The space fighter nicknamed the "Sky Wolf" is actually an improvement from the "Steppe Eagle" space helicopter, and their relationship is the same as that between the "Mi-24" Hind helicopter and the "Mi-28" Tornado helicopter. The Steppe Eagle space helicopter is a general-purpose helicopter that is armed and draped and designed with a spacious crew cabin. The "Sky Wolf" aerospace fighter is a special fighter developed in accordance with the design concept of the former, and its appearance is a stealth design, with a single pilot and no crew cabin. Standing on the tarmac under the scorching sun in late spring and early summer, I looked at the black-gray "Sky Wolf" plane in front of me, its mighty and domineering and hideous and fearful appearance added a lot of courage to my soul to forget about life and death. Its appearance has greatly boosted the morale of the whole army, and tomorrow's victory is just around the corner! The design of the "Sky Wolf" air and space fighter is an ordinary fighter-style design, because it is a special fighter, and there is no need to rely on the design ideas of the "Prairie Eagle" at all. Its fuselage is 18 meters long, the wingspan is 9 meters long, the height is 2.6 meters, and the front three-point wheeled landing gear. At first glance, its side looks like the J-15, and there is a raised ridge line on its side, making it more like a stealth aircraft, but the function of this ridge line is actually a typical wedge-shaped design, in order to make the shell bounce and reduce the landing area when it is hit by enemy artillery fire. Also, it should be reminded that it does not have a vertical tail, and since there is no air in the space environment, the aerodynamic shape is not a concern at first, but considering that it will also fight in the Earth environment or other planetary environments, the fuselage and wings still retain the traditional appearance, but there are no ailerons. The new fighter is powered by four black hole engines, which are designed at the tips of the wings on both sides and the wingtips on the tail fins. These four engines can achieve front, rear, left and right tilting, so that the fighter can achieve suspension, translation, flip or even roll over (the nose down rolling action, conventional fighters are impossible to achieve), this design makes its take-off and landing mode for the run-up take-off and landing and vertical take-off and landing two ways. The black hole engines designed at the wingtips are the size of a thermofer, but they have tremendous thrust, reaching a staggering Mach 5 in the Earth environment and a terrifying Mach 22 in the vacuum of space. The advantage of designing at the wingtips is that it can increase the load under the wing and enhance maneuverability.

The "Sky Wolf" air-space fighter has three hardpoints under the wings on each side, and each hardpoint is equipped with a 19-pack 85-millimeter caliber space combat missile launcher, with the middle and inner missiles being short- and medium-range missiles, and the outermost missiles being long-range missiles. When it comes to space air combat missiles, this is a rare weapon, because this missile is mainly used in the space battlefield, so it does not have wings for balancing, and its flight direction control is completely lazy with thrust vectors, just like a barrel-launched intercontinental missile can control flight without wings. The medium and short-range space air combat missile is a first-stage rocket-boosted type, while the long-range space air combat missile is designed as a second-stage rocket-boosted type, which greatly increases the range and distance. Whether it is a medium- or short-range missile or a long-range missile, their guidance system is an intelligent mode (a mode of comprehensive use of thermal radiation guidance, optoelectronic guidance, and radar guidance), and no matter what interference methods are used by enemy aircraft, it is in vain. Moreover, the missile is also equipped with an armor-piercing warhead, which is completely comfortable against hard targets.

In my opinion, the original intention of the stealth design of the fighter may be to reduce the impact area of the cross-section. The canopy of the single-person cockpit of the "Sky Wolf" aircraft is a push-back type, but its hatch cover is not the usual arc-shaped, but like the hatch canopy glass of the gunship, it is straight, and the top glass of the hatch that slopes straight forward and downward, and the glass on both sides form a beautiful hexagonal shape with the cross-section of the entire fuselage. This design allows enemy fire to hit the nose of the aircraft without a blunt impact, but instead creates a helmet effect that causes the incoming projectile to bounce off.

