On the military airfield, a fighter jet painted in dark gray was slowly driving out of the hangar.

The two small canard wings at the front of the fighter plane rotated a few times on all sides, and then returned to a horizontal state.

The full-motion tail also rotated a few times to verify the balance of the fighter itself.

As the first batch of units in the Southeast Military Region to be reequipped with J-20 fighters.

Shi Hu has felt unbelievable until now!

There are so many troops in the whole army, and they are the first to be equipped with the most advanced fighters!

Of course, this excludes professional Blue Army units that have long been exploring the tactics of air combat with fourth-generation aircraft.

The first edition of the fourth-generation aircraft operation manual was almost all written by them in the midst of various confrontations.

After receiving the command that the tower was allowed to take off.

Shi Hu slowly pushed the lever in his hand, and the two domestic WS-10 engines spewed out azure flames.

Two distinct heat waves were created on the runway.

Even from a distance of tens of meters, you can feel the roar of these two industrial crowns!

After accelerating nearly 400 meters, Shi Hu drove the fighter jet to rise on the runway!

With a large inclination angle, straight into the sky!

After takeoff, the fighter was quickly raised.

In just a few minutes, the cruising altitude has been reached, 18,000 meters!

At high altitude, the cabin is pressurized to maintain normal air pressure, otherwise the pilot will explode directly.

Shi Hu wears a mask that delivers oxygen on his face, and in front of him is a holographic helmet that can display the fighter's data and the perspective of multiple sensors.

"Dongyi, the combat readiness cruise mission is about to be launched, and the communication frequency band is about to be closed."

Shi Hu routinely reported to the ground command center.

This kind of operation has been done many times in the past many trainings.

A behavior that borders on instinct is formed.

But this time, it's not training, it's really going to start a combat readiness cruise!

In fact, this can be seen at the time of takeoff.

Under the belly of the fighter, there is no Lomb lens hoisted.

This means that after the fighter plane ascends to the sky, no one knows where he is unless he takes the initiative to contact the ground!

The current J-20 fighter, with its stealth structure and stealth materials, has made the radar reflection area of the fuselage less than 0.01 square meters.

The area shown on the radar is not even as good as that of a wild goose gliding at high altitude.

This means that not only the enemy cannot detect it, but also its own people.

This, of course, is a good thing during war, but in times of peace, it is easy for some unnecessary accidents to occur.

Especially with civil aviation, it is easy to have contradictions.

Therefore, when the fighter is training on weekdays, a dragon lens will be hung under the belly of the aircraft so that everyone can see it.

However, this time Shi Hu is going to carry out a combat readiness cruise mission.

Everything is in line with the state of war.

So I didn't carry the Lomb lens.

Shi Hu's task today is not difficult, just to fly around the border territorial waters of the motherland by piloting the fighter jet.

If nothing happens, just fly from north to south.

However, if they encounter planes from other countries, then Shi Hu needs to take action and drive them away.

Flying high in the sky, it is almost impossible to see the blue sea below 10,000 meters.

However, the blue sky can be seen at any time, and it is already at the height of the stratosphere, and there is no violent upward and downward convection.

The fighter is equipped with an active phased array radar capable of detecting 250 km!

This distance is a relatively terrifying number for today's fighters.

After all, today, most air combat distances still take place within 100 kilometers.

Radar that can scan up to 200 kilometers away is still very rare.

Basically, only the platform is much larger, and the AWACS aircraft equipped with a large radar can exceed this distance.

In the first 30 minutes of the cruise, Shi Hu flew a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers with the fighter plane.

He did not let the fighter cruise at maximum speed, otherwise thirty minutes would be enough for him to fly two thousand kilometers.

After all, no suspicious targets have been found now, and at a speed of Mach 1.8, it is relatively fuel-efficient.

Just when Shi Hu thought that his first combat readiness cruise was going to end safely.

Soon, the unexpected happened.

An unidentified aircraft was flying from the northeast to the southwest.

The active phased array radar quickly obtained the target's bearing, distance, speed, altitude, heading, and other data.

