Chapter 412: Bomber Empty?
"950 kilometers of low-altitude penetration, I hope it can be supported."
Zhou Hai held the metal control stick, looked through the cockpit glass to observe the flight situation of the first squadron, and thought silently.
400 kilometers of hilly landforms low-altitude penetration, this is just the beginning, there are 300 kilometers of low-altitude penetration of unfamiliar and complex terrain in the Dabie Mountains and 250 kilometers of low-altitude penetration in the plains.
The total range reaches 950 km!
After having dinner in the morning to replenish his energy, as long as the fuel is enough and the body does not have mechanical failure, he can continue to penetrate at low altitude for a whole day.
However, the five members of the first squadron are different, and this low-altitude penetration mission is definitely an unprecedented test for everyone, both physically and mentally.
One minute.
Five minutes.
Ten minutes.
Six heavily armed falcons, old and new, like invisible ghost killers, remain in tight formation, flying over the undulating hills, skimming over the shocking ravines and crevices, facing the scorching sun hanging in the eastern sky, and hidden in the vast electromagnetic world emanating from the city and nature.
Thirty-five minutes later, the first squadron of the detour quietly and safely crossed a distance of 400 kilometers and submerged into the unfamiliar and complex Dabie Mountains, like sharp knives, straight into the heart of the Blue Army 550 kilometers away - Quzhou Air Base.
At the same time, on the main frontal battlefield from north to south, the Blue Army took the lead in discovering the Red Army's aircraft group by relying on the ground-based large-scale air-to-air detection radar and the air-ground joint early warning system formed by the air-based early warning platform.
"The report found a group of Red Army aircraft, due north in azimuth, number 14, distance 350 km, altitude 1200 meters, speed 600, radar reflection signatures show 2 L-15, 3 L-15A, 5 Mountain Eagle B, 4 Mountain Eagle A."
The female operator of the Tianyan No. 1 combat service group, 'Red Fox', with a solemn and serious face and a straight back, immediately reported when the screen of the on-board equipment displayed the detection signal and data: "In addition, 470 kilometers away, the Red Army early warning aircraft was found, with an altitude of 8,500 meters and a speed of 550 kilometers. ”
"14? The change in the combat strength of the Red Army immediately reported the matter to the command of the Blue Army and asked for opinions. In the spacious cabin covered with all kinds of classified electronic equipment, the mission commander who carried the rank of colonel on his shoulder, heard the information reported by the red fox, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said: "It seems that the Red Army hid 3 participating planes before, or these are 3 escort fighters." ”
The sudden increase in the number of Red Army fighters by 3 was somewhat unexpected, but it was reasonable.
The Air Police-2000 has an active phased array radar with a maximum detection range of 470 kilometers, and if you want to find air targets at this distance, you need to meet two conditions: altitude and radar reflection cross-section, the former must be high enough, and the latter area must be large enough.
Otherwise, it would be a complete hooligan to disregard the objective factors of the target's radar reflection cross-sectional area and height and only seek the maximum detection range.
The Red Fox quickly gave the situation to the Blue Army Command of the Quzhou base in the rear through satellite communications and battlefield data links, and after receiving an answer, it reported:
"The command instructed to add guests temporarily, the pot is big enough, the rice is enough, and a few pairs of chopsticks are just added."
Hearing this instruction, the colonel commander nodded, his eyes fixed on the electronic combat map of his own troops, and after a little thought in his mind, he gave a new round of combat deployment:
"That's okay, order the Falcon Squadron to strengthen vigilance, the Eagle Squadron and the Golden Eagle Squadron take off immediately, the Eagle Squadron and the Golden Eagle Squadron are mounted with the air superiority standard plan, the combat mission is to annihilate the Red Army aircraft group, the Falcon Squadron is responsible for air vigilance, and it is reserved for reserve forces, and the first air defense missile battalion enters a state of first-level combat readiness, so that the air crew stove will add chicken legs at noon and finish the work."
As a serious defender, the Blue Army has a natural home advantage, and the short, medium and long-range air defense missile system composed of Hongqi-9 and Hongqi-16 is not vegetarian.
Dispatch the Eagle Squadron and the Golden Eagle Squadron, a total of 8 J-10A, equipped with standard air superiority weapon schemes, and cooperate with the 1st Air Defense Missile Battalion, there is no problem in annihilating 14 Red Army troops participating in the exercise.
For beating Xinfei, the colonel commander has a lot of experience, and he enjoys it.
As for the total annihilation of the Gyrfalcon squadron, it was an accident, a complete accident.
"Yes!"
After receiving the order from the commander, the female operator, the red fox, with a smile on her face, quickly conveyed the order.
Two J-10A of the Falcon Squadron, which was on duty in the air patrol combat readiness duty, immediately obtained the data of the Red Army aircraft group through the data link, and in the Quzhou base in the rear, the alarm sounded urgently, and the eight participating veterans belonging to the Eagle Squadron and the Golden Eagle Squadron wore anti-load suits and boarded and took off at the fastest speed.
These 8 J-10A are the only remaining air combat forces of the Blue Army in the Skyhawk military exercise, and as for the two specially equipped H-6Ks, they can barely be regarded as air combat forces and can only carry out ground bombing missions.
This kind of needlework is not done by the five big and three thick H-6K.
Bomber empty?
Well, theoretically, bombers are indeed capable of air supremacy.
As a member of the Air Force's systematic operations, the strategic bomber, which is responsible for the air-based weapon carrying platform, can mount long-range air-to-air missiles, stay in the rear and be a quiet beautiful man, and lock on to the target and launch missiles through the target data transmitted by the rear early warning aircraft.
But this is only theoretical, and there has never been a bomber in the world that has carried out a similar combat mission of air supremacy.
Because, it's not much use at all.
The poor maneuverability given by the bomber's bulky size is completely a live target in the face of the fourth-generation stealth fighter, and the error tolerance and survivability are too low, whether it is a Tu-160 'White Swan' strategic bomber with a maximum speed of Mach 2, or a B-2 'Phantom stealth strategic bomber'.
When the Blues made corresponding tactical deployments on the fly, the Red Army early warning planes, which deliberately arranged for the frontal group to slow down the flight speed, also detected the situation of the Blues.
"According to the report, 2 J-10A and Air Police-2000 early warning aircraft were found in the Blue Army, and no other J-10A was found."
The main radar operator looks at the high-tech display screen, which has an intelligent data management system, which automatically identifies civilian flights and fighters according to the radar reflection signature signal and the frequency of friend or foe identification, and marks the situation in the airspace of the blue army.
The maximum detection range of the Air Police-2000 strategic early warning aircraft is 470 kilometers, and the maximum detection range of the Air Police-500 third-generation medium early warning aircraft is 475 kilometers.
"No other J-10A found? Could it be that the Blues have discovered something? No, even if the type of feint attack force is not the right number, the Blue Army will not be able to accurately judge our intentions, but will fall into confusion, and should not find the first squadron. ”
When the lieutenant colonel commander heard this, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, he thought for a while, and gave an order: "Continue the search, wait a minute." ”
