Chapter 310 Hunting Time
"Uranus, this is the port. The Ocas system is online and the data link has been sent to all tactical groups."
"All ships of the Third Task Force of the Maritime Defense Department, this is the Joint Operations Command Center. The Ocas operation order has been issued—satellite reconnaissance has detected the Burnia Fleet—3 ships."
"The data has been distributed to the data platforms of each combat unit."
From the perspective of the Uranus, the view from within the CIC extends from the sea to the air. The main fleet of Burnia, consisting of two Victory-class aircraft carriers, three Illustrious-class aircraft carriers, one Vanguard-class battleship, and twelve County-class destroyers, is slowly sailing behind 42 Sea Vixens and 26 Lightning S2 carrier-based fighters attacking the island.
Such an air force was enough to seize air superiority over a medium-sized country. For an organization like the Cosmos, which consisted of only a few cities, the Royal Navy even felt that it had too much firepower. They rejected the Royal Air Force and insisted on being the first wave of air strikes in the battle.
"Gentlemen, no country can rival the Imperial Navy. Even Amelia does not have such a large force to deploy. I think it is time to challenge Amelia for control of the Western Ocean after this war."
The two fighter jets from the Universal Star Group escaped with afterburners, which pleased the Navy even more. After all, they had suffered losses for so long, and today they finally got their revenge.
Naval Commander Van Lassie looked at the massive fleet, the powerful warships, and the advanced technology. The Royal Navy's radar was modeled after Amerlane and was one of the world's leading radars, with a high search radius and response rate.
However, in front of them, on the vast ocean, a small white ship was belching out puffs of smoke. The MK41 vertical launch system on the "Uranus" was only loaded with 48 "Standard II" anti-aircraft missiles, while its AN/SPY-1 phased array radar was locking onto and tracking all the ships of the Buryat naval aviation force.
"This is the King Line. All 68 targets have been locked, but we are short on ammunition."
"Received, Uranus, maximum firepower launch, the 3rd Air Defense Squadron will arrive after assembly, estimated ETA 10 min."
All of the heavy equipment in the universe are also equipped with the "Ocas" data system. Relying on the Ocas core computing, each fighter jet/armored vehicle/ship can share a data link to form an information-based combat system.
Subsequently, Uranus captured the Burnia fleet.
"This is Uranus. Enemy ships have been locked. Data link synchronization complete. Requesting A-to-B missile tactical maneuver."
The two 1155.1 Dreadnought II destroyers that form part of the fleet with Uranus are equipped with the White Ridge-MA1 anti-ship missile, which is a missile based on the White Ridge-M with the addition of a synchronous data system. After launch, it can be guided by friendly fighter jets/ships, and the AN/SPY-1 radar is also within the compatibility range.
"This is the Progress, the missiles are ready to launch."
"This is the October issue. Self-inspection complete. Comrades are all very happy to be able to hunt down the enemy."
Sailors on both 1155.1 ships deactivated safety devices, and data links were transmitted between the ships. The 1155.1 "Dreadnought II" destroyer has eight such missiles, which are installed in launch boxes on both sides of the ship.
"Target locked, fire channels allocated. The Tomahawk's combat effectiveness is not as high as yours, so we will be responsible for providing you with guidance and will supplement firepower based on the assessment."
"Received, Uranus. It's great to be working alongside high technology."
The eight "White Ridge-MA1" missiles were quickly allocated to two "Victory"-class carriers, three "Illustrious"-class carriers, and one "Vanguard"-class carrier. Each "Victory"-class carrier was given an extra missile, as they were important fleet carriers.
Meanwhile, in the skies, the massacre of the Royal Navy Air Force of Burnia had just begun.
boom!
Amidst the formation of aircraft, a burst of fireworks exploded. Radar-guided missiles were a devastating blow to early jet fighters. In the clouds, the Burnia formation, constantly tracked by radar, could not escape the attack of the Standard II missiles.
"Oh my God! We're under attack! Enemy missiles! Damn it, their fighter jets... no, it's anti-aircraft fire!"
"Disperse! Disperse! Damn it! They have too many missiles! We're being slaughtered! What's going on! Do they have more than thirty anti-aircraft destroyers!?"
One after another, the "Sea Fox" and "Lightning" S2 were shot down. Under the guidance of phased array radar, the hit rate of anti-aircraft missiles against subsonic aircraft was not low.
"I've been shot down, MAYDAY, MAYDAY!"
With an 80% hit rate, 39 out of 48 missiles hit their targets. White and gray smoke mingled together, and screams echoed over the radio. At that moment, ground-based air defense missiles could not have such air defense efficiency. In an instant, most of the aircraft were destroyed, leaving only 13 fighters unharmed.
"what happened?"
However, the nightmare for the Royal Navy of Burnia was not over yet. Eight supersonic White Ridge MA1 anti-ship missiles flew over the sea, and the sailors shouted, but before the fleet could do anything, the eight missiles crashed directly into the largest warships in the fleet in the eyes of the Royal Navy of Burnia.
In an instant, the Victory-class aircraft carriers HMS Burnia and HMS Empire, which were hit by two anti-ship missiles, burst into flames. The anti-ship missiles tore two holes in the waterline. The Burnia's ammunition magazine was hit, and the resulting secondary explosion ripped the entire forward deck off the ship and crashed it onto the sea. The keel made a teeth-grinding cracking sound, and the entire ship was listing. Several carrier-based fighter jets on the deck immediately fell to the sea.
The main engines of the "Empire" failed to shut down. Although it was fortunate that the core area was not hit, the fire and explosion immediately rendered the warship incapable of combat.
One of the two escort carriers was taking on water and overturning, while the other was engulfed in flames. However, as older ships, their damage control teams immediately began to salvage their vessels.
The battleship in the best condition was the Vanguard. Its thick main armor belt prevented the missiles from causing fatal damage. The damage control team on this old ship, which had been in service for several years, began to take action and quickly extinguished the fire and began to seal the watertight compartments.
"The main fleet was attacked and suffered heavy losses!"
When the news reached the Ministry of Defense of Burnia, the Navy, which had initially not wanted the Air Force to steal the spotlight, could no longer afford to worry about that. The Royal Burnia Air Force, stationed on several islands, immediately took off fighter jets. The Royal Air Force's Javelin FAW.1 interceptors, Lightning fighters, and Scimitar fighter-bombers all had considerable air combat capabilities. The four air tactical wings that had been deployed in advance on several islands quickly took off with 188 fighter jets.
但在海域的另外一头，第三空中防卫中队的64架SU-35战斗机已经待命，两架E-2D舰载预警机和一架E-7A预警机在空域之中部署，一架KC-130空中加油机补给了那些SU-35战斗机的空中燃油。
"All friendly aircraft, this is Lookout One. 188 enemy aircraft targets have been detected. Operational order: 'Eagle Wall, repeat. Operational order: Eagle Wall.'"
