Chapter 333 Hunting time, but the roles are reversed
“What’s going on with the air reconnaissance?! Why is the target not found!”
“Sir, the target is too small, only 50 meters in size It is less than and suspected of having optical and infrared stealth capabilities." Faced with the question from his immediate superior, the air defense commander explained bravely.
"Where is the TMD air radar? Didn't the radar detect it?"
Viscount York was obviously not satisfied with this explanation, and his tone of voice became less polite at this time.
"Target. The target's RCS (Radar Cross Section) is too small. You will know just by looking at this."
The air defense commander, sweating profusely, threw a quickly generated chart on the main body of the battleship. On the screen, Viscount York's face immediately became serious after seeing it.
Because it was indeed the first time for him to see such a small unit as RCS in space combat.
Although HCPs are smaller in size, only at the 10-meter level, they do not have any stealth configuration that cannot hold them up, and the various bits and pieces on their bodies further amplify the radar stealth cross section.
But the RCS of these three unknown units are too small. Viscount York immediately suspected that they should be some kind of aircraft with a stealth configuration and a small enough frontal cross-section.
To be honest, according to the data projected now, the fleet air defense team can detect the target at a distance of 3,000 kilometers, which is actually an extraordinary performance.
Right now, this high-speed raid has already begun. There is no turning back, and it is impossible for the entire escort detachment to stop combat operations because of the appearance of these three unknown units.
“A high-speed, stealth, and miniaturized stealth bomber? Hasn’t this thing been eliminated long ago?”
An ancient thought that only existed in textbooks flashed through Viscount York’s mind. Early units', this type of unit called stealth bomber was once very popular.
However, after the fleet was gradually equipped with a large number of directed energy air defense weapons, both the stealth bombing boats themselves and the plasma torpedoes they launched had an extremely low survival rate on the battlefield.
When in several battles, the hidden bomb squadron was annihilated by the organic formation before it had time to drop bombs, this unit quickly withdrew from the active equipment sequence of various countries.
"It is impossible to forcefully Charge in under fire?”
After thinking of this, Viscount York quickly made a decision.
"The entire fleet continued to attack, and the three frigates 882, 883, and 885 began to conduct air defense operations to intercept unknown targets!"
Soon, the three frigates who received the order began to maneuver. These units, which were originally responsible for a large number of air security and air defense operations, quickly maneuvered to directly above the escort detachment.
Then, the air defense commanders of the three frigates discovered that they seemed to be unable to stop the three unknown units that were attacking at high speed.
——
"Attention Dunkleosteus team, Megalodon team and Canglong team have been dispatched and are expected to arrive in 2 minutes!"
"Received, we will Prioritize the attack and attract the opponent's attention! Ask them to cooperate!"
Jacob completed a brief communication with the transport fleet, and then pushed the throttle to the 'maximum thrust' position again.
The heavy armored combat boat with the research and development number MA-01 he was driving suddenly lit up the large propulsion array at the rear, and a long trail was quickly dragged out.
"The Dunkleosteus team begins to attack the rollers. The target of the first round of salvo has been marked. After the salvo is over, you can choose the bomb target. Remember. We are not many in number. As long as we cause confusion to the opponent, we will support the main force. The troops have arrived!”
Under Jacob’s order, the three heavy armored combat boats quickly opened up the distance and drew huge concentric circles on the attack route.
The huge forward G force hit instantly. Jacob felt his eyes go dark at first, but after undergoing physical transformation, he quickly adapted.
When Amber offered him an olive branch, he originally had the idea of 'improving' his body and then coming to Atlas for retirement.
As a result, after joining ATT and becoming the first test pilot of MA-01, this idea was immediately thrown out of his mind.
"What are you going to do to get old? A real man should drive a heavy armored combat boat!" This kind of triangular heavy combat boat does not need to maintain the electromagnetic muscles and electromagnetic joints of the whole body like HCP, and many of them are used for Systems for maintaining balance and posture adjustment are also eliminated.
So after installing two large subcritical reactors in one go, the energy supply of the heavy armored combat craft basically only has three directions left - deflection field, main armament , main thruster.
You must know that at the beginning, the extreme Amber actually wanted this armored combat craft to be directly used in the battleship-level fusion furnace.
However, it is still a bit too reluctant to fit a furnace into a length of 50 meters. We can only consider it after the fusion furnace is miniaturized in the future.
At this moment, the high-speed armored combat boat and the three frigates conducting air defense interceptions pulled out extremely high angular speeds, and the electromagnetic reconnection cannon's firing basically couldn't keep up.
Even the charged particle cannon and high-energy laser turret, the speed of the turret has become a bit limited at this time.
Since this escort detachment of the Imperial Royal Navy is in the process of a high-speed raid, the three frigates do not dare to change their axes rashly, because this will easily lead to conflicts due to inconsistent acceleration. The army is out of touch.
So they can now only rely on the weapons arranged on the ship and equipped with omnidirectional turrets to attack. This is also one of the pain points for frigates at this stage when performing fleet air defense missions.
At this moment, the air defense commanders on the three frigates were sweating profusely because they discovered that the protection of these three high-speed units was better than they thought.
The fastest high-energy laser to track a target is like tickling the opponent, leaving only a few burn marks, and the opponent will immediately perform evasive maneuvers to avoid the rays.
And if the charged particle beam swept out by the charged particle cannon is swept up, it will be blocked by the deflection force field that suddenly lights up.
"What kind of weird thing is this? It's so fast and the protection is so good"
The air defense commander of one of the frigates was sitting in his virtual cabin to simulate it' God's Perspective' When commanding the entire ship's air defense operations, the alarm suddenly sounded.
"Warning, a strong electric field has been detected! It is judged to be a heavy particle cannon fire!"
As soon as he finished speaking, six bright blue-white beams of light suddenly flashed in the dark night sky, and their impact points were all concentrated on on a frigate.
The pitiful top deck defense of the Imperial Royal Navy's Confession-class frigate was exposed at this moment.
The twin heavy particle cannons carried by the MA-01 directly shredded the top armor plate that was not protected by a deflection field.
The gap created by the concentrated fire attack quickly spewed out gas that had not had time to be evacuated, and the attitude of the entire battleship began to lose control, like a flying garbage bag, throwing away a large amount of debris and unlucky The crew members were thrown out.
The shocked air defense commander had no time to mourn for the friendly forces, and immediately shouted on the joint command channel:
"Quick, quick, quick! All the anti-aircraft artillery groups opened fire! The other side fired heavy particle cannons. This It will deflect the force field and it will definitely not have time to restore the energy supply!”
For a time, in addition to the two frigates that were performing air defense missions, several surrounding warships also began to use the secondary weapons on the ship to fire support! .
The orange ballistics, lasers, and charged particle beams of high-speed tungsten alloy penetrating rods intertwined a rain of death light above the fleet, while the three armored assault boats shuttled flexibly through the rain of light.
And their speed exceeded everyone's expectations. The air defense commander found that their interception window had been compressed many times compared to before. Before the firepower network could even be 'woven', the three ships The armored assault craft was already in the face.
The magazine under the hull of the boat was opened at some point, and a round plasma torpedo quickly detached from its pylon and flew out.
At this moment, this relatively slow weapon, with the speed of the armored assault boat, reached a relative speed that its kind had never reached.
While the Dunkleosteus squadron nimbly passed through the middle of the Imperial escort formation, three huge plasma fireballs also lit up in the fleet behind them.
