Beidou-1 belongs to the dual-star positioning principle. As long as two satellites are launched in geosynchronous orbit, the user's position can be determined. However, in this process, two-way communication between the user and the satellite is required. In other words, the user needs to transmit radio signals. In the military, it is easy to expose one's goals.

Therefore, although Beidou-1 was launched and networked quickly, its military use was still limited. It was only the first attempt by Eastern astronauts to develop a satellite navigation system.

With the successful experience of Beidou-1, Eastern astronauts continued their efforts and developed the Beidou-2 system. According to the plan, this satellite navigation system will use 5 geostationary orbit satellites and 30 non-geostationary orbit satellites. Because of the The number is high enough, so it can provide users with more precise location and time information, and it does not require users to emit electromagnetic waves, just like GPS.

GPS belongs to the Americans. The Americans may pull a trick at any time to cut off the satellite signal and blind those who need it. The civilian system will at best be unable to find its way, but for military purposes, it will cause big trouble. Think about it. You know how scary it is: armies are rapidly interspersed, fighter planes fly long distances, and missiles attack targets. If the satellite navigation signal is suddenly lost in the process, there will be big trouble.

 In the era without satellite navigation, wouldn’t we be able to do these things?

 Before there was no such thing, of course you had to do whatever you had to do, but now that you have it, it will be different!

Take the advance of the army as an example. Each tank is equipped with a positioning terminal and is connected through a data link. Whether it is the rear headquarters or the tank troops, they can know where the friendly forces are and the location of each tank. Precise coordinates are very important for modern warfare. Without this system, it will return to the original state. Higher-level commanders can only contact their immediate subordinates. The tree-like command system is very easy to be compromised in modern warfare. to destruction.

 What others have, we must also have, so as to avoid being controlled by others!

 If you fall behind, you will be beaten!

Now, outside the Gulf of Oman, on the naval fleet outside Masirah Island, everyone can understand this more deeply.

 “Report, GPS signal disappeared!”

"What? Why did the signal disappear?" Salman's face suddenly changed: "Did the Americans do it?"

"I don't know, the signal is gone. The two US-made warships in our formation have now lost their satellite navigation systems, but as long as they stay with our formation, there will be no risk."

Not every warship will be modified. The warships here are mainly American-made warships, and some have not been modified with Beidou navigation. If they are not in a formation together and sail alone, they will definitely be blinded.

"Of course, the US military cut off the civilian GPS signal." Delano said from the side: "The Americans like to play like this, thinking that this can restrict us, huh, they are destined to be disappointed, our great East has already done it Beidou-2 navigation system, our navigation system is more advanced than GPS, and we promise not to cut off the signal, our customers will always be able to use it normally!"

Of course we promise not to cut off the signal, but our satellite system will always have sudden failures.

“That’s right, with Dongfang’s Beidou-2, we don’t have to worry about being choked by them in this field!” Salman nodded excitedly, and then looked at Delano: “Didn’t you attack?”

The land air force dispatched hundreds of fighter planes, and the aircraft carrier also took off more than a dozen aircraft to form a large fleet for a joint air strike. People like Delano always like to be in the limelight, why didn't they attack this time?

Delano smiled: "Based on my understanding of those guys, they will definitely not be willing to watch helplessly. They will use various means to test us. When they need me, I will take off again."

Delano was not interested in this kind of muscle-flexing action. Even if it was already dark when the attack fleet came back, there would be no challenge. What he had to do was of course the most challenging thing. He had to fight. , the American who always causes trouble.

Delanor, an Easterner, is willing to fight for his ideals and beliefs.

 In the Bay of Rest, the USS Lincoln aircraft carrier.

“We can’t just watch them flex their muscles, we have to do something!”

 “That’s right, let them know how powerful we are!”

“No, we’ve done a lot of things wrong and it’s embarrassing enough,” Swift said. “If we do something more, the relationship between us will probably be even more tense.”

Swift rejected the suggestions, but that didn't mean others weren't interested.

“The Air Force has taken off the F-117.”

"What? What does the Air Force want to do? Scare people with a few broken planes?" Swift frowned.

"The Air Force probably wants to fly the F117 over the aircraft carrier formation, circle it a few times, show off its power, and then fly back. Damn it, our Navy's stealth aircraft is still under development. Otherwise, our Navy can also show off its stealth machine."

 In this regard, Americans, who have always been proud, have fallen behind. They are very annoyed and helpless.

The first stealth aircraft put into actual combat was the F117. Although this fighter carries the F prefix, it is an out-and-out attack aircraft. It relies on its powerful stealth performance to soar in the sky like a ghost. Moreover, its biggest feature is that it can be deployed on the front line, which is something that can't be helped. After all, its range is not very far. Without front-line deployment, long-distance raids are a kind of torture.

