Chapter 670: Grinding

As the latest upgraded version of the Huaxia J8 fighter, the J8D engine and electronic equipment have been greatly upgraded and improved, and the overall combat power is the same as that of the Soviet MiG-25, which is good at high-speed raiding, but the low-altitude quality is not good, which is also related to the backward airframe design and engine engine level. Compared with the J10A/B, the J8D, which is good at high-speed volleying, is equipped with the PL12 advanced medium-range missile and the PL8 infrared short-range missile in some specific occasions, which are also a pair of dangerous combinations.

Rick is convinced that the new Tomcat and Falcon he leads are quite good, as far as the Tomcat is concerned, its prototype F14D relies on a powerful engine and advanced electronics to dominate the sky, and the engine thrust is still a little weaker J10 engine power, Rick knows that the new Tomcat with two Chogori-1 engines is quite powerful, due to the increase in the back fuel tank, his own fuel is also very abundant, so he has the idea of using the speed advantage to carry out energy air combat at the beginning, Of course, if his opponent wants to play with him with delicate technique and maneuver around the low-speed zone, he is more than happy to do so. Of course, Huaxia's J10 is also an excellent fighter, when communicating, I have a deep impression of J10's extraordinary flexibility and agility, it is simply a combination of F16 and Mirage 2000, if you can, it is better not to melee with J10.

Taking advantage of the Tomcat's excellent long-range interception capabilities, Rick led the new Tomcat to increase its speed to a maximum of 2.4M, and then, at 100 kilometers, 8 Immortal Bird missiles were launched, aiming at the opponent's J8D first, and then J10A.

Major Li Lu suddenly found himself in danger of annihilation again, the Tianyan early warning aircraft in the rear and the Tu-154 had lost contact, and his communicator and radar appeared from time to time with some black and white spots, which was electromagnetic interference!

A throbbing that I had never experienced before flashed through my heart, "Be vigilant. Beware of Lao Ba's interception......"

Li Lugang said in the communicator, and his voice fell.

And in front of his eyes, several missiles appeared, flying towards him and his fleet.

Because of the maximum speed of the carrier aircraft, the missile also gained a huge kinetic energy advantage after launch. Kill the defender's fleet with lightning speed

A few flames swept past Li Lu's eyes, watching these harmless coaches fly by, damn it, his fingernails were deeply pinched into the flesh, hate, or careless, too careless, is it going to fail again!

Azazler actually ambushed his support aircraft first, causing AWACS and electronic warfare aircraft and 3 J8Ds to withdraw from the battlefield ahead of schedule. In the Immortal Bird missile attack just now. J10A lost two, J8D lost one, and now there are only six J10A, four J8D, the number of fighters on the bright side is still advantageous compared to the opponent's 8 fighters, but the gap between light and heavy aircraft is very obvious, how to play with the fierce new Tomcat of the other side. What's more, the other side also has an EF-14G "Roaring Cat", although because of the mounted electronic hanger, there are only four short-range and medium-range missiles for self-defense. However, the ability to open a "plug-in" to improve the opponent's combat power really made the Chinese pilots jealous.

"Engage the enemy freely now, and don't kill them today. Don't have the face to go back to the base" At the critical moment, Li Lu decisively ordered his pilots in the communicator

For the sake of honor and dignity, the Huaxia pilots also plucked up their courage and rushed towards Rick's fleet.

Both sides were fast and entered within eighty kilometers.

"It's kind of interesting, play with them. Prepare to launch a sky flash," Rick calmly gave the order to his formation.

Eight Intruder fighters share the data transmitted by the Hawkeye AWACS aircraft through the data link and quickly assign their own targets.

The distance between the two sides is still narrowing, to a distance of sixty kilometers.

Under the wings, the flames flickered. The New Tomcat and Falcon each fired two Sky Flash missiles

"Launch the PL12 missile!" Li Lu said calmly in the communicator.

At the same time, six F16s and four J8Ds of the Defenders fired 20 PL12 missiles.

The missiles in the sky left beautiful white traces.

Time is passing nervously minute by minute, and the missiles launched by both sides are flying towards each other, and both sides are holding on, so do they want to perish at the same time? Absolutely not! When the missiles flew within 20 kilometers of the opponent and could be guided autonomously, Rick ordered: "Electronic Cat 1 immediately activates electromagnetic suppression, and all fighters immediately carry out maneuvering flights to get rid of the opponent's missiles!" ”

With Rick's order, the Intruder eight fighters, while turning on the afterburner, make a vertical climb or a serpentine low-altitude maneuver

"All fighters, continue to maintain formation, let's rush over!" Li Lu coldly ordered.

Still in the director's department of the fighting array exercise ground, the generals of Huaxia and Pakistan all looked nervously at the electronic screen, listening to the electronic synthesis female voice say coldly: The invaders lost three fighters: 2 F14E, 1 F16. Now there are only six fighters, including the EF-14G that is peek-a-boo. However, the losses of the defenders are really "miserable"; in the missile firing just now, four J10A and three J8D were lost, and only two J10A and one J8D, including Li Lu, were spared, and the number is no longer superior.

Rick's movements in the operation of the fighter plane were frequent and intense, gliding in the sky where the fighter plane flew around like a cloud, but his mind was as calm as the surface of a windless lake. The data displayed on the LCD monitor was constantly displayed in his eyes through the monocular lens of the helmet display, and in the background of the sky outside the cockpit covered with missile tail smoke, nothing could interfere with him at this time. I know my state at all times; The location of the enemy aircraft was also clearly calculated.

