"Fake, we have to adopt a more effective strategy, we can't fight stupidly like this!"

The pilot of the F-22 fighter who temporarily served as commander cursed.

America's aerial eagles have too much advantage in this world, and the polar bear, which once could compete with the American aerial eagles, has declined to the point where it can only barely guarantee its own survival, and can no longer become a close enemy of the United States.

If it weren't for the terrible and massive nuclear arsenal of polar bears, the United States would have torn polar bears to bones long ago.

This has caused the American eagles in the sky, even after many actual battles, often relying on the advantages of strength and equipment to beat children from all sides, although they can be called invincible in the world, it can be said that they are alone and seek defeat, so that they can only choose aliens as opponents in Hollywood movies.

But because of this, once the enemy masters some kind of aircraft that is about the same level as the American Sky Eagle, or even more advanced, the American Sky Eagle becomes somewhat non-combative.

For example, the timing of launching the AIM-120 air-to-air missile should not be so early, but when it is in the air, it should find the most suitable angle to launch, not just the untechnical back and forth cycle of "lock-get rid of lock-continue lock".

But, after all, it was the strongest air force on the planet, and soon they found out about their problems and began to fly the F-22, ready to start an aerial dogfight.

Although, in terms of maneuverability, the F-22 is not necessarily very good. But the intrepid American knights of the sky still did not back down.

"Come on, then!"

Dog fighting in the air is not as people imagine, it is necessary to make all kinds of dazzling tactical maneuvers, what roller maneuver, what Imaman maneuver, what Pugachev cobra maneuver, what supercobra maneuver, and so on.

In fact, these maneuvers are often seen in air show shows, mainly to show off their skills and show off the extraordinary performance of their own aircraft.

But in actual combat, flight maneuvers are more focused on simplicity and practicality. In other words, as long as it's good for fighting. As for what maneuver to take, even if it is a simple maneuver, as long as it is effective. At this time, similar show-off moves seem fancy and redundant.

The theory of aerial combat of aircraft mostly adopts the "energy maneuver theory" of US Air Force Major John Boyd.

This theory suggests that in aerial dogfights, the side with the higher SEP has the upper hand at any point in the flight envelope. The so-called SEP is the unit residual power (specific-excess-power, SEP) of the fighter, and the formula is SEP = (thrust-drag) * speed/weight.

In other words, in aerial combat, the side with more energy has a greater advantage and is more likely to win.

Then in the aerial combat of fighters, the battle between the two sides is actually mainly the process of lift-to-bite-dive-and then lift-off.

The purpose of lift-off is to gain more gravitational potential energy. Diving from a height can give you a greater advantage.

Yang Chen is not from the Air Force, so it is said that he should not have much advantage in the face of four F-22s.

But his greatest strength lies in the fact that his physical fitness far surpasses that of the F-22 pilots.

At the same time, the F-22's not excellent aerial fighting performance also gave Yang Chen a chance.

Of course, the biggest advantage is the strong maneuverability and speed change ability of the Star. It can exceed Mach 6 at the fastest speed, and can withstand much higher overload flights than the F-22 pilot's body can withstand -- the variable speed overload of high-speed flight is determined not only by the performance of the aircraft, but also by the pilot.

Too high an overload often leads to red vision (negative G action, cerebral congestion) or black vision (positive G action, cerebral ischemia). If the pilot's physical fitness is not up to scratch, an overload can kill him, so what is the use of the aircraft no matter how advanced and good the performance is?

In fact, many times, it is not that the designers of the aircraft cannot design the aircraft with better performance, but the physical limitations of the pilots lead to them being limited to a certain range of aircraft performance. Otherwise, mastering the space technology that can get rid of the first cosmic speed can create better aircraft, and the reason why this is not done is simply because the pilot cannot bear it.

Because of this, the body's reaction speed also determines how much the performance of the aircraft can be used.

Even if the U.S. military pilots were allowed to fly Yang Chen's Star, their lack of physical fitness made them completely unable to perform the same performance as Yang Chen. In the end, it still has to fail, not to mention that Yang Chen's Xingchen far surpasses the F-22's performance?

"Bite him!"

None of this was known to the pilots of the four F-22 fighters opposite. They were still in a tense aerial fight.

"That's right!"

"Hold on, we're coming!"

"Be careful! He's behind you!"

Yang Chen did not give full play to the performance of the Star at the beginning, but accompanied the pilots of the F-22 for a period of time.

The five of them flew back and forth in the air, with Yang Chen occupying the high altitude for a while and the pilot of the F-22 occupying the high altitude for a while.

However, Yang Chen only has one flying machine, and even if he is evenly matched, it actually means that the other party has lost.

"Damn! he swooped down!"

"Good opportunity! Missile launch!"

