Chapter 668: Fighting Array Exercise
In a province in northwest China, the "Fighting Array" land and air comprehensive exercise ground.
Rick changed his position in the cockpit slightly, looked at the blue sky outside the cockpit, and carefully piloted the fighter plane to fly low over the desert.
Rick thought about the last exercise, they carried supersonic anti-ship missiles, bypassed the escort fighters, entered the range of 200 kilometers, launched a huge YJ-91 missile, and completely "destroyed" the opponent's aircraft carrier, the old ship that was used as a target ship, was sunk by one, when the ramjet YJ-91 was launched from under the belly, that scene was really pleasing to the eye.
And this time, it is a new exercise, they will once again play the role of invaders, and at the same time, as always, abuse their counterparts in China.
According to the preset plot of the director's department: 16 fighters of the Huaxia Air Force, including 8 J10A and 8 J8D, will play the role of defenders to defend against the invasion of Huaxia airspace by 8 fighters led by Rick, including 4 F14E, 4 F16, and 1 EF-14G "Roaring Cat" will fly with the invasion fighters, and the E-2C "Hawkeye" early warning aircraft and EC-130H "Compass Call" at an altitude of 10,000 meters away Electronic jammers provide electronic support and command coordination to intruder fighters. The defenders have the Yun-8 police "Sky Eye" early warning aircraft and the Tu-154 electronic warfare aircraft to work together.
In the mutual cooperation with Pakistan, Huaxia has also benefited a lot, such as the airborne radar system, due to the Pakistani Tomcat fighter and F-16 fighter as a reference, the joint efforts of the two sides, and the hard work of scientific and technological personnel such as Bai Xue, finally overcome the difficulties of the pulse Doppler radar of the flat slot antenna.
As a multiplier of air combat forces, Huaxia has not given up its efforts to obtain early warning aircraft after the failure of the Air Police No. 1 project. First of all, on the basis of the Y-8, a radar was added to the nose, a fist product from the British EMI company: a frequency agile long-range surveillance radar using pulse compression technology, which can carry out anti-submarine and anti-ship. This improved Y-8 aircraft is equipped with the Navy and has become a maritime patrol aircraft, with the function of an early warning aircraft. Due to the lack of ability to process complex echoes on the ground. Can only be used at sea.
At the same time, the technical cooperation between Huaxia and Pakistan continues, because Pakistan already has the E-2 early warning aircraft, and now the focus is on overcoming the difficulties of large strategic early warning aircraft, so the project is still steadily advancing, and for Huaxia, which has no early warning aircraft, can not wait, on the basis of its own strength, temporarily developed the early warning aircraft of the Yun-8 platform.
This is not the Air Police 200 that adopted an active phased array radar system in later generations. Instead, a flat slot antenna is used, a pulse-Doppler radar that needs to rotate, and now, this AWACS aircraft is still being tested and has begun to participate in various exercises.
The Tu-154 electronic warfare aircraft, on the other hand, is the same as in history. In history, in 95 years, Huaxia improved two three-engine Tu-154M passenger aircraft into electronic warfare air platforms. Multiple radomes, antennas, and electronic warfare equipment have been added. And now. The time was advanced, in the battle with the Pakistan Air Force. Knowing that electronic warfare plays a vital role in air warfare, the Chinese side began these explorations very early, and now the Tu-154 electronic warfare aircraft has been successfully modified, which has been completely finalized and entered service with the troops.
"Intruder detachment, I'm Azazler. Turn on the data link, receive the data sent by Hawkeye-1, do not use the pulsed Doppler search mode, use the OEPS optoelectronic detection device to search for the enemy, and temporarily maintain radio silence from now on. "Rick uses the in-house flight channel. Orders were given to 7 other fighters.
After taking off from the airport, the "Intruder" group led by Rick did not activate the radar carried by the fighters, but remained silent, and the external detection of the fighters was changed to rely on a passive photoelectric detection system to slowly enter the exercise area.
(PS: Spit it out, after the Huaxia Navy and Air Force were equipped with the Su-27SK, they almost regarded the transparent shell hemisphere in the nose as a sacred object, surrounding Da Mao's OEPS photoelectric detection system, and the secret war between the two countries continued, until the first few years after entering the new century, Huaxia was still fighting with Da Mao for the introduction of the latest model of OEPS system.) The U.S. Imperial Navy and Air Force have been equipped with this thing for more than ten years, and the early F14-A+ has used the AN/ARL-1 optical television system with a detection range of 97 kilometers, while the F14D has used the AN/ARL-23 with a detection range of more than 110 kilometers! It's just that the Americans regard this thing as an ordinary avionics upgrade, and they don't make a lot of publicity like Da Mao. )
And Mhammad introduced the F14 "Tomcat" fighter by various means, so that the current Huaxia was exposed to the passive detection system of the fighter at least ten years in advance.
