Chapter 77 Into Melee Combat

As the shadowless electromagnetic waves spread around the sky, a battle at the electronic warfare began.

This level of competition can be regarded as an advantageous project of "lightning".

The hundred opponents Long Yun faces today, the US side has a large amount of equipment, and the F-35 "Lightning" that has spread widely in the world. Although it is nominally a cheap three-army general model that matches the F-22 "Raptor" and the F-34 "Silent Cat", in fact, as the final work of Lockheed Martin in the fighter era, the seemingly low-end "Lightning" is actually not cheap at all, and its real combat power is not inferior to the dual-engine heavy predecessors such as "Raptor" and "Silent Cat".

Compared with the early fourth-generation fighter jets such as the F-22, which have excellent flight performance and focus on air-optimal combat capabilities, the F-35 "Lightning" itself does not have outstanding flight performance, and its maneuverability can only rank downstream among the many fourth-generation fighter jets developed by major countries. However, thanks to the United States' strong electronics, information technology capabilities and integrated combat system skills, the combat mode of the "Lightning" fighter has basically deviated from the old idea of ​​"weapons to weapons, platform to platform", and has completely turned to a system war based on a complete set of information networks.

Just like now, several "lightning bolts" that form intensive formations are operating in concert under the command of a control network connected to each other. All the electronic interference equipment of each aircraft are fully powered, and the "Black Dragon" radar scanning signals intercepted by the electronic warfare system are launched indiscriminately under the unified network dispatch.

Faced with such a distributed electronic interference, from the perspective of the opponent, it is like the position of the "lightning" fighter jet in the sky is constantly teleporting, which will naturally cause great trouble.

Due to the cluster electronic interference of the "Lightning" aircraft group, the fire control system cannot accurately identify the signal it emits from the messy target echoes. It cannot obtain stable target parameters, so it cannot complete the missile launch calculation; it was discovered that the opponent had such a trick. Although Long Yun quickly noticed the tactical changes of the F-35 aircraft group, he did not have any proper way to deal with it for a while.

Of course, even if the opponent uses electronic interference, it can disrupt the fire control system detection of the "Flame Dragon", but it has not yet reached the point where it can erase its own existence and make the enemy unaware. If you just want to shoot the missile out, Longyun can now judge whether the target is in the missile attack line based on the enemy-to-me situation, and then order the system to launch missiles to carry out attacks; but even if the missile is launched on the road, if the system cannot provide it with mid-section command correction, the missile hit probability will become quite low in the face of the "lightning" fleet with changing positions in the sky.

Faced with so many "lightning", even if it is just a group of fleets of fighters, facing the unfavorable situation of electronic interference, the next tactical choice is crucial.

Should we continue to launch an over-visual range attack, or to decisively enter the visual air battle?

Although the X-8a "Black Dragon" with superior flight performance is difficult to carry out a range of sight attack due to electronic interference from enemy aircraft, Long Yun still holds control of the battlefield rhythm in his hand. How to fight the next battle can be said to be up to him. His eyes hurriedly swept through the large sky in front of him, and the series of targets marked on the display screen have not yet appeared within the range of sight. Long Yun's fingers stayed on the missile launch button for a moment, and then made a decisive decision. He pulled the throttle valve back, pushed the rod to make the fighter bow his head, and then went directly to dive, rushing towards a small cluster of "lightning" fighter jets closest to him.

Anyway, judging from the current situation, even if the opponent does not send electronic interference, the twelve pl-15cs can only kill a few more enemy planes.

The number of enemies is unprecedentedly large, so in the end, do we have to rely on air cannons to expand the results of the battle?

With this idea, flying the fighter plane dives all the way and speeds up to catch the enemy. Long Yun is careful to control the fighter plane speed not to exceed Mach 3, which is the upper limit of the use speed of the electromagnetic cannon; holding the joystick tightly with a slightly sweaty hand, he could feel the powerful "bang" of his heart in his chest, and the uncontrollable desire to kill the enemy deep in his heart. After taking off, he has been fighting with his opponents from afar, and basically has not played the flight performance of the full-state "Fire Dragon". At this time, he suddenly had an inexplicable awareness. Since he was about to enter close combat, it depends on himself next!

Unlike the ultra-visual combat in electronic games, in the fight with blood, the airborne fire control system cannot help too many pilots. It can be said that it is a competition between combat personnel's technology and will.