Yang Chen piloted the Xingchen like a dexterous swallow, circling and flying back and forth around the four "birds of prey", almost not allowing the other party to seize Yang Chen's chance.

In the tremor of such high speed and high overload, the pilots of the F-22 already felt a little unbearable.

The missile, which was supposed to be launched at a better opportunity, had to be launched when it found a barely good opportunity.

"Drop, drop, this ship has been locked by a missile!"

"Reactionary kinetic weapon system activated!"

"The coordinates of the enemy's missile have been locked!Reactionary Kinetic Weapon System.72 Electromagnetic Machine Gun Launched!"

The spacecraft shook slightly, and a series of projectiles flew out, successfully detonating the AIM-120 advanced medium-range air-to-air missile in the air.

Although the reaction was very fast, after all, in order to deal with this missile, Yang Chen was delayed for a period of time, and the four F-22 fighters had seized the opportunity to launch missiles one by one, not only AIM-120 advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles, but also AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles.

It is now not an over-the-horizon air combat, so the AIM-9 Sidewinder missile, which does not have over-the-horizon combat capabilities, can also be used.

As the first practical air-to-air missile on the earth, the first air-to-air missile designed with infrared as a guidance method, and the first air-to-air missile with a record of shooting down targets, the AIM-9 Sidewinder missile is not small, but now it is inevitably a little behind.

Of course, if in non-over-the-horizon air combat, the AIM-9 Sidewinder missile is quite powerful.

For a while, the missiles in the air were scurrying around, and they all aimed at Yang Chen.

"Sea of missiles?"

The corners of Yang Chen's mouth twitched, expressing disdain.

The reactionary weapon system is already fully operational, and this time, the reactionary weapon system has adopted other weapons, and by the way, it has begun to conduct combat tests at the same time.

"Xingchen, the actual combat test of the 'Flying Crab' small-caliber Xingchen pulse cannon, begin!"

The Star Pulse Cannon is a weapon that uses the power of the stars to fight and generate pulse waves of the power of the stars. The biggest use of this weapon is still in space. It has a rate of fire of one-third the speed of light, and the energy it carries is adjustable. The maximum can reach the level of a nuclear bomb with a yield of 10,000 tons of T.N.T. equivalent. However, the maximum energy launch is only three rounds per day, and then the equipment is cooled and psionic is charged.

To deal with a few missiles, of course, you don't need such high energy.

But the Star Pulse Bomb was still powerful enough to destroy all the missiles that came its way.

However, in just three seconds, all seven of them, including three AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles and four AIM-120 advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles, were all blown up by the attack of the Star Pulse Bomb.

"Come and don't be rude! You can also try my missiles!"

Yang Chen pressed a button.

"The Star, the 'Flying Sword' I psionic missile has begun combat testing. Loading missile type: high-explosive class. ”

Suddenly, from the belly of the Star, a missile flew out like lightning!

That's really lightning-fast speed!

The "Flying Sword" I psionic missile uses a variety of guidance methods, and basically no combat weapon of modern technology can escape the lock.

The point is that the real combat environment in the design of the "Flying Sword" I psionic missile is also in space. As a result, the speed of such missiles far exceeds that of missiles in the traditional sense.

In space, the Flying Sword I psionic missile can reach one hundredth of a light speed per second (which must be achieved after a long period of acceleration), which is almost equivalent to Mach 1,000, and has a combat radius of 100,000 kilometers.

In the atmosphere, the Flying Sword I psionic missile cannot reach the speed of one hundredth of light due to air resistance, but it can still reach speeds of at least Mach 50 or more. In fact, due to the gravitational pull of the Earth, the Flying Sword I Psionic Missile can have better acceleration performance than in space. It is only because of the air resistance that it cannot be surpassed in space.

Although the Flying Sword I Psionic Missile's body is equipped with a vacuum circle that can expel the surrounding air and greatly reduce air resistance, too fast acceleration will still cause extremely high air friction and thus loss of kinetic energy. Therefore, the Flying Sword I psionic missile in the atmosphere can only reach Mach 50. This is equivalent to 17 kilometers per second, and the first cosmic speed is only 7.9 kilometers per second. Therefore, too high speed may not be a good thing for weapons fighting in the atmosphere.

The Flying Sword I psionic missile launched by Yang Chen before carried the simplest and most ordinary high-explosive warhead, not a special warhead, but under the effect of the vacuum array, its speed still reached Mach 20 in just two seconds!

At such a high speed, it was just the blink of an eye, and the F-22 fighter that was locked by the psionic missile had already been hit!

While they were reminding each other in their data link, a huge fireball had exploded in the air, and an F-22 fighter was blown up, and the pilot didn't even have time to eject.

The birds of prey have broken their wings!
