0209 Air combat in the new era, fighter jets are outdated
"Grass Pheasant No. 2, 99 bullets have normal trajectory ......"
"Grass Pheasant No. 4, 99 bombs are 30 kilometers away from enemy aircraft......
"This is Grass Pheasant No. 1, No. 2 and No. 4 climbing monitoring, keep a distance, me and No. 3 keep altitude, ready to make up shots."
The two medium-range bombs known to the Japanese as the 99 Sankai were fired at the target with a steady trail, which relieved the pilots of the four Japanese Hawks and the pilots of the two Japanese Hiden planes attached to the rear.
Since Japan was revoked from the UNOC a week ago, and according to the statement of the Star Federation, the two sides are in a state of war, and Japan has fallen into a turbulent flow of public opinion. Although the prime minister has resigned, the successor has no intention of bowing to Starlink.
The left-wing faction at its core staged massive demonstrations to protest the government's perfunctory prevarication on the issue of the hydrogen bomb and its international imprudence. The right-wing relied on the media to set off a wave of public opinion, claiming that Japan had been betrayed by the United States, and that Starlink was an agent of China and wanted to drag Japan into an abyss of no catastrophe.
After all, Starlink is not Huaxia, or even a country, and the so-called "declaration of war" does not mean that it will be done immediately. In addition to activating the air defense system and making every effort to alert the "orbital bombardment" that the Star Alliance may launch, most of the energy has been focused on dealing with the trade war launched by the Star Alliance.
Starlink did not block Japan's imports of energy, food, and basic raw materials such as steel, and blocked raw materials for semiconductors, electronic components, and other high-tech components, and also relied on economic means such as acquisition.
At first, there were many companies that ignored Starlink, but with the release of Starlink, Starlink also continued to announce the blacklist, and various companies felt the pressure and gradually bowed to Starlink.
The Japanese government is suffering from a significant landslide in the export of high-tech industries, but it does not feel that it is a bone-breaker. At this time, the "fighter" of the Star Alliance appeared, and it seems that the Star Alliance is preparing to fight a real war?
If the war is confined to the atmosphere, although Japan is bound by the US-Japan security treaty and its military system is incomplete, but to deal with the cricket star alliance, politicians think it is not a piece of cake?
The pilots don't see it that way......
The astronauts who operate the spacecraft are basically selected from among the pilots, and there are many Japanese astronauts who have participated in UNOC activities before, such as the spacecraft that delivered the hydrogen bomb, which was operated by the astronauts of the Japanese group. Although the Stargate War was won, the transportation plan formulated could not be abandoned halfway, and sending these old-fashioned hydrogen bombs to Stargate was also to prepare for the possible next war.
Therefore, pilots have a natural affinity for what happens in space, and even Japanese pilots know much more about Starlink than the average person.
Younas's combat robots and spaceships are supported by the Star Alliance, and the Star Alliance special services have also been involved in the battle, and Younas are both pioneers of human space warfare. Both combat theory and weaponry are an era more advanced than the "surface people" who are bound by gravity and the atmosphere.
The only consolation is that whether it is a theory or a piece of equipment, it is only applicable to space, and it may not be bright in the atmosphere, maybe so......
What I saw in front of me made the pilots of Japan Eagle and Japan Hiden replace the "not necessarily" with an affirmative word in their hearts.
"After this battle, I'd better retire, it's really not worth working for such a government."
"Catapult! Abandon the machine! I really don't want anyone to get hurt! ”
"Die! The people of China! Not all Japanese have lost their samurai souls! ”
"It's a great pleasure that Japan is forbidden to develop nuclear weapons, otherwise Japan's chaebols, politicians and careerists would definitely destroy the whole world!"
The pilots of the four Japanese Hawks in front of them waited for the two fireworks to bloom, and their hearts were full of distracting thoughts.
The fireworks really exploded, but it was a little strange, like four small ones made up two big ones......
Grass Pheasant 1 in front of him was wondering, and the frightened shouts of the F35 pilot behind him sounded in the headphones.
"Missiles! There are missiles underneath! Avoid! ”
"This is Susa-1, and more than four missiles of unknown type are approaching!"
How can it be!?
Grass Pheasant No. 1 tapped the earphone, there was no radar warning, and then looked at the radar display, there was no signal.
After all, the F-15J is old, the F35 has a much stronger field of sight, and the Pheasant 1 did not hesitate to press the launch button of the infrared decoy and at the same time climb and maneuver.
"Grass Pheasant Team, ...... right away"
He also did not forget the duty of the captain, and was about to remind everyone that not far away, No. 3, who was flying with him, was hit by a phantom as fast as a white horse, and the back half of the fuselage was reduced to fragments in the fireworks.
Another phantom swept past his cockpit, the sweat had just flown out, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a bright light exploded under the nose, and the cockpit canopy was covered with fragments, and when his soul was scattered, the phantom that had missed the shot from the corner of his eye turned around and rushed down.
Pheasant 1 screamed in panic, reached under the gear, and pulled the catapult device. The hatch exploded, and the seat had just burst out of the plane, when another missile hit the back of the fuselage, blowing his plane in two.
The seat tumbled under the shock wave for a while, and only after finding balance did it open and separate. Grass Pheasant No. 1 saw the scene that made him cold again, and No. 2 and No. 4 behind him had also turned into two fireworks and were falling from the sky.
"It's that, it's ......"
While glad that he escaped death, Pheasant No. 1 was also churning with fear and unwillingness in his heart.
Smart missiles, which are obsolete from all old missiles, are a revolutionary new generation of weapons.
