Chapter 453: High-Altitude Assault Battle

Whether the F-34 chasing after the tail is hung with the "immortal bird", of course, only Stanley knows best.

"Small, small! - Don't run, what kind of situation is this! ”

As the fighter plane attack in the vast sky continued, Stanley, who was controlling the fighter plane all the way, felt more and more that this was not a war at all, but someone was leading him by the nose, and he continued to shout in the simulator out of control, although no one could hear it at this time.

Facing an opponent 40 kilometers away in front of him who was flying wildly at Mach 2.2 at high speed, although he was also pursuing at full speed with full strength, even if he really caught up, what would it do? Under the combat conditions of twice the speed of sound, he knows very well that the attack envelope of the AIM-120D has been completely shrunk and twisted, and it may be difficult to trap the opponent, let alone the aircraft gun with a limited range.

It's really bullshit, how can there be such a way of playing!

I knew that if I came up to compete, the result was that he ran faster than anyone, and he might as well drive the F-15 to catch up with the Chinese in front!

While frantically maneuvering the fighter to step up the pursuit, Stanley almost forgot that this was a battle that broke out at sea, and the F-15, which had excellent high-speed interception capabilities, could not take off from the aircraft carrier. Not to mention that even if it is an F-15, it will not be able to fly to the maximum speed of Mach 2.5 after two missiles are attached, and the advantages of the fourth-generation aircraft with fully built-in ammunition in the face of the third-generation aircraft are so comprehensive, it is really completely rampant!

Thereupon......

Under the gaze of all the spectators, two heavily armed and built-in fourth-generation heavy carrier-based fighters rushed at full speed over the vast ocean one after the other, and this bizarre sight not only made the pursuer Stanley feel extremely annoyed. It also whetted the appetite of all the audience - or rather, began to complain intolerably.

"W-What kind of rhythm is this? How did you become a deserter? ”

"Is it the 'May' wingman who has no missiles? - That's not right. Look and show he still has five missiles, which are-"

"Who knows? He must have gone to catch another 'machine qì cat'. ”

"--Don't mention 'machine qì cat' again! This is a blatant insult and slander, I am not finished with you! ”

In the airspace close to the "May" aircraft carrier, the two fighters were still staging a scene of speed racing; And in the east of the ocean, which is not far away, the J-30 long plane piloted by Lin Feng is also about to reach the ideal distance for launching an attack.

Skimming at a speed of 800 kilometers per hour on the undisturbed blue sea, maintaining an ultra-low-altitude flight posture of less than 30 meters, a large area of the sea is rapidly swept back in the line of sight, and the water antenna in the distance is so high that people have the illusion of sneaking underwater in a trance. In the high-altitude flight just now. Using the 1493 radar to determine the approximate coordinates of the enemy's aircraft carrier, he decisively switched to an ultra-low-altitude sea-skimming flight, judging from the navigation information, he was still 150 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier, and he could launch an anti-ship attack in about eight minutes!

Nervously piloting the fighter plane to maintain a sea-skimming flight, due to the long distance, Lin Feng could no longer receive the radio signal of the wingman at this time, he could only recall the instructions sent by Long Yun just now to plan the next move. "Wait for the opportunity to move, be sure to preserve your strength", which means to let yourself play a defensive counterattack and not lightly enter the aircraft carrier's close-range anti-aircraft fire kill zone?

With absolute confidence in the tactics formulated by Long Yun, Lin Feng planned the attack route of the two YJ-83K missiles on the touch monitor. But I was also speculating in my heart, how was the air battle of the first brother of "May" in the back?

Just when Lin Feng approached the "Polaris" aircraft carrier at an ultra-low altitude. The "Polaris" wingman flying at an ultra-low altitude over the northern sea has also been detected by Long Yun's "Shenglong".

In the process of driving the J-30 to rush forward to search, because he could not make a turn maneuver at will, so as not to be chased by the pursuers behind him using the tangential pursuit method, Long Yun almost did not adjust after determining the initial flight direction, and he calculated very clearly before that the "silent cat" that used the high-low route attack should appear in what direction and what the distance was on the aircraft carrier, and after about 15 minutes of supersonic speed, he found a fast-moving target with a very low altitude on the sea surface with the radar downward view mode.

Unlike the real battlefield, which is intricate and difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, Long Yun does not need to carry out IFF identification, and can immediately conclude that it should be the wingman of the "North Star", and by looking at its flight mode, he knows that it must also have anti-ship missiles and is approaching the aircraft carrier waiting for the opportunity to launch a sneak attack!

For high-altitude interceptor fighters, the discovery of low-altitude targets on the sea surface often means that the opponent has completely fallen into passivity.

Unlike the complex terrain and landform on land, the sea surface, which is almost as smooth as a mirror from a macro point of view, cannot provide any ground clutter and terrain cover for low-altitude fighters, and the dense atmosphere close to the sea level limits the maximum flight speed of fighters, and it is difficult to escape calmly in the face of high-altitude attacks.

