Chapter 699: Electromagnetic Rapid-Fire Cannon

The two PL-15s that flew in did not cause substantial damage to the sturdy "Yanlong".

Sitting in the simulator cockpit that had just experienced the impact of two explosions and the vision was still jolting, breaking free from the close detonation of the PL-15 missile, Long Yun couldn't help but admire the tenacious vitality of the attack aircraft; With the combat confidence added out of thin air, he continued to maintain the accelerated dive posture of the "Yanlong" and went all the way forward, and seeing that the figure of the follow-up incoming missiles in the sky was still getting bigger, he couldn't help but have a bold idea of "continuing to resist" in his heart.

This kind of rash idea is self-defeating in the air combat of fighter jets, but since the attack plane is so resistant to beating, it is not a matter of taking a few missiles!

However, after all, there is still a fierce air confrontation, and the so-called "no matter what those eye-catching missiles, just rush straight through them in this way", this idea only existed in Long Yun's mind for a moment, and was immediately snuffed out by him at once. I have never really piloted a strong attack aircraft before, and even playing the simulator is the first time, but Long Yun also knows that the armor protection of the strong attack aircraft is not unlimited, to say that one or two missiles are naturally not afraid, but if there are many of them, it is difficult to say.

Not to mention anything else, even if it is a main battle tank with strong armor, it is not a problem to eat one or two rocket-booster grenades, but if you want to rush into the city and fight street battles recklessly, then you will be directly beaten by an RPG that flies, this kind of thing is not unusual.

With a relatively safe consideration, controlling the fighter to restore the speed as much as possible, Long Yun's next manipulation was still the old routine of sideways rotation and avoidance. But compared to when flying a fighter jet. This continuous sideways rotation is even smoother: thanks to the two atomic hydrogen engines of the Yanlong. The slender and heavy X-8A moves quite lightly in the sky, and the next action can be taken immediately after a high-G overload hover, so Long Yun can get rid of the sharp attack of two batches of six missiles in front and behind.

While driving the fighter plane to dodge left and right, fighting with the simulated black vision effect in the cockpit, Long Yun has now determined the next countermeasure, he is driving the plane to avoid the continuous attack of the missile, while maintaining the seat energy in the continuous dive, and further reducing the altitude; At medium and low altitudes with dense atmosphere, the lift reserve of the assault aircraft will also be improved, and only then will it be able to engage in a fierce maneuverable confrontation with the opponent.

It's too late. It was fast, and the incoming missile firing was simply non-stop, and Long Yun, who was still a little unskilled in maneuvering, could only be regarded as saving the danger after some hecticism, but in the process, he was forced to resist the close attack of two PL-15s.

While secretly counting the number of missiles in his heart, Long Yun's current spirit has also completely entered a state of excitement, after all, compared to these missiles that pose little threat, the Du Feng landline that followed closely behind is probably the threat he really needs to face!

This threat has come in an instant.

Just when the "Yanlong" was continuously turning sideways and using a series of maneuvers to interfere with the missile's attack and homing. While keeping their eyes on the sky and looking at the display from time to time, the X-8A is equipped with a distributed omnidirectional radar that faithfully performs the alert mission. A bright red triangle flag indicates the source of strong RCS reflections in the sky. Compared with the air-to-air missiles flying around in the sky at extremely fast speeds, the radar reflection signal characteristics of the attackers are still very easy to distinguish, and the fire control system has been steadily tracking the only aircraft target identified in the air, and the ranging information also shows that the distance between friend and foe is about 11 kilometers.

Eleven kilometers, is it already so close?

Suddenly sensing the approaching heavy threat, as if he felt a chill invade his mind, Long Yun sneaked a few glances at the large blue sky around him while piloting the plane frantically maneuvering and dodging missiles, and in a hurry, he couldn't see Major Du Feng's landline with the naked eye; After getting rid of the entanglement of the two missiles again, he hurriedly switched the display mode and adjusted the target label to the heads-up display, but even if he glanced at it, there was no red target indication in the green head-up display.

No red triangle display?

That means that the target is not in the field of view of the heads-up display, and the opponent is likely to be behind him!

In the flash of light, Long Yun, who had thought about this clearly, immediately turned his head and looked back, and a vague black shadow in the sky was captured in an instant, it must be the Major's landline!

Continuously dodging the opponent's multiple batches of missile attacks, Long Yun's spirit has been tense, although he has dodged and dodged, plus hard food to deal with all the over-the-horizon missiles, but there is no way to pay attention to the opponent's movements in such a rhythmic and tense control.

Facing the opponent who suddenly appeared behind him, Long Yun, who was affected by the driving habits of the fighter, was still turning his head and looking back, and then remembered that the distributed radar equipped by the "Yanlong" has an omnidirectional scanning capability, in other words, it can stare at the target without leaving a dead end, and then quickly focused on the multi-functional display screen in front of him, but for a while he really felt deeply unfamiliar and uncomfortable with this engagement mode.

