    The war quickly developed from a raid on the border to a large-scale air battle with real weapons and an astonishing scale.  However, from the beginning, everyone has already determined the outcome of the air battle. The multinational forces with the two largest air forces in the world dispatched more than 500 third-generation aircraft. They faced only dozens of third-generation aircraft (M2) and large  Iraq, which has some second-generation aircraft, has an advantage.

    There is a small detail in air combat, that is, the US military's B6 is prohibited from participating in air combat. Some senior generals in the headquarters even said that whoever shoots down an enemy plane with a B6 will be sent home.

    This matter made Qi Yiming quite curious, but after analysis by the Strategic Bureau, the main reason why B6s were not allowed to participate in air combat was probably because most B6s at this time did not have perfect identification of friend or foe.  The US military requires at least two ways to determine that the opponent is an enemy aircraft before it can fire. It is not enough to have IPF (Identification Friend or Foe), but also NCTB for target identification) and other other methods. The difference above is that IPPi performs responsive identification, while  NCTB determines whether the opponent is an enemy aircraft by analyzing the modulated echo of the jet engine.

    The B6 is prohibited from participating in air combat, mainly to avoid embarrassing accidental injuries during beyond visual range air combat, because the B6 has no way of judging whether the opponent is an enemy aircraft or a friendly aircraft.

    In fact, before the war started, the US military was still worried about the identification of friend or foe between Chinese fighters and other NATO fighters. However, research on this topic had already begun when China and the United States reached a consensus on military cooperation. Within a short period of time, a number of fighters were installed.  This is due to the good system modularity of Chinese weapons. The data bus of Chinese fighter jets is actually an upgraded version of the 156B domestic version common to the US military, so the IPF system common to the US military can be easily applied.  .  The US military was also shocked by how quickly their Chinese counterparts completed this task, because of course they had also thought about installing a complete identification friend or foe system on the B6, but this definitely did not happen overnight. Those defense contractors either had to increase prices or delay the construction.  , making Americans feel envious and jealous of the Chinese system for a while.

    Of course, there are conspiracy theorists who believe that if the B6 performs well in another war, the brainless U.S. Congress will reduce the Air Force budget and all use this type of one-engine medium-sized fighter, so it will not be allowed to express itself at all.

    As a result, the main fighters that dominate the sky have become the American B15 and B14 and the Chinese 9 and B14CN. Other countries such as the Mirage fighter and Tornado have been relatively eclipsed.

    During the air strike, the Chinese Air Force's Shadow Leopard fighter jets were required by the Joint Operations Command to mainly perform missions in the form of ground attacks because of their powerful bomb-carrying capabilities. However, even so, the Shadow Leopard fighter jets also carried sufficient air combat weapons.  Be able to defend yourself when necessary.

    The standard J-9 dual-mission mount is that the small pylon under the air inlet carries an optoelectronic pod and a composite electronic pod, which can conduct ground attack guidance and simple electronic warfare. The belly pylon carries a  A 66kg guided bomb or an anti-radiation missile, a total of 2 pylons on both sides of the conformal fuel tank, or 2 small diameter bombs originally developed for the Black Hawk or B 20kg guided bombs or AR2 anti-armor missiles  , the main pylon is a composite pylon, carrying two auxiliary fuel tanks and four pL-2 medium-range missiles, and the wingtip pylons carry two pL-fighting missiles.

    Since Chinese fighter jets have proven themselves with guided bombs on multiple battlefields, it has been generally believed in the world's air force circles that high-precision joint guided bombs will become the mainstream of the air force's ground attacks. The US military also trusts the PLA Air Force and believes that they are more powerful.  I have the experience to carry out such precise strikes, but I also have the intention to learn and explore by observing the performance of the Chinese Air Force.

    The new generation of fighter-bombers has broken away from the basics of fighter-bombers. The 152-type airborne radar used is also much more complex and advanced. The detection range has reached 20 kilometers, even reaching a level comparable to the B14's 9. In fact,  The designer has learned a lot from the Mi, and has made this radar's downward-looking function and precision beyond that of a more powerful airborne radar. If the fighter is facing a B15 using AP6, it can basically do  Discover the enemy first and attack the enemy first.

    At this time, the U.S. military's B15Pf Falcon Eagle already has preliminary combat capabilities, but it has not yet fully integrated the command pod and can only carry the LANTIBN navigation pod. This means that this dual-mission fighter aircraft, which the U.S. military has high hopes for, is currently facing  Ground attacks can only throw iron bombs.

    On the other hand, although China's Shadow Leopard fighter jet has participated in actual combat for the first time, the integration of various systems and weapons testing have been completed, and it has 100% precision strike capability.  The United States has deployed 4B Strike Eagles in the Gulf, and China has also deployed 48 Shadow Leopards in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. But even the Americans themselves trust the Shadow Leopards of their "allies" more at this time, rather than just dropping iron bombs.  eagle.

    As soon as the air battle began, the two Shadow Leopard aviation regiments were full of tasks. The multinational force joint operations command actually did this to test the combat capabilities and tenacity of the Chinese Air Force.

