Chapter 822 Shooting Down the F-117 (Part 2)

The SAM-3 missile is an old-style air defense missile from the Soviet Union in the 1950s. The performance of this missile is now very backward. At the same time, it is also a missile exported in large quantities. Compared with the prototype missile, the guidance system of this missile has been upgraded. In addition to using the guidance signal provided by the original guidance radar, a data link has been added, and it can fly by command guidance!

In the Soviet arsenal, it naturally makes sense to choose such a weapon. This missile with a firing altitude of only 15,000 kilometers is enough to cover the combat airspace of stealth aircraft. More importantly, the warhead of this missile is extremely powerful. It uses fragmentation to kill, and the number of fragments can reach 3,670. A simultaneous firing of four missiles can form more than 15,000 fragments.

Although the guidance accuracy is still not enough, but launching four missiles at a time, attacking a target with a salvo, 15,000 pieces of debris are enough to completely cover the F-117's flying airspace! Moreover, this type of missile is cheap, so it doesn't hurt to launch a few more.

Just after Andrei proposed this to Galtieri, Galtieri readily agreed and imported several sets of such combat equipment from the Soviet Union. At the same time, because the technology of these equipment was too advanced, after consultation between the two sides, Argentina's air defense forces did not take over these equipment. All of them were operated by Iraqi soldiers, which was considered a mercenary force.

These soldiers with Iraqi nationality do not look like Middle Easterners at all. They are clearly Slavs, and some are even Russians with high noses. Their certificates still smell of fresh ink.

These radars and anti-aircraft missiles are hidden in the nearby woods during the day and are only secretly deployed after dark. The Argentine Army has imposed martial law around the positions to prevent anyone from infiltrating.

Now, the huge antenna of the meter-wave radar is rotating at a speed of five revolutions per minute, constantly refreshing the information of the surrounding airspace. In the operating cabin, amid the humming sound of the generator truck, the "Iraqi" mercenary radar soldiers wearing Argentine military uniforms are watching the radar screen vigilantly.

Time passed by little by little, eight o'clock, nine o'clock, ten o'clock, eleven o'clock. The radar soldier rubbed his eyes. The shift changed every two hours, and it would be time for another shift soon.

I didn’t find anything. Did I wait in vain tonight?

Just as his mind wandered, an echo suddenly popped up on the radar! The waveform was very weak and very vague, but it was definitely not interference!

The Americans are really bold. They didn't even use electronic jammers but directly sent stealth aircraft!

In fact, we can’t blame the Americans for being bold. They do this to keep it secret. If an electronic jammer follows, it would be telling the Argentines to be prepared, because stealth aircraft are coming!

Anyway, in this era, the technology of stealth aircraft is advanced. The Soviets can't do anything about stealth aircraft, let alone a small Argentina! Therefore, it is safer for the stealth aircraft to come alone!

They didn't know that on the ground, two meter-wave radars in search mode had already discovered them!

"Quick, start the computer system and conduct online analysis!" the bearded commander shouted, his voice filled with excitement.

The target has been found here, and then another radar has also found the target! The computer system started up quickly, and the program that embodied the wisdom of Soviet radar scientists was running quickly. A large amount of data was continuously summarized and then displayed on the radar display, accurately capturing the target! Sixty kilometers away, about to cross the La Plata River!

"Keep refreshing normally, notify the missile troops, and prepare to launch missiles!"

In the open space in front of the Presidential Palace, the quadruple missile launcher began to rotate. Four SAM-3 missiles were aimed at the north. The guidance radar at the back was also ready to start at any time, trying to capture the target under the guidance of the meter-wave radar. At the same time, it was also continuously receiving data transmitted by the radar through the data link, ready to guide the missile.

The Presidential Palace, as one of the targets that the Americans will definitely attack, is also the focus of Argentina's defense. It is close to the river bank and is at high risk of being attacked.

The stealth aircraft in the sky is also approaching rapidly!

"Twenty kilometers to the target. Make final preparations before the attack." Whitley broke the radio silence. This was the only order he gave during the entire attack.

At the same time, Whitley began to operate his fighter plane and checked the coordinates for the last time. A 908 kg GBU-10 laser-guided bomb in the bomb bay had also been activated.

Blowing up the other side's presidential palace would be the biggest blow to the other side! And the other laser-guided bomb would blow up the Ministry of Defense building next to it! It would just be a side job!

Infrared images began to appear on the display in the cockpit. As the river water gradually disappeared, the capital of Argentina appeared in front!

The laser transmitter under the belly of the plane was ready to send out a laser signal. Whitley took a deep breath. This was just an ordinary attack operation like an exercise!

Prepare to bomb!

"Fire!" Seeing that the enemy had approached their important position and was only ten kilometers away from their anti-aircraft missile position, the commander of the anti-aircraft missile company gave the order to open fire.

Fire! The quadruple SAM-3 anti-aircraft missiles, with blazing flames coming out of their tails, left the launch pad one after another, and pierced the sky!

At the same time, the guidance radar is also turned on quickly at this moment! If the target can be captured, it will be guided by the guidance radar. If it cannot be captured, it will be guided by radio commands and receive the command guidance from the meter-wave radar!

A faint echo appeared on the guidance radar screen, and the radar soldier shouted happily: "Found the target, prepare to switch to manual tracking!"

Stealth fighters are not absolutely invisible, they just reflect small radar echoes! When the radar power is increased to a certain level, it is still easy to be found at close range! And now the guidance radar has increased the power by ten times!

Two SAM-3 missiles switched to radar guidance, while the other two SAM-3 missiles continued to use radio command guidance.

Four missiles, dragging flames, flew into the sky! After the boosters burned out, they fell off, and the main engine continued to ignite. The missiles sprinted to Mach 2.5! A distance of ten kilometers, for them, would take less than 20 seconds!
