As invisible electromagnetic waves spread across the sky, an electronic warfare battle began.

This kind of competition can be regarded as an advantageous project of "lightning".

The 100 opponents that Long Yun is facing today, the F-35 "Lightning", which is heavily equipped by the US military and widely spread in the world, although it is nominally a cheap three-service general model with F-22 "Raptor" and F-34 "Silent Cat", but in fact, as the final work of Lockheed Martin in the fighter era, the seemingly low-end "Lightning" is not cheap at all, and its real combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of its double-engine heavy predecessors such as "Raptor" and "Silent Cat".

Compared with the F-22 and other early fourth-generation fighters with excellent flight performance and air superiority combat capabilities, the F-35 "Lightning" itself does not have outstanding flight performance, and its maneuverability can only rank downstream among many fourth-generation fighters developed by major countries; However, thanks to the United States' powerful electronic and information technology capabilities and integrated combat system skills, the combat mode of the "Lightning" fighter has basically departed from the old idea of "weapon-to-weapon and platform-to-platform" and has turned to a system warfare that relies on a complete set of information networks.

Just as it is now, a number of "Lightnings" flying in a dense formation are acting in concert under the command of a set of interconnected control networks, and the electronic jamming equipment of each plane is all at full power and is firing the "Yanlong" radar scanning signals intercepted by the electronic warfare system in a disorderly manner under the unified control of the network.

In the face of such a distributed electronic interference, from the opponent's point of view, it is as if the position of the "Lightning" fighter in the sky is constantly teleporting. Naturally, it can cause great distress.

Due to the cluster electronic interference of the "Lightning" swarm. The fire control system is unable to accurately identify the signal it emits itself from the jumble of target echoes. If it is impossible to obtain stable target parameters, it is impossible to complete the missile launch solution; Finding that the opponent still had such a trick, although Long Yun quickly noticed the tactical change of the F-35 fleet, he did not have a proper way to deal with it for a while.

Of course, even if the opponent uses electronic jamming to disrupt the detection of the fire control system of the "Yanlong", it has not yet reached the point where it can obliterate its own existence and make it impossible for the enemy to detect. If you just want to shoot out the missile, now Long Yun can judge whether the target is within the missile attack envelope according to the situation of the enemy and us, and then order the system to launch the missile to attack; But even if the missile is launched on the road. If the system does not have the means to provide it with a mid-course command correction, the probability of a missile hit will become quite low in the face of a group of "Lightning" aircraft in the sky with a changing position.

In the face of such a large number of "lightning", even if it is just a group of separate fleets put together, in the face of the unfavorable situation of electronic interference, the next tactical choice is very important.

Will it continue to launch over-the-horizon attacks, or will it decisively enter into visual air combat?

Although it was difficult to carry out an out-of-sight attack due to the electronic interference of enemy aircraft, Long Yun still held the control of the rhythm of the battlefield, and how to fight this battle next. It can be said that it is still up to him to decide. His eyes scurried across the vast expanse of the sky in front of him, and the series of targets marked on the display were not within visual range for the time being. Long Yun's finger stayed on the missile launch button for a moment, and then he made a decisive decision, he pulled the throttle valve and push rod to make the fighter bow his head, and just like that, he directly entered the dive, rushing towards the small cluster of "Lightning" fighters closest to him.

Anyway, looking at the current situation, even if the opponent did not cast electronic jamming, twelve PL-15Cs could only shoot down a few more enemy planes at most.

The number of enemies is unprecedented, and in the end, it is not necessary to rely on aircraft artillery to expand the results of the battle?

With such a thought, he drove the fighter all the way to dive and accelerate to meet the enemy, and Long Yun carefully controlled the speed of the fighter not to exceed the upper limit of the speed of Mach 3, that is, the electromagnetic cannon; Gripping the joystick tightly with his slightly sweaty hand, he could feel the powerful "thump" of his heart in his chest, and an unquenchable desire to kill in his heart. After taking off, he has been fighting with his opponent from afar, and he basically did not give full play to the flight performance of the full-state "Yanlong", but at this time he suddenly had a glimmer of inexplicable realization, since he is about to enter a close-range battle, then it is all up to him!

Unlike over-the-horizon combat in video games, the airborne fire control system can't help the pilot much in the white-bladed blood-spattered combat air combat, and it can be said that it is completely a competition of combat personnel's skills and will.

In the tense atmosphere of the sky battlefield, Long Yun was only firmly focused on the batch of targets he had selected at this time, and all other enemy planes were handed over to the fire control system to monitor and keep an eye on. With a subconscious mind that suddenly awakened again and was invisibly exerting its influence, he drove the "Yanlong" to pounce down from a height of 24,000 meters; With the altitude decreasing and the enemy approaching, a close-quarters battle is already on the way.

