The 683rd chapter Tabas air battle (2)
In contrast, Colonel Said Sanjar, who had an absolute advantage in number and launched an attack with three JF-11 squadrons, seemed very nervous. US-Israeli fighter jets have been rampant over Persia for a long time. The Persian fighter jets that had taken off the air before were basically destroyed without encountering US-Israeli fighter jets and had no power to resist.
Although Colonel Sanjar was the first pilot to learn from the Fighter Dragon, everyone had mainly learned how to control the flight of this kind of fighter. As an old pilot, during flight training, Sanjar felt that the performance of the Fighter Dragon fighter was worse than the early model SU-30 he had flew, and was basically the same as the MiG-29. Of course, Sanjar judged it from the aspects of engine, weapon loading capabilities, etc.
However, compared with the SU-30 and MiG-29, Sanjar felt that the digitalization level of the JF-17 was much higher. During his flight training, he was flying the fourth batch of JF-17B produced by China National Pakistan. It was called the JF-17B in the Pakistani army and was also equipped with aiming helmets. After all, most of these fighters were produced after 2010, and compared with the SU-30 produced around 2000, it was basically not on the same level in electronic equipment.
However, Sanjar found that the airborne radar of the JF-11 was quite average, and the Doppler radar system imported by the Pakistani army from Italy was not as good as the Russian ZHUK-27 radar of the SU-30.
Regarding Sanjar's question, the coach of the Pakistani army told him with certainty, "After going to heaven, don't care about any airborne radar, and you should not even turn it on. Everything is enough to follow the radar system guidance of the ground or air early warning aircraft, and strictly follow the instructions of the combat system. Everything is that simple."
This combat method almost completely subverted Sanjar's perception. Although the Persians had purchased air early warning aircraft and conducted some coordinated combat exercises between early warning aircraft and fighter aircraft, Sanjar had never tried to fight without turning on the airborne fire control radar, which was simply incredible to him.
However, no matter how suspicious it was, in this flight operation, Sanjar still followed the requirements of the Pakistani army coach and made all the F-10 fighters not turn on the airborne radar system. After they took off, they collected the information of the opponent's fighter from the ground radar system through data links. Sanjar's move accidentally delayed the time when the F-35 fighter of the Israeli army was discovered by the F-35 fighter of the US military, and suddenly came out when the US Iron Fist Squadron was chasing, which played an unexpected role.
After taking off, Sanjar soon received information from the ground radar system from the JF-15 fighter system. More than 100 kilometers away, the US F-15 fighter and the Israeli F-35 fighter were both under the surveillance of the ground radar system. Compared with previous operations, at least in the radar system, the Chinese radar system is much stronger, and can seamlessly integrate the ground radar system with the fighter jets in the sky, giving Sanjar a wonderful feeling of predicting the enemy's initiative for the first time.
This gave Sanjar some confidence in today's air combat, and he could discover it earlier than his opponent in radar system, at least he had the advantage of air combat, so he didn't have to worry about being helpless against his opponent's over-visual range attack like a blind man.
On the other hand, when the Persian radar was turned on, the F-35 fighter radar driven by Major Lennon immediately discovered the movements of the Persians, but the huge Persian Fighter Cluster that rushed at high speed made Major Lennon have no time to deal with the radars that suddenly appeared in the Persians.
His squad is now responsible for commanding the F-15 fighter jets. In Lennon's view, the F-15 on his side has been discovered by ground radar, so it would be of little significance to destroy the Persian ground radar system.
At this moment, both fighter jets turned on their afterburner and entered a supersonic flight state. In a blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides narrowed dozens of kilometers.
Sanjar, who was nervously driving the JF-11 fighter jet to his opponent, suddenly heard the "beep" prompt sound on the fighter jet. Sanjar heard that this was the prompt sound of the combat system locking the opponent's fighter jet. Sanjar glanced at the information displayed on the combat system screen at this moment. At this moment, the enemy plane locked by the system was still 70 kilometers away.
This is too exaggerated. Sanjar, who was fighting on the JF-11 fighter for the first time, couldn't help but hesitate in the face of the system's prompts. Although during flight training, the Chinese coach and the Pakistani coach repeatedly explained that the most important thing was to operate according to the instructions of the combat system and not to make decisions on their own. Although the words were still in my mind, Sanjar really had no confidence. He needed to wait and get closer before firing.
Not only Sanjar, there are many pilots in the Foxconn squadron who are as thoughtful as Sanjar. There are less than 10 who can launch attacks immediately according to the prompts of the fighter. Such sparse attacks naturally have a low hit rate. Raymond's Iron Fist Squadron's maneuvering and releasing jamming bombs, which caused most of the first round of attacks in the Foxconn squadron to be empty, and only one fighter was extremely unfortunately hit.
The extremely valuable opportunity for the first attack of the Xiaolong Squadron to be wasted by Sanjar and others, and this result made Sanjar and others even more lose confidence.
However, the JF-17 Squadron took the lead in launching an attack. This unexpected result scared Raymond and Lennon. When did the Persian fire control radar become so powerful? They put aside their contempt for the Persian JF-17 fighter jets and began to treat this unexpected air battle with great caution.
They are all veterans who have been through the battlefield. They know the little things. The Xiaolong fighter jets can fire before the enemy. Although the first round of attacks is very average, this fully proves that the opponent is not as vulnerable as the old fighter jets before, but poses a real threat to them.
Therefore, after avoiding the first round of attacks by the Persians, the Iron Fist Squadron immediately responded with color. The phased array radar APG-82 on their aircraft can track 26 targets at the same time and attack 4 of them at the same time. However, the Iron Fist Squadron is now very different from the number of opponents, and Raymond and others dare not waste ammunition. In this round of attack, they only fired 24 AIM-120C medium-range bullets.
The 24 FF-10 fighter jets locked by US fighter jets, amid the harsh alarm, Persian pilots began to desperately avoid maneuvers.
The remaining JF-11 fighter pilots finally woke up and began to launch an attack according to the combat system prompts. For a moment, missiles over Tabas flew across, pulling out white lines.
