Chapter 295 The Reappearance of 30 Years Ago

Compared with the FA18, an old aircraft 40 years ago, the J-15 actually does not have an advantage, especially in stand-alone combat.

The FA18 Super Hornet uses the AN/APG-79 active phased array antenna radar, which is a level higher than the J-15 which uses a flat-panel slit antenna, and has a considerable advantage in finding the enemy.

In terms of mobility, the Super Hornet air combat ratio is about 1.07, and the J-15 is about 1.12. The J-15 has a weak advantage.

In terms of conventional mobility, the Super Hornet has a normal overload of 7.5G and a maximum overload of 10G; J-15 has a normal overload of 8G, a maximum overload of 9G, a maximum overload of 6.5G in the transonic section, and a maximum overload of 7G in supersonic speed. The Super Hornet also has an advantage.

In terms of agility, the Super Hornet has further relaxed its static stability on the basis of the Hornet, at least on par with the J-15.

So in general, if it is on a real battlefield, even if FA18 cannot form an overwhelming advantage over J-15, at least it can get a beautiful figure in terms of exchange ratio.

Therefore, it is precisely based on this difference in performance that the Roosevelt aircraft carrier has not been fully equipped with F-35 for a long time, because for them, FA18 is actually enough.

At this time, the two FA002s passing continuously over Fleet 18 also fully demonstrated their performance advantages. When facing the tail chase of J-15, they turned on the afterburner calmly, and then a Cobra Maneuvering, he directly let the two J-15s to the front, and started chasing the J-15s in reverse.

The pilots of the J-15 had already prepared for this. They knew very well that this was just an air race with a tacit understanding between both sides, so they did not rush to get rid of each other. He swooped down, and then made several large-angle turns in a row at ultra-low altitude. He just relied on his own operation skills to make up for the lack of maneuverability, and regained his active position.

Seeing this scene, even the pilots on FA18 couldn't help but give them a thumbs up for a split second.

Then, the offensive and defensive positions were switched again. FA18 climbed vertically relying on its powerful engine. After throwing the J-15 away for a certain distance, it resolutely collected fuel, and after finishing the falling leaves, it returned to the back of the J-15 again.

In this way, the four fighters repeatedly chased and fought in the air that was not too high. The J-15 with the auxiliary fuel tanks gradually fell into a disadvantage. An order was given to them to cease the pursuit.

And the two FA18s also raised their altitude and left the field with interest.

Not because of fear, of course, but for two reasons.

First, they did not want such a flight show, which was originally a routine operation, to become unmanageable due to the crash of the J-15; second, their fuel was almost consumed to the return warning line during multiple afterburner maneuvers.

As the figures of the two planes faded away, J-15 also landed on the deck of the aircraft carrier one by one.

The pilots who got off the plane looked a little embarrassed. In their view, they had humiliated the naval aviation under the witness of the entire fleet.

The carrier-based aircraft commander on the side saw their faces, waved them over with some amusement, and asked:
"What's the matter? Who is showing this bad face? Don't accept it? If you don't accept it, practice hard! The plane is not as good as others, and the technology is not as good as others?"

"I'm comparable! The question is, wasn't your order just now not to allow you to continue the pursuit?"

One of the pilots said somewhat dissatisfied.

"I'm not allowed to pursue? Don't you know what you want to do? Doing Cobra maneuvers at ultra-low altitudes, is this something that J-15 can do? Are you not afraid of dropping the plane?"

"I'm not afraid! I'm confident in my skills!"

The commander shook his head with a smile, patted the pilot on the shoulder and said:

"I know you have confidence, but sometimes, you have to learn to judge the situation. This is just a routine denial of eviction, there is no need to risk your life, so whether it is for you, for us, or for the whole country , are of no benefit, understand?"

".I understand, but I just don't accept it. Don't they just show off their power because the plane is better? Our J-[-] below the deck hasn't taken off yet."

"...If the J-[-] takes off, this matter will not be able to end. Didn't you see that they didn't hang up their weapons? They are here to disgust you. Do you still want to give the handle to them? That's fine, Go down and rest."

Several pilots left the deck with a long sigh, and the commander who stayed in place turned around, and his face was actually not good.

The opponent's actions were too provocative. Although it is not uncommon for our own side to drive the J-[-] to the opponent's aircraft carrier at low altitude, it has never shown off their skills so blatantly.

The general process is actually shouting at each other, and then flying around a few times before leaving each other. The landing should be landed, and the return flight should be returned. Even the content of the shouting is repeated hundreds of times, and each of them can memorize it. .

But today's scene was obviously different.

He shook his head silently, turned around and walked towards the command room, intending to report his judgment to the commander-in-chief of the fleet and raise the alert level to prevent the other party's next harassment.

And on the other side, after the two Super Hornets landed, they were greeted with huge cheers.

Everyone regarded them as heroes, and they themselves showed off how they played around with the Huaxia fighter just now. The commander-in-chief of the fleet in the distance watched this scene with an unfathomable smile on his face.

This is exactly what he wanted.

He doesn't want to do any routine mutual testing actions. What he wants is to use the opponent's fleet as the background, and let the pilots he has carefully selected with the most courage and the most things to do to perform a gorgeous performance, thereby improving his team. morale.

And now, his goal has clearly been achieved.

But, for him, this is not enough.

