Chapter 340 Lost

Over Belgrade, at an altitude of 8000 meters.

An EA-18G electronic warfare aircraft was flying forward alone, and they could neither know their position nor judge their own direction.

Just half an hour ago, the plane broke into the airspace of Srbija together with two F-35 escorts. They disabled the air defense radar system on the border, passed through the open gate of Srbija, and headed towards the capital Belgrade. fly away.

Everything went smoothly, they didn't even hear any signal from Srbija on the radio, and they didn't encounter any fighters trying to intercept them. They didn't seem to see them at all.

Relying on their superior stealth performance, the two F-35s carried out a forward reconnaissance cruise. This was originally a very routine tactical action, but it was this action that put them into a huge crisis.

The reason for the crisis is very simple and can be summed up in one sentence, that is:
They lost contact.

Yes, this electronic warfare aircraft equipped with the most advanced electronic information system in the world has lost contact with its own escort aircraft, command headquarters, and aircraft carrier formation.

However, their difficulties are not as simple as losing contact, communication interruption, data link interruption, radar blindness, loss of control of weapon systems, loss of control of photoelectric detection systems, and failure of navigation systems.
All of this, it was as if their electronic interference operations were all fed back to themselves.

This should never have happened, but the fact is that even though the electronic countermeasures personnel on the plane have cursed "Damn" countless times, the situation still hasn't improved at all.

They have become de facto blind, and can only wander aimlessly in this vast expanse of airspace, hoping to meet the two F-35s that lost contact, and then they will lead them back home.

"Robert, I really don't know what's going on, our electronic systems have all failed and the only explanation is that we have encountered electronic interference, which doesn't make sense at all"

"It was too sudden, and Srbija didn't have such technology at all. I even wondered, did we fly into a space that doesn't belong to our world?"

After the last attempt to restore communication, the electronic warfare operator in the back seat leaned forward helplessly and yelled at the driver in the front seat.

"You don't have to ask me, this is your specialty, if you think we have encountered electronic interference, then we have encountered electronic interference, what should we do now?"

The pilot in the front seat also roared back to him, but his voice was drowned in the huge roar of the cabin, and it sounded a bit indistinct.

"I don't know! But we have no other choice now! We must lower our altitude!"

"Lower the altitude?! No way! Our mission is not completed yet!"

"Never mind any shit missions! If this goes on, we'll crash because we ran out of fuel!"

"David, we don't even know where we are now. If we lower our altitude, we will be completely exposed to the opponent's anti-aircraft fire!"

"You have to figure it out, this is their airspace, they can shoot us down anytime!"

Robert checked the fuel gauge anxiously. Fortunately, the fuel gauge on this plane is mechanical, otherwise they might not even know how long they can fly.

Hearing his answer, David frowned and pondered for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said:
"I can't control that much now! We are definitely being targeted, but now we don't even know where they are! We must lower the altitude and return to the direction of sight!"

"This is the final decision! I am the air commander, and my orders shall prevail!"

"...Okay, now lower the altitude."

Robert reluctantly accepted David's order. As a driver, he certainly knew the danger of blindly lowering the altitude in this situation, but he also knew that David's reason was completely correct.

They have now lost all their electronic equipment. If they do not try to return, the longer the time passes, the greater the danger. The time spent cruising in the air is just the time they wait for death to come.

However, what he couldn't figure out was why all this?

Who is interfering with their electronic systems, and by what means?

Srbija?This is impossible, not to mention electronic countermeasures, they can't even play with the most basic data link system.

I actually saw the news that the army sent equipment to Srbija from the combat briefing, but all of those equipment were air defense missile systems, and it was impossible to achieve such an effect.

Taking a step back, even if those air defense systems are mixed with electronic countermeasure systems, it is absolutely impossible to initiate such intensity of electronic interference from land, which completely violates the laws of physics.

Unless it's an electronic countermeasure fighter?
He searched the model of the electronic warfare aircraft in his memory in his mind, trying to find a fighter that could cause this effect, but ended in failure.

Those planes are either impossible to appear here, or they don't have the ability to stealthily approach their own side.

So did it really fly into a different dimension?
He was starting to get a little suspicious.

However, the second this idea appeared in his mind, the moment his eyes swept across the radar screen that had been out of service for a long time, he was suddenly pleasantly surprised to find that the airborne radar actually started working again.

And in his ears, David's chattering complaints from the backseat on the radio came again.

"David! Communications restored!"

He subconsciously turned his head to look at David, but at this moment of surprise, he suddenly discovered that an extremely strange plane appeared behind him.

Earthy-yellow paint, canard shape, and irregular-shaped pods hanging under the belly of the aircraft
"Shit! What kind of plane is this? J-[-]??"

