Yes, it seems that the gap is huge.

In modern air combat, quantity is not the decisive factor for victory. Even if the single hit rate of medium and long-range air-to-air missiles is only 85%, according to the calculation that one fighter carries 6 medium and long-range air-to-air missiles, it can attack 6 air targets at the same time and shoot down 5 of them. If the air-to-fight exchange ratio reaches 1 to 5, quantity is not an advantage, but a disadvantage.

After fighting with the US military several times, Liang Guoxiang was very aware of the opponent's ability.

The performance of the aim-120e is not bad. The single shot hit rate in ideal state exceeds 95%, and it can reach 80% even in complex confrontations. Compared with the SD-166, the aim-120e has two obvious defects: one is the short range and the other is the slow speed. In the case of head-on attack, in order to prevent enemy aircraft from turning and accelerating escape, the combat distance should be shortened to within 60 kilometers, rather than the nominal 120 kilometers.

In the previous several air battles, Liang Guoxiang made full use of the enemy's "flaws".

No matter what attack position it is or how the enemy aircraft evades, as long as the combat distance is within 8 kilometers, the SD-16 can catch up with the enemy aircraft and prevent the enemy aircraft from escaping.

The 20-kilometer gap gives j-14b the initiative in confronting f-22.

"Brother Liang, the enemy plane must have launched missiles!"

"A group of rookies, what are you worried about?" Liang Guoxiang quickly glanced at the main screen in the center, turned off the active electromagnetic interference device, and activated the fire control radar. "Please pay attention to the formation, turn off the interference device, start the fire control radar, and lock the targets according to the attack instructions assigned by the long aircraft."

11 j-14bs have successively turned off the active electromagnetic interference device and activated the fire control radar.

The active electromagnetic interference device offsets the f-22's advantage in fire-control radar performance. It greatly changes the strength comparison between the two parties involved. However, the United States is not without effective means of confrontation.

After the Fourth India-Pakistan War, the United States began to develop a "full-band electromagnetic stealth equipment". During the East China Sea War, the Republic's Air Force's J-14 (prototype aircraft) made its debut. It continuously killed several early warning aircraft of the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force without any warning. The United States tried every means to get the shape of the J-14 and basically mastered the stealth performance of the J-14. Through computer simulation analysis, the US intelligence agency concluded that the "pure stealth" capability of the J-14 is not as good as the F-22a. It is impossible to approach the e-767 silently. Therefore, the United States concluded that the Republic had developed an advanced "full-band electromagnetic stealth equipment" with advanced performance. Then, on the one hand, the United States concentrated its efforts to collect relevant intelligence and figured out the specific performance of the "full-band electromagnetic stealth equipment". On the other hand, it invested a lot of money to develop confrontational means and detection methods.

Although the United States failed to obtain an "active electromagnetic interference device", it has mastered the basic principles through analysis.

The most effective means of confrontation is to develop similar "interference devices". Because the United States has not developed high-performance composite batteries, the performance of the "full-band electromagnetic stealth equipment" developed by the United States for the F-22 and F-series fighter jets is far inferior to similar products from the Republic.

The most effective detection method is the photoelectric detection system. Because the "active electromagnetic interference device" can only interfere with electromagnetic waves in the radio frequency band and cannot interfere with electromagnetic waves in the ground in the visible band (visible light, infrared and ultraviolet rays are both electromagnetic waves). Therefore, the photoelectric detection device can still find "active electromagnetic interference device" to protect the ground and air targets.

In early 202, the United States developed a photoelectric detection system that can discover fighter planes 1 meter away.

According to the plan, after completing the finalization test, the US Air Force will gradually equip the F-22 with this advanced detection equipment code-named Aln-92 starting from 2025.

The sudden outbreak of the Peninsula War disrupted the US Air Force's equipment plan.

Several air battles after the Republic's Air Force participated in the war proved that "active electromagnetic interference device" can not only deal with the detection radar of early warning aircraft, but also against the ground fire-controlled radar of fighter aircraft. If enemy aircraft cannot be discovered, it will not be able to attack the enemy aircraft, and it will be even more impossible to shoot down the enemy aircraft. The cruel facts made the US military realize that the F-22 lacks an effective detection method.

In order to reverse the passive situation, the US Air Force urgently ordered a batch of Aln-92s and gave priority to equip the chief aircraft of each squadron.

Using the advanced tactical data link system, one f-22a equipped with an aln-92 photoelectric detection system can share tactical information with seven other fighters and guide seven f-22a to perform air combat missions. Because it is equipped with new equipment, the f-22 equipped with an aln-92 is called the f-22blockk|| type.

Practical combat proves that the aln-92 photoelectric detection system can indeed discover j-1 fighter jets!

Sadly, the US Air Force lost a large number of outstanding pilots, and the "rookie" was unable to deliver the performance of the Aln-92.

Liang Guoxiang stared at the distance and altitude data of the enemy planes on the screen, and completed the preparations for launching the missile in an orderly manner.

When the distance data became "80", Liang Guoxiang pressed the missile launch button as fast as possible.

