Chapter 601: Mix and match two machines

Shouting to get the opponent to leave voluntarily is the first step in the ALSA standard interception process.

At a distance of several hundred meters, there was no impediment to the transmission of radio waves, and Li Gejian was very sure that his opponent would be able to hear his call, unless the guy's radio was malfunctioning or not tuned to the public channel at all. But soon, I heard a rather indifferent response from my opponent in the headset, and it was clear that the guy sitting in the Su-27 had heard his words clearly:

"This is 'NATA' Fighter Plane No. 710, which is on routine patrol, please turn and disengage."

"'NATA' 710, please check your navigation beacon and map information, you have already penetrated about twenty kilometers into the no-fly zone, repeat, you have penetrated about twenty kilometers into the no-fly zone! Please immediately turn to the north and disconnect, or we will take the necessary action. ”

Hearing that the opponent was clearly pretending to be confused, Li Gejian was very patient and engaged in a verbal fight with him back and forth in the call channel, he could see very clearly on the navigation display screen, his beacon had just been corrected once, and the opponent's fighter plane was so close, this guy had indeed crossed the line a long time ago.

Besides, even if he denies it again, will ALSA's AWACS aircraft be mistaken together?

With the back and forth in the air, the routine negotiation was obviously ineffective, Li Gejian was still in the channel to lay out the facts, reasonable, completely lost patience of the opponent but suddenly made a move, only in the field of vision only the tail spout flame bright Su-27 flexible began to press the slope, into the side turn, the huge dark blue fighter unusually fast from the "Attack Eagle" route in front of the sideways, turned around almost around the back of the F-15 twin aircraft flying with the cruise!

Seeing the implicit threat of the opponent's movements, the two "Eagle" fighters reacted quickly. The F-15 commander and wingman who were covering each other immediately cleared left and right and entered the reverse side. The RWR warning alerts that the adversary is already shining radar on them.

at such a close distance. What does this guy want?

At a visual distance of only a few thousand meters, the possibility of using radar-guided missiles between fighters is not very likely, and it is probably only a threat, and the "NATA" Su-27, which is hovering and then climbing with afterburner, does not seem to have any intention of actually firing, at this time the two powerful F-15s have entered a very different plane of flight, and a dogfight between heavy fighters has begun.

Compared with the lightweight and flexible single-seat F-15C, the heavier and more clumsy F-15E "Attack Eagle" was fully activated under the control of Li Gejian, and quickly moved away from the two fighters that were entering the circle, ready to provide timely fire support in the event of an incident and the two sides misfired.

Unlike the long plane, which climbed far higher and broke away from the grappling, the F-15C "Eagle" piloted by Gao Meiyu was maneuvering with the opponent with fierce movements. There was a burst of black vision in front of him because of the violent sideways maneuver; After thwarting the opponent's place-taking attempt with a large overload hover, he suddenly pulled the rod to kick the rudder and entered the defensive barrel to roll and decelerate, because the initial speed of the landline into the circling confrontation was still a bit high, and now it was just right to consume some energy with a continuous large overload and keep the speed near the corner speed, so that it would not be defeated by the Su-27, which is good at horizontal maneuvering, using the instantaneous disc advantage.

The F-15, with its powerful power and simple aerodynamic design, is indeed difficult to take advantage of in the face of the Su-27 in a horizontal hovering confrontation.

In order to cruise in the no-fly zone for a long time and maintain sufficient air combat maneuverability, the two F-15s were not equipped with conformal fuel tanks, but they both carried a drop fuel tank on the center line of the belly. Looking at the current situation, since it has not yet reached the point of real swords and guns, neither of them plans to throw away the fuel tank for the time being. It is inevitable to become a burden to fighters.

But unlike the simple and superficial parameters, the protagonist of the aerial battle is always the pilot, not the fighter; The F-15C, which carries the auxiliary fuel tank in the middle line of the belly, still has a certain advantage in the thrust-to-weight ratio of air combat. Knowing the advantages and disadvantages of the two models, Gao Meiyu did not continue to entangle with the opponent on the horizontal plane, he seized the gap between the double-ring head-on battle and decisively drove the afterburner away from the opponent, and was able to get out of the R-73M missile attack envelope of the Su-27, and then entered the climb to accumulate a certain height, intending to use continuous raids to oppress the opponent, so that it gradually lost energy in evasion, and finally flew away from the no-fly zone honestly.

Of course, judging by the shape of the moment, it seems that it is not impossible to directly try to shoot down this Su-27 by firing, and the million-dollar bounty for the fall seems to be beckoning to him; But unlike the Iraqi Liberal Party's FIAF, the duo are well aware that the Arab League's position is in favour of the new Iraqi party, and they will not actively fire on NATA fighters unless they are threatened with serious threats.