David behind him also noticed the fighter plane following him, and after being stunned for a second, he immediately shouted:

"Speed ​​up, speed up! Release the jammer and get rid of him!"

As soon as his words fell, Robert had already activated the afterburner suddenly, and then, the EA-18 began to roll at a very high speed, and the magnesium heat bombs that interfered with the heat-seeking missiles were continuously ejected from the tail of the aircraft, like an ocean. The frightened squid in the middle spews ink backwards.

However, the plane behind them didn't seem to intend to attack them directly. It just followed closely behind, shaking its wings from time to time, as if trying to communicate with them.

Seeing this scene, David hesitated for a moment, and said to Robert:
"Robert, I want to turn off the electronic jamming system, we need to get in touch with each other!"

After speaking, he immediately cut off the jamming system without waiting for Robert's response, and the sound of a radio call came from their ears immediately.

"...Please land immediately according to the guidance, otherwise, I will shoot you down."

"Repeat, this is the airspace of Srbija, you have entered the air defense identification range, please land immediately according to the guidance, otherwise, I will shoot you down."

"What shot down? Who are you? Where is this?"

David hesitated for a moment, turned on the radio communication, and responded in his most innocent tone.

"I am the Srbija Air Force, this is the Srbija airspace, please follow the guidance to land immediately!"

The other party's reply was simple and firm. The two people on EA-18 were silent for a moment. After Robert made a gesture, they made a decision tacitly.

The reason for the failure of the electronic equipment before was found, and the source was this strange aircraft with a jamming pod.

What they are most afraid of is not being able to find the enemy, and now that the enemy has appeared, they have no reason to let others slaughter them.

The EA-18 accelerated suddenly, and the safety of the weapon system was fully activated. Then, after flying for a certain distance, Robert suddenly pulled up the joystick. After a beautiful pull, he successfully gave way to the unknown weird plane behind him. ahead.

The airborne fire control radar was activated, and a large number of thermal flares were also sprayed out from the tail of the opponent's aircraft, but it seemed a bit too late.

When I was behind the EA-18 just now, this plane once had an advantage, but now
Robert's finger was already on the missile launch button, and the AIM-9L air-to-air missile was about to move. The only reason that prevented him from pressing the launch button was that he had not seen the data link information of his two F-35s on the radar.

Where have they gone?

Robert didn't have time to think about it, because the aircraft's radar monitoring system had already started frantically warning.

His fire control radar has not yet locked on the enemy plane ahead, but he has already been locked by the fire control radar in advance.

"Ruined."

He looked back in despair. Under the flying helmet, he couldn't see David's expression clearly, but he clearly saw the flames flying from an extremely long distance behind him.

It was an air-to-air missile.

Robert pushed the accelerator subconsciously, but how could the speed of the plane be compared with the missile?
In just two seconds, he felt the huge shock generated by the explosion at the tail of the plane, and then he pulled down the ejection lever without hesitation.

However, the wrong flying posture brought him huge troubles. The hatch thrown off by the explosion lay across his ejection route, and he hit David without any suspense.

The violent impact almost broke his cervical spine, and the fear of death struck. At the last second when his consciousness dissipated, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind:
Maybe I shouldn't have come on this mission.

When Robert woke up again, he found himself in a certain white room.

"Where is this?"

He tried hard to get up, but was held down by David beside him.

"...don't move, your neck is almost broken, and you need to recuperate."

Seeing David's face, Robert felt a little relieved, he twisted his neck slightly, and asked:
"Have we returned yet? Or"

David shook his head with a wry smile, and replied:

"No, we're under arrest. This is Belgrade."

September 9th is a special day.

On this day, the Ugly side sent three fighter planes including EA-18 electronic countermeasure fighter planes to invade the airspace of Srbija in an attempt to complete the simulated strike mission, but all three fighter planes lost contact after entering the airspace of Srbija.

Then, the Truman aircraft carrier formation sent two F-35s and one F-22 to search for support again, and lost contact again. Among them, only the F-22 successfully escaped with its high maneuverability and high stealth performance. After returning, it reported The news that Srbija has electronic countermeasures fighters.

After getting the news, the ugly country finally recognized their opponents. They tried to threaten the Srbija side through the B-2 bomber. However, the B-2 far away in Germany had just taken off and was photographed by the satellite. .

This photo was passed to the Truman formation 2 minutes after the B-15 took off, and the latter was still in the process of climbing and was urgently recalled.

The Belgrade airport was very lively that day, because they had just received some special guests.

A total of 4 F-35 fighters.

Their reasons for landing at the Belgrade military airport were surprisingly consistent:
"We didn't mean to break in, we just"

"be lost."
