Chapter 14: The Defecting Fighter

After being integrated with the F-2 multi-role fighter, the spirit core first started with the flight control system cracking, and almost in milliseconds, it broke the fighter's various system modules.

The HUD head-up display, MFD multi-function display, control panel, control stick, throttle stick, switch and other control display devices in the cockpit are all configured to meet the pilot's driving control, but they are now all furnishings.

The spirit core, which is integrated with the fighter, does not need to be piloted like a mann, and needs to operate the throttle stick and joystick when flying, and also has to complete complex operations through the target management switch, weapon drop switch, trim knob, display management button, missile classification button, trigger and so on on the joystick.

The radar antenna controller, decoupled yaw mode selector switch, air combat mode button, and cursor control button on the throttle stick are also ignored, and of course, there is no need to watch the basic flight information, interception information, target information, weapon delivery information, and other data information required for the final attack phase provided by the HUD.

Directly detaching these control and display devices from the fighter, the spirit core directly issues data commands to each system module of the fighter, and obtains data information including airspeed, Mach number, barometric altitude, magnetic heading, pitch and roll information, overload, turning rate, side slip, angle of attack, vertical speed and trim.

In this way, a series of links of observation, thinking and judgment, decision-making and corresponding actions among personnel are reduced, and the rapid response ability of the fighter is greatly improved, which is the difference between manned fighters and unmanned fighters.

"Master, I have successfully controlled the FCS flight control system!"

The highly intelligent spirit core sent back a very happy voice, the F-2 fighter is equipped with a 3-degree digital fly-by-wire flight control system that was originally designed for the high maneuverability of the fighter.

This system is now fully controlled and further optimized by the Spirit Core, which means that the Spirit Core can not only flexibly control the fighter to fly, but also produce the optimal control response at any flight altitude and speed, using the lift generated by the wings and horizontal stabilizers to automatically compensate for the stability of the aircraft, greatly increasing the maneuverability of the aircraft.

To put it simply, this fighter has become the first set of air combat high-mobility weapons mastered by the spirit core in the true sense, because there is no overload limit of the human body, the spirit core can easily fly out of the limit overload of this type of fighter and make ultra-difficult flight maneuvers.

Ace pilots who have received professional anti-overload training can generally resist overload up to 9 G, but they can rarely resist 30 seconds, and they will have black vision or even bloody vision due to severe ischemia, coupled with confusion, which will lead to the loss of control and crash of the fighter.

Obviously, the spirit core is not flesh and blood, as long as the data channel transmission is normal, the overload limit of the fighter is completely because of the structure and materials of the body, in order to prevent the fighter from disintegrating in the air due to excessive excitement, Wu Feng ordered the spirit core to set the maximum overload not to exceed 18 G.

After completing a series of data tampering and resetting, Wu Feng, who remotely commanded the spirit core to fly the fighter, began to order the spirit core to make preparations for inspection before takeoff.

"How much fuel?"

"The fuel in the aircraft is 4,750 liters, and among the 13 external attachment points that can be detected, the No. 5 and No. 7 contacts are each hung with two auxiliary fuel tanks with a capacity of 2,271 liters, and the No. 6 fuselage pylons are hung with a capacity of 1,136 liters auxiliary fuel tanks, carrying a total of 11,000 liters of fuel."

"Ammo status?"

"AAM-4B air-to-air long-range active knowing missiles 4, AAM-5 air-to-air short-range and medium-range infrared guided missiles 4, 20 mm JM61A1 cannon remaining 512 rounds."

"Report on the status of each system!"

"The J/APG-2 active phased array fire control radar is normal, the IRS inertial reference system is normal, the ADSS air data sensor system is normal, the ring laser gyroscope and strapdown inertial navigation system are normal, and the IEWS integrated electronic warfare system is normal......"

After a series of inspections and confirmations, Wu Feng quickly calculated the combat effectiveness of the F-2 multirole fighter controlled by the spirit core.

More than 10,000 liters of fuel is enough to ensure a flight range of more than 3,000 kilometers under the condition of carrying eight missiles, but the premise is that there is no air combat and no missile pursuit and escape, but this is obviously unrealistic.

Wu Feng could predict that once this fighter, which was supposed to form a two-plane combat readiness duty crew together with another combat readiness hangar next to it, rashly took off without an order from the top, it would only take a few minutes for this fighter to be classified as a defector fighter and would be hit by repeated blows from the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force and even the Japanese army and navy air defense forces until it crashed.

Maybe the Japanese side will be tempted, contacted, persuaded to surrender, maybe it will encounter the US Navy and Air Force stationed in Japan, and maybe there are more unpredictable factors, but there is no turning back from the bow, and it is time to settle old accounts with little Japan, so Wu Feng immediately issued a combat order to the spirit core.

The first target of the attack was the Shin-Shinano Inverter Station in Nagano Prefecture.

The Songdao base was quiet at night, and no one noticed that in the combat readiness hangar closest to the flight runway, an F-2 fighter was quietly ready to take off.