Just like now, after discovering the target, Long Yun immediately entered the dive, Long Yun knew that the "Polaris" long plane behind would also chase closely, unlike the previous situation of calmly chasing and harassing the "Polaris" long plane, the threat of enemy planes approaching the aircraft carrier to tens of kilometers increased significantly, this time his action must be fast!

Rushing down from a height of 10,000 meters, sprinting to the enemy plane at 10 o'clock at a very high speed, the realistic feel of the simulator made Long Yun feel that the tremor of the body was intensifying, and he flexibly used the full-motion vertical tail of the "Shenglong", and the use of the speed brake to control the dive speed of the fighter should not be too fast. Otherwise, in the process of rapid dive with the rapid reduction of flight altitude, it is easy for the fighter to unknowingly cross the safety boundary of the flight envelope, which will not only lead to the deterioration of control quality and the possibility of uncontrolled crashing, but also more likely to affect the strength of the airframe due to the violent temperature rise in the dense atmosphere, resulting in extremely severe consequences such as disintegration in the air.

The "silent cat" that controls the attitude of the fighter and the low altitude in front of it quickly dives, and the control of accurately controlling the maximum speed is simply an art; Stanley, who was chasing closely behind, although he also drove the F-34 with full afterburner, did not dare to fly too fast because he was afraid of the restrictions of aerodynamic heating and control.

But even so, the design of the variable sweep wing of the "Silent Cat" he piloted has an advantage in speed, and the maximum speed of Mach 1.4 at sea level inherited from the "Tomcat" is by no means in vain, in this almost extreme competition he finally gradually caught up, but at this time, Long Yun's "Ascending Dragon" was already about to catch up with the "Polaris" wingman in front, and the original pursued person immediately became the pursuer in another competition!

Facing the "Silent Cat" covered with AGM-84, this is a speed contest without suspense.

Hearing the RWR alarm in the cockpit gradually sounding, the X-band coded scan told the "Polaris" wingman that it was the AN/APG-80 of the long plane that was shining on him, and then he heard the shouting on the radio:

"Enemy planes! At four o'clock,—— look at the display! ”

Piloting four Harpoon missiles mounted on it, and since its departure, it has taken a typical high-low-high combat profile to make a sneak attack, and the "Polaris" wingman's previous flight has been smooth; So Stanley's sudden roar surprised him, and when he saw the red bright spot on the multifunction display in front of him behind him, he realized that he had been unknowingly discovered by his opponent.

Counting the coordinates of the enemy plane transmitted by the chain, the opponent's tail chase distance is now less than 8,000 meters!

Thinking that the "Silent Cat" he was driving was still staggering forward at a speed of 800 kilometers per hour, and that the supersonic pursuers behind him were already approaching, the "Polaris" wingman immediately increased the thrust of the engine and started the afterburner climb, and his current plan was to at least throw the "Harpoon" out. As the F-34 with an increased angle of attack began to climb sharply with a bright tail flame, Long Yun, who was following closely behind, could clearly see in the locking image provided by the EOS system, he knew that his opponent was going to jump, lock onto the aircraft carrier and launch missiles, and now he had to take immediate action!

Above the dark blue sea level, the F-34 climbing with afterburner and the J-30 swooping and chasing are getting closer to each other.

The speed difference close to Mach 0.5 made the "Rising Dragon" attack look extremely accurate and sharp, and just when the "Silent Cat" jumped into position and turned on the radar to lock on the target in front of him, Long Yun had suddenly occupied the best attack position at six o'clock behind the opponent's tail!

The value returned by laser ranging is 3,500 meters, which is the limit that PL-10 can reach at low altitude for the "silent cat" who is desperately accelerating, and Long Yun immediately clicked on the screen with his fingers like flying, used EOS to lock the "Charizard" in front of the afterburner, and then fired decisively.

With the click of a finger on the button, the bomb compartment on the right side of the J-30 fuselage suddenly flipped over, and the missile ignited and flew away in an instant, not relying on the homing head to intercept, but using fire control to indicate the target direction for the missile is the fastest way to attack, and the milky white PL-10 flying away from the slide immediately stared at the target with a dazzling tail flame in front, at this time, the "silent cat" had just completed the lock and began to launch the missile, and the shape in the sky suddenly became unprecedentedly nervous!

Witnessing the missile launch race ahead on the radar display, Stanley's emotions were already in a frenzy at this time.

The long-distance attack just now, not only did he not catch the Mist-Dragon, but also consumed a lot of additional fuel on the basis of the low-altitude raid with anti-ship missiles, and now he no longer dares to use afterburner unscrupulously.

But even so, seeing that the attack of the "May" wingman was launched in front of him, and the partner who was still busy firing the "Harpoon" in front of him was probably in a catastrophe, he was still angry and used the STT mode to lock on to the Longyun landline that was being frantically pursued, and pressed the button to shoot two AIM-120Ds to carry out the tail chase attack!
