In addition, after the afternoon confrontation, the victory or defeat of the two teams will be decided, and then there will be a press conference, which is also a key battlefield for media people from all walks of life to grab positions and discover materials.

Team supporters and media were in action, and in the players' lounge inside the separation line, the players from both teams were ready to sign the match records.

No. 01 machine, J-10A, player Long Yun;

No. 02, J-10A, player Liu Wei;

No. 03 aircraft, J-10A, player Zhou Xiaodong;

Unit 04, J-10A, player Bian Chao......

One by one, the main models of the "Chenlong" are only the J-10A and the newly joined Su-27BM, the latter has not appeared in today's game, and it seems to be a little monotonous, but compared with the uniformity of the models, the mounts and mission plans of the four "Raptors" are different.

On the fighter configuration table signed and confirmed by the contestants, the No. 01 J-10A of the first brother of "Chenlong" is equipped with two PL-12 and four PL-8C air-to-air missiles, and No. 03 is four PL-12 and two PL-8C.

Compared with their comrades-in-arms who specialize in air superiority, Liu Wei and Bian Chao's No. 02 and 04 "Raptors" also carry several air-to-air missiles, but there are four more air-to-face ammunition with dark green in the front half and gray in the back half on the belly hardpoint, and the bullet body is slender. There were a few pretty rudimentary white characters on it. This is the newly procured air-to-surface ammunition for competition purposes recently procured by the "Chenlong". One of the models in the "Thunderstone-6" series, the warhead is a GPS-guided bomb with a 100-kilogram conventional bomb body.

GPS-guided bomb, a low-cost, high-precision air-to-surface weapon in the new century, is much more accurate than the traditional free-fall bomb, and is also significantly better than the inertial bomb, and the cost is lower than the laser-guided/infrared-guided bomb with similar accuracy.

Of course. The role of such a weapon that relies on satellite positioning signals on the modern battlefield is uncertain, unless China, the United States, and the Soviet Union have GNSS (Global_Navigation_Satellite_System, Global Satellite Navigation System) that operates autonomously, which can ensure that stable positioning signals can be obtained in wartime. If you don't want the bomb to work, it's as simple as providing a GNSS jammer to the defending side or even cutting off the satellite signal. It would degenerate these precision-guided weapons into a pile of traditional tin bombs, which were basically blindfolded.

It is precisely because of such a concern that low-cost, high-hit GPS-guided bombs. The development ideas of various countries are also relatively clear.

In today's world, any country with an independent GNSS system, such as China's "Beidou-2", Russia's "Glonass" and the United States' GPS, will vigorously develop GPS-guided bombs and research corresponding jamming technologies. Countries and regions that do not have autonomous GNSS systems, such as the sad old Europe, have not yet fully entered the state of operation, and can only report a complex attitude towards this weapon.

Of course, the situation on the battlefield is one thing, and in the arena of aviation competition, unless there is an explanation in the map setting indicating that the target is equipped with a corresponding GPS jammer, the team can generally use GPS-guided weapons without any scruples.

The rules are like this, as for the specific positioning signals used, the Eastern League teams have relatively more choices, "Beidou-2" or "Glonass" can be, in fact, the GPS of the Americans, and even the "Galileo" of the European Community can also be used, after all, the qiē settings in the airspace of the battle are all virtual, even if the satellite signals of these systems cannot be received on the field, the guided weapons launched can still hit the target - if the opponent does not have GPS interference measures.

In the first match of the IFT National Trials, the map of the pre-match draw between "Chenlong" and "Red Rock" was set as a flat river, and each side had a "soft target" to protect or destroy.

Specific to the setting of the target, the description of "plan 2", the target site itself has no electromagnetic/infrared radiation characteristics, no electronic interference and hard defense means, for such a target, GPS bombs are more than enough, provided that the target can be found and attacked, the specific ammunition power, according to the rules of the competition, as long as the soft target is hit to a certain range of dù will be judged to be destroyed, probably dozens of GSH-23-2 shells, warhead specifications of 100 kilograms of "Leishi-6-100" is completely sufficient.

Because of this, the target itself is easy to manage, and according to Zhou Xiaodong's plan, it is completely sufficient to separate two of the four "Raptors" to mount the "Thunderstone-6".

