The military-industrial scientific research system of the academic master.

After determining the target position, the two aircraft simultaneously performed a roll away and soon came to the vicinity of the suspicious aircraft. As usual, they sandwiched the target one to the left and one to the right for accompanying flight confirmation. .

"Eagle 01 reports that we have discovered an aircraft..." Lin Kang, the lead pilot, looked at the aircraft not far away through the cockpit glass with a narrow field of vision.

On the surface, this looks like an ordinary Boeing 707, but the stars and stripes on the vertical tail and the eye-catching letters "WR" below the flag undoubtedly indicate that it belongs to the U.S. Air Force.

Although the entire Chinese aviation force does not have a serious special aircraft at this time, Lin Kang, who has served for nearly 20 years, has never given up using various channels to collect various information about the imaginary enemy air force.

Although this is supposed to be the job of intelligence services, not fighter pilots.

This gives him some relatively obvious advantages when conducting similar accompanying flight verification tasks.

For example, at this moment, he knew that "WR" represented the 93rd Air Control Wing from Georgia.

But he couldn't find a similar model in his memory.

After slightly lowering the altitude, Lin Kang finally saw the huge long fairing under the belly of the opponent's aircraft.

"A reconnaissance aircraft on the Boeing 707 platform. It should be an electronic reconnaissance model, but it is not an RC135. This is the first time I have encountered it."

"Understood, keep flying with it, and report immediately if it makes any further movements."

A slightly nervous voice came from the radio.

In fact, if the near-face-breaking conflict at the beginning of the year hadn't woken up some people, there might not even have been an emergency takeoff in the face of aerial reconnaissance.

The Chinese military, which is relatively immature in the field of sea and air confrontation, is actually not ready to face similar incidents in terms of technology and experience.

Pilots like Rincon's generation do not lack courage.

But there is only courage.

Courage alone is not enough.

Compared with the clear territorial boundaries between Jingwei and Weiwei, the situation in the sea and air domains is much more troublesome.

The legal status of airspace over the exclusive economic zone is a rather complex issue.

There is no doubt that this is not airspace.

Relevant provisions of international law state that flying or navigation in this area must respect the sovereignty, national defense and security of the other country, etc., but these vague and metaphysical provisions are not operable.

Therefore, when countries face similar situations, the general approach they take is to use non-force means to interfere and expel.

Non-force means.

It sounds harmonious and much safer.

But just like in martial arts novels, the level required to open mountains and crack rocks is often not as good as the ability to retract and release freely. In actual operation, this is much more difficult than firing down a target.

After the plane turned 180°, it still maintained its original route.

"Requesting interference with the target's flight path!"

Rin Kang roared into the radio.

Whether from the perspective of national dignity or intelligence security, he was unwilling to allow such a reconnaissance aircraft to fly for a long time more than 100 kilometers away from the coastline.

There was a rustling sound in the headphones for a few seconds, and then a steady voice.

"Requesting approval, but the other party has not entered the airspace and cannot use weapons!"

Lin Kang naturally understood the relevant principles, but the commander of the 4th HNA Division on the other side of the radio was still worried that his best pilot would be impulsive, so he emphasized it again:

"Also, be sure to keep yourself safe!"

Many cases that he had seen in books or internal materials flashed through Lin Kang's mind like a revolving lantern.

Most of them came from the Soviet Air Force.

In addition to more extreme cases such as the scalpel in the Barents Sea, the Soviets, who were extremely experienced in confrontation, naturally had other ways to deal with provocations from the NATO air force.

For example, for heavy-duty aircraft such as the Su-27 or MiG-25, when two engines with a total thrust of more than 20 tons turn on afterburner, the airflow ejected will affect most aircraft.

Lin Kang didn't know if his little plane could do it, but he decided to give it a try.

After a brief communication with Chen Haisheng on the other side, he adjusted the position and attitude of the aircraft and pushed the throttle lever to the end with his left hand.

The turbojet 7BM is really not an engine with excellent performance. The number displayed on the tachometer increased slowly and unhurriedly, which made the J-7's action of passing by the reconnaissance aircraft almost lack any aggression.

Lin Kang again controlled the aircraft to keep flying in front of the target, but the mere 6.5 tons of afterburner thrust was really difficult to effectively interfere with a Boeing 707 platform aircraft.

Correspondingly, the atmosphere in the cockpit of the E8C was much more relaxed.

Of course, they were no strangers to Lin Kang's actions to interfere with flight. Before 1991, the two of them had faced similar scenes countless times over Eastern Europe.

But at that time, the situation was much more intense.

There was even one time when an RC135 piloted by Lieutenant Colonel Albert stopped both engines on the right side in the air due to close interference from a Su-27.

It was 1988, and the entire crew was about to die on the spot with only the last 300 meters to go.

"Look at this little plane, it seems to be saying hello to us in a friendly way."

The co-pilot looked at the fighter jet that looked very similar to the MiG-21 not far away in front of him and couldn't help but reveal a bright smile.

"Then it seems like we should return the favor as a sign of friendship?"

Albert gently turned the steering wheel in his hand left and right, making a motion of shaking the wings.

The three people in the cockpit burst into cheerful laughter.

"I think the pilot must have received our goodwill." The flight engineer behind said.

Lin Kang, who was in the J-7 cockpit, saw through the rearview mirror that the aircraft behind him shook its wings provocatively.

Naturally, this action made by a 150-ton aircraft cannot be called sensitive, but it is undoubtedly to show that his flying posture is under control and is not affected at all.

It was as if he was laughing at the little plane in front of him that was overestimating its capabilities.

"grass……"

Even though Lin Kang had been well-educated since he was a child, he couldn't help but curse in a low voice when he saw this scene.

He reached for the emergency fuel release switch in the air.

When a large amount of aviation kerosene is released in a concentrated manner, it will give the following aircraft the feeling of being peeed. In addition to the psychological impact, it will also interfere with the pilot's vision.

Before flipping the switch, Rin Kang habitually looked at the plane's fuel gauge.

At the same time, the teacher's voice came from the radio again.

"Eagle, report remaining fuel."

"call--"

Lin Kang exhaled a sigh of relief.

"The remaining 40%."

As a light fighter, the fuel capacity of the J-7HH has always been a huge problem.

The maximum takeoff weight of the J-7 is only about 8.5 tons.