Close the power supply, open the drive motor and oil valve, and with a slight vibration, the drive motor drives the rotor of the F110-IHI-129 turbofan engine to rotate rapidly.

After the fuel injector ignites the high-quality aviation kerosene injection, the tail nozzle begins to spray high-pressure and high-heat air to generate thrust, allowing the fighter to slowly drive away from the hangar.

The roar of the turbofan engine was shrill and sharp, and the F-2 fighter jets that slid into the runway at low speed quickly made the Japanese soldiers on duty realize that they did not panic or report at the first time, but watched.

As an elite aviation flying team, it is normal for the Air Self-Defense Force to give take-off orders at any time and let fighters on combat readiness take off for routine patrols in order to check the combat readiness and reaction speed of the troops.

But what's not normal is that there is no order tonight?

The cockpit of the fighter was closed and no display panel was turned on, and the cabin was so dark that the ground personnel had no time to identify who was piloting it, and the F110-IHI-129 turbofan engine roared.

Airplanes!

The sudden roar was deafening, and the tail jet of the F-2 fighter jet that stopped at the end of the runway shot out a light blue tail flame, and the fireworks elongated with the high-pressure air current, making it look particularly blue and dreamy under the night sky.

The nearest duty guard quickly called the tower, and to their shock, there was no flight training mission, let alone any orders.

Throwing down the phone, the Japanese soldiers threw their lap legs and ran towards the fighter jets with extremely exaggerated movements, shouting as they ran.

"Hey, stop!"

"No takeoff!"

The spirit core couldn't hear the barking of the beast dog at all, and after the brakes were removed, under the surging thrust, the heavy F-2 fighter quickly accelerated, like a wild horse, better than a sprinting cheetah, without the slightest condensation, and dragged a long blue dazzling flame out.

The distance of more than 400 meters is a short period of ten seconds calculated in seconds for the fighters who are constantly speeding and galloping, and before the Japanese sirens at the base are sounded, the heavy fighters slowly raise their noses, retract their landing gear and advance into the vast night sky.

Everything came too suddenly, and after the fighter lifted into the air, the Japanese troops on the ground found that the fighter had not turned on the navigation lights.

According to the usual practice, when the aircraft of various countries fly at night, they will turn on the navigation lights to indicate their position and direction of movement, so as to facilitate mutual avoidance and identification.

This fighter did not receive the order to take off, and it is understandable that it did not turn on the navigation lights, LOGO lights, anti-collision lights, etc., but after taking off and entering the cruise phase, it should have turned on the red flashing lights and navigation lights, but this fighter did not turn on any lights, let alone the LOGO lights and wing lights, what does that mean?

Defected!

Only pilots who defected on the plane would be afraid of being spotted visually, and took off without turning on the lights, and the most worrying thing for the Japanese troops on the ground was that the F-2 fighter was full of fuel and ammunition.

The sharp and shrill sirens immediately sounded through the base, and after being woken up by the alarm, the sleeping base personnel quickly turned over and got up, and some even put on their shirts, pants, shoes and socks while running to the battle position.

However, it was too late.

Rumble!

With a dull loud bang, accompanied by a dazzling light, an earth-shattering explosion occurred in the No. 1 combat readiness hangar, and in the dazzling firelight, the smoke had not yet risen into the air, and the adjacent No. 2 combat readiness hangar was affected.

The fighter jets in Hangar No. 2 loaded with fuel and missiles and the spare ammunition added to the explosion, and in an instant, the entire Songdo base felt like a super earthquake.

Powerful tremors, flying fragments, huge fireballs, thick black smoke......

The sudden explosion stunned everyone in the flight control tower.

Did war break out?

The explosion sparked a ferocious fire that began to spread as the oil pipeline was laid inside the hangar.

The so-called elite of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, which has enjoyed peace for too long, is at best an eye-catching performance in the exercise, and some people are dumbfounded and at a loss when an absolutely real explosion roars with death.

Screaming and wailing, the soldiers on fire rolled on the ground, and the soldiers who were wounded by the explosion and scattered fragments howled in pain.

This is not a drill, this is a war!

The officers who quickly reacted from the shock began to organize soldiers to put out the fire, and of course, there were also communication officers who quickly reported the situation, and the entire base quickly entered an emergency state.

The explosion did not damage the base's command communication and radar monitoring system, and all types of radars were turned on to search for all aircraft in the airspace, and the C4ISR command system quickly commanded and linked.

However, all the radars at the base, including the civil aviation control radars in the surrounding areas that were under the orders of the military under emergency conditions, did not make any gains.

Could it be that this defector disappeared into thin air after it took off?

Of course, the F-2 multi-role fighter controlled by the spirit core did not have the ability to disappear out of thin air, but in order to delay the time of discovery as much as possible, after taking off, Wu Feng ordered the spirit core to adopt an ultra-low-altitude flight attitude, and went straight to the new Shinano frequency conversion station at high speed with the straightest route.

Affected by the curvature of the earth and the topography, the detection distance of various types of radars on the ground for ultra-low-flying fighters has been greatly shortened, and then the illusion of the fighter suddenly disappearing out of thin air has been formed.
