Chapter 668 Fighting Array Exercise
A province in northwest China, a comprehensive exercise field for land and air.
Rick changed his comfortable position in the cockpit, looked at the dark blue sky outside the cockpit, and carefully flew the fighter planes in the desert.
Rick thought about the last exercise. They carried supersonic anti-ship missiles, bypassed the escort fighter jets, entered a range of 200 kilometers, and launched a huge Eagle Strike-91 missile, completely "destroying" the opponent's aircraft carrier. The retired old ship used as a target ship was sunk by one. When the Eagle Strike-91, which was a ramjet engine, was launched from under the belly of the aircraft, the scene was really pleasing to the eye.
And this time, there is another new exercise, and they will play the role of invaders again, and at the same time, as always, abuse the Chinese colleagues.
According to the preset plot of the director department: the 16 fighter jets of the China Air Force, including 8 J10a and 8 J8d, will play the role of defenders to defend against the invading Chinese airspace by Rick, including 4 F14E, 4 F16, and 1 EF-14G Roaring Cat will fly with the invading fighter jets. The e-2 "Hawkeye" early warning aircraft and e-130h "Compass Call" electronic interference opportunity at altitude of 100 kilometers away provide electronic support and command and coordination for the invading fighter jets. The defenders include the "Sky Eye" early warning aircraft of the Yun-Eight Police and the Tu 154 electronic warfare aircraft in cooperation.
In the mutual cooperation with Pakistan, China has also benefited a lot, such as the airborne radar system. With Pakistan’s Tomcat fighter jets and F-16 fighter jets as references, the two sides work together, and with hard-working scientific and technological personnel like Bai Xue, they finally overcome the difficulties of pulse Doppler radars of flat-slit gap antennas.
As a multiplier of air combat forces, Huaxia did not give up its efforts to obtain early warning aircraft after the failure of the Air Police 1 project. First, based on the Y-8, it added a radar at the nose. The flagship product from the British e-fan company: a frequency agile long-range surveillance radar that uses pulse compression technology, which can carry out anti-submarine and anti-ships. This Y-8 improved aircraft is equipped with a navy and has become a maritime patrol aircraft, with the function of an early warning aircraft. Due to the lack of the ability to handle complex ground echoes, it can only be used at sea.
At the same time, China and Pakistan are continuing to technical cooperation. Since Pakistan already has an e-2 early warning aircraft, the focus is on overcoming the difficulties of large-scale strategic early warning aircraft, so the project is still steadily advancing. For China, which does not have an early warning aircraft, it can no longer wait. Based on its own strength, it has temporarily developed the early warning aircraft of the Yunba platform.
This is not the Air War 200 that later adopted the active phased array radar system, but the Pulse Doppler radar that needed to rotate. Now, this early warning aircraft is still under test and has begun to participate in various exercises.
The Tu154 electronic warfare aircraft is the same as in history. In history, in 1995, China improved two three-engine Tu-154m passenger aircraft into an electronic warfare air platform, adding multiple radomes, antennas and electronic warfare equipment. Now, time is ahead of schedule. In the competition with the Pakistan Air Force, we learned that electronic warfare played a crucial role in air combat. China began these explorations very early, and now it has been successfully modified. The Tu154 electronic warfare aircraft has been completely finalized and has entered the army service.
"Invaders, I am Azazler, I open the data link and receive the data sent by Hawkeye 1. It is not allowed to use pulse Doppler search mode, use the Oeps photodetection device to search the enemy, and keep the radio silent for the time being from now on." Rick used the internal flight channel to issue orders to the other seven fighters.
After taking off from the airport, the "Invaders" brigade led by Rick did not activate the radar carried by the fighter, but remained silent. The fighter's external detection changed to relying on a passive photoelectric detection system and slowly entered the exercise area.
(ps: Let me complain, after the Air Force equipped the Su 27sk, it almost regarded the transparent shell hemisphere of the aircraft head as a magic object, surrounding the Oeps photoelectric detection system of Damao. The two countries continued to have secret wars, until a few years after the new century, Huaxia was still fighting with Damao for the introduction of the latest model of the Oeps system. The U.S. Imperial Sea Air Force has been equipped with this thing for more than ten years. The early F14-a+ had already used the An/arl-1 optical TV system with a detection distance of 97 kilometers, and the F14d had used the An/arl-1 optical TV system with a detection distance of more than 110 kilometers! It was just that the Americans regarded this thing as an ordinary avionics upgrade, and it was not as popular as Damao.)
