Chapter 340: The war begins, Tomahawk cruise missiles strike with precision
From June 6st to July 1st, Jiang Hua fully operated the base's production line to replace some advanced equipment for the front line and provide more advanced precision-guided munitions.
This also gives front-line troops more means to attack the enemy.
A little more preparation means fewer casualties among soldiers on the front lines.
In the future, we will change our equipment while fighting.
At the same time, the Far East Military Region and the Northwest Military Region also dispatched a large number of CH-1 Sentinel drones and various reconnaissance aircraft and satellites to conduct reconnaissance on the front line.
When a target is discovered, it will be marked in detail on the map. The staff will then analyze the target and decide whether to give priority to it.
Faced with the drones flying around in the sky, it was almost difficult for Tsarist Russia to detect them.
However, they had also sensed that war was approaching, and both the Novosibirsk and Kazakh defense lines were on high alert.
In the morning of July 7st.
The clarion call for attack has been sounded, and the three major military branches, the Army, the Air Force, and the Strategic Rocket Force, have simultaneously launched an attack on the front line.
This time the attack on the enemy is comprehensive.
The first to attack were air strike forces that launched medium- and long-range strikes under the cover of EF-111 Raven electronic warfare aircraft.
The target of the air strike was the discovered Tsarist Russian radar station.
Their radar technology originated from England, and then they developed their own technology based on the English radar technology.
At present, Tsarist Russia has put into service many types of radars, and deployed them in large numbers on the front lines, closely monitoring every move of the ancient country.
These radars pose a great threat to the ancient country's air force, so they are also the first targets to be attacked.
Gorny is located about 200 kilometers east of the Ob River. It is an ordinary town located on the front line but off the Far Eastern Railway.
The town is built on the hillside, on the edge of the pristine jungle.
Tsarist Russia built a complete radar air defense network on the mountain of Goneril, which could monitor all large and small fighter jets within a radius of more than 200 kilometers.
Since this radar is often turned on, its location has long been discovered by strategic electronic reconnaissance aircraft.
Two F-16 fighter jets and an EF-111 Raven electronic warfare aircraft were responsible for the raid.
When the two F-80 fighter jets were about 16 kilometers away from the target, they began to release the AGM-88 HARM anti-radiation missiles they were carrying.
This anti-radiation missile is also the next-generation upgraded product of the AGM-54 Shrike anti-radiation missile.
It has the characteristics of fire and forget, long range and great power. Even if the enemy suddenly turns off the radar, the missile will still launch an attack on the location of the locked target.
This is something the moose cannot do.
Several missiles flew along the predetermined route.
When the seeker received the radiation signal emitted by the Tsarist Russian radar, it directly locked onto the target radiation source.
Amidst exclamations and screams, several radars were successfully destroyed in the explosion.
The EF-111 Raven electronic warfare aircraft can basically determine that the target has been destroyed after receiving no radar signal.
This beyond-visual-range strike mode outside the defense zone was also used for the first time by the ancient country's air force, and the effect was very good.
Less than an hour after the war began, almost all the radars deployed by Tsarist Russia on the front line were eliminated.
Even if there are fish that slip through the net, as long as they turn on the aircraft, the RC-135 strategic electronic reconnaissance aircraft hovering outside the war zone will quickly lock onto the enemy and locate them, and then mobilize fighter jets to carry out long-range strikes.
Destroying the radar was equivalent to destroying the eyes of Tsarist Russia, and the air force began to deploy on a large scale.
Ob, as the core of the Novosibirsk Defense Line, was also the primary target of the ancient country's three major military branches.
The army also deployed a new type of force.
About 500 kilometers away from the front line, beside the highway, there are four-wheeled multi-purpose light tactical off-road vehicles with single launch boxes erected, neatly arranged.
This unit is affiliated with the Far East Military District Command and is directly under the command of the command. It is only one battalion in size.
The weapon equipped by this battalion is a combination of the Red Alert version of the Mengshi vehicle and the Tomahawk missile launch box.
