Chapter 670 [Just Flying Higher Than You, Are You Angry?] 】
Above the white clouds!
As soon as the two F22s approached the UFO, before they could see what it was, the UFO instantly accelerated to supersonic speed and swept away at high speed into the distance.
"Call the ballroom, call the ballroom, this is Whiplash One, I see it." The pilot of the main engine of the flight formation called to the base.
"Whiplash One, tell me, what the hell is it?" Luo Di hurriedly asked.
Those who don't know don't know what to say, and those who know are eager to find out!
Compared with the ignorant people in the entire base, Roddy, who knew that Stark was developing a new weapon, was more eager than everyone to know what Stark's secret was at the moment.
"It's flying so fast, and now it's in supersonic flight, I can't see what it looks like." The Whiplash One pilot replied.
"Try radio contact."
Hearing that he could still fly at supersonic speed, Roddy's eyes locked on the figure on the screen, flickering in the clouds, and the curiosity in his eyes became more and more intense.
"Sir, I've been contacted, but he hasn't replied." The pilot of Whip No. 1 was also full of surprise at this time.
The pilot's total flight time has exceeded 2,000 hours, but this is the first time in his life that he has seen such a small supersonic vehicle.
"Didn't reply? Then you can get moving. "The commander of the base doesn't care whether this is a new type of high technology or not, and knocking it down is the last chance to save his dignity.
"Whip One received!" After the pilot finished answering, he immediately increased the thruster vector, and also quickly chased after it at supersonic speed.
The wingmen move in sync, breaking the sound barrier from the right side and flying away!
The F22 Raptor fighter had a strong instantaneous acceleration, and it took less than ten seconds to catch up with the fleeing Stark again.
And control the fire control radar with a helmet-mounted sight, locking on Stark, who did not make an emergency evasive maneuver, feedback on the onboard "HUD".
"I've finished locking and I'm attacking!"
As the Whip One pilot's voice fell, the built-in bomb bay under the fuselage ejected, and an AIM-9 "Sidewinder" air-to-air missile poked out and ignited at the same time.
"Poof—"
After the Sidewinder air-to-air missile rushed out nearly 100 meters, the gas engine started a second acceleration and went straight to the target at a rapid speed of more than Mach 3.
Stark had already entered Mach 1.5 at this time, but under the pursuit of the more alarming Sidewinder missile, it took less than ten seconds to close the distance between them to less than 300 meters.
"There are missiles coming, and they are approaching at high speed, and they are currently at a distance of 286 meters."
Hearing Jarvis's warning, Stark gave the order without thinking: "Launch an incendiary bomb." ”
The Mark suit helmet has a built-in nerve signal receiving device, and the moment it receives the Stark signal, a disc-shaped, palm-sized decoy launcher protrudes from the two outer sides of the thigh hip at the same time.
"Doodoo Dot ......"
The decooty launcher spun rapidly, and dozens of high-temperature incendiary grenades the size of thumbs were fired at Stark's back almost at the same time.
In less than 0.5 seconds after leaving the body, all the incendiary bombs exploded one after another, forming an ultra-high temperature flame cluster with a radius of more than five meters.
"Bang~"
The impact fuse inside the proximity fuse of the Sidewinder missile is affected by the high temperature of the incendiary bomb, and the electronic system can judge that it is effective, and it explodes violently.
"Ahh
Hit by the shock wave of the missile, Stark's flight balance was instantly lost, and he fell headlong from the clouds.
"It fired incendiary grenades, evasion, evasion!"
Whip One looked at the explosion of the missile in front of him, superimposed to form a flame mass of more than ten meters, and hurriedly manipulated the fighter to make an emergency maneuver.
"Whoa—whoa—"
The two F22 Raptor fighters, one on the left and the other on the right, drew a "zigzag" shape in the sky and swept to both sides at high speed.
However, while they managed to avoid the bomb's blaster damage, they also temporarily lost Stark's vision of the UFO.
"How's it going? Please answer me immediately. Roddy was desperate to know the outcome of the fighter's first attack.
"It just used an incendiary grenade and left our attack, and now it has disappeared from our field of vision, and there is no signal from its radar."