    ¡°Comrades, our target is the Iraqi military communications and command center located north of Basra.systems, air defense positions, and if ammunition is still available, we are also assigned to attack power facilities and transportation facilities.  "The squadron leader of the flying squadron warned his comrades again.

    "The Yankees treat us as coolies, haha." Someone joked in the channel.

    The squadron leader also smiled and said: "This is something they can't do, so let us do it."

    Among the attack targets planned by the Joint Operations Command, there are obvious signs of selectivity and favoritism. Some targets that are of great significance or are relatively easy to hit, such as government institutions in Baghdad, are left by the Americans for the US Air Force.  The Americans did not hesitate to throw some hard bones to the Chinese Air Force to chew on.  The U.S. Air Force has nearly 600 combat aircraft in the Gulf, more than half of which are used for ground attacks. China has only sent one-fifth of the U.S. military, but the aviation force has sent one-third of the U.S. military¡¯s fighter planes.  There are more, more than 200 aircraft, and they generally have relatively high technical levels, so the tasks they undertake are not much different from those of the US military.

    At this time, a communication sound came from the squadron leader's earphone, "Ghost 1I This is Yuncheng 6. We have discovered that a group of enemy planes have taken off and are preparing to intercept your unit. We need to notify the Americans to come and help.  One handful?" This was the notice from the Chinese Air Force early warning aircraft flying nearby.

    The U.S. military was not that attentive in the initial attack operations and left a lot of the work to the Chinese. The motivation also included that any pilot felt that air combat was glorious and air raids were dirty work, so the U.S. Air Force deliberately took over most of the work.  As part of the escort work, I hope that my fighter planes can shoot down a few more enemy planes so that I can put a few more stars on them.  Even if Chinese fighter planes conduct ground attacks, they are responsible for helping escort them. At this moment, four B15s are cruising dozens of kilometers away from the flanks of the Shadow Leopard fleet.

    The squadron leader is not willing to give up this opportunity to the Americans in vain. They are equipped with dual missions, and according to the communications from the early warning aircraft, there are only six Iraqi interceptor fighters, and they are all MiG-2 fighter planes - there are still 100 kilometers to go.  In his position, he had been caught by the Shadow Leopard Squadron, and there was no chance of escape.

    "Thank you, Yuncheng 6, but we have no idea of ????leaving the victory to others, let us solve it ourselves, it's over."

    "Received, I wish you success."

    The squadron leader entered combat mode, and his whole body was on fire. His fighter plane had received the enemy aircraft's location report from the early warning aircraft, and the missiles were also ready to be launched. Taking a deep breath, he shouted: "Come on, my first  Although the Air Force and Hainan Airlines have fought many battles in recent years, a crash is extremely valuable to any pilot. Most national pilots do not have a crash record in their entire lives.

    Pressing the launch button, the J-9 fighter launched two pL-2 air-to-air missiles. Like him, other partners in the squadron also launched missiles at the enemy.  The missile moved forward at a high speed of Mach 4 according to the guidance direction, and it did not take much time to get close to the enemy.  Several Iraqi fighter planes are second-generation aircraft, and are jokingly called flying rockets by current Chinese pilots. They have suddenly forgotten that they also flew these flying rockets a few years ago.

    The Chinese Air Force's own version of the pL-2 has far better homing capabilities than the exported version. These flying rockets do not have much to do when faced with incoming mid-range missiles. Even these fighters are not equipped with radar warning devices and are relatively low-end.  When the missiles came into visual range, they suddenly discovered that it was already too late. Several air-to-air missiles shot down these Iraqi fighter jets cleanly, which also created the Chinese Air Force's first attack since the beginning of the Gulf War.  Air combat results.

    There was a burst of cheers from the Ghost Squadron. This squadron is quite young. Except for the squadron leader who has been flying for seven or eight years, the other pilots are relatively new pilots. It only takes three or two years to become an Air Force pilot.  However, the Air Force has accumulated a lot of flying hours in recent years, basically guaranteeing 182 hours of flying hours per month. These immature pilots have also grown up rapidly.

    The squadron leader said happily: "Let's go, our mission is not completed yet. After destroying a few aircraft, we have to blow up something else. We came here loaded with missiles, and then returned loaded with results."

    In the first three days after the air strikes in the Gulf began, professional data statistics showed that the air strike efficiency of the Chinese aviation force was more than twice that of the U.S. military and other countries' air forces. The Iraqi forces, which have the most dense air defense network in the Gulf, shot down six aircraft in three days.  None of the enemy planes were Chinese fighter planes, and not even a single Chinese fighter plane was damaged.  Afterwards, military experts analyzed that the Chinese aviation force has worked hard on the subject of precision strikes, and every fighter plane involved in the attack used jointly guided attack weapons. Their range is often beyond the range of Iraqi air defense weapons, so it is even more important.  Safety, while attack aircraft and fighter jets of the US, British and French forces often have to fly overhead to drop bombs. They are warmly received by Iraq's 37mm and 57mm anti-aircraft guns, so they are more susceptible to losses than Chinese fighter jets.
