Chapter 451: W-Band Deception
Now it's time to speed up now, as long as you can get rid of the hateful interceptors!
While estimating the distance between friend and foe in his heart, Stanley's control was quite clear-eyed, and the F-34 "Silent Cat", which had the largest wing sweep, was roaring forward as if angry, but the four semi-buried AGM-84s made the aerodynamic drag of the airframe greatly increased, and the speed could not be more than Mach 1.6.
And just when he was secretly anxious, the RWR warning sound was busy and chaotic changed, representing the detection of the radar homing head signal The sound made him nervous, could it be that the guy in "May" launched an over-the-horizon missile?
Suddenly thinking that the opponent was likely to be carrying a ramjet long-range air-to-air missile such as the PL-13, he only felt that the threat suddenly increased, my God, it can't be true!
Air-to-air missiles such as the PL-13 and the "Meteor" that use ramjet engines can intercept head-on missiles with a range of more than 160 kilometers, and the indicators look really beautiful; However, in the confrontation between stealth fighters, this type of missile basically does not play a big role, because the radar stealth fighters are not yet 100 kilometers away from each other, and they can't see the opponent and naturally can't fire at such a distance.
However, despite this, the long-range missile, which was not a serious threat in the first place, is crooked in the current situation: the F-34's rear stealth capability is relatively poor, and the situation is even worse after the missile is mounted, and it is easy to be locked by the self-homing head of the active radar-guided missile. Originally, if it was a PL-12, Stanley could still count on running at high speed to get rid of it, but the long-lasting ramjet has the same endurance as a long-distance runner, and Stanley, who is nervously looking back from the cockpit, keeps beating the drum in his heart. He still couldn't see a trace of the incoming missiles. What the hell is going to happen now!
I regretted it for a while. Stanley was wondering why they were attacking with all their might, wouldn't it be better to leave an air superiority plane to escort them?
Or, if he also carries the AIM-54C, can he at least calmly fight back?
But at this time, he didn't have time to think about it so much, and after weighing the pros and cons, he immediately switched to the air-to-plane tracking mode, and very neatly locked the aircraft carrier with extremely obvious radar echoes in the distance, and after marking the flight path for the four AGM-84s, he pressed the missile launch button, and shot out all four AGM-84s in one go.
It doesn't matter if it hits or not. Now it's important to save your life, what kind of anti-ship attack is there if it is shot down directly?
Launching all the four anti-ship missiles he carried, Stanley only felt that the fuselage was obviously lighter, and at the same time the bump was more violent, and he immediately turned the rudder with the side stick to kill a carbine, but he didn't realize that he had been deceived by Long Yun behind him at this time.
Just now, he found that the "Silent Cat" more than forty kilometers away in front of him was desperately escaping, Long Yun thought about it and felt that he couldn't just take the risk of driving afterburner to catch up, what if that guy used continuous side rotation to cooperate with electronic interference and ran away?
So he switched to the STT (Single-Target-Track) mode and firmly locked the F-34 in front. Later, the W-band continuous wave irradiator, which is purely used for intimidation, is used to irradiate the opponent with a "flashlight" that simulates the signal of the homing head of the air-to-air missile radar. Intimidate the Americans and make him think that the pursuers have launched over-the-horizon missiles!
Although the "Silent Cat" was still outside the PL-12's attack envelope at first, the panicked F-34 long plane quickly launched all the anti-ship missiles. Launching a salvo hundreds of kilometers away from the target, the threat of this attack method can be said to be not great, but Long Yun still decided to immediately implement tail chase interception to avoid the aircraft carrier "accidentally winning the lottery", he quickly set the ballistic parameters, waited for the fire control system to complete the calculation, and then launched two batches of a total of four PL-12 in a row, like a long sword-like over-the-horizon missiles have ejected the magazine ignition and flew away, the scene was spectacular for a while!
Being able to extravagantly shoot several over-the-horizon missiles at a time without worrying about insufficient ammunition is probably an alternative advantage of the J-30 in the fourth-generation fighter.
For the time being, regardless of how many "Harpoons" this batch of four PL-12s can shoot, Long Yun immediately instructed the fire control system to abandon a few missile targets with rigid ballistics and no need for relay correction, and then he had to concentrate on facing the F-34 that turned around on the side. As the radar distinguishes the "Silent Cat" that is turning sideways from the missile target that is "approaching" head-on (AGM-84 is a subsonic anti-ship missile, and it is indeed "approaching" when looking at the J-30 chasing at a speed of Mach 2) in STT mode, the distance between the two aircraft is less than 20 kilometers at this time, and the over-the-horizon missile is not suitable for attacking the opponent in this situation, and the two sides will immediately enter a life-and-death visual air battle!
However, at this time, Stanley, who was piloting the "Silent Cat", was still fighting the non-stop RWR system.
Just after launching the "Harpoon" missile, he found the W-band radar irradiation signal in multiple directions indicated by the RWR in the side turn, and his first reaction was that the Chinese launched several more radar-guided missiles to chase himself, the "May" Mist-Dragon, how much stock did his landline bring?
However, with the change of the direction of the RWR warning prompt, the number of alarm radiation sources is also fluctuating, and it was vaguely found in the cockpit that the track of the incoming missile was not aimed at him, and Stanley was stunned for a moment before he reacted - that guy was not aiming at himself, he was using the airborne radar to indicate the target for the over-the-horizon missile, and wanted to use the air-to-air missile to shoot down the four "Harpoons" he had just launched!
When the two sides are about to enter the fight, sword to sword, he still has the heart to do this?
Thinking about the warhead design of air-to-air missiles, it is not suitable to deal with small-volume targets like AGM-84, but Stanley has no time to regret the dense trajectory he chose, and don't be chased by the missile of the "May" wingman! Now that the enemy is currently in the middle of now, the anti-ship missile with a thin tail flame behind him has already hit the road, so there is no need for him to take care of it, so let's go all out into a one-on-one air duel now!
While controlling the fighter to approach the opponent head-on, and relying on the target information just intercepted by the radar to launch two AIM-120D counterattacks, Stanley nervously watched the movements of the RWR and ultraviolet warning instruments, and began to carry out standard evasion maneuvers against radar-guided missiles.