"Damn it!" Hearing this, Roddy was very annoyed.
Of course, he didn't want to kill Stark, but wanted to get substantial evidence by shooting down this strange flying machine from the sky.
At that time, we will be able to obtain this cooperation in cutting-edge weapons from Stark, so that the military strength of the United States will become strong again.
This is the most basic loyalty to the country as a soldier!
And where did Stark go at this time?
In the blue sky, if you want to avoid all electronic devices and field of vision, there is no better place than to form stratus clouds that form thunderstorms.
The electric charge in the thunderstorm stratus clouds is simply a natural shielding device.
The weather in Afghanistan is sunny right now, and that's just the general weather situation, not in some areas.
In arid and hot places, thundershowers are more likely to form.
Stark, who fell from a high altitude, entered a rain cloud as he stabilized his body.
"Jarvis, how can I get rid of them?" Thundershowers are usually very small, leaving Stark with little time to figure it out.
"Sir, the practical ceiling of the pursuing F22 fighter is only 19,812 meters, and the ultimate ceiling is less than 25,000 meters, and the specially modified Mark No. 3 suit can easily break through 30,000 meters, maybe this is the only way for you to escape."
After listening to Jarvis's data analysis, Stark immediately had an idea to accelerate the impetus of Mark's No. 3 suit to Mach 2 in the remaining range of the rain clouds.
Whoosh –
Stark rushed out of the stratus clouds at high speed and headed straight for 30,000 meters in a vertical direction.
"I spotted it, more than 10 kilometers away on the right, and it was climbing vertically." When Stark rushed to the top of the cloud 6,000 meters again, the wingman, who was hovering and searching, once again spotted the target that had been lost.
"Chase after him, don't let him run." The chief officer of the air base hurriedly ordered.
"Roger!"
The two F22 Raptor fighters were ordered to immediately increase the thrust of the turbofan engines to the maximum and climb faster than Mach 2.
Unfortunately, although the maximum flight speed of the F22 can reach Mach 2.25, its self-weight of more than 20 tons and thrust-to-weight ratio of 0.84 limit its climbing speed.
As the altitude continues to rise, the F22 flies more slowly.
However, the speed attenuation of the Mark suit, which is hundreds of times smaller and heavier, is not very obvious.
In less than half a minute, the two F22 Raptor fighters not only did not shorten the distance, but were pulled farther and farther away.
"Call the ballroom, it's climbing too fast, infinitely close to Mach 2, and now it's 25,000 meters, which is beyond our height limit, we can't catch up with it."
Whip No. 1, which is still more than 17,000 meters away, looked at the UFO on the "HUD" screen that was still climbing in height and was less than 30,000 meters away.
In addition to shock, I was still shocked!
A fighter jet capable of exceeding 30,000 meters in the world today can be said to be very rare.
The representative products of the United States are also the "XB-70" Valkyrie bomber, the Blackbird high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance plane, and the "Flying Fox" high-altitude and high-speed interceptor fighter developed by the old Maozi Mikoyan Design Bureau, and a small number of models that cannot be installed.
And now, an unidentified aerial vehicle with a size of less than two square meters can not only reach twice the speed of sound, but also reach a terrifying altitude of 30,000 meters.
This is simply impossible to understand with common sense, and it is completely contemporary black technology.
"Can it be taken down with a missile?" The chief officer of the air base was very unwilling.
The F22 Raptor fighter is equipped with two Sidewinder air-to-air missiles, with a maximum attack range of more than 15 kilometers, which seems to be able to attack at first glance.
But the truth is cruel!
"The missile's climb power is insufficient, and the target climbs too fast, and there is no way to complete the attack."
Climbing requires more thrust than level flight, and the pilot of the Whiplash One wanted to open fire, but his expertise told him very clearly.
Air-to-air missiles in the air are not omnipotent!
"Bastard!"
Seeing the UFO silently slipped under their noses and swaggered away from them, the base director was almost so angry that he vomited blood.
At this time, Luo Di was very helpless, but he was also inexplicably relieved.
The former is a soldier's duty, distressed by not getting Stark's substantial evidence, and the latter is personal, glad that his friend was able to leave safely.
