Chapter 597: YJ-83's First Actual Combat
"Huh? Two air targets disappeared, and a distress signal from one of them was intercepted. Wang Jiu reported in surprise.
Mr. Li quickly checked the tactical display screen, and the two air targets searched by the air alert radar had indeed disappeared, and he calmly judged, "Maybe the naval fighter is coming." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the satellite phone in his hand rang, and after it was connected, a familiar voice came: "Mr. Li, I'm back, and there are eight heavy fighters carrying twenty or thirty tons of sea-to-sea ammunition behind me, and the next thing will be handed over to us, you have worked hard!" ”
"Oh? The action is pretty fast. It came in time, and in addition, to report the situation, the Great Wall is back to normal. Mr. Li said with a smile and nodded slightly to Wang Jiu.
Li Zhan smiled, "Thank you!" I see a small air target, is it a drone you released? ”
"Yes." Mr. Li was very surprised that his air alert search radar had not yet seen Li Zhan, but Li Zhan could see his drone, which showed that the radar performance of the fighter piloted by Li Zhan was quite advanced.
Li Zhan said, "You can broadcast live, I have to hang up." ”
In the cockpit of No. 533 J-15, Li Zhan held the joystick in one hand and the satellite phone in the other, said goodbye to Mr. Li with a smile, fixed the satellite phone on the bag on his right thigh, and climbed up quickly into the attack route.
He carefully discerned the surface targets captured by the radar, trying to find the flagship of the main fleet of Western Pacific pirates. He ended up choosing the ship with the second largest tonnage, believing it to be the flagship. In general, the largest tonnage in the absence of aircraft carriers is the logistics supply ship.
He energized two YJ-83 anti-ship missiles, fed target information into the seeker, and the on-board radar locked on the two ships with the second and third largest tonnage.
Forty kilometers away, he decided to get closer.
This is the first time he has used an anti-ship missile for shooting, so he hopes to hit a grand slam.
The main fleet of the Western Pacific Pirates is really not able to resist in the face of heavy fighters with a large number of anti-ship ammunition that are enough to deal with the aircraft carrier battle group. Their only anti-aircraft weapons were small-caliber naval guns, and there were no ship-borne anti-aircraft missiles at all. Even if the anti-aircraft warning radar saw the air target coming at high speed, they could only do it in a hurry.
Li Zhan repeatedly confirmed the preparations for the launch three times, and silently said in his heart: "Eagle Strike Eighty-three, don't let me down!" ”
"Two rounds of bullet one!"
The fighter plane was suddenly lighter, the first YJ-83 was thrown off the pylon, and naturally fell forward under the speed given by the fighter, and about three seconds later, the engine in the tail of the missile body ignited, and the missile suddenly accelerated and shot forward!
Then came the second one.
The two YJ-83s accelerated forward one after the other, and soon surpassed Mach 1.
Attacking a target with almost no air defense capability with such an air-launched anti-ship missile with a range of more than six meters and a range of 250 kilometers is simply a knife to kill a chicken. YJ-83 is the mainstream anti-ship missile of the Chinese Navy, has developed into a family, including submarine-launched, air-launched, in the final attack stage can carry out a sea-skimming supersonic flight of 20 meters, although only Mach 1.2, but its characteristics of receiving guidance data at any time are very difficult to prevent.
At a distance of more than 30 kilometers, under the program set by Li Zhan, the two YJ-83 anti-ship missiles began to dive down in altitude after almost half a minute of accelerated flight, and the speed exceeded the speed of sound at this time. Then they began to fly across the sea, flying to a 6,000-ton pirate ship and a 4,000-ton pirate ship.
After completing the launch of the YJ-83, Li Zhan immediately locked on to the second batch of targets, this time he was going to attack the other two Corsair ships with KH-59MK air-to-surface missiles capable of hitting both ground and surface targets.
At this time, the voyeur suddenly called Li Zhan, his tone was a little embarrassed, "That, bomb truck, I suggest that you first confirm the damage effect of the target before carrying out the second wave of attacks, over." ”
"There's no need, it's completely a knife to kill the chicken. Complete. Li Zhan said subconsciously.
The voyeur said, "You're from HNA, you know what that means, right?" Complete. ”
After being stunned for a moment, Li Zhan understood, and immediately smiled, "My radar has searched for more than two dozen surface targets, and you should be able to see them over there." I promise to leave half of the targets for the fire detachment. Complete. ”
The commander and assistant commander on the voyeur looked at each other, and the commander had to say again, "Of course, we don't doubt that you have the ability to eat half of the target, the problem is that you only leave half of the fire detachment, they have eight fighters for the sea strike mission, and the fire commander told me that they don't want to return home with bombs." Complete. ”
Li Zhan had to think about it seriously, in this case, he would have to leave at least sixteen targets, but he couldn't help but give face to the Air Force, besides, he was still a member of the Air Force talent pool.