An AGM-109 Tomahawk cruise missile is placed in the launch box.
This weapon is also the Army's only weapon with long-range precision strike capability.
It is also the Army’s only weapon with a range of more than 1000 kilometers.
"emission!"
When all vehicles completed their pre-launch preparations, with a command, one Tomahawk cruise missile after another quickly took off into the air under the power of solid rocket boosters.
When it reaches a certain altitude, the turbofan engine at the tail begins to ignite.
At the same time, the missile began to enter a low-altitude subsonic cruise state according to the predetermined route.
The Tomahawk cruise missile can fly almost close to the ground with its performance.
There was absolutely no possibility that Tsarist Russia would discover it.
The Strategic Rocket Forces also launched strikes at the same time.
This time, the Strategic Rocket Force did not use new models of tactical missiles, but chose to clear its inventory.
The missile they are equipped with in largest number is the Changkong-8 tactical ballistic missile, with a total number of over a thousand.
The latest model of the Changkong-12 tactical ballistic missile has a maximum range of 1800 kilometers and a hit accuracy of less than 20 meters.
As the Changkong-800 tactical ballistic missiles with a range of 8 kilometers took off, a dense group of missiles, dozens in number, was formed in the air soon.
And this is just the first round.
The main targets of the Air Force were the front-line airports of Tsarist Russia.
The Air Force dispatched more than 200 F-15 and F-16 fighter jets to carry out air strikes.
The main force for ground attack is the F-16 fighter.
They also carried a large number of satellite-guided glide bombs on this operation.
This glide-guided bomb with all-weather attack capability has become the main force of the Air Force's precision ground strikes.
Although its accuracy is not as good as that of laser-guided bombs, the difference is not very big, and it can achieve an accuracy of within 10 meters.
The accuracy of laser-guided bombs is only 5 meters.
The popularity of radio in the Tsarist Russian army is still very high. It has basically been popularized to the battalion level, and the company level has also been equipped with portable walkie-talkies imported from ancient countries.
For the ancient country, it is actually very easy to find the Tsarist Russian headquarters, unless they do not use radio.
Otherwise, as soon as their radios are active, they will be accurately located by patrolling strategic electronic reconnaissance aircraft.
There are currently more than 200 command posts located on the Novosibirsk Defense Line alone.
Most of these commands are at the battalion and regiment level, and there are also divisional, army, group army and front headquarters located in the rear.
The Tomahawk cruise missile is used to carry out precision strikes against high-value enemy targets.
The Tomahawk cruise missiles dropped from the sky and penetrated the target area before the enemy could react.
"boom....."
A warhead weighing more than 300 kilograms can easily destroy an enemy headquarters with certain protective capabilities after the explosion.
As long as the enemy's command center does not move, the Tomahawk cruise missile can accurately hit the target.
More than 70 percent of the Tomahawk cruise missiles hit their targets, destroying more than 30 command posts.
The Air Force's targets were not limited to front-line airfields.
High-value targets with very limited capabilities, such as command centers, are also within the strike range.
Tomahawk cruise missiles are expensive and cannot be used as a primary means of attack.
Cheap satellite-guided bombs are the most cost-effective precision-guided weapons.
As a multi-purpose fighter, the F-16 is the main model for carrying satellite-guided bombs.
Every time an F-16 drops a bomb, it means that a target below is destroyed.
A large number of Tsarist Russian troops, including large-scale armored forces, were assembled in the rear area of the Ob front.
Targets such as troop assembly areas, power plants, arsenals, and railway stations are all within the strike range of the Changkong-8 tactical ballistic missile.
When the Changkong-8 tactical missile falls from the sky, it marks the beginning of the enemy's nightmare.
At this time, in the underground command post in the city of Ob, Army General Alexi, the commander-in-chief of the front line, was also caught off guard.
He had thought of many ways of being attacked, but this way of attack was something he had never heard of or seen before.
