Chapter 916: A Time of Crisis
However, in the course of the first wave of medium-range air-to-air missile attacks, the two sides evaded the attack of the incoming missiles by virtue of the excellent maneuverability of their fighters and did not suffer the slightest damage.
So hundreds of expensive air-to-air missiles were wasted, but fortunately, this is just a show, not a real thing, otherwise how much will these hundreds of missiles cost!
Ahem, if there is no damage and no down, it is not all right, there will always be accidents, just like if you are walking on a flat road, you may be unlucky because of a small pebble on the road with such a big pebble on the belly, and now there is such an unlucky guy, although this Red Army brother was not hit by the medium-range air-to-air missiles launched by the incoming Blue Army, but this poor Red Army brother was unlucky to maneuver in the air to dodge, The engine inadvertently inhaled a small piece of shrapnel after the explosion of the Blue Army's air-to-air missile, which tragically caused an engine to stop in the air, this unlucky fighter had to withdraw from the battlefield, relying on another engine to fly back to the base Fortunately, the navy's fighter jets are all using a twin-engine design scheme, otherwise this guy would only have a forced landing or parachute jump on the sea, fortunately, this is just a drill, and the missiles launched are also hit by computer simulations, and the engine is not really inhaled into foreign objects to park, Rather, the pilot turned off one of the engines himself according to the exercise plan, otherwise the dude would have been really miserable.
It seems that after only a blink of an eye, the most tense and fierce moment has finally arrived, after avoiding the first wave of medium-range air-to-air missile attacks, the fighters of the Red Army and the Blue Army have already entered the range of the short-range air-to-air combat missiles of both sides, and the pilots of both sides can almost see the shadow of the opponent's fighters, and the target of the opponent's fighter plane on the radar is so obvious, as if it is wine in front of their eyes, and for a while, the "Sidewinder" of the Blue Army in the sky and the "shooter" of the Red Army are the "shooters" of the Red Army The short-range air-to-air combat missiles flew together, and the white tail smoke of the missiles crossed was blue and blue!
The missiles launched by the two sides streaked through the long white smoke in the air, and from time to time you can see the fighters of the Red Army and the Blue Army in order to avoid the attack of the enemy missiles to make a variety of wonderful evasive actions, Zhang Lan watched this hot-blooded ***, I can't wait to drive the plane to do his ticket in person: the whole scene is much more exciting and intense than Tom's "Top Gun".
From time to time, you can see fighters that turn on the afterburner of their engines to quickly maneuver at supersonic speed in order to evade the attack of the enemy's missiles, and you can also see the dazzling light of infrared decoy bombs and aluminum foil decoy bombs launched from time to time in the sky.
In this contest, which represents the world's top two short-range air-to-air combat missiles: the United States' "Sidewinder" short-range air-to-air combat missile and the former Soviet Union's "Archer" short-range air-to-air combat missile, in the end, the Soviet-made "Archer" short-range air-to-air combat missile, which has higher mobility, a large off-axis firing capability and a visual helmet aiming system, that is, the so-called "can be seen and can fight" capability, has a slight upper hand in terms of performance, and the results achieved are also more brilliant. The short-range air-to-air combat missile "shot down" five Blue Army fighters, while the "Sidewinder" short-range air-to-air combat missile on the Blue Army side "shot down" only one Red Army fighter because of its maneuverability and off-axis angle launch capability.
The US Secretary of Defense, who was watching the exercise through satellites, was so angry that he almost vomited blood: Are our Sidewinder missiles so bad?!
What is very depressing is that although the battle is fierce at the moment, the phased array radar of the "aircraft carrier battle group" on the blue army side is well aware of the air battle situation over this sea area, and their own side also has the most advanced air defense system in the world, at least they themselves say so, but the fighters of the Red Army have not yet entered the range of the "Aegis" air defense system of the aircraft carrier battle group of the blue army, although the entire aircraft carrier battle group of the blue army is impatient, and if it is even possible, they are eager to pounce on it in person and bite down the fighters of the Red Army. Although the Blue Army instructed the Blue Army fighters to guide the fighters of the Red Army side to the combat area of the Aegis air defense system on their own side, lure the enemy deeper, and let the "Aegis" system of their fleet attack this damn group, the Red Army, which had already received the order, was not fooled, so that the aircraft carrier battle group of the Blue Army had powerful anti-aircraft firepower, but there was nowhere to use it, and the commander of the anxious Blue Army kept jumping there.
