Volume 7 The Smoke of the Peninsula Chapter 42

Immediately after announcing its entry into the war, the country took substantive action to impact the United States and South Korea.

At 12:55, the South Korean fleet was intercepted again over the Nam River east of Pyongyang, and 27 fighter jets, including 11 F-35Ks, were shot down.

At 13:C7, the 12J-15 of the Republic Air Force and the 12F/A-18F of the US Navy engaged in a battle over Hamhung, with each side losing 3 and 7 fighters each.

The U.S. military quickly adjusted its deployment, and the three aircraft carrier battle groups operating in the Sea of Japan retreated 50 nautical miles in the direction of Japan.

The ROK Air Force also immediately adjusted its tactical arrangements, and the E-111 early warning planes patrolling over Chuncheon went north to reach the vicinity of Pyeongkang in order to detect the fighters of the Republic Air Force in time, and the heavy air supremacy fighter squadron took off urgently to seize air supremacy in the airspace north of the DPRK.

Very aggressive, and very provocative "offensive" deployment.

At 13:25, the 113th squadron went into battle with the 116th squadron.

AWACS aircraft of the ROK Air Force detected the J-15A group, but did not detect the J-14 group in time. 24F-22K immediately stepped forward to intercept and attempted to launch a surprise attack on J-15.

At a distance of 150 kilometers from the J-115 fleet, the F-22K fighter activated the fire control radar and fired AIM-120D missiles.

The "technical" problems of the South Korean Air Force were exposed.

The F-22K sold by the United States to South Korea is a standard "simplified version". It is not equipped with a high-capacity tactical data link. Information on ground targets provided by AWACS aircraft is not available. It can only rely on its own ground-based fire control radar to obtain target information. The sale of the E-111 to South Korea is also a "simplified version". Not equipped with a tactical data link system!

The F-22K ground-based fire control radar has just been activated. It was immediately intercepted by the DY-14 electronic machine that was patrolling the sky over the Hunjiang River.

Tactical information was transmitted to the KJ-22 police plane and the fighter plane on the interception mission at lightning speed. Although the F-22K's ground stealth capabilities are not "discounted". RCS (Radar Reflection Cross-Section) is only 1 square meter. But it's not untraceable. Just because the reflection is too weak. It will be automatically filtered out by the ground information processing system of the AWACS aircraft. The source of electromagnetic reflection was identified. The commander of ground-to-air combat on the AWACS aircraft can manually calibrate the tracked target. So as to achieve continuous tracking of the target.

More importantly. When the F-22K missile is launched, it must have a bomb bay hatch. RCS will increase dramatically!

f revealed his whereabouts. Receiving the alert, the J-15 did not immediately turn.

Wait until the F-22K ground-based fire control radar is turned off. The DY-14 again raised the alarm to the J-15 fleet. Subsequently. The J-15A fleet turned to "escape" at a distance of about 80 kilometers from the F-22K fleet.

The problem was in front of the South Korean fighters.

Although the E-111 early warning aircraft accompanying the F-22K on the mission found that the J-15 group was turning to "escape" thousands of kilometers away and sent a message to the F-22K group, the South Korean fighter pilots did not have more options.

The AIM-120D has a maximum range of only 120 km, and less than 80 km when it is in pursuit.

After the J-15A turned, it was able to escape from AIM-120D without danger:
