Chapter 229: Escape
Detonating is actually a fatal job, no pilot will detonate an attacking air-to-air missile, more often than not, parachuting is the right choice, and it is allowed, even required. Those who dare to play detoxification are generally only those who are full of adventurous spirit in their minds and are willing to fight with their lives, of course, most of such people in the army are thorny characters, including Xia Yu is one of them.
At a height of only 500 meters from the ground, more than 300 meters behind him is a fast-hitting missile, and when the speed itself is more than 320 kilometers, it doesn't even take a second, and the missile can fly directly to a distance sufficient to start the warhead, that is, it doesn't give Xia Yu time to think about how to do it at all, even if Xia Yu's reaction time is 10 times more than that of ordinary people.
Xia Yu didn't think about it, not letting himself be the first J-20 pilot to be beaten down became Xia Yu's only thought at that time, flying up or left and right to avoid the possibility of getting rid of missiles, this doesn't need to be thought about anymore, because this kind of judgment has become something deep in the bone marrow of a pilot.
What is the rate of climb of the J-20, the thrust of the engines, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the aircraft, the weight, altitude, speed of the current aircraft, how long does supersonic take with these conditions, and how much will it help if it is a downward dive? Xia Yu no longer calculates the contents, at the moment of flying out of the canyon, without the slightest hesitation, Xia Yu immediately deflected the ailerons and vertical tail, and almost immediately completed the tumbling J-20 dragged out two long spiral wingtip vortices and rushed directly to the ground, and the angle between the initial flip and the ground reached almost 50 degrees.
But compared with the missile behind the J-20, Xia Yu, who has to withstand nearly 9 G, this overload is not a problem at all, and the only thing that makes the missile feel the pressure is the interference of the complex terrain on the seeker. Although these interferences caused by the downward view have a relatively limited impact on the advanced seeker, they are one of the important help that Xia Yu needs.
"Bang bang bang" Xia Yu continued to throw decoy bombs, at a height of less than ten meters from the ground, the projectile decoy bombs almost ignited the ground, and at the same time a large number of infrared rays formed a strong interference in the local area, but the air-to-air missile was already approaching Xia Yu at this time, and many jamming bombs could only play a useless role in light and heat behind the missile, followed by "Boom!" With a bang, a fireball suddenly exploded in the air.
"Red flag 1, red flag 1, please answer if you receive it." Through the combat data link, the AWACS aircraft and other pilots who had already understood what Xia Yu had encountered were nervous at the moment.
"This is Hongqi 1, please instruct." Xia Yu's voice sounded through the radio, and suddenly whether it was the crew members of the early warning aircraft, or the other pilots of the Red Flag Squad and the Blue Sky Squad, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, they can all understand the reason why Xia Yu didn't choose to parachute, but if he was chased by two missiles, I'm afraid there is really no choice but to parachute, because being chased by one missile and being chased by two missiles are completely different things.
Even if the air-to-air missile is advanced, if the timing of the launch is not just right, as long as the pilot's judgment ability and the performance of the aircraft are good enough, there is still a chance to get rid of the missile's attack. However, once faced with the attack of two air-to-air missiles at the same time, it can almost be said that the probability of missile damage to fighters is infinitely close to 100 percent.
The reason is actually quite simple. That is, when an air-to-air missile attacks an aircraft in the air, it means that when a fighter chooses one of the missiles to evade, for the other missile, any maneuver made by the fighter is just a meaningless waste of flight energy.
In the face of an air-to-air missile alone, don't look at the anti-overload capacity of dozens of Gs at every turn, but in fact, because of the speed of the missile itself, sometimes even if it has a small angle with the aircraft, the overload force of the missile itself reaches more than 30 G. Therefore, in the face of a missile attack, how to use one's own flight to induce the missile to expand the flight envelope, and then limit the acceleration of the missile and force the missile's flight to exceed the upper limit of the overload force of the missile itself, it is possible to get rid of the missile attack, or even directly break away from the lock of the missile seeker.
What's more, because of fuel restrictions, many missiles are actually launched after launching, and the process of active propulsion is actually relatively short, once the fuel is used up, when it comes to the inertial guidance stage at the end of the stage, the hit rate is actually the lowest, which is undoubtedly the best time for pilots to get rid of.
But all of this is basically based on the premise that only one missile is attacked, and if it is locked by two missiles at the same time, the infinite probability of being close to 100% damage is not just blowing.
When Xia Yu climbed over the ridge, he almost let the vertical tail rub the ground and turn over, and the plane itself sank under the mountain wall, and its infrared and electromagnetic signatures immediately minimized or even disappeared, which was also the main reason why Xia Yu was able to trick a missile into hitting the mountain wall, and also gave him the possibility of successfully avoiding being shot down. Otherwise, even if Xia Yu decides to use low-altitude detonation, he will not be able to deceive two missiles at the same time, and the final result will naturally be that he will undoubtedly become the first J-20 pilot to be hit down by a missile.
"Hongqi 1, have you received any damage?" Although he heard Xia Yu's answer, Hongqi 2 immediately asked about the specific situation, and it seemed on his radar that the radar information representing Xia Yu was completely consistent with the missile.
"Inspections have been carried out and there are no anomalies." Xia Yu replied that as early as after the missile exploded, Xia Yu had been nervously paying attention to any situation that might occur in the cockpit. The result is naturally good, because except for the proximity alarm, there is no fault alarm, which is really a lucky thing for Xia Yu.
"Hongqi 2 received, is converging with you, entering the left wingman position." The pilot of Hongqi 2 exhaled, when Xia Yu drove the plane to pursue the Su-30 in India, Hongqi 2, which was supposed to be Xia Yu's wingman, did not keep up with Xia Yu in order to help another J-10, and by the time he started to chase in the direction of Xia Yu, Xia Yu had already shot down the plane with a cannon and was chasing another Su-30.
What happened after that, Hongqi 2 didn't catch up, including Xia Yu launching a missile to shoot down the Su-30MKI that had returned to India, and then being chased by the missile, hiding in the canyon and fleeing left and right. All of this, Hongqi 2 can only watch passively, he can't help anything, and at the same time, because he has to be alert to the T50 that may continue to fly over and attack, Hongqi 2 can't even follow Xia Yu to see what will happen in the end.
However, it seems that Xia Yu has successfully escaped the attack of the two missiles, although he doesn't know how Xia Yu did it, Hongqi 2 still breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and he planned to ask Xia Yu when he returned.
And Xia Yu is also very happy, although at the same time as the explosion, in order to avoid the direct attack of the missile, Xia Yu manipulated the J-20 to roll to the right side with the maximum flip rate, but in fact, Xia Yu was ready to be injured or even shot down by the J-20. But I didn't know what was going on at the time, the missile actually felt a little weak in follow-up, and when Xia Yu detonated it, the speed did not increase as quickly as before, but exploded at a relatively long distance, which made Xia Yu happy and a little strange at the same time, but soon, Xia Yu figured out the reason.
