Chapter 579: The Mad Dogs of the South China Sea Are Coming!
On the same night, in the residence of the US Navy team.
Wingman Michelle was in Richard's room and said with a strange expression, "I just had a phone call with a friend aboard the Roosevelt." ”
"Oh? Did you make it clear? Who is it? Richard sat up straight.
They represented the U.S. Navy in the competition, and they were the main players, and they also went directly to the finals in the afternoon. No way, the combination of Richard and Michelle is too strong, and they are the best among the American Navy pilots who are full of masters.
Michelle struggled to utter a name: "Mad Dog of the South Seas." ”
"Are you sure?" Richard's heart shook suddenly, and all those unbearable memories came out like a flood at all.
"Surely, the analysis results of Shirley's system show that the sound is 95% consistent, and it must be a mad dog in the South China Sea." The corners of Michelle's mouth twitched, he didn't have a huge psychological shadow.
If they are humble gentlemen, the mad dog of the South China Sea is a reckless man with a forty-meter long knife in his hand; If they are thieves who like to steal chickens and dogs, the South Sea Mad Dogs are super cops who like to use machine guns against thieves; If they are the world's policemen, then the mad dogs of the South Seas are the thin steel wires around their necks......
He ...... He ......"
"No, tell me it's not true......"
"How could he ......"
"Yes, that's him, and it can only be him, the USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier battle group is not wronged."
……
The two of you, one by one, and I said a little nervously.
Then there was a long silence. Their reaction is definitely not exaggerated. Regardless of the super flying skills shown by the mad dogs of the South China Sea in so many non-contact encounters in the past, the accident of the Sea Hawk anti-submarine helicopter that crashed into the sea alone was enough to make them feel frightened, although there was no clear conclusion, but it was a fact that the sea area was calm at that time, how could the Sea Hawk anti-submarine helicopter fall into the sea because of a strong crosswind?
Such a daring and highly skilled pilot is a nightmare in the hearts of each of them.
For a while, Richard comforted himself: "Maybe you won't necessarily run into him, you must know that the final is divided into several groups to fight against each other." ”
"Toss a coin to choose, if you're lucky, you won't meet him." "But to get to the final hurdle is definitely to play him, you don't think he won't be able to play the last hurdle, right?" ”
Richard then remembered his hometown of Texas, why didn't he take advantage of the "psychological trauma during the service" to retire early and return to his hometown to live the life of the farmer's son, why did he continue to be afraid in this dire environment?
"Michelle, I miss my hometown Texas roast chicken." Richard said with a sigh.
Michelle smiled wryly and shook her head, "I want to go home too, Lucy has found a new job, and I'm worried because the boss has taken a fancy to her beauty." ”
"Uh......" Richard couldn't be comforted.
Michelle cheered up and said, "It's a knife to stick out and a knife to shrink your head, let's fight, I'll submit a retirement application after this time, I have a good friend who is a United Airlines executive, and through her I may be able to get a job flying airliners." We can go together if you want. ”
"Okay, I'll think about it." Richard said gratefully.
The employment situation in China is grim, and pilots are not looking for jobs.
None of them realized that the reason for these consequences was because of the South China Sea Mad Dog, or that they had already thought that the South China Sea Mad Dog had seriously affected their normal work and life. You must know that flying an airplane in the US Navy is a very decent and well-paid job, which is much better than flying a civil aviation.
Who would want to give up such a good job unless they had to? Bitter also!
……
At the same time, Indian Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Sanjay is also discussing the tactics of tomorrow's confrontation with his colleagues. Sanjay is in his thirties, has carried out many combat missions, has a lot of combat experience, and now serves as a squadron leader of the ace squadron, a rising star of the Air Force pilot.
The Indian Air Force is modeled on Britain and the United States, and its flight squadron is equivalent to a flight group of our army, with more than a dozen fighters under its command, and its strength is very strong, and it is a basic tactical unit capable of independently carrying out combat missions. The establishment of the Indian army is not backward, they were originally British colonies, and many mechanisms follow the British, while the British army and the American army wear a pair of pants, plus they have fought with Tie-Pakistan a few times, and the troops have some combat experience, especially the air force.
(Strategically defying the enemy, tactically valuing it.) )
The flying unit Sanjay and his wingman are one of the golden combinations, and there are high hopes for them to be sent to the competition, so they are bent on the heaviest victory. They think you can't beat them.
