Chapter 706 Cluster Electronic Interference
As soon as he saw the launch prompt of the fire control system, Long Yun immediately launched a missile attack first.
Faced with an opponent with superior numbers, but first launched a missile salvo, Long Yun's battle table fully illustrates a convention in air combat, that is, "you can only hit when you see it, and you may not be able to hit it if you see it."
That is, sitting quietly in the training room and watching the battle without saying a word, I saw from the holographic display that the Long Yun landline had launched the first wave of missile attacks, and at this time, the "lightning" seven or eighty kilometers away from the "Yanlong" were still accelerating and climbing in vain, trying to increase the flight altitude to meet the attack conditions of the AIM-120D missile, Lu Chunjiang put his right hand on the trackball and did not move, but raised his eyebrows slightly.
Yes, with the strong flight performance of the "Yanlong", it is normal for the enemy to fire first and even shoot down a batch of enemy aircraft; The key is the battle situation behind, how will this kid who feels good about himself deal with it?
After all, even if it is a "Yanlong" with a long body and weight, the number of missile mounts is not endless......
In the huge training room, Colonel Lu, who had a calm expression, was still calmly watching the battle. Sitting in the simulator and shooting the first batch of over-the-horizon missiles, seeing one PL-15K disappearing into the sky in front of him with bright tail flames, Long Yun's operation did not stop.
With the help of the multi-target attack capability of the fire control system, he immediately side-stroked and turned after launching the first wave of missile attacks, and the X-8A "Yanlong" with a long fuselage calmly drew an arc track in the sky at an altitude of nearly 30,000 meters, and soon turned to the direction of another "Lightning" group with the astonishing speed of Mach 3, and the fire control system had already been solved and was ready to attack.
The distance between friend and foe is 70 kilometers. The target height is 10,000 meters. The system prompts "Ready to fire"!
A salvo of over-the-horizon missiles has just been carried out. At this time, several PL-15K missile homing heads that were stuck in the air were not turned on, but were still on the way to fly according to the medium-range correction command. However, compared with the fire control system on the fighter plane, the processing power of the fire control center of the fighter aircraft is obviously more powerful, and with the help of the omnidirectional target tracking capability of the distributed radar, even if the fighter turns to engage in other directions, it can maintain the medium-range guidance of the previous batch of missiles.
The "Yanlong", who had just taken over the full state, did not know much about the performance of the fighter, and Long Yun still carried out this series of operations under the prompting of the fire control system.
But even so. In the over-the-horizon air combat with a clear rhythm and the first hand, the strangeness of this control still has little effect, and as the fingers are clicked on the launch button, the door of the belly bomb compartment of the "Yanlong" plane, which is quickly breaking through the air, suddenly opens, and it is a spectacular scene of milky white missiles ejecting out of the warehouse and igniting the blue sky!
Taking advantage of the flight performance of the assault planes and seizing the altitude and attack position, Long Yun's continuous missile attacks suddenly disrupted the attack rhythm of the "Lightning" aircraft group.
Considering the amount of simulation computing of 100 fighters, it is not unbearable for SFM7560, but due to the limitation of the computing power of the processor, the corresponding tactical arrangement cannot be perfected. Rather, it comes with a certain pre-routine.
Let's talk about it now, in terms of the flight performance of the F-35. The strategy of over-the-horizon confrontation against the "Yanlong" can be said to be unwise from the beginning; After a period of hard flight, a large number of "lightning" approaching the Longyun landline from the direction of ten o'clock finally obtained a short shooting window, and one by one the gray-white AIM-120D came out of the belly magazine, ignited and accelerated and flew away, but at this time, more than ten PL-15Ks flying in the sky had already flown most of the distance, and were showing their fangs to the "lightning" that was still providing mid-course command correction for the missile!
Tens of kilometers away, with a muzzle velocity of more than Mach 3, the ramjet-engined PL-15K flew from here to there, and it only took a minute.
With the arrival of missiles, white smoke and explosions and flames suddenly appeared in the sky, almost drowning the disjointed F-35 fleet in a sea of flashes and debris in an instant, plunging the "Lightning" fleet that had just launched the attack into a brief chaos.
After launching the missiles, they were slowing down, preparing to disengage at the right time and temporarily evade, and although the "Lightning" fleet in the front and rear formations knew that the opponent's missiles were on the way, they had no other way to think of it, so they could only bite the bullet and eat this wave of attacks, and the orange fire of the fighters' explosion and disintegration and the gray-black smoke that followed immediately bloomed in the sky.
In just a few seconds, three fighters in the scattered F-35 fleet were unfortunately shot!
Suffering such losses just after the battle obviously does not bode well for the large number of "Lightning" aircraft.
