The radar can't see it, the RWR can't detect it, and if that's the case, then the ALSA lads will have to find another way to deal with it.

But now it seems that this is clearly not a problem -- for some reason, the "ghosts" of radar stealth do not use the corresponding low-detectable radar system, and the F-15 fleet, which has roughly known the location of the enemy aircraft from the radar warning instrument, turns to the side of the incoming enemy aircraft and actively changes positions while uploading the target information to the early warning aircraft.

In any case, since the radar signal of the enemy plane is aimed at, it is conceivable that the over-the-horizon missiles of the Liberals are coming, and it is not a good idea to fire RHAAM (Radar_Homing_Air_to_air_Missile, radar-guided air-to-air missile) head-on with stealth fighters.

One side is violent, the other side is flexible, and the over-the-horizon battle in the sky seems to be about to break out in full force.

In this weather where the near-earth atmosphere is full of sand and dust, and it is not suitable for launching ground attacks, the battle in the clear sky never stops; After a period of training and preparation, the "ghosts" that haunt the skies of the Middle East have become fully combat-capable, and today's large-scale sortie is the beginning of the "Xueliang Scimitar" being put into full-scale combat. Compared with the previous days when large formations were dispatched but only turned off the radar to carry out some patrol missions, today's actions of the "ghosts" are more in line with the consistent line of thought of fighter formation warfare, and the routine of "from over-the-horizon to visual vision" is also the same as the usual habits of the FSA.

After seizing the position, a round of rapid over-the-horizon missile salvos was launched, and the four "Ghost" fighters in the sky fired sixteen AIM-120Cs in one breath with great momentum. The slender arrows that were hugging each other were dragging the white smoke forward. Under the command of the middle section of the carrier aircraft, it met the "eagle" flock flying from the sky.

The initial velocity of the launch is Mach 1.3, and the altitude difference is more than 1,000 meters. In the face of the head-on target's "Slammer" attack envelope can be described as quite loose, the YF-23 fleet while maintaining the middle guidance, while preparing to outflank the opponent to the inside of the track, obviously these Liberal pilots although arrogant, but not completely slack, in the face of experienced ALSA, no one will think that a wave of BVR attacks can completely destroy the opponent, so maintaining a pressing posture, forcibly occupying the position, is crucial to the next melee battle.

"Crucial" and can even go head-to-head. At least that's what the FSA pilots think.

In the face of the surging missiles in the sky, the RWR alarm kept sounding, and the F-15 formation, which had limited radar sight, knew that the threat was imminent, but this information alone could not make the most favorable response.

The radar warning is triggered, and the missiles have already pounced, but how far is the enemy at this time, and when did the Liberal fighters launch the missiles -- or it boils down to the most lethal question, the over-the-horizon missiles flying in the sky, and how many seconds are there before they encounter their own landline?

This question. It can be said that every pilot who is in the sky and facing the missile is most interested in the answer; However, air-to-air missiles with extremely fast speed and small projection area are difficult to detect after all, and it is even more difficult to complete tracking and ranging at once. Due to the current state of technology, it is unlikely that this time will be accurately reported - despite this, the ALSA pilot flying the gray warhawk was quickly prompted, and the appearance of the W-band radar warning signal gave the boys two messages at once, the sneaking Liberal fighter jets had indeed launched active radar-guided missiles, and these missiles, no matter what the model, were now close to a distance of twenty kilometers!

One of the early characteristics of the W-band irradiation of active radar-guided missiles and the continuous intermittent sound of RWR indicates that the missile homing head has been turned on but has not yet intercepted the target.

Generally speaking, when attacking non-stealthy targets, the starting point of the self-homing head of a modern active missile will be set by the fire control system at a distance of about 20 kilometers from the predetermined junction point. Of course, experienced pilots can set this parameter on their own to make the attack more unexpected, but it is clear that the FSA pilots did not take this step, and the "Eagle" group still has a large clear blue sky in front of them, and there is not even a trace of an incoming missile, so that the upper and lower limits of the distance and the near limit determine the missile's air range.

In the face of the astonishing speed and imminent active bomb, in the general air combat process, the next step should be a life-and-death duel between the fighter and the homing head.

However, in the vast sky at this time, the situation is not the same as all these countermeasures, before the afterburner was turned on all the way to speed up the climb, just in the "ghosts" launched an over-the-horizon attack, to the missile approaching in this short period of tens of seconds, the F-15 fighters with eye-catching paints that were not stingy with fuel at all were fully turned on, and the nose of the aircraft was like a heavy sword piercing the sky, while separating from each other far away, while pulling up the angle of attack and climbing strongly.