Through tactical data links, the signal of the long-distance missile launching was transmitted to 11 j-14bs in the formation like lightning.

"Switch and accelerate escape!" Liang Guoxiang pressed quickly

The rod pushes the throttle to the maximum position, "follow the long maneuver and rush."

12j-14b completed the steering during dive, and the speed not only did not increase, but began to slow down.

The fighter vibrates violently because the maximum low-altitude speed of j-11 can only reach 1 Hz. No matter how fast it is, it is very likely that the body will disintegrate due to excessive resistance.

80 kilometers away, the F-22 fleet that had just arrived over the Deji Islands also accelerated its steering.

Both sides were attacked by missiles, and before the second fight, they had to try to avoid the missiles launched by the other side.

The flight altitude of the j-14b fleet quickly dropped below 50 meters, and "avoided" northward at a speed of 1 Hz.

Liang Guoxiang concentrated all his energy to control the fighter jets that were like wild horses. Di Boqing observed the situation in the sky behind the aircraft group, and paid attention to the signals sent by the missile warning aircraft.

When the missile alarm plane rang, Di Boqing shouted loudly: "Brother Liang..."

"Heard!" Liang Guoxiang quickly pulled up the joystick, "release the bait bomb, activate the active electromagnetic interference device, and the formation follows the long-range climb!"

When j-14b, number c0101011, jumped up from the sea, dropped the first bait bomb. The three team leaders and 2 "Old Birds" reacted as fast as possible and climbed with Liang Guoxiang. The other six "rookies" failed to react at the fastest speed. Although they were only a few seconds slower, the ending was completely different.

The j-14b fighter is rising into altitude at a speed of more than 580 meters per second.

In the air about 2,500 meters south, dozens of Aim-120e missiles that are diving are still diving.

The 20 kilometers of ground distance, the missile with a relative speed of Mach 27 with the fighter jet can fly in only about 23 seconds. During this period, the fighter jet can climb about 7,000 meters, and whether the missile can climb to a height of 7,000 meters is a question. The main reason is that the fuel consumption during climbing is very large, and the aim120e is close to the maximum range when entering the last stage of autonomous attack. If the fuel on the missile can be exhausted before the missile catches up, it can successfully avoid the missile!

When the fighter plane climbed to about 000 meters, a batch of missiles suddenly broke out of the "cluster" and turned toward the fighter plane.

Obviously, the US military pilots are not fools, at least some aiim-120e work in infrared passive land search, rather than attacking targets with radar active search.

"Infrared jamming bomb is ready... Launch!" Under the huge overload, Liang Guoxiang issued a new order.

The six j-14bs flying in the front dropped infrared jamming bombs at an altitude of about meters. At this time, the aim-1120e was only 8,000 meters away from the j-14b fleet. The six j-14bs following behind were still a little slower, and they were about 5 late to drop infrared jamming bombs. As a result, it can be imagined that nearly 20 aim-120e affected by infrared jamming bombs "give up" the first six targets and turned to attack the six targets behind.

Liang Guoxiang's position was the first to rush into the clouds and also the first to rush out of the clouds.

Without cloud cover, the sky was exposed in front of the pilot. Liang Guoxiang was not in the slightest mood to enjoy such a beautiful scenery. No one can guarantee that the aim-120e behind his butt did not catch up, because the nominal attack height of the aim-1120e reached 25,000 meters, and the attack height difference was 1 meter.

"Brother Liang, the crew is following."

"How many?" Liang Guoxiang admired Di Boqing very much, because when climbing at full speed, the overload exceeds 7g, and the huge overload pressure can make breathing very difficult, let alone talk.

"One, two...five, five, only five." Di Boqing paused for a moment, "We got rid of the missiles, and the missiles did not rush out of the clouds."

Liang Guoxiang retracted the accelerator and pressed down the joystick. "All machines report on the situation."

"Captain Liang, I am Luo Jingpeng, right behind you."

"I'm Wen Xiao, left back."

...

When Liang Guoxiang heard the five pilots report the situation one by one, he gritted his teeth.

All those who followed were veteran pilots, and all the six "rookies" who had just been assigned to the C011th brigade did not appear!

"Brother Liang, Situ Rui launched an attack!"

"The height is 5500, go below the clouds." Liang Guoxiang breathed a sigh of relief, "Two-aircraft formations, free combinations, looking for enemy aircraft to fight to the decisive battle!"

In fact, the US military aircraft and fleets were even more miserable.

Only 16 of the 36 F-22a were attacked successfully escaped after releasing bait bombs continuously. Another 20 "rookies" f-22s were shot down.

When Liang Guoxiang led the 1st squadron to evade missile attacks, the 2nd squadron led by Situ Rui launched an attack from the flank.

The 16 F-22s escaped by luck and had no time to avoid it. At least 12 were hit by the SD-166. Although they successfully avoided the missiles, they were disbanded and could only return to the Japanese Air Force Base.

Another group of 12f--22s took the opportunity to break through the defense line of the C011 team from an ultra-low altitude and go north! (To be continued,)