The intensity and excitement of this air battle made all the countries that followed this military exercise stunned: Is the battle really so fierce? Is Russia really still having such a powerful combat force? Isn't it already said that Russia's military strength has declined sharply now, and it can no longer be compared with the powerful Soviet army more than a decade ago
What's going on here? These guys obviously forgot a sentence: thin is bigger than horsesOf course, these guys don't know and forgiving, who made them not Chinese? Although the Soviet Union collapsed, where is it so easy to be defeated by a country that has existed in this world for many years and can become one of the two poles of the world? Even if you eat the old book born before the Soviet Union, it is enough for the current Russia to eat for ten or twenty years.
Such a large-scale air battle is the first time since World War II, counting all the wars after World War II, isn't that time all of them bullying the small and relying on the strong to bully the weak? How can the attacked side have such a powerful air force? In the second half of the Korean War, the volunteer soldiers with the support of a strong air force were consciously and selectively forgotten by these guys.
Although this is only an exercise, and it may be that the Russian team does not know much about the performance of their imaginary enemy's fighter jets and weapons and equipment, but just through this exercise, it is enough to explain a lot of problems. The countries of Europe and the United States, which did not know much about Russia's military strength before, have thoroughly seen the strength of the combat capability of Russian-made equipment this time, and this is still the combat force left over from the disintegration of the Soviet Union for more than seven years, and this is still the combat force after the division and collapse of their own efforts, if it is the combat force of the Soviet Union in its heyday? What will it look like? None of those who were following the exercise dared to continue thinking about it. ,
But there was one thing in them that they had formed a tacit agreement in their minds that they had not yet negotiated: they must do everything they could to prevent the country from becoming strong again, well, of course, and the mysterious ancient country of the country that was rapidly rising to the south of the country with a civilization of years and a knack for miracles.
Well, no matter what their reaction is, but now after all, it is still an exercise, and the exercises that should be carried out must continue, after the missiles carried by the planes of both sides are almost exhausted at the same time, the close-range bayonet operation, ahem, did not start, after all, not every country's pilots have the courage to dare to go up with their cannons after the missiles are finished.
Both the Red Army and the Blues began to return to their respective bases after the first wave of attacks had finished the weapons they were carrying, ready to go back and carry their weapons to fight again.
At this moment, however, a scene that no one could have imagined appeared: a well-equipped aircraft group on the Red Army side suddenly appeared in front of both sides as if it were a divine soldier, and just when the Blue Army had not yet reacted, the fighter planes of the Red Army, which had more than 100 "Snake" medium-range air-to-air missiles, turned their noses and prepared to return to the Red Army in the first wave, and rushed towards the carrier-based fighters of the Blue Army.
The nearly 100 white smoke of the "snake" medium-range air-to-air missile quickly swept through the blue sky, just like the black and white impermanence of the soul lock, with a cruel smile that seemed to come from the eighteenth layer of hell, towards the killer of the fighter on the blue army's side, and wanted to choose someone to devour.
Compared with the blue army's reliance on the "sea airfield floating on the sea", the Red Army's fighter planes take off on land after all, and the combat radius of the Red Army's "Flanker" fighters is originally larger than that of the 1 "Tomcat" carrier-based fighter and the 1 "Hornet" carrier-based fighter on the Blue Army's side, and the bomb load is relatively large, and the Red Army side is almost fighting on the mainland, and the wide ground on the land even allows you to take off multiple fighters in one batch, which is not comparable to the take-off speed of the aircraft carrier.
Naturally, the Red Army did not have to worry about these missiles attacking itself, so it climbed a little higher and began to return to the base to replenish ammunition and fuel leisurely: after all, there has been no mistake in the identification device of friend or foe in its own country so far, but the identification device of the Blue Army often has inexplicable malfunctions, and the missiles often beat down the fighters of their own side.
Listening to the warning sound of the incoming missile in the cockpit and the flashing red warning light, the fighters on the Blue Army side were suddenly shocked and almost scattered: where did these fighters on the Red Army side come from? Why didn't you receive a warning from the fleet command center before?
Looking at the airborne radar, it is densely packed with fighters from the Red Army, and it is dazzling to see. Look at your own weapons and equipment, all weapons except the cannons have been fired, and even passive self-defense weapons such as infrared decoy bombs and chaff jamming bombs have been fired cleanly.