If there is anything similar to this "Sky Wolf" aircraft improved from the Prairie Eagle helicopter, it may be its 30mm machine gun. Like the Prairie Hawk helicopter, the cannon is located under the nose and can be stowed away in the gun compartment in normal times, leaving only the muzzle exposed for firing. However, the cannon on the "Sky Wolf" does not have a manual mode, and relies entirely on the helmet monocular display for aiming operation. The helmet-mounted monocular display can also guide space air combat missiles, and in the case that our missiles are interfered with by enemy electronic warfare, we can rely on the helmet-mounted monocular sight to guide the missile to hit the enemy aircraft.

I like the intelligent control system of the "Sky Wolf" aircraft the most, which can carry out remote control operation unmanned flight operations, and can also carry out flight operations with complete autonomous identification. Each pilot can enter personal information into the fighter's computer system, name his fighter, and even create a mode where a third party cannot fly. In this way, the fighter can automatically fly and fight under the pilot's voice operation or off-aircraft operation. Voice operation refers to the pilot's intelligent operation without freeing up his hands, and the off-aircraft operation is similar to the remote control operation, and the intelligent driving system of the fighter can be connected with the driver's thinking consciousness, even if it is not voice operation, but it can also realize consciousness control. Comrades-in-arms usually joke that they already have a heart for themselves in their own cars.

"Comrades, get ready!" Colonel Tulik stood in front of the team and instructed: "In 10 minutes, we will start to fly the plane for lift-off training, and go to the Tianhe Aerospace Helicarrier in geosynchronous orbit......

Everyone replied loudly in unison, "We are all ready, sir!" ...... "Good!" Boarding is now begins! Ready to take off! ”

"It's sir!"

I named my "Sky Wolf" air and space fighter numbered 022 "Big Gray" as the name suggests, the meaning of Big Bad Wolf. The nomads take the wolf as their totem, which shows that the wolf's spirit of perseverance, stubbornness, courage to fight, resourcefulness, fearlessness, and glory in battle is the most fierce and courageous fighting spirit, and it is this spirit that can dominate them so that the nomads have conquered most of the world.

"Big Ash, open the hatch!" I stood in front of the fighter plane and commanded the mount with mental awareness. "Received Comrade Liu Yun, the system is running." The fighter plane spoke to me in the form of brain waves.

I sat in the cockpit, turned on the electronic systems, checked and corrected all the procedures, and was ready to start taking off as soon as I received the command. The four black hole engines were already functioning normally, and there was no noise in the air except for the sound of a strong air flow that "sizzled".

Colonel Tariq told him on the radio: "No matter how advanced the fighter is, everyone must bring the environmental control and health protection system and individual weapons, and be fully prepared for war...... All attention should be paid to all fighters preparing to take off vertically and maintain formation after liftoff. A total of 30 fighters took part in today's training exercise, and each of the five fighters took off in six groups in six teams. The first team to which I belong used hand gestures to my comrades through the cockpit canopy to signal that they were ready to take off. "Attention First Team, get ready, take off!" "Received sir!" Everyone responded with confidence. After the fighter took off smoothly, I immediately pulled the nose upward, and the strong thrust of the four black hole engines effortlessly lifted the 21,500-kilogram heavily armed fighter into the air and into the clear blue sky. As we approached the ozone layer, all 30 of our fighters converged to form a figure-three echelon formation, ready to break out of the Earth's gravity and head into a synchronous orbit. It is not easy to break out of the strong gravitational pull of the earth, and it requires extremely high speed to rush outward, otherwise the fighter can only stay at high altitude and levitate.

"The Tianhe mothership arrived in the nearby airspace 20 minutes later, and all the fighters were immediately ready to land!" Colonel Tariq also flew with us during this training, and he always served as a navigator throughout the training, leading the way for the novices. With considerable experience in piloting and rich theoretical knowledge, the fighters explored how to break out of the gravitational range and drive the fighter into a synchronous orbit. "Be on high alert for space junk, don't look at them as a small fragment, but they are extremely powerful, and it will never be a problem to tear your fighter plane to shreds!" The colonel prompted. "We're ready to accelerate the impact! Colonel, please instruct! "The pilot, who was the leader of the squad, was already impatient to ask for orders. "Good! The first echelon began to accelerate the impact! Stay in formation! Echelon 2 get ready! "Roger! Fighter jets are in! "The high morale of the fighters has given them high morale and confidence in the face of unprecedented challenges.

