Chapter 132 Offense and Defense
Like the usual confrontation drills, today's big move is still to explore a brand new combat concept.
Regarding the strategic situation in the Far East, the battle environment that stands out across the sea poses new challenges to VVS. The Red Air Force, which is accustomed to assisting the army to crush all powerful enemies, must be prepared to take on the great responsibilities in a war where they play the protagonist.
The training was ready, and the metal giant bird in the sky was divided into two forces. One side was prepared for the fight with the support of the ground, and the other side quickly contacted the A-50 early warning aircraft behind the "front". After establishing data link communication, it advanced to the enemy according to the deployment of the command center, and launched a rapid air attack on the defensive side played by friendly forces in a non-traditional active offensive manner.
A "battle" that broke out in the sky was quite similar to the previous battle situation of the Red Air Force.
However, this time, the focus of the pilots participating in the confrontation exercise and the person in charge of the ground command center has changed. Everyone is more concerned about the confrontation side, and has changed from a GCI guide fleet responsible for defense to another fighter force commanded by the early warning aircraft.
The battles that broke out in the Far East were limited by the battlefield environment where the oceans stretched across the ocean. It is obvious that VVS could not obtain convenient ground guidance or ground air defense fire support on the vast ocean; when a conflict broke out, the Red Empire's offensive spearhead must take a different approach and adopt the most appropriate tactics to attack the enemy, or to some extent, some NATO Air Force tactics.
In the cockpit of the su-27m2 fighter, he observed the airspeed indicator in front of him through the green flat display, and the airspeed indicator was about 800 kilometers. Long Yun skillfully controlled the fighter and followed the formation while observing the air situation through the multi-function display on the dashboard.
Compared with the round instruments that are full of eyes, the cockpit of the su-27s is significantly more modern. Of course, it is still a lot away from the so-called "glass cockpit". There are two multi-function displays on the left, one on the left, one on the right, and the flight status of the plane is displayed in an overlapping manner. On the right, there are superimposed navigation and radar scanning information dynamic map displays, and the comprehensive display of high-brightness displays are indeed convenient for pilots to observe quickly, combining the air situation and the state of the plane. You can quickly make the next action decision.
Of course, the modern cockpit layout presented in front of you is just one aspect of the advanced nature of the Su-27m. The n011 radar hidden behind the dashboard and the supporting fire control system have also made considerable progress. This can be seen from the ability of the Su-27m to launch the R-77 active radar-guided missile.
"All aircraft should pay attention to the one and five turning to the left, and the other aircraft turn to the right; pay attention to the air situation and use the data link information to determine the launch timing of each batch of missiles!"
"No. 1 received it, understand!"
"Received on the fifth day. The data link is being received and confirmed, and it's over!"
Accompanied by the commander of the captain, several off-white camouflage fighters lined up in the clear sky quickly turned sideways, setting a distance between each other, and maintaining contact with the air-mounted communication system.
At the same time, the enemy from the sky has already appeared. The scanning signal of the radar antenna enters the r and quickly uploads the detected signal orientation to the A-50 early warning aircraft behind; in the blue and cloudless cold sky, the large early warning aircraft flying horizontally is cruising at an altitude of 10,000 meters. The battlefield dispatchers in front of the console quickly acted and according to the typical command method of large-scale engagement, they sent the command to the corresponding leader aircraft after intentionally delaying for a period of time.
In today's confrontation exercise, as a pilot on the attacking side, Long Yun's outstanding combat power did not immediately play a role.
Unlike the fierce battles in the sky that ordinary people imagine, the large-scale air combat in wars has long been separated from close-range desperate battles, and this is even more so in the current confrontation.
The plane patrolled the sky and accelerated the flight towards the unseen airspace in the distance. Even if there was no trace of an enemy plane in sight, the strong atmosphere of war had already spread in the cockpit. At this moment, in front of the pilot, the target position on the multi-function display screen will be refreshed every few seconds. The n011 radar working in TWS mode, the flat-slit array antenna is interrupted to point to the target of the off-chain of the early warning aircraft, and try to enter a stable tracking scan.
During the confrontation, both sides tried to occupy a position that was favorable to them. Several su-27m turned to the right and started to climb up all the way, entering the supersonic state to prepare to launch the medium-range missile.
