If you can't attack, you will be plotted

As soon as the battle began, the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force was in disarray and completely out of order

The loss of 2 tactical transport aircraft is nothing, the 154 commandos on the plane belong to the Ground Self-Defense Force, and they have nothing to do with the Air Self-Defense Force, and what really makes the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force "flesh pain" is the 3 AWACS aircraft, especially the E-767 AWACS aircraft!

This is the only one left in Japan's air self-defense [767].

Compared with the E-2D purchased from the United States, the E-767 has more powerful detection and early warning capabilities, and it is still a large AWACS aircraft with air command capabilities, and its performance is higher than that of the U.S. Air Force's E-3D

Japan spent $2 billion on 4E-767 to make up for:; defects

As a carrier-based early warning aircraft, the E-2 column effectively makes up for the shortcomings of the aircraft carrier battle group's lack of long-range early warning capabilities, but it is limited by a variety of insurmountable defects such as weight, space, and flight performance, and lacks air command capabilities In combat use, the E-2 series of the US Navy is only responsible for long-range early warning, and the operational command is borne by the fleet air defense center, although the E-2D is a great improvement over the previous generation E-2C, with enhanced detection capabilities, added tactical data links, etc., but has not been improved much on fundamental issues, It is not possible to command dozens of fighters to fight like a large AWACS aircraft

420, 2 E-2Ds of the Air Self-Defense Force took off urgently from Kadena Air Base

At this time, it took off, and it was too late to rush to the battlefield

430, the 2" Air Police 2000, hovering over the Nanshan Islands and the Yushan Islands, successively detected a group of Japanese planes that had just entered the sky over the East China Sea and were heading for the East China Sea Fleet, and immediately sounded the combat alarm

Six squadrons of fighters, which were patrolling over the East China Sea, responded to the call and pounced on the Japanese group from the west and south

At this time, 2E-2D was still climbing towards an altitude of 7500 at a very slow speed

The 432 rushed to the front, and the 12J-10B was the first to encounter the Japanese group

"Electronic device inspection completed"

"Start the fire control radar" Liang Guoxiang quickly pressed a few buttons under the monitor

"The target was found at a distance of 110 azimuth, 24 at an altitude of 5500 speed, and the fire control computer judged it to be F-15

"Assign attack targets" Liang Guoxiang quickly glanced at the weapons and ammunition information on the right screen, "No. 2 and 3, pay attention to preparing to receive attack information, and cross-lock the target in the regular order of engagement."

Di Boqing assigned the two wingmen to attack targets as quickly as possible

According to the arrangement of the long plane, 3 fighters against 6 enemy planes, each fighter launches 4 interceptor missiles, and attacks 4 enemy planes respectively, so as to ensure that each enemy plane is attacked by 2 missiles from 2 fighters, so that even if there is an unexpected situation, such as a problem with the fire control system of a certain fighter or a certain fighter is shot down, it can ensure that all 6 enemy aircraft are attacked

"Target assignment is complete, radar locks on target, distance 85, ready to fire at any time"

Hearing his partner's words, Liang Guoxiang quickly connected the power supply of the fire control switch and said: "No. 2 and No. 3 pay attention, lock on to the target, and follow the long plane to fire."

"2 Lock Target"

"3 Locked Targets"

"Prepare to ......" Liang Guoxiang took a deep breath, pressed the launch switch and said at the same time, "Fire!" ”

The 3J-10B launched 4" Thunderbolt-14 missiles at a frequency of one second apart, and the other 9 fighters of the 3rd squad also fired interceptor missiles one after another

"Turn right at full speed and follow the long plane"

After launching the missile, Liang Guoxiang immediately chose to avoid Di Boqing, who was sitting in the back row, while staring at the electromagnetic signal data displayed on the electronic warfare screen, while calculating the time when the missile entered the final attack

In addition, the 3 fighters of the 9 squad also chose to turn to evade after firing the missile

Although the early warning aircraft of the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force was killed, the maximum detection range of the fire control radar of the F-15 fighter against the J-10B medium fighter exceeded 220 kilometers, :=140160 kilometers, because it was too "ruthless", and it was too late to adjust the direction of attack when encountering, so the J-10B group could not avoid the search range of the F-15

When using conventional tactics, the J-10B can only hope for a more powerful interceptor missile

The "Thunderbolt-14" medium-range air-to-air missile has a maximum head-on attack range of 120 kilometers and a maximum tail pursuit attack range of 65 kilometers, and among the several medium-range air-to-air missiles used by the F-15, the AIM-120C, which has the best performance, has a maximum head-on attack range of only 80 meters and a maximum tail pursuit attack range of 45 kilometers

Don't underestimate this little gap, because this not only determines the active and passive, but also determines the life and death of both parties

After launching the missile at 85 kilometers, Liang Guoxiang not only grasped the opportunity, but also forced the Japanese pilots into a desperate situation, because when it was the turn of the Japanese fighters to launch the missiles, the combat situation changed from facing to chasing, and the Japanese pilots had to speed up and shorten the engagement distance by less than 45 meters, and the "Thunderbolt 14" missile would enter the autonomous attack stage before that, so accelerating forward could only speed up the speed at which the Japanese pilots were moving towards death, and if the Japanese pilots turned to flee, they would not only lose the opportunity to attack the J-10B groupFalling into a situation of being passively beaten, it will also expose the group of attack planes that are following behind, disrupting the tactical arrangements of the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force

"Brother Liang, the Japanese fighter did not turn to evade"

"Great, we saved a lot of missiles!"