As early as in the subsequent series of Tomcat fighter upgrade plans, the AIM-54 "Immortal Bird" missiles provided by the US imperialists to Pakistan can be searched through the ALR-23 infrared detection system and the AGW-9 or AN/APG-71 radar linkage, and the data of the predetermined battlefield can be obtained in advance. However, Pakistan handed over the samples and technical data of the OEPS photoelectric detection system of the MiG-29 and Su-27 captured from the Afghan war and the Indo-Pakistani war (that is, the hemisphere with the transparent shell on the nose of the Su-27 and MiG-29) to Huaxia to jointly crack and develop and share the technical achievements. Therefore, combined with the infrared detection technology of the US imperialists and the woolly bear and the optical television technology to identify the target, a world-leading fighter photoelectric detection system and the joint helmet display TK-2M were finally included in the standard equipment of the Chinese and Pakistani fighters after 10 years of "sharpening a sword", and with the R-73M "Super Archer" (Chinese imitation model PL-13) short-range infrared attack missile obtained through special channels, it has become a "killer weapon" in the hands of the aviation forces of the two countries!
Ten minutes later.
"Azazler, the defenders have taken off from the airport and are expected to arrive in the exercise area in three minutes, ready." Hawkeye 1 breaks the radio silence and gives instructions.
"Roger, the Intruder Brigade entered the ultra-low-altitude flight and called the compass for electronic support, obscuring our electronic signal. Follow us in action. Rick gave orders in an orderly manner.
Electric Cat No. 1 is the Growling Cat, which is also a sharp weapon of the Pakistan Air Force. Moreover, the maneuverability of this thing is similar to that of the prototype Tomcat, and it can fully accompany the group.
4 new Tomcats, 4 Falcon and 1 electronic cat carefully flew slowly over the desert at a low altitude of 150 meters at a speed of 400 kilometers per hour, and 5 Tomcat fighters pulled the deformation wings to a minimum sweep angle of 20 degrees like peacocks on the screen, waiting for the arrival of the "defender".
Major Li Lu piloted the J10A, in the bubble-shaped glass cockpit, happily looking at the seven wingmen around him, as well as the eight J8Ds flying at high altitude, and the eight police "Sky Eye" early warning planes in the rear 200 kilometers away to report the air situation, and no intruder fighters were found in the current airspace. A specially modified Tu-154 electronic warfare aircraft also reported the absence of hostile radar beam irradiation swarms.
Although the Eighth Policeman can already monitor targets on land and separate the targets in complex echoes, due to the limited data processing capacity, they are still unable to effectively detect fighters flying at ultra-low altitudes in the distance in complex terrain processing, which is also a disadvantage of the Eighth Police. If you want to change, you can only develop a new AWACS aircraft on a larger airframe platform and equip it with more electronic equipment, and Huaxia has already chosen the Il-76 and wants to modify it on this basis.
Why hasn't the pilot of the old bus arrived yet? It seems that the director department will report the wrong one? However, this is almost the case every time, although a plan was set up before the exercise, but the Pakistani pilots, every time they do not follow the plan, they will break the routine and make the Chinese air force abused.
Azazler, you won't be leading the team, will you? We still have an account to calculate! Li Lu said in his heart, but he didn't dare to be careless.
Most of the Pakistani pilots who flew Tomcat fighters were ace pilots who had experienced the flames of war, and they often slaughtered the Chinese "rookies" on the "fighting array" exercise ground, and the Pakistani pilots nicknamed "Azazel" were the most ferocious.
When someone planned to propose to the Huaxia Supreme Command to cancel the "fighting array" exercise ground and save face, General Wang Haihai, a staunch "reformist" of the Air Force, directly entered a "violent state" and rebuked his subordinates for their incompetence and laziness, believing that the rookies still need to continue to increase the intensity and intensity of the training of subjects close to actual combat, so the most painful period for the rookies has come...... Li Lu was also miserable at that time, and he made up his mind in his heart that he must give the Pakistani pilot nicknamed "Azazel" a good look, and avenge himself and the predecessors who were planted in his hands!
The lessons of the predecessors and his own cautious habits made Li Lu still ask the "Sky Eye" in the rear to constantly monitor the suspicious airspace, the Tu-154 was on standby for electronic jamming support at any time, and the four J8D were left to protect the early warning aircraft and electronic warfare aircraft.
"Azazler, the defenders have reached the intended airspace" Hawkeye 1 once again came from the air. (To be continued.) )