The second model is the B2. This stealth aircraft is awesome. It is huge and can reach all over the world. As long as it takes off from the local base, it can fly to any place in the world. However, this also means that it cannot respond to emergencies at any time. It will take at least more than twenty hours for the United States to fly here, and the exercise will probably be over by then.

 The third model is the F22, which is a heavy-duty air superiority fighter of the Air Force. It is currently only deployed locally. After all, the production is very small.

 At present, there are only these three models, all of them are for the Air Force, and none of them are for the Navy!

Therefore, although the navy has a large aircraft carrier formation, its combat effectiveness, especially the ability to attack in the first wave, is very poor. They are also looking forward to the arrival of their own stealth aircraft, but they don’t know how it will be in the year of the monkey.

“These stupid guys actually want to use the F117. Huh, if they use it, they will only make a joke worse than us.”

 “What’s the joke?”

“As long as this F117 takes off, it will never come back.”

"Why?"

“Because it requires aerial refueling.”

At this time, F117 pilot Donaldson, who was flying a fighter plane over the Persian Gulf, was looking at the night sky outside boredly.

Donaldson is an experienced pilot who has been flying the F117 for more than eight years, but he still remembers the feeling when he saw the F117 for the first time.

At that time, he walked into a dark hangar, and then the lights suddenly flashed, and a spaceship unique to the science fiction world appeared, with an American flag hanging on it.

 This is not real, it must be a model. There is no way such an angular guy can fly! This was Donaldson's first impression at that time. After that, he walked around the aircraft and entered the cockpit. Compared with the F16 he had flown before, this aircraft was not big, but the cockpit was very spacious.

He was very excited at the time and asked what electronic countermeasures equipment the aircraft had. The answer he received was no!

After that, he closed the canopy cover. It felt like closing a coffin cover. The view from this cover was very poor. You couldn't even think of seeing anything from behind. The side view was pretty good. The front view wasn't that big in the first place. It was almost occupied by the HUD, and it was almost incomparable to the F16 he flew before. However, he was still very excited to accept this task because he knew how advanced this aircraft was. In order to fly this aircraft, he even had to live a life of black and white. It was not until the F117 was declassified a few years ago that he was able to live a happy life. After living a normal life, he still likes the night. Only the night is their stage, because they are nighthawks.

At this time, the F117 fighter jet continued to fly forward, and a radio call came from his earphone.

“Nanny calls Nighthawk, are you sure you don’t need aerial refueling before leaving the Persian Gulf?”

“I’m sure it’s not necessary. If you show up there in advance, the target will be exposed. I will wait until we return to the destination for aerial refueling.”

The appearance of the F117 puts stealthiness first, so much so that when it was first built, many people thought it could not fly. Although there were no problems during the test flight, due to aerodynamic layout problems, it suffered a lot of resistance It is very large. Not only can it not fly at supersonic speeds, but during normal flight, the flight radius is only 1,056 kilometers.

This is quite good. It is completely based on the advanced American aerospace engines. The two fuel-efficient F404 engines ensure its range. However, during the mission, it is still inevitable to carry out multiple aerial refuelings. .

 Especially now.

Since other countries refused to provide bases, their aircraft were deployed directly in Kuwait. From Kuwait to the mouth of the strait, that is, the entire Persian Gulf, the length is 970 kilometers. It then bypasses the mouth of the strait, enters the Gulf of Aman, and arrives at The exercise naval formation is over another 300 kilometers, so it must go through an aerial refueling before it can go back and forth.

If pilots from other countries see that more than half of the fuel is consumed, they will impatiently look for an aerial tanker for fear of running out of fuel and falling. However, American pilots have long been accustomed to it. During the Vietnam War, fighter jets often used up their fuel until the end. Only when it dropped did it fly to the air tanker to dock.

The less fuel, the more flexible the aircraft is. After flying there, the maneuverability is guaranteed. Although this kind of aircraft is not good at maneuverability at all, it will not be too late to refuel in the air after completing the mission and returning to the Persian Gulf.

Donaldson had absolutely no idea that if he gave up on this aerial refueling, he would never get another chance.

The first person who discovered the problem was the early warning aircraft circling over Aman. At this time, waves of fighters were attacking the target. Although all the personnel there had been cleared, it was still a fool's errand. What if one of the fighters found the wrong target? Where is the goal?

Therefore, the early warning aircraft undertakes important tasks. The C130's body is only in the category of medium-sized early warning aircraft, but now it is undertaking the functions of a strategic early warning aircraft, and it is still able to do it with ease.

Inside the cabin, the operators of the early warning aircraft were contacting and commanding in an orderly manner, tapping the keyboard with their fingers, and sending out commands quickly. Xiang Jing stood behind the operators, watching their actions with a look of satisfaction on her face. Look, after this period of training, these people can finally master the operation of the early warning aircraft skillfully. When this exercise is over, it is time for them to go back.

