Great Power Fighting Falcon

Chapter 319 The top speed soared (Silver League added update 110)

Two out-of-defense precision attack munitions flew towards the target. The Tiger Squadron quickly reported the target damage effect, and Nie Jianfeng turned to the air to stand by.

According to the combat plan, after the air strikes eliminated the targets that posed the greatest threat to the ground team, the ground team continued to perform the rescue mission. By this time they had already infiltrated the location where the pilot was being held.

Within a few minutes, information about the Tiger Squadron's request for air fire support once again reached Nie Jianfeng through the Tactical Intelligence Interaction Center. This time he decided to use a 500 kilogram guided bomb for the target he wanted to hit. The warhead charge of two bombs of this type reached one ton...

This is the largest and heaviest type of aircraft bomb in active service, and all of them are in stock. The military industry department developed a guidance suit, transforming these big unguided bombs into guided bombs with inertial guidance and a pair of small wings that can glide and fly.

"Dongguai launches, Dongguai fires twice!"

After Nie Jianfeng switched the ammunition, he pressed the launch button. The guided bomb on the left wing detached from the pylon first. The fighter plane suddenly sank to the right wing. Nie Jianfeng quickly pushed the rudder control column to maintain the fighter's attitude. The guided bomb fell dozens of meters in free fall, folding its wings and unfolding them, which immediately provided enough lift. The free fall turned into a gliding flight, and it flew towards the target under the action of the inertial guidance system.

At this time, Nie Jianfeng threw down the second one.

The two big guys flew straight towards the target. The precision requirements for striking surface targets are not high, such as attacking enemy barracks, fixed radar stations, permanent air defense positions, power stations, reservoirs, oil depots and other fixed surface targets. What is required is high-power bombs, and precision strike ammunition is not required. Cost-effective and not necessarily better.

Nie Jianfeng flew west for a while and could see thick smoke rising from the ground in the distance. There was no doubt that it was the target, and two heavy bombs hit.

The damage effects reported back by the tiger team were very good, which made Nie Jianfeng heave a sigh of relief. The most important mission for him was completed, and the remaining aircraft fire was used for close battlefield support if the Tiger detachment needed it. So he still had to stay in the air and be on standby.

Nie Jianfeng judged that the Tiger detachment still needed fire support. With air support, the commander of any ground force will definitely give priority to calling in air fire to destroy the target. Their mission is to rescue the hostages without being exposed during the infiltration process. Fighting the enemy is not the purpose, rescuing people is the fundamental. Rescue missions are much more difficult than strike missions.

At high altitude, Li Zhan turned on the airborne radar at regular intervals to scan the due west direction to provide cover for Nie Jianfeng. Whoever turns on the radar is a target, but to carry out warning, the radar must be turned on. Turning on the airborne radar of a fighter jet is like turning on a flashlight in the dark, completely exposing its position to the enemy. This is exactly the purpose. When the Blue Army takes off fighter planes for air defense, the first thing they see is Li Zhan, who is the biggest source of radiation. Nie Jianfeng, whose radar is silent, can calmly leave the battlefield or continue to attack the ground.

This was his first cover mission, and Li Zhan did not dare to take it lightly.

It was clearly stated in the live-fire confrontation exercise mission that the Blue Army would take off high-performance target drones. Military writing is usually direct and concise, and generally no modifiers are added in front of nouns. If a modifier appears, it means that this is a key point that needs to be emphasized.

How should high performance be understood? It is clearly stated - high performance means that it is more advanced than most of the fighters currently in service in our army.

It would be embarrassing for Nie Jianfeng if he was shot down by the Blue Army's high-performance target drone.

Time passed by, and the Tiger detachment was obviously progressing smoothly. Nie Jianfeng still had aircraft fire and machine guns, but twenty minutes passed and the Tiger detachment did not request fire support. Before the fuel dropped to the specified return value, Nie Jianfeng was still in the air and on standby.

"Dongliang! The target is launched! Prepare to launch!" The tower suddenly called Li Zhan.

Li Zhan was shocked and immediately replied: "Dong Liang received it!"

"Two high-performance target drones in a batch! Target parameters are being transmitted! Loading immediately!" Xue Xiangdong's voice was very urgent.

Li Zhan's radar couldn't see anything.

There was no doubt that the target was three hundred kilometers away and beyond the reach of his airborne radar. The target parameters were apparently captured and transmitted by ground radar stations. Without a tactical intelligence interaction system, the target information captured by ground radar can only rely on verbal notification and guidance by the tower commander. Now Li Zhan can see the target information from the tactical intelligence interactive terminal, two in a batch.

"Dong Liang understands! Load the target data!" Li Zhan quickly powered on the missile and loaded the position data of the second target into the seeker of the monster empty bomb.

The active and passive combined guidance seeker also has multiple guidance methods such as infrared braking, TV guidance, and command guidance. In other words, there is no aircraft in the world that monster missiles cannot recognize and hit.

"Standard long-range launch procedure! Standard long-range launch level!" Xue Xiangdong issued the launch order.

Li Zhan turned the throttle lever to the end and turned on the afterburner. Maintaining an airspeed of more than 600 kilometers per hour, the fighter jet flying at an altitude of 12,000 meters suddenly rushed forward as if it had been kicked. When the speed was about to reach 900 kilometers per hour, , Li Zhan launched two monster missiles one after another.