But what if the opponent insists on fighting?

Even now, the violent maneuver followed by a dive, Gao Meiyu, who felt the centrifugal overload, stared at the dark blue Su-27 not far from the front and below, and at the same time called the long plane on the radio, and the two "Eagle" fighters still occupied the advantageous position on the south side of the airspace in the fierce confrontation, so as to press the opponent to the north of the no-fly zone in one fell swoop when the opponent's energy was exhausted.

At present, it seems that the confrontation between the two sides is limited to competing with each other, and the F-15E "Strike Eagle", which was originally highly superior, is gradually diving and accelerating, ready to assist the wingman and the opponent in maneuvering, if this continues, this Su-27 should not have the opportunity to calmly cross the interception line.

Oh、What's that?

Piloting the plane to chase all the way behind the dark blue Su-27, Gao Meiyu suddenly noticed that something flew out under the wing of the target, and his first reaction was "the opponent is launching missiles", and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

But soon he denied this judgment, and the opponent did not attack, but threw away some plug-in!

Yes, just a few seconds ago, barely controlling the zhì fighter and the two F-15 "Eagles", allowing himself to rush left and right, but for a while he could not gain the upper hand, the young man chewing gum in the cockpit pouted his lips a little irritably, and then poked the button and threw away the two R-27ERs at the anchor point under the Su-27SKM air intake.

Today, with the rapid development of missile technology, in the battles that break out over the Middle East, pilots still prefer to carry the old R-27R, AIM-7P and other semi-active radar-guided missiles; Compared with the so-called "fire and forget", that is, the active bullet that attacks completely indiscriminately, it is safer to use the semi-active bomb in the situation of the dog's teeth and the enemy, at least there is no need to scruple to relieve the siege of the comrades.

Today, cruising on the northern border of the no-fly zone with two large artillery guns and four R-73M combat bombs, the No. 710 Su-27SKM piloted by NATA pilots quickly spotted two Liberal "Mirage" 2000s that had entered the no-fly zone from a low altitude. Then he played an aerial contest with the ALSA fighters who came from the south.

At this point in the time of dodging the opponent, the Liberal Party's "Mirage" 2000 has run away, and now it is mixed with two F-15s of the "Middle East Chengguan".

When encountering the F-15 twin planes head-on, due to the lack of superiority in altitude, the Su-27SKM he piloted originally wanted to cross through the interception line and continue to search for the fleeing enemy plane, but was chased and intercepted by two "Hawks" who were obviously not abandoned; The Su-27SKM, which was hung with two R-27ERs and a half-full fuel tank, had no advantage in vertical maneuverability and acceleration ability, and he felt a little tired after hovering back and forth with his opponent for a few rounds, so after a burst of afterburner consumed fuel, he simply threw away two heavy burdens and prepared to travel lightly.

After a few days of groping in the skies of the Middle East, but already knowing the rules of confrontation in the no-fly zone, the young man had long since discovered that the two warplanes that tried to intercept him were from the ALSA, which was relatively biased in favor of the armed forces of the New Party, but the strong competitive spirit still made him decide to give it a go.

Even if you don't really fire, since you can't search for the Liberal Party's "Mirage" 2000, you don't necessarily have to obediently listen to the instructions of these outsiders!

With such thoughts, the young man seems to have forgotten that he is an outsider in this land, and he skillfully controls the fighter plane to continue to hover and change positions in the air, preventing the F-15C with an advantage in height from turning to his rear hemisphere, and at the same time scanning the vast sky in front of him.

In the skies of the Middle East, unlike the usual battlefield situation, fighter jets of the warring parties rarely use low-visibility camouflage, which is unremarkable, and often use a variety of brightly colored and exaggerated paint schemes. The reason for this seemingly undesirable violation of military principles is not only due to the monotonous landscape of the Middle East and the inability to provide a good shelter for fighters, but also because of the presence of an armed force like ALSA, which needs to be visible to the warplanes of all sides to distinguish friend from foe.

When he flew head-on with his opponent just now, the young man sensitively noticed that this group of F-15 twin planes was a little unusual, the F-15C that was chasing him behind had a touch of crimson on the wings, combined with the familiar dark blue arrow-shaped paint of the long plane, so that he couldn't help but desert in the tense aerial confrontation - this kind of long, wingman paint looks like a certain ace combination in the virtual world......

Come to think of it, Ace-Combat-Zero, yes?

But the livery seems to be different, and a mix of single-seat F-15C and a two-seat F-15E, what kind of style is this? (To be continued......)
