However, today, in the face of ALSA, which has completely changed its tactics and relies on an integrated battlefield command system, the YF-23 fleet, which is showing off its military might, is highly unsuitable.

In the fierce battle, often in the desperate pursuit of the machine, with radar to target the target in the clear blue sky, the RWR will scream, and the sky is full of Arab League fighters waiting for the opportunity to move, and if you are not careful, there will be flying and throwing guns; The traditional principle of "grabbing six points" has almost completely lost its meaning in such a chaotic situation, and no matter how much the fighter plane goes around in circles, climbs strongly, or even dives headlong, the back hemisphere of the "ghosts" is always not clean.

The YF-23, which is not perfect in the rear RCS, is constantly "accidentally" passed by the F-15 with a messy track and takes care of the chrysanthemum, and the stimulation of RWR and missile warning makes the Liberals furious, grabbing the joystick viciously on the seat, almost trying to jump out of the cockpit and grab the damn ALSA pilot and strangle him!

Although love has erupted, death or life in the sky is not as simple as "strangling to death".

From the unilateral enemy attack at the beginning of the engagement to the chaotic chase that complicated the situation, the FSA fighters who had lost the initiative in confrontation step by step, had no time to coordinate and could not coordinate, and the formation formation had long been lost without a trace, and the YF-23 "ghost", which barely maintained the long-wingman match, became the hunting target of the ALSA pilots while chasing the enemy plane.

Unlike the FSA's reckless behavior, the F-15 fleet, which coordinates the battle under the integrated command system, is simply calm.

Driving the eye-catching "Eagle" in the air at an altitude of 10,000 meters. Always maintaining a supersonic state and repeatedly entering into raids, the heavy fighters of the Arab League Defense Air Force do not need to maintain radar or visual contact with enemy aircraft all the time, and try to hover and bite their tails in the thin clear sky. The calm lads only need to assess the situation in the cockpit, with the help of the fire control computer, to identify a target that is easy to attack from behind, and then the pilot's plane calmly approaches, and sends an invitation to death to the "ghosts" who are often still blindly chasing and ignorant of it.

On the one hand, the short-tempered and hasty response to the battle, on the other hand, the rhythm calmly meets the enemy, and the atypical duel of two generations of twin-engine heavy fighters in the sky is becoming more and more unfavorable to the Syrians.

After a long period of hard work, the FSA's "Ghost" fleet has been going on a rough run lately.

The YF-23 fighter unit, which is regarded as a "decisive scimitar" for the Aleppo regime. First of all, the day before yesterday, when the formation was cruising and training tactics, he encountered a group of NATA twin planes, but he was obviously outnumbered by the crowd, but he was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face.

And then again today. Originally, he took the initiative to go south to ignite a war, but he found that the strength of ALSA, which only appeared in small groups in the past and could not be seen, was really strong: although it was equipped with a third-generation aircraft, it could theoretically not compete head-on with stealth fighters in any case, but it was only discovered when it really fought. These experienced mercenaries are simply not what they think. They are by no means a group of "Middle East city managers" who can only fly planes to enforce the law, shoot a few signal flares, and do aerobatics, and it is unambiguous when they really start a large-scale air battle!

There is a gap in the technical generation of the main battle weapons, but they just can't win against the opponent, and with the missiles dragging white smoke through the sky, there are more and more "ghost" fighters that are caught off guard and fall from bullets.

Only five minutes have passed since the two sides met head-on, and the FSA, which was still full of confidence just now, has already lost at least four fighters. The leader himself was almost dealt with on the spot by a "Slammer" chasing from behind, although he was accelerated by an experienced dive with a reverse dive. But he was really scared out of a cold sweat.

Hearing a burst of panicked screams on the radio, the commander who escaped death couldn't help but be afraid, from just now to now, only one subordinate reported hitting an ALSA fighter, if this is the case, in this more and more uncomfortable air battle, the exchange ratio between the two sides will actually reach an incredible one to four, and this is still in the case of the "ghosts" occupy the numerical advantage!

What is the origin of these hateful mercenaries, are they really as the intelligence department said, they are the trump cards in the military secretly sent by the major powers to support the Arab League?

Damn, what kind of ace in the army, thinking of this, the commander shook his head in disgust, thinking that those guys who were engaged in intelligence were daydreaming, who would throw a group of elite pilots of their country into a cruel battlefield like a flesh and blood mill for the sake of a war that happened in another land?

