Great Power Fighting Falcon

Chapter 386 Eagle Head, you were shot down

"Using the Identification Friend or Foe system? You can't see it even if it's identified!"

Cheng Da asked this question at the review analysis meeting. He said, "We have reason to suspect that you used special means to obtain our combat plan!"

Li Zhan pointed to Niu Jun who was participating in the meeting and said, "This question will be answered by Comrade Niu Jun, the staff officer of the Beikou Tactical Intelligence Interaction Center."

Niu Jun stood up and saluted gracefully, and answered in a scripted manner: "The first phase of the Beiku Tactical Intelligence Interaction Center project was completed and put into use at the end of last year. In the past year, we have optimized the first phase system and added some functions. I will The airborne tactical intelligence system led by the center has been successfully integrated into the avionics system of the J-11B fighter. The specific technical performance is described in detail in the technical information in front of you."

"One of the functions of this system is to confirm the position of one's own fighters through the identification of friend or foe..."

"What? You determine our location by confirming the location of friendly forces!?"

Niu Jun was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, so he looked at Li Zhan helplessly.

Li Zhan smiled dryly, "Yes!"

…

Returning to the battlefield a day ago, the sun was still as bright as ever.

After Cheng Da escaped from a low altitude, he immediately climbed up and rushed towards Li Zhan. He wanted to fight for the opportunity to counterattack before the opponent's second attack. Han Hongjun dived towards Chengda. The radar had already tracked the target. Chengda could not run away, but Han Hongjun found that the opponent did not run away but rushed towards him.

"Fire one, fire one!" Han Hongjun shouted loudly when the combat distance between the two missiles sharply shortened.

Li Zhan in the rear cabin was the combat commander and the weapons operator of the aircraft. He unconditionally followed the instructions of the pilot in the front cabin and decisively fired a PL-12 medium-range air-to-air missile. At this time, it is almost entering a close combat state, and the dog fight is about to begin.

There was little chance of success in a head-on attack, so Li Zhan was already ready to launch the second missile. The J-16 No. 1616 also has two PL-9C combat missiles, and the ammunition is sufficient.

Sure enough, the target made three consecutive large overload maneuvers and flew to Li Zhan's left wing escape zone before the missile could react. The missile is in the acceleration phase. To successfully catch up with the target, it needs to perform a "U" maneuver at a speed of Mach 2. It is difficult for the PL-12 to survive such an overload, and 80% of the time it will disintegrate and explode in the air.

The other party is very familiar with the performance of various types of missiles and is very confident in handling them.

The technology is too sophisticated.

Li Zhan decisively activated the rear cabin control system, "I take over the fighter plane! Repeat, I take over the fighter plane!"

"Understood! You take over!" Han Hongjun cooperated quickly. He also saw that the J-10B pilot was not something he could deal with. His level demonstrated by just two consecutive evasive actions was already far above him. .

Li Zhan's first action after taking over was to turn on the afterburner.

No. 1616 J-16 turned over like a pigeon and pointed its nose quickly towards Chengda on the left wing. The heavy fighter-bomber weighing more than 20 tons pressed towards Chengda like a mountain. The fire control radar quickly locked on the target. Li Zhan prepared to launch. Randomly he was surprised to find that the target was out of lock!

"I'll give you a damn! Is the mobility of the J-10B so good?"

Li Zhan saw clearly that the J-10B actually decelerated in a very short period of time with an almost incredible falling leaf, and then got under it at an acceleration speed that Li Zhan had never seen before!

The J-11 series absolutely cannot do this. Only the Su-35 in the Su-27 series has this capability!

The fallen leaves are falling!

Isn't it just asking for death to do "falling leaves" in the enemy's front hemisphere? It's a living target!

However, the actual situation is that Chengda used this maneuver to slow down in a very short period of time, and the calculations of the fire control radar suddenly became chaotic. The radar would say "Hey, wasn't the target supposed to run to a certain position in front? Why did it stop all of a sudden?" Doubtful, when the radar's automatic calculation recovered, the target had accelerated and passed under our own side!

Chengda came out with a beautiful tailhook and successfully turned the situation around. At this time, he was in the rear hemisphere of Li Zhan, and the nose of the plane was pointed at Li Zhan's butt.

But it is obvious that Li Zhan did not live up to his reputation.

What did he do for the seven hundred or eight hundred hours a year? They are all used to study hard on technical training tactics.

Pulling the lever, pulling the lever, and pulling the lever again, Li Zhan tried his best.

"Blue Army Eagle Head, you have been shot down, repeat, you have been shot down." Just after Li Zhan saw the aircraft number of the J-10B clearly, the instructions from the Beikang Guidance Department poured cold water on him. .

It's Chengda's landline.

Li Zhan slowed down and waited for the J-10B to come up and fly together. He looked sideways and found that the color of the engine nozzle of this J-10B was different from the others.

He raised his right hand, which was wearing a white labor protection glove, to salute the J-10Bs flying together on the left wing. He directly cut into the communication channel of the Big Red Eagle and said, "Hello, Chief of Staff Cheng, we meet again."

"Huh? Are you Li Zhan?" Cheng Da was shocked, "How can you enter our channel?"

Li Zhan chuckled and said, "Just come in like this. Your situation is under our control and we can cut off your communications at any time."

"Captain Li, isn't it against the rules for you to do this? Isn't it too shameless?"

"Let's review this later and discuss it later. Yes, you shot me down."

"We were lucky enough to win a round, but we lost in the end. Most of my enemies were shot down by you all." Cheng Da was very unconvinced but had to work hard to convince himself to accept this result.

Of the twelve Big Red Eagle fighters, only Cheng Da survived, and only three fighters from the Falcon Brigade, including Li Zhan, were judged to have been shot down.

