Chapter 344: Ask experts to 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.
So, 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 under my command, codenamed 'Polaris', was responsible for Attract the attention of the opponent's carrier-based aircraft, search for the location of the target fleet, and conduct 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. In order to avoid direct contact with the enemy and delay its return as much as possible, during the actual execution of the mission, our aircraft was about 80 kilometers away from the two Sea Harrier fighter jets that came to intercept, and about 220 kilometers away from the opponent's fleet. It suffered severe electromagnetic interference, and after switching several modes according to the usual training methods, it still failed."
"Because my aircraft lost the target, after continuing to fly for 30 seconds, I chose to turn according to the backup plan. to the 45th direction, and then flew a zigzag route. After 10 minutes, the interference disappeared and the radar returned to normal. Then it returned due to insufficient fuel, and there was no visual contact with the enemy aircraft throughout the whole process.”
"Throughout the entire mission, our aircraft completed the task of attracting the attention of carrier-based aircraft, but due to radar failure, 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 concise and capable manner unique to military personnel, 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 basin of ice water falling down the head, making everyone completely regain their composure.
Just because the results are good, does not mean 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 presided over the meeting, broke the silence :
“However, the Y-8J, as an important part of our navy’s anti-ship operations, has such a big problem in this mission that is closest to actual combat. The reason still needs to be clarified. What we need to do next is I am holding this Zhuge Liang meeting to hear your thoughts from the grassroots commanders and fighters who have been on the front line. "
"In fact, after our crew returned, they made some summaries themselves, and the engineers of the electronics group on site also analyzed it. The data we brought back.”
The person speaking was Shen Tao, commander of the 4th Regiment of the 2nd Hainan Airlines Division and the captain of the 9301th Yun 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 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 jamming."
"Targeted jamming..."
The pilot of one of the J-Handian 7 was slightly stunned when he heard this. He frowned.
In terms of organization, these two electronic warfare aircraft are also affiliated to the 4th Hainan Airlines Regiment like the Yun-8J. However, since 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 Before transferring to Qingtang to participate in intensive training, he was parked in Factory 172.
Even the four pilots were temporarily loaned from the East China Sea Fleet Air 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. This distance...whether it was their shipborne radar or the airborne radar on the Sea Harrier, it was necessary to It is difficult for you to accurately detect it, so it should not be so obviously affected. "As electronic warfare pilots, they have also gained a lot of relevant knowledge during this period, and understand the interference with radar, especially with small objects. Broad interference is actually not 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 the target's position, speed, height and other information.
In other words, for radars with little performance difference, the anti-interference ability of air platforms is inherently better than that of land-based/sea-based 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 have to do it too. It’s okay to be affected, but the actual situation is that our passive detection radar only discovered a very clean S-band, which is the signal emitted by the long-range warning radar on several destroyers and frigates in the opponent’s fleet..."
Even after more than a month of joint training, most pilots can only say that they have a basic concept of electronic jamming 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.
But the result is very obvious.
It’s just 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:
“How about we ask a foreign aid to ask?”
……
Shen Tao’s suggestion was quickly unanimously approved by the participants. Therefore, the discussion on the interference of sports 8J naturally comes to an end.
Then comes the next topic.
Yang Shuyu took out a photo from the briefcase he carried with him and placed it on the slide base.
An unclear outline appeared 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 photographed near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and it was determined to be a Trafalgar-class attack nuclear submarine. Inside the Hailang 97 fleet.”
“But we didn’t find it the whole time.”
At the end of the year, my own project also needs to do the year-end settlement and progress report, so the second half of the year. It should be difficult to add more updates every month...