In addition, a set of tactical plans formulated by him was to lead a J-10A mounted "Leishi-6" by himself and Long Yun, and form two multi-task teams to attack separately, and his No. 03 and Bian Chao's No. 04 were deployed at medium and high altitudes to control the overall situation, and while focusing on searching for targets, they would take into account the protection of their own ground targets, and once they found the "Hongyan" fighters, they would immediately act together to intercept them, and at the same time try to create opportunities for the search and attack of Long Yun's twin planes.

Battles in the sky are of course ever-changing, but once the additional tasks of ground attack are stacked, the situation becomes even more complicated, and how to fight can only be carried out on the field.

The time was close to two o'clock in the afternoon, and as soon as the airspace was temporarily cleared for the competition, the roar of the WS-10B engines gradually rose, and the sharp "Raptors" accelerated in a glide, and soon left the runway with their heads held high in turn, and lifted off into the air in a rather neat multi-plane formation, leaving the sight of everyone on the ground.

Four fighters have taken off one after another, in the training base with ample runway conditions, several J-10A of "Chenlong" still adopted a steady long-wingman two-plane take-off mode, Long Yun and Liu Wei's No. 01 and No. 02 planes went first, because the tactical plan was to enter the combat airspace from a low altitude, the two of them did not stop for a moment after taking off and flew away, and the later No. 03 and No. 04 planes then took off, and after taking off, they climbed all the way to an altitude of 7,000 meters and flew to the war zone.

Four J-10A, two low-altitude and two high-altitude, have different deployment postures, but the tasks performed are almost the same.

Control No. 01 "Raptor" jumped into the blue sky with his head held high, bathed in the bright afternoon sun, Long Yun in the cockpit, and controlled the fighter's movements both skillfully and calmly, he led his old partner Liu Wei to rise into the air and enter a straight line of gentle climbing, confirmed the direction of entering the battle airspace against the navigation map, and called Liu Wei on the radio, so that he did not have to worry too much about the threat in the sky and concentrate on preparing for an air-to-plane attack.

After a long absence, the "Raptor" is once again piloted into the air to fight, the fighter plane is still the same, but the mood of the young people is very different.

Flying in the field of the national selection competition, Long Yun was not worried about the outcome of this competition, he felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart, feeling that this was slightly different from the fierce battle in the long sky, while turning on the radar, switching to the anti-air mode to prepare for operation, after entering the battle airspace, he turned on the antenna, and carefully searched the large sky in front of him.

He hasn't played a game in such a long time, and in the first game of the tryouts, can he win a heart-wrenching victory?

This problem, not only Long Yun himself is thinking, is paying attention to this game "Chenlong" supporters, the audience and even the media reporters are also very concerned, for this legendary body, the strength of the unpredictable "Chenlong" captain and founder, after the absence of the qualifiers rematch, everyone can't help but have a little curiosity and expectation, this once faded out of people's sight of the "Chenlong" brother, what kind of play will there be today?

"Victory, or defeat", many fans are no longer thinking about this issue, and the topic they are discussing is "how will Brother Long win this one", of course, Long Yun, who rushed to the arena, does not know for the time being.

Driving the plane and playing with his teammates, the fighting situation is no longer a two-on-two in the qualifiers, let alone a person who has been accustomed to wandering out in the two worlds, Long Yun's combat ideas have not been completely adjusted, he reluctantly suppressed the impulse of "going alone and abusing the whole audience", and began to seriously think about a question, in the selection arena that needs to be coordinated, a "four-on-four" competition, how should he act.

Tactics may still be a little unfamiliar, but since there is a seasoned Zhou Xiaodong, although he is the captain, it is also a very reasonable choice to follow the commander's orders.

Accustomed to fighting single-handedly, now into a confrontation with a very different style, the opponent in the clear sky did not let Long Yun wait too long, not long after entering the battle airspace, the number of landlines jù chain received the message of No. 03 "Raptor", the two J-10A patrolling at high altitude found a distant target, the number of two, the height of 5,500 meters, it is speculated that this should be the "Hongyan" responsible for air defense interception of the two fighters, but the specific model is not yet clear.

The target appeared, and according to the previous rhythm of the battle, Long Yun's No. 01 machine would accelerate and rush to kill, directly attacking this group of twin machines.

However, now, since it is a team battle, the situation of the two sides is still unclear, and the "Chenlong" planes have not yet found the ground target on the "Hongyan" side, in order to make a steady plan, Zhou Xiaodong quickly made a decision, calling a group of low-altitude J-10A to be covert and standby, not to randomly turn on the radar irradiation, and he pulled the rod to turn sideways, and the No. 04 machine of Bian Chao was separated from the left and right.
