On the flight deck of the Jiangsu ship, Xia Yu controlled the J-15, under the command of the ground staff, drove the plane into the take-off position, and as soon as it was ready, Xia Yu signaled to take off, and then with the help of the catapult, the J-15 suddenly jumped forward, quickly increasing the airspeed to 270 kilometers per hour.

At the position of the ship island, a group of pilots watched the J-15 rush out of the deck at a very fast speed, and then sank down, and actually disappeared below the deck.

What about airplanes? I didn't see the plane climb up, everyone was shocked, why didn't they get up, could it be that there was a mistake and it was about to fall into the sea? The ground crew on the deck were also shocked, and the people who were closer on the deck were even more crazy and rushed to the end of the runway, they had to use their eyes to confirm what was happening.

Without waiting for everyone's fear to fade, Xia Yu appeared in everyone's eyes again, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, but they were still worried about Xia Yu, so Xia Yu was actually less than 3 meters away from the sea at the moment, and the agitated air flow even drew a faint white line directly on the sea surface.

"Swift, please check the situation." In the CIC combat command center, the communication soldier sister paper immediately contacted Xia Yu, because I don't know whether the plane malfunctioned and made Xia Yu unable to climb and could only fly at this altitude, or because this was the reason for Xia Yu's operation, in short, this flight state is not normal now, and CIC must confirm the situation.

"I'm flying at an ultra-low altitude skimming the sea." Xia Yu's answer made everyone else breathe a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't a plane failure.

"Understood, please be careful." Since there were no accidents, the communication soldier sister paper did not continue to ask.

The content of Xia Yu's call with CIC can also be heard by other pilots on the island, and the combat information chain has been connected, so it is all synchronous communication content, knowing that Xia Yu has no accidents, everyone can relax at the same time, and some people have begun to think about what Xia Yu's tactical choice is.

"I think Instructor Xia should be planning to sweep at an ultra-low altitude, using sea clutter to interfere with the judgment of the opponent's early warning aircraft, and be able to achieve the maximum range of approach." Li Chenzhong analyzed: "The fighter plane is less than three meters away from the sea, my God, this is almost playing with life. ”

"Xia Yu, this kid is bold and careful, but this tactical choice is too risky." Chen Yongliang shook his head on the side and said, "This is the sea, if there is a sudden big wave, it will collide." ”

The others on the side nodded one after another, if it was themselves, they might not really have the courage to dare to fly like this, the speed is hundreds of kilometers per hour, and the height difference from the sea surface is less than three meters. Not to mention that as long as the joystick shakes slightly, it is possible to directly lead to fall into the sea, and the weather factor alone makes people unguardable.

This is the sea surface, no wind can rise three feet of waves of the sea, the closer to the sea surface, the more unstable the air flow, especially today's waves are about 0.5 to 1 meter, it is a relatively large wave, the impact on the airflow is more obvious, even if there is no low-altitude turbulence directly to shoot the plane into the sea, the disturbed air is easy to make the aircraft's flight attitude become unstable, and these factors are fatal to the aircraft in the ultra-low altitude flight at an altitude of only less than three meters.

The sigh of the other pilots on the Jiangsu ship, Xia Yu didn't know, maybe even if he knew, he didn't care, this was the tactic he chose, just like Li Chenzhong thought, Xia Yu planned to use ultra-low-altitude flight to break through the battle group of the American aircraft carrier, but this is only the first step, using the curvature of the earth, the radar on the sea surface cannot find low-altitude targets fifty kilometers away, and even if it is an early warning aircraft in the air, scanning to 370 kilometers away is almost the limit, Xia Yu is going to use this kind of madman-like low-altitude raid, The maximum range dù is close to the American aircraft carrier.

The biggest threat to low-altitude sea-skimming flights, in Xia Yu's view, is not the waves, nor the weather, but the United States' air early warning aircraft, although it was over-the-horizon working mode at the beginning, but Xia Yu's radar was not turned on, and now he relies on his own side of the early warning aircraft to provide combat numbers.

In order to support Xia Yu's actions, the Air Police 2000 even maintained the monitoring of the American early warning aircraft at the request of Xia Yu.

Flying quickly against the surface of the sea, Xia Yu quickly approached in the direction of the USS George Washington. Flying at such a low distance at such a fast speed, even Xia Yu couldn't be careless, terrain radar was almost useless in this environment, Xia Yu relied on vision and experience to operate.

There are still 420 kilometers away from the George Washington, Xia Yu has not yet been discovered, through the monitoring of the American early warning aircraft by the guò air police 2000, Xia Yu controls the other party's dynamics at any time, when the American early warning aircraft turns around and flies to the other side of the George Washington aircraft carrier, Xia Yu immediately decides, opens the afterburner, and directly conducts supersonic flight.

When breaking through the sound barrier at a height of 3 meters from the sea surface, there was a loud bang, and some small fish near the water surface were even directly stunned, turned up their bellies and floated on the water, but the air density at low altitude was too high, even if the afterburner was turned on for supersonic speed, the speed of the J-15 could only be maintained at about Mach 1.8, and it was difficult to rise again.

On the American AWACS plane, the radar operator suddenly noticed on the screen that a bright spot was approaching at a very fast speed, and he immediately began to pay attention to this bright spot, and after looking at it for a while, the more he looked at it, the more confused he became, so he had to call the analyst over and confirm his opinion.

"What do you think it is?" The radar operator pointed to a bright spot that came and went and said, "I thought it was a ship at first, but this speed is too fast for it to be a boat." ”

"Have you ever considered this an airplane?" The analyst asked.

"I've thought about it." The radarman shook his head and said, "But the detected information shows that it is a surface target, and if the plane is flying at a low altitude, the altitude is too low." ”

"Could it be sea clutter?" The analyst was also puzzled, and after finishing speaking, he shook his head and denied it: "The sea clutter should not be so regular, let's treat it as an unknown aircraft." ”

"That's all there is to it." The radarman depressed and began to contact the George Washington, but then, the radarman pointed to the screen and exclaimed: "It's an airplane, this is definitely an airplane!" It's climbing. ”
