Chapter 124: Flight Explanation

It turns out that human beings are not very capable of resisting the forces of nature. Because no matter how severe and unstable the situation in the East China Sea is, no matter how many high-tech products of human beings are gathered in the East China Sea, when a typhoon comes, all of them have to stand aside.

Six days after the fighting over the East China Sea, although both sides were exercising restraint, the atmosphere had hardly changed, and the tension was still so tense that a single shot could immediately trigger a full-scale battle.

However, when Super Typhoon Emily was about to pass through the East China Sea and make landfall off the coast of Fujian, all the ships of China, Russia, Japan and the United States left the East China Sea area. No ship dared to wander in the center of a super typhoon, not even an aircraft carrier with a displacement of more than 100,000 tons, and the arrival of Super Typhoon Emily eased the tense situation.

The heavy clouds, the pouring rain, the fierce hurricane, the earth-shattering waves, and the lightning that tore the sky apart from time to time, the sound of rain, the wind, and the thunder were intertwined, and nature showed its power uncontrollably. In this kind of weather, let alone flying, if you are standing on the deck, you may not be able to let the wind blow into the sea.

However, not being able to take off does not mean that you can take a vacation without training, at least the pilots on the Jiangsu ship are all concentrated in the mission briefing room at the moment, listening to Xia Yu explain the air battle six days ago.

The technicians have used the information on each plane and the video filmed to make an hour-long explanation video, so that Xia Yu can more intuitively explain his command in the air at that time, but what makes the pilots most curious is not the air command of the day, but the method used by Xia Yu when he defeated Kazuki Koda, especially when Xia Yu's flight attitude at that time was simulated in the video, it caused an uproar.

"Instructor Xia, I have a problem." When the video was played to Xia Yu lowering his nose and biting the tail of Kazuki Kada's F2, Li Chenzhong couldn't bear it anymore, raised his hand and asked: "Why did the Japanese plane give up attacking you, but gave up its rear hemisphere?" ”

"yes, I'd like to know, too." Tian Tian also said: "I was sitting behind Instructor Xia Yu at the time, but I still don't understand why his flight trajectory is like this, I remember asking this question directly at that time, but Instructor Xia Yu didn't have time to explain." ”

"Instructor, you better explain to us this flight maneuver at that time."

"yes, otherwise my heart is very itchy."

A group of pilots began to coax, for them, Xia Yu is actually just a comrade-in-arms who lives together every day, there is no need to be too restrained and strict, and today's explanation is actually not a too formal training occasion, so everyone is very relaxed.

"Okay, I'll tell you more about this aerial combat flight." Xia Yu smiled, then pressed the back button, and said that the video content regressed to the J-15S was flying, and when the radar suddenly alarmed, he paused the screen and said: "First of all, I have to explain that my combat flight action is very restrictive, and it is almost impossible to apply it in normal air combat, and the reason why it was used that day was just because all the conditions were just met." ”

Zooming out the video screen, the position of the J-15S and the Japanese F2 fighter at that time was displayed in the picture, Xia Yu used the induction pen to mark the height and speed of the two planes at that time, and the distance, and compared it with his finger in the picture, Xia Yu said: "We all know that the flight in the air, compared to just fighting on the ground on a plane, the plane has an up and down flight path, which gives rise to the concept of flight space, basically all air fighting, can be said to use space to fight, And the one I used in the battle six days ago was actually not much different from everyone's flight. ”

"In the simplest way, in fact, I made the greatest use of the extensibility of the space, so that the Japanese F2 fighter unconsciously increased its flight envelope in order to lock on me, and finally guided it to a stall state and was forced to turn around, thus exposing its rear hemisphere, and then I locked it to attack." Xia Yu first briefly summarized the content of his explanation, and then continued: "The restrictions of this kind of aerial fighting are very high, I think I am afraid that after watching the previous video, you already have a rough idea of what is going on in your hearts. ”

Xia Yu pressed the play button to let the video play normally, and then said: "First of all, it is a matter of altitude, I must use the earth's gravity and J-15's engine acceleration to dive when the altitude has an absolute advantage, so as to quickly break away from the opponent's fire control radar scanning." ”

"Secondly, I have an altitude advantage, which means that if the other party wants to lock on to me, he will definitely need to raise his nose and climb to catch my plane, so it will be a very test of the engine." Xia Yu smiled and said: "F2 is a single-engine aircraft, with a thrust-to-weight ratio of only 0.89, and while continuing to climb, it also has to irradiate me with fire control radar, and at the same time change its flight attitude as I hover, which further weakens its wing lift." ”

"If I wasn't in the air and I was facing F22, I wouldn't have chosen this way of flying, not only because the F22 has two of the best engines in the world today, but also because the F22 is equipped with a binary vector nozzle, which is enough for the F22 to lock me in before I get it to stall." Xia Yu said: "I have the advantage of altitude, but also close enough, because if the distance is too far, the distance I need to do hover and dive sharply will increase, because only in this way can I expand the opponent's attack envelope, but in the same way, I need to get rid of the opponent's fire control radar The flight time will also increase, which will undoubtedly increase the risk of being locked." ”

Xia Yu drew his flight path on the screen with his hand, then turned his head to look at Tian Tian and said, "Tian Tian should know that I was continuously illuminated by the opponent's fire control radar for no more than three seconds, right?" ”

"Well, yes." Tian Tian nodded and said: "I was very nervous at that time, Instructor Xia Yu broke away from the other party's fire control radar and then turned back and entered the opponent's attack envelope by himself, I didn't understand it at that time. However, after not being attacked by the opponent's missiles several times in a row, I knew that Instructor Xia Yu intended to fly like this, but as for why, I still don't know. At that time, I was very uncomfortable with the constant change of plus and minus overloads, but after getting used to this rhythm several times in a row, I could estimate the time, and the time it took to be illuminated by the F2's fire control radar was definitely less than three seconds. ”

Xia Yu nodded at Tian Tian, and then said: "Three seconds is not enough time for the opponent's fire control radar to lock on to me, so I was able to constantly circling and rolling through guò, deceiving the other party to expand the flight envelope, and finally let the Japanese F2 approach a stall, and then it was a switch between attack and defense." ”

"All in all." Xia Yu concluded: "This space combat flight technology was very demanding on the environment at that time, and it was generally unlikely to happen under normal air combat conditions. It has extremely high requirements for the altitude, speed, distance, the plane itself, and the pilot itself, as long as any of them go wrong, it is easy to make this kind of flight self-defeating, so that the other party can easily beat themselves off the sky. ”
