In the past month, the Middle East has seen an increase in the number of Syrian rebel warplanes painted with crescents, and their activities have become more and more unscrupulous.

Although no one can really count the intricate air battlefield, just like today, the F-15 twin planes, which were distracted by the distraction of monitoring the strong enemy in the northern sky, quickly found themselves surrounded by a group of people, who had launched a wave of BVR attacks and killed an FSA fighter plane.

Hearing the RWR alarm ringing in the cockpit, Li Gejian, who was piloting the F-15E "Attack Eagle", and his partner staggered left and right, circling to look at the sky pointed by the radar warning instrument, but found nothing, at this time, Gao Meiyu, who was hovering in the opposite direction of the long plane, keenly found a blurred black spot close to the high altitude, and he immediately shouted to his partner to pay attention to his eight o'clock direction, but heard the same words in the headset:

"Keep an eye on you, Miwa! -- I have caught them, there are two enemy planes, the height is 3,000, and the distance is less than 9,000 meters. ”

"-Understood! There are also behind you, I can see their silhouettes clearly, how to fight? ”

"And, too?"

Originally, he was concentrating on intercepting the remnants of the enemy in the direction of eleven o'clock, but Li Gejian suddenly turned around and saw the approaching threat, "There are too many enemy planes, and they are fighting separately, pay attention to maintaining the height difference!" ”

In addition to the group of enemy planes that had been the first to attack, and now suddenly found that there were enemies on all sides, the F-15 twin partners realized that the situation was not good and immediately decided to fight separately. In the face of an outnumbered and seemingly premeditated ambush enemy, this should be said to be a relatively sensible strategy. It is to strive for surprise: compared with the air combat in which ordinary people subconsciously cooperate with two planes and fight traditional long wingmen when facing a strong enemy. Pilots who "go their separate ways" need to be optimistic about six points on their own. However, it will also introduce more variables to the battle situation, and may be able to directly disrupt the opponent's attack rhythm.

It was decided to divide the troops to meet the enemy, and the two F-15 fighters threw away the auxiliary fuel tanks at the same time and coincidentally drove the afterburner to speed up.

In the face of the multi-directional envelopment of the FSA fighters, Gao Meiyu, who was still far away from the tail chasing enemy aircraft, decisively entered the spiral climb and separated from the long plane into different maneuvering airspace, and at the same time paid attention to the enemy who had not been killed; The enemy planes that were touched at low altitude approached a very dangerous distance, and Li Gejian's "attack eagle" did not have time to accelerate to get rid of the opponent, he just kept accelerating in level flight, and soon broke through the sound barrier to Mach 12.

At an altitude of 3,000 meters, Mach 1.2 flew and accelerated, in the eyes of the Liberal rebel pilots. This is to escape in a smoke, and the two F-16Cs that formed a two-plane formation hurriedly launched two AIM-9L "Sidewinders"; While the afterburner was racing wildly, he also paid attention to the movement behind him, and found the gray and white smoke rising from under the wings of the tail chasing the enemy, and noticed that the enemy had launched missiles, but Li Gejian did not make more evasive actions, but blindly pushed the throttle valve with his left hand, and the "attack eagle" that was running the engine at full speed flew forward.

In the face of the enemy's missile pursuit, Li Gejian, who immediately judged that it was not a radar-guided missile such as a "Sparrow" or "Slime" and identified the enemy plane as a "Fighting Falcon," made up his mind to compete with the missile in endurance.

Sure enough, in the face of the F-15E dragging the cyan tail flame in the clear sky, the two slender "rattlesnakes" tried to catch up in the sky, but they still fell down due to lack of range; But only in a short period of time. Another group of F-16 twin planes that were originally chasing Gao Meiyu turned around in a circle, and saw more and more sharp-shaped "Fighting Falcons" in the sky. also knew that these fighters were imported into Syria from Turkey, Li Gejian frowned behind his goggles.

The rebels' fighters, no matter how many they are, when did they become so arrogant?

In a flash of thought, the lever entered the high angle of attack to climb, replacing the accumulated speed with potential energy, and Li Gejian, who threw off two AIM-9L, let the landline return to below the speed of sound, and he tried his best to maintain the flight speed within the advantage range of the F-15 fighter, while fighting against the "Fighting Falcons" flying around.

Based on the comparison between the "Eagle" fighter and the "Fighting Falcon", the F-15 two-plane partner now has a very clear idea of engaging the enemy, that is, to avoid fighting with the "Fighting Falcon" with agility, low-altitude and low-speed maneuverability, and to kill each other in an instantaneous manner, but to try to seize the dominance of this confrontation and bring the air combat to the high-speed circling and entanglement in which the "Eagle" has the advantage.