"Two shots in a row! Two shots in a row!"

The fighter plane became much lighter and continued to accelerate forward, exceeding the speed of sound in less than ten seconds. If it were in the past, Li Zhan would have turned off the afterburner to maintain flight at a little more than double the speed of sound, and then turned on the afterburner when the speed became fatigued, and so on, repeatedly flying at supersonic speeds.

But this time it's different.

His whole body was pressed on the seat to withstand the overload of the fighter plane's continuous acceleration. Suddenly, the surroundings became quiet, so he knew that he was already going supersonic without looking at the airspeed indicator - all the sounds were thrown away, and there was no noise behind him. …

This is why there is a rumbling in the ears when flying at subsonic speeds, but it is much quieter when flying at supersonic speeds.

Of course, sounds transmitted through the body, such as wind noise and vibrations produced when the engine is operating at high operating conditions, can be heard. The sound the fighter jet makes to the outside world cannot be heard by the pilot in the cockpit. Li Zhan likes to race at supersonic speeds and also likes a quieter cockpit. This is a secondary factor.

The airborne radar continued to work. In the first thirty seconds, Li Zhan could still see two monster empty bombs flying at a speed of Mach 5 on the radar screen. The radar wave emission area was very small, and then he couldn't see anything. arrive. In theory, airborne radar has a maximum detection range of 150 kilometers. In actual use, the detection distance of small targets such as air-to-air missiles is only tens of kilometers.

Soon Li Zhan's attention was focused on flying.

At an altitude of 12,000 meters, the airspeed of the fighter jet, which was continuously accelerating with afterburner, quickly soared to Mach 1.8, then reached an acceleration peak, and then slowly fell back, but it continued to accelerate tenaciously. Li Zhan saw some clouds on both sides of the wings running backwards. The clouds at the same distance usually remain motionless, which shows the new visual change brought about by the extreme speed this time.

The theoretical maximum speed of the SU-27SK at high altitude reaches Mach 2.35, which is a high speed of 2,800 kilometers per hour, but that is the maximum speed that can be achieved without plug-ins. There are now four air-to-air missiles under the wings. Li Zhan doesn't know what speed the fighter will eventually reach.

An unexpected situation occurred. When the prescribed afterburner operation time was approaching, Li Zhan discovered that the airspeed had only climbed to 2,300 kilometers per hour, less than Mach 2.

In order to save engine life, do not turn on afterburner if possible. If you want to turn on afterburner, it must be done according to the specified time. Running time beyond that will accelerate the wear and tear of the engine's life.

This is also the reason why people say that Li Zhan uses up the engine to fly a plane - he always uses afterburner to reach supersonic speeds.

Li Zhan hesitated.

Should I keep the afterburner on or turn it off and on again?

After thinking for a second, he decided to do nothing and keep the engine in afterburner mode.

The frequency of the fuselage shaking is getting higher and higher, and the amplitude is getting bigger and bigger. Li Zhan wasn't nervous, this was normal. When he flew the No. 037 J-7EGG, he felt like the plane was falling apart and the joystick was shaking so hard that he couldn't hold it, but it still kept flying. He knew that the plane was not that impatient.

Lao Maozi's stuff is rough, but it's still durable. The SU-27SK is the AK-47 among fighter jets, and you can play with it for a while and never let it go.

The Blue Army's air defense position search radar discovered Li Zhan, and were shocked to find that the target was racing at a speed they had never seen before. At this time, the speed of SU-27SK No. 02 has reached 2,500 kilometers per hour!

Li Zhan turned off the afterburner because he found that the acceleration was basically gone. If he continued to hold on, he was worried about stopping the two engines and sitting in Ai Fenglinwan.

Once again, there are four air-to-air missiles hanging under the wings!

Who knows how he managed to reach Mach 2 speed with a mount!

The monster missile successfully sighted the target under satellite relay guidance and ground station auxiliary guidance. They were two high-performance target drones flown by the Army's simulated Blue Army unit that simulated F-16 Brak fighter jets. They were cruising leisurely in the airspace 300 kilometers away, and they were outside Area 4. No one would have thought that the Red Army actually had ultra-long-range air-to-air missiles with a range of up to 300 kilometers!

When the monster air bomb flew to a position of more than 30 kilometers and the active radar of the seeker was turned on to confirm that the target signal was locked, and the radar warning of the high-performance target drone simulating the F-16 Brak fighter jet buzzed, they first stopped Comprehensive, but frightened.

But it was too late.

The external engine of the monster empty bomb fell off, and the main engine ignited and started, pushing the missile to rapidly accelerate beyond Mach 5. Then the first-stage solid rocket detached, and the second-stage solid rocket ignited. At this time, the six-meter-long monster empty bomb actually turned into a fighting machine. Looks like a missile!

It can carry a forty G overload, the speed exceeds Mach 5, and the distance is shortened to twenty kilometers.

No aircraft in the world can escape the pursuit of monster missiles under such conditions.

Li Zhan hurriedly hurriedly failed to catch the target drone with the airborne radar. He could not see the battlefield more than a hundred kilometers away, so he could only slow down at the last baseline position and use the airborne radar to scan the first half. There is not a single ghost in the airspace of the ball.

It means that the target drone has been shot down.

This result shocked Li Zhan.
