Chapter 636: Armageddon (8)
Since the beginning of the war, Yamamoto Ichiro has been fleeing in embarrassment, until the distance of escape is getting farther and farther, 35 kilometers away from Song Zhiyuan's formation, and finally he has finally got rid of the fate of being constantly locked by the radar of Taiwan fighter planes.
"Bage, I'm so stupid!" The mountain that escaped was not happy, so he slapped his palm on his thigh. "Attention all planes, immediately retreat towards the periphery, and keep a distance of more than 35 kilometers from the fighters on Taiwan Island!" Ichiro Yamamoto called out loudly, "Repeat, immediately retreat to the periphery, and keep a distance of more than 35 kilometers from the fighters on Taiwan Island!" ”
After Yamamoto Ichiro noticed the effective distance of the radar of the Taiwan Air Force fighter, he suddenly realized that he was really stupid, and he actually carried a big heel on such a simple problem, and he was too careless, thinking that with the stealth ability of the F-35, he could unknowingly get close to the Taiwan Air Force fighter and issue a fatal blow, but the Taiwan Air Force unexpectedly had the early warning capability of long-range stealth fighters, and launched a strong block on Yamamoto Ichiro's F-35 fighter group. Ichiro Yamamoto didn't even think of using the advantage of stealth to deal with his opponent.
It's too careless, it's too careless! After Yamamoto Ichiro called his teammates to pull out the effective range of Odaishima's F-16 fighter radar, he found that he had lost ten valuable F-35 fighters in just a few minutes, so Yamamoto Ichiro's heart was dripping with blood and regret in his heart.
However, the good fortune of the Taiwan Air Force was nothing more. Ichiro Yamamoto said in his heart. Now, it's time to give them a great blow.
Ichiro Yamamoto saw that the remaining teammates had entered a safe distance, so he redeployed the battle plan: to keep the fighters at a safe distance of more than 35 kilometers from the F-16 fighters on the island of Taiwan, and to launch an over-the-horizon attack on the fighters on the island using AIM-120. Because at this distance, the radar of the F-16 fighter on Taiwan Island can no longer lock on to the F-35, but the radar of the F-35 can easily lock on to the F-16, a typical representative of the third-generation aircraft.
Looking at the radar screen, the shadow of the F-35 could no longer be found, Song Zhiyuan felt a sense of unease in his heart, in the fierce air battle just now, although the little devil's F-35 was super maneuverable, Song Zhiyuan's air team was unprepared, and still achieved an excellent record of 10:15, although compared to the little devil, Song Zhiyuan's number of fighters lost was 50 percent higher, but considering that this was an asymmetrical battle between the third generation fighter and the fourth generation fighter, Song Zhiyuan was already satisfied.
However, when the remnants of the little devil's fighter plane escaped the effective range of his fighter's radar, Song Zhiyuan could only judge the approximate position of the enemy plane from the information transmitted by the early warning plane, and was unable to carry out radar attack locking. The remaining 38 fighters quickly pressed the launch button of the AIM-120 missile after adjusting their posture to lock on to the F-16.
In the face of this advanced air-to-air missile kill, very few fighters in Song Zhiyuan's air team were able to successfully evade through air maneuvering, and a full 35 fighters were hit, of which 28 were hit on the spot, and the vital point turned into a fireball, and only the pilots of 7 fighters had a chance to eject and get a chance to escape.
If it weren't for the limited number of AIM-120 missiles carried by the little devil's F-35, this sortie carried 2 AIM-120 medium-range bombs and 4 AIM-9X close-range combat bombs according to the standard configuration, and half of it was used in the panicked encounter just now, Song Zhiyuan's air team would have suffered even more heavy losses, Rao is so, the battle loss ratio of 10:50 also made Song Zhiyuan feel aggrieved! The F-35 fighter deserves its true name, and it is by no means easy to confront by the F-16 itself.
Especially after being pulled outside the limit distance of the F-16's own radar, the F-16 is completely passively beaten. The astonishing battle loss ratio of several hundred to one between the fourth-generation fighter and the third-generation fighter created by the US military is based on this ideal value after the distance, of course, this ideal value also depends on the support of a strong air early warning system, and the F-22, a fighter that can theoretically carry 6 AIM-120 medium-range bombs, forms a large cluster combat formation of more than 2-3 squadrons.
Although the battle was not long, the losses on both sides were very heavy, the Taiwan side lost almost a wing of F-16 fighters, and the little devil's F-35 also lost more than one-fifth of the strength of the fighters, you must know that until now, after urgently receiving three F-35 squadrons of the US military in active service, the little devils have a total of less than 5 squadrons of F-35.
With such a huge loss, after Yamamoto led the team to fly back to the Yonaguni Island base, he was immediately relieved of his position as temporary commander and squadron leader by Air Force, and Yamamoto was replaced by Kumamoto, the squadron leader of another squadron.
At this moment, the battle over the Diaoyutai also began, with J-10 / J-11 as the mainstay, SU-27 / SU-30 as the auxiliary of the first wave of more than 100 fighters of the People's Liberation Army, with a close number of little devils from the F-15J and F-2, as well as the Yankees' F-16C / D group, just after entering the 50 km combat radius, they began to attack almost at the same time, and the battle entered a white-hot state at the beginning. Neither side has much room for intrigues, and as soon as they make contact, the missiles fly sideways under the guidance of their own aircraft or their respective airborne early warning aircraft.
Although the fighters on both sides could not see it with the naked eye at this moment, from the radar screen of the fighters, the pilots saw that these messengers who exuded the smell of death were constantly approaching their fighters, and the fighters locked by the radar began to make big moves to avoid maneuvers.
If you can zoom in from the sky to see the camera, on the PLA side, there are about 70 fighters constantly rolling and maneuvering in the sky because they are locked by the radar, while on the side of the little devils, there are only more than 40 fighters locked by the PLA fire control radar and struggling desperately, it seems that the little devils and Yankees have the upper hand in the first round of long-range attacks.
On the US MC2A early warning plane, which was more than 300 kilometers away, Tony and Tom, who had just finished the radar guidance of the air combat over Taiwan Island, began to focus their attention on the airspace of Diaoyutai and formed a dual-plane monitoring and tracking with another MC2A early warning plane, which can provide more accurate radar guidance services for the fighters.
Seeing that the PLA Air Force only locked on less than half of the fighters on his side, Tony sneered, "Copycat products are always copycat products, but if they can have nearly half of our performance, this result should be enough to be proud of the PLA's copycat products." Tom stared at the radar screen in confusion and did not answer, because he found that although the PLA's missile attacks locked on many fewer targets than his own, they were almost evenly distributed on the more than 40 fighters currently locked.
In Tom's view, such a very regular result is by no means due to the lack of function of the PLA's radar system, but most likely intentional, thinking of this, Tom suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.
