A big country of aerospace with black technology

Chapter 145 Elephant Walking, Golden Helmet!

One hundred and fifty J-10A fighter jets, arranged in a neat battle formation, taxied on the airport.

The distance between the fighter planes is very small, and the J-10A driver in the rear can even clearly see the sawtooth on the tail nozzle of the fighter jet above.

Elephant walks, a way to maximize the use of airport runways in times of war for fighter jets to take off.

Today is the opening ceremony of the Air Force's first practical training.

It highlights the high requirements of the upper echelon for the future actual combat of the Air Force.

Elite pilots selected from various aviation divisions will conduct a training that is infinitely close to actual combat here.

Zhao Gang, who is in charge of this competition, even said during the mobilization before the exercise:

"There are no rules for this exercise except that the combat distance cannot be less than 300 meters."

"We only look at the results!"

"Whoever shoots down the most gets this!"

While speaking, Zhao Gang patted a golden helmet on the table beside him.

Although it was only electroplated with a layer of gold on the surface, the honor it symbolized still made the pilots selected by various military regions gear up.

Although the high-level executives had always wanted to conduct actual combat exercises, they did not have the corresponding technical equipment and there was no way to carry them out.

Nowadays, whether it is the troops using the Su-27 or the aviation divisions using the J-10A, they have been trained for two or three years, and they are able to carry out this plan that has been on paper before.

The first thing to do was a team battle, and it was a large-scale team battle. On the one hand, it was a flight group composed of 36 J-10A planes, and on the other hand, it was a formation composed of 36 Su-27 planes.

The pilots on both sides are elite pilots in the air force, and they come from two different theaters.

Before this exercise, they had several months of run-in training, and the team fit has now reached a very high level.

Fighters on both sides of the air battle have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The most critical difference is that the Su-27 is a twin-engine heavy fighter, and the J-10A is only a single-engine medium fighter after all.

The difference in size is directly related to the range and combat radius of the two sides.

However, in this exercise, there is no test for the combat radius, so in this regard, the J-10A has erased its own disadvantages.

In the sky, the airspace with a radius of hundreds of kilometers has turned into a battlefield for fighter planes.

Although there is no real smoke billowing after the fighter jet was hit, it can be seen from the fighter jets that keep landing.

Under such combat conditions, the results of the J-10A far surpassed that of the Su-27.

"Old Su, who do you think will shoot down the most in this exercise?"

Zhao Gang, who is the highest person in charge of the entire exercise, asked Su Shangwu beside him.

Su Shangwu is not the same as Zhao Gang. He has come to his current position step by step from a pilot, and has a deeper understanding of the level and status of a pilot.

"It's hard to say, this exercise is irregular, and the focus still depends on the on-the-spot reaction ability of the pilots."

Although Su Shangwu understands the performance of pilots during flight training on weekdays, it is really difficult for him to predict the performance of pilots for such an exercise that is close to actual combat.

After all, the battlefield environment is changing rapidly, which is different from those almost constant training subjects.

The requirements for the pilot's instant response ability are very high, and this time there are no restrictions on altitude, speed, combat methods, etc.

It can be said that in addition to the requirement that the combat distance should not be less than 300 meters in order to protect the safety of the pilots.

The difference from real air combat is that the missiles fired are not live ammunition.

Of course, in order for the confrontation to go on smoothly, the J-10A did not come up with its own cheating equipment, the Thunderbolt 9D missile for beyond visual range combat.

If beyond-visual-range combat is turned on, then the Su-27 may not even touch the shadow of the J-10A, and all of them will be shot down.

Then this confrontation will lose its meaning.

However, in the follow-up four-person team competition, there will be a competition schedule in which both sides carry over-the-horizon missiles.

At this time, the battle in the sky was drawing to a close.

Modern air combat is different from the air combat in World War II or the Cold War in the past. There are very few scenes of machine gun confrontation.

Both sides in the war, to discover is to destroy.

You won't be given time to go back and forth for dogfights at all.

As for the scene in the film and television drama, the third-generation aircraft and the fourth-generation aircraft engaged in cannon dogfighting.

It can only exist in the screenwriter's brain world. In the real world, before the third-generation machine finds the opposite fourth-generation machine, it has already been destroyed by the opposite beyond-the-horizon missile.

Three generations of pilots will never know what happened until they die.

The confrontation between the J-10A and the Su-27 ended within half a day.

The J-10A won a complete victory, shooting down all thirty-six Su-27s at the cost of one-third of the loss.

"Old Su, what do you think of the result of such a battle? Did they release the water?"

Zhao Gang still said with some worry.

Although the battle damage ratio of 3:1 is not an exaggeration, is there really such a big gap between fighter jets with pilots of similar training quality?