 Where is Xiang De? He should go back together, right? But after we go back, even though we are on a warship and we are still pilots, we cannot sleep together. We can only wait until the next vacation. Then, we will go to Shuangsha Island for vacation together and have a baby. Don't worry, wait until a few years later.

At this moment, a yellow message suddenly appeared on the early warning aircraft.

It is impossible to process hundreds of messages by just relying on the operator of the early warning aircraft. The aircraft has advanced software that can evaluate each target. At this time, yellow information represents an abnormality in the target.

“There are three targets hovering over the exit of Rest Bay.”

"Well, these three targets are very suspicious." Xiang Jing said: "One of the targets has a large echo and should be a large aircraft. The other two targets have a small echo and may be escorting fighter jets. However, the targets do not radiate electromagnetic waves. It means it's not an early warning aircraft, so it should be..."

"Aerial tanker!" An operator replied: "It should be an aerial tanker. An aerial refueling corridor was established above here. During the first Siberian Gulf War, the U.S. Navy's carrier-based aircraft received air tankers here. Come on, their aircraft carriers didn’t dare to move into Anxi Bay at that time.”

 Aerial tanker!

 In the past, it was because of demand, but now? Now that there's an air tanker hovering here, there must be something else going on!

Thinking of this, Xiang Jing frowned: "Send this warning message to the maritime formation immediately!"

In fact, half of the opponent's flight trajectory is within the monitoring range of No. 168 at sea. However, it can only monitor half. Therefore, what appears on its radar screen is that the target comes, flies away, disappears, and then disappears again. Come here, fly away, too far away to trigger the target identification software to raise the alert level.

Now, everyone was stunned when they received the news from the early warning aircraft.

“Okay, the wait is finally here!” Only Delano was the most excited: “This aerial tanker refuels the stealth F117, which is currently flying towards us!”

“Instructor Dingo, how did you know?” Everyone was surprised. Delano not only explained the mission of the aerial tanker, but also clearly stated that it was an F117. This is really weird.

"Of course it is an analysis and judgment." Delano said: "Currently, the only stealth aircraft deployed there is the F117, and our air defense system still knows nothing about it, so it must be the stealth F117. If our If the controlled array radar aims its radar beam at the nearby airspace, it should be able to capture clues."

"Report, Report No. 168, the radar detected a suspicious echo, but it is not clear! The suspicious echo is approaching our formation!"

"They actually dared to use stealth aircraft and fly over our fleet. This is a provocation to us!" Salman said: "We are now..."

 He did not say any more and looked at Delano: "Instructor Dingo, what can you do?"

He felt that Delano had a better way, so he had to listen to Delano's suggestions first.

“Well, we need to fight back now to let them know how powerful we are. However, we don’t need to attack this stealth aircraft. After all, it comes and goes without a trace, and we can’t really shoot it down.”

　　Not attack the stealth machine? The people present were stunned: "Then what should we do?"

"Of course we will attack the aerial tanker!" Delano said: "The F117's combat radius is only one thousand kilometers, and it has consumed more than half of its fuel. It will wander around above us and return to the airspace of the aerial tanker. At most, it will have enough fuel left. The next quarter of the fuel, as long as we drive the aerial tanker away at that time so that it cannot refuel in the air, then it will run out of fuel and will either fall into the sea or choose to make an emergency landing. Where do you think it will make an emergency landing? ?”

 If you fall into the sea, the risk of death is very high. Although there are Navy warships at sea and can be dispatched for search and rescue at any time, the F117 belongs to the Air Force. The gap between the U.S. military services is deep, and the Air Force may not be able to immediately seek help from the Navy.

Out of the desire to survive, the pilot can only fly to land and make an emergency landing. At this time, he has only two choices: the Parthian Kingdom in the east, or the big dog family in the west. Needless to say, which one to choose? The Parthian country is full of mountains, and if caught, it is easy to be beaten to death.

In this way, the other party can only choose to make an emergency landing on the big dog's land, or parachute. No matter what, this is an act of aggression against the big dog's Chi Guoguo. Next, there can be a lot of diplomatic wars of words.

Now, the Americans have to be made passive again.

Everyone’s eyes are full of energy, Delano is so awesome!

Delano had a rare humility on his face. In fact, these were all analyzed by Mr. Qin during the video call with Mr. Qin after he decided to hold the exercise. As expected, they all came true. Mr. Qin is powerful enough.

Now, since it has been decided, what else is there to say? Let’s do it!

“This time, I’m going to attack myself.” Delano picked up his flying helmet.

At this time, the attacking fleet began to return and prepared to land. They had no chance to launch a second mission. This task could only be left to Delano to complete!

Delano happily rushed to the deck, stepped into the cockpit, closed the canopy, and looked at the dark night sky with bright eyes. Hum, **** Americans, let’s trick you again!
