Volume 3 East China Sea Storm Chapter 87 Chopping melons and vegetables
Failed to attack, but was plotted against
As soon as the battle started, the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force was in chaos and completely lost the rules.
Loss 2 tactical transport aircraft is nothing. The 154 commando on the plane belongs to the Ground Self-Defense Force and has nothing to do with the Air Self-Defense Force. What really makes the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force "hard" is the 3 early warning aircraft, especially the e-767 early warning aircraft!
This is the only remaining air self-defense aircraft in Japan [767]
Compared with the e-2d purchased from the United States, the e-767 has stronger detection and early warning capabilities, and is still a large early warning aircraft with air command capabilities. Its performance is above the U.S. Air Force's e-3d.
Japan spent $2 billion to make up for the shortcomings of 4e-767
As a carrier-based early warning aircraft, the e-2 column effectively compensates for the aircraft carrier battle group's lack of long-range early warning capabilities, but is limited by many insurmountable defects such as weight, space, and flight performance. In combat use, the US Navy's e-2 series is only responsible for long-range early warning, and the combat command is borne by the fleet air defense center. Although the e-2d has been greatly improved compared with the previous generation of e-2c, enhanced detection capabilities, and added tactical data links. However, there has not been much improvement on fundamental issues. It cannot command dozens of fighter aircraft like large early warning aircraft.
420, two e-2ds from the Air Self-Defense Force took off from Kadena Air Force Base
It was only taken off at this time and it was too late to arrive at the battlefield
430. The 2"KJV 2000 hovering over the Nanshan Islands and Yushan Islands detected the Japanese fleet that had just entered the East China Sea and rushed to the East China Sea fleet, and then the battle alarm sounded.
Six fighter squadrons patrolling over the East China Sea responded to the sound and rushed towards the Japanese aircraft group from the west and south.
At this time, 2e-2d is still climbing to a height of 7500 at a very slow speed
432 rushed to the front and 12j-10b first encountered the Japanese aircraft group
"Electronic equipment inspection completed"
"Start the fire control radar" Liang Guoxiang quickly pressed several buttons under the monitor
"The target distance 110 is found to be 24 altitude 5500 speed c fire control computer judged it as f-15
"Assign attack targets" Liang Guoxiang quickly glanced at the weapon ammunition information on the screen on the right. "No. 2, 3 Be careful to receive attack information and cross-lock the target in the order of normal combat"
Di Boqing assigned attack targets to the two wingmen at the fastest speed
According to the arrangement of the long aircraft, 3 fighters deal with 6 enemy aircraft. Each fighter launches 4 interceptor missiles and attacks 4 enemy aircraft respectively to ensure that each enemy aircraft is attacked by 2 missiles from 2 fighters. In this way, even if an unexpected situation occurs, such as a problem with the fire control system of a fighter, or a fighter aircraft is shot down, it can ensure that all 6 enemy aircraft are attacked.
"Target allocation is completed, radar locks the target, distance is 85, and can open fire at any time"
Hearing his partner's words, Liang Guoxiang quickly connected to the power supply of the fire control switch and said, "No. 2, 3, please pay attention to the target, and follow the long machine to fire."
"2 Lock the target"
"3 Lock the target"
"Preparation..." Liang Guoxiang took a deep breath, pressed the launch switch and said, "Let's fire!"
3j-10b each launched 4"Pili 14 missiles at a frequency of one second apart, and nine fighter jets from three teams also launched interceptor missiles one after another.
"Turn right at full speed and follow long-range action"
After launching the missile, Liang Guoxiang immediately chose to avoid Di Boqing, who was sitting in the back row, staring at the electromagnetic signal data displayed on the electronic warfare screen, while calculating the time when the missile entered the final attack.
In addition, 9 fighter jets from the three teams also chose to turn around after launching the missiles.
Although the early warning aircraft of the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force was killed, the maximum detection distance of the fire control radar of the F-15 fighter jets for medium-sized fighters such as J-10b exceeds 220 kilometers.:= 140,160 kilometers are too "harsh" to rush between 140,160 kilometers, and there is no time to adjust the attack direction when encountering it, so the j-10b aircraft group failed to avoid the search range of the F-15 reaching
When using conventional tactics, j-10b can only place hope on interceptor missiles with better performance
The maximum facing attack distance of the "Pili 14" medium-range air-to-air missile reaches 120 kilometers, and the maximum tail-chasing attack distance is 65 kilometers. Among the several medium-range air-to-air missiles used in the F-15, the most outstanding performance Aim-120c has a maximum facing attack distance of only 80 meters and a maximum tail-chasing attack distance of 45 kilometers.
Don't underestimate this little difference, because it not only determines the initiative and passiveness, but also determines the life and death of both parties.
After launching the missiles at 85 kilometers, Liang Guoxiang not only grasped the initiative, but also forced the Japanese pilots into a desperate situation. When it was the turn of Japanese fighter jets to launch missiles, the combat situation changed from facing to tail chase. Japanese pilots must accelerate their advancement and shorten the combat distance within 45 meters. The "Pili 14" missile will enter the autonomous attack stage before this, so accelerating advance can only speed up the speed of Japanese pilots' death. If Japanese pilots turn to escape, they will not only lose the opportunity to attack the J-10b aircraft fleet and fall into a passive attack fleet, but also expose the attack aircraft fleet following behind to the front, disrupting the tactical arrangements of the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force
"Brother Liang, Japanese fighter jets did not turn to avoid"
"That's great, it saves us a lot of missiles!"