From these data, it is not difficult for Shi Hu to draw conclusions.

This was supposed to be a fighter from other countries, flying over the eastern sea borders.

Strictly speaking, this behavior of the other party has entered the airspace of our country, which is a very serious problem!

In the past, because the range of the fighter plane was insufficient, it was impossible to cruise here, and most of them were unaware of this situation, and when the few were informed, they were almost powerless.

Today, Shi Hu flies the most advanced fighter in the world.

It is finally possible to clear these planes that are acting recklessly in our maritime airspace.

The height of the other party is much lower than his own.

Shi Hu maneuvered the fighter plane and flipped down in height.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and Shi Hu has been displaying the other party's flight data in front of him.

Even the data has been imported into the magazine inside the belly.

As long as Shi Hu opens the built-in magazine and presses the launch button, he will be able to destroy the opponent.

In less than a minute, Shi Hu had already reached a hundred kilometers behind the other party.

At this distance, the Thunderbolt 9-D missile is enough to give the opponent a thunderous blow.

However, Shi Hu was not so impulsive, but rationally adjusted the radar mode to the tracking mode.

In tracking mode, the radar will continue to illuminate the target, which can be understood as a fire control radar lock.

The fighter on the opposite side obviously hadn't spotted Shi Hu behind him at this time.

However, the radar warning receiver on board was apparently working, and began to continuously sound a shrill siren to the pilots in the cabin.

The other party began to increase the thrust in an attempt to escape from Shi Hu's radar lock range.

But this is doomed to be in vain.

Shi Hu's radar performance far exceeds that of the other party, and it is difficult for the other party to turn out the palm of Shi Hu's hand.

Moreover, in terms of supersonic performance, it is not at all comparable to the J-20 that can cruise at Mach 2.1!

The opponent had already pushed the fighter's push rod to the end, and the engine still erupted into a roar.

Then a sonic boom cloud was generated around the plane, and with the afterburner turned on, the opponent quickly broke through the sound barrier.

Start running faster.

Even with the afterburner turned on, the opponent barely had the same cruising speed as the J-20.

Shi Hu followed behind the other party slowly and leisurely at cruising speed.

It's like a skilled old farmer, driving his own sheep!

The other party thought that after he turned on the afterburner, he would be able to shake off the other party quickly.

But the reality was completely unexpected.

The driven sheep flew at afterburner supersonic speed for nearly ten minutes, and it still hasn't flown out of Shihu's radar lock range!

You know, this has flown out for almost four hundred kilometers!

In the other party's cognition, Shi Hu's radar lock range is definitely not so far.

The only explanation is that the other party has been following him!

Only in this way can we explain why the radar is still locked at such a distance!

In the cabin, the constant sound of sirens almost burst through his eardrums!

However, on his radar display, there was no other party at all.

It's like.

It's like a ghost fighter on your own!

In the cabin, where the alarms are constantly ringing, the pilot feels like he is about to go crazy!

He no longer cared about the engine damage of the fighter jet, and maintained his maximum speed all the time, trying to fly back to base.

The fighter jet, once regarded as a lover, is no longer cherished.

Crazy to squeeze every ounce of power from the fighter.

Want to get out of the realm of Ghost Fighter as soon as possible!

Shi Hu looked at the fighter on the monitor like a frightened rabbit, frantically fleeing.

There was also some surprise.

However, he still maintains excellent literacy.

I have been using various equipment on the plane to record the situation of the other party.

This is an old model F-16.

The performance is not advanced.

Not to mention that it is compared with the most advanced, Shi Hu's J-20.

Even the performance of the J-10S far exceeds that of the other party.

This is also an important reason why, Shi Hu even approached within 50 kilometers of the opponent's fighter at one point, and he did not find it.

Under Shi Hu's conscious blockage.

The other side soon flew out of our airspace in a southeasterly direction.

Shi Hu was sure that the other party would not suddenly turn around and fly back again.

Only then did he re-plan his route and continue his cruising mission.

It's as if the tense and exciting fighter plane just drove away a disobedient bird!

In Shi Hu's opinion, the intensity of this confrontation is indeed not very good.