He has always believed in a principle, that is, if you want to do something, you'd better do it to the extreme at one time, otherwise, although giving up halfway may have a beneficial impact in the short term, the backlash caused by the final decline will be even greater. serious.

Therefore, he planned to add another fire to this operation.

The commander-in-chief picked up the microphone and briefly gave a few orders. Afterwards, several big fish that had been hiding on the bottom of the sea quietly moved forward, and the passive sonar started to work, and began to search the sea ahead.

According to his understanding of Huaxia, there is definitely more than one big fish hidden under the opponent's fleet formation, and if one's own side can discover the opponent's location in advance, and then pass this location to the opponent's fleet headquarters through some means, Then, this time the confrontation at sea, our side will be considered a complete victory.

The superiority in the air and underwater is the advantage that determines the final direction of a sea battle.

It is not the first time that our own side has done such a thing as simulating hunting and sinking the opponent's submarine. The most typical case is actually the operation in 1994.

At that time, our own aircraft carrier formation surrounded the opponent's submarine for a full 72 hours after discovering the trace of the opponent's submarine. anti-submarine helicopters pose a threat.

In that operation, our own side sank the backward, noisy, and slow submarine 7 times like a cat and a mouse, forcing the opponent to dive urgently, and even asked for help through long-wave communication. Finally, after the Su-27 who came to support had no choice but to put on a desperate posture, our side retreated leisurely.

Now 30 years have passed since then, and the opponent's submarine technology has made great progress, but the same is true for our own anti-submarine technology.

In such a situation where the two armies are confronting each other, is there any chance for our own side to reproduce the hunting at that time?
He would love to try it.

Half an hour later, a reply came through the intercom.

"Our submarine has already moved forward, and the location of the opponent's submarine has not been found yet."

"Continue to search, remember, don't get too close, if you are alone, it will not be them who are sunk by the simulation, but you!"

"Understood, we are still at a safe distance."

The commander-in-chief put down the communicator and looked up at the endless sea in front of him. He knew that under this seemingly calm sea, two forces were engaged in a silent confrontation.

The outcome of this confrontation will determine the outcome of this confrontation at sea.

Time was passing by, and when he was about to lose his patience, several bright spots suddenly appeared on the big screen of the data link system.

That was the detection result of the sonar system.

"Found them!"

This was the commander-in-chief's first thought.

However, in the next second, his expression suddenly changed.

Not right.

The locations of those bright spots are not around the opponent's aircraft carrier battle group, but around their own fleet!
His hairs stood up suddenly, and he rushed to the screen to see what happened, but those bright spots suddenly disappeared.

This is not right.

This is not the result of passive sonar detection by our own side, but the active sonar activated by the other side under our noses!

They are provocative.

From the opponent's formation to our own formation, according to the speed of the submarine, even if the carrier-based aircraft of both sides immediately dispatched the submarine to go back, up to now, it has just arrived at the position shown by the sonar just now. .

This means that while he excluded the submarine, the opponent also sent a submarine.

And the two submarine formations, at a certain moment, almost passed by!

But our side did not detect any sonar signal.

A chill welled up in his heart, and the commander-in-chief immediately ordered all the anti-submarine helicopters to be lifted into the air, and all the sonars were dropped into the water. He no longer cared about concealment—since his position has been exposed, what else is there to conceal?
This process only took him more than ten minutes, but in these ten minutes, when the active sonar began to scan, he was surprised to find that the submarines that were originally surrounding the fleet had all started to return. And has sailed nearly 15 nautical miles!

This means that the speed of the opponent's submarine has reached nearly 60 knots.

This is an extremely terrifying fact.

The noise is so small that they pass by without being detected, and the speed reaches 60 knots, if the underwater is a nuclear submarine.
He suddenly thought of the sulfur-lithium battery that had caused huge waves before.

Everything is connected, and in the original strategic analysis, they did consider this possible direction.

That is, the opponent's submarine force is likely to carry out the transformation of the comprehensive electric system of the entire ship after the application of the battery, especially the transformation of the all-electric drive.

But he never expected that such a transformation would actually improve the performance of the submarine to such an extent.

But at this moment, the other party is brazenly showing off their achievements in front of him, just like he was showing off FA18 in front of the other party just now.

This can only illustrate one point:
These underwater submarines are probably about to enter a replacement period.

He stared blankly at the bright spots on the screen, and subconsciously wanted to order the carrier-based aircraft to perform tracking, but in the next second, his thoughts were completely dismissed.

According to the radar, there are two aircrafts swimming in the sky above our own formation.

Obviously, it was the J-[-] that had already entered the air defense area of ​​its own side, but only deployed the Longbo lens at this moment.

The commander-in-chief's hands trembled slightly. After a long silence, he issued an order to withdraw all combat units.

And just as in response to his order, the two J-[-]s disappeared from the radar screen again.

Then the sonar signal disappeared.

Under the protection of their exclusive falcons, those fish hidden deep in the water sailed back to the sea area they controlled.

At this moment, the commander-in-chief suddenly felt that everything he had done before had become a joke.

He thought he was the protagonist of this offensive and defensive confrontation, but the facts told him that he was just an unknowing supporting role.

He thought that the opponent's defense line could be easily breached, but that was just a trap deliberately cooperated by the opponent.

He thought that his formation was invulnerable. However, in the scene just now, even his flagship aircraft carrier had probably been sunk countless times by simulation.

The hunt 30 years ago has indeed reappeared.

Only, this time, they became hunters!
