Chapter 62: 0:30!
Wenchou Air Base is located on the high slope of the loess and is the largest air force training base in China, and before all the new air force equipment is officially installed, a series of test flights and training must be carried out here, and flight manuals and tactical manuals must be compiled.
The delivery of the new model of fighter to the Air Force means that for the first time since the 50s of the last century, the Chinese Air Force has a main fighter that does not lag behind the world's advanced level, and its significance cannot be overstated. However, there is still a lot of debate within the Air Force about how big the role of the fourth-generation aircraft is in combat, after all, this thing is too new, and there are only dozens of them in the entire Blue Star.
It is said that the F25 of the Rice Kingdom slinged all the third-generation aircraft in the Red Flag Confrontation Exercise, with a score of a staggering 0-50, but it is also said that the Rafale, the third-and-a-half-generation fighter of the Gallic State, successfully killed an F25 after entering the dog fight. Since this information is strictly confidential, the Air Force does not know what to do with this new mass killer.
After a fierce discussion, everyone came to a unanimous opinion, whether it is a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip away, only after the actual combat confrontation, do we know where the fourth-generation aircraft is, so there is this confrontation exercise, the red side is the elite drawn from various units of the air force, all of them are the winners of the previous golden helmet competition, and the two carrier-based aircraft squadrons of the naval aviation also joined the red side of the unit.
The blue side has only two new fighters, one long and one wingman.
The battlefield setting is also completely favorable to the red side, the red side simulates the territorial air defense side, so there is a ground radar, and there are AWACS aircraft to cooperate with the operation, while the blue side simulates the attacking side of the United States, without any ground and air support.
At eleven o'clock in the morning, the confrontation officially began, and the Red Army dispatched three flying squadrons, each squadron of three flying squadrons, including a long plane and a wingman, a total of eighteen fighters, including the latest 10C fighters, 11D fighters and two 30MKK multi-role fighters of naval aviation, as well as a ZDK03 AWACS aircraft for command in the air.
Such a lineup was pulled out, which frightened the leaders of the troops who were observing, "It's too small a fuss," said an old general with two stars on his shoulder, "This posture can crush all the air power of more than half of China's neighbors."
"Against two fighters, as for it".
"Lion Bo Rabbit, but also do your best, I don't think there is anything wrong with this, after all, in the face of the latest fourth-generation aircraft, it is not too cautious at all."
Fierce debate broke out in the exercise headquarters, and most of the opinions felt that such a lineup was a bit too exaggerated, and from the large screen of the exercise headquarters, you could see twelve light points representing fighter planes, with a fan arch guarding the command center of the red side, and above the command center, there was also a yellow light point representing early warning aircraft.
"With such a defensive lineup, even if the F25 of the United States comes, it will be helpless," said a representative from the Air Force. Obviously, his words represent the voices of many people, and there is a chorus of echoing voices on the side.
Suddenly, the voice of the blue plane's long plane came from the command center, "We have entered the attack position, request to attack," and all communications between the red and blue fighters and the command center can be received synchronously through satellites in the exercise headquarters. BLU Command replied, "Attack allowed", "Roger, 01 has completed the attack".
There was an uproar in the exercise headquarters, what is the situation, where are the blue fighters, they are all attacked, why can't they see anything.
Two minutes later, a cold computer-synthesized voice came from the exercise headquarters, "The red AWACS aircraft has been attacked by two medium-range air-to-air missiles, it is confirmed that it has been shot down, please withdraw from the battle", and the yellow light point representing the AWACS aircraft on the screen was also extinguished.
The command of the blue side gave an order "to confirm that the red AWACS aircraft has been shot down and to attack freely", "received".
In the following minutes, the exercise headquarters turned into various stand-up comedy performances by the Red pilots.
"Report, report, I've been locked by missiles, request for circumvention",
"Report, report, I've been locked, request to launch jamming bombs",
"Report, I have been locked, but I can't confirm the location of the enemy",
"003, you've been shot down, please quit the fight", the cold computerized voice sounded again,
"005, you have been shot down, please exit the fight",
"Report, report, I have gone to speculate on the location of the enemy, nothing has been found on the radar screen, request for a visual search",
"I've been visually searching for more than three minutes, and there are no finds, reports, reports, attack alerts, I'm locked."
”。。。“
Ten minutes later, there was only a lone point of light left on the screen, striviating around like a headless fly.
"Report, all our long-range weapons have been used, according to the assessment of the combat system, there is no need to use cannons to attack at visual distance, request to withdraw from the battle", this is the report of the new model fighter of the blue side, it turns out, it is not the level of the remaining red fighter, let alone the big life, just because the blue side of the missile is finished...
There was silence in the exercise headquarters, 0:18, this is the answer sheet handed over by the third-generation aircraft, the third-generation and a half-generation aircraft against the fourth-generation aircraft, even if everyone present had made sufficient preparations and had psychological expectations, because theoretically, it is conceivable that the stealth fighter will beat all three generations or even three and a half generations because of its huge advantage in detection distance.
However, seeing a full eighteen of the latest fighters, plus early warning aircraft and ground radars, in less than ten minutes, without even seeing the shadow of others, they were completely lost, and the only survivor was still because other people's missiles ran out, such an impact was unprecedented.
"The sky of the future is the sky of stealth fighters," muttered an old general.
It is obviously difficult for the Red Command to accept such a result, "Don't we have the latest type of meter-wave radar, and quantum radar, capable of detecting stealth aircraft",
"Yes, there is also a multi-beam phased array radar, after it is put into use, stealth will not have such a big advantage."
