Confirming that the confrontation was about to begin, they sat in the simulator and closed the hatch, and the two young people quickly determined the confrontation information under Lu Chunjiang's instructions and entered the one-on-one simulated battle environment.

As the system prompt flashed, a confrontation with the assault machine on the simulator officially began.

Seeing the text prompt "timer start" appeared on the screen in front of him, Du Feng, who was in the SFM7560 simulator, moved his wrist and soon began to operate quite skillfully.

As an active pilot of the front-line unit and an elite of assault aircraft responsible for combat readiness, Major Du Feng of a regiment of the Fifth Air Division usually trains on a series of special simulators in the training center of the Miyun base, and the content is naturally closer to actual combat; As for the SFM7560 he is in control of, it took some time when he first joined the army a few years ago and learned the basic control techniques of the assault aircraft.

However, this little rustiness is not a problem at all for Feifei, who has been training non-stop, and a few minutes of warm-up is enough for the pilot to wake up his memory, and now the X-8A "Yanlong" controlled by Du Feng has completed takeoff and is accelerating to climb close to the predetermined combat zone. Because it was a confrontation on the simulator, the major did not hesitate to turn on the engine power, and the thrust-to-weight ratio of the X-8A exceeded 3.0 as soon as the fighter turned to level flight and accelerated, and it only took more than ten seconds to push the thick body of the attacker to break through the sound barrier!

In the training room outside the simulator, with the thunderous roar of the fighter plane breaking the sound barrier, the sky presented on the screen from the third perspective is extraordinarily vast, and the sonic boom clouds around the silver-gray slender giant bird flash away, dragging a narrow white track all the way forward in the sky.

The Du Feng landline here has already taken to the air to attack. on the other side of the simulator. What about Long Yun's situation?

Sitting in the cockpit of the "Yanlong", which felt quite strange around him. Trying to recall all his memories of this kind of assault aircraft, Long Yun was also busy on the panel with both hands at this time, he held the control stick steady with his right hand, steadily increasing the thrust of the engine, and the heavy X-8A accelerated forward on the runway under his control, and then suddenly raised the nose and left the ground.

Yes, unlike Du Feng's neat take-off, the current Long Yun can be said to have no choice, he knows very well that he may not be able to do difficult actions such as vertical take-off and landing, or it is more reliable to run and take off honestly!

Although for the "Yanlong". The fighter flight control system has a complete airframe balance monitoring system, which can help pilots implement risk-free vertical take-off and landing, but the interface and functions of these systems are completely unknown, and Long Yun's current decision-making is still very cautious. Piloting the gray fighter to the virtual blue sky of the simulator, carefully increasing the thrust until Mach 1.7, the green numbers projected on the head-up display made Long Yun feel very abrupt, he was indeed not used to a fighter plane speeding up to 2,000 kilometers per hour so quickly, which was already faster than the speed limit of many traditional fighters.

But fast is fast, the planned engagement area on the display screen is in front of you, and the real confrontation is about to come.

Such a simulated confrontation. Because it was to observe and consider Long Yun's flight and combat skills, the confrontation environment Lu Chunjiang chose was also very simple. It's just a flat land under the blue sky and white clouds, it can be said that it is like a ring where fighters fight each other, and there are no environmental factors to consider.

Since the environment was so simple, after taking off, Major Du Feng flew straight forward from the pilot plane and entered the predetermined engagement area with a radius of 200 kilometers.

Compared with Du Feng, who completely entered the state and drove the fighter into the war zone with a rainbow momentum, the speed of the "Yanlong" piloted by Long Yun was slower, but the pilot's control was different, but the performance of the fighter was exactly the same, after entering the combat area one after another, the distributed radar detection system on the two "Yanlong" soon found the target in the sky, and a red bright spot soon appeared on the multi-function display in front of Long Yun, and the attached parameters showed an altitude of 11,000 kilometers, a distance of 350, and a radial speed of Mach 2!

On the one hand, the distributed radar system on the "Yanlong" is indeed powerful, and on the other hand, it is also because the RCS value of the fighter itself is on the high side, which is almost one square meter in the X-band, otherwise it is unlikely that the target will be exposed at such a long distance.

Observing the situation of the enemy on the display screen, seeing that the opponent was obviously rushing straight to kill, Long Yun's mind was still relatively focused at this time, he concentrated on using some of his understanding of the attack plane, and then quickly decided on the idea of engagement.

When explaining the situation just now, didn't Colonel Lu say that "the 'Yanlong' in fighter mode is almost a powerful and extraordinarily resistant F-14"? Since I'm still very unfamiliar with the Assault Aircraft at the moment, let's consider this a fighter with amazing performance for the time being, so it should be barely possible!

