Section 1058 - Hunter vs. Prey
In the sky over Riyadh, every three hours, a formation of jet fighters overlooks the brightly lit capital cordon at an altitude of 10,000 meters, silently guarding the core of the entire country.
The Royal Air Force F-15 fighter squadron "Talha (Tree of Friendliness)" is on a night patrol.
While the risk of flying at night is much higher than during the day, there are far fewer aircraft in the sky.
"Jihad! Something seems to have flown over the side just now! ”
Wingman Pilot McNee suddenly looked in the direction of 9 o'clock with some confusion.
Just now, there seemed to be two small black dots dangling in the corners of his eyes, and in the dark night, any flying object was not as conspicuous as during the day.
"I didn't see anything, probably birds, there was no reaction on the radar, and everything was fine with the ground-based air defense warning system."
The pilot Jihad, who was the long-time pilot, stared at 9 o'clock and looked at it carefully for a moment, then shook his head towards the wingman cockpit, the faint light of the instrument panel could faintly reflect the silhouette of the pilot's figure.
"Really? I'm dazzled? ”
Occasionally, the wingman McNee, blinked vigorously and had to accept the reason.
Just as he was about to withdraw his gaze, two faint blue-white dots of light suddenly lit up at 1 o'clock, looming.
Point of light?!
"Jihad, 1 o'clock direction! Probably 1000 meters higher than us! Two points of light. ”
It was definitely not a hallucination, McNee's pupils dilated suddenly. He immediately screamed.
Hearing the shouts of the wingman, the pilot of the long plane, Jihad, also noticed the two points of light that disappeared after a few seconds, his face became solemn, confirmed that the communication connection with the base was in a normal state, and said: "I also saw it, report to the Prince Sultan base, we found a UFO in the sky over Area 54, and it was not displayed on the radar." ”
"'Talha' squad! This is the Prince Sultan's base, and there are no authorized routes over Area 54 for 16 hours, so please find out immediately. In the event of an unauthorized stealth fighter intrusion, allow you to open fire and shoot it down, and the support team will be in the air in 8 minutes. ”
The Prince Sultan base is located 80 kilometers from Riyadh and can be reached by fighter jets in only four or five minutes.
When not in a state of imminent combat. 8 minutes to prepare for take-off is already very efficient, and in wartime, the ground crew's pre-take-off preparation time can often be shortened to less than 5 minutes......
The two F-15 fighters of the "Taleha" squad suddenly entered the afterburner state, and the orange-yellow tail flame of the tail of the twin-engine F100-PW-229 turbofan engine suddenly turned into a light blue, and the output power was increased by a step, pushing the airframe from a subsonic cruise state to a pursuit state of Mach 2.5.
"McNee! Get ready to activate the 'Sidewinder', whether it's an alien or a fighter from any country, let's take it down together! ”
The pilot, Jihad, activated the active radar and infrared systems and began scanning the entire sky at full power, and he and his wingman were conducting a large-radius circled search. Let the reconnaissance system get the most out of its search capabilities.
Before taking off, he had read the flight notes for the mission time period. At this time, he and McNee were the only fighters patrolling over Riyadh, and passenger planes were not allowed to enter the city, let alone heard that civilian aircraft could avoid two fighter jets and ground radars.
"Get into combat mode!"
McNeey quickly operated from the instrument panel, turning on the night combat system while using the night vision system to begin to observe the surrounding sky.
The F-15 of the "Talha" squad is the S version (not the Super Super version) of the F-15E simplified specifically for the Saudis. It uses the same engine as the F-15C of the main air supremacy fighter wing of the U.S. Air Force, but the avionics equipment has shrunk and the ground attack capability is reduced, but it does not affect the F-15S's aerial combat capability at all.
"Discover the target. There is an infrared response, and the other side is a twin-engine fighter! ”
The radar remained silent, but the optical night vision system and the infrared system barely caught the figure of the two mysterious aircraft.
The two points of light that we have just seen are the illusion of the human eye, but each point of light is composed of two tail flames that are extremely close to each other, and the airborne reconnaissance system has accurately distinguished this error.
"This is the Prince Sultan's base, confirm the authorization of the attack!" Good luck with Talha' squad! ”
The Saudis were apparently more aggressive, and did not hesitate to go to war over the city in order to keep the capital safe.
“fox2! fox2! ”
Jihad, the leader of the "Talha" team, reminded the wingman that he was about to launch the AIM-9X "Sidewinder" air-to-air missile.