And then again, even if the ALSA on the other side is really elite, the exchange ratio of one to four is too much-

"Ahh Allah, I'm going to be hit by a missile—"

Just when the commander was in a daze and drove the fighter all the way up and down, he saw a black fighter plane in the sky being dragged into a black spot with a line of white smoke; Against the backdrop of the clear blue sky, the distant flashes of explosions and gunpowder smoke are still quite eye-catching, and the unbelievable scene makes the commander take off his goggles and look at the falling fighter plane all the way to the sky, the bloody number of "one to five" seems to jump in front of his eyes, and the angry Syrian can't believe that this is the truth, he angrily wafs his fist in the cockpit, and lets out a frenzied strange scream.

Damn, these elusive ALSA, did they all knock the drugged before they took off!

Decisiveness and calmness, the character qualities necessary for a pilot, have disappeared from the commander at this time, in fact, if he maintains the composure he deserves and keenly observes the battle situation, he will soon be able to find out why the YF-23 fleet is in trouble, if not to turn the tide of the battle immediately, at least he can learn some valuable lessons from it.

The failure of the FSA, which seems to be completely contrary to the performance comparison of the fighters of the two sides, is actually due to the huge gap in the entire set of operational concepts and support systems.

"Whatever weapons are fought", or "whatever wars are fought, whatever weapons are made", there is a certain truth in these two sentences, and it is also possible to explain this fierce confrontation that broke out in the sky.

As far as the ALSA, which belongs to the League of Arab States, is concerned, it has been equipped with a considerable number of twin-engine heavy fighters since its establishment, and although it has been upgrading its airborne equipment, it is an indisputable fact that with the rapid development of military science and technology, it has gradually lagged behind the international advanced level.

Under these circumstances, on the one hand, the Arab League has actively negotiated with the major powers and strived to introduce more advanced main fighters, missile weapons, and airborne subsystems, and on the other hand, it has never relaxed its development of software and hardware in the areas of battlefield monitoring, air situation analysis, and command and control; it has not only spent huge sums of money to purchase A-50M, E-3C, and other early warning platforms from the two camps, but has also established a set of battlefield control and command systems covering most of the Middle East theaters, keeping up with the world's advanced level at the tactical and campaign levels.

With the support of such a set of combat systems, ALSA, which is equipped with third-generation fighters, has actually theoretically mastered the new-generation combat system and tactical tactics supporting the fourth-generation fighters, and after recruiting a large number of outstanding hired pilots and conducting a series of simulation training with the help of modern technology, its combat strength is second to none in the Middle East.

Otherwise, in the Middle East, a hot land of frequent wars, no matter how large the scale, ALSA will not be able to confront the IAF and the Israeli Air Force without falling behind.

Piloting a group of third-generation fighters, but using the tactics of fourth-generation aircraft to meet the enemy, the ALSA now shows a complete set of combat methods can be said to be the nemesis of the typical traditional air combat mode, but the FSA has a large number of fourth-generation "ghost" fighters, but there is neither equipment support, nor enough training to support a new type of air combat, still use the idea of the third-generation aircraft to use the YF-23, just as a low detectability, weapons built-in "super third-generation aircraft", it is really reasonable to lose to ALSA.

The truth is as simple as that, but the ALSA and FSA pilots don't have time to think about it all the way through the sky to dodge missiles.

In the face of the backward equipment but surprisingly strong Arab League Defense Air Force, the "ghosts" flying like headless flies in the sky are really a little stumbling, without system support, and unable to play a little cooperation, the anxious Liberals can only blindly rely on the high-speed flight performance of the YF-23 and the opponent to fight to the death, and carry out a plunder and counter-raid contest with little chance of winning.

In the heat of battle, the FSA pilots, who had some training, also knew what the advantages of their vehicles were, and they did their best to pull the rod and attack, occasionally firing ASRAAM attacks in order to eliminate these hateful opponents from medium distance. However, the cunning and cunning ALSA fleet hardly gave them a chance, and the F-15s in the sky with roaring engines and fierce momentum either followed far behind to release cold guns, or swarmed around to shoot "Sidewinder", and the ingeniously designed tail infrared shielding of the "Ghost" fighter did not play much role in front of the AIM-9X with an infrared imaging seeker.

The Syrians, who were completely unaccustomed to the ALSA system, quickly paid a heavy price despite their best efforts and shot down two F-15s before they retreated, losing seven YF-23s in the furious maelstrom of fighters.

In the melee, seeing that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to his side, the black fighter plane dragging thick smoke all the way in the sky pierced the commander's nerves, and the original trace of revenge obsession was replaced by an irrepressible fear. (To be continued......)
