    From the very beginning, the Leopard Bs dispatched by Qi Yiming used difficult low-altitude penetration and chose to fly in mountainous areas with complex terrain, trying their best to avoid being prematurely detected by Soviet air defense radars.  Compared with Leopard A, Leopard B has no improvement in low-altitude and low-speed performance, and seems to have become worse. Instead, it has improved significantly in aerial combat and other aspects.  Entering the war zone in the form of a low-altitude penetration was originally a very risky decision, but Qi Yiming was still willing to take this risk.  This is also a manifestation of his absolute trust in the superb skills of the Red Alert pilots.

    It was not until Leopard B dropped AR-2 missiles on the heads of a group of T-64s that the Soviets discovered this group of bold fighters.

    "Hast Wind Group, Super Wind Group, Fire Wind Group, please pay attention, please pay attention. The enemy has taken off 6 Su-27 fighters from Chirchik Air Force Base, and 8 MiG-31 fighters have taken off from Zhaneysmey Air Force Base. The above bases have been  Our short-range surface-to-surface missile attack will not form another offensive in a short period of time. Incoming enemy aircraft will be shot down directly and allowed to enter the Soviet Union for attacks!"

    "I received it from the wind."

    "Chaofeng received it."

    "Huofeng received it."

    Because these fighters do not belong to the Air Force and do not even have a base establishment, they were temporarily assigned to three flying groups for unified command.  Although the Fifth Agricultural Division suffered serious losses on the front line due to poor deployment at the beginning of the conflict, after Qi Yiming took over the baton, larger quantities of materials and military forces were continuously transported to the border areas, and he  What you control is basically the power belonging to your own base.

    Qi Yiming, who was far away in the capital, was also a little nervous and excited, because the Leopard B had to fight against the Soviet Union's main third-generation fighters this time, and it was no longer the second-generation fighters like the MiG-23 and F-4. The real test  The time has come to determine how the base-produced fighter aircraft performs among products of the same generation.

    Although Qi Yiming has a lot of confidence in the Leopard B designed and produced by XAC, the Leopard B, as a heavy aircraft, will not suffer when facing the Su-27 and MiG-31, which are also heavy aircraft.  However, Leopard B's mission loadout is mainly anti-armor. Each aircraft has only two PL-12s and two PL-8s for anti-air weapons. Compared with the Su-27 and MiG-31, which are dedicated to interception,  It's a bit inferior in terms of firepower.

    "Abandon the auxiliary fuel tanks!" The captains of each flying group decisively issued the order before engaging the enemy. The two heavy auxiliary fuel tanks they carried did not hinder ground attacks, but they were a big trouble in air combat, so when fighting with the Soviet Union  Before the fighters meet, they need to get rid of this obstructive thing.

    Because of the huge body of the Leopard B and the conformal fuel tanks on both sides of the air intake, the transition distance of the Leopard B with two auxiliary fuel tanks can exceed 4,000 kilometers, which is comparable to some heavy bombers.  After throwing away the cumbersome auxiliary fuel tanks, the pilots felt that the aircraft suddenly became lighter. Everyone adjusted their mental state and were ready to face the enemy at any time.

    "The enemy plane enters the range, blast 2-4 to shoot!" All the Chinese pilots are familiar with the routine. They just rely on the PL-12 active mid-range which has a much longer range and is much more accurate than others.  Block the projectiles, discover the enemy first, and attack first. After a good beating, if there are still fish that have slipped through the net, attack them in groups until the enemies are wiped from the sky.

    To be fair, the radar used by the Leopard B is still far behind the AWG-9 used by HNA's F-14, but it is obvious that the radars of the Su-27 and MiG-31 are not much better than the avionics of the Leopard B.  .  What's more, even if they discovered Chinese fighter jets sixty or seventy kilometers away, they could not find a way to attack them and could only tell them to approach.

    From different directions and angles, a group of Leopards fully demonstrated the true meaning of bullying others with their technical and numerical advantages. All three flying brigades totaled more than forty PL-12s and threw them sixty or seventy kilometers away for free.  Soviet fighter plane.  It didn't take long for these missiles to "see" the Soviet fighter jets that wanted to look good to the Chinese Air Force at a high speed of Mach 4. The first ones to suffer were those MiG-31s ??that could be called flying rockets and had only 5G maneuvering overload. They hit them head on.  The incoming PL-12 effortlessly shot down all these fighters flying at close to Mach 3.

    The MiG-31 prides itself on being much faster than most fighter jets, but it may not be able to catch up with air-to-air missiles.  What's even more tragic is that these MiG-31s ??knew that they were locked and wanted to escape from the PL-12's fire control radar, but their poor maneuverability made them appear in slow motion in front of the PL-12 with a maximum overload of 38G.  The replays were the same, so much so that not a single MiG-31 was lucky enough to be spared such an unreasonable, all-out attack, for fear of not knowing that it had more missiles.

