Chapter 22: The Fleeing Birds of Prey
"Damn, the AN / APG-77 radar has 2200 launch cells, which is enough to easily detect fighters at a distance of 200 kilometers, how can it lose its target?"
Rodierry did not have time to think about why the AN/APY-2 radar of the E-767 large airborne early warning aircraft also lost its target, which was the problem of little Japan itself.
But the F-22A Raptor fighter, he is well aware that the advanced AN / APG-77 radar could not have made such a low-level mistake!
Major Rodierry immediately asked St. Strauss to join him to manually operate the AN/APG-77 radar, but the radar automatic pulse frequency conversion was not found, and they naturally found nothing manually, and the active phased array radar, which is known as the strongest and best in the world, actually became blind at this moment.
"Could it be that the Japanese have some advanced instantaneous stealth technology that can make fighter jets suddenly disappear into radar electromagnetic waves?"
The two men controlled the F-22A and continued to chase the kill, but they had to report the bizarre situation.
Yokota military base, Japan-US joint operations command center.
Jerry Lei has been watching the F-22A performance through the large LCD splicing screen, with the feeling of appreciating the elegant art, and the real-time dynamics of the entire local airspace are provided by the E-767 large airborne early warning aircraft lifted off by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force.
Because they are close enough, even stealth fighters of the F-22A can already be detected by AWACS, and on the screen, they are marked as the brightest green cursor point, and the shining red dot is the F-2 fighter that took off from the Songdo base against the order.
Four AIM-120C missiles were launched, and it is understandable that the F-22A became brighter because the RCS value increased a lot because of the opening of the magazine.
But what happened later made Jerry Ray and Saito Yukazu, as well as the staff officers on the side, unable to believe their eyes.
The red bright spots suddenly disappeared, and the small bright spots representing the four AIM-120C missiles were also suddenly gone, and judging from the monitored infrared radiation signals, they had self-detonated.
Where did the F-2 go?
Before reacting from the shock, the pilots of the F-22A called the Yokota base.
"Eagle's Nest, I'm Blackbird 1, the target is missing, I failed to destroy the target......"
Jerry Lei was stunned with the telephone microphone, the F-22A with a unit price of more than 100 million US dollars lost its target, and even the E-767 AWACS aircraft was blind, what the hell is going on.
An electronic intelligence staff officer hurried over, holding a freshly printed A4 piece of paper with a shock spectrum like a seismic wave or an electrocardiogram.
"Commander, this is the spectrum of electromagnetic activity in the target area detected by the F-22A Raptor fighter's situational awareness, and the following is detected by E-767, comparing the two, we can be sure that before the F-2 disappeared, there was a very violent electromagnetic disturbance, and it should be a large amount of plasma gas generated on the surface of the fighter, which caused the fighter to suddenly disappear from the radar signal!"
"This is plasma stealth technology!"
Since Jerry Lei is secretly called a theoretical master, it is not just on paper, his reserves of various theoretical knowledge are also quite rich, but at this moment, he has to look at Saito Yuwa on the side with an extremely complicated mentality.
Plasma stealth technology, isn't it the strongest among the Russians?
Of course, Jerry Lei knows that the United States is also constantly conducting corresponding research, and so is China, and other European countries also have corresponding technical research, but on a global scale, the United States and Russia have certain practical application capabilities.
When did Little Japan become so bullish?
There is a way that the side of the couch does not allow others to snore, the territory of little Japan is still at the feet of the US military, and the dog's day is actually silent With such a bull's nose technology, even the F-22A of the godfather of the US imperialist can be played.
Gee!
In an instant, Jerry Lei's eyes became even more unhappy when he looked at Saito and the officers and staff officers of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force.
Saito Yukazu immediately sensed something, and he didn't care so much, so he leaned over to Jerry Lei and looked at the A4 paper, plus the words of the electronic intelligence staff officer just now, he was sure that Jerry Lei had misunderstood.
"Major General Jerry Lei, you must have misunderstood, our F-2 fighters, oh no, all fighters do not have plasma stealth technology, and my country's research level in this area is not even able to catch up with Huaxia, you know this!"
Sometimes, the human mind is extremely complex.
Facts that are often interpreted by different people are likely to be seen as a cover-up, just as the Japanese always like to use nuclear power to generate electricity to conceal their ability to build nuclear weapons.
Of course, since Jerry Lei can be a major general, and as the commander of the US forces in Japan, he can still distinguish between them, and now is not the time to investigate whether the Japanese have mastered plasma stealth technology, and the key is to find the disappeared F-2 fighter.
However, after the incident, he vowed to make a report to the Ministry of National Defense, demanding that the relevant intelligence agencies must give a reasonable explanation, and that they should comprehensively sort out Japan's military industrial system, especially the electronics industry.
"Order the F-16C/D fleet to participate in the search, and destroy the target as soon as it is found!"
Jerry Lei's orders were quickly transmitted over the airwaves, and the F-22A Raptor fighter jet, which had been flying at high speed over Yokohama for a long time, still found nothing with the advanced AN/APG-77 radar.
Where did the F-2 fighters go?
The spirit core is worthy of being the pinnacle of prehistoric civilization, and since Wu Feng has given it the power to play, it has had enough fun this time.
In order to avoid being beaten by the F-22A Raptor as soon as it took a photo, it did not hesitate to use one of the most energy-consuming killer technologies, plasma stealth technology.
