Chapter 31: Top Gun
"Shut up. George Cruise, the captain of the Vulture One, shouted on the channel.
Cruise knew well about Vulture Three's provocative behavior of borrowing navigation lights, and even after feeling Vulture Three's provocative behavior, Cruise took advantage of his six-point position to observe the entire formation, and used the battlefield recording system carried by the F14 fighter for the first time to record the Morse code issued by Vulture Three using navigation lights in real time.
If Ning Lei is quiet or there is no provocative behavior of Vulture Three, then the interpretation of this real-time video will completely fall into the control of the US Navy in the future.
Whether it is a coward or a business supreme person, any hat that Ning Lei is buttoned over will greatly reduce the dazzling Cheng dΓΉ of Ning Lei's high-level ace aura.
Unfortunately, Cruise had just used the battlefield recorder to completely record the Morse code issued by Vulture III, and Ning Lei's more provocative words were thrown out, which meant that Ning Lei would never notice the Vulture Three's abnormal movement later than George Cruise.
As soon as the so-called connoisseur stretches out his hand, he will know if there is any, for the profession of pilot, sensitivity and quick judgment of small changes in the surrounding environment are essential for excellent pilots, and Ning Lei is fully qualified in this regard.
Cruise put away the kind of your landline from what we provide, Lao Tzu is your master's psychological advantage, and quickly marks the opponent with a difficult label.
"Gungnir, you were training at Long Island Naval Base for almost a year, I wonder if you've heard of the Rocky Mountain Train?" Cruise asked calmly.
The Rocky Mountains are the backbone of the Cordillera Mountains in North America, the 6 backbones of North America, because the famous Angel City Los Angeles is located near the mountain system, the entire Cordillera Mountains in California, including the Sierra Nevada, the Coast Mountains and other mountain systems are collectively called the Rocky Mountains.
The Le Mor Naval Base in California, where the NATO Tiger will be held, is located between the Sierra Nevada and the Coast Mountains.
As the largest training base for U.S. Navy carrier-based pilots, it is a long-standing tradition for U.S. Navy carrier-based pilots to take off from Lemore Naval Base and hone their flying skills in the lofty mountains of the Rocky Mountains.
The Rocky Mountain Train is a form of training for U.S. carrier-based pilots, tactically referring to one aircraft playing the role of an intruder in the process of disengagement, followed by two or four warplanes acting as the defenders of the pursuit.
Pursuers do everything in their power to shoot down the intruder in the mountains of Nevada, once they reach the airspace of Le Mor Naval Base. The pursuer will be sentenced to lose.
This kind of training, which is similar to the pursuit of police and bandits, can often be seen in a line of several fighters roaring through the mountains, and over time, this kind of training has been called by the good deeds with the Rocky Mountain train.
"Who invades, who intercepts?" Ning Lei asked succinctly.
"In terms of numbers, we have the advantage, and in terms of airspace, Gungnir is also more in line with the identity of the invaders. Cruise said with a pun.
"Ready, Hai Dongqing applied to leave the team. Ning Lei unhurriedly applied for secession in accordance with the formation process.
Hai Dongqing temporarily left the team. The vulture squad lowered to Mach O.4 and the train started after a distance of 5 km. Cruise said.
In an instant, the golden-red F14 fighter broke away from the right side of the formation, accompanied by two bright blue lights, and gradually distanced itself from the vulture formation.
Because the infrared-guided missile has a high probability of not escaping when carrying out a tail chase attack, and the Rocky Mountain train is designed to train pilots in interception and anti-interception detachment capabilities. Therefore, during the training, the F14 fighter did not carry an infrared-guided Sidewinder missile, and the opponent's fighter must be locked on by radar for 8 seconds before it will be judged victorious.
After all, for real air combat, it is not easy to run behind the opponent's fighters, and under normal circumstances, air-to-air missiles with active or semi-active radar are still used as the choice for air combat.
"Dong Yu, don't we mention it?" asked Qiao Pengfei, the radar officer in the back seat, with some confusion.
After Ning Lei broke away from the vulture formation, Qiao Pengfei thought that Ning Lei would turn on the afterburner, after all, the two were piloting an F14a fighter. The powertrain built with two TF3o engines is completely incomparable with the F11a+, which has been retrofitted with F11o aviation engines.
In the harsh visual conditions at night, Cruise generously let the two out for 5 kilometers before starting the pursuit, which is fundamentally a clear idea of the F14a's scum-like motives.
"The vulture squad is all F11a+ with F14o engines, and the maneuverability of the fighters has been improved by at least 3o%, and in the sky, no matter how we toss, we can't get rid of it. Ning Lei said with some emotion.
Ning Lei's emotion was so emotional that Qiao Pengfei was confused, can he still go to the sea if he doesn't go to the sky?
