J-10A uses the original AL-31F engine, while J-11B has used domestic Taihang, there are some gaps in performance, but for J-10A, AL-31F is enough.

It only skied more than 400 meters before the J-10A twin aircraft formation left the ground, which shows that the aerodynamic layout of this fighter is very good. It is said that in completing the Super Cobra maneuver, the J-10 is more calm than the J-11. It is said that at first, the J-11 was pressed to the ground by the J-10 and rubbed against ......

After the avionics system has been greatly improved, the J-11, that is, the B type, the situation has changed after this aircraft comes out, but it is said that the situation is still not very optimistic about the J-10.

The J-10 was developed for the F-16, and it can even be said that "developing a fighter comparable to the F-16" was the goal at that time. After a simple conversion, the results are more obvious.

However, as Li Zhan insisted, the technical level of the pilots is fully capable of making up for the technical gap in equipment. This is also one of the magic weapons of the squadron to win all wars for decades. The squadron is the best army at learning, and there is probably no doubt about this in the world.

After takeoff, Li Zhan turned due west, that is, in a 270-degree direction. At an altitude of more than 6,000 meters, the morning sun in the east is very eye-catching, and flying west can avoid direct sunlight to get the best view.

The training airspace is 300 kilometers northwest of the station, which is also a national nature reserve, further north above the headwaters of the three rivers, and northeast by the Tanggula Mountains. Li Zhan and the others have a very large airspace for confrontation, as long as the altitude does not exceed 8,000 meters, because the airspace above 8,000 meters has multiple civil aviation routes.

The two sides go straight into a dogfight.

Two two-plane formations rushed into the training airspace from two directions, and the posture opened and began a dragon battle.

Generally speaking, when fighting in a two-plane formation, the chief aircraft is responsible for attacking, and the wingman is responsible for covering and luring the enemy. But now it's a highly targeted dogfight, so they fight separately.

Li Zhan faced the Han Red Army.

Comrade Xiao Han is under a lot of pressure, others don't know the level of the captain, and the people in their Eagle Falcon Brigade are clear, but the captain is a person who can beat the brother troops using the third-generation aircraft all over the ground to find teeth, and the pressure on the captain one-on-one is not great, which is called a strange thing.

The greater the pressure, the greater the motivation, if you can win the captain of the country with one and a half moves, you can blow at least a few years of awesome after you go back.

So he was a ruthless move as soon as he came up!

With the J-11B's better acceleration, it took the lead in making a ninety-degree turn.

Whoever completes the ninety-degree turn first gets the chance to fire first, which is almost the golden rule in aerial combat. This ability is closely related to the fighter's instantaneous disk ability, so the instantaneous hovering ability is regarded as an important performance indicator of the fighter. In the end, it's all about the nose pointing ability.

Li Zhan and Han Hongjun were relatively close to each other, with the nose facing the nose of the plane, and the pilots would hardly choose to attack head-on in close combat, because the hit rate of ordinary combat missiles in a head-on attack was extremely low, and it was not until later that advanced combat missiles that met the requirements were included in the troops.

Other combat attack methods, such as over-the-shoulder shooting and rear-view launching, which look very trendy and very sturdy, are relatively limited in research around the world because there is no support from actual combat examples, and this part has been doing theoretical research work. In the final analysis, it needs to be supported by weapons and equipment that meet operational requirements.

So at this time, whether it is Li Zhan or Han Hongjun, they must occupy the attack position by turning and maneuvering, simply put, they must bite their tails.

Close combat can be summed up as nothing more than a few main actions, tail biting, radius cutting, climbing, and using terrain to take advantage of the sun's blind spots, but it is not easy to put enemy aircraft in your front hemisphere (which is also the range of attack) during the implementation process, unless you encounter opponents such as the Indian Air Force and the South Korean Air Force.

The horizontal maneuverability of the J-11B is not weak, and what it brings is the rapid pointing of the nose.

As an aside, the new form of attack of helmet-aimed attacks has gained popularity because it has made it possible for pilots to theoretically ignore the nose-pointing ability to launch missiles wherever their eyes look. Freed from the influence of the nose pointing ability, it can be said that the helmet-aiming attack method redefines the mode of close-range air combat.

However, the J-11B met the J-10A, which had better nose pointing capabilities.

Li Zhan did not choose to make a reverse turn.

At this time, the Korean Red Army was turning to the southwest, and was drawing an arc track from the northwest to the northeast, and if Li Zhan kept the course still, he would fly into the attack range of the Korean Red Army, and he would expose his flanks. At this time, Li Zhan should turn horizontally in the opposite direction to the Korean Red Army, that is, maintain a counterclockwise turn with the Korean Red Army, so as to ensure that he will not enter the attack range of the Korean Red Army.

The other is that Han Hongjun started to turn before him, which means that Han Hongjun may have already launched the first round of attacks when Li Zhan completed the turn.

Therefore, Li Zhan did not follow the convention, but chose to cut the radius, and pointed the nose of the plane in front of Han Hongjun's track in a very short time - that is to say, Li Zhan in turn aimed the nose at the left side of Han Hongjun.

The J-10A uses a canard aerodynamic layout, which is a pair of ducks more than the pure delta-wing aircraft such as the Mirage-2000 from the outside, and this aerodynamic layout is by far the most conducive to grappling combat. The shortcomings of the canard aerodynamic layout are extremely difficult to maneuver, so the early aircraft usually use the conventional aerodynamic layout, and later with the blessing of the advanced flight control system, the difficulty of maneuvering is greatly reduced, which brings out the power of the canard aerodynamic layout.

In terms of visual distance, Han Hongjun was shocked when he saw Li Zhan using the rapid roll and cutting radius to press in front of his track. Like Li Zixin, he has never touched the J-10, but they have fought with the J-10, but they have not encountered the current situation.

The plane is still the plane, the key is the person who flies the plane.

What does it mean to be pressed down by an opponent's nose in front of the track?

It means that the opponent can already enter the cannon firing process, just like a rifle hitting a moving target, the aiming point presses the front of the moving target's moving route, and then calculates the advance amount to determine the impact point of the bullet to fire.

Of course, Han Hongjun was not in vain, he decisively stopped the turn, and simply opened the afterburner and climbed at a large elevation angle with full throttle. Quickly gaining more altitude than the opponent is undoubtedly the right choice, Li Zhan has always taught them that "altitude and speed are supreme in air combat", altitude is everything, and with altitude, you can get more speed and more energy.

However, Han Hongjun's choice at this time was at risk of being bitten by Li Zhan, but Li Zhan needed to climb at a super elevation angle of 130 degrees to form a tail bite, and the attitude of the fighter was to tilt 35 degrees to the left. Big elevation angles, big lean angles, and there will definitely be a big side slip.

Each one is a very difficult maneuver, and all of them are the least favorite maneuvers of the engine.