    In comparison, the performance of the Su-27 is slightly better, but not much better. These third-generation heavy fighters that also serve the PLA in another dimension are also as fragile as children when facing the PL-12.  After being locked, the skilled Soviet pilots immediately began to carry out their own tactical evasive maneuvers, either crashing or rolling sideways. However, several of the forward fighters were within the PL-12's no-escape zone.Canada pays limited attention to China's air-to-air missiles, and the maneuvers it makes are not overloaded enough.

    So it's tragic for such pilots. Just when they thought they had pulled the plane far enough, they saw those vicious cobra-like missiles effortlessly turning their direction and biting these Sus.  -27 trajectory, and then hit these fighters head-on amid the horrified screams of the Maozi pilots.

    And only two Su-27 pilots were lucky and cunning enough to escape in the face of this "rain of arrows" and were not shot down in the end.

    Pilot Maozi, who was sitting in the cockpit, had a ghostly expression on his face. He had never thought that an air battle would proceed in this way.  Fighters no longer engage in artistic and melodic aerial combat. Their opponents only need to find themselves, and then Tucson presses the weapon launch button, and then his comrades are hit by mosquitoes with special-effect insecticides.  Like a group, they fell from the sky with a clatter.

    There are two planes left on our side, and the opponent has more than 20 planes, without any losses. Even if they firmly believe that they are better than the Chinese pilots, a ratio of 1:10 is definitely not something that pilots without talented plug-ins can handle.  Case.  Well, not everyone came through the Dragon Knight from another world!

    "Tower, tower, our unit has suffered heavy losses, please retreat, please retreat!"

    There was a buzzing sound in the communicator, and the ground commander could be heard saying something, but the two surviving Maozi pilots couldn't hear clearly. Finally, one person said in horror: "It's electronic warfare, it's electronic warfare."  Electronic warfare, electronic suppression by the Chinese!¡±

    His guess was absolutely correct. Although the body structure and inner body are completely different from Feibao A, the emphasis on compatibility is still the biggest feature of the Feibao series.  This batch of Flying Leopards manufactured at the base can not only be equipped with various electronic warfare pods to become a full-time electronic warfare aircraft, but also have a built-in electronic warfare weapon system in its wide nose, which can attack the enemy.  It can interfere with the communication to a certain extent, which is not as good as a special jamming pod, but it is also very effective and saves rack space.  The electronic warfare pod used by the second-generation Leopard B specifically miniaturizes and integrates some functional pods. For example, the pods currently hung on the front pylons of several of the fighters are small electronic jammers.  The pod can have certain electronic warfare capabilities while taking into account both air combat and ground missions.

    Since the Soviet Union took the initiative to test the Chinese Air Force equipped with new fighter jets in Vietnam, the term electronic warfare is still fresh in the memory of the Soviet Union.  Not only has it invested a lot of money in developing its own electromagnetic interference and anti-interference weapons, but it has also taught pilots across the military to be cautious when dealing with electronic warfare aircraft, and how to deal with combat after being suppressed by electronics.

    It¡¯s just that this repeated teaching also had the opposite effect. However, after being interfered with by relatively low-level electronic interference, the two Su-27 pilots were already on the verge of collapse.  The comrades were killed cleanly, and information from the rear could not be transmitted in time. They were basically fighting alone.

    So, without even thinking about it, the two Maozi pilots tacitly turned around, turned on the afterburner, and planned to escape from the war zone, regardless of whether they would be reviewed and punished by their superiors later.

    It¡¯s just that they wanted to escape, but they were a little late.  A group of Leopard Bs are at the same level as their flankers. The speed of Leopard A is only Mach 1.75, but these Leopard Bs, which have evolved into multi-purpose fighters, can reach a top speed of Mach 2.2 with the more excellent WS-10 series engines.  , the acceleration performance is also much better than AL-31.

    Before the two Su-27s could escape far, a black mass of Leopard Bs like hunting eagles had already surrounded them. Pilot Maozi was shocked and wished he had two more engines on the plane to push them as fast as possible.  Escape.  As soon as a group of Leopard Bs, like a group of cats and mice, entered a distance of 15 kilometers, the impatient pilot took the lead and fired several PL-8 short-range combat bombs.  This distance is almost on the boundary between inside and outside the range. It is generally the distance in the combat manual to avoid launching missiles, but maybe because of being too confident, it was still launched.

    Fortunately, a missile caught up with the tail of a plane that was slightly behind one plane. After the fragmentation warhead detonated instantly, a radius of more than ten meters was filled with 2,500 steel balls, which immediately severely damaged the Su-27.  .  Because the attack was on the nozzle of his engine, it directly destroyed his hope of escape. Although the hit Su-27 did not explode in the air, it inevitably fell to the ground.  The pilot did not hesitate and ejected immediately, saving his life.

    The last Su-27 ran for his life like crazy, but the leopards that gathered around would not give him this chance.  After a short chase, they finally got close enough, and several PL-8s were fired at the same time, not giving the Su-27 any chance.

    After clearing away all the unsightly existences in the sky, the Fire Wind Brigade suddenlyA fighter jet's radar warning buzzed loudly!
