Chapter 344: Ask experts for help
Among the secrets of victory summarized by the People's Army, there is one: "Learn war from war, and summarize war from experience."
It can be understood as a more advanced version of not being arrogant in victory and not being discouraged in defeat.
This is also a fine tradition that our army has inherited to this day.
Therefore, when Kang Shijun picked up the microphone next to him and sat up straight to speak, everyone in the venue, including several leaders on the podium, took out pens and notebooks to take notes.
“Dear leaders and comrades, my name is Kang Shijun, so I won't introduce myself too much.”
“During the embankment building operation, the No. 9301 Y-8J maritime surveillance aircraft I commanded, codenamed 'Polaris', was responsible for attracting the attention of the opponent's carrier-based aircraft, searching for the location of the target fleet, and conducting simulated command of the tactical aircraft formation performing the mission.”
"According to the plan, our aircraft will operate at the edge of the opponent's carrier-based aircraft's combat radius to avoid direct contact with the enemy and delay its return as much as possible. However, during the actual execution of the mission, our aircraft was intercepted by the enemy's carrier-based aircraft. The two Sea Harrier fighter jets suffered severe electromagnetic interference when they were about 80 kilometers apart and about 220 kilometers away from the opponent's fleet. Even after switching several modes according to the usual training methods, it was still ineffective. "
"Because our aircraft lost its target, after continuing to fly for 30 seconds, it chose to turn to direction 45 according to the backup plan, and then flew in a zigzag route. After 10 minutes, the interference disappeared and the radar working status returned to normal. Then it returned due to insufficient fuel. There was no visual contact with enemy aircraft throughout the entire process.”
“Throughout the entire mission, our aircraft completed the task of attracting the attention of the carrier-based aircraft, but due to the failure of the radar, it was unable to command the combat aircraft…”
Since the mission experience of Yun 8J was generally relatively simple, and Kang Shijun also maintained the conciseness and ability unique to soldiers when speaking, it only took about ten minutes to conclude this summary.
However, in just these ten minutes, the entire venue fell into silence.
Just before his speech, although everyone had become serious, they still had the mentality of winning a great victory, and the excitement had not passed yet.
Now, Kang Shijun's report was like a bucket of ice water falling down, making everyone completely regain their composure.
Just because the results are good, it does not mean that there are no problems.
“First of all, I feel that after all, everyone fought a good battle, and it was a tough battle, so there is no need to make the atmosphere too heavy because of this incident.”
Yang Shuyu, who was still presiding over the meeting, broke the silence:
"However, as the Y-8J is an important part of our navy's anti-ship operations, the reason why such a big problem occurred in this mission that is closest to actual combat still needs to be clarified. Next, we are going to hold this Zhuge Liang meeting. I want to hear Let's hear your thoughts from the grassroots commanders and fighters who are on the front lines.”
“Actually, our crew made some summaries after returning home, and the engineers from the electronics group on site also analyzed the data we brought back.”
The speaker was Shen Tao, the commander of the 4th Regiment of the 2nd Hainan Division and the captain of the 9301th flight 8J.
"I participated in the confrontation exercise organized by the Navy a few months ago. The red team on the other side at that time was the No. 22 JH-7 that also participated in this mission. It also implemented very successful electromagnetic interference against us, causing me to The aircraft lost its target at the last moment of guiding the sea attack, but the characteristics of the interference we encountered this time were completely different from those before. "
“Judging from the situations encountered during the mission, Electronics Group engineers believe that the other party should have implemented some kind of very targeted interference.”
“Targeted jamming…”
The pilot of one of the JH-7 frowned slightly when he heard this.
In terms of organization, these two electronic warfare aircraft are also affiliated to the 4th Hainan Airlines Regiment like the Yun-8J. However, because the ground support team at the Donglai base does not have the ability to maintain the JH-7 platform for the time being, these two aircraft were transferred to Qingtang. Before participating in intensive training, I had been parked at Factory 172.
Even the four pilots were temporarily loaned from the East China Sea Fleet Aviation Force, so they were not very familiar with their nominal commander Shen Tao.
"But you were more than 200 kilometers away from the British fleet at the time. Targeted jamming relied heavily on reconnaissance parameters. At this distance... whether it was their shipborne radar or the airborne radar on the Sea Harrier, it was difficult to accurately detect you. , it shouldn't be so obviously affected.” As electronic warfare pilots, they have also gained a lot of relevant knowledge during this period, and understand that interference with radar, especially small and large interference, is actually not harmful. easy.
Some relatively “smart” interference methods such as convolutional deception interference and motion modulation interference require not only the stable interception of radar signal characteristics, but also the accurate acquisition of target position, speed, height and other information.
In other words, for radars with little difference in performance, the anti-interference ability of air platforms is inherently better than that of land-based/sebased platforms.
The weapons controller of another No. 21 JH-7, the one who took the photo of Wang Wei, expressed a different opinion:
"But if they use cover jamming, then we will definitely be affected. But the actual situation is that our passive detection radar only found a very clean S-band, which is the long-range on several destroyers and frigates in the opponent's fleet. The signal emitted by the warning radar..."
Even after more than a month of joint training, most pilots can only say that they have a basic concept of electronic interference and cannot grasp the specific principles. Therefore, they can only look at a few things with some confusion. A quarrel between two special aircraft pilots.
However, the results are very obvious.
It is that they failed to argue to a final result.
“In terms of electronic warfare, if you really want to be an expert, I know two of them…”
After several major combat forces were already thirsty, Commander Shen Tao suddenly proposed a compromise opinion:
“Why don't we ask a foreign aid to ask?”
Shen Tao's suggestion quickly won unanimous approval from the participants, so the discussion on the disruption to sports naturally came to an end.
Then the next topic comes.
Yang Shuyu took out a photo from the briefcase he carried with him and placed it on the slide base.
An unclear outline was displayed on the big screen.
But everyone from the navy can still see some clues.
“It seems like a submarine?”
“That's right.”
Yang Shuyu nodded,
“This was taken by someone near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and it was determined to be a Trafalgar-class attack nuclear submarine, which is in the fleet of Wave 97.”
“But we didn't find it the whole time.”
It's the end of the year, and my own project also needs year-end settlement and progress reports, so it should be difficult to update in the second half of the month...
