A big country of aerospace with black technology.

Chapter 256 Air combat in the intelligent era!
The confrontation drill that Shi Hu has been thinking about will finally begin at the end of October.

Then begins the fifth Golden Helmet competition.

"Huzi, how are you? Are you confident that you will come back with a golden helmet this year?"

The troop leader went out of his way to find him before they set out.

As the most important competition of the Air Force every year, everyone attaches great importance to it.

"Last year, you were the only one in our military region who almost defeated that group of people. If anyone in our military region can win the championship this year, you are the only one who has this possibility!"

In the coastal areas at the end of October, the sea breeze was biting, and no matter how many clothes you wore, you couldn't stop it. You could only fight with your integrity.

But Shi Hu only felt an extremely warm passion rising in his heart, and the blood in his whole body seemed to be on fire.

"I will definitely defeat them this year!"

Shi Hu issued a military order on the spot.

The competition for the Golden Helmet title was fierce last year.

Whether it was an individual competition or a team competition, everyone almost tried their best until the end.

Everyone brought out their own special skills!

Raise high to hit, take position against the light, fly to the sun, stick to the ground to penetrate defense, and jump to attack.

Various tactics emerge in endlessly.

In terms of specific tactical movements, almost everyone is proficient in several types of maneuvers such as half-roll inversion, L maneuver, sawtooth maneuver, and various maneuvers to avoid missile attacks.

In the individual competition, Shi Hu fought fiercely with Nan Batian's ace pilot Hu Jialiang for 10 minutes, and both sides were judged to have been shot down at the same time.

This is why Shi Hu's troop leader thinks he has the best chance of winning the golden helmet.

He is indeed only a little bit away from winning the championship!

Shi Hu can still recall the scene when the director decided that both sides were shot down by missiles fired from each other, and the other side flew a fighter plane back to the airport side by side with him.

In fact, Shi Hu's position suffered a little loss at that time.

His position is lower and he faces the opponent sideways, giving the opponent the opportunity to fire first.

Although Shihu immediately released the hot bait bomb, he also adjusted the nose of the aircraft to launch the missile.

But in terms of time, he was actually shot down earlier than Hu Jialiang.

From this aspect, he can be considered a loser.

After all, Hu Jialiang had a chance to parachute, and he still had a certain chance of surviving.

But I have no chance at all.
-
The first thing to start was the confrontation exercise.

Representatives of Shi Hu's aviation brigade participated in the exercise.

October 10, 31 am.

The siren sounded throughout the camp.

The pilots, who were still resting, jumped out of bed as if they were shaking.

He quickly put on his clothes and hurried to the equipment room.

It only took less than 3 minutes from the time the alarm sounded to the time they ran to the equipment room where the aviation suits were placed.

Air Force equipment is much more difficult to wear than Army equipment.

Especially the fighter planes they fly need to fly at an altitude of [-] meters for a long time.

You need to wear special anti-gravity suits, masks, helmets, etc.

In addition to the pilots, other units also began to work.

The surface-to-air missile battery, radar, communications, aircraft maintenance, etc. were all busy.

Ten minutes later, Shi Hu was the first to board his fighter plane.

For him, it is now equivalent to entering a state of war.

After experiencing the ultimate short-distance acceleration of 300 meters, the fighter's overwhelming power pushed the dozens of tons of fuselage to take off from the ground!
After taking off, Shi Hu quickly raised his altitude.

At this time, the director's report came from the communication band.

"The airport has been subjected to comprehensive electromagnetic suppression by the enemy, and the radar, runway, and missile positions have been completely destroyed."

Shi Hu was shocked, thinking that this exercise would not be that simple.

But this was such a high intensity that Shi Hu never expected it.

In the data link, I contacted surrounding friendly forces, but only two fighters completed takeoff!

You know, their brigade has 24 fighter planes!
The ones left now were either blown up on the runway, or helplessly stuck in the hangar, unable to ascend to the sky.

After a brief exchange in the communication band, they determined that Shi Hu would be the core.

And classified Shi Hu's fighter plane as the No. 1 aircraft.

"Now that our airport has been bombed, we have actually lost."

After that, Shi Hu calmly stated this reality.

According to the director's statement, their airport was attacked and they had no place to land.

"What we can do now is make the exchange ratio look better."

Subsequently, Shi Hu formulated an extremely bold plan.

First of all, the report mentioned that their airport was subject to electromagnetic suppression by the other party.

So where are the opponent's electronic warfare aircraft?

This is the first question.

If they don't deal with the electronic warfare aircraft on the opposite side, their situation will be very passive.

