Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

Vice Admiral George is not the only one who looks down on the warships of Longguo.

At this time, the communication channels of hundreds of F4Us were also very lively.

These battle-hardened naval pilots burst into disdainful laughter when they saw the old Dragon Country warships they were about to face.

"Oh my goodness, am I seeing this right? Isn't this ship operated by the Dragon Nation people the Flower-class frigate that the John Nation has long since retired?"

"I remember that these old models were either converted into merchant ships or sent to naval museums!"

"They're actually using it as a capital ship... Just how backward is this enemy we're facing?"

"Yes! Apart from this frigate, the rest of the warships are also some models that have been retired by the Little Sakura Country."

"The Dragon Country's fleet is more like a maritime warship museum than a fleet..."

"Forcing us to fight against an opponent of this level is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito!"

"I don't think we even need to do anything. If they keep driving for a while, they'll probably be destroyed by the waves..."

At this moment, various mocking voices were heard in the communication channel.

Colonel Stark, the temporary commander of this aviation brigade, was also very disdainful of Dragon Country's ragtag army.

However, as a military commander, he still coughed lightly twice and spoke solemnly.

"Damn it, you bunch of bastards, shut up!"

"Have you forgotten that as a soldier, the most taboo thing is to underestimate the enemy?"

"Everyone, adjust your attitude! Stop laughing!"

"If anyone keeps talking nonsense on this channel, they'll be put in solitary confinement when they get back!"

After hearing Stark's voice, the mocking voices in the communication channel suddenly subsided a lot.

However, there were still many pilots with higher ranks who smiled and asked back.

"Alright, my dear Commander Stark."

"Before, when we faced the fleets of Hans Country and Sakura, you might have no problem saying that."

"But, you've also seen what level our current opponent is..."

"I'm afraid that even if we hover in the air and don't move, they may not be able to shoot down even one of our planes!"

"Facing an enemy of this caliber, it wouldn't be a big deal if everyone relaxed a bit..."

Hearing the voice on the communication channel, Stark hesitated for a moment and then sighed secretly.

After nodding, he said helplessly.

"Okay, I admit, what you said makes some sense... Anyway, you should pay more attention."

"The Dragon Navy is not without merit. You must be careful of that large destroyer..."

The reason why Stark is so indulgent to his subordinates is not because he does not control them strictly.

It’s really because the opponent we faced this time was so bad.

No matter how strictly I order them to be alert and careful, they will not obey.

It would be better to just let them do as they please.

As for whether his formation would suffer losses due to his own indulgence...

Stark didn't consider this at all.

After all, as someone said in the communication channel before.

With the current anti-aircraft firepower of Longguo, even if these planes of his were to hang there motionless, they might not be able to hit him.

Not to mention, all of the naval pilots under his command are ace pilots who have survived hundreds of battles after the baptism of World War II.

If only we were shot down by this outdated anti-aircraft firepower due to our own negligence.

What greeted him was certainly not the shared hatred and righteous indignation of his comrades.

But the ridicule and sarcasm of colleagues.

After all, to die at the hands of such an outdated warship like the Dragon Kingdom is too weak...

……

at the same time.

On the flagship of the Dragon Kingdom Navy.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the radar has detected and locked onto all of Eagle Sauce's carrier-based aircraft taking off. Shall we begin destroying them?"

At this time, a sailor looked at the radar in front of him, saluted Jiang Chaoyang, and asked seriously.

After hearing the sailor's report.

At this moment, Jiang Chaoyang raised his eyebrows and a look of horror appeared on his face.

He didn't give a direct order, but muttered to himself.

"They locked onto it so quickly? This 'phased array radar' Fang Yu is researching is simply amazing..."

No wonder Jiang Chaoyang was so shocked.

The flagship under Jiang Chaoyang's command is the first arsenal ship of the Dragon Kingdom, which has just been produced from the Dalian Shipyard.

In addition to having powerful anti-sea firepower.

Fang Yu made a series of modifications to it during the construction period.

In addition to being able to directly attack opposing ships, this arsenal ship is also equipped with the first phased array radar ever seen on Blue Planet!

It is completely different from ordinary radar.

General radar beam scanning is achieved by rotating the radar antenna, which is called mechanical scanning.

Phased array radar uses electrical means to control the direction of the radar beam to scan and detect targets. This method is called electronic scanning.

On the circular antenna array of the phased array radar with a diameter of tens of meters, there are tens of thousands of radiators that can emit electromagnetic waves. Each radiator is equipped with a "phase shifter", and each "phase shifter" is controlled by an electronic computer.

When the radar is working, the electronic computer controls these "phase shifters" to change the "phase" of the electromagnetic waves emitted into the air by each radiator, so that the electromagnetic lobe can deflect phase by phase like a rotating antenna, thereby completing the air search mission.

Based on the working principle of phased array radar.

Phased array radar uses one fixed antenna array to detect targets within a 120° sector. Using three antenna arrays, it can achieve 360° uninterrupted target detection and tracking.

When the phased array radar is on alert or searching for distant targets, although the antenna cannot be seen rotating, tens of thousands of radiators are controlled by electronic computers to emit and deflect in one direction.

Even intercontinental missiles attacking from tens of thousands of kilometers away and satellites tens of thousands of kilometers away cannot escape its "eyes".

If dealing with closer targets, these radiators can be divided into different responsibilities, with some searching, some tracking, and some guiding, working simultaneously.

Each "phase shifter" can deflect the electromagnetic lobe in different directions according to the task it is responsible for, which is equivalent to countless antennas rotating at a speed that is unmatched by ordinary antennas.

It is precisely because this radar antenna abandons the working principle of general radar antennas and uses "phase shifters" to realize the rotation of electromagnetic petals that people give it a unique name - phased array radar, which means "antenna array with controllable phase".

And because of this, phased array radar has stronger vitality and flexibility than other radars, far superior to general radars that use mechanical scanning!