On the other side of the front, two other gray-white camouflage fighters entered a small angle dive at low speed, and then flew rapidly at an altitude of about one thousand meters. In this way, on the one hand, they avoided possible enemy early warning aircraft, and on the other hand, they used ground objects to reduce the detection distance of enemy aircraft radar. With the premise of data link communication guarantee, they could also seize fleeting opportunities and launch a surprise attack from a low altitude without any warning.
As the fighter accelerated forward, the enemy planes on the display were getting closer and closer. With the assistance of the fire control system, the four Su-27m completed target locking according to the launch principle of two batches of missiles, and "launched" eight R-77 active radar-guided missiles in turn.
The button was pressed, but no slender javelin was seen dragging the smoke and flying. After all, this was just a virtual aerial confrontation.
In this virtual contest, the combat effectiveness of the over-visual-range missile is not achieved by actually launching one missile after another, but is automatically calculated through the processing equipment of the airborne fire control system and the ground command center to determine whether the missile "launched" by the carrier finally hits.
After launching two batches of R-77s in five seconds, the two fighters on the left side of the formation began to leave the existing routes, and two arc tracks with an extremely large radius were drawn in the sky, maintaining supersonic state and making a moderate overload climbing and hovering, preparing to enter the next round of over-visual range attack; unlike fighters that turn and detached, they continued to provide mid-section guidance after launching missiles. The other two Su-27m immediately closed the small throttle, used the vertical tail rudder to slow down, and then entered continuous snake-shaped maneuvering according to the RWR alarm prompt, while turning on electronic interference to fight the radar lock of the enemy aircraft.
The out-of-visual range battle that actively participates in, the initial confrontation is between the airborne radar and the enemy aircraft.
In real air combat, the bright tail flames are dragging through the sky, and the fierce Arhm casting seems murderous, but in fact they often rely on the mid-stage guidance of the carrier aircraft. Once the carrier aircraft radar is unlocked, the fire control system cannot correct the parameters, and the air-to-air missiles in the inertial guidance mode will degenerate into uncontrolled rockets, and the threat level will be greatly reduced. Although modern over-visual range missiles will have several preset trajectories, and even if the carrier aircraft command is lost, they will not run straight in the air. However, the unchanging design naturally cannot cope with the ever-changing air combat situation. The battle between fighters and missiles has begun the moment before launch.
Continuous and irregular maneuvering, large radius turns radially, radar interference foil is thrown in time, and some electronic interference measures are even used. All of this is to confuse the incoming missiles, or to be safer, and strive to confuse the enemy's fire before and after the enemy planes fire, so that the missiles cannot be chased!
In the chaotic sky of fighting beyond the visual range, under the vast blue background, there were only about ten heavy fighter jets moving around, and the situation between the enemy and us seemed to be clear.
However, in the view of the ground command center, this virtual tactical exercise of both offense and defense is much more complicated than the real cross-27m. According to the confrontation setting, the mission target of the defense side is to form a sparse fighter interception line, and at the same time, a certain number of mobile troops are left to try to block the attacking side outside the target area; the mission target of the attacking side is to cover the attacking plane to reach the predetermined position and carry out air strikes on the defending ground targets. In addition, if you have spare energy, you can also try to annihilate the opponent's interceptor fleet.
Such an exercise script is actually very common in the training system of the Red Air Force, but unlike the usual confrontation drills, the party who plays the VVS today has changed from a defender to an attacker.
Regarding the rules of confrontation, Long Yun, who was driving the plane into the large radius, was clear. His control was very simple and clear at the moment. He was to take the enemy in a roundabout way under the dispatch of the command center; turn with the temporary wingman, accelerate, and stay away from the other two Sukhoi fighters that continued to rush forward. According to the silent "prompt" of the radar warning instrument, they had flew far away from the enemy's missile attack line. However, the comrades who came out from the front took the lead, and the close-range battle in the clear sky suddenly broke out the next moment.
Take the initiative to rush against rush. Just look at this confrontation setting, and is leading the wingman to continue to climb and accelerate. Long Yun, who is preparing for the second batch of over-visual range attacks, can think of the group of comrades in the opposite sky, who are not playing the role of the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force, but also equipped with arhm fighter unit in Japan.
As for, when war is imminent, perhaps the Americans will arm their former defeated generals and upgrade all the F-15js of the Aviation Self-Defense Forces to the level of being able to launch the Aim-120b?
Thinking of this, Long Yun shook his head in the cockpit. This was of course just a fantasy like a mirror and water.
