Volume 1 Chapter 135 135 Tough Battle in the Air

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Soviet Homeland Defense Air Force and the Air Force have repeatedly suffered losses from China's advanced fighters. Just last night, the Chinese Air Force was like juggling the new generation fighters IG-31 and S-27 that the Soviet Union relied on the most.  In front of this, it is difficult for the Soviet aviation force to take any advantage.  [. First release] It has become a luxury for them to even see Chinese fighter jets. Often when they are still more than fifty kilometers or even one hundred kilometers away from the Chinese fighter jets, the Chinese fighter jets have already released their medium-range bombs, easily  Knock down your enemies neatly.

    The fear of the Chinese Air Force's PL-12 has begun to make the originally brave Soviet pilots start to change their temper. They thought of various ways to escape this missile with long range, good maneuverability and high accuracy. Although  So far, they lack any particularly effective method to resist such missiles, but Soviet pilots have also found some ways to counter it.

    For example, the current thirty-three IG-23s, in order to avoid detection by the powerful airborne radar of Chinese fighters, use their variable swept wings to provide low-altitude performance and fly as close to the horizon as possible.  This was the best method they could think of before there were fifth-generation stealth fighters.  It is of course possible to use electronic warfare weapons, but the Soviet Union does not yet have this capability, so it can only work hard on attack methods.

    Thirty-three IG-23s approached the direction of the Chinese fighters in a low-altitude raid, especially since the direction they came from happened to be in a mountainous area, so the complex terrain echoes also helped them delay the chance of the Chinese fighters discovering them. This tactic  The success was the first time that the Soviet army found a way to shoot down a bunch of fighters before the battle started.

    "The radar signal of the enemy fighter was found." When the IG-23 had arrived at a position about 40 kilometers away from the J-10 fleet, the J-10 captured the opponent. This situation could have been avoided by sending out an early warning aircraft.  When cruising in the sky, even if the enemy makes a low-altitude penetration, there is a greater chance of being discovered by the early warning aircraft.

    Qi Yiming also wanted to send an early warning aircraft at the beginning, but apart from some problems in coordination with the Xinjiang Military Region, the northwest was not as equipped with early warning aircraft as those in southern Xinjiang and Northeast China. After such a delay, there was no way to wait for the early warning aircraft.  Lifted off.

    Even so, the J-10 has still entered the range, and the R-24 and R-60 used by their opponent IG-23 cannot be launched.  More than twenty J-10s, which are air superiority models, urgently launched PL-12s. Active mid-range missiles came out in response, and each fighter plane fired two. This kind of effect was once again performed that the air forces of other countries simply could not afford.  A game about throwing enemy planes out of the sky.

    Originally, I thought that my side had destroyed the Chinese's PL-12 advantage, but when faced with the PL-12 at a distance of 40 kilometers, these IG-23s still looked as weak as children.  The chaotic situation at low altitude will somewhat interfere with the hit rate of some such missiles, and the Chinese Air Force's position when shooting is not particularly good. However, after a short flight, this wave of PL-12s still banged, banged, banged, and banged.  The tone hit seven of them, six of which were shot down directly, and one was seriously injured. It was swaying, and it was unclear whether it was going to return to the field or make an emergency landing.

    Fortunately, the Soviet homeland defense air force sent out enough ig-23s this time. Although 7 fighters were lost in one encounter, they still had more than 20 fighters that could fight back. Soviet pilots who were confident in their air combat skills gritted their teeth.  , vowing to achieve a glorious victory in this air battle.

    Qi Yiming also received the above situation in the Dalinuoer base, and his face became solemn, "The person who came here is not evil."

    In the past, Qi Yiming relied on cheat-type air combat weapons like the pl-12. Since Qi Yiming changed his equipment for the Air Force, he has shot down no less than thirty or forty enemy aircraft on behalf of the squadron from Vietnam to South Korea.  Even if it is really dragged into a close dog fight, by that time the Chinese Air Force has often defeated more than half of its opponents and has achieved an absolute advantage in numbers. It can be bullied no matter how hard it is.

    But now, what he needs to face are the 26 ig-23 fighter jets of the Soviet army. The number of aircraft on his side is similar. Although the J-10 is a generation and a half more advanced than these MiG aircraft, a chaos of this scale  In war, anything can happen.

    It is said that American third-generation aircraft have appeared on the battlefield many times, and it seems that they have never been shot down.  Of course, there are factors of its advanced nature, but in fact, even in "big scenes" like the Gulf War, the U.S. Air Force has never encountered a truly powerful opponent. The Iraqi Air Force continued to defect, and Saddam Hussein's blind command  , is the most important factor why the U.S. Air Force did not suffer any huge losses.  When dealing with Kosovo, it seems that non-contact combat is very good, but the F-16, F-117 and other fighters were still defeated as soon as they were said to be defeated.

    In order to do arms business and create an image of themselves as invincible, Americans will vigorously downplay these things, repeatedly saying that there is no evidence for the other party's shooting down, and that the plane fell not because it was shot down, but because of a mechanical failure.

