Chapter Seventy-Five: Volley

readx;

When the mission commander arranged the flight mission, Liu Wei stood closest to the door, so he was the first to leave and the first to rush to the pilot's rest center. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 By the time the other pilots arrived, Liu Wei had already changed into his flight suit and was checking the equipment he was carrying.

"Uesugi-kun, are you in such a hurry to go back, do you miss your fiancée?"

"What's the matter, Uesugi-kun has a good relationship here." Maehara walked over and said to Liu Wei, "Ignore him, that guy is this virtue." ”

Liu Wei smiled, thinking that this guy in front of the original was quite interesting.

The pilot who joked with Liu Wei was called Sakai, a veteran pilot who had flown six types of fighters and had a total flight hours of more than 5,000 hours, the most among the fifteen, and the oldest one. It's a pity that this guy has a bad mouth and has offended many people, and he is still a young pilot. The pilots who graduated from the aviation school with him back then were at least Dazuo, and some even became generals.

After the assembly, the twelve pilots took the transport car to the tarmac.

The remaining three pilots, along with other personnel, will return to China in the afternoon on a special plane chartered by the Air Force.

The fighters had been towed out of the hangar by ground crews and lined up in the take-off standby area next to the runway. Because a comprehensive inspection had been done yesterday afternoon and it was parked in a thermostatic hangar, the ground crew only did an ordinary inspection, and the main work was done by the self-inspection equipment on the fighter jet.

This is a major feature of the F-22 family of fighters.

In order to reduce maintenance costs and shorten maintenance time, the fighter has a set of self-inspection system, which can carry out basic inspections of avionics, hydraulics, air pressure, transmission and other subsystems, and then be more thoroughly inspected by ground crews after problems are found. In wartime, this system can shorten the preparation time for the re-takeoff of fighters from half an hour to 15 minutes for the F-15 series, thus greatly improving the combat attendance rate of fighters.

Unfortunately, the self-inspection system cannot detect vandalism, especially damage that is very difficult to detect.

Before boarding, the mission commander gave one last briefing on the mission and cheered up the twelve pilots to remind them of their military duties.

Liu Wei had already heard this thing with calluses in his ears.

Boarding the plane, Liu Wei methodically fastened his seat belt, put on the pilot's helmet, and asked the service personnel who assisted him in taking off to check it for him.

Because I had already fumbled around the F-22J the night before, I didn't have much trouble taking off.

Generally speaking, the F-22J's flight control system is not as good as the F-35B, after all, this fighter was established in the seventies of the last century, and the prototype aircraft was launched in the nineties and put into production more than ten years ago.

It's just that the F-22 and F-35 are both products of Loma and are very similar in many ways.

Because the replacement of the control system involves the "flight control and fire integrated control system", and the redesign cost is huge, so when purchasing the F-22J, it did not put forward improvement requirements, but only adopted the third batch of standards, which is also the latest standard of the F-22A.

In this way, the F-22J's control system is more similar to that of the F-35.

Piloting a fighter to take off is not a problem, most of the world's fighter jets have a similar take-off process, that is, turn on the afterburner, increase the taxiing speed to the minimum speed required for take-off in the shortest distance, pull up the longitudinal rod, let the front wheels off the ground, and then retract the landing gear after rising a certain distance.

After becoming an official member of K1, Liu Wei flew fighter jets, and it was the latest J-10 at that time.

Although K1 members are not required to be able to fly fighter jets in the same way as fighter pilots, they can at least fly fighter jets, and during training on the JL-9, the instructors also taught some basic combat tactics. As for the theory of air combat, I have learned a lot.

After following Maehara's long plane to cruising altitude, Liu Wei turned off the afterburner and let the F-22J fly at a cruising speed of Mach 1.4.

At this time, he discovered that the Air Force adopted a three-plane formation, that is, there were two wingmen at the same time.

In general, fighter jets usually use a two-plane formation, that is, the long aircraft and the wingman cooperate. Only when encountering a strong enemy will one wingman be added to improve the comprehensive combat capability of the formation.

Liu Wei had to believe that this set of tactics of the Air Force was aimed at the J-20 that was about to enter service.

These two fighters are really going to work, and they must be wonderful.

The F-22J and J-20 are both standard fourth-generation heavy air supremacy fighters, both with decent stealth capabilities, supersonic cruise capabilities, and super-maneuverable surnames. If neither side is able to spot the opponent outside the line of sight and shoots down the opponent with a missile, the air combat will enter the melee phase.

In this case, the advantages of the three-aircraft formation are very obvious.

It is necessary to note this point and let Lao Li remind the comrades of the Air Force not to underestimate the war ambitions of the little devils.

Soon, Liu Wei received a navigation message from an early warning aircraft in the air.

The information is sent by the tactical data link and is displayed directly on the navigation screen on the left, clearly indicating the route, speed and altitude, as well as the weather conditions on the route.

This, very similar to the F-22A, is that the F-22J does not emit radio signals if it is not necessary.

Only in this way can it be ensured that the F-22J will not be detected by the opposing side's electronic reconnaissance aircraft.

