Chapter 090: Three Seconds
At this time, any reconnaissance pods are useless, and they can only rely on visual vision to find weak points in the mountain. Visibility is still not ideal, and the mountains on the north and south sides are slightly darker shadows.
Li Zhan descended to a higher altitude, almost flying close to the surface of the lake. Fortunately, Lake No. 1 was originally large enough, but because of the excessive amount of water that spread to the surrounding area, the area was even larger. This gave Li Zhan some more time to observe the mountain on the north side.
It is impossible to hover over the lake, and it is absolutely impossible to achieve it with the turning radius of the J-8FR, even if a wing knife is added to improve the hovering ability. I'm afraid that the J-10 with a canard wing aerodynamic layout will also be difficult to achieve. Perhaps a fighter equipped with a vector engine can maneuver around the lake with a very small turning radius.
In this case, Li Zhan had to repeatedly sweep over the lake at a low altitude, seizing the few seconds of the lake-skimming flight to find the weak point of the mountain on the north side. The reason why Zhang Wei said that such a task is best performed by the SU-27 is precisely because the SU-27 has a smaller minimum speed and is more relaxed to operate.
Why did Li Zhan get the highest score in the whole division when he opened the J-7E ground target before, and was admired by the officers and soldiers of the whole division, including the aces of the Sixth Regiment who opened the nostrils of the SU-27. It is precisely because the dive speed of the J-7E is too fast that the time left for the pilot to aim at the ground target to shoot the cannon or rocket is extremely short, and if the minimum speed exceeds the flight envelope, it will stall. Objectively, the pilot is required to aim-fire this process to be completed in a much shorter time.
As for the SU-27, because it has a very good minimum speed, during the dive, their pilots can very calmly aim at ground targets, then shoot very calmly, and then get up very calmly.
Li Zhan was able to pull the plane up after completing the shooting and then taking a look at the shooting effect, what kind of concept is this? His aiming-firing time was extremely short, and he was extremely skilled in maneuvering the fighter. This is hard kung fu real kung fu, you can't admire it.
From east to west and then from west to east, Li Zhan repeatedly skimmed the lake and flew. On this low-altitude flyover route, a very abrupt mountain peak forms an obstacle to the west. Therefore, every time Li Zhan flew from east to west, he had to turn immediately after flying over the lake, otherwise he would hit the mountain, and it would be too late to pull up and climb.
Carefully flying back and forth for three times, Li Zhan found an approximate location, but the visibility was limited, and he was not sure that position was the best point of attack.
Had to turn to the tower for help.
Li Zhan called, "Tower, when will the window appear?" I've probably found a spot, but I need to confirm, when will visibility improve? ”
As he spoke, he looked at the oil gauge.
Take-off with full fuel, at this time there is half less fuel, the pressure is not very large, but the key is not to know when the critical ten minutes will appear.
"A few minutes, pay attention to the west, the clouds will move eastward, the light will come from the west first, you can grasp the angle yourself." Fang Chenghe got the accurate data given by the meteorological department.
can be accurate to the minute, Li Fengxiang and others have come up with the highest level.
Li Zhan turned around and turned the nose to the west, looked up, and sure enough, he saw the tail of the clouds, probably the position of the top of the mountain in the distance began to crack, and a faint sunlight came in. He did not hesitate, and once again swept from east to west, and then turned around on the west side.
At this time, more sunlight was projected from the west, and a clear dividing line between light and darkness moved rapidly eastward on the surface with the movement of the clouds, and finally crossed Lake No. 1.
Li Zhan also passed the lake again from west to east, and in a few seconds, he looked down to the right, and clearly saw that the lowest part of the mountain on the south side was the weakest point. He immediately noted down the terrain features, decisively pulled the plane up, and after going up to some height, he turned on the laser pod and used the laser to irradiate the determined direction.
After knowing this, Li Zhan called the tower, "Tower, I am ready to attack, first use the No. 3 ammunition, and then use the No. 4 ammunition according to the situation." ”
Ammunition No. 3 is the code name for precision munitions, which require the use of laser pods to irradiate and guide the target in order to achieve the most accurate attack.
Fang Chenghe asked, "How are you going to attack?" ”
This question is not asked casually.
The speed of the J-8FR is comparatively larger, and the dive speed is greater. Continuously irradiating the point of attack means that the fighter must be farther and taller, otherwise the precision ammunition will have to be pulled up before it hits the target. However, if the fighter is too far and too high, the error will be greater.
This seems to be a difficult problem to solve.
If you are using satellite-guided precision munitions, this problem will not exist, the pilot only needs to obtain the target bearing data, enter the data into the seeker of the munition, power it up, launch it, and then fly home. This is the lower level of fire-and-forget ammunition. Others that can run after maneuvering targets are more advanced.
Li Zhan was silent for a long time.
In everyone's memory, he never had such a situation.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhan asked, "Tower, is there a second chance to take off before dark, if I can complete the attack and return within fifteen minutes." ”
Fang Chenghe was stunned for a moment, quickly looked at the time, and at fifteen o'clock forty-seven, he looked at Li Fengxiang again, Li Fengxiang was nervously analyzing, and said in a deep voice, "According to the current trend, there should be a second chance." ”
Things are changing all the time, maybe there is, maybe not, maybe better, maybe worse.
Immortals may not be able to guarantee that everything will be completed 100% of the time.
"I can't give you an accurate answer right now, but you know the situation best, it's up to you to decide." Fang Chenghe made a very correct decision at this moment, he did not blindly order, but left it to Li Zhan to make his own decisions.
Li Zhan said in a deep voice, "Tower, I understand, please ensure that you are ready." ”
"Roger."
There is no need for Fang Chenghe to give a special explanation, Yu Chenglin, who served as his deputy, has already picked up the phone and issued an order to Lou Yiwang's maintenance support team, and all personnel and all positions have entered the highest standby state.
Over Lake No. 1, Li Zhan took a deep breath, no longer hesitated, and he pulled up the height of the fighter. Starting to dive at an infinitely dangerous distance and height, leaving only three seconds for himself to pull up and disengage, this is Li Zhan's choice, and it is also the only way to ensure the best accuracy at present.
How long is three seconds?
Tick, tick, tick.