"Okay, I see, at least sixteen targets left, you tell them to hurry, I might be over the fight in a few minutes. Complete. Li Zhan agreed.
The voyeur's commander immediately said, "Understood, I ordered them to hurry to the battlefield, over!" Thank you, bomb truck. ”
Li Zhan was not in a hurry, he directly accelerated to close the distance to the visual distance, and flew in a circled flight about ten kilometers away from the main fleet of the Western Pacific Pirates. The two main ships had already caught fire, one of them had been broken off the middle of the hull, the latter half had sunk, and the first half was struggling to float.
Just as he ended his conversation with the voyeur, the two YJ-83s hit their respective targets, and the 6,000-ton pirate ship was hit at the waterline in the second half, and the huge explosion created a huge hole, and a large amount of seawater poured into the ship in just two minutes.
The other ship of more than 4,000 tons was even worse, it was directly cut off at the waist, and the huge explosion caused serious casualties, many pirates were directly killed, and those who fell into the water were also hit by half of the fragments of the Heavenly Maiden's scattered flowers, or injured or killed, and the fuel leaked was ignited, instantly forming a sea of fire, and many pirates suddenly became a barbecue in the sea of fire. (Initial launch, domain name (remember _ three.)
The surrounding pirate ships frantically approached to the rescue.
So Li Zhan didn't plan to attack them, but instead targeted several armed escort pirate ships on the periphery that were constantly firing anti-aircraft shells at him. It was six armed pirate ships of seven or eight hundred tons of the same model, but the firepower was really not to be underestimated, equipped with more than a dozen small and medium-caliber guns, although they were all manually operated artillery, but under the operation of experienced gunners, the threat to fighters at close range was very great.
Li Zhan did not want the air force brethren of the firepower detachment to encounter any threat, they were novices for the first time, and Li Zhan hoped to create a relatively peaceful live-fire target environment for them, to be precise, a low-threat battlefield environment. Like a parent worrying about their children's college entrance examination, he can't help but think about what should be done to make the "children" have a better environment.
The brothers of the fire detachment have eight fighters, each of which is equipped with a KH-59MT air-to-surface missile, because the J-11B solves the congenital problems of the Flanker fighter, so the two pylons in the belly of the fuselage are heavy-duty pylons, so there is no counterweight problem.
A large part of the KN-30MT air-to-surface missiles introduced with the Su-59MKK are approaching their lifespan, so all the KN-59MT air-to-surface missiles carried by the firepower detachment in this mission also have the consideration of clearing the stockpile.
So they need Li Zhan to use the indicator pod for guidance, and the J-11B also uses a domestic avionics system, so there is no way to directly use Russian-made ammunition. In addition, if there is no target guidance in the air, it will be difficult for the KN-59MT air-to-surface missile to hit surface targets.
After the KN-59MT air-to-surface missiles were fired, the fire detachment had to reach a distance of seven or eight kilometers and use 90 mm caliber aviation rockets to attack the target, so the six armed Corsair ships equipped with more than 10 small and medium-caliber guns were a very big threat.
Because there was no data link, Li Zhan didn't know the real-time location of the fire team, so he could only ask the AWACS aircraft: "Voyeur, how long will it take for the fire team to arrive on the battlefield?" Complete. ”
"Five minutes! The covering detachment has arrived and is providing air cover at high altitudes. Complete. Said the commander of the voyeur.
Li Zhan thought for a moment and said, "Understood, I found six armed pirate ships equipped with more than a dozen small and medium-caliber guns, they can pose a threat to the fighters shooting in the air, I'll deal with them first." Complete! ”
The Voyeur Maniac Commander said, "Bomb truck be safe, over!" ”
"Understood, done!"
Li Zhan decided to leave the KN-59MT air-to-surface missiles behind for the time being, and attack the armed pirate ships of several hundred tons with aerial fire. It is really a waste to use expensive air-to-surface missiles to hit such small targets, and the landlord's family has no food left, and now the troops are not even equipped with many domestically produced YJ-83 anti-ship missiles.
He quickly widened the distance, chose the outermost armed pirate ship on the southeast side of the main fleet of the West Pacific Pirates, and swooped the head of the lever towards it, then took the throttle to the slow position, pressed the aiming ring on the target and did not rush to shoot, but continued to close the distance.
10 km, 9 km, 8 km, 7 km......
The target's armed pirate ship began to flash frequently, and it was small and medium-caliber artillery firing. This distance is basically inaccurate, Li Zhan is not worried, and still closes the distance steadily. The effective range of the 90-millimeter aerial fire reached 9 kilometers, but in order to ensure that every shot hit the target, Li Zhan had to fire at a distance of at least 6 kilometers, which was the largest distance he had ever successfully experienced.
Whether it is an anti-ship missile or an air-to-ground missile, this world is, in the final analysis, an aviation fire.
When those flying flames that are dragging the tail flame straight towards you appear, you should know that the other party has sacrificed an ancestral stunt, and you should realize that you have made the other party very angry, and the consequences are quite serious.
