This arrangement, it can be regarded as taking care of the "airport defender" nickname of the MiG-29, in fact, this statement is somewhat selfish, according to the conventional process, the fighters on both sides are full of fuel tanks in the air, and the J-10 twin planes that leave the ground first hovering in the sky are waiting for the grouping, and they can also burn off some fuel, and the thrust weight of the whole aircraft is a little cheaper than that of the second lieutenant.

Of course, the problem of the short range of the MiG-29 has been solved to a certain extent on the improved M-type, and now the difference between the internal fuel range of the two fighters is not large, which means that they are standing on the same running line in this regard.

After taking off, flying with two sharp "Raptors", piloting the MiG-29M fighter with the number blue 09, Long Yun looked around from the cockpit of the MiG machine for a long time, and flew the plane for the first time in the sky above the motherland in the parallel world, next to two J-10 fighters that had never been seen before, he controlled the landline to maintain a stable route, while carefully observing the flight conditions of the "Raptor" fighter, of course, at this time, Wang Weiguo and Zheng Bin who were flying flat were the same.

In Beijing in early spring, the westerly sun shone on the smooth skin of the fighter planes in the afternoon, and after taking off, the formation flew southward at an altitude of about 2,500 meters, and the large blue sky outside the cockpit was very familiar to Long Yun.

It seems that, like the capital Beijing in the real world, the growing industry and the increasingly noisy urban activities have made the sky in this world also full of dust, although it is not yet the time for a sandstorm, but as far as the eye can see, the lower edge of a large clear blue sky is still gray and unclear, and it is obvious that the air quality on the surface is not good.

As a VVS ace pilot, he has previously fought in the skies of Central Europe, the Caucasus and the Far East. Under the changes of sky, time and weather, the scene presented is also varied.

Flying with the wingman on the side of the "Raptor", Long Yun observed from the perspective of Viktor Rezenov, and he had to admit that the surface atmosphere of the "parallel motherland" was not very good, just like the current flying plane. After flying over the thin layer of dust, the sky above and around me was as blue as a wash, as if the environment was not bad, but if you looked down, it would suddenly leak the filling.

I lamented the air quality in the capital, and then, according to the arrangement of the confrontation process. The four fighters entered a group of predetermined routes and movements of the formation flight, each group of two planes remained in the same formation, and the two groups of two planes did not need to follow closely, in this way to give the pilots a certain understanding of the basic performance of the fighters.

If the test flight in the sky is to understand the flight performance of the fighter, it is probably most efficient to directly let the pilot fly around the sky.

However, the J-10 in the base and the MiG-29 that visited did not have a two-seater. On the other hand, there is a confrontation drill immediately after the pilot, so that the pilot can give full play to his real strength by piloting his own mount, and the combat effectiveness of the test fighter is relatively objective and real.

Under the requirements of the process, according to every call from the tower, Major Wang Weiguo and wingman Zheng Bin controlled the J-10 into the standard navigation subject, and the two "Raptors" first turned on the afterburner and came to a period of horizontal acceleration. Then the nose is raised, enters a constant climb at a large angle of attack, continues to be raised and then leveled, and then the push rod dives to complete a high-strength maneuver with a surface speed of 600 kilometers.

After a slight adjustment of the state. Seeing that the actions of the two MiG-29Ms next to them were basically synchronized, the two J-10s separated from each other on the left and on the right, and made a group of defensive barrel rolls in a row.

At an altitude of about 3,000 meters, it was not difficult to roll a barrel with a large radius, so the PLALAF pilot immediately pulled the rod vigorously and changed it directly, entering a full afterburner spiral climb with a track spacing of about 2,000 meters; And in the nearby airspace not far away. Just got out of a set of defensive barrel rolls. The two powerful MiG-29Ms also have a blue tail and enter a set of ascending turns with an overload of about 5G. The difference between the SEPs of the two fighters gradually became apparent at this time.

The MiG, which spiraled and climbed along a spiral track, had an superior thrust-to-weight ratio and adopted a central lifting body configuration, flew higher and higher. It first reached the predetermined altitude of 5,500 meters, with a vacuum speed of about 800 km/h, and the two J-10s that climbed with all their strength were still half a beat behind.

After roughly observing the difference between the vertical maneuverability of the two models, the two groups of fighters entered a horizontal circle with large overloads, chasing each other in a manner similar to a single-ring head-on.

Since it is a test, not a real combat confrontation, at the beginning of the two groups of twin aircraft occupy the position of the opponent's 39th line, from the perspective of the PLAF landline, the two camouflage-painted MIG-29M in the sky in the blue sky are quite recognizable, Wang Weiguo called the wingman in the channel, reminded Zheng Bin to pay attention to follow, and then pulled the rod to pedal the rudder, pushed the throttle valve forward, and let the landline enter the stable Dìng hovering of high G overload after pressing the slope.

