"In a medium-range air battle, the distance between the two sides is sixty, and the tenth plane locks on to the F-16 and holds it for five seconds." The ground has also been synchronized with the data.

Shen Fei's people were stunned for a moment, and their eyes widened, how could this be?

Although the engine of the F-16 is castrated, the electronic equipment is still advanced, even if it is locked, it is also locked together, how can there be a tenth machine that locks the F-16, and the F-16 actually does not lock the other party? And, the lock was held for another five seconds! This means that if it is really an air battle, it will definitely be shot down!

Unless, the two sides are not fighting head-on! That is to say, being locked this time has nothing to do with the plane, it is completely the pilot's problem! It seems that the pilots from the United States will not work either!

Shen Fei's people didn't know how many situations they had thought about in their hearts, and in the end, they didn't think that the No. 10 machine could have such a big advantage, it must be a human problem!

It's a pity that I can't change people now, so I can only continue to wait for the next battle.

"Good!" General Wang, the commander of the Air Force, smashed his fist on the table, and medium-range air combat is what the Huaxia Air Force lacks the most! Even the most advanced J-8-2 fighter in China now does not have suitable medium-range radars and missiles!

But now, the situation has changed, and Chengfei has developed an advanced third-generation fighter with complete medium-range combat capability! This radar is advanced, and at the same time, Huaxia will soon have advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles! Pakistan has been able to independently produce advanced active-guided air-to-air missiles, which will be exported to Chengfei.

In five seconds, it has gone from a distance of sixty to thirty, and in this case, the medium-range air-to-air missile can be launched! And. The chances of the opponent escaping are slim.

At the same time, both sides also came within visual range.

Air battles take place quickly, and good pilots can accurately visually see the target at a distance of twenty kilometers.

Henry was still curious. Just now, its own airborne radar should be able to detect the other side, could it be the opponent's fighter plane, which has local stealth capabilities?

How far the fighter's radar can detect depends not only on the performance of the radar itself, but also on the radar reflection area of the target, that is, the RCS value. This improved AN / APG-66 radar can reach an upward range of 90 kilometers for targets with an RCS value of 5 square meters. But now, the J-10 on the opposite side, by applying a stealth coating, has reduced the radar reflection area to 3 square meters. Since it is only applied temporarily, there are no other measures, so it is absolutely impossible to reduce it to less than 1 square meter.

Even so. The detection range of the AN/APG-66 radar has been reduced to within 60 kilometers! Thereupon. At a distance of ninety, the F-16 did not see anything, and could only turn to search, and as a result, it was exploited by the tenth machine.

Instead of using radar immediately, the No. 10 machine first used an optoelectronic radar to detect it. This passive detection method made it impossible for the F-16 to detect it at all, and as a result, it was not until it was locked by the radar that Henry found the target.

Although it is locked. Henry is still not afraid, this is not an official battle, there is no need to worry about being shot down, what he needs to think about is how to lock the opponent!

So, in the process of flying against each other, Henry began to use his own airborne radar to try to lock on to his opponent.

Lei Qiang had already been prepared, when the other party began to lock on himself, Lei Qiang immediately operated the fighter, skillfully made a side turn, and turned to a position perpendicular to the opponent's radar beam, so the opponent's pulse Doppler radar automatically filtered out Lei Qiang's plane as clutter.

This set of tactics was taught by the Pakistani side, and in actual combat, Pakistan often got out of the lockdown in this way.

When Henry realizes that his radar is not locking onto the opponent and the point of light is gone, he knows that he has a more difficult opponent, and Henry pushes the joystick, hoping to follow the opponent sideways.

At this time, Lei Qiang made another skillful side turn, made a serpentine turn, and once again narrowed the distance with the opponent, trying to lock on to the opponent again with his own radar.

Both sides were first-class pilots, and just like that, from a distance of thirty kilometers, all the way up to five kilometers, did not lock on the opponent again.

At this time, the two sides are flying head-on, when the two high-speed planes are flying towards each other, the people on the ground are holding their breath, will there be a collision in the air?

At the moment of passing by, Henry was in the cockpit, waving his fist at the other party and raising his middle finger.

Lei Qiang smiled in return, the guy opposite would be abused by himself!

After both sides pass by, pull the rod, kick the rudder, and do a horizontal steering. It's all more than the ability to hover continuously.

Whoever has the best hovering ability will be able to turn first while facing the opponent's ass with their own nose, which is the easiest to get the lock-in opportunity.

