Oslovich fiddled with the equipment listlessly and absent-mindedly, yawning from time to time.
His sleep has been extremely unstable and irregular these days, all because of the war.
"Comrade Oslovich, you said the Chinese have been tinkering with this thing for half a night and a day. Will it work?"
"Ha!" Oslovitch snorted contemptuously.
"The Russians haven't figured out anything yet, so how can the Chinese figure it out? Gudsich! What do you think?"
"Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, if you think it's not possible, I agree with you."
He was not optimistic about the Chinese people's technology. They were apprentices of the Soviets, and there was no hope for the apprentices to master something that their masters couldn't do.
"Ah~" Oslovich yawned loudly.
"Comrade Gudsich, although the Chinese equipment is not guaranteed to be up to standard, we still need to keep our spirits up."
"Yes, Comrade Oslovitch."
The SA-8 system is an air defense system developed by the Soviet Union in the 1960s. After upgrades and modifications, it was completely vehicle-mounted, greatly improving its maneuverability.
Its early warning system uses two radars, P-40 plus P-15, and an E-band height-finding radar.
The detection range of the P-40 is about 175 kilometers, and after upgrading, the detection range can be expanded to 250 kilometers.
In the previous life, Nightingale was discovered and had nothing to do with SA-8. It was discovered by SA-3.
SA-3 is the name given by Western countries to the Russian S125 air defense system. It is a relatively old radar, but it was this air defense system that used P18 as an early warning radar that discovered and shot down a Nightingale.
Now, Gu Hongzhong is modifying the SA8, hoping to use more advanced radar to detect the Nightingale.
At around 8:40, Gudsic sat in a chair with his eyes closed and yawned from time to time.
How he wished the war would end soon. He couldn't stand not being able to eat or sleep well all day long.
Oh! I don't know when it will end.
Gudsic stretched out his hands, clasped them together, stretched vigorously, and then opened his eyes.
He opened his eyes about every twenty seconds to glance at the early warning radar display screen, and then closed his eyes again.
Although this is not allowed, no one cares about him at this time, so he is happy to be lazy.
Every time he opened his eyes and glanced at the radar screen, he closed his eyes again, and his eyes never scanned the radar screen for more than five seconds.
But this time he opened his eyes but did not close them again within five seconds.
Not only did he not close his eyes, but he opened them wider and wider.
Goodsic saw four not-so-clear signals on the screen, slowly flying towards him from a distance.
It can be confirmed that there are four aircraft, and the detection distance shows that the target is about 60 kilometers away.
The maximum detection range of the P-40 long-range radar can reach 175 kilometers, and after upgrading, the detection range can be expanded to 250 kilometers.
However, when facing the Nightingale, its detection distance is still compressed to only 60 kilometers. This is the meter-wave radar that has been fully modified by Gu Hongzhong. It can be seen that the stealth design can indeed greatly compress the radar's detection distance.
Gudsic immediately reported the situation to Oslovich: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel! Four targets have been found."
Oslovich rushed to the radar screen immediately, staring at it in shock, without blinking for a long time.
A few seconds later, La Siqian or La Wuqian muttered to himself subconsciously: "These Chinese are amazing. They actually found the enemy plane, and the signal is so stable."
After a pause, he asked Gudsich, "Can you tell what kind of plane it is?"
Gudsich shook his head: "I can't tell, or maybe he doesn't recognize this type of aircraft and has never seen it before."
Oslovich was stunned. Could it be the latest stealth aircraft of the United States?
Only sporadic information about this aircraft was revealed in 1998, and even less was known to former Soviet countries like Serbia.
They don't even know the code name of this aircraft.
Oslovich's spirits were lifted: "Comrades, it's time to make a contribution. Listen to my orders, turn on the guidance radar after the enemy planes enter 30 kilometers!"
The effective interception area of SA8's guidance radar is 30 kilometers. Only when the aircraft enters this area can it effectively intercept attack data.
Because Serbia no longer had an air force, the NATO air force became complacent and careless.
The four Nightingales dispatched tonight didn't even have an escort aircraft, just four naked planes that came out in a swagger.
The Nightingale pilots didn't realize they were exposed on other people's screens and were already slowly flying towards the target.
After entering the effective range of the SA-8 air defense missile, Oslovich ordered the guidance radar to turn on, and the operator nervously operated the antenna to aim at the target.
However, due to unfamiliarity with the modified system, more than ten seconds passed and the tactical controller failed to intercept the target.
The power-on time was too long and the target might be exposed at any time, so Oslovich had no choice but to give the order to shut down.
"What's going on? Can't you even lock onto such an obvious target?" Oslovich roared like thunder.
"Lieutenant Colonel! After all, this thing was modified by foreigners only recently, and we are not very familiar with its operation."
Oslovich sighed. He didn't expect that the radar modified for the Chinese would be so powerful.
"Shoot again later, and make sure to lock onto the target this time."
"yes"
After a few dozen seconds, Oslovich again gave the order to turn on the guidance radar.
This time, although it was still not very smooth, the radar finally locked onto one of the Nightingales.
The Nightingale alarm, which was locked by the missile radar, began to sound the alarm, and the pilot of the plane was in great fear.
Why did you call the police?
The pilot of the plane was a veteran of the Gulf War. He had thought that tonight's mission would be the same as the other missions he had carried out in the past two days. He would fly to the destination, drop the bomb, and then go home to sleep. However, he did not expect the alarm to sound a sharp alarm.
The pilot immediately realized that he had been locked by a ground-based missile and immediately maneuvered desperately to escape the attack.
But unfortunately, as a first-generation stealth fighter, the Nightingale's maneuverability is terrible, and even if the pilot tries his best, he cannot escape radar tracking.
At the radar station, the tactical controller wiped the sweat from his forehead and began to report: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, I've locked onto the target and are tracking it steadily. The target is closing in, and the distance is thirty kilometers."
Oslovich punched the car wall. "Fire!"
Following Oslovich's order, the first SA-8 missile roared out, and its tail flame illuminated the night sky like day.
Five seconds later, the second SA-8 missile also took off, following the first missile and piercing the Nightingale in the night sky like a sharp sword.