The Big Red Eagle lost by a huge margin.

The whole process from refuting the fire to the end took only three or four minutes, and the same was true for the battle on the Beiku Mountains. Just like the slogan shouted by the Falcon Brigade: We must use strong medicine and heavy punches to deal with the flashy fake tricks on the training ground. The flying maneuvers that are good-looking but not practical are those of the Bayi Aerobatic Team. For combat troops, they can use whatever maneuver can achieve results. The simpler and more direct the better!

Li Zhan shot down two J-10Bs outside visual range, but lost to Cheng Da in a dogfight. In this battle, Li Zhan deeply experienced the powerful maneuverability of the J-10B. He even realized that although the J-10A and other J-10Bs were different from Chengda, they were definitely not much different.

Perhaps in the dogfighting segment, the J-11 series is really not as good as the J-10. His J-16 still uses an improved Taihang engine with increased thrust. It is still difficult to face the J-10, let alone other models.

"Chief of Staff Cheng, what engine does your plane use? Don't tell me it's the same engine as other B models." Li Zhan asked.

Chengda asked back, "I haven't asked you yet, Captain Li, your aircraft is obviously not any version of the J-11. It doesn't even have a paint job. Don't tell me it's your aircraft."

"Chief of Staff, you are really wrong about this. This aircraft is indeed ours, a mass-produced model of the J-16. It was assigned to me for actual combat test flight, which is equivalent to part of the acceptance inspection. It has not had time to be painted." Li Zhan said with a smile.

He has been able to confirm that the J-10B launched by Chengda is definitely extraordinary, and this battle was not unfairly lost. The J-16 itself is not good at air combat, so there is nothing unconvincing about losing to the J-10, let alone a J-10B with an unknown engine model.

Chengda said, “I can’t tell you the model number, but I can show it to you.”

As he spoke, he drove forward a little, then suddenly slowed down. Li Zhan was stunned. He clearly saw the nozzle rotating and tilting downward.

Vector!

"I am convinced that I lost." Li Zhan was completely convinced.

When the No. 037 J-7E broke down in the Second Division, and the engine compartment caught fire and burned the vertical tail, Yu Niandong, the engineer of Chengdu Lockheed Martin, said: It is up to us to play the J-10 of Chengdu Lockheed in the right amount.

Only in the past two years has it become a reality, with models already in service.

Chengda said proudly, "Don't worry, let's take another look."

Li Zhan was surprised to see the nozzle turning left and right at a relatively large angle. This is beyond imagination. You must know that the 117S engine mounted on the Su-35, which the Russians are almost boasting about, can only deflect up to fifteen degrees, but the J-10B driven by Chengda actually has an omnidirectional vector nozzle!

Damn, the fourth-generation machine's full-screen attack hasn't ended yet, so Loma is about to enlarge his moves again.

"This is also an actual combat experimental model. Let's give it a try." Cheng Da finally found some sense of accomplishment. After all, he at least shot down the captain of the Falcon Brigade, which the previous three troops could not do.

"Let's go, see you on the ground."

The omnidirectional vector nozzle J-10B lit up its belly, turned left and returned to altitude.

Li Zhan was still there stupidly, unable to accept the fact that our country's military aircraft were developing at supersonic speeds. Thinking about it again, yes, it is not wrong for you to use the J-16 that is not in service, and others use the J-10B issued by Singapore Airlines instead of the J-10B that is being tested in actual combat!

After three confrontation drills, everyone has learned wisely, but there is still a gap. At least it is an ironclad fact that all nine Big Red Eagle fighter planes over the Beiku Mountains were shot down. In terms of fighter performance comparison alone, the Big Red Eagles would not have lost so miserably. The problem was that they panicked during the Falcons' raid and lost half of their numbers under the first wave of over-the-horizon attacks from the four teams of the Falcons. troops.

If those nine J-10Bs could hold their ground and carry out effective counterattacks, they would never lose like this. As long as they withstand the first wave of attacks from the blue team and drag the falcons into close combat, rely on the J-10Bs to fight back. -10B's excellent mobility may even turn defeat into victory.

It can be seen that there is a saying that will never go out of style: equipment second, talent first.

Didn't you see that the little prince of the lever can still win the battle using the backward second-generation aircraft? The words Qi Hong casually said when he arrived at the Second Division on the first day that he has the ability to fly old equipment with new combat effectiveness are already in his hands. has become a reality.

"Each team reports the results and losses."

On the way back, Li Zhan asked about the battle status of each team.

"The late-night bar goddess reported that my team suffered no losses and shot down two aircraft. It's over."

"The Vulcan Invincible Team has won two battles and no damage. It's over."

"Super Breakdancer killed two enemy planes with no damage. It's over."

"Ahem, ahem, we Northeastern gentlemen are all honored, but we shot down three enemy planes, that's it..."

Li Zhan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was indeed a Northeastern gentleman. He was tough enough. You didn't need to look at the flying data or the video to guess that the Northeastern gentleman's team must have been in the front. While gaining the most results, they also attracted the most firepower. Therefore, they suffered losses in battle. It's the team with the most. The four teams include two three-machine teams and two two-machine teams. The Northeastern men's team happens to be a three-machine team, which makes Li Zhan very distressed.

"Wait a minute, I was shot down too, how could you all be damaged in the battle?" Li Zhan said fiercely.

A total of three were lost in the battle. If all the Northeastern masters were lost, the number would not be enough.

The Northeastern men's team replied: "Report, we have indeed been shot down. It's over."

"Yingtou, the air defense base requested to re-examine the battle process between you and Chengda before making a conclusion. Let's talk about it when we come back." The Beiku Guidance Department obviously heard the radio conversation and gave the latest reply.

Li Zhan couldn't help but grin, oh, there is still a chance for a reversal!