Not to mention anything else, if he can control the "Yanlong" like this, and the landline of Major Du Feng on the opposite side also has the same performance, then he should still have a chance, right?

As it turned out, Long Yun still thought things too simply.

In the simulator of the SFM7560, it feels like the "Yanlong" is flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters, since the airborne equipment has prompted the discovery of the target - in other words, this is still an air battle in the traditional sense, the target 350 kilometers away, even if you see it, there is no way to strike it - Long Yun quickly confirmed the weapon mount of the machine, the air-to-air missiles are a total of 24 PL-15, including 12 long-range stamping PL-15K and 12 standard medium-range PL-15C; In addition, there are two 35-mm electromagnetic guns with 1,200 rounds of ammunition.

Missiles and artillery guns, and they are all large and sufficient, such a weapon configuration can be called luxurious on a fighter plane, but obviously no weapon can attack a target more than 300 kilometers away.

After browsing the multi-function display for a moment and confirming this again, Long Yun immediately decided to keep the existing altitude unchanged and further speed up the enemy, his initial plan was to approach the opponent head-on until within 200 kilometers, preemptively implement a round of dense PL-15K salvo, and then break into a distance of 100 kilometers under the cover of long-range missiles, and then choose the opportunity to launch a wave of PL-15C to meet the enemy, if it still can't be done, rush up to fight the cannon in one go!

In the parallel world, he has a brilliant record as Viktor Rezenov and is also a competitive fighter in the real world, although he is now facing the pilots of the Air Force's active attack aircraft, Long Yun still does not have a trace of timidity to act quickly.

Standing in the light blue sky, the "Yanlong" sprinting at a speed of more than Mach 2 is still quite confident in his combat skills, after all, the attack planes piloted by both sides are now set up in what "fighter mode", and if you fly a fighter to fight, not to mention that you will definitely win, at least he will not have the strength to fight back!

With such an idea, driving the fighter all the way forward, the galloping "Yan Dragon" accelerated under the control of Long Yun, and the Du Feng landline in the sky in front of him was also attacking at a high speed, hundreds of kilometers of sky distance, but at this time it seemed so close, the two roaring war monsters were relatively close at a speed of more than 1,500 meters, and it only took about two minutes to approach each other within 200 kilometers.

At a distance of 200 kilometers from friend to enemy, the vast majority of fighters can only call in vain, but when the carrier aircraft and the target are close to each other at Mach 2.4 speed, the attack envelope of the PL-15K long-range missile will be greatly expanded, and the target can already be put into the attack envelope!

According to a series of prompts from the fire control system, Long Yun pressed the button after the system prompted the command "can be fired" appeared, and fired out all 12 PL-15Ks in the belly magazine at a five-second interval.

With the launch of the missile, thin and narrow white smoke trails quickly appeared in the sky in front of Long Yun's line of sight; From the holographic projection angle of the training room, two clusters of missiles appeared in the originally clear 10,000-meter-high sky. After launching an over-the-horizon attack, the on-board equipment of the "Yanlong" began to automatically provide medium-range command corrections for the departing missiles, and the fire control system indicated that it was expected to meet the target after 120 seconds.

In one hundred and twenty seconds, even the stamped PL-15K thruster will have burned out, Long Yun thought of this and knew that it was unlikely that this wave of missile attacks would work, and he still hoped that it would be more reliable to press the opponent and then continue to launch medium-range missile attacks!

Having made up his mind, after launching the missile, he kept moving forward at high speed, Long Yun found from the radar screen that the opponent's track was basically unchanged, and it was flying head-on at a higher speed, and he thought for a while that Major Du Feng had adopted the same tactics as himself; Thinking that his choice coincided with the active Feifei, he was still a little happy in his heart, so that the tactics of the two sides were basically the same, that is, to approach, and then fight the rhythm of maneuvering?

With full confidence in his fighting ability, Long Yun continued to drive the "Yan Dragon" forward to meet the enemy, but as the target track on the display screen changed, and then disappeared briefly and reappeared, he quickly denied his previous superficial speculation, the opponent obviously had other plans, he was-

Is it doing a side-turning maneuver?

But the intermittent appearance of the target signal continues, if he is going to fight his own radar detection, is it also too unsmooth?

When it comes to the confrontation between the attack planes, whether they also have to rely on sideways maneuvers to avoid the opponent's radar tracking, Long Yun still doesn't know much, but he feels that this should at least be a harmful and useless means of response, so he mobilizes the fire control system on the panel to respond and continue to track the target, so as to provide correction instructions for the two batches of missiles stuck in the air.