Especially now that they have lost ground radar guidance.

Unit 3 took the lead in breaking away from the formation and lowered its altitude to 5000 meters.

It will use itself as bait to lure the snake out of its hole!
After analysis, Shi Hu believed that the opponent's electronic warfare aircraft had definitely been specially modified for the J-20.

Even though the J-20 has excellent stealth performance, it may still be detected within hundreds of kilometers.

Unit No. 2 exists as a data link relay at an altitude of 12000 meters.

Shi Hu and the others were lucky. After flying for a while, they accidentally discovered the Blue Army's early warning aircraft!
This is an Air Police-2000 that has just been modified.

The early warning range of the Air Police-2000 did not seem to be as far as they imagined.

Plane No. 3 has flown to a distance of less than 2000 kilometers from the Air Police-200.

Had it not been for the missile replacement plan for No. 3 aircraft, it would not have been completed.

It was not replaced by the PL-210 with a range of 15 kilometers.

Otherwise it would have been attackable now.

At this moment, the huge early warning aircraft seemed to have discovered the fighter jets that were rushing around it.

He began to fly towards his rear very quickly.

And during the retreat process, the incoming fighter data was transmitted to the accompanying stealth fighter.

Shi Hu was fighting against his old acquaintance this time.

Bai Xuejun, a master of tactics.

"No attack -1, prepare to attack forward."

The J-20 driven by Bai Xuejun is very special, it is a two-seater version.

Sitting in the back seat was the weapons officer.

He concentrated on operating the three delta-wing stealth drones that accompanied the fighter jets.

The No. [-] UAV has already begun to move forward, and the No. [-] and No. [-] UAVs ejected two ultra-long-range air-to-air missiles from the built-in magazines.

After using the data from the early warning aircraft to complete the initial search for the enemy, it quickly flew towards the target.

When they reached the target within a few dozen kilometers, the No. [-] UAV, which had already moved forward, carried out relay guidance for the missile, allowing them to continue tracking the target.

Inside the cabin of the No. 3 J-20, an extremely fast siren sounded.

Foretelling the incoming missile.The pilot flying No. 3 aircraft quickly released all the jamming bombs on board.

Within 3 seconds, four jamming bomb launchers located on the tail cones on both sides of the tail fired 80 jamming bombs.

Thunderbolt 15 is very fast and has strong anti-interference ability.

However, faced with an extremely large number of jamming bombs, one missile was still successfully deceived and exploded in the air.

But the good luck of the pilot of Plane 3 ended there.

A few seconds later, the PL-15 caught up with the No. 3 aircraft, which was constantly doing various maneuvers to try to get rid of the missile.

The pilots in the cockpit did not stop working hard until the last moment.

But the missile wouldn't give him this chance.

After a smokeless micro-explosion, Unit 3 was judged to have failed during the exercise.

Officially withdrawn from this exercise!

At this time, less than 2 minutes had passed since he had just discovered the early warning aircraft!

In the era of intelligence, the distance of firefights has been greatly lengthened, and the time of firefights has also been greatly shortened.

Shi Hu, who was in Unit 1, faced the withdrawal of his comrades, and there was a fire burning in his heart!
Within 2 minutes, he started the afterburner flight and dived at a high speed of Mach 18000 from an altitude of 3 meters!
Prepare to take advantage of this opportunity and kill the opponent's early warning aircraft first!

The data link that the No. 3 aircraft had not closed just now also let him know that the detection distance of the early warning aircraft to the stealth fighter was about 200 kilometers.

The Pili-9D air-to-air missiles they are currently equipped with have a maximum range of 110 kilometers.

In other words, Shihu must continue to attack for at least 90 kilometers within the detection range of the early warning aircraft before he can reach the attack range!

90 kilometers, the J-20 takes one and a half minutes after turning on afterburner.

Whether this battle can be successful depends on whether Shi Hu can survive this period of time!
In order to cover Shi Hu's assault, Unit 2 will provide cover for him and move the opponent to another direction first.

Implement the strategy of moving the tiger away from the mountain.

Fighter planes roared and cut through the white clouds in the sky.

The No. 2 aircraft headed southeast and passed within the range of the early warning aircraft.

After confirming that the opponent was catching up, Unit 2 turned on afterburner flight and tried its best to lead the opponent farther away.

Bai Xuejun looked at the fighter planes flying farther and farther on the LCD monitor without saying anything else.

As a master tactician, he could tell at a glance what the opponent was trying to do.

