Chapter 186: Air Combat (4)

",,!" A series of expletives spat out of Lei Dong's mouth like a cannon. While scolding, he hurriedly checked the damage to the fighter.

What made Lei Dong breathe a sigh of relief was that due to the relatively long distance of the explosion, the fragments only caused a little damage to the hull of the fighter, and the engine, fuel tank, circuit, and radar system were all intact. Moreover, due to the distance, the aircraft has escaped from the range of the Soyuz anti-aircraft missiles, and the threat of anti-aircraft fire from land has been completely removed.

But staring at the dense red dots that were rapidly approaching on the radar screen, Lei Dong's breath of relief that he had just breathed a sigh of relief suddenly rose again.

Although the F-44 "Raptor" is a generation ahead of the F-30E "Lone Eagle" and can be discovered by the enemy before the enemy and attacked beyond the visual range, however, neither the "Raptor" piloted by Lei Dong nor the two "Lone Eagles" piloted by Wuyun and Lang Tianyu are equipped with anti-aircraft missiles. On each plane, only a few hundred rounds of 22-mm shells were replenished from the storage rings, which were used as ammunition for the airborne cannons.

However, these hundreds of artillery shells with a range of only a few kilometers are powerless in the face of the opponent's anti-aircraft missiles, and before the opponent enters the firing range, he is afraid that he will be turned into a fireball!

"I'm going to die!" There was a wail from the thunder, and I knew that when I set off from the country, I would bring a few anti-aircraft missiles!

Seeing that 15 F-30E's were desperately chasing after them, with a faster speed, slowly but surely approaching little by little, the thunderous brain spun rapidly, calculating the distance between the two sides. He soon discovered that, with the current distance between the two sides and the difference in speed, it was impossible for him to escape back into the airspace of the Republic before the enemy planes came within range of the missiles.

Can't run!

The most critical thing is. In an air battle, there is basically only one end for blindly escaping - being blown up in the back by an enemy plane!

"you!" Lei Dong shouted. Since I can't run, I'll fight with you! The right-hand rudder turns sharply. The F-44's fuselage slammed to its side, its wingspan almost at a 90-degree angle to sea level, and the plane whizzed through an arc in the air, changing course abruptly, turning south to east, and flying towards the rising sun.

The rapid turning maneuver made Lei Dong bear an overload of more than 4 G, and the strong pressure made his breathing a little difficult, and the blood on his body surged towards his head. There was a slight tinnitus, and a trace of blood involuntarily appeared at the corner of the mouth.

"Damn, this damn injury, this indisputable body!" Lei Dong gritted his teeth and scolded hatefully in his heart, if he wasn't injured, this pressure would be a fart!

But now is not the time to worry about injuries, Lei Dong adjusted the course and changed the fighter to level flight. "A2, B1, climb to 12,000 kilometers and turn to 3-1-0." Let's fight the little devils! ”

"Good!" "Good!" Wuyun and Lang Tianyu did not hesitate, the nose of the plane climbed rapidly, and detoured towards the northwest according to the command of Lei Dong.

Lei Dong calculated the distance of the opponent's fighter. When your own aircraft comes into the range of enemy radars, push the control stick sharply. The nose of the aircraft sinks at an angle of 40 degrees, and the thrust of the aircraft is fully open. He made a swoop directly into the sea.

Under the full impact of the angle that had almost reached the limit of the dive action, the tail of the "Raptor" was raised high, like a fierce eagle, and it rushed straight towards the sea, rushing to 1,500 meters in a few seconds, the best altitude in the fight.

At 1500, the thunderbolt jerked the lever, leveling the plane, and at the same time reducing the engine thrust to about sixty percent, and the speed of the "Raptor" quickly decreased, facing the east, waiting for the arrival of the pursuers.

The 15 F-30Es, which were rushing after them from the northeast, had already spotted the thunderous movements.

"Yaga!" The Devil Squadron Leader sneered and scolded, "Do you still want to compete with my Imperial Ace Pilot?" ”

In the communication channel, there was a cry of ghosts and wolves, fifteen planes, and 30 devils shouted one after another, "Rush up and kill him!" ”

Despite the disdain in his heart, the leader of the devil squadron was still very careful, and commanded loudly in the command channel: "The second detachment guards the two wings, the third detachment overtakes and flies to the front to outflank, and the first detachment, swoop with me!" ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

With continuous replies, the 15 F-30E's quickly dispersed, forming three five-plane clusters, the middle one, forming an arc formation, swooping down from an altitude of 8,000 meters, and quickly outflanking the thunder.

Lei Dong let out a long breath and said silently in his heart: "Come on, come on, let Lao Tzu meet you little devils!" "Push the throttle, rush towards the long machine in the middle of the arc formation, and rush forward without fear.

In the sky, one F-44 and five F-30E, each with more than 1. Mach 5 speed, approaching at a rapid pace. The "Dididi" early warning radar roared sharply, and it was the sound of being locked by enemy missiles, and the next moment, four clusters of fire flashed violently, and four "Red Chain Snake" missiles with long tails of smoke pounced on the thunderous F-44 from four directions.

Having seized the favorable position facing the sun, the right hand pulled the joystick to make a climbing action, and the left hand pressed the cannon firing switch fiercely, and a series of tracer bullets swept in four directions one after another, and at the same time, the four canopy chaff strips were thumped into the air and fluttered. The "ecstasy array" of sunlight, tracer bullets and chaff made the infrared-guided "Red Chain Snake" lose its alignment, flew over the F-44 in a daze, and exploded in the distance.

But these four missiles, in fact, were just feints, when the lightning pulled up the nose of the plane and it was inconvenient to maneuver, and continuously released tracer bullets and chaff, the long plane piloted by the devil squadron leader had already secretly locked on the thunderous fighter, and a missile quietly drew an arc and swooped straight at the F-44, whose speed was greatly reduced.

"Grass! I knew you guys were going to do this! Lei Dong scolded, counted silently in his heart, put the power in the 0 position with the throttle, and continued to pull the control stick with his right hand, and the angle between the aircraft and the sea surface quickly reached 120 degrees and then kept the flight attitude unchanged. At this time, the kinetic energy of the F-44, which had lost all its power, had been converted into potential energy, and the aircraft was stationary in the air for 3 seconds.

“3,2,1!” When Lei Dong silently counted to "1", the "Red Chain Snake" air-to-air missile, which had firmly locked on to the enemy plane, happened to arrive at the antenna of the nose of the F-44, but at this moment, the F-44 happened to enter a state of stall, and the nose of the plane suddenly fell rapidly in free fall.

"Boom!" The missile that thought it had hit the target exploded above the F-44, and the fragments were **** in all directions, but not even the hair of the F-44 exploded!

At this time, the F-44 was only less than 800 meters high from the sea, Lei Dong quickly turned on the afterburner to restore power, and pushed the joystick with both hands, and the fighter almost climbed up at a great elevation angle, and then quickly flattened, and disappeared from under the long plane, and in the blink of an eye, it had rushed behind the long fuselage.

"Pugachev" Cobra maneuver! (To be continued.) )
