In the unfavorable battle situation, a pocket array was still prepared to deal with the "sickles". The commander ordered the morale of the pilots of the United States improved. After all, no one likes to be beaten with his butt. Even if he only has a glimmer of hope, it is better to face the enemy and do nothing.

Setting up ambush on the unobstructed sky battlefield sounds like a bit fantasy, but in fact it is an ordinary tactic that often appears.

Take a look at the current situation. Fighters on the sea surface have nowhere to hide. F/a-18e/f itself is not a radar stealth fighter. In the head-on situation, it will be discovered by "flankers" a hundred kilometers away. The "ambush" seems nonsense. However, considering the working mode of fighter radar, unless the opponent does not want to fight at all, and just drives in VS mode to sightsee, as long as you enter the missile-guided working mode, the aircraft radar sweeper will not be able to take into account the scanning and refresh of the entire field of view while illuminating the target.

The working principle of the radar on the fighter is completely different from that of the human eye. The former can only see a cone with a very small angle at any moment, while the latter can see the entire field of vision at the same time (it is not exactly the case. The human eye can only see the projected image on the macula, so when reading a book, the eyes still have to move one by one). If the entire field of view is not continuously scanned repeatedly, there will be no comprehensive information about air.

Once this is clarified, it is not difficult to understand the so-called "ambush" in air combat.

The White Twenty, which was launched by a single aircraft, can also use radar scanning to discover every cluster of enemy aircraft in the front half of the world before the fight. However, since it is a war, it must launch missiles and enter the guidance process. At this time, the airborne radar will become like a "piercing the leopard in the tube". Keep a close eye on a small piece of sky near the target. The situation in other airspace is completely dark.

At this time, if other detection methods cannot keep up and visual observation is not feasible, the fighter jets that focus on guiding do not know the movements of the other enemy aircraft, nor will they know whether there are other enemy aircraft around them approaching.

This feature of mechanical scanning radar, or a major defect, is basically tolerated by fighter jets in parallel worlds, even advanced radars such as an/apg-71 and n011 are no exception. The only difference is whether they can "scan the nearby airspace" when illuminating the target.

However, the nature of mechanical scanning determines that this kind of "one-hearted and two-use" cannot be achieved. Generally speaking, as long as the aircraft is equipped with radar sweepers, the combat status of the fighter can only be chosen between search and attack. Therefore, the participation scale of modern air combat requires at least two aircraft. In this way, when launching an attack, at least one fighter can be arranged to be in search mode, so that everyone will not become blinded by keeping a close eye on the target.

Based on this characteristic, it is determined that the Russians' airborne radar is not that advanced, and the "sickle" is always alone. Americans will naturally find ways to do this.

If necessary, u.s.navy even arranged bait to attract the attention of "Death". Fighters from other directions approached at high speed, which may create some opportunities, and even made the guy fuck and then left the contact in a mess - yes, the Americans' luxury is limited to this, and the commanders did not consider "falling the 'sick'" at all. The goal with a zero probability cannot be used to guide the operation!

Of course, such a consideration can only be a secret within the command organization. If it is spread, it will damage the morale of front-line personnel.

At a critical moment when the morale of the army is depressed, it is absolutely absolutely necessary to leak negative news.

Faced with the lonely "sickle", a group of "bumblebee" mounted on the AGM-84 hurriedly avoided. The F-14d, which was escorted at high altitude, was already opening the way with the Aim-54c missile head. The Red Navy Su-27k in the distant sky also climbed to the advantageous height and used the R-27 series missiles to intercept enemy aircraft in low altitudes. The sea-air competition between the two sides has begun, and the battle surrounding the "sickle" has also reached a critical moment.

Two f/a-18e/fs were used to lure the enemy, and when the onboard RWR intercepted the continuous irradiation signal of the N011 series radar, the American pilot who was driving the bait immediately issued a code. At the same time, the two aircraft turned and accelerated to escape, using a very standard trick to lure the enemy to try to confuse the "sickle" and give friendly fighter jets that followed in other directions the opportunity to create.

Facing the two enemy planes attacking directly in front of them, White No. 20 indeed chose to follow the attack and fired two r-77s one after another.

The plane was alone to face the enemy and treated any challenger equally. The gray-white giant bird in the sky moved very quickly. After firing out two missiles, it did not slow down. Instead, it continued to turn on the afterburner to maintain supersonic state. The fire control system commanded the radar to keep a close eye on the two targets, while providing correction commands for the missiles that were stuck in the air. The young man in the cockpit glanced at the sky around him, and a intuition was telling him that the cunning Americans must be playing some tricks now.