After inputting the navigation information into the autopilot, Liu Wei started the autopilot system according to Maehara's prompts, and there was no longer any need to control the longitudinal rod.

For Liu Wei, this is a great opportunity to familiarize himself with the F-22J.

With your hands free, you can fiddle with the control system on the fighter.

"Uesugi, what are you doing?"

Hearing Maehara's call, Liu Wei was startled.

"Turn off the radar, damn it, do you want to go to the outer islands and guard the radar station?"

Liu Wei hurriedly pressed the power switch of the radar, but this was enough for him to know how to run the radar and how to use the radar to lock on to the target.

What's more, judging from the irradiated target, that is, the information fed back from the former original landline, there is no foe identification device installed on this batch of F-22J!

Without a doubt, this is a very huge vulnerability.

Maybe the little devil wanted to do his own thing, and after the establishment of the National Defense Force, he no longer used the US military's friend or foe identification system to show the reading power of the military force. Only in this way will it be necessary to go back to the original and install the friend or foe detector, instead of installing such a very sensitive device in the United States.

It is important to know that the air force of any country does not share friend or foe identification signals with its allies.

On the battlefield, the friend or foe identifier is the identity mark.

According to the basic principle of "there are only eternal interests, no eternal allies", no identity symbol will be shared between even the most hardcore allies.

Britain and the United States are iron enough, but the British Royal Air Force's identification system of friend or foe is completely readable.

In the past, it was said that the military status of the book did not have the ability to read, and it could only share the identification system with the US military. Now that the Wehrmacht has been formed, it is natural to develop reading ability.

Regardless, this is crucial.

After knowing this, Liu Wei no longer fiddled with those switches.

The twelve fighters were divided into four formations, each twenty kilometers apart, forming a large diamond-shaped formation, while the fighters in the formation were five kilometers apart, forming an equilateral triangle.

Liu Wei's F-22J was on the far left side of the large formation, and the fire control radar could only lock on the front plain and the four fighters in the front formation.

After about thirty minutes of flight, the formation entered the sky over the Pacific Ocean.

After another fifteen minutes, Liu Wei began to act.

The first thing he did was not to activate the fire control radar, but to throw out four large drop fuel tanks under the wings on both sides.

"Uesugi, your fuel tank has dropped!" Kino, who was flying side by side, immediately noticed the anomaly.

Liu Wei smiled, turned off the communication system, and activated the fire control radar at the same time.

Five seconds later, the AN/AGP-79 locked on to four targets.

Although the fire control radar used on the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is much worse than the AN/AGP-77 standard on the F-22A, it is still very advanced and belongs to one of the most advanced active phased array radars in the world today, with complete air and ground attack guidance modes.

To install the AN/AGP-79 for the F-22J, first, the United States is unwilling to sell the AN/AGP-77, and second, it has put forward higher comprehensive combat requirements. After taking into account various factors, this radar on the F/A-18E/F was finally selected, which mainly focuses on ground attack guidance.

Attacking the target in front of you is really not much of a challenge.

The F-22J has the worst backward stealth ability, and besides, the farthest fighter is thirty kilometers away, and it is useless to have a good stealth surname.

After locking on to the target, Liu Wei immediately entered fire control data into the four AIM-120Ds.

The distance is too close to do so that there is no need for mid-course irradiation at all, except for the one fired at Frontahara, the other three missiles will fly fifteen to twenty kilometers under the control of the customary guidance system, and then activate the missile radar, search for targets, and launch attacks on their own.

As Liu Wei turned on the power supply for launching the missile, the F-22J belly bomb bay door took the initiative to open.

"Uesugi, are you crazy?" Kino screamed again.

Liu Wei ignored him and fired four missiles in turn.

The AIM-120D missile, which has a relative speed of up to Mach 4, only takes four seconds to fly 10,000 kilometers and 5 kilometers, and it only takes more than 20 seconds to fly 30 kilometers.

After launching the missile, Liu Wei connected the communication system. "Maehara-kun, let's skydive."

"Uesugi, what are you doing?"

"I don't have time, I want to jump if I want to live!"

After speaking, Liu Wei turned off the communication system.

The moment the missile hit the original plane in front of the front, Liu Wei saw the ejection seat flying out of the cockpit. Only a little later, the missile exploded about five meters above the tail of the fighter, spilling thousands of prefabricated fragments forged from tungsten alloy at a speed of two kilometers per second.

The explosion site was just over 10 meters away from the cockpit, and it is difficult to say whether Maehara would have survived.

Liu Wei didn't have time to pay attention to it so much, and pulled up the longitudinal rod while pushing down the throttle lever. The F-22J, propelled by two F-119 engines with a thrust of 168 kN each, roared through the blue sky.

The Yankees were quite kind, did not seriously shrink the engine, and used the second batch of F-119s.

As if he had expected something, Ji Ye did not hesitate, and immediately pulled up the fighter, ready to bite Liu Wei.

There was nothing to worry about, because the little devil's pilot would soon find out that the problem was much more serious than he thought.