In the sky battlefield with a tense atmosphere, Long Yun was just staring at the group of targets he selected, and all other enemy planes were handed over to the fire control system to monitor and pay attention. With a sudden awakening, the subconscious mind that was invisibly exerting influence, he drove the "Flame Dragon" to hit the altitude from a height of 24,000 meters; as the altitude decreased and the enemy approached, a close-range fierce battle was on the string.

The combat situation in the simulator is becoming more and more complicated, but the so-called "onlookers are clear", Lu Chunjiang, who was watching the battle in the training room, could see clearly that as the "Fire Dragon" changed its tactics and entered the enemy's formation, the "Lightning" aircraft group, which still had an absolute advantage in numbers, also took action quickly. In addition to a small team of fighters staring at by the x-8a, they were still lingering in the air, while fighters from all directions turned one after another, approaching the narrow airspace where the battle was about to break out.

Seeing that these "lightning" controlled by the simulator are still in good order, Lu Chunjiang suddenly became interested. He wanted to see how this young man would deal with it?

Although the simulation and deduction mission of 100 fighter jets for SFM7560 is really not easy, probably these F-35s are only acting according to a certain scheduled plan, and they are still incomparable to the control of real pilots. However, the colonel naturally reserved the experience of attacking aircraft and fighter jets. He was not very optimistic about Long Yun's choice: if this guy really rushes all the way and gives up the flight performance advantages of the attacker jet to compete with his opponents for air cannons, this would be a bit of anger, not a wise move.

Faced with the siege of fighter jets, even if the electromagnetic gun of the "Yanlong" is far better than that of ordinary fighter jet air cannons, it depends on what the situation is.

If you are facing a single fighter like today, if you face a few or more than a dozen fighter jets, you may be able to give it a try. But now, there are dozens of fighter jets surrounding you from all directions in the sky, and there are still some fighter jets waiting for an opportunity to move around. Seeing that the "lightning" are making full use of the advantages of system combat and can swarm in the narrow combat airspace without worrying about collisions with each other, Lu Chunjiang felt that Long Yun's move was too overwhelming - the front-line pilots in the regiment may not be able to escape freely. Does this young boy engaged in aviation competition think he can create miracles?

In the tense sky killing scene, Lu Chunjiang's doubts were of no time to spy on Long Yun and had no time to figure it out.

He was flying the fighter planes and constantly approaching several "lightning" fighter planes with dense formations in the sky. At this time, he was already quickly calculating a math problem for himself in his heart.

There are still twelve pl-15c on landlines, and even if one shot is one, it can only knock down twelve aircraft; and the electromagnetic cannons have a lot of ammunition capacity of 1,200 rounds, but if you want to say that more than a dozen shells are swept out, you will be sure to kill an enemy aircraft. Obviously, this is also a skill that only the Zenith Stars have.

In other words, he could not destroy all his opponents in this battle, but could only do his best to fight?

Just a simple calculation shows that the situation is not good, but the burning fighting spirit in his heart drives him to move forward bravely. What is the maneuverability of the "Fire Dragon" in the entire state? Now is the time to get started to test it!

When he thought of the fierce battle that followed, Long Yun felt extremely expectant; although he had never been exposed to a real attack aircraft before, just like the thoughts he felt after two defeats, a sudden and strange sense of familiarity made him a little confused. Is this familiarity an illusion of his own or something other bizarre and weird reason?

In the fierce battle, there is no time to think more. After a short period of dozens of seconds of dive acceleration, Long Yun saw a few blurred and recognizable black spots appearing in the vast sky with thin white clouds in front of him. However, before he could clearly identify whether it was an enemy plane, a bird or something else, the several black spots in the projection display had been framed with a striking red triangle, and the fire control system has automatically identified it as an enemy plane and highlighted it.

The alternative projection display in the cockpit of the attack aircraft. Previously, Long Yun only knew that it had a broad perspective that was incomparable to the cockpit of the fighter aircraft. Now he saw that the sky display was also superimposed on the target prompt, and it was like cheating in visual air combat!

He first sighed for a moment of novelty about the function of "Flame Dragon", and then he remembered that this function might not work at all times, but because he is now attending the meeting alone, so everything else flying in the sky must be enemy planes, so there is no need for enemy and enemy recognition.

But even so, in this one-to-one battle, the automatic target recognition function did help Long Yun a lot.

Considering that the F-35 "Lightning" fighter attacking from all directions, the Aim-120d and Aim-9x missiles are basically unable to pose a threat to the "Black Dragon", and the range of the gau-12 cannons is very close. In other words, it means that if these "Lightning" fighter jets all over the sky want to hit Long Yun's landlines in combat air battles, they must be close to the visual distance and must be very close to use the Aerial Cannon.
