Chapter 955： Tomahawk launch

Without GPS correction, in the long voyage, the inertial navigation system will continue to have errors, which requires the correction of the digital map. In the mountains, the terrain is undulating, and the data correction is easy, but on the plains, you can't find more. Landmarks are difficult to correct. At the same time, high mountains and the like can also easily conceal the missiles. After all, there are few people there and it is not easy to be detected.

Therefore, as long as you know where the other party launched from and where the target is, you can infer its approximate course of action.

Or, use this report to find out where the opponent's Tomahawk missiles may appear, and then set up an ambush from the middle?

Although the Tomahawk missile shows off its might in later generations, its advantage is that it flies at ultra-low altitude and is quite concealed. If the route is known, it is easy to kill it. Rifles, may knock down Tomahawk missiles.

This is a subsonic missile, the flight speed is very slow, and during the flight, it will never do any maneuvering, so it is the most suitable target.

However, if this is the case, it will be too cheap for the Americans. Our current tactical thinking is to create chaos. In this case, we might as well give the Americans another chance like this!

"Mr. Lal, I have an idea." Andrei said to Günter-Lar. "The Americans are going to launch Tomahawk missiles, and we can help them."

…

Italy, Sicily.

The Mediterranean climate is warm and pleasant, and Sicily is a quiet and peaceful scene. The coast of the island is full of tall trees and lush greenery, while the central part of the island is full of high mountains and unique landscapes. quite a lot of people.

But now, in a valley in the middle, the Italian troops on patrol are on high alert, and the entire valley is under martial law. In the valley, several large four-axle-driven vehicles are preparing nervously and orderly.

The rough off-road tires, the humming engine, and the six-mounted launch tube at the top. At this time, the car's launch tube is slowly rising under the support of the hydraulic cylinder. In the operating room in front of the vehicle, several operators are being nervously prepared.

"The missile has been detected and the digital map is being loaded."

"The digital map has been loaded, the target is set, the target image is loaded, and the course of action is determined."

"The target is bound and the flight path has been determined."

83 years! The Tomahawk missile has just completed its finalized test flight. Their unit is the first unit equipped with Tomahawk missiles. In order to ensure the smooth operation of these missiles, there are still some of the troops in the unit, which are technicians from the American arms company.

The launch is being carried out according to the correct plan. At this time, the launch of the missile has also entered a tense countdown.

"Waiting for launch order."

Waiting for the launch command! Although all preparations have been completed, the final order has to be issued by Parker Barracks!

At this moment, in Stuttgart, Bernard was looking at a large-scale map in a trance.

"General, the people we ambushed at the base have confirmed that the target is to appear at the Nerfinich Air Force Base. The main activity location is the tower and a small building next to the tower."

The target, of course, is Günter Lal, and Andre! As long as they are killed, the leaderless German army will easily fall apart!

Now, in addition to the urgent establishment of defense lines on the opponent's offensive line by the own army, NATO high-level officials have planned the decapitation operation and used cruise missiles to kill these targets!

The first step is to confirm the location of the target! After all, prisoners of American and British troops were also held there! If the Tomahawk cruise missile hits the wrong way, it will discredit the U.S. military even more!

To this end, they have been confirmed in many ways, including staying in that base and not exposing their own intelligence personnel!

Now, the report of our own intelligence personnel has come, and the target is still there!

After all, the American army and the British army were captured at the House-Hardett Barracks. After that, the dormitory there was temporarily turned into a prison for those prisoners of war.

Moreover, the air base there is the most suitable place to command the German army. It can command both the air force and the ground troops. It is very suitable for them as the headquarters.

Moreover, the reconnaissance during the day has also found that there are dense anti-aircraft firepower, various anti-aircraft missiles and anti-aircraft artillery. live!

Therefore, it can only use cruise missiles!

However, why do I always have an ominous premonition? Could it be that there have been too many failures recently, and it has not been smooth, which has made my spirit a little dazed?

In any case, the battle must continue, and the decapitation operation is the most suitable combat plan, which can obtain the greatest victory at the least cost.

"The timing is right now, our missiles need to fly for an hour, and they are launched now. When we arrive there, it is just dusk, when people's vigilance is at their lowest John on the side said: "We can't wait any longer. . "

Can't wait any longer!

"Order, launch immediately, target unchanged, tower, command center, hangar at Nelfenig Air Force Base," Bernard said.

His order was quickly transmitted to Sicily. After receiving the order, the finger of the missile operator pressed the red launch button.

There is no ground shaking, there is no spectacular sight, this is not a ballistic missile, just a small missile with a length of five or six meters!

The booster at the tail ignited first, pushing the missile out of the launch tube, and the wings on both sides of the missile stretched out. After flying dozens of meters into the sky, the booster fell off and the main engine ignited.

The small turbofan engine has weak thrust, but the fuel consumption rate is quite low, giving the land-based Tomahawk a range of nearly 3,000 kilometers! American industrial technology is fully reflected here.

(Although my country has also developed cruise missiles, there is always a gap in small turbofan engines, which are large in size, small in thrust, and high in fuel consumption.)

One, another! One launch vehicle has six missiles, and now, the five launch vehicles deployed on the position will launch all the thirty Tomahawk missiles they are carrying within a few minutes!

The missile drilled into the valley in front and disappeared from the sight of the missile soldiers. Soon, it drilled into the sea in northern Sicily and further lowered its height.

The choice to launch in Sicily is to prevent being discovered by the Soviets! Although there are early warning aircraft on the East German side, it is difficult to detect missiles launched from Sicily!

However, they didn't know that when the missile was launched, the infrared rays at the tail had been discovered by the reconnaissance satellites in space. These reconnaissance satellites had been searching Sicily all the time!