However, he still did not underestimate the enemy and directly dispatched his ace pilot, Hu Jialiang.

Let him go and play with the other person.

Shi Hu was now completely immersed in piloting the fighter plane.

It has almost reached the legendary state of man-machine integration.

After turning on the afterburner, the thrust of the two engines was pushed to the limit and began to spit out dark blue flames.

The flat body soars in the blue sky.

Just now, the No. 2 aircraft had already figured out the approximate current location of the early warning aircraft for him.

All he had to do was lunge.

The J-20's afterburner time cannot last too long.

It can only last for 14 minutes at most.

But for Shi Hu, this time is enough.

A second passed through a space of more than 1000 meters, and in 2 minutes Shihu had flown less than 180 kilometers away from the early warning aircraft.

Bai Xuejun naturally dispatched three unmanned attack aircraft to form a group, preparing to attack him.

The WuGong-1 is used as a forward signal relay aircraft, and the No. [-] and No. [-] aircraft exist almost as arsenal aircraft.

Soon, two PL-15 missiles attacked Shihu.

After releasing 40 rounds of thermal bombs and 40 rounds of chaff, it successfully evaded two missile attacks.

The PL-15 uses terminal active radar guidance plus infrared guidance.

The jamming bombs on the Shihu aircraft are exactly aimed at these two guidance methods.

Therefore, Shihu's condition was better than that of the previous Unit 3, and he escaped the first wave of attacks.

But the non-attack stealth fighter has a large magazine.

A single fighter aircraft can carry eight missiles, including four long-range air-to-air missiles and four medium-range missiles.

Even though Wu Gong-1 is a specialized signal relay type, it still carries two long-range air-to-air missiles.

In addition, Bai Xuejun's own J-20 has 4 PL-9Ds in its magazine (two-seat command electronic equipment has increased, and the bomb load has decreased accordingly).

Bai Xuejun's group has 22 missiles of various types, which is not only far more than a single J-20.

The bomb load even exceeds that of the third-generation aircraft that does not have a built-in magazine and uses a mount!
Therefore, Bai Xuejun's second wave of attacks directly launched two long-range air-to-air missiles, the Pili-2, and two medium-range air-to-air missiles, the Pili-15D.

It took less than 10 seconds from the failure of the first wave of attacks to the launch of the second wave of attacks.

The distance between Shihu and the early warning aircraft has been further shortened, and the current distance is less than 150 kilometers!

The outcome will be decided in the next 30 seconds!
The distance between the two non-attack arsenal aircraft and Shihu was 80 kilometers, and it was still getting closer.

Because the stone tiger was flying towards them non-stop.

Two Pili-15s flew towards Shihu at a speed of Mach 5.2.

The relative speed of the two sides reached above Mach 8.

28.7 seconds later, two missiles appeared in front of Shi Hu.

At this time, the distance between him and the early warning aircraft was 115 kilometers.

Shihu used a variety of methods to try to get rid of the incoming missiles.

It just bought me 6 more seconds!
After discovering that he was within range, he decisively pressed the button to launch the missile.

Immediately, the director determined that it had been shot down by a missile and withdrew from the exercise.

Shi Hu didn't care that he quit the exercise.

But he was more concerned about whether he shot down the early warning aircraft.

However, he waited in the communication channel for a long time and did not receive a notification from the director's department.

So he sighed, knowing that his final desperate attack still failed to achieve corresponding results.

Shi Hu only learned after the exercise that his missile had actually hit the target.

But it didn't hit the early warning aircraft.

Instead it hit an arsenal aircraft.

Compared with early warning aircraft, which cost more than one billion, the cost of unmanned attack aircraft is very low.

The cost of a single frame is less than [-] million.

Considering the lesser of the two evils, Bai Xuejun naturally assigned the task of using Wu Gong-3 as an early warning aircraft to block missiles.

The entire exercise ended when the No. 1 aircraft piloted by Shi Hu was judged to have been shot down.

The No. 2 aircraft responsible for the task of diverting the tiger away from the mountain was determined to have been destroyed half a minute earlier than he did.

Shi Hu and the others achieved the result of annihilating the entire army during the entire exercise.

It really surprised many people who originally thought that the two sides could at least fight back and forth!
After all, judging from the main battle equipment.

There is not much difference between the two sides.

But only Shi Hu, who has had a head-on confrontation, knows this.

How big is the gap between the two sides?

This gap is not a gap in main battle equipment.

It’s the gap in the entire combat system.

They are fighting a complete combat system!

For the first time, the intelligent system air combat showed its sharp fangs in front of the world!