The battle situation in the simulator is becoming more and more complicated, but the so-called "bystander clear", Lu Chunjiang, who was watching the battle in the training room, can see clearly, as the "Yanlong" changes tactics and enters the enemy formation, the "Lightning" aircraft group, which still occupies an absolute numerical advantage, also quickly takes action, except for a small group of fighters who were targeted by the X-8A are still in the air unhurriedly, and the fighters in other directions have turned and approached the narrow airspace where the battle is about to break out.

Seeing these "lightning" controlled by the simulator, and the actions were quite orderly, Lu Chunjiang suddenly became interested, he wanted to see how this young man would deal with it?

Although for SFM7560, the task of simulating and deducing 100 fighters is really not light, probably now these F-35s are only operating according to a predetermined plan, and it is still incomparable with the control of real pilots. However, the colonel is naturally reserved for the confrontation between the assault aircraft and fighters, and he is not too optimistic about Long Yun's choice: if this guy really rushes all the way and gives up the flight performance advantage of the assault aircraft to fight with the opponent, this is a bit of a rash move, rather than a wise move.

In the face of the siege of fighters, even if the performance of the electromagnetic cannon of the "Yanlong" is far better than that of ordinary fighter guns, it depends on what the situation is.

In a situation like today's, if you are faced with a few or more than a dozen fighters, you may be able to give it a go. But now, there are dozens of fighters in the sky from all directions, and there are still some fighters waiting for an opportunity around; Seeing that the "lightning" people were making full use of the advantages of system combat and could flock in the narrow airspace of engagement without worrying about colliding with each other, Lu Chunjiang felt that Long Yun's move was really too big - the front-line pilots in the regiment may not be able to retreat with their whole body.

In the tense sky killing field, Lu Chunjiang's questioning was no time for Long Yun to snoop and have no time to figure it out.

Piloting the fighter plane to keep approaching several "Lightning" fighters in dense formation in the sky, he had already quickly calculated a math problem for himself in his mind at this time.

There are still twelve PL-15Cs on the landline, and even if one shot is one, it can only knock down twelve; And then the electromagnetic cannon, 1,200 rounds of ammunition reserve is really a lot, but to say that a dozen shells are swept out to ensure that an enemy plane is defeated, obviously this is also the ability of Zenith only people.

In other words, he can't completely destroy his opponent in this battle, but can only do his best to fight?

A simple calculation knew that the situation was not good, but the burning fighting spirit in his heart drove him to move forward bravely, what is the maneuverability of the "Yanlong" in the whole state, now is the time to get started!

As soon as he thought of the fierce battle that followed, for some reason, Long Yun actually felt extremely looking forward to it; Although he had never been exposed to a real assault plane before, just like the thoughts he felt after the previous two defeats, an abrupt and strange sense of familiarity made him a little unsure whether this familiarity was an illusion of his own or some other bizarre reason.

At the moment of fierce battle, there was no time to think more, and after a short swoop of tens of seconds to accelerate, Long Yun saw several vaguely distinguishable black dots appear in the vast sky with thin white clouds in front of him; But before he could make out whether it was an enemy plane, a bird, or something else, several black dots in the projection display had been framed with a striking red triangle, and the fire control system had automatically identified them as enemy planes and highlighted them.

The alternative projection display in the cockpit of the assault plane, before Long Yun only knew that it had a wide viewing angle that the cockpit of the fighter plane could not match, but now he saw that the sky display was also superimposed with a target prompt, which was like cheating on the visual air combat!

For this function of the "Yanlong", he first sighed for a moment, and then remembered that this function may not be able to play a role all the time, but because he is now going to the meeting alone, so the other things in the sky that can fly must be enemy planes, and there is no need to identify friend or foe.

But even so, in this one-on-one battle, the automatic target identification function did help Long Yun a lot.

Considering the F-35 "Lightning" fighters attacking from all directions, the AIM-120D and AIM-9X missiles carried on them basically cannot pose a threat to the "Yanlong", and the GAU-12 aircraft guns equipped with them have a very short range, in other words, it means that if these "Lightning" fighters want to hit Long Yun's landline in combat air combat, they must be close to the visual distance, and they must be very close to use the aerial guns.

Of course, this idea is only a personal speculation of Long Yun for the time being, and the fire control system of the landline is not so grand: just as he was driving the X-8A all the way to the back of the "Lightning" fleet that turned and fled, the warning of imminent threat was already sounding rhythmically, and the system was alerting the pilot that there were enemy planes approaching in the airspace around him, and Guò calculated that some of the enemy planes were already capable of launching missile attacks.