On the earth where human beings live, common substances basically present three forms: solid, liquid and gaseous, and plasma has become the fourth form, which is called plasma.
It has been found that when any uncharged ordinary gas is excited by the external high-energy excitation, such as high-energy particle bombardment, laser irradiation, etc., the electrons in some atoms break away from the nucleus and become free electrons, and the atoms become positively charged ions due to the loss of electrons.
In this way, the originally neutral gas is transformed into a macroscopic still electroneutral ionized gas composed of a large number of free electrons, positive ions and some neutral atoms due to ionization, which has good conductivity.
It turns out that one thousandth of the gas in the air is ionized, then the air will have very good electrical conductivity.
The various radar detectors currently developed by human beings are reflected and captured by emitting radar waves of a certain frequency to hit the target, and the target is also found after analysis and processing.
Today's stealth technology is aimed at the reflection of radar waves.
Whether it is designed to reduce the reflective cross-section of the very streamlined shape, or coated with special materials that can absorb radar waves, it has been applied in naval warships and air fighters, typical representatives are the US Navy DDG-1000 destroyer, F-22 and F-35.
However, the excellent conductivity of plasma makes it difficult for radar waves.
After the radar wave enters the plasma layer, the energy will be rapidly attenuated, and its propagation path will be seriously bent, which makes the radar emitting radar waves, even if it receives the reflected radar waves, not only the signal is weak, but it is very likely that the position is inaccurate, and it is a virtual image.
What's more, plasma also has an invisible effect on infrared.
Therefore, through the condensation of a large number of intelligent nanorobots on the exterior of the F-2 fighter's body surface, local instantaneous high-voltage and low-current release of electrical energy, so that the air around the fighter is rapidly ionized, forming a large amount of plasma gas to envelop the fighter.
As a result, both the AN / APG-77 radar on board the F-22A and the AN / APY-2 radar on the E-767 large airborne early warning aircraft have become blind.
It's a pity that due to the limited energy, the spirit core has to go home, so it doesn't dare to last too long, otherwise there are enough intelligent nanobots, or F-2 fighters can continuously provide abundant power, and the plasma stealth can continue.
However, being able to disappear for a short time is enough for the spirit core.
The F-22A Raptor was like a headless fly, and it was still chasing along the previous course in a daze, but it didn't realize that the spirit core had already controlled the F-2 fighter to turn around.
For the two F-22A Raptors flying at supersonic speeds, if the opposite F-2 fighter turns around and kills back, the short distance of dozens of kilometers is really not enough to fly.
In a second, the distance between them was almost a kilometer.
So, when the Spirit Core took pity on the energy and ended the plasma invisibility, both Rodirre and St. Strauss discovered that the AN/APG-77 radar had rediscovered the target.
Can......
They were stunned, this F-2 fighter's Japanese flying ace was so funny that he dared to kill it back.
What makes him so confident? It's really crazy and cool!
What surprised them even more was that the F-2 fighter jet also launched a missile.
Supersonic speed is relatively comparative, the distance between F-22A and F-2 is less than 30 kilometers, which is completely enough for AAM-4B to go berserk, and the advanced medium-range air-to-air missile that little Japan has worked hard to get out, the unit price of 1 million US dollars alone is enough to make the AIM-120C equipped with the F-22A embarrassed.
And now, the real AIM-4B is rushing with enthusiasm and unrestrained speed, but the two F-22A Raptor fighters are like electrocuted wildcats, pushing the accelerator in an instant and escaping.
Pratt & Whitney F119-PW-100 turbofan engine spewed red blue tail flames, eager to make the F-22A rush to the speed of light.
Poor Rodilrey and Saint-Strauss, who didn't even have the skills to curse, quickly fled while maneuvering the Raptor fighter jets, and at the same time hurriedly reported a missile attack.
Of course, the F-22A's powerful electronic warfare capabilities also allow them not to panic, at least before the AAM-4B kills at more than Mach 3, the electronic jamming has already begun.
To deal with medium-range radar-guided air-to-air missiles, in addition to a high-mobility escape, the F-22A electronic warfare system activated radar jamming and threw a large number of tin foil strips.
The E-767 large airborne early warning aircraft naturally has bodyguards, and its two F-2A fighters are equipped with anti-radiation missiles, and the two AAM-4B missiles are immediately locked and fired several in succession.
I don't know how effective it will be, but inside the Yokota military base, Jerry Ray was almost!!
"Fack!"
Jerry Lei, who was almost furious, never expected that the evil little Japanese pilot would defect in an F2 fighter, and he would bomb his country as much as he wanted, but he still had AAM-4B.
As the first aircraft to be equipped with a phased array radar, the AAM-4B is known as the world's most advanced medium-range air-to-air missile, is his plan to take out one or two F-22A Raptors in order to prove to the world that he can do anything?
dragged Saito no sum, at this moment, he couldn't care so much.
"Quick, the missile belongs to your country, you must have some back door, you must, immediately, immediately let the missile self-destruct, hear it!"
Jackry's voice was so thick that he roared so much that Saito and his eardrums hurt, and the dignified chief of staff of the Self-Defense Forces, with the rank of general, was actually yelled at so rudely by a major general of the U.S. Army, he was angry, but he didn't dare to vent.
But the angry Jack Rui didn't calm down and think about it, if the backdoor program was really useful, the F-2 fighter could still blow up the building and the port?
The noble fourth-generation fighter F-22A "Raptor" had to go from a menacing chase to a panicked escape.