Taking into account the requirements of the red side, and also to test the maneuverability of the stealth aircraft, the exercise command agreed to the request of the red side, "open the dragon cypress lens", and the blue army command issued an order to the new model of fighters, "report the remaining fuel volume, whether it needs to be refueled in the air".
"The lens has been opened, the afterburner has not been opened in the previous battle, the fuel is sufficient, and there is no need for refueling in the air".
As the new model fighter opened the dragon cypress lens, two light spots immediately appeared on the radar screen, and just above the lucky 10C, the command let out another exclamation, obviously, the poor 10C didn't realize that the two "enemy planes" were eyeing him above.
Before exiting the battle, the two squadrons of Red Army fighters were re-put into the battlefield after air refueling, and the surviving 10C fuel level alarmed and had to return, 2v12, and it was a battle between the fourth-generation aircraft and the third-generation aircraft that gave up the stealth advantage, this time, can the Red Army get back to the field?
Of course not, in the face of the absolute generation difference, there is no fluke. There is no new model of fighter without any external plug-in, even if the stealth performance is not considered, in terms of aerodynamic shape, it also has a huge advantage, coupled with the existence of EODAS (optoelectronic distributed aperture system), with the use of a new generation of phased array radar and glass cockpit, the entire battlefield is completely transparent in the eyes of the new generation of fighter pilots.
The magazine is opened, the medium-range/short-range missile rolls out, locks/launches, and this scene is constantly playing out on the battlefield. On the contrary, even if the third/third-generation half-generation fighter locks on the new type of fighter, the new fighter can get rid of the lock after a simple maneuver, and throughout the combat process, the new model fighter almost always maintains a supersonic state, according to the classical theory of energy maneuver, the new fighter can seize the advantageous attack position without losing too much energy.
In rare cases, 10C relies on its own instantaneous hovering capability advantage, using the numerical advantage, and locally forming a two-to-one or three-to-one situation, but every time it arrives, the new model fighter will use its supersonic cruise performance to directly accelerate out of the battlefield, and the third-generation or third-generation half-generation fighter wants to catch up with the new supersonic fighter, it must need to turn on the afterburner.
And the general modern fighter, open the afterburner, the engine working time is at most three to five minutes, remember that the MiG-25 Firefox fighter after finding out that it was tracked by the missile, immediately turned on the afterburner and fled at a speed of Mach 3.2, even the missile could not catch up, of course, after going back, the engine of the MiG-25 was also scrapped.
So the third-generation machine can only catch up with the fourth-generation aircraft by turning on the afterburner, but even if it catches up, what can it be, people haven't turned on the afterburner, so once the fourth-generation aircraft leaves the battlefield, the third-generation/third-generation half-generation can only watch it, and the terrible thing is that if it is not for cheating to make people open the Longbai lens, even if you want to watch it, you can't see it.
As the Red Army fighters continued to be locked, hit, locked and hit, on the big screen of the exercise command center, there were fewer and fewer light spots representing the Red Army planes, until the last Red Army fighter withdrew from the battle, and the computer of the exercise command headquarters still did not judge that the blue planes had suffered any damage.
The Red Army troops finally realized that the U2 of the United States was like entering a no-man's land, of course, after the introduction of SM surface-to-air missiles, the U2 was shot down a few, but SR71, this legendary three-three artifact, but in the sky over Huaguo and Mao Xiong came and went freely (30,000 meters altitude, Mach 3 speed), at that time, the powerlessness of the Chinese Air Force was really felt by the Red Army.
But fortunately, this sense of powerlessness is caused by his own people (the Blue Army), not the United States, so the sense of powerlessness is not enough. How relieved I am, "Soon, we will also have such a big killer." A large group of generals with stars on their shoulders stared at each other as if they were looking at enemies, not colleagues in front of them, but competitors equipped with new models of fighters!
The final score was no surprise, 0:12, plus the previous 0:18, the total score was a dazzling 0:30, the only survivor, or the other people's missiles were finished, and they did not risk using cannons to attack, otherwise with the maneuverability advantage of the new model of fighters, it is almost certain that they will be shot down.
Wang Yinan witnessed this confrontation and watched the Red Army go from full confidence at the beginning, to surprise and surprise later, to panic and even powerlessness at the end. "If you fall behind, you will be beaten" is really a wise saying.
The biggest winner of this confrontation is the 116 Institute, the new type of fighter from the beginning of a new equipment, directly rising to the strategic level of weapons, 2000 km combat radius, as long as deployed at coastal airfields, absolutely can control all the airspace of the second island chain, as long as the results of this exercise are revealed intentionally or unintentionally, the US aircraft carrier is estimated to no longer dare to enter the 2000 km control range, that is to say, even if there is no aircraft carrier, China's absolute national defense circle is also the combat radius of the new type of fighter has the final say.
Of course, Rong and the company as a close cooperation unit of the 116 Institute, also got a lot of benefits, and a large bonus on the way not to mention, the new version of the flight control system development requirements, Yang Chief Engineer also gave Rong and the company in advance, as for a certain Hoy firm cooperation with Rong He, that is the proper meaning of the question.
The exercise will continue, and the Air Force and Navy also want to take this opportunity to see how to explore the tactics of the fourth-generation aircraft and how to deal with it.
And Wang Yinan was called to the southeast coast by a phone call.