"Holy shit, are all the good pilots in Japan finished, sending a bunch of rookies"

"Rookies are also birds, it's our turn to harvest"

Di Boqing guessed correctly, it was indeed a group of "rookies" who fought with them at this time

In the first round of the conflict, the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force lost more than the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation combined, with 115 pilots killed, missing, and captured, 38 disabled, another 4 mental breakdowns of 14 hours, and two large-scale air battles, in which the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force lost nearly half of its fighter pilots

During the seven-day ceasefire, Japan not only managed to obtain a batch of fighter planes from the United States, but also recruited reserve fighter pilots

Of the 24 Japanese pilots of the 24 F-15C fighters that Liang Guoxiang encountered, 17 were from the reserve forces, 5 were from other air forces, and only 2 participated in the first round of conflicts

To make matters worse, when the United States supplied the F-15C to Japan, it dismantled the tactical data link that was "top secret".

When the J-10B group activated the fire control radar and provided fire control information for the missiles in the track-lock mode, only the 2 team leader realized the danger

If the Japanese fleet had turned around at this time, it might have been able to save the day

The problem is that the F-15C, which does not have a tactical data link, can only exchange information via radio, and the command and control capabilities of the long aircraft over the wingman are greatly weakened

For air battles where time is measured in seconds, or even milliseconds, a few words of conversation are enough to determine victory or defeat

"Brother Liang, it's time to turn around" Di Boqing said while switching the radar working mode, "Attention all aircraft, prepare to re-lock the target, fire guidance mode"

"Follow the long machine steering, let's complete the last step!"

12 J-10Bs steered at maximum speed

After the nose was redirected towards the Japanese fighters, the 12 J-10B's fire control radars illuminated each of the 24 F-15Cs in "fire guidance mode".

The electromagnetic wave with a special signal hit the Japanese fighter at the speed of light, and then reflected back, intercepted by the seeker of the "Thunderbolt 14" missile that was approaching the Japanese fighter, activated the control system of the missile, and the active radar on the missile immediately began to work, and immediately switched to tracking and locking mode after searching for a target that matched the characteristic information, guiding the missile into the final sprint stage

The J-10B fleet did not turn again, but rushed to the Japanese group

Japanese fighters will certainly fight to the death at the last moment, setting the AIM-120 shell to inertial + active radar attack mode, and then launching the missile at the fastest speed

Sure enough, less than 10 after the J-15B group turned, the radar warning machine sounded

"Brother Liang, radar alert"

"Heard"

"10 seconds have come, the Japanese fighter must have launched a missile"

"Keep an eye on enemy aircraft formations"

"Staring...... Enemy aircraft scattered in formation...... The first enemy aircraft was hit by a missile...... Second ......"

"Attention all planes, follow the long plane to speed up!" Liang Guoxiang was not excited at all, because the battle had just begun

12 J-10Bs opened the afterburner at the same time, broke the sound barrier in the muffled sonic boom, and approached the Japanese fleet at a faster speed

When AIM-120 adopts inertial + active radar attack mode, the pilot must set the time for the missile to enter the autonomous attack stage from the inertial flight stage in advance, so to speak, this is the least efficient attack mode, if the target's course, speed, altitude and other states change, the missile will be lost In order to make up for this defect, the American designers have added a performance to AIM-120, that is, after the carrier aircraft launches the missile, it can adjust the time for the missile to enter the autonomous attack stage with radio commands, The missile attack mode becomes inertial + radio command + active radar

After the Japanese fleet was broken up by missiles, let alone guided missiles, I am afraid that it is not even clear where the J-10B fleet is

"Brother Liang, 17 enemy planes were shot down, and 2 missiles were shot down by our launchers"

"Heard" Liang Guoxiang smiled slightly, "Annihilate the remnants of the enemy in squad mode, Lao Zhu, how many have you killed?" ”

"Not much, only 3"

"Holy shit!" Di Boqing cursed in a low voice

"Scatter the squads to attack, don't let go of a little devil!" Liang Guoxiang, who was calm at first, suddenly became excited

"Brother Liang, Lao Zhu has 5 results, we can't be soft"

"Keep an eye on the screen and don't let the little devil slip away!"

Because the battle is fought at night, the sensors and detectors on the fighter must be relied on to detect nearby enemy aircraft, and the pilot's naked eye does not play much role

The 1210B of the 4th squad pursued the Japanese fighters who were scattered and fled

For Liang Guoxiang, this is a battle without much suspense, the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force at this time may not even be comparable to the Indian Air Force a year ago, at least the excellent combat air combat capabilities of the Su-30MKI can make Liang Guoxiang, who is flying the J-10B, do his best, and the old-fashioned F-15C is not the opponent of the J-10B at all!

Damn it*

The fierce air battle has begun, and the time has come to reap the results, on the monthly pass! (To be continued)