Under Rick's gaze, Li Lu's J10A twin planes were pulling away, and the long plane of Li Lu, who was being chased by Rick, accelerated to feint, and the wingman entered a vertical somersault to catch himself. If you recklessly enter the close chase of Li Lu's long machine, then you will fall into the trap. Although the opponent's two-plane cover was quite good, he still found the opponent's flaws after a few rounds of maneuvering.

Rick glanced around a few times, and a J8D that was trying to intercept him not far away had missed a good volley position because of his constant maneuvering and rolling, and was pulling away to attack him again. You must first disengage from the J10A in front of you, otherwise it will be very dangerous. It is estimated that a simple defensive barrel roll is not necessarily useful. Rick made a decisive right-hand turn, climbed with full afterburner, and then abruptly reduced the thrust of the engine, and at the same time entered an astonishingly violent side turn with an overload.

The new tomcat made an almost inverted "U" trajectory in the sky, like a textbook, and Rick's speed suddenly slowed down a lot. Completed an almost perfect big overload sharp turn.

This kind of maneuver that is close to a stall maneuver is very dangerous, because the overload at the top of the inverted U is too large and the rolling is violent, and many pilots will be dizzy and completely disoriented after doing it, not to mention its combat value; But Rick did it beautifully, and even captured the J8D, which was supposed to be steering 30 kilometers behind his side, into the launch cone of the R73M.

Grab the bull by the horns!

Rick visually deduced that the distance between us and the enemy was less than 40 kilometers at this time, and the J10A long plane piloted by Li Lu and his wingman were still busy dealing with the siege of the four intruder fighters, with the press of his thumb, a large cloud of smoke rose under the wingtip of the left wing, and the R73M, which broke away from the carrier aircraft like a sharp sword, rushed away in the air, and then heard the voice of the director's department in his ears: The J8D fighter has been "shot down". However, this is no longer important, Li Lu's other J10A wingman was outnumbered and had been "killed" under siege.

Now there is only one J10A left for Li Lu, but he also shot down one of the Intruders' F16Zs.

"No, I must not let the honor of the Huaxia Air Force be harmed again!" Li Lu, who had made up his mind, turned on the plane and flew in the direction of the intruder fighter with afterburner.

"I want to fight hard" Seeing that the J10A in front of him was rushing towards the dominant fleet after turning sideways, Azazler (Rick) immediately followed, in the last round of attacks, this guy actually dodged a number of undead birds and sky flash attacks, this guy has good skills, Rick said in his heart. It's a bit of a "sympathy" flavor, but let's get rid of this guy as soon as possible.

Take advantage of the powerful explosiveness of the new Tomcat. Rick piloted the plane in the hedging with Li Lu, grabbed in front of the J10A and suddenly dived downward, and then changed the thrust of the plane to reduce the stall of the plane into a nearly vertical 90 angle climb, a textbook "Cobra" action was completed, if the Grumman engineers saw it is estimated that they will cry bitterly, the Tomcat can also do the "Cobra" action. Then using the sights on the KT-2M, they locked onto the other side and fired two R10Ms at the J73A, which was preparing to climb and disengage.

And then, there is no then.

"Alas, defeated again." Looking at the fireworks in the air, Li Lu took off the oxygen mask in the cockpit. Stared blankly at the new Tomcat fighter outside the cabin.

Suddenly, his public channel came: "Huaxia pilot, you are very brave, your skills are also very good, I'm Rick, how about we make friends." ”

"I'm Li Lu, don't be complacent, we will definitely defeat you next time" Li Lu said unconvinced.

"Hehe, okay, friend Huaxia, I'm looking forward to that day, but I think in the future, wouldn't it be better if we fought side by side?"

"Of course, if Rick, you want to partner with me, I can't ask for it, but until then, I still want to beat you!"

"Hehe, I'm waiting for you at any time, Li Lu."

After a drill that was close to actual combat, the Chinese and Pakistani pilots were already very tired, the sky had gradually darkened, and all the planes had turned on their yellow navigation lights and returned to the "Dou Array" base.

First of all, all kinds of fighters on both sides practiced a variety of sneak attack and counterattack tactics, especially the process of the intruder plane's sneak attack on the defender early warning aircraft and electronic warfare planes was very classic, which made the top level of the Chinese Navy and Air Force cry out for surprise and wonderful, and it can be completely written into the textbook of the aviation unit. Secondly, of course, the aircraft companies of the two countries are pleased to see that their aircraft has been tested almost in actual combat, and its reliability and advancement are beyond doubt, and the finalization of the new Tomcat and the further improvement of the J10 have been accelerated; In the end, the Huaxia side was pleased to see that the quality of its pilots had grown at an astonishing rate under the hard work of these Pakistani old vultures and eagles, and it was gratifying that compared with the annihilation of the entire army with almost zero record earlier, this time the Huaxia fighters had shot down four of the opponent's fighters, which could be regarded as a zero breakthrough. Major Li Lu, the pilot who led the team, also entered the sight of the high-level Chinese leaders, and began to rise steadily, gradually becoming a famous actor of the new generation in the Chinese military circles. As for the Pakistani side, the Pakistani pilots who participated in the Hongqi 93 exercise also gradually put away their contempt for the Chinese pilots, and they also accepted a lesson; after all, while sharpening the Chinese pilots, they were not sharpening themselves.

Rick and Li Lu didn't expect that their conversation would become a prophecy in the future, and they would really become comrades-in-arms who fought side by side with the consequences! (To be continued.) )