      Like the current air battle between the Soviet Army and Pla, which totals close to a hundred fighter planes, and is a pure air battle between two military powers, it is almost unique after World War II.  In the air battle between Israel and Syria in the Bekaa Valley four years ago, Israel claimed to have destroyed more than 80 Syrian fighter jets, but in fact most of these fighter jets were destroyed on the ground rather than shot down.  Israel claimed that two F-15s were damaged, an F-4 was shot down, a Cub was shot down, and a navigation drone was shot down.  Of course there are rumors that they have lost even more.

    Qi Yiming is convinced that his J-10 fleet will destroy the Soviet IG-23, but it is difficult for him to predict what will happen once the two sides engage in battle.

    At a distance of 40 kilometers, it is difficult for fighters to fire two rounds of missiles, especially since the IG-23 does not have any fire-and-forget weapons, so the only attack mode they choose is tail-biting attack.  A few J-10s found the opportunity to shoot some PL-12 or PL-8 again, this time bringing three more victories, but at this time it was time for both sides to enter their respective visual ranges and start a melee.

    The commander of ig-23 was very wise and shouted: "Prioritize attacking ground-attack enemy aircraft!"

    The J-10s on the other side also knew that the ground-attack Raptors equipped with guided bombs and anti-armor missiles were the most vulnerable targets. Before the two sides came into contact, these ground-attack fighters had already slowed down and turned.  , leaving the front side to the air superiority aircraft.  The IG-23s naturally discovered this situation. They turned their noses, trying to avoid the escort fighters and attack the "soft persimmons", but the J-10s with air superiority would never let this happen.

    The scene seemed a bit chaotic, but a thrilling dog fight began.  At first, the ig-23 aggressively wanted to find trouble with those ground-attack fighters, but they soon discovered to their horror that those extremely flexible canard-type delta-wing fighters had a terrifyingly small turning radius and difficulty in climbing.  As fast as you can imagine, as long as one doesn't pay attention, they will bite the tail.

    A few minutes after engaging the enemy, the first victim appeared.  An ig-23 tried at least four or five maneuvers, but none of them could shake off the J-10 attached to the back. After the opponent had a firm grip, he immediately fired a PL-8 and knocked the J-10 away.  The ig-23 was shot down from the sky.

    After the first one appeared, one after another unlucky ones also began to fall from the sky.  The J-10, whose maneuverability is significantly better than that of the IG-23, has made the Soviets' hot minds become cold again.

    "How could this happen? We have already entered a dogfight. Why are China's fighter planes so powerful?" the commander of the Homeland Defense Air Force shouted in his heart, willing to defend the fact that the Chinese could only rely on long-range advanced air-to-air missiles to fight against their powerful Soviet homeland.  Anti-air force, but when it comes to air combat, he can feel that the combat performance of the fighter planes and the level of the pilots will never be inferior to them.

    There was not much structure in this melee. The Soviet army was completely over-the-top and had little coordination with each other. However, several IG-23s worked hard to attack ground fighters and take advantage of the chaotic air situation.  Dodging left and right, he actually got rid of the pursuit of a J-10.

    However, the J-10 that was attacking the ground soon jumped out and gave these MiGs a sap.  Although there are tons of bombs hanging on it, the Super Raptor, who was born as a multi-purpose fighter, still has good air combat capabilities. When it found itself being targeted, the J-10 immediately reacted and made an instant turn, pointing its nose  Two PL-8s for self-defense were fired from the flank of the IG-23 that was still unable to keep up with his turn, directly shooting the IG-23 down in the air.  The following air superiority aircraft were also shot down by cannons and combat bombs.

    "It's quite a headache if we don't think about the Soviet troops escaping for their lives." Qi Yiming couldn't help but secretly thought. This was the first time he saw the PLA Air Force with many advantages fighting the enemy openly and openly. In the past, when  When they find they are outnumbered, the enemy planes will retreat, but they will still be shot down. Now the Soviets are firmly determined to fight, even if they are still being shot down, it has also caused considerable trouble for the Pla Air Force.

    Finally, an IG-23 that had been docked for a long time, after leaving the center of the battlefield for a certain distance, was very lucky to be close to the rear side of a ground-attack fighter that had not escaped far enough. The fully loaded J-10 was unable to fly.  to his own top speed, but the ig-23 can keep up.  Pilot Maozi fired all his air-to-air missiles without hesitation. At a not-too-distant distance, although these air-to-air missiles only hit the J-10 once, a fire broke out behind the aircraft, and it could happen at any time.  Detonate a mounted bomb.

    The pilot did not hesitate, directly pressed the ejection button and flew out of the cockpit.

    "Nah, this is unscientific!" Just when Qi Yiming almost thought that nothing was wrong, he was actually seized by an unlucky ig-23. Normally, this aircraft should be able to be saved.  Yes, but that bombBig trouble.  The pilot can choose to abandon these bombs and save the plane, but Qi Yiming cannot be too demanding on others when it comes to flight choices.

    Fortunately, such an own incident did not happen again. In the next twenty minutes or so, all the ig-23s were shot down one after another. Although the 33:1 air combat result was not so perfect, it was more or less acceptable.

    With a hint of revenge, Qi Yiming ordered: "Take care of those bastards on the ground who can't fly! You ruined a plane worth tens of millions of dollars, and you have to pay some price!" He didn't either.  Remember, these aircraft were never purchased based on money's value.  .