By the time the missiles flew from the horizon to the front, the two groups of "eagles," whose course had almost turned 100 degrees, had already climbed to an altitude of 13,000 meters in one go.

With the frantic output of the engine, the squandered auxiliary fuel tanks were successively separated from the pylons, and in an instant they blended into the earthy yellow earth background, and the F-15, which carried two auxiliary fuel tanks and was full of fuel in the aircraft, had just run out of external fuel at this time, but had already achieved an altitude difference of several thousand meters relative to the incoming missile.

While accelerating, climbing, and turning out of the existing track, ALSA's heavy aircraft formation was still fighting bravely a moment ago, as if it was going to fight hard with the oncoming "ghost" fleet, but at this time it was clear that it was like a deserter to accelerate and disengage, this tactic made the war-seeking Liberals very uncomfortable, they could see it clearly on the radar, but there was no way to take any remedy, they could only urge the engine to exert force, and also accelerate to catch up.

In the face of maneuvering and evading enemy planes, a large area of "Slammer" in the sky in front of them was naturally trying their best to climb high and try to intercept them, but in the face of the ALSA fleet that completely changed its course all of a sudden, it was equivalent to smearing oil on the soles of their feet, and it was conceivable that none of these missiles with insufficient storage speed could hit.

"Damn, -- the planes report, are there any 'Slime' missiles?"

Sitting in the cockpit of the "ghost" fighter plane, which had been accelerating and the body tremor was gradually intensifying, seeing a wave of castration and rapid attacks in vain, and the planned follow-up tactics were useless, the commander of the team was a little angry, he stared at the radar scan information on the display screen, and shouted in the channel while scolding his opponent in his heart that he was a coward.

But isn't it, it doesn't matter if there is a lot of sand and dust on the ground now and the air supremacy is lost, otherwise the opponent will run away like this!

Since he is so cowardly, what kind of battle did he come to fight, and he turned around and fled without even seeing the shadow of the enemy plane, this kind of thing can't even be done by a rookie who has just joined the FSA for a day; Aren't these damn ALSA mercenaries afraid that the bombers of their Free Syrian Air Force will go all the way and drop bombs on the cannon fodder in Damascus?

In the sky battlefield on the front line of life and death, but anger is brewing in front of the multi-functional display, the feelings of the Syrians are actually a kind of "ghost" who has no fear, and feels that no matter how the opponent tosses, it is impossible to get radar stealth in the over-the-horizon confrontation; With such a kind of self-confidence, seeing that the enemy planes that had been in the direction of eleven o'clock had turned to the left and right, the commander decisively ordered to maintain formation and concentrate fire to pursue one of the routes.

After a round of over-the-horizon attacks just now, the YF-23, which has a limited capacity in the main magazine, has all exhausted the over-the-horizon missiles, and only four infrared combat missiles in the front magazine remain, but self-confidence still drives the Syrians all the way forward.

Finding that the enemy turned to break away, the driving plane was chasing after one after another, and the slender "ghost" with full power also had good high-speed flight performance, only to see a black giant bird accelerating to climb, and the cyan blue tail flame of the rectangular nozzle was extraordinarily transparent, as if a column of shining shuttle darts swept across the vast sky, and the mighty formation was quite oppressive and majestic.

As the ALSA and FSA armies approached head-on, similar confrontation scenes were staged in the "Syrian No-Fly Zone", the sky-shaped shì of war secrets and missiles flying horizontally was becoming more and more chaotic, and the black "ghosts" charging with their own knives were chasing the enemy planes in their sight, but they didn't know that such an act happened to be stepping into the quagmire of the dangerous sky.

Attack and evade, dodge and pursuit, the fighter planes under the infinite clear sky seem so small, and the track is almost a thin white line from a distance.

However, it is completely different from the scene of a vast sea and willow leaves and light boats on the surface, and at the front line of war, where the fighters are sparsely arranged and confronted and chased each other, it is heavily obscured by the shadowless electromagnetic signal, and becomes a one-way transparency with almost no dead ends.

In today's battle of the no-fly zone, as usual, the ALSA also has a well-equipped air situation and command system on the side, and the E-3C early warning aircraft escorted by several Su-35BM fighters have been patrolling the airspace of northeastern Jordan, sweeping a large area of the northern sky with a huge airborne phased array early warning radar.

For the YF-23 "ghost" with radar stealth, even the AN/APY-1C with an aperture and considerable power has a detection range of just over 100 kilometers, which seems to be a kind of chicken rib for controlling the air situation; However, with the deliberate evasion of ALSA fighters and the luring of the enemy to attack, the traces of the advancing black fighters appeared one after another on the battlefield control screen of the "watchtower".
