Chapter 372 - Volleying high-altitude and high-speed targets

No. 01 J-11B was on standby at an altitude of 10,000 meters, guarding the north gate of the motherland like a god.

The second shooting subject is to intercept high-altitude and high-speed targets, and the training is that if a high-altitude and high-speed target intrudes into our territorial airspace, our combat-ready fighter planes will urgently take off to intercept and intercept them.

The requirement for this subject is a visual attack by a ground-guided pilot, so the use of short-range aerial bombs is appropriate. The course also requires pilots to use aerial guns to shoot down high-altitude and high-speed targets. There have been a lot of aerial artillery fires, but this is the first time that missiles have been used to intercept high-altitude and high-speed targets.

The remaining four fighters of the air target squad stayed in the original airspace to continue to carry out live-fire training tasks, and they hit standard unmanned aerial vehicle targets, which cost tens of thousands of yuan per unmanned target plane, and it was initially estimated that the pilot's press of the launch button would be equivalent to burning hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Since I have to be valued by the air division, I can't explain why I spent so much money without making a difference.

Li Zhan glanced at the oil gauge, and now there is still enough margin to fly more than 1,000 kilometers when taking off with half fuel. The advantage of driving the J-11 lies in this, there is no need to worry about the problem of aviation fuel margin. If the distance exceeds a thousand kilometers, the J-10 will have to hang auxiliary fuel tanks.

After he climbed smoothly to 12,000 kilometers as planned, the order from the tower arrived.

"Dongyi, the target course is sixty, the height is thirteen, the speed is one thousand five, the distance is thirty, repeat, it is a high-altitude and high-speed target, you have to shoot it down before the target flies over the Beiku Mountains, over." Fang Chenghe's tone was very serious.

Li Zhan replied, "The target course is sixty, the altitude is thirteen, the speed is one thousand fifteen, and the distance is thirty. ”

He turned on the afterburner to accelerate and run northward, while climbing to an altitude of 14,000 meters and turning on the on-board radar to search. This time, however, it went unusually well, and a target with very obvious radar signature characteristics appeared about 25 kilometers away, and the bright and large signal signatures were about to catch up with the civil airliner.

However, Li Zhan was unable to distinguish what kind of aircraft it was through the characteristics of the radar signal, and it was a target aircraft model that had never been in contact with it.

"No, it's only a speed of more than 600 kilometers per hour, and it can't be a high-speed target machine moving so slowly. Oh, I see, that's the carrier of a high-speed target aircraft, it's the H-6, and only the H-6 can climb to this height with a high-speed target plane for ejection......"

Li Zhan quickly figured out the current situation.

Sure enough, after closing the distance, the radar searched for a much smaller target, and the moving speed was consistent with the data reported by the ground tower.

Cut a small radius turn to the left and enter from the right flank of a high-speed target aircraft. When Li Zhan approached at high speed enough to be able to see the appearance of the high-speed target plane clearly, he almost didn't bite his tongue. It was actually an unmanned high-speed target aircraft converted from a J-6 non-Plas fighter. The cockpit is sealed, the wind resistance is smaller, and other unnecessary equipment parts must have been removed, such as the landing gear, otherwise it would not have been possible to fly to this speed of 1,500 kilometers per hour.

It seems that a large number of J-6s are mothballed after retirement, and it is not for nothing that they are used as unmanned target aircraft.

Confirming that the carrier aircraft H-6 had dropped its altitude and was out of the threat range, Li Zhan increased the throttle to pursue the J-6 non-Plass high-speed target aircraft, until he saw the number "RP-141" on the vertical tail clearly, and he began to shout the simulated interception and expulsion procedure: "RP-141, I am the Chinese Air Force, you are about to enter my airspace, leave immediately!" Leave now! ”

“RP-141,veimmediately! Leaveimmediately!”

The English accent of Guangdong Province was mixed with the slight squeak of radio interference, which was full of warlike flavor, and the resolute, forceful, and implicit deterrent tone revealed the determination of the Chinese Air Force pilots to resolutely safeguard the territorial integrity of the motherland.

Li Zhan pulled the airspeed to 1,500 kilometers, the same as that of the high-speed target plane, flew flat on the right side of the high-speed target plane, turned his head to stare at the unmanned high-speed target plane, and regarded it as an invading enemy plane, shouting three times in succession, only waiting for three seconds in between.

"Tower, I'm going in to attack the program, it's over."

Li Zhan reported that while slowing down slightly, he gently raised the nose of the aircraft some height, and the on-board radar switched to fire control mode to lock on to the high-speed target aircraft, and then energized the missile. This process has a certain buffer, as required, waiting for the command of the tower to allow firing.

"Ready to shoot in the cave, done!" Li Zhan reported.

There is absolutely no problem this time, the infrared signature of the J-6 high-speed target aircraft is too obvious, and the PL-5C can definitely accurately find the location of the engine nozzle and chase it over.

Almost thirty seconds later, the tower gave the order to attack according to standard procedure.

Li Zhan launched the PL-5C, which he couldn't wait. This PL-5C was much happier, after breaking away from the carrier aircraft and falling down for more than ten meters, the engine ignited and quickly rushed towards the target several kilometers away, and the seeker detected the obvious thermal energy characteristics at the engine nozzle of the high-speed target aircraft in a very short time, and immediately rushed forward like chicken blood.

In an instant, the J-6 high-speed target plane was hit with a volley and exploded, turning into a fireball in front of Li Zhan and falling down by inertia.

Li Zhan followed the depreage of the high-speed target plane and fell into the uninhabited wasteland, and immediately shared it with the ground after confirming the location of the fall, and the ground sent a recovery team to the place where the target plane fell for recovery and processing.

After descending to the altitude, Li Zhan did not come up again, but flew quickly westward at a low altitude of 300 meters. Below is the edge of the boreal forest, and to the west is the boreal wasteland, where most of the area freezes in the winter, and the natural environment is very harsh. This area is numbered 13th in the 101st Brigade's training area.

The local meteorological department reported that there was an ice field on the west side of the No. 13 area that had not melted, blocking the headwaters of the Beiku Jiji River, resulting in much less water in the Jiji River than in previous years. After coordination, the 101st Brigade decided to set up one of the target areas at the source of the ice, and to use aerial rockets and ordinary aerial bombs to blow up the huge ice block.

The irregular ice block is about seven stories high and more than 100 meters long, and it just happens to block the joint point where the source of the living water flows to the riverbed, causing the living water to disperse to both sides and detour down, losing a lot of water for no reason. According to the local report, this piece of ice has not existed for a short time, and it has accumulated over time to become the scale it is now.

The air defense base coordinated the use of helicopters by helicopters to set up target detachments and geological survey personnel to set up targets that had taken a lot of effort in the past, first using precision-guided munitions to accurately shoot at key points, and then using ordinary aerial bombs and aerial fire to carry out surface bombing. In this way, it can meet the requirements of the troops to increase the difficulty of live-fire training, and can also help the local government to remove this stubborn ice at one time, bringing more water to the people in the middle and lower reaches, which is very important for the Beiku area, where the annual precipitation is not much, especially for the people living around the Beiku Mountains.

When Li Zhan flew in, he saw a small half of the collapsed ice, obviously the second brigade had already bombarded indiscriminately before, and it seemed that the effect was very good.