"Damn it, are all the outstanding Japanese pilots finished? A group of rookies are sent here?"
"Rookies are also birds, it's our turn to harvest."
Di Boqing guessed correctly, at this time, it was indeed a group of "rookies" who fought with them.
In the first round of conflict, the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force suffered more losses than the Chinese Air Force and Navy Air Force combined. They were killed, missing and captured pilots, 115 were injured and disabled, and the other four were mentally broken for 14 hours. In two large-scale air battles, the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force lost nearly half of the fighter pilots.
Japan not only managed to obtain a batch of fighter jets from the United States, but also recruited reserve fighter pilots
Among the 24 Japanese pilots of the 24 F-15c fighter jets that Liang Guoxiang encountered, 17 were from the reserve force, 5 were from other airlines, and only 2 people participated in the first round of conflict. Although the "new and old ratio" of pilots was similar to the j-10b fleet led by Liang Guoxiang, the experience and ability of the two leaders were definitely not as good as Liang Guoxiang and Zhu Ronghui.
What's worse is that when the United States provided the F-15c to Japan, it removed the "top secret" tactical data link
When the j-10b aircraft group started the fire control radar and used the tracking lock mode to provide fire control information for the missile, only two team leaders realized the danger.
If the Japanese aircraft group turns at this time, it may still be safe.
The problem is that the F-15c without tactical data link can only exchange information through the radio, and the command and control ability of the chief machine to the wingman is greatly weakened.
For air battles that calculate time in seconds or even milliseconds, the time to talk a few words is enough to determine the outcome.
"Brother Liang, we're at the steering point." Di Boqing said while switching the radar working mode. "All aircraft are careful and ready to lock the target again, firepower guidance mode."
“Follow the long-distance steering and let’s complete the last step!”
12 j-10bs complete steering at the fastest speed
After the nose redirected to the Japanese fighter jet, 12 J-10b fire control radars illuminated 24 F-15cs in "fire power guidance mode" respectively.
The electromagnetic wave with a special signal hits a Japanese fighter at the speed of light, and then reflects back. It is intercepted by the seeker of the "Pili 14" missile that is approaching the Japanese fighter. It activates the missile's control system. The active radar on the missile immediately starts working. After searching for targets that meet the characteristics information, it immediately changes to the tracking lock mode, guiding the missile into the final sprint stage.
The j-10b crew did not turn anymore, but rushed towards the Japanese crew
Japanese fighters will definitely fight to the death at the last moment, setting the aim-120 bomb to inertia + active radar attack mode, and then launching the missile at the fastest speed
Sure enough, the radar alarm aircraft rang less than 15 after the j-10b group turned.
"Brother Liang, radar alarm"
"Heard"
"10 seconds have arrived, Japanese fighter jets must have launched missiles."
"Keep paying attention to enemy aircraft formations"
"The enemy plane formations were scattered... The first enemy plane was hit by a missile... The second..."
"All aircraft are careful and follow the long aircraft to accelerate forward!" Liang Guoxiang was not excited at all, because the battle had just begun
12 j-10bs open the afterburner chamber at the same time, break through the sound barrier in the dull sonic boom, and approach the Japanese aircraft group at a faster speed
When the aim-120 adopts the inertia + active radar attack mode, the pilot must set the time when the missile enters the autonomous attack stage in advance. It can be said that this is the least efficient attack mode. If the target's heading, speed, altitude and other states change, the missile will lose. In order to make up for this defect, the American designers have added a performance to the aim-120, that is, after the carrier launches the missile, the time when the missile enters the autonomous attack stage with radio commands. The missile's attack method becomes inertia + radio commands + active radar.
After the Japanese aircraft group was broken up by missiles, let alone guided missiles, I'm afraid I can't even figure out where the J-10b aircraft group is.
"Brother Liang, 17 enemy planes were shot down, and the missiles we fired were shot down 2"
"Heard it" Liang Guoxiang smiled slightly, "Annihilation of the remaining enemies in squad mode, Lao Zhu, how many have you killed?"
“Not many, only 3”
"Damn it!" Di Boqing cursed in a low voice.
"Each team is scattering attacks, don't let a Japanese man run away!" Liang Guoxiang, who was still calm at first, suddenly became excited and excited.
"Brother Liang, Lao Zhu has five results, we can't be lenient"
"Focus on the screen and don't let the Japanese slip away!"
Because of the night war, the sensors and detectors on the fighter must be used to detect nearby enemy aircraft. The pilot's naked eye will not play much role
The 1210b of the 4 teams were divided into two groups to chase the Japanese fighter planes that fled in all directions.
For Liang Guoxiang, this is a battle with little suspense. At this time, the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force may not be as good as the Indian Air Force a year ago. At least Su-30mki's excellent fighting and air combat ability can allow Liang Guoxiang, who is driving J-10b, to use all his solutions. The old f-15c is not the opponent of J-10b at all!
damn it*
The fierce air battle has begun, and the time has come to get the results. The monthly ticket is on! (To be continued,)