Knocking on the front windshield that was used as a HUD display in front of him, Ning Lei tapped his finger with a dark green light and said, "Although we can't go to the sea, it's still very easy to go to the sea if we're not careful." β
"Holes. We take the sea level altitude of 2o meters as the flight reference plane, and do maneuvers in the space of plus or minus five meters in this base, if the F14a+ can keep up with our maneuvering rhythm, it can lock us, if it can't keep up with the rhythm, either go to the sea or eat ashes. Ning Lei said with a laugh.
Even if it flies at Mach O.4, the distance crossed by a fighter is more than 13o meters per second, and it maneuveres at an altitude of 2o meters above the ground. The pilot's nerve reflex time is only about 1.15 seconds, which is not far from the physiological limit of human beings of 1.1 seconds.
In normal people, the basic nerve reflex is around o.2 to o.4 seconds, but in the sports or martial arts world, it can reach o.15 seconds or even lower than o.15 seconds. For example, the reflex time of the flying man Liu Xiang is o.139 seconds, the reflex time of the fighting king Bruce Lee is o.12 seconds, and the young boxing champion Tyson is o.125 seconds, but pilots are completely different from these professions.
Whether it is free fighting or heavyweight boxing, concentration is only a momentary thing, after one or more attacks and defenses are completed, there will be a small period of relaxation as adjustment, and pilots who are flying at low altitudes do not have this opportunity to relax at all, in the flight at an altitude of 2o meters above the ground, relaxation means death.
"**, I actually met a complete madman, is this guy addicted to drugs?Tm thinks he is Tom Hanks?" Dennis yelled at the Vulture Formation's channel.
With 11o kilometers to go from Futenma Airport in the Ryukyus, the two men who were going to chase reached the designated position, and with the roar of Cruise on the public channel go!go!go!, the tail vents of the three fighters suddenly lit up, and in an instant, the degree was raised to Mach O.8.
Ning Lei continued to fly unhurriedly at an altitude of 6ooo meters, except for the occasional roll to confirm the distance between the vulture team and himself.
It wasn't until the navigation lights of the vulture formation were clearly visible in the field of vision, and when they approached within 3 kilometers, Ning Lei turned on the afterburner of the landline. A head pierced into the sea.
As for Ning Lei's choice, the Vulture Squad was not surprised, all three of them have accumulated thousands of hours of flying experience on the F14a fighter and know the performance of the F14a well.
In the eyes of the three, choosing a low altitude was the only chance for Ning Lei to get rid of the pursuit of the three, after all, in the case of backward landline performance. Only by taking advantage of the geographical advantage can you put your own chips on the balance of victory.
The problem is that the sea is not the ground, and the geographical advantage that a flat and smooth sea can bring to Ning Lei is almost none, even if Cruise is so cautious, he still makes a simple breakdown of the task.
Based on the formation number, No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 took turns to chase Ning Lei who was flying at low altitude, forcing him to get out of the low-altitude flight state as soon as possible.
Pity. Ning Lei's incomparably strange maneuver completely shattered the wishful thinking of the vulture squad.
For a fighter such a high aircraft, low-altitude flight at an altitude of 2o meters can only be carried out manually, and all terrain tracking radars do not have automatic avoidance functions at this altitude, and this kind of low-altitude flight is difficult to sustain due to the limited time of the pilot's attention span.
Generally speaking, with a limit of 2o seconds, such tactical maneuvers are basically used to evade semi-active or actively guided air-to-air missiles.
Once this kind of low-altitude flight has passed 2o seconds, due to the excessive pressure of the pilot, the pilot may be destroyed and killed at any time. Of course, on the surface of the flat river, you can hold on for a longer time.
Reality gave the vulture squad a slap in the face.
Since descending to the sea level height of 2o meters, Ning Lei has not gone up, not only has he not gone up, but every few seconds, Ning Lei will drive the plane to rise or fall in small increments, and occasionally carry out irregular rolling or half-drum maneuvers.
Even if the sea is flat. At a rate of more than 27o meters per second, the manual adjustment of the altitude of the course at a distance of only 2o meters from the sea surface is destined to be more exciting than Russian roulette.
The wingspan of the F14 fighter is 19.54 meters, and the length of the unilateral wing is close to 1o meters at the minimum sweep angle. In this case, Ning Lei drove the plane to roll, and the wingtips were basically equivalent to crossing the sea.
In this case, only intuition and talent are maintained in flight, and the speed of the pilot's nerve reflex is no longer the main factor, and Ning Lei's flight action is far more thrilling than the handsome Comrade Ah Tang in the movie.
None of the vulture squads following Ning Lei, whether they were number one, two, or three, could follow Ning Lei's maneuvering rhythm for more than half a minute, and basically took the initiative to pull up the landline to change shifts after 3o seconds.
By the time Dennis scolded, the three had each rotated twice.
Futenma Airport in Gino Bay, Ryukyu, is less than 10 kilometers away from the port of Naha, and the lights of Naha Port are currently on the horizon ahead, and with fighter planes up to Mach 8, Ninh Rai will enter the airspace of Futenma Airport in a maximum of one minute.
"What? Is the sea hot? Has your PP been burned?" the public channel sounded in Ning Lei's extremely mocking Chinese English.