Rushing out of the gravitational range of the earth is a painful torment for everyone, always breathing pure oxygen, but still feeling dizzy, a black in front of the eyes, the blood in the whole body seems to have all gathered in the heels, the heart is beating weakly, the lobes of the lungs are also breathing weakly, the gray and gray head also feels empty without a drop of brain, and the whole body is in sharp pain like tearing the lungs. As a special forces, I feel that even if I am strong, if I have to shuttle back and forth within the gravitational range of the earth a few times, I estimate that I will become a pile of soft marshmallows.

In just ten minutes, I felt like I had been in the operating room or in the torture room all day. All the fighters floating in the geosynchronous orbit reduced their speed at this time, and after the general struggle of fighting with death, the fighters all reported their situation to each other on the radio, fortunately, no one showed signs of danger, and after a short 5-minute rest in an extremely nervous mental state, the space carrier showed a hideous face from the eastern horizon. It was noon, but it was completely dark in space, (because the earth has an atmosphere, the sky looks blue, and in space there is a vacuum, and the background of the universe is a frightening black) there are no references around, and the sun in the southwest direction shines on every object suspended in space with the most poisonous light of his life. All of the fighters were sitting in slight evasive maneuvers to avoid space junk in synchronous orbit. The "Tianhe" aerospace carrier, which circled the earth for 90 minutes, is getting closer and closer to us, and its huge hull blocks part of the sunlight, casting a huge shadow on the earth's surface. "Prepare to land!" The Colonel had already made contact with the Aerospace Carrier, and after obtaining permission to land, he gave the order. "Roger!" Landing on a ship in a synchronous orbit is quite difficult, and it is by no means the same as landing on a land-based runway or an aircraft carrier. In synchronous orbits, the speed of both objects is quite fast, and even the slightest collision can have catastrophic consequences, and after carefully adjusting the speed, the angle must be carefully adjusted, but it is also quite difficult to adjust the landing angle of a fighter plane in the weightless environment of space. Such a difficulty is tantamount to combining manned spacecraft in space, and there is no room for error. Colonel Tariq often told us that such training should be sustained and frequent, otherwise a small negligence would cost us his life.

Of course, I was not the first person to fly the "Sky Wolf" plane on the "Tianhe" aerospace carrier. In this training, all of us were rookies except for Tariq who went to school. As a commander and fighter who participated in Operation Saturn's Halo, it is necessary for me to bear the brunt of this, and I muttered in my heart, I don't believe that this fighter is more difficult to fly than the "Peace" super fighter? Later, the results confirmed that my judgment was correct. The "Sky Wolf" aircraft with a simple body was agile and easy to control, and at this time, there was a take-off and landing officer in a bulletproof spacesuit on the deck directing me to land. When approaching the flight deck of the space carrier, I quickly opened the landing gear, and then slowly lowered the altitude (in fact, the distance, it is inseparable from the top and bottom in space), and then with its own speed of rotation around the earth, I was about to land on the steel deck of the "Tianhe". Because of the fear that the fighter plane would be thrown out by the powerful centrifugal force when it was running around the ground at high speed, there was an electromagnetic adsorption device under each fighter plane on the deck of the "Tianhe." As soon as the fighter plane stopped, the device was immediately activated, and the "Sky Wolf" plane was steadily sucked on the deck. This electromagnetic adsorption device has another advantage, that is, only when the fighter needs to take off urgently, the electromagnetic device can generate reverse magnetic thrust, and the fighter can fly off the deck in an instant, so that other fighters can take off and land.

During this landing training, only 16 of them landed smoothly, and the remaining 14 fighters returned to the land-based tarmac of the unit accompanied by Colonel Tariq.