Zhao Gang was not a professional pilot, so he had such doubts.

Su Shangwu frowned and said to Zhao Gang:

"They have performed exceptionally well. To be able to achieve such a battle loss ratio, the pilots of the Su-27 fighter formation are considered to have exceeded the normal level."

Su Shangwu has a deeper understanding of the gap between the two fighter jets.

Whether it is speed, maneuverability, or avionics system, J-10A surpasses Su-27 by a large margin.

The radar system should also be much more advanced, allowing the pilots of the J-10A to spot each other a lot earlier than the Su-27 pilots.

This makes hunting a lot easier.

The J-10A can often complete formation hunting more easily, and three J-10A surrounded a Su-27 to complete the hunt.

"By the way, do you want to arrange for the group of J-10S to fight against it?"

After getting a somewhat unexpected but reasonable answer, Zhao Gang remembered another thing.

"Old Su, what do you think?"

This matter has always been controversial among the exercise headquarters. After all, the performance of the J-10S is too heaven-defying.

Let those J-10A and Su-27, which can only be regarded as third-generation aircraft, confront this kind of guy who is infinitely close to the fourth-generation aircraft.

The truth is, driving a tractor wants to fight a tank.

And it was still 99A.

"I think it's necessary!"

Su Shangwu didn't care much about the performance gap between the two fighters.

On the contrary, he thinks it is necessary to let those arrogant soldiers realize the horror of the fourth-generation aircraft in advance.

The news he got from Chengfei is that the generation difference between the fourth-generation aircraft and the third-generation aircraft is far greater than the gap between the previous third-generation aircraft and the second-generation aircraft.

So that it is basically impossible for the third-generation machine to challenge the fourth-generation machine.

"Many people now feel that after changing their clothes, they can touch the fourth-generation machine."

Su Shangwu looked at the J-10A fighter jets descending continuously on the runway and said:

"Frustrating their spirit is also a good thing!"

After the completion of the large-scale team competition, the next four-person formation competition will begin.

Before starting, Zhao Gang specially held a meeting for them.

"I don't know if you know, the latest model of J-10."

The hundreds of pilots present have basically flown the J-10A, and they also know something about the latest improved J-10S.

After all, it has been rumored that starting next year, the J-10S will enter into service on a large scale.

They are also considered the most likely to be the first batch of people to fly on the J-10S.

"Know!"

In the venue, there were uniform voices.

"Hehe, I know that too."

Zhao Gang smiled and said:

"Many of you think that the J-10S is an improved version of the J-10A, how big is the difference?!"

"With my own skills, it is not impossible to find a way to take down the J-10S."

"Although we have always emphasized that some gaps in flight performance cannot be made up by technology."

"But many of you have been unwilling to believe it."

At this time, Zhao Gang clicked on the name of a person in the crowd:

"Little Hu, you've been dissatisfied, haven't you?"

Hu Jialiang is a first-class pilot who has flown thousands of hours and is familiar with all kinds of combat techniques and tactics.

"Yes, they are also J-ten, what's so great about them!"

Although he failed to drive the most advanced J-10S, Hu Jialiang also has his own pride.

He believes that with his own technology, even if there is a certain gap in the performance of the aircraft, the opponent may not be able to beat him.

"Under the situation of air combat, we still don't know who will win and who will lose!"

Faced with such haughty remarks, it hit Zhao Gang's arms:

"good!"

"Don't say our director department didn't give you a chance!"

"In the next four-person melee, the J-10 S will appear on the battlefield as a special target!"

"Whether you can shoot them down at that time depends on your ability!"

As soon as Zhao Gang finished speaking, the hall was filled with shock.

Although the discipline of the soldiers prevented them from making any noise, most of them reacted slightly.

"Of course, the weapons and equipment of the J-10S will not be reduced. They can use all weapons including over-the-horizon missiles."

Compared with the J-10A, the J-10S has a larger weapon carrying capacity. The J-10S uses a 3+3 weapon rack, while the J-10A uses a 2+2 rack.

"If you want to mount Thunderbolt 9D, you can."

"It's still the same sentence, this time we are all close to actual combat!"

"See the truth on the air battlefield!"

——

The four-aircraft formation competition came as scheduled.

Teams of fighter jets took off from several different airports.

The entire exercise range of hundreds of kilometers has become their battlefield.

Lei Gang was driving the J-10S and said in the communication channel:

"Don't give them a chance to fight at close range in the early stage, try to teach them a lesson with Thunderbolt 9D!"

As a pilot who has been flying the J-10 since the test flight, Lei Gang is very familiar with the performance of each model of the J-10.

In his view, if the J-10A wants to shoot down itself, it is only possible to find a way to complete the penetration and enter the range of short-range missiles.