According to the general requirements of circling confrontation, in order to leave a way back, the two sides often do not directly pull the rod to the end as soon as they come up and enter the instantaneous disk with continuous loss of storage speed, but will observe the opponent's movements, and determine the response strategy in combination with the landline situation and confrontation situation.

Now, this is the case with the two groups of fighters in the sky, or deliberately simulating this situation, with the fuselage smoke caused by the violent maneuver, the J-10 fighter with a distorted white track behind it quickly reached the maximum stable angular velocity, and the MiG-29M twin aircraft in the direction of the 39th line are also the same, for a while, the pilots in the cockpit realized that the J-10 hovering ability nicknamed "Raptor" is quite good.

Isn't it, under the current conditions of altitude and speed, both sides are mounted in air combat, and the stability of a single-engine delta-wing fighter is actually inseparable from the MiG-29 that focuses on medium and low altitude and low-speed maneuvering, and it is not easy to do this!

In the high G circle, Long Yun, who was driving the MIG-29M fighter, barely looked up at the sky, and the position of the gray figure in the dim field of vision did not change for a while, such a scene, as he expected, and at the same time a little unexpected, it seems that the results of the "No. 10 Project" in the parallel world are indeed slightly different from the real world.

At the very least, as a veteran pilot who pilots the "Raptor" to fight in the sky, Long Yun is so familiar with the performance of the J-10A that he can't be more familiar.

In terms of stability at medium and low altitudes, it has to be said that the "Raptor", which is at a disadvantage on the SEP, has a little gap compared to the MIG-29, but in the parallel world, this gap no longer exists, obviously because the J-10 has a larger wing area than the A type, and more obvious canard wing enhancement measures, in addition, there are probably some improvements in the empty weight of the whole aircraft.

Next, the two sides competed for the instantaneous disc characteristics on the premise of ensuring flight safety, and gave full play to the extreme performance of the landline to strive for a position.

From the stable disk to the instantaneous disk, the flight status of the fighter is very different, but there is no strict distinction for the pilot, some changes in the amplitude of the lever can lead to different hovering states, after receiving the tower order, Wang Weiguo, who piloted the J-10 long plane, immediately took action, he first slightly reduced the angle of attack, and at the same time pushed the throttle valve forward to the top, jumped upward in a full afterburner state to accumulate a little height, and then pressed the slope from the new and pedaled the rudder.

With the pilot's quick maneuvering, the gray "Raptor" in the sky immediately changed the direction of the nose of the aircraft, and cut into the inner side of the circling track like a sharp shuttle dart flying against the wind.

From the stable disk to the instantaneous disk with a higher G value, the centrifugal force soon made the major black, but in just a few seconds, the position of the two sides changed, and the two MIG-29M that also received the call and entered the instantaneous disk did not rotate slowly, but the gap with the J-10 with a canard layout was widened.

Not only that, in a confrontation with the ability of the instantaneous disk, the MIG-29M long plane that rushed in front continued to draw a fairly standard arc track, but the wingman who followed it seemed to be a little inaccurate, and the gray-green fighter with the number blue 11 cut very decisively at the beginning, but soon lost altitude due to the violent loss of energy, and the height difference was opened up with the long plane hovering in front of it.

The maximum angular velocity of the fighter in different flight states is different, and the pilot has no way to judge whether the landline is currently stable or instantaneous, and can only control it by observing the altimeter, airspeed gauge and personal feelings.

But now, it is obvious that whether it is the partner formed by Viktor Rezenov and his comrades-in-arms, or the major Wang Weiguo and his comrade-in-arms Zheng Bin sent by the Chinese side, the two groups of pilots know their cars well, Wang Weiguo has been challenging the limit from the very beginning, despite the black eyes in front of him, he still relied on the IRST system in the nose of the J-10 to try to capture the MiG-29M twin aircraft at ten o'clock, and strive to complete a firing window sufficient to launch a combat missile.

In a simple comparison of circling capabilities, in a comparison of the maximum value of the instantaneous disk, the J-10 with canard wings and agile movements can be regarded as a point back, although hard indicators such as climb rate are not as good as the MiG-29 with a higher thrust-to-weight ratio, but it is similar to the latter in horizontal maneuverability and flight quality.

More importantly, thanks to the high lift characteristics provided by the close-coupled canard wing and the abundant aerodynamic force given by the enlarged delta wing, the J-10 has some advantages when turning sideways in the pressure slope and hovering in a very small radius. (To be continued)
