Chapter 148: Repair It Well
"The tracking interference is complete, and their communication should have been interrupted. What should we do next?"
In the cockpit of J-10D, Yu Linan calmly reported the situation to the ground.
In fact, encountering such an unexpected situation during the test really caught him off guard, especially, what they caught this time was actually a big fish!
EC-130H, the world's largest, most advanced, and most complex electronic warfare aircraft.
It is not just a supplement to the EA-6B, it is a unique aerial electronic warfare platform with great potential for transformation.
In the case of escorted by fighter jets, it is almost invincible for some effective air defense systems.
The only drawback is that it is too big and flies too slowly.
If it is possible to capture this plane as well.
It doesn't seem to work.
The current position of the two sides is in the sky above the high seas. It is a bit too rogue to force the other side to land at the slightest disagreement.
Not only will the United States not give up easily, even international public opinion will not accept it.
After all, no one wants their country's planes to be able to hover in the airspace in the future and be ambushed when they go out.
That's no different than going to war.
It seems that they were lucky this time.
At this moment, a reply from the tower on the ground came from the headset.
"Turn off the radar jamming, keep the electromagnetic jamming, and leave after they turn back."
"Be careful to keep a distance. After the communication is lost, they should have escort fighters to take off. Don't conflict with them."
"clear."
Yu Lin'an opened his mouth to answer, and then he gradually turned off some functions of the J-10D jamming pod, and began to increase the altitude, preparing to disengage.
But at this moment, he suddenly discovered that the height of the EC-130H on the opposite side suddenly began to drop rapidly.
"Osprey, what's the situation? Their flight status is not normal."
Yu Lin'an asked the wingman.
"Dolphin, I'm not sure. I can already see the opponent's plane, but from the appearance, the opponent's plane is normal."
"The engine is working normally, and there is no damage to the body. Maybe you want to get rid of interference at low altitude?"
"It shouldn't be, isn't our radar jamming turned off?"
Yu Linan asked suspiciously.
"It is confirmed that it is closed, do you want to ask the public channel?"
"Forget it, wait a minute, maybe it's just a normal decline."
"Got it, keep tracking. It's best not to have a problem with the engine, they can't fly back at this distance."
While speaking, the two J-10 Kai accelerated at the same time, quickly closing the distance to the EC-130H.
At the same time, the cockpit of EC-130H has fallen into chaos.
"What's going on? Are we surrounded?"
"Where's the plane? Where's their plane?"
"Why did the flying squadron just disappear? Is it radar interference? Are those planes real?"
"I don't know, the radio altitude data is distorted, but the barometric altitude data is normal. It should be radar interference."
"Fuck, we're going down so fast, pull up, pull up!"
Ryan issued instructions impatiently, and all the crew members were in a hurry to operate. Finally, when the altitude dropped to only 1,000 meters, the state of the plane finally stabilized.
He let out a long sigh of relief and almost slumped on the seat.
The scene just now really frightened him.
Inexplicably, more than a dozen flying units appeared on the radar VSD, and all of them were within 20 kilometers of their own distance.
At high speed cruising, such a distance can be covered in the blink of an eye.
At first he thought it was a cruise missile, but after re-watching the radar screen, he quickly ruled it out.
Then, it's the plane.
But if it was really a plane, then the other party was obviously coming for him. Once he fell into their encirclement, the situation would definitely not be optimistic.
So, he didn't have time to think about it, and immediately issued an emergency descent order, but at this moment, all the flying units on the radar screen disappeared.
Only then did he realize that it wasn't an airplane at all, it was just an abnormal echo after the radar signal was interfered.
In other words, there is nothing there, they just scare themselves.
Since when did you become so timid?
Looking at the two targets clearly displayed on the VSD, he felt both ridiculous and helpless.
There is no doubt that this time my luck is really bad, unexpectedly in such a mission, I bumped into the opponent's electronic jamming fighter so coincidentally.