Yes, since it's already omnidirectional scanning, but the display screen in front of me is still two-dimensional, the red triangle is still flashing, and there is a string of constantly refreshing ranging numbers next to it, but-

But where is this guy, so it is completely unclear to see the situation!

After a storm of over-the-horizon missile baptism, finally arrived at the decisive moment of hand-to-hand combat, Long Yun, who was driving the "Yanlong" to fight, felt a trace of hand-to-hand, or abrupt incoordination, and the situation of dealing with Yuru before was completely different, he almost forgot for a while that he had just been familiar with the operation of the fire control system, the RWR alarm prompt was still ringing, obviously Du Feng's landline that had been killed from the direction of eight o'clock had approached, and was locking himself with the fire control system!

In a critical crisis situation, Long Yun could not afford to hesitate any longer, and he almost subconsciously put a putt into the dive, using this relatively safe way to try to avoid the opponent's tracking.

Now you must keep your distance from your opponent or something bad will happen soon!

Seeing that the opponent was still chasing closer and closer, a dark cloud swept in Long Yun's heart, who was trying his best to maneuver and get rid of it, he knew that he was continuously irradiated by the opponent with radar at this kind of engagement distance, although launching missiles was also a very reasonable guess, but the general attack method of the strong attack aircraft was to use machine guns.

Compared with air-to-air missiles, which need to be tracked and attacked, cannons are a greater threat to attack aircraft.

For the powerful and armored attack aircraft, the traditional air combat weapon - air-to-air missile, because it needs to continue to pursue the target with a high-G maneuver and catch up before the warhead can be detonated to attack, this combat mode is very powerful for the fighter with a thin body, and usually it is enough to destroy the target as long as it detonates at close range; However, in the face of thickly armored assault aircraft, the high-explosive fragmentation warheads of early air-to-air missiles basically failed completely, and the damage effect of continuous rod warheads was also severely reduced, making them very weak in the face of assault aircraft.

Just like what Long Yun experienced just now, it is impossible for a few traditional air-to-air missiles to cause serious damage to the attacker, let alone shoot them down, unless they are extremely lucky.

It is precisely because of such a situation, as if the kinetic energy bombs on the land battlefield have been revived again, and the decisive weapons of the sky battlefield have also appeared again, and the main battle weapon of the life-and-death battle between the strong attack aircraft is no longer an air-to-air missile, but has become a high-powered rapid-fire machine gun.

Just like the two "Yanlong" that are now fighting each other, the two 35-millimeter electromagnetic guns equipped with the X-8A have a reserve of 1,200 rounds of ammunition and a warhead muzzle velocity of 2,300 meters per second. Even in the face of an armored assault aircraft, it can pose a considerable range of threats at distances of up to several thousand meters.

How long does it take for a warhead whistling out of the chamber at seven times the speed of sound to fly over a distance of several thousand meters?

Long Yun had no time to think about this question now, he quickly spotted the opponent's shot from the faint trajectory that swept around the fuselage, and at a distance of more than four thousand meters, Major Du Feng began to splash water like an aerial artillery attack!

Airborne artillery, a traditional weapon with an effective range of less than 2,000 meters in the fighter era, which basically required a dangerous approach, to take out the opponent, has evolved into an unprecedentedly powerful weapon for the enemy in the attack fuselage: thanks to the strong structure and heavy body of the attack aircraft, the huge recoil caused by the simultaneous firing of two 35-mm guns and the discharge of 40 projectiles per second can also be withstanding.

With the roar of the electromagnetic cannon, one after another wrapped in extremely sharp sonic booms, armor-piercing bullets and high-explosive warheads flying through the sky flew wildly around Long Yun's landline, crackling and thunderous sounds echoed in Long Yun's ears, and his "Yanlong" was thrown into the terrible rain of light and fire in an instant!

This, this kind of Cheng dรน's firepower, this is simply-

In the midst of the death storm with the projectile whistling, and controlling the fighter plane into an overload and continuous rapid barrel rolling, Long Yun was already extremely nervous at this time, and he could almost smell a trace of the cold breath of immediate defeat.

Unconsciously exerted all his strength in his hand, driving the long X-8A "Yanlong" through the vast sky where the shells were raging, and he was already completely instinctive at this time manipulating the fighter plane to roll and dodge all the way, trying to avoid the relentless sweep of the bullet rain; But such a dense barrage of covered fire, even at a distance of two thousand meters, is no longer capable of manpower.

In the blink of an eye, Long Yun felt a violent shaking and shaking of the body, and his "Yanlong" had already been hit by the opponent! (To be continued......)