It's not even as exciting as the annual confrontation with the Blues.

After all, at that time, the fighting quality and fighting will of both sides were top-notch.

And in this chase at sea, Shi Hu could hardly feel that he was fighting.

A fighter with a dark gray livery flying at an altitude of 20,000 meters.

It is difficult for anyone to find his traces.

Shi Hu felt that his mission this time was really easy and simple.

On the other side, the pilot who had just been illuminated almost all the way by Shi Hu with a fire control radar.

It was very difficult, almost staggering to land in the airbase.

The pilot climbed out of the cockpit somewhat insanely.

Even in the process of coming down, he didn't grasp the handrail steadily, fell and sprained his foot.

But he didn't care.

Instead, they rushed in the direction of moving away from the sea.

The mouth kept repeating: "Ghost! It's an invisible ghost! ”

"No one can see him, no one can hide from his eyes!"

Apparently there has been a great problem with the spirit.

Shi Hu didn't know how much psychological trauma his operation had brought to a pilot.

Even, after that, he became obsessed with theology for a while.

Shi Hu, who was flying high in the sky, was in a very good mood.

His first cruising mission was off to a good start.

For the next 3,000 kilometers, there were no special circumstances.

Shi Hu successfully completed the first combat readiness cruise mission.

The fighters were on the south-eastern edge, and after a large circle, they returned to the airfield where they were stationed.

The fighter slowly approached the runway.

Moments close to landing, several small parachutes are released behind the tail.

The J-20 is like a Transformer, and the 8 movable wings on the fuselage begin to flip at the same time.

The canard wings and flaps are erected together to increase the drag of the fighter and reduce its speed faster.

At the same time, the two vertical tails are deflected, and the ailerons are deflected downward to control the attitude of the fighter.

The rotation of the wing surface of the J-20 is very complex and must be automatically controlled by the flight control system.

In order to minimize the weight, the J-20 does not use a speed brake.

However, the excellent digital fly-by-wire flight control and airfoil maneuvering still give it excellent short-distance landing capabilities.

Shi Hu carefully parked the fighter on the runway.

Although the combat performance of the J-20 is very good, the landing process is still very simple compared to many fighters that Shi Hu has flown before.

As the first time to fly a state-of-the-art fighter jet, go on a combat-ready cruise.

After a brief repair, Shi Hu was called to the conference room and held an analysis meeting.

In fact, in the past, they also carried out combat readiness cruises.

However, because of the relatively short range of fighter jets, they have never cruised such a long distance at the border of the airspace.

Therefore, everyone still attaches great importance to Shi Hu's flight process this time.

Especially after he said that in the process of carrying out a cruise mission, he once expelled an alien F-16.

The need for cruising is even more felt.

In fact, this has not been the case in the past.

However, because of the backwardness of the fighters, in many cases, it is still necessary to rely on the brave and fearless pilots to use the method of approaching and driving away to expel the foreign planes.

In this way, because in the process of expulsion, it is necessary to keep getting close to the enemy, creating pressure on the enemy and forcing him to fly away.

So for our pilots, the danger is very great!

Today, advanced fighters with ultra-long detection range radar and strong stealth performance.

Pilots no longer have to risk their lives to drive the enemy out of our airspace.

In the conference room where Shi Hu was, he was smiling.

The other side of the event.

It's a different story.

After climbing off the fighter jet, the pilot went crazy.

It was quickly controlled by the ground crew, who found out that something was wrong.

After careful diagnosis by the base doctors, it was determined that he had developed severe paranoia after being extremely frightened!

He actually imagined a ghost fighter!

The doctor's conclusion, after being reported, quickly attracted the attention of many people.

It is difficult for everyone to accept such a conclusion.

After all, the crazy pilot is not a newbie who has just been released, he already has more than 1,000 hours of flight time.

It can already be regarded as a flying elite!

After carefully reviewing the reports on him.

Everyone is aware of the crux of the matter.

What is it that can make an elite who has flown more than 1,000 hours a huge fright?

What the hell is that ghost fighter that he's been obsessed with?!
