Chapter 117: Counter-Killing
"The missile is at a distance of 5 km!" Tian Tian had lost his usual tranquility, and screamed loudly: "32 degrees under the axis." ”
"I see, don't scream so loudly." Xia Yu also shouted in response, Tian Tian may not have noticed it, but Xia Yu couldn't hold on to this sharp soprano. Obviously, both of them were under huge overload in the process of supersonic speed with a slope, and even their facial muscles were somewhat stretched out of shape, it was really a shame that Tian Tian could still shout so loudly, Xia Yu felt that his goosebumps had all fallen to the ground.
Other planes in the air, whether it was Zhou Ling, Li Chenzhong, an early warning plane in the air, or even a Jiangsu ship hundreds of kilometers away, as long as it was a place that had the ability to observe the air situation, all of them were closely watching the J-15S two-seater carrier-based plane that was flying head-on with the missile.
Tian Tian was so nervous that he didn't even notice that he had turned on the radio communication equipment all the time, so the conversation between the two people was transmitted to the entire radio network, and because of this, the tension in the cockpit was exaggerated to all the people who were listening to the radio.
Mu Shaoqing is naturally no exception, as the flight commander of the aircraft carrier formation, when there is an air mission, he must be on duty in real time, and when necessary, he can even directly command the aircraft in the air, so everything that happens in the air, except for not being able to see it with his own eyes, he can basically understand the situation.
The sudden U-turn of the Japanese plane to attack not only did Xia Yu not expect it, but he also did not expect it. So when the J-15 formation in the air encountered a sudden attack, and Xia Yu was locked and left behind, Mu Shaoqing really wanted to immediately rush over in the plane and beat the bastard who launched the attack.
But Yan zhòng's shape didn't have time for Mu Shaoqing to think nonsense, he could only keep an eye on the air situation at all times, and because of this, when he heard the reading reported by Tian Tian, his heart couldn't help but relax a little, at least the first wave of attacks, Xia Yu should be able to get rid of it.
Sure enough, when the J-15 and the Type 99 missile intersected, just as Xia Yu and Mu Shaoqing expected, Xia Yu didn't even need to do anything to avoid maneuvering, just a full acceleration sprint, and he was able to take advantage of the excessive angle difference, so that the air-to-air missile could not complete the turn under the J-15, and was directly thrown behind the J-15 when it couldn't get close to the plane at all.
According to the most basic principles of air engagement, Xia Yu did not forget to throw down the decoy bombs and chaff array, and in the second before the meeting, Xia Yu threw a large number of chaff strips from the J-15 fuselage, forming a huge interference barrier, and at the same time, the decoy bombs on the J-15 fuselage were continuously ejected.
"It's our turn now." Xia Yu, who had just staggered with the missile, didn't even look at whether the missile was interfered with by the decoy bomb and the chaff array, seizing this almost fleeting opportunity, and pressed the launch button without hesitation for the Japanese fighter that had been continuously illuminated and locked by the J-15's fire control radar before it staggered with the missile.
Noda Gen red eyes, looking at the rapid departure of the Type 99 air-to-air missile excited and just want to shout, the Type 99 missile is developed on the basis of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Sparrow, the performance is about equivalent to AIM-120C7, in the target detection and anti-jamming ability is slightly exceeded, you must know that AIM-120C7 is one of the main anti-aircraft weapons carried on the F22 stealth fighter of the United States, and its performance table is undoubtedly the first-class level in the world today.
Because of this, when Noda Gen launched this missile, he didn't think about launching a second air-to-air missile in order to strengthen the hit rate, plus he didn't have a full load for this takeoff, he only brought two Type 99s, he didn't want to have no missiles available when the other side counterattacked, which is one of the reasons why he didn't launch the second missile.
However, just when Noda Gen was happily waiting for the Chinese J-15 fighter to be blown up by a missile, suddenly, his warning radar sounded, and Noda Gen was taken aback and immediately began to maneuver to evade, but suddenly the radar warning sound became clear to Noda Gen, and he was locked.
"How is that possible?" Noda exclaimed that he had no time to see if his missile could hit the opponent's plane, and in order to avoid being shot down, he immediately began to perform evasive maneuvers. Noda Gen would not know that if he launched two Type 99s in one go, maybe Xia Yu would not have time to think about how to counterattack, but if there was only one air-to-air missile, and the off-axis angle had been pulled apart, it was almost certain that he would be able to avoid the missile's first attack, Xia Yu did not hesitate at all, and counterattacked with the most decisive action.
At the same time, after the Type 99 missile launched by Noda Yuan staggered with Xia Yu's J-15, because the angle difference was too large, it exceeded the activity angle of the guidance head, and actually lost the main target of J-15, and the interference barrier formed by a large number of decoy bombs and chaff arrays dropped by J-15 has been completely blocked in the middle of Type 99 missiles and J-15 fighters, and the high-heat decoy bombs and chaff arrays with large-area radar reflection cross-sections have overwhelmed the Type 99 air-to-air missiles that have lost their main targets. directly took a piece of chaff in the chaff array as a J-15, and then crashed headlong into the jamming barrier, followed by a "boom" explosion, this air-to-air missile finally did not complete its mission, and turned into an expensive firework in mid-air.
On Xia Yu's side, when the Type 99 air-to-air missile exploded in the air, the alarm in the cockpit of the J-15 was suddenly interrupted, and a PL-12 medium-range air-to-air missile mounted under the wing of the J-15 was immediately ignited as Xia Yu pressed the launch button, and the Mach disc formed by the supersonic tail flame was like a string of blue transparent pearls, with a long white wake, and the murderous F2 fighter rushed towards Noda Yuan's F2 fighter.
PL-12, or in Chinese, Thunderbolt 12, is China's new generation of medium-range air-to-air missile, which can be attacked with radar guidance outside the line of sight, and the helmet targeting system can continue to guide the Thunderbolt 12 in the air after launch, until it is 20 kilometers away from the enemy aircraft, you can let the missile's active radar automatically lock on to the target, and the carrier aircraft that launched the missile can be liberated, and there is no need to continue to use the fire control radar to irradiate the target to guide the launch of the missile.
The previous F2 was like this, although the Type 99 missile was launched, Noda Gen still maintained continuous irradiation, and waited until the Type 99 missile approached a certain distance, and then let the radar of the missile itself guide and lock on to Xia Yu's J-15, and he himself could evade it after being irradiated by Xia Yu's fire control radar, and he could no longer pay attention to the Type 99 missile, because the missile itself could chase Xia Yu's J-15 to attack.
Thunderbolt 12 is also an active radar guided missile, although it is slightly insufficient compared with the performance of AIM-120C, but it steadily exceeds the AIM-120A/B two models, compared with Japan's Type 99 air-to-air missile, although it is still a little worse, but when Xia Yu launched the Thunderbolt 12, the J-15 was only 37 kilometers away from Noda Gen's F2 fighter, and it was just in the downward view of the Thunderbolt 12.
Altitude advantage, speed advantage, when the J-15 lowered the nose of the aircraft to launch the missile, even the angle difference was narrowed to an extremely pitiful point, although it was also a head-on attack, but Xia Yu really couldn't think of a single-engine, no stealth performance of the fighter how to avoid the pursuit of the Thunderbolt 12.