Mhamad introduced the F14 Tomcat fighter through various means, which made China now come into contact with the fighter's passive detection system at least ten years in advance.
As early as a series of subsequent upgrade plans for Tomcat fighter jets, the Aim-54 "Immortal Bird" missile provided to Pakistan by the US can obtain data on the scheduled battlefield in advance through the Alr-infrared detection system combined with the AG-9 or An/APG-71 radar linkage search. However, Pakistan handed over the Oeps photoelectric detection system samples and technical data of the MiG29 and Su-27 seized from the Afghan War and the India-Pakistan War (that is the transparent shell hemisphere on the head of the Su-27 and MiG29 aircraft) to China United crack.
Developed and shared technical achievements. Therefore, combined with the United States, Mao Xiong's infrared detection technology and target identification optical TV technology were integrated. A fighter's photoelectric detection system that is ahead of the world level and the combined helmet display TK-2m used in conjunction with 10 years of "sharpening a sword", it was finally listed as the standard equipment of China and Pakistani fighter jets. In combination with the r-73m "Super Archer" (Huaxia imitation model pl-13) short-range infrared attack missile obtained through special channels has become the "trump card" in the hands of the air force of the two countries!
Ten minutes later.
"Asazel, the defenders have taken off from the airport and are expected to arrive at the exercise area in three minutes. Be ready." Hawkeye 1 broke the radio silence and issued an instruction.
"Received, the invaders flew into an ultra-low altitude, calling the compass for electronic support, blocking our electronic signals. Follow us on." Rick issued an orderly order.
Electric Cat 1 is the Roaring Cat, which is also a weapon of the Pakistan Air Force. Moreover, the maneuverability of this thing is similar to that of the prototype Tomcat, and it can be fully equipped with random groups to fight.
4 new tomcats, 4 falcons and 1 electronic cat carefully flew slowly over the desert at a low altitude of 150 meters at a speed of 400 kilometers per hour. Five tomcat fighters pulled the deformed wings to a minimum sweep angle of 20° like peacocks, waiting for the arrival of the "Defender".
Major Li Lu was driving the J10A, looking at the seven wingmen around him happily in the bubble-like glass cockpit, and eight J8Ds flying at high altitudes. In the rear 200 kilometers away, the "Sky Eye" early warning aircraft of the Eight Police "Sky Eye" reported the air situation, and no invaders were found in the current airspace. A specially modified Tu154 electronic fighter also reported that there was no hostile radar beam irradiation aircraft group.
Although the Yun-Eighth Police can already monitor targets on land and separate targets in complex echoes, due to the data processing capabilities, it is still impossible to effectively detect fighter jets flying from a distance in complex terrain processing. This is also a disadvantage of the Yun-Eighth Police. If you want to change, you can only develop new early warning aircraft on a larger body platform and equip more electronic equipment. Huaxia has chosen the Il-76 and wants to modify it on this basis.
Why haven’t Lao Ba’s pilot arrived yet? It seems that the director’s department will report it wrong? But it is almost the case every time. Although the plan was set up before the exercise, the Pakistani pilots did not practice according to the plan every time, which would break the rules and cause the Chinese Air Force to be abused.
Azazel, you are the one who leads the team, right? We still have a calculation that needs to be calculated carefully! Li Lu thought to himself, but he dare not be careless.
Most of the Pakistani pilots flying Tomcat fighter jets are ace pilots who have experienced wars and often slaughter the Chinese "rookies" in the "fighting formation" exercise field. The Pakistani pilot nicknamed "Asazle" is the most fierce. Many Chinese pilots mentioned that he would take a breath, "The King of Hell is here", and then his morale was bleak, and then he was defeated.
The full "blood and tears" made the Huaxiahai Air Force cry without tears. When someone planned to suggest to the Supreme Command of China to cancel the "fighting formation" exercise field and save face, the firm "reformist" of the Air Force, General Wang Hai, went directly into a "rass state", scolding his subordinates for their incompetence and laziness, and believed that the vegetable pigeons still needed to continue to increase the intensity and intensity of training subjects close to actual combat. Therefore, the most painful period for the rookies came... Li Lu was also miserable at that time, and he made a decision in his heart to give the Pakistani pilot nicknamed "Asazle" a good look, avenge himself and the seniors who fell in his hands!
The lessons of the predecessors and their cautious habits made Li Lu still ask the "Sky Eye" behind to continuously monitor the suspicious airspace, and the map 154 is on standby to provide electronic interference support at any time, and the four J8Ds left protection early warning aircraft and electronic warfare aircraft.