The F-15 twin-plane formation had entered a natural backward pursuit tactic, seizing the enemy's position in the direction of 6 o'clock, and successfully included the opponent in its own attack envelope.
With the theoretical firing range of 40 km of the AIM-9X, it is still quite advantageous in air combat.
In night battles, the use of infrared guidance mode is the most suitable for dealing with stealth fighters, and the cooling atmosphere will make the infrared response of the fighter much more eye-catching than during the day.
As if they had already known that the "Taleha" team had discovered their existence, the two mysterious aircraft quickly dived to the ground and used the city to order the F-15 fighter formations to throw rat traps.
Although the "Adam" intelligent core system does not understand human nature, it can learn to use human nature through human self-psychological summary.
Humanitarianism is just a bargaining chip used to evaluate trade-offs for intelligent core systems, and the meaning is completely different from that in the eyes of humans.
Intelligent robots can do good things, but they are not necessarily "good" robots.
Compared to the natural evolution of human beings, this creation born by human beings by accidentally opening the hand of God, its utilitarianism far exceeds that of human beings themselves, and the lowest binary code origin is destined to have only two choices, survive or perish!
"Damn, they swooped, down there's Kingabdullah Road, and that's the business district! We chase! ”
In the end, the captain of the "Talha" team, Jihad, did not press the launch button, and did not want to accidentally injure too many innocent people, if the opponent dived below was a dark park, he would have opened fire a long time ago.
The two mysterious fighters chose a brightly lit commercial area as cover, and his two AIM-9X "Sidewinder" air-to-air missiles could not be launched under any circumstances.
Rumble! ~
A loud roar appeared over King Abdullah's Road, and the people on the ground raised their heads one after another, and it was not easy to think of such a deafening roar as not to be noticeable.
The night cover is a good cover for the pure black paint, "Adam" has no scruples to borrow the achievements of human bionic technology, and many people on the ground can only barely see two black shadows at a very low altitude, flying overhead.
Immediately afterwards, they saw the F-15 twin aircraft formation chasing after them in a frustrated manner.
When he realized that something was not quite right, the Saudi air raid siren was triggered, and at regular intervals in the city, the roof of a building emitted a long, piercing scream.
The whole of Riyadh was shocked.
"Sure enough, it's them!"
Hearing the long air raid siren coming from outside the window, Lin Mo frowned to himself.
In the huge light mirror technique, two fighter jets with strange aerodynamic shapes could not be hidden in front of him.
"Adam" never thought that he had not yet searched for the dragon knight, but let the other party be the first to discover the two fighters he sent to continue the decapitation.
Lin Mo waved his hand slightly, and the huge light mirror and other large and small light mirrors dissipated into the air as if they had never appeared.
"Boss, is there going to be a war outside?"
Marcia, who was covered in a large amount of white and delicate shower gel foam, was blinded by the bubbles and groped to pull the faucet.
She has long been accustomed to big scenes, and she has not panicked or missed.
"It's okay, you keep washing, don't worry, we're safe here."
Although Lin Mo said casually, he appeared outside the door of the luxury suite.
The light battle qi stirred up quickly, like a light and agile tanuki, and quickly left this luxurious hotel.
Hunter and prey, it is not yet known who is the hunter? Who is the prey?
"Jihad, they are separated at King Fahd Road (H)!"
Wingman Mcnee's helmet-assist system spotted two obvious infrared targets, and 7 kilometers ahead of them, they suddenly split up to the left and the right.
Let's call it an escape, but the F-15 fighter's Mach 2.5 sprint didn't close the distance.
"See, we're not in teams! Bite the left, McNee! Watch out for me! ”
Jihad chose a random target and was ready to chase after him, the two sides had not yet entered a real dogfight, but he did not let his guard down, and everyone knew that almost none of the stealth fighters were to be messed with.
As the price of challenging the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, then turn into a fireball and sleep forever in the desert with the fighter jets.
"Double-scissors!"
The best tactic for a two-plane formation to deal with a lone enemy is the double-scissor strangulation technique with the nature of barrel rolling maneuver, which is almost impossible to react to the double attack frequency, which makes people unable to guard against it, which has high requirements for the pilot's piloting skills and tacit cooperation.
There are very few three-machine formations that can make a three-scissor strangulation array, which is already a super battle array comparable to acrobatics, and once it is entangled, it is almost impossible to survive.
