Volume 7 The Smoke of the Peninsula Chapter 87 Do your best

If the J14 has the same performance as the F22, then the H9 is far worse than the B2

Contrary to the understanding of the vast majority of people, it is not fighter planes that determine the strength of the air force, but "large aircraft" including bombers, early warning planes, refueling planes, electronic warfare planes, and transport planes. [Full text reading]

Take the bomber, for example. The development of bombers is far more difficult than that of fighters, because the number of equipment is much less than that of fighters, so the "unit development cost" of bombers divided by the number of equipment is dozens or even hundreds of times that of fighters. B's "unit development cost" is as high as 18 yuan, while F22 is only 14 yuan, and only 85 million US dollars, including exports and foreign production under license. Many countries have the ability to develop fighters, and there will be no more than 5 countries capable of developing bombers. In the 1st century, there were only three countries that were still developing and producing bombers.

The U.S. launched the BX development program in 2017 and is not expected to be in production until 2035.

The Republic launched the H9 development program in 20111, and it was not until 2022 that the finalized test flight was completed.

In terms of performance, the H99 is the reference to the B-1B of the US Air Force, and not to the B2A.

Although the overall design of the H99 is very different from that of the B1B, for example, in order to increase the flight speed, the variable sweep wing is not used, and a large delta wing is used, but many of the features of the H9 are very similar to the original form of the B-1B, that is, the B11A. The maximum flight speed at high altitude reaches Mach 20, the maximum ceiling is 2200 meters, the maximum bomb load is 24, the maximum combat radius without refueling is 5500 kilometers, and the internal bomb bay carries 8 ammunition, which can carry a variety of ammunition including free-fall bombs, guided bombs, air-launched cruise missiles, and anti-ship missiles to carry out medium and long-range strategic strike missions.

Compared with traditional strategic bombers, the H9 is designed with the performance of conventional tasks as the main design index.

It can also be seen from the performance of the H99 that the Republic's ability to develop "large aircraft" is still far inferior to that of the United States.

According to data published by Jane's Defence Weekly, the E111A is capable of flying H99 at an altitude of 5000 at an altitude of 650 kilometers or H99 at an altitude of 500 meters at an altitude of 30 kilometers without the use of active electromagnetic interference devices. Correspondingly, the maximum detection range of KJ for B2A will not exceed 200 km.

The airspace patrolled by the US early warning aircraft moved more than 1C0 kilometers to the north. H9 was spotted before it entered the Yellow Sea.

What 24H9 wants to do. Even an idiot can guess the ground air commander of the US military.

Southwest of Ganghwa Bay. More than 1C warships of the 1C of the Habitat Fleet are advancing in the direction of Haizhou. Prepare to pick up the trapped 1st Panzer Division.

12 F22s slaughtered the H9 fleet at Mach 16.

Although the F ground passive radar stealth capability is very powerful. But when flying at high speeds. The geothermal heat generated by the friction between the body and the air can be detected by the infrared passive detection system more than 1 km away.

Received an AWACS warning. Mei Lechi immediately led the J14 fleet to meet it.

The passive photoelectric detection system on the F22 immediately showed a high-speed approaching J14 fleet.

The choice before the US pilots was very "painful". either attack enemy fighters and ensure their own safety; Either attack enemy bombers and ensure the safety of the amphibious fleet. To make matters worse, the pilot who leads the lead plane has to make decisions in tens of seconds.

In the end, the U.S. military chose to attack the H99 group at a distance of 120 kilometers.

When the F22 launched missiles one after another, the J14 group led by Mei Lechi shortened the distance to less than 8C kilometers, and then each fired two SD166 interceptor missiles at the US fighters.

Because U.S. fighter jets did not attack the J14 group, Meloch was able to guide the missiles in the best possible way.

In order to avoid the approaching SD-16, the F22 fleet can only allow the AIM12CE to approach the H99 group with medium-range inertial guidance, and then attack the target under the guidance of the active radar guidance head.

This is the most common type of attack, and it is also the least efficient and easily distracted attack.

The 12F22A ground-firing AIM120E had not yet approached the target, and the SD-16 arrived.

Despite the best efforts of the 12 US pilots, each fighter was attacked by missiles, and even if the US pilots were very capable, it was difficult to avoid all the missiles.

The H99 group did not change course and continued to approach the US Habitat Fleet.

As the AIM12 missiles approached, the DY-99 sub-fighters accompanying the H1 group began to "work".

Prior to this, DY11 came up with the working frequency of the fire control radar of the US fighter jet, and when the missile was approaching, it first used the airborne high-power electromagnetic interference device to suppress the incoming missile. Because the U.S. fighter set the AIM1120E to inertial relay guidance, the effect of suppressive jamming was not obvious. The missile enters the autonomous attack stage

The bomb-borne fire control radar was activated. DY14 immediately intercepted the operating frequency of the airborne jamming device from the on-board radar to suppress the jamming in the form of "blocking" each missile by "irradiation".