Moreover, the opponent's strength in electronic warfare is obviously much stronger than his own EC-130H.
Even, the other party can use the tracking interference mode to directly block their own frequency hopping communication!
Such means, even in their own country, are only in the stage of small-scale experiments.
How did they do that?
Obviously, a few months ago, they did not have the ability to interfere electronically.
But in the past few months, they were able to completely suppress themselves.
Is it really because of those EA-6Bs?
But even if they do get the jamming pod, it will take time to absorb the application
At this moment, he finally realized how terrifying his opponent was.
"Check the heading and prepare to return. Has the communication been restored?"
Ren asked.
"The course is wrong, it is being corrected, and it will return immediately."
"The communication has not been restored. I am increasing the range of the frequency hopping communication channel, but it seems to be useless. The other party's tracking is very agile, and we cannot escape."
Hawke on the opposite side replied helplessly.
This was the first time he had encountered such powerful electromagnetic interference. Before that, even in his own internal confrontation drills, he had never been so embarrassed.
"Shit, if I knew we should have FA-18 escort, I knew this mission would not go well"
"Stop complaining so much, increase the height, and get out quickly."
"They have no intention of keeping us, it should be just a warning"
Hearing what Ryan said, Hawke immediately pulled the joystick, and then the EC-130H dragged its huge body and began to rise slowly.
But at this moment, a huge impact sound suddenly entered the cabin, and then the entire fuselage began to shake violently!
"what's the situation?!"
The alarm lights in the cabin flickered wildly, and Ren looked around frantically, trying to understand what was happening now.
Got hit by a missile?
What a joke, the other party didn't turn on the fire control radar at all!
"The engine is damaged! The propeller of the second right engine is broken! The two engines on the right are scrapped!"
Cold sweat broke out on Hawk's head, which was definitely the last thing he wanted to see.
He had doubted the safety of the engine of this plane for a long time. After all, accidents of this type of plane had happened more than once or twice.
In just one year, to his knowledge, three C-130s were grounded due to propeller problems.
But luckily, their problems were all found on the ground.
But now, I am in heaven!
Before taking off, he raised the issue of the propeller oil leak with the ground crew.
But the ground staff didn't care at all, and instead told him that it was just a normal phenomenon.
What are you kidding, is this normal?
You know, the propeller of this plane was made 30 years ago!
After decades of high-intensity flying, its components have long been overwhelmed, and he even suspects that the internal components have cracked.
Well now, no more doubts.
Not only did something really happen to the propeller, it even directly destroyed two engines!
If the flight control was not still running, the plane should have started to stall and fall by now.
"The speed is decreasing, stabilize the fuselage and start diving!"
"We're not tall enough!"
"Whether it's enough or not, you have to try it! Contact the control tower!"
"Can't get in touch, the other party hasn't interrupted the interference yet."
A look of despair appeared on Ren's face. At this moment, he wished he had never been here.
Not far away, in the cockpit of J-10D, Yu Lin'an watched the whole process of EC-130H's accident in astonishment.
"Damn it. Old Wang, have you opened your mouth? You said the engine exploded, and his engine exploded?"
"Quickly pull it down, stop the interference first, and let them contact the tower. We have to follow up. I feel that this plane may not be saved. If it crashes, we need to mark the last crash site for them, so as not to even pick up the body. not coming back"
"Understood, the electronic pod is turned off. Osprey, try to contact the other party through the public channel."
"receive."
Wang Yungang opened the public channel and started calling in English, which is not very proficient.
"This is the Huaxia Air Force. We noticed that your plane is malfunctioning. Do you need help? Do you need help?"
"This is Huaxia Air Force"
There was no reply on the radio, but the EC-130H crew did hear the call.
It's just that they don't have time to reply.
The altitude is decreasing rapidly, and the two engines on both sides have lost power, making it extremely difficult to control the entire aircraft.
Hawke desperately pulled the joystick, still cursing in his heart.
need help? !
You stop following us, that is the greatest help!
