"The first reaction after discovering the target, I think it is likely to be an enemy plane flying across the border.

Looking around in the dark night sky, the bright spots that appear below the field of vision gradually become more obvious, as if they are constantly climbing; While I stabilized the joystick from the circle and formed a tail-chasing posture with the target highlights, I also had a little doubt in my heart, my country's relations with Russia and Mongolia were not tense at that time, could this be their fighter?

Or is it not an airplane at all, but a sounding rocket that is accidentally launched from the ground?

I found that the target was constantly climbing, and the Jian-8 fighter I was flying at that time only carried two old Thunderbolt-5 missiles, and if the distance from the target was too large, it would completely lose its interception capability. So I immediately turned on the afterburner, climbed while accelerating, and pursued the target at high speed with a large amount of advance, and at the same time nervously called the command center on the radio, but there was no response, and I could only hear the rustling sound from the headphones, as if it was some electronic interference.

Unable to get any indication from the ground, and seeing that the bright spot was in front of me, I hesitated for a few seconds before deciding to approach and attack if I decided it was a suspicious target.

At that time, I was also a little apprehensive when I made this decision.

Young people, you may not know that in the nineties of the last century, the actions of the Air Force were affected by the overall strategic layout of the country and were subject to much more constraints than now.

In a situation like that time, without an order from the ground command and without a definite basis for identifying friend or foe and making visual observations, the pilots would be quite responsible if they opened fire on unidentified aircraft without authorization in peacetime, causing serious consequences.

But at the time. Because I think the target is very suspicious. In order to be able to further identify the target situation. I turned on the Type 204 radar, which had been newly reequipped on the fighter, to irradiate. However, after the radar was activated, the target interception was not completed at a distance where the naked eye could see the bright spots, which made me feel very confused at the time, and I even thought that it was a small sounding rocket launched by the meteorological department, because the scale was too small to be observed by the radar.

It wasn't until later that I figured out from a technical level that the ground radar station, which had been maintaining air surveillance at that time, had not found an unknown target in the air and could only see my Jian-8 fighter all the time, because the target aircraft had adopted an advanced radar stealth design. Of course, that's all for later.

At that time, I found that the radar was not responding and could not provide target parameters for the fire control system, so I continued to climb to the target while accelerating to Mach 1.3. At this time, the speed of the target represented by the visual estimation bright spot is also very fast, at least above the speed of sound, and the distance between friend and foe is gradually shortening; With the help of the bright moonlight at night, I suddenly realized that it was not a small sounding rocket at all, but a large air target almost the size of the 'H-6' bomber!

Yes, although there are no references in the air, but my naked eye estimates that it should not be bad.

Speaking of which, young man, I think you've probably guessed it.

The flying machine I encountered at that time...... Yes. It's very similar to the aircraft that you've just seen and that have recently appeared around the world, and the two are almost identical. ”

has been listening attentively to Wang Weiguo's story. The surprise in Long Yun's heart had accumulated to a considerable extent at this time, and he seized the opportunity to interject:

"Mr. Wang, you ...... In the Air Force before, I also encountered this mysterious flying machine? -- And as early as 1996 -- "

Asked suspiciously, but Long Yun's words stopped in the middle of the sentence, and he suddenly had a very strange association, 1996......

In 1996, the parallel world I traveled through was-

What is the connection between these two bizarre things?!

Suddenly thinking that this was a completely out of thin air, Long Yun's face became suspicious, and he made a flute on the sofa for a while.

And Wang Weiguo, who was sitting opposite, had probably been immersed in the memories of the past, and after a while, he realized that the young man in front of him had a wrong face; But it was completely different from Long Yun's thoughts, and the guesses and explanations given by this middle-aged man in his heart were far from the young man's true thoughts.

"What, Long Yun, do you remember something?"

"Me? …… No, what comes to mind? I think ...... It's kind of scary, this flying machine. ”

Completely unable to understand what Wang Weiguo meant by "what to remember", Long Yun felt that although his abrupt idea just now was worth thinking about, it did not help solve the current problem in any way, so he put this speculation aside for the time being, and made a small lie to perfunctory Wang Weiguo's inquiry:

"If it is really as you say, then wouldn't this extremely advanced flying machine have already appeared on the earth?"