Although the missiles launched by the three fighters that had just been hit could still be provided by the rest of the fighters to provide mid-range commands, looking at this situation, by the time the belated "Slammers" flew to the predetermined target position, the enemy planes with amazing speed would probably have already been greased on the soles of their feet, and they would not even be able to see a shadow!
The gap in the performance of the airframe, in the case of combat without the support of the network system, leads to a one-sided combat result.
Relying on the excellent flight capability of the "Yanlong" and the multi-target engagement function of the fire control system, Long Yun, who flew a Mach 3 landline plane to quickly enter the combat airspace in the airspace above 20,000 meters, shot down five F-35s that were caught off guard or unfavorable in evasion in the first wave of attacks, and he did not even do even a little maneuver to evade the batch of over-the-horizon missiles launched by the opponent: he wanted to attack the "Yanlong" flying at an altitude of more than 24,000 meters and its position was still changing rapidly. This target parameter can be said to be as perverted as the SR-71 (of course, the "Yanlong" can fly more perverted), the AIM-120D missile's thrusters were completely burned out as early as the process of climbing and fighting, but with the limited overload capacity of the unpowered flight section, these "Slammers" dragging white smoke to draw a parabola basically did not even see the appearance of the target, and fell into the embrace of the earth forever.
In just two or three minutes, earth-shaking changes can take place on the battlefield of air combat.
Two batches of a total of 12 PL-15K missiles were launched, and five enemy planes were eliminated at a distance of 80 kilometers, which is a bit unimaginable for ordinary fighters. However, when he was piloting the plane to patrol the sky and unilaterally slaughter the "lightning" fighters flying everywhere below, Long Yun did not feel fluttering.
Recovering from the joy of observing the display, he quickly realized that the killing efficiency of over-the-horizon missiles could not be changed by the assault aircraft; In other words, the exchange ratio of 12 missiles for 5 targets may not be ugly, but if he continues to do this, then when all the missiles are exhausted, will he have to give up this combat method of unilaterally shooting the opponent at will, and rush down with dozens of "Lightning" cannons?
Realizing that the tactic of "missiles lining up and shooting" could not last, Long Yun looked at the weapon mount and showed that he was going to pilot the fighter to approach the "Lightning" group that had just been whipped once, and use a similar method to shoot out the remaining twelve PL-15Cs, and then decisively give up the altitude advantage and enter a life-and-death aerial artillery confrontation with these "ball lightning".
After all, if you want to talk about the combat gun, the GAU-12 25mm rotary tube gun equipped with some models of the F-35 "Lightning" is quite prominent in the configuration of fighter aircraft guns, but compared with the electromagnetic gun, it is like a toy.
As for why the fighter jet doesn't follow the trend and install a powerful electromagnetic cannon like the assault aircraft, it is first necessary to install a super-high-power driving motor and energy storage device in the fuselage, which is far from being as convenient as the assault aircraft can directly use the hydrogen crystal to convert it into electrical energy for the second time, so the ensuing structural overweight is too terrible, and it has actually become an impossible solution.
So if you want to talk about the fighting cannon, even if there are a lot of opponents, the "Yan Dragon" he controls doesn't need to be afraid!
With this idea in mind, Long Yun's control was the same as before, he continued to drive the high-speed flying plane over the war zone, and soon circled back to the front of the two large aircraft groups that had been locked just now.
In this process, the RWR of the landline, and even the missile detection system have not stopped ringing, obviously the "lightning" that can be seen in all directions, or cannot be seen, are doing their best to intercept, but in the face of the "Yanlong" dragging the blue-blue flames on the 10,000-meter height difference overhead, the F-35's missile attack is obviously a little pale, as a result, he was not disturbed, and calmly occupied a good over-the-horizon interception position, and now just wait for the fire control system to give an order, it is another missile out of the sheath!
With such thoughts, after waiting for a while but not getting a hint, Long Yun looked at the large sky outside the cockpit suspiciously, and then stared at the display screen to study for a while, at first he was a little unclear about the situation, and then he found that the situation had changed in a new way.
In the scene presented on the large-screen display, the target trajectories of the two "Lightning" groups, which had been smoothly tracked, were already somewhat scattered, and the calculation of the fire control system was also disturbed and could not be carried out; Long Yun is actually no stranger to this phenomenon theoretically, but this is the first time he has personally witnessed it in the confrontation of large aircraft groups, and these "lightning" fighters have obviously suffered a loss from an over-the-horizon confrontation, and are now gathering together to carry out swarm electronic jamming countermeasures.
In the face of the distributed radar system of the "Yanlong", the electronic jamming effect of a single "Lightning" is not ideal, and it can be said that it is better than nothing; However, just as it is now, if multiple fighters are assembled for unified operation and targeted interference with the irradiation beam of the opponent's fire control radar, it can be said that the effect will be immediately multiplied many times, and there will be an immediate masking effect.
