Chapter 166: Low-altitude sonic boom

Xia Yu, who was frantically sprinting towards the USS George Washington, was already less than 3 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier, and although the F18 that followed him began to irradiate with fire control radar, Xia Yu had completely ignored it, because it was impossible for the F18 to launch missiles at such a close range, and when the nose was pointing at his aircraft carrier.

Because even if the information fed back on the IFF is a friendly force, the F18 still can't lock and attack the aircraft carrier, and it is impossible to even fire with a cannon, the reason is very simple, the cannon doesn't need to be locked, but now the nose of the F18 is pointing at the USS George Washington, and a barrage is out, for the J-15, the target is small and maneuvering fast, and it may not be able to hit, but for the huge aircraft carrier hull, it is really a good target.

And at a distance of less than 3 kilometers, the aircraft carrier also has no way to take the J-15, there is no need to count on launching missiles, and when your missiles are locked into the air, the J-15 has swept over the head, as long as the altitude is reduced, the missile will not be able to attack the J-15 at all, and the only thing that can still be used is the last interception firepower such as close defense guns.

But Xia Yu is very smart, his sprint route is to take the close defense gun as the ultimate goal, so that the E2C early warning aircraft and the two F18 that followed behind Xia Yu were included in the barrage of the close defense artillery, once the fire is fired, it is not good that even his own plane will be shot down, if you don't want to make this kind of oolong, then you have to think about it.

But is there time to give the people on board the USS George Washington a good thought? Not at all!

At a distance of less than 3 kilometers, it only takes 4 seconds to sprint at a speed of Mach 2.2 to reach the aircraft carrier, and in such a short time, even if Xia Yu lets the F18 illuminate with fire control radar, whether it can be locked is two words.

Just when everyone thought that Xia Yu would fly directly over the aircraft carrier, Xia Yu suddenly opened the speed brake to slow down, still approaching the aircraft carrier at the same time, the airspeed dropped sharply, and the two F18s behind him couldn't react, and they jumped over Xia Yu's head, in order to avoid hitting their own aircraft carriers, the two F18s could only immediately deflect the ailerons, pull up the nose, and make a big turn maneuver to both sides to avoid it, and Xia Yu was 800 away from the aircraft carrier. Reduced his airspeed to Mach 0.8.

Seeing that the two F18s in front of him flashed away separately, and the distance was judged, Xia Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of playfulness, slightly adjusted the attitude of the J-15, and set the flight route next to the island of the USS George Washington, and immediately reopened the engine afterburner chamber for afterburner, and the roaring turbofan 10 immediately poured aviation kerosene, and quickly flew towards the USS George Washington with a huge roar.

In the bridge of the USS George Washington, there is no longer any need to continue to use binoculars to observe, and the top command of David Glick and other aircraft carriers are all directly observing the J-15 that is rushing towards them with the naked eye in the bridge. One by one, the face is pale, the flight route of the J-15 is no more obvious, it is the ship island, is the Chinese going to carry out suicide attacks?

Without weapons, the plane is not without threat, the cannon alone is enough for the island to eat, not to mention that if you want to learn the Japanese kamikaze and use the plane as a bomb, the power is also enough for the George Washington. David Glick and the others, who didn't understand what Xia Yu planned to do, could only watch nervously as the J-15 became faster and closer, waiting for the final verdict.

Of course, Xia Yu can't really fire with a cannon, or use a plane to hit the George Washington, in addition to weapons, supersonic fighters also have a means of soft killing, sonic boom, and Xia Yu plans to do so.

The J-15, which has been controlled in the transonic stage and has not completely broken through the speed of sound, is just as it approached the USS George Washington aircraft carrier, several sonic boom clouds like white fog flashed on the fuselage in a row, and in the high-pitched roar of the turbofan engine, the J-15 slashed at an altitude of only six or seven meters above the flight deck of the USS George Washington.

The huge engine sound and the sound of the wind were extremely noisy, so that all the deck staff still covered their ears even with silenced headsets, but what was really powerful was when Xia Yu's J-15 swept over the island of the USS George Washington, "boom", and there was a huge sonic boom like thunder.

Not only did the crew on the flight deck of the USS George Washington feel an unbearable thunder explode in their ears, but at the same time, the violently converging air also caused the planes docked on the entire deck to vibrate slightly, and the deck crew even felt that their hearts were beating wildly, and their bodies were trembling with the air.

Breaking through the sound barrier at a distance of less than five or six meters from the ship island, causing a sonic boom, the violently concussive air even the personnel in the ship island felt unbearable, the thick window glass "crackled" with the sound of the sonic boom, the whole piece was broken and scattered, and the manic air rushed into the ship island with a loud noise that was so harsh that it was unbearable at all, David Glick and other personnel who were in the ship island shouted one after another, covering their ears and leaning down, it seemed that only in this way could they feel better.

After breaking through the sound barrier, Xia Yu did not directly accelerate to escape from the USS George Washington, just as the sound exploded, Xia Yu immediately pulled the lever with all his might, and the dense air reacted immediately to the suddenly changed ailerons and elevators, the J-15 itself tilted at a 90° angle, the top of the cockpit was facing the island of the USS George Washington, the right wing was vertically facing the sea, and the belly that was suddenly raised sideways formed a huge air resistance, so that the J-15, which was originally at an angle of 90 ° to the aircraft carrier, changed its attitude almost instantly, It became parallel to the aircraft carrier.

Bearing an instantaneous overload of up to 11 Gs and a continuous 9G overload for a few seconds, Xia Yu made a maximum instantaneous corner disc and a minimum radius turn around the aircraft carrier of George Washington, decelerating instantly from the sonic area to make the J-15's fuselage creak, and the wings were even slightly bent.

The powerful overload force pressed Xia Yu the seat, and the tense muscles and air bags were instantly filled with gas-filled anti-load suits, helping Xia Yu resist the blood that was thrown to his limbs by inertia. With such a huge overload, Xia Yu didn't even have a complete black vision, he only felt a slight darkness in front of him, but he immediately recovered.

After completing this high-G maneuver, the J-15 controlled by Xia Yu went around the stern of the USS George Washington, and at this time, the F18 that had dodged to the right earlier also completed the turn and turned around, and the nose was just opposite Xia Yu. The pilot of the F18 didn't know what Xia Yu had just done, and was still hesitating whether to open fire to attack Xia Yu, when the pilot of the F18 was suddenly shocked to see the J-15 that had just skimmed over the aircraft carrier under the belly, suddenly opened a few movable hatches, and then the landing gear and tail hook of the J-15 were actually released.