"Yes. - You can say that, albeit a little scary; Unfortunately, this is also true. ”

His mind fell into the memories of the past again, Wang Weiguo did not delve into the change in Long Yun's demeanor just now, he continued to describe the situation at that time in a slow tone:

"At that time, at first glance, I saw the general outline of the target, which was completely different from the appearance of any fighter plane I had in contact with and understood at that time.

Could it be the UFO, or UFO, that is, the UFO mentioned in magazines and newspapers?

This idea of pure fantasy should be absurd to a fighter pilot, but the scene at that time was truly extraordinary: in the dark and cloudless night sky, a sizable, strange-looking aircraft was in front of him, but the radar had only a faint signal mixed in the chaotic ground echoes, and the radio contact was completely ineffective.

This situation is probably nothing today, but at that time I was completely overwhelmed; It wasn't until I realized that the target had been climbing faster and was about to get out of the missile's range that I suddenly came to my senses and made up my mind to attack.

As an Air Force pilot, no matter what kind of strange scenes you face, you must resolutely defend the airspace of the motherland!

That was the only thought I had at that time.

Since I had made up my mind to fight independently without ground guidance, I further pursued at full speed, and at the same time turned on the pre-power of the missile, and after waiting for a while, I heard the 'Didi' sound of the missile homing head intercepting the target. Knowing that the self-homing head of the Thunderbolt-5 missile was not reliable, I did not leave it to chance, but followed the standard tail-chasing attack mode against maneuvering targets, and after firing one missile, I opened up the distance to occupy a lateral position, and launched both missiles one after another.

Sure enough, after the missile was launched, I opened my eyes and nervously observed the situation ahead, only to see that one of the missiles launched first had obviously lost its self-guidance during the pursuit and was flying away from the target in a straight line. However, the other missile was clearly locked onto the target and was tailgating, and under such launch conditions, it should be able to hit the target that did not maneuver to evade.

However, less than two seconds after the missile thrusters had finished burning and the tail flames had disappeared from view, a large area of light suddenly erupted around the target, and it was an extremely dazzling white light!

Suddenly, I saw such a light directly, and I was briefly blind, and I could barely see anything clearly.

As for the light of this explosion, I later speculated that it should be a jamming bomb released by a mysterious flying machine; But I couldn't think of what it was at the time, and when my vision gradually recovered, I realized that the target in front of me was still flying straight in the sky, and I knew that the missile had not hit, but the landline had no missiles available.

But even so, I felt that the target in front of me was quite threatening, and my fighting spirit was extremely high.

Finding that the missile attack had no effect, I planned to give full play to the high-altitude and high-speed characteristics of the Jian-8 to fight a bayonet-like pursuit battle, and at the same time raised my hand to set up the halo sight in advance, preparing to launch an attack with an aerial gun when approaching the target at high speed to see if I could shoot it down.

As the speed of the fighter gradually increases, the target in the line of sight is clearly gradually caught up by me, but the altitude is getting higher and higher, obviously the power of this aircraft is extremely abundant, and the climb performance is obviously better than that of the J-8 I piloted; Seeing that the target had slightly crossed the horizon of the field of view, but there was no tendency to climb slowly, I immediately took the opportunity to take a sharp jump at a high angle of attack, exchanging speed for a temporary altitude advantage, and my finger was already on the gun firing button.

Before confirming that the target entered the sight and captured, I glanced at the altimeter, and now the enemy and us have reached an altitude of more than 16,000 meters, which is close to the practical ceiling of the Jian-8 fighter's aerial gun!

But......

The change came suddenly in the next moment.

At that moment, when I looked down to check the meter, and then looked ahead again to prepare to aim, the target, which was still about a kilometer away, suddenly became unusually large in my line of sight; It was only a moment before the plane collided with the target, and I realized what the sudden increase in the field of vision meant, but at that time, both sides were very fast and had no time to react.

To this day, I still can't figure out what happened at that time, whether it was a problem with my control, or a sudden change in the target's trajectory, that is, it crashed into itself.

Anyway, without warning, my landline collided violently with the target.

To this day, when I recall the circumstances countless times, I can only vaguely remember the bright tail flame of the target in my sight and the terrible sound of screaming thunder in my ears; Because the impact occurred in an extremely dangerous supersonic situation, the fighter's attitude was completely out of control almost immediately, and the violent overload caused by it caused me to faint on the spot.