The J-10S formation has already considered the issue of stealth performance. The four fighters are relatively scattered and not arranged very close together.

In this way, on the radar display, the target will be ignored because it is too small.

It doesn't help even if you turn up the scan accuracy, you'll just end up with a bunch of useless targets.

On the battlefield, there are now dozens of fighter formations looking for the J-10S.

At the beginning, everyone restrained themselves very much, not to have friction with the formation that was also J-10A.

But as time passed bit by bit, the J-10S didn't find out that its own fuel level was about to approach the red line.

Can't go on like this anymore!

This is the idea entrenched in Hu Jialiang's mind.

He didn't expect that the stealth performance of the J-10S would be so powerful. After searching for so long, everyone still couldn't find them.

If you can't get the result, then this match will be lost!

Before he could figure out a solution, a nearby fighter was suddenly judged to be disqualified for the exercise!

It turned out that some people couldn't bear it anymore and started attacking the surrounding J-10A.

An extremely tragic air battle suddenly broke out among dozens of J-10A formations.

Everyone is the elite of various aviation divisions, and they are very familiar with various tactics.

At this time, it is to compete with everyone who has more solid basic skills, who can withstand greater overload and complete maneuvers.

Lei Gang, who had been silently observing the situation on the edge of the battlefield, also found that they had started a scuffle.

This is a great time for them to fish in troubled waters!

Just now dozens of flying formations are looking for me, even if the performance of the J-10S is against the sky, it is impossible to pick so many people.

But it's different when they start fighting!

The J-10S in the Lei Gang formation began to look for their own targets, and then launched the Thunderbolt 9D missiles mounted under the wings.

Soon, a J-10A was judged by the director department as a failure of the exercise without knowing it.

Although these pilots are very unwilling, but the rules of the exercise are like this, if you lose, you lose, and you can only withdraw from the exercise with regret.

The time of the air battle was very fast. Of the dozens of formations of the J-10A, there were only less than ten formations left.

Moreover, most of the formations have suffered damage. If there are good ones, there can still be three fighters, barely forming a battle formation.

If the situation is not good, there will be a situation where there is only one plane left.

And most of the fighter jets have finished firing the last air-to-air missiles at this time.

It can be said that they have lost the ability to fight, but for the sake of honor, they still use the most primitive method to fight in the sky.

The J-10A driven by Hu Jialiang still has a Thunderbolt 9D missile, which he left specially for the J-10S.

Even in the most critical moment, he was useless.

At this time, the J-10S formation led by Lei Gang also finished shooting all the missiles.

Each J-10S has achieved at least four fighters.

The entire formation scored a score of 20:0.

Now it's time for the final duel with machine guns!

Lei Gang gave the order, and the entire formation began to enter the supersonic cruise state!

Four lovely sonic boom clouds burst out in succession in the sky.

Before that, Lei Gang had been saving fuel and not entering the supersonic cruise state, for the decisive battle at this moment.

The fuel consumption of the J-10S is much lower than that of the J-10A because of its lighter body.

At this time, according to Lei Gang's prediction, the J-10A is basically running out of gas.

Even if there is a little left, it is not enough to enter the supersonic state.

This is their biggest advantage now!

The supersonic J-10S roared through the sky, maneuvered to the rear of the J-10A, and then completed the kill.

At this time, Hu Jialiang also found that he seemed unable to escape the fate of being shot down.

Gritting his teeth, he controlled the fighter plane to perform a super overloaded maneuver, and the overload reached 9 Gs in an instant!

The terrifying pressure, even wearing an anti-G suit, caused a terrifying red vision to appear in front of Hu Jialiang's eyes.

The eyes were flushed, as if blood was about to gush out of the eye sockets!

But such a price is worth it.

At this time, Hu Jialiang had already arrived behind Lei Gang.

Although Lei Gang's J-10S entered supersonic cruise, it quickly escaped from Hu Jialiang's visual distance.

But the radar has remained in the locked state, and has not yet run out of the locked range.

The Thunderbolt 9D missile that Hu Jialiang has always kept has finally come in handy!

One shot into the soul!

Lei Gang became the first J-10S to be shot down in the confrontation, and also the last one!

The normal confrontation ended with the J-10S achieving a huge difference of 32:1.

This battle also made those pilots who thought that the J-10S was nothing more than that, realize the huge gap between the two.

But fortunately, Hu Jialiang still relied on his own strength to prove that it is still possible to shoot down the J-10A without fear of sacrifice.

Although the cost was almost irreversible damage to the body, the result was achieved after all.

In the end, Hu Jialiang, who was lying on the hospital bed, won the first golden helmet! ! !