The F-16 is a dexterous fighter with a normal aerodynamic layout of large side strip wings, a large usable lift coefficient of a single wing in the cantilever type, and a low wing load and a large instantaneous circling angular velocity. When flying at low altitude at low speeds, the instantaneous hovering angular velocity can reach 25.5 deg/s. At the same time, the stable hovering performance is also good, and the hovering radius is only 650 meters when the flight speed is M0.7.

This kind of aircraft is a fighter developed by the Americans after absorbing the lessons of the Vietnam War, and it attaches great importance to maneuverability, and moreover, with the help of the powerful aviation technology of the United States, it has achieved excellent performance with only a normal aerodynamic layout.

It's a pity, it depends on who it compares to!

If compared with the normal aerodynamic layout, the F-16 is considered a leader, but now, compared with the fighter with the canard layout, it is completely weak.

There is no need to compare with the No. 10 aircraft, even with the Mirage 2000, and the F-16 cannot keep up with the Mirage 2000 in the circle, this kind of delta-wing fighter has an instantaneous hovering angle of about 30 degrees per second! The aerodynamic layout of the No. 10 machine is even better, and the instantaneous hovering ability is stronger than that of the Mirage 2000! In the later generations, the No. 10 machine could reach 37 degrees in an instantaneous circling angular velocity, and the maximum instantaneous angular velocity could even reach 46 degrees! Of course, I just don't know if the pilot can withstand such a huge overload.

In short, compared to circling, the F-16 is no match for the tenth machine.

However, if you want to turn around now, it is not an instant circle, but a continuous circle, in the continuous circle, the loss of power is very fast, so, than the stable circle, the single-engine aircraft, can never compare to the double-engine aircraft, the heavy air supremacy fighter, must be double-engine, in order to quickly provide enough energy to maintain the speed of the aircraft.

Now, the disadvantage of insufficient power is still on the side of the F-16! If it is an F-100 equipped with an F100 engine, it may be comparable to the stable hovering of the No. 10 engine, but now the F-16 is equipped with a J79 turbojet engine! The power of this engine is only 80% of the original! So, as it circles, the speed is losing at a rapid pace.

At the same time, the No. 10 machine is also circling rapidly, it already has excellent hovering performance, and now, there is a strong thrust engine, while circling, Lei Qiang has turned on the afterburner of the engine, so the plane can maintain enough power to hover, so that the hovering continues.

When the F-16 appeared again in Lei Qiang's field of vision in the front hemisphere, the other party was still slowly turning, looking at the other party's appearance, of course Lei Qiang would not be polite, although he was very uncomfortable due to overload, he still used his fire control to lock the other party again!

Second lockdown! When the sound of being locked came from the headset again, Henry turned his head back vigorously in his cockpit, trying to see the airspace situation behind him, he was circling, why was he locked by the other party?

Now, the theory of air combat has been well developed, and an important aspect of winning in air combat is energy! No matter what maneuver you do, you need enough energy!

Now, when he was locked by the other party, Henry had turned less than one hundred and sixty degrees, and his speed had dropped sharply, without speed, there would not be enough energy to get rid of the other party, so Henry did not flicker left and right to try to get rid of the lock, but continued to accelerate forward, only by increasing his speed, he could turn around and fight with the other party!

Just when he was accelerating, Henry was still a little itchy with hatred, blaming this damn power, the power of the turbojet engine was not good, and GM also put more than a ton of heat shields on the outside! This is clearly a cheat. Now, I really cheated Henry.

If it was the previous engine, Henry could still fight, but now, feeling the slow acceleration of this fighter, Henry suddenly felt a little unconfident in his heart.

Suddenly, a phrase that circulated in the flying world appeared in my mind, and when you encounter a phantom, you don't turn! Compared with the hovering ability, the aircraft of various countries are not as good as Dassault's Phantom aircraft, which has always been good at building delta wings! And the one that is fighting now is also the same delta-wing fighter, and there are more agile canard wings!

When encountering a Phantom does not turn, when encountering this No. 10 machine, it can't turn even more, than turning, the most advanced F-16 can keep up, and now, this castrated version of the F-16, there is no possibility of winning at all!

Lei Qiang has once again established confidence through a turn just now, this time, he must play majestic!

The fighter in front is almost facing Lei Qiang at the tail, even if it uses the domestic Thunderbolt-7 air-to-air missile, it can be successfully defeated!

The other party doesn't seem to have any tricks, so he knows that he is blindly accelerating, is he trying to compete with himself?

The opponent accelerated, and Lei Qiang continued to accelerate until the lock was maintained for more than 5 seconds, and then the lock ended, and the third confrontation began! (To be continued......)
