Because both sides were not ready for war, the luck component accounted for a large proportion in the first few battles. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the initial battle at sea, the Russian Navy took advantage of the situation, sinking not only fishing boats that had crossed the area, but also killed the patrol ships of the Coast Guard. When the destroyer of the Zoben Navy counterattacked, the "Poison Spider"-class missile boat activated its self-defense system in time and shot down the incoming missile with an AK630 machine gun.

It's just that in the next battle, the Russian army did not take advantage of it in the slightest.

Due to insufficient preparation, the Russian Air Force dispatched only four Su-35 fighters, while the Japanese Air Force dispatched four F-22A and twelve F-2 fighters at the first time. Even if all F-2s carry anti-ship missiles and point at the Russian Navy, and the number of air supremacy fighters invested by both sides is comparable, the disadvantages of Russian fighters are very obvious, considering the actual surname of the fighters and the support forces.

What's worse is that the Russian army did not know that the Air Force dispatched the F-22J.

Shortly after the Su-35 lifted off, the A-50, patrolling north of the island, spotted the F-2 group approaching at high speed and immediately guided the Su-35 group to intercept it. Because there is an overlap between the air defense identification zones of the two sides in the airspace near the four northern islands, and the Russian army mainly focuses on offensive air defense, the Su-35 has entered the air defense identification zone of the F-2 air force when it approached the F-2 group, thus becoming the target of the F-22J.

At this time, the Air Force made a mistake that was not too big or small.

In the case that the war has already begun, the air force should take advantage of the favorable opportunity to let the F-22J take the initiative to attack and clear the enemy fighters in the combat area to ensure absolute air supremacy. You must know that the patrol boats and missile boats of the Russian Navy are still patrolling the area, and the task of the F-2 is to drive these Russian ships away or sink them. The purpose of the Su-35 is also clear, to prevent the military fighters from approaching their own ships. In other words, as long as the Air Force does not abandon the purpose of the mission, the F-2 will be attacked when it approaches the Russian ship.

Air combat was inevitable, but the rear commander of the Air Force forbade the F-22J to take the initiative to attack.

According to the order of the commander of the army on the E-767, four F-22Js quickly approached the Su-35, intending to create an air separation zone between their attack aircraft and Russian fighters to protect the F-2 group.

In this way, the stealth advantage of the F-22J is gone.

If it weren't for the fact that the F-22J has supersonic cruise capabilities, otherwise before approaching the Su-35, the Russian fighter jets had already launched missiles, and the F-2 fleet was more than lucky.

After discovering the approaching F-22J group, the Russian fighters immediately changed the target of interception.

A combat air battle that was very out of step with the times began.

The stealth capabilities of the Su-35 are not very good, but in terms of maneuverability, it can certainly be regarded as the best among third-generation fighters. According to the tactical thinking of the Russian Air Force, if it encounters F-22 series fighters, the Su-35's only chance of winning is to pull the air combat into the visual range, use the more excellent maneuverability, and the more advanced combat missiles, plus the pilot's helmet aiming system, to defeat the opponent.

It's a pity that even then, the Su-35 doesn't have much chance of winning.

As the ultimate improved version of the Su-27, the Su-35 retains the outstanding characteristics of the Su-27 horizontal maneuverability, and by replacing the 117S engine with higher thrust, it has obtained a better vertical maneuverability. But even so, the vertical maneuverability of the Su-35 is still not ideal.

This is a problem that comes from the womb and is difficult to improve through improvement.

The reason is simple, the empty weight of the Su-35 is too large.

Compared to the fighter of the same era, the F-15, the Su-27 has an empty weight of almost three tons, and when performing air combat missions it weighs almost five tons, while the maximum afterburner of the two engines used is not much higher than that of the F-15, plus the excessive wing load, the vertical maneuverability of the Su-27 can look very bad in front of the F-15.

This has long been confirmed by the US military.

In the confrontation exercise with the Indian Air Force, the US Air Force F-15C was still able to easily throw off the Su-30MKI carrying only basic missile weapons after hanging two large auxiliary fuel tanks, especially when climbing at a high elevation angle, the Su-30MKI could not even touch the ass of the F-15C.

Although the vertical maneuverability of the Su-35 can be improved, the F-22J is not so simple as the improvement of the F-15.

Before the encounter, the pilots on the F-22J learned through the E-767 that their opponent was the most advanced Su-35 fighter of the Russian Air Force.

When seizing the advantageous position, the F-22J fleet flew at an altitude of a thousand meters higher than the Su-35.

As a result, within line-of-sight, the Su-35 was forced to use vertical maneuvers, which it was not good at, and chased the F-22J, which was very prominent in maneuvering. While the Su-35 was struggling to climb, the F-22J had easily increased its flight altitude, and then used the sun's obscuration to enter the rear hemisphere of the Su-35.

This set of tactics is not complicated, and the pilots learned it from instructors during training in the United States.

Because there are a large number of Soviet-style fighters among the potential enemy countries, and the Su-27 and its modifications are the mainstay, when the pilots receive tactical training for the F-22J, they pay special attention to the confrontation tactics against the Su-27 fighters, and the most effective way is to force the opponent into a vertical maneuver.