These US Navy fighters had just experienced the power of "Death" once before. They must be impossible to fight head-on, but they didn't know what tricks they had?

The enemy is getting closer and Long Yun is also flying a plane to raid. The Americans plan to surround multiple aircraft to fight an ambush, but VVS ace has no intention of competing with these miscellaneous fishes in air combat skills - the command center's order is to "intercept US attack aircraft". Now there is a group in front of you. It is even more pleasant to fight a slow circling air battle with the US escort aircraft.

With this idea, the White No. 20, which has a high advantage, actively accelerated, and seemed to be determined to chase and kill the two f/a-18e/f that fled. The irradiation signal of the n011 radar has been locked on the target. The distance between the two sides has been getting closer, and the u.s.navy fighter jets in the direction of the 39th line are also quickly following up.

However, after a short while, Americans realized something was wrong.

On the flat display, the height number next to the target is changing, and the "sickle" is accelerating and climbing, which is not like a hook!

In order to protect the attack aircraft fleet, the "bumblebee" of the vfa-154 are all arranged in airspace below 20,000 feet, and the ambush arrangement is the same. As a result, these aircraft are now more than 15,000 feet away from the "Scythe". Even if you want to ambush, you can't do it at all. The range of the aim-120b is enough, but it jumps against the trend to attack the target for thousands of meters. If you face the "God of Death", you will basically tickle it.

A pocket array was prepared to intercept the Russian ace. The actions of the clinker target were not consistent with expectations. Several pilots in f/a-18e/f were busy calling the squadron leader to see what countermeasures should be taken.

Seeing the Russians act like this, after a brief thought, the leader quickly ordered two "bumblebee" who acted as bait to enter the climb. On the one hand, they continued to try to deceive, and on the other hand, they also tried to shorten the height difference between the two sides to avoid being attacked by the "flanker" missiles.

As for the other "Super Hornet" fighter jets in the squadron, since the "Scythe" has been operating at high altitude, the Black Knight squadron leader called out a few times. Except for leaving a group of two aircraft to continue to escort the vfa-27 and vfa-102 attack fleets, everyone climbed together, preparing to approach a certain distance and then launch the aspir-120b tail chase attack, and use dense missiles to shoot away the abominable Russian madman.

At a high altitude with thin atmosphere, the speed of the fighter plane maintaining a level flight must also be improved. Under the same speed indicator, the ability to stabilize the disk will decrease instantaneously, and the difficulty of air-to-air missiles will also be lower. This is also one of the considerations of the US military commanders.

The abacus was pretty good. Several f/a-18e/fs running at full speed pulled up and entered a maximum climb rate track to chase the "flankers" in the sky. The horizontal distance between the two sides was still slightly widening, and the vertical distance was shortening. The "Hornet"'s airborne fire control system has been trying to solve it. The radar signal was projected to the direction of White No. 20 together. The sharp sound of RWR in the cockpit was particularly harsh. Long Yun, who was raiding at the plane, immediately raised his alertness.

I looked down at the alarm lamp on the dashboard. The direction indication was a bit confusing. How many radiation sources are there?

Su-27m2k, Longyun's limited edition car was changed from S-type. A large number of instruments in the Su-27s cockpit were replaced by multi-function displays. Since it is a test model, the cockpit level of the M2 model is similar to that of the M-type. As for the radar alarm system standard for the Red Air Force fighter jets, there is no change in both the receiver and the display device. The RWR lamp with dense light bulbs can indicate the "maximum" and "second largest" radiation source orientation. When there are more than two irradiation sources, they can only display the two with the largest interceptor power.

Such a system is basically enough for VVS and PV fighters. If an ordinary fighter encounters "fire-controlled radar irradiation in more than two directions" in air combat, it will basically only be hit by one way.

However, for Victor Rezenov, who is traversing the sky, all-round fire control radar care is just a common occurrence. RWR sometimes becomes a little "confused". For example, now, Long Yun stares at the lamp plate for a second or two and cannot guess which direction the American fighter jets are coming from. But there is no doubt that these "bumblebee" who are chasing themselves may have mounted a speed-120, otherwise it would be a little unnecessary to enter the continuous tracking at such a long distance.