If it wasn't for you guys to interfere with us inexplicably, would we use this propeller plane to make such dangerous maneuvers?
If it is not high-intensity maneuvering, will our propeller break?
It would have survived at least until the next flight, although the crew would not change, but at least it would not be at sea.
The red light on the instrument panel in front of him was flashing, and the altitude of EC-130H had dropped below 1000 meters.
But the good news is that the rate of decline is starting to stabilize.
It might not be too difficult to get the plane back in level flight, given them some more time.
"Tower, Tower, PAN-PAN!"
"This is the air compass. We encountered a double stop on the right. The position is. The altitude is."
"Please prepare for rescue immediately, our situation is very bad!"
As soon as the radio communication was restored, Ren immediately contacted the ground tower, but the other party's reaction made him angry.
"Aerial compass, please explain why your radio lost contact!"
"Radio lost?! Is this weird? We've got electromagnetic interference!"
"God, clear the runway, I need an emergency landing!"
"Radio interference? How is this possible? You are using the latest frequency-hopping communication equipment"
"It's tracking jamming! We're about to crash!"
".Report your position and I'll clear the runway for you."
"I've already reported it once!"
Ren yelled angrily, but before he could continue to attack, Hawk on the side spoke again:
"The fuel is dropping fast, the mailbox is damaged, we have to land as soon as possible!"
"Flying like this, just a little spark will cause an explosion, we can't go back!"
Ren quickly turned his gaze to the flight instruments, and at a glance, his heart began to fall unstoppably, just like the plane.
It's over this time.
Less than 40% oil left and it keeps dropping
Can not go back.
He raised his head in despair, and on the radar panel, the two Huaxia fighters were still closely following.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
Is it really not possible to drop to them?
Hope was rekindled in Ren's eyes.
"Tower, we have a serious oil leak, and we can't fly back."
"Please coordinate with Huaxia immediately, we will make an emergency landing at their airport!"
After finishing speaking, Ren immediately connected to the public channel, and then called:
"We need help, we need help!"
"The airframe is seriously damaged, we need to make an emergency landing, please conduct route guidance and request to land!"
An hour later, the EC-130H approached the airport runway unsteadily.
The runway seemed a little too narrow and too short for its massive body.
But it had no choice but to bite the bullet and descend.
Fortunately, the airport ground crew had cleared all the runways ahead of time to make room for it.
Under Hawke's proven technique, the plane finally hit the runway hard.
——
The entire belly was badly damaged, but at least it came down.
In the cockpit, Ren sat limply, and his heart could be said to be full of mixed feelings.
Part of it is rejoicing, rejoicing that I survived.
Part of it is resentment, resentment for the indifferent attitude and slow tortoise-like reaction speed of the gentlemen at the Kadena base.
And the last part is fear.
No, of course not the fear of the Huaxia people.
Because he clearly knew that the other party would never embarrass himself.
At most, they will dismantle the plane and repair it. During their stay at the airport, they will definitely receive good care.
But the question is, after going back?
In just a few months, the United States made an emergency landing at the opponent's airport again. What kind of signal does this show?
They will definitely settle the score on their own heads, and maybe they will be forced to go to court-martial.
Thinking of this, Ren sighed heavily.
FXCK!
What a shame!
He wanted to escape, he didn't want to get out of the plane, but he also knew that the end was inevitable
The fire engine was already approaching and the gangway was set up. Ren stood up, glanced at the crew members, and walked to the cockpit door with a solemn expression.
He then opened the cockpit door from the inside.
What came into view was a smiling face.
Looking at that face, Ren almost had a heart attack.
The other party stretched out his hand to him, and kept looking at the interior of the cockpit.
"Sir, visitors are not allowed here."
Ren said dissatisfied.
The man on the opposite side withdrew his gaze, the smile on his face unchanged.
Then he said in standard English:
"Yes, yes, no visits allowed."
"However... your engines are all broken, this needs to be repaired."