This time, the Russian pilots tasted the bitterness.

Having been bitten by the F-22J, the Su-35 had little chance of turning defeat into victory.

It can be said that in terms of various maneuvers, the Su-35 has no advantages except for the instantaneous hovering surname, and the continuous aerial combat hardly needs the instantaneous circling surname. With the popularity of a large number of combat missiles with large off-axis launch angles and pilots' helmet-mounted targeting systems, this kind of maneuver can be of little use when launching missiles, but it is more important to have a stable hovering surname.

The dogfight between the fighters of both sides lasted less than five minutes, and the victory or defeat was decided.

Four F-22Js, having received the E-767's order to fire, unceremoniously shot down four Su-95s with AIM-35Xs imported from the United States.

From the beginning to the end, the Su-35 did not receive a chance to counterattack.

Although it is said that there are self-developed combat missiles, and their surnames are not much worse than AIM-9X, the first batch of F-22J introduced all use American-made missiles, mainly because the integration of the fire control system has not yet been completed.

This is not the first shot fired by either side.

Prior to this, the F-2 group, guided by the E-767 and using the battlefield information provided by the EC-2, had launched anti-ship missiles at Russian ships in the waters off Shikotan Island.

Because the attack on the sea has already begun, the commander of the army is no longer taboo.

Anyway, it's already been fought, so it's not the same where to fight?

Among the five Russian warships that were attacked, there were the two "Poisonous Spider"-class missile boats that had previously been launched, as well as two gunboats belonging to the Russian Marine Police and a "Krivac"-class frigate. Among them, the only one that really has naval combat capabilities is that frigate.

Probably having some understanding of the self-defense system on the Russian warships, the military adopted a saturation attack tactic this time.

In total, twelve F-2 fighters fired twenty-four anti-ship missiles at five ships, eight of which flew to that frigate, twelve to two missile boats, and four to two gunboats.

Although the absolute number is not very large, it is absolutely saturated in relation to the air defense interception capabilities of Russian ships.

As a result, it is conceivable that no warship can cope with so many missiles at the same time in a situation where the passive jamming system is useless and can only rely on AK630 rapid-fire guns.

Within five minutes, five Russian warships were shot one after another.

The two gunboats, with a displacement of just over 200 tons, immediately exploded and sank, and the two "Poison Spider" class missile boats only survived for five more minutes, and the "Krivak" class frigate sank into the sea after only three minutes of floating on the surface of the water after being hit by five missiles. Of the more than 600 Russian officers and sailors on the five ships, only one sailor on the frigate survived, and he was on the aft deck when the missile hit the frigate and was thrown into the sea by the air waves.

I am afraid that even the Russian president did not expect this result.

Immediately after the total annihilation of the Su-35 group, the Russian Air Force dispatched eight fighters of the same type, and at the same time ordered the A-50s, operating near the battlefield, to immediately retreat over Sakhalin Island and enter the cover area of surface-to-air missiles. As for the ships of the Russian Navy, they do not dare to take a step beyond the minepool.

At this time, the army made a far-reaching mistake.

If you take advantage of the victory and chase after the A-50, it will be difficult for the Russian army to reverse the situation in the next battle, and it will not even have the opportunity to effectively counterattack. You know, at that time, Russia had only two A-50s in the Far East, and it would take several days to send them from other regions. With only one A-50, it is impossible for the Russian army to maintain twenty-four hours of uninterrupted aerial surveillance of the warring airspace in any case.

It is a pity that the army missed this opportunity to expand the results.

After the four F-22J flags were victorious, they did not continue to penetrate deep into Russian airspace, but returned to the vicinity of the F-2 group to cover the return of the fighters who had completed the attack.

The direct consequence of this mistake is that the Russian army retains the decisive forces to launch a counterattack.

In the ensuing naval and air battles, the invincible A-50 played an unimaginable role.

At this time, the senior management did not bother to pay attention to the A-50.

He shot down four Russian fighters and sank five Russian ships in one fell swoop, without losing a single of his own. This result even Ikawa Kojiro couldn't believe it.

The Russian army is so vulnerable?

You must know that not long ago, Russia boasted that the Su-35 was the only fighter that could compete with the F-22A for three and a half generations, and it was the most outstanding fighter in the world.

Surprise to surprise, Ikawa Kojiro was not carried away by the victory.

Russia's superiority is not in the air, nor on the surface of the sea, but under the surface of the sea.

The Pacific Fleet has at least one "Akula" type attack nuclear submarine with very strong combat effectiveness, and perhaps the Russian Navy has secretly sent more attack nuclear submarines, plus several "Kilo" class submarines with the surname "Kilo", the Russian Navy's underwater fleet has strong enough combat effectiveness.

If you can't withstand the ferocious counterattack of Russian submarines, all victories will be empty promises.

It's just that the war has already begun, and we can't retreat, so we can only continue to advance, use three fleets to seize sea supremacy, and under the cover of the air force, dispatch ground forces to recover the four northern islands!