Sanjay saw from the TV news what happened yesterday in the Mediterranean, and said to his wingman Rakiput with a smile, "It turns out that the quality of the US military is really questionable, it is true that they have had many war experiences, but the quality of the troops has declined very much in recent years." ”
"Yes, the failure of the landing system can actually lead to the destruction of eight fighters, which shows that there are many problems with the damage management on the Roosevelt. And at that time, if the pilots had increased their thrust and returned to flight, this disaster could have been completely avoided. Rakiput said.
It was able to ignore the bloody fact that the tail hook had hooked the blocking cable.
"I am confident of the heaviest victory tomorrow, and the only thing that should be taken seriously is the Russian pilots, they are very good," Sanjay said. ”
"Yes."
They didn't pay attention to the Chinese pilots at all, because of the news blockade, the news report of the Mediterranean morning air crash was incomplete, and they had no way of knowing the whole truth. If they knew the whole truth, they would have jumped into the lake in fear and would have frozen to death in sub-zero temperatures.
……
Almost all the teams focused on the finals in the afternoon, and the two-on-two confrontation in the morning was more of a competition to familiarize themselves with each other's tactics, which was equivalent to a warm-up game. Except for Li Zhan, all the pilots participated in the morning two-on-two competition. In view of the large number of pilots and fighters participating in the competition, the competition began when it was dark and lasted until three poles in the morning.
Fighter planes roared over the 113 airbase all morning. Rafale in France, Typhoon in four European countries, Gripen in Sweden in Northern Europe, Flanker in Russia, Flanker and Mirage-2000 in India, Flanker in Vietnam, F-15J and F-2 in Japan, F-15K in South Korea.
The United States dispatched the most fighters: F-22A, F-15D, F-16 Brock 52, F/A-18E/F, all of which are the main fighters of the U.S. Air Force and Navy. Russia originally wanted to dispatch the Su-57, but the test flight progress could not keep up, so it had to send the Super Flanker Su-35.
These dozens of warplanes have become the world's main fighter planes, and the strike capability of this air force can destroy the air power of any European country. This has brought extremely complicated logistical support requirements, why did the French suspend the daily training of the 113 air base and even temporarily move out the combat readiness mission, otherwise there would be no way to provide ground support for dozens of main fighters of more than a dozen models of global air power.
From another point of view, France's ability to coordinate and organize ground support work also reflects its logistical support capabilities, which is not something that any country can do. At least Britain can't do it, their defense industry is declining too much.
In the warm-up confrontation in the morning, all the models flew up and flew around, and Li Zhan hid in the dark to observe, most of his attention was on the F-22A. After the appearance of this fighter, no Typhoon Gripen could enter his eyes. He memorized every maneuver of the fighter deeply, and when he went back, he found time to go to Chengloma to find his senior brother and compare it with his own fourth-generation aircraft.
In the foreseeable future, fourth-generation aircraft will join the Air Force in a relatively stable number and gradually become the pillar air superiority fighter that wins the air space. Why do you say that, because according to Cheng Luoma's usual caution, they must be 100% sure that the fighters have fully reached the mass production standards before they will start to deliver them to the troops at normal production. The J-10 is a clear proof that it took eight years from the first flight to the delivery, which shows that Cheng Loma would rather spend time on ensuring quality than the second improvement after the troops came back. Shen Huoyi did not do very well in this regard.
The protagonist of future air combat will be the fourth-generation aircraft, and the third-generation opportunity will gradually move towards multi-purpose based on ground-to-sea strikes. If a large-scale war breaks out, then when the fourth-generation exchanges are exhausted, a large number of third-generation aircraft will become the main force in the struggle for air supremacy. This is a different war plan in different environments, and once a large-scale war becomes a war of attrition, the arsenal will devote most of its production capacity to producing high-quality and inexpensive weapons and equipment. Therefore, for the aviation troops, it is indispensable to have a third-generation aircraft that is more cost-effective and easier to produce and whose production capacity can be rapidly expanded.
Watching the F-22A shoot down the opponent with ease, Li Zhan couldn't help but feel a little troubled in his heart, and for the first time doubted whether it was the right choice to transfer to HNA. If he stays in the Air Force, judging from his actual situation, flying a fourth-generation aircraft will not be far away, and no matter how bad it is, he can still find an opportunity to conduct a fourth-generation aircraft test flight with his senior brother.
The most important thing is that he thinks that the choice is not wrong, the ocean is the future, and the naval equipment will soon catch up, didn't Shen Huoyi engage in a medium-sized twin-engine fourth-generation aircraft? Although it is a self-funded and self-developed model of the company, a discerning person can see at a glance that it has made two preparations - to replace the J-10 and become the next generation of carrier-based fighters. The twin engine is simply tailor-made for the Navy, and the twin engine is always the safest scheme.
The future is promising, so let's draw a successful end to this military exchange!
