, and some are even faster.
The helicopter targeted by the Phalanx system can be said to have no room to fight back. Let alone fight back, you can't even escape. A series of red bullets flew in the air, and the six-barreled 20mm automatic rotating artillery fired wildly, and the Phalanx really started.
Several U.S. military helicopters were directly torn apart in the air, and the wreckage was disintegrated and blown to pieces in the air. The fierce Phalanx artillery itself is a big killer for melee air defense. They have not let go of the wreckage flying in the air, and even the wreckage of the helicopter has been continuously exploded.
The personnel of the U.S. naval counter-terrorism force were shocked. The terrorists controlled the destroyer Arleigh Burke? This is simply unimaginable. There are not only Phalanx guns on the destroyer, but also a considerable number of missiles.
The MK-41 vertical launch system is used to launch the standard No. 2 missile. There are 12 sets of eight launchers, four sets are installed in the front of the hull, eight sets in the rear, and one set of eight launchers in the front and rear. If this thing started to fire, the base commander almost jumped from his chair.
Fortunately, the warship does not seem to have any intention of launching, but the US military absolutely dare not send another helicopter. Using a helicopter to break through the Phalanx, this is simply an act of death.
At the same time, the receiving helicopter from Lin Rui and others hurriedly arrived. Several helicopters hovered over the destroyer Arleigh Burke and lowered the ladder.
Lin Rui commanded the soldiers to fight, while waving his hands and shouting loudly, "Cover and evacuate, cover!"
The responders on the helicopter were not soft, and the airborne machine gun kept covering Lin Rui and others. These helicopters caused the US naval anti-terrorism security forces to suffer. They were used to fighting under the cover of armed helicopters from several parties. But I never thought that after the air superiority was mastered by the enemy, the days would be so difficult.
The defense line they had just set up was immediately defeated, and the aerial firepower of the armed helicopters dealt a fatal blow to them. American soldiers began to retreat to find cover. Under the intensive firepower pouring down in the air, that's all they can do.
"Our army was suppressed by helicopter fire. Request fire support, request fire support." The captain of the ship's anti-terrorism security force called out loudly while pressing the communication helmet.
"Hold on, we are sending other teams over." The response from the base made the team leader quite dissatisfied, "They are going to evacuate, they have helicopter fire cover, we can't keep up with them. Our gunship Where? We need air support, repeat, we need air support..."
With a fierce gunfire, the call came to an abrupt end. In the base command, all the faces showed extremely ugly expressions. Everyone knew that the team that was sent first might have been unable to stop the opponent.
"Send fighter planes to intercept or shoot down these helicopters. We must not let them escape." The officer of the ship's anti-terrorism security force patted the table.
"Sorry, without understanding the current situation of the Arleigh Burke destroyer. We'd better not use fighters. Sir, we have several helicopters shot down. We still don’t know the current situation of the Arleigh Burke. There are air-to-air missiles, sir. In this case, we can’t let the fighter take off.
We must regain control of the destroyer Arleigh Burke, and then let the fighters go in pursuit. If the fighters take off at this time, they are likely to be shot down by the anti-aircraft missiles on the ships. I can't give such orders rashly. "The base commander has a different opinion.
"But these terrorists are running away." The commander of the ship's counter-terrorism force gritted his teeth.
"You better pray for them to escape. It is better than the entire Arleigh Burke destroyer falls into their hands." The base commander shook his head. "That warship has 90 standard No. 2 missiles. You really want to Did this ship fall into the hands of terrorists?
These terrorists have no moral bottom line. If they launch these missiles indiscriminately, what serious consequences will this lead to? Have you thought about it? Do you know how many countries have military bases in Djibouti? If these missiles land on the bases of any of these countries, it will be a very serious incident.
We will be in great diplomatic trouble. So, take your people to forcibly board that warship, and control that warship first is our key. "The base commander suddenly turned around, "This is your mission. "
"Yes!" The commander of the ship's anti-terrorism security force suddenly stomped his foot, turned and ordered his security forces to forcibly attack the ship, and must catch up to stop these escaping militants.
But he knew in his heart that this might not help much. Those militants will definitely take a helicopter and fly away. But as the base commander said, the escape of these militants may be a relatively good ending.
They should worry more about the missiles on the destroyer Arleigh Burke than these. Because this is a guided missile destroyer. Once these missiles are fired indiscriminately by out-of-control militants, that is the real death.
Against the strong wind from the helicopter rotor, Lin Rui climbed the ladder to board the helicopter. In the helicopter hatch, Sergey pulled him forward and dragged him into the helicopter cabin. "Boss, fasten the seat belt. The helicopter is about to take off." Sergey pressed him on the chair.
"What about the goods?" Lin Rui asked as he buckled his seat belt.
"It's all in the box. Triple-protected Kevlar material, waterproof and fireproof." Sergey patted the box under his feet. "This thing is worth a lot of money. Even if I am injured, it is impossible to let this The thing is damaged."