Its advanced point lies in the fact that it is equipped with machine intelligence and even subsidiary intelligence, which can identify targets like humans. Integrating the feature recognition of various signals such as optical, infrared, and radar, not only the traditional jamming methods are completely ineffective, but the guidance mode is also completely passive, and it cannot be effectively prevented except for naked eye and infrared detection.
If combined with terahertz radar, smart missiles become even more terrifying silent hidden weapons. At present, there is no effective response mechanism for terahertz radar detection, and fighters equipped with terahertz radar can add another layer of guidance mechanism to intelligent missiles, so that the missile identification and locking time is faster and more accurate.
As for other technologies, even if the smart missile follows the technology of the previous generation of missiles, such as the solid ramjet engine, relying on this advantage of not being able to interfere and cannot be perceived, it is also a radical progress.
With the development of UAVs and other technologies, fighters can first launch intelligent missiles carried by UAVs and send them to cruise in hidden areas of the theater, so that the launch envelope of missiles is greatly expanded, and fighters also have more flexible tactical options. The missiles that hit the four Japanese Hawks just now were all fired from below, and they must have relied on this method.
The two gray-black planes had already entered the visual range, flying slowly, if it weren't for the personal experience of Grass Pheasant 1, he would not have believed that it was this plane that knocked down their F-15J.
The two F-35s in the rear should challenge them again, but with such missiles, Pheasant 1 already knows the end.
After Xia Ming launched the EI system and neuron chip, the technology of smart missiles is almost mature. It is said that at that time, Xia Ming cooperated with Huaxia to install optical sensors and image recognition intelligence on the original infrared guided missile, which improved the anti-jamming capability to the level of "immune jamming" in one fell swoop.
At that time, Japan still thought that China was talking about it, and it was not until the United States, Israel, Russia, and other countries carried out research on smart missiles that they woke up to the fact that they had fallen behind.
What does a smart missile mean?
It means that air combat has entered a new era, and the close to fully autonomous missiles has further reduced the importance of the launch platform and further reduced the dependence on the performance of fighter jets. The introduction of terahertz radar will crush the traditional system in detection and fire control. The theory of energy maneuvering, and even the need for stealth, will become obsolete.
It is a pity that the Japanese government, under the rule of the chaebol, insisted on blocking EI and Tinder neuronal chips, and wanted to develop its own intelligent technology, but there has been no breakthrough. Militarily, there is a US-Japan alliance at the front, and I don't think it's so urgent.
As a result, four modernized F-15Js were wiped out by two slow-moving "civil aircraft".
In the Demon Dragon G23, the wingman combat officer sighed: "It's not refreshing enough, I haven't come back to the taste yet." ”
The battle officer of the long plane said coldly: "Fat electricity is here, be serious!" ”
"No kites! There aren't many throwing knives either! The wingman grumbled.
The long plane said resolutely: "The flying knife directly hits the plane, and the interception is on the inside line!" ”
"Can you rely on it?" The wingman is not very sure.
Changji hated iron and said: "The directional energy will be worse than the accuracy of the missile?" ”
This time, four AAM-4C medium-range missiles were fired, and after the missiles were launched, Hiden no longer moved forward, but turned the nose of the plane and distanced itself from the magic dragon. With Fatden's mobility, he didn't plan to play hand-to-hand combat, although the opponent's mobility seemed to be worse.
Grass Pheasant No. 1 has not yet fallen to the ground, watching the four faint white smoke rush towards the two enemy planes, both of which are close to within 10 kilometers, and the other party has not reacted, he can't help but feel nervous, the enemy has no missiles? Can you really win!?
The next moment, the four traces of smoke twisted crookedly, like unformed fireworks, and then disintegrated in the air, not even the fireworks were lit, silently turning into fragments and spilling into the sea.
"Laser! Laser! I know, and there will be this! ”
Pheasant No. 1 blushed and clenched his fists and shouted. The use of laser anti-missiles is a very mature technology, but it has not yet been used to counter air-to-air missiles, after all, it needs to have very accurate observation capabilities, and the launch platform must also have a high degree of flexibility.
However, if it is Starlink, it can't even use terahertz radar, it can be done directly with optical sensors and intelligent recognition, coupled with Char Heavy Industries' attainments in power armor and robots, it is not difficult to make lasers a mature means of anti-air-to-air missiles.
"Run! Run! You have no hope! ”
Grass Pheasant No. 1 raised his head and shouted, and sure enough, the two F35s did not make a superfluous move, and fled towards the north cleanly.
"Did you really run?" The wingman was puzzled, and Fat Den relied on his speed advantage to keep his distance from them and continue to attack with medium-range bullets.
"If you don't run, you will be hit by our kite again? They dare to bet that we have no missiles? The tone of the long-term combat officer was a little glad, he was also inexperienced and a little nervous, and dropped all the missiles mounted on the drone onto the four F-15Js.
"That's how you won?"
"It's so boring, but our credit is enough to enter the Starlink special service, right?"
"Do you want to fly a space battleship or a space fighter?"
"Of course, the bigger the better......"
The pilots of the two dragons were also chatting, and their tones were extremely relaxed, and they were almost spectators of this battle.
The wingman officer asked, "What's next?" Waiting for dozens or hundreds of planes to come around? ”
The combat officer of the long plane said: "If you go around, we also have backup." ”
On July 2, 2023, the air battle that broke out over the sea off Tokyo Bay gave the Japanese a blow to the head, and the extremely frightened Ministry of Defense tried to pull out all the fighters that could fight in the air, and the entire air defense system was operating at full strength for the sake of these two Starlink fighters.
At this time, a CH-53 Sea Stallion helicopter took off on a cargo ship that was passing through Yokosuka and preparing to enter the Tokyo Bay Port area, heading for the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police Department in Tokyo: Kasumigaseki 2-chome Ichiban-1, Chiyoda-ku. (To be continued.) )