Of course, this is the plan of the ALSA twin planes, and the Liberal pilots flying the "Fighting Falcon" are not idiots, they initially staggered from multiple directions, intended to suppress the opponent's maneuvering space with a wave of melee missiles, and then surround them in one fell swoop. Now, seeing the speed of the gray giant eagle in the sky soaring, and always trying to climb to a high altitude, several F-16C/D invariably increased the angle of attack and entered the upward turn of chasing me together, intending to deal with the low-altitude enemy plane first.

Seeing that in this complex situation, there was no way to lock on to the target and launch radar-guided missiles, and the F-15 in sight was running fast again, and the attack envelope of the "Sidewinder" could not be caught.

Ah, oh my God, what's that?

Although there is an absolute superiority in numbers, it is not properly coordinated because of training and impatience, and the most practiced usually is the two-plane cooperative combat and over-the-horizon line of sight to shoot the battle, and now the FSA pilots facing the ALSA twin planes have suffered a loss.

His eyes were fixed on the "eagle" in the sky to catch up, and he was still grabbing with the aiming halo in the heads-up, but the pilot suddenly caught a glimpse of a flash of light in the corner of his eye, and as soon as he turned his head, he found the residual image of the fireball exploding in the sky, and the "Fighting Falcon" rolling in the thick smoke, this was - but before he could figure out the situation, he heard a loud explosion, felt a burst of impact and made all his internal organs fall down, and before he lost consciousness, he thought of the landline move, and the panicked pilot raised his hand and pulled the ejection handle, Then he fell into a complete coma in the roaring storm of air.

Part of it was taking advantage of the altitude difference between the enemy and us, and part of it was taking advantage of the initial velocity of the carrier aircraft, and the F-15C, which had superior weapons, seized the opportunity to plunder successfully.

Circling around and finding an opportunity, Gao Meiyu pushed into the dive, intercepted the first target with a helmet sight and immediately launched the "Sidewinder" missile, and then instantly turned his gaze and fired a second AIM-9X at another F-16D at two o'clock, using its overload limit of more than 50G to intercept the opponent.

The unsuspecting FSA fighter was bitten by the "Sidewinder", which threw out a large bend immediately after launch, and turned from a brilliant orange fire into a huge torch in the sky.

In the face of the chaotic Liberal F-16 fighters, two of them were directly reimbursed with a tacit fishing cooperation, and the partners who kept in touch on the radio were preparing to drive these pesky "Fighting Falcons" out of the no-fly zone in one go. Who would have thought that at this moment, in the cockpit of the two "Eagles" and the frightened "Fighting Falcon", the pilots heard a call from the Middle East public communication channel in the headphones:

"Listen to all the fighters in the air, you have gone deep into the 'Syrian no-fly zone', and now immediately disengage and turn back! To repeat, you have entered the 'Syrian no-fly zone', immediately disengaged and returned! ”

“…… Disengagement? ”

was writhing with the FSA fighters in the sky, and Li Gejian, who heard the warning on the public channel, raised his eyebrows, what is the situation, could it be those planes from the European Community who came to take care of things?

But this word is full of English, how does it sound like a woman's voice, at this time, the voice of his partner Gao Meiyu came, sitting in the F-15C that had just completed a raid and was accelerating the climb, and the shouting just now also made him feel very surprised:

"Ge Jian, what are they ...... Combined EC Army? ”

"Not sure, but probably yes," although he heard the call, he didn't believe it lightly, Li Gejian was still nervously maneuvering the fighter plane to avoid the missiles flying in the direction of eight o'clock, and the high-G pressure that turned violently sideways made him speechless for a while, "...... Note, pay attention to observation, and if it is determined to be,...... Don't take the initiative to conflict with them. ”

"Okay, don't be careless Ge Jian, let's kill the tail biting one first!"

Piloting the fighter plane hovering at an altitude of 4,500 meters, at this time, the number of the landline received the air verification identification code, and saw the orange character on the display screen prompting "Sender: ECJA", Gao Meiyu was still not careless, everything else on the battlefield could be fake, only the enemy in the flat display must be real.

With such vigilance, he still cooperated with the long plane to come to a two-plane staggered fishing, seeing that the "Fighting Falcon" piloted by the FSA pilot had no intention of stopping, and was still chasing behind Li Gejian's "Attack Eagle", he was planning to dive again and hit a second beautiful air kill; At this time, something strange suddenly appeared in the clear and cloudless sky, and thin and narrow white smoke trails appeared in the line of sight in a radial shape.

A brief burst of white smoke streaked across the trail of blinding orange light, which was a cluster flare fired by a fighter jet.

Li Gejian and Gao Meiyu both realized that "EJCA fighters are approaching", and in a blink of an eye, they saw several white fighters in the sky rushing all the way and hovering at high speed around the airspace where the air battle had just broken out. (To be continued......)