The fire control computer on the missile is not very fast and it is difficult to quickly process the intercepted electromagnetic signal.

Faced with dozens of "targets" in front, the missile attacks the "most valuable" and "distinctive" targets according to the preset program, and it is impossible to judge the "authenticity" of the target like the pilot.

At the last moment, the 2DY14, which flew at the front, used a "trump card".

The 2DY14 is equipped with the "electromagnetic directional suppression and destruction equipment" that has just been finalized. The working principle of this kind of electronic warfare equipment, which has just come out, is very simple, that is, it concentrates on firing high-energy electromagnetic waves of a certain frequency at the target through a directional antenna, and uses the extremely high energy of the electromagnetic waves to burn the radar and other electronic equipment carried by the target.

The principle is simple, but the implementation is not easy.

First, it is difficult to break through the directional radiation technology, secondly, it is necessary to accurately measure the radiation frequency of the target radar, and finally it is necessary to release sufficiently strong electromagnetic radiation in an instant.

According to the requirements of the Air Force of the Republic, the equipment will be developed by the Air Force, and the "electromagnetic directional suppression and destruction equipment" will be used as an "electronic self-defense weapon" to equip all military aircraft, including fighters and bombers. Because it is still in the development stage, the prototype aircraft is very large in size, and can only be installed on a "large aircraft" such as DY14 with a large enough internal space, and cannot be equipped with fighters and bombers for the time being.

Several AIM120E were immediately attacked by an "electromagnetic attack" and immediately jumped in the air like headless flies.

Although the role of "electromagnetic directional suppression and destruction equipment" in this battle is not obvious, the actual combat effectiveness has been tested. If it can be equipped with fighters and bombers, it will definitely subvert air combat tactics!

Electronic warfare aircraft became the best partner for bomber groups.

The interception of the 12F22 did not yield any results.

After the H99 fleet reached the sky over Haiyang Island in the western part of the Gulf of West Korea, it lowered its altitude in order according to the formation. At this time, the H99 fleet was only 300 kilometers away from the Habitat Fleet in the southeast direction!

The H9, which flew in the front, took the lead in opening the hatches of the two bomb bays and dropped 12 heavy anti-ship missiles one after another.

Three other H9s in the same formation dropped missiles one after the other in half a minute.

Another 5 formations of 20H99 fired anti-ship missiles sequentially in 3 minutes.

The H99 fleet completed its mission and turned to return home.

Six DY14 electronic warfare aircraft did not follow the H99 group back, but slowly climbed to an altitude of 6,000 meters. The J14 group accompanying the escort quickly arrived, accompanied by electronic warfare planes flying back and forth over the southern waters of West Korea Gulf.

The last task of the electronic warfare aircraft is to provide relay guidance information for missiles.

The task of tracking and monitoring the US fleet is carried out by the KZ199 battlefield surveillance aircraft, which acts with AWACS. Through the tactical data link, the KZZ-19 sends the actions of the US Habitat Fleet to DY14 in real time, and then DY14 sends relay guidance instructions to the anti-ship missiles that are approaching the US Habitat Fleet.

The command and control system is linked one after another, forming a powerful joint strike force.

DY14 began to guide missiles when 2 large unmanned aircraft reached the skies over West Korean Bay. According to the plan, if DY14 is attacked by enemy aircraft, it will have to be withdrawn from the battlefield, and the relay guidance work will be completed by unmanned aircraft. Now it seems unlikely that 2 unmanned aircraft will have a chance to perform on stage.

In Ganghwa Bay, in the waters northwest of the Deji Islands, the Habitat Fleet sounded the air defense alarm.

The operations of the H99 fleet have been monitored by E111A. All the E111A can do is issue an air defense alert to the Habitat Fleet. Whether the Habitat Fleet will be able to withstand the "rain of bullets", the air commanders on the E111A are not in any way. The amphibious fleet is not an aircraft carrier battle group, and although it is equipped with an air defense destroyer, in the face of a "saturation attack" with a total of 288 anti-ship missiles, even eight air defense destroyers may not be able to ensure that the fleet is foolproof.

What's worse is that the anti-ship missiles are not directly aimed at the Habitat fleet.

The maximum range of the C99 anti-ship missile launched by H606 is more than 500 kilometers. Instead of pounced directly on the Habitat Fleet, the C606 flew about 200 meters to the southwest before turning to the southeast and eventually attacking the Habitat Fleet from the east. In this way, the missile group does not need to pass over the South Yellow Sea Road, and it will not be threatened by the "theater anti-missile air defense system" deployed in Haizhou by the 1st Panzer Division!

Like the 2nd Amphibious Fleet, the 1st Fleet was on the verge of annihilation.

At 211:15, the first C606 entered the interception range of the American air defense destroyer.

The tragic anti-aircraft operation began, and the trajectory of the Habitat Flotilla was coming to an end
