    The Americans were so careful that they did not expect that the Chinese were so bad. In the final analysis, neither the United States nor NATO were ready for a direct war with China, and they had a fluke mentality that the Chinese would stand by and watch if a war started.  After contacting Chinese fighter jets in the sky, because the Chinese fighter jets did not fire first, the United States and NATO became helpless and did not want to take the initiative to attack the Chinese fighter jets.  However, the fact that Chinese fighter planes do not attack does not mean that their actions are well-intentioned. The containment of NATO air strike aircraft in this narrow airspace directly facilitates the Yugoslav Air Force, under the guidance of Chinese friendly forces, to fly into the air to attack these stunned NATO aircraft.  Fighter planes encircled and killed.

    The YUG-5 Jayhawk, which carried multiple air-to-air missiles, launched multiple PL-11B active mid-range interceptor projectiles before it entered visual range.  This kind of interceptor missile is actually similar to the aim-7 Sparrow missile equipped with an active seeker. Its performance is still inferior to China's main pl-12 series, and it is not a type of bomb used by the Chinese aviation force.  However, Yugoslavia introduced the production line of this missile at a low price and equipped it on its own Jayhawk fighter aircraft, which can be regarded as achieving a relatively high level of localization.

    These missiles posed a great challenge to the US military. None of the four Raptors were hit by missiles, but the Phantom bomber was unfortunately hit by one of the pl-11b missiles. Although it was not shot down directly, its flight performance had been seriously affected.  There was an impact, and there was also a problem with the magazine control, making it impossible to continue the strike mission.

    "Guys, the mission has changed. We now need to return Equation 2-1 to the base safely!"

    "But those Yugoslav flies are so annoying!"

    "So we have to get rid of them now!"

    This air battle was the first air battle after the outbreak of the Kosovo War. Four Raptors faced off against nine YUG-5 Jayhawks.  Although the YUG-5 is one generation behind the Raptor, and it is also a medium-sized fighter aircraft, which cannot be compared with the Raptor, but if it really stands up in the sky, considering the numerical advantage, the F-22 will be surrounded by several Sparrowhawks.

    Downey¡¯s F-22 shot down a Jayhawk, and his wingman also shot down another, but soon one of his teammates was also shot down by a Yugoslav fighter.  Under such circumstances, his command issued an order for them to evacuate to avoid causing greater casualties.

    The first battle of the Raptor ended in this way. Although two aircraft were shot down, one of our own was also shot down, which was inconsistent with the high expectations the U.S. Air Force had placed on it.

    In other airspaces, fierce air battles and air defense operations are also taking place.  The United States dispatched electronic warfare aircraft in the hope of seizing electromagnetic control, but they not only fought against the Yugoslavs, the Chinese PLA immediately adopted its own superior electromagnetic countermeasures, which instead interfered with the US military's command and communication system.  The fact that the electromagnetic control power was not seized allowed the Yugoslav Air Force, which was originally not weak, to freely operate its command and communication systems, making the Yugoslav Air Force's counterattacks clear-cut and of considerable intensity.

    In particular, the NATO allies did not consider that the Yugoslav Air Force's counterattack would be so strong at the beginning. The first wave of attacking aircraft included 8 F-117 stealth attack aircraft. However, these attack aircraft were defeated by China's anti-stealth attack aircraft very early.  It was discovered by radar and the location was reported to the Yugoslav Air Force.

    After struggling with several NATO F-16 and Tornado fighter jets, several Yugoslav Air Force Yug-5s seized the attack position and quickly shot them down.  By the time other NATO allied fighter jets arrived, the Yugoslav Air Force had shot down three F-117s.

    Unexpectedly, the nightmare of these F-117s was not over yet. Although the Jayhawk interceptors were driven away, the SAM-2 missiles of the South Korean Air Force and the Kaishan-1a missiles of China also launched attacks one after another, attacking the targets whose positions had been exposed.  F-117 attack aircraft and NATO F-16 and other fighters launched the offensive.

    ??Two F-117s were shot down, a Portuguese fc-1 Xiaolong and a Danish f-16 were shot down.  Of course, this air defense position was soon locked by the US military and a strong sweep was carried out. An entire missile launch battalion was wiped out by the US military. At the same time, the Yugoslav Air Force also lost as many as four Jayhawk fighter jets.

    You must know that the NATO allies assembled 1,069 military aircraft to attack Yugoslavia, including 730 fighter jets. However, counting only the military aircraft of the Yugoslav Air Force, there were less than 400 aircraft, and only 82 of them were Yug-5 Sparrowhawks.  Fighters, most of the others are domestically produced light attack aircraft/trainer aircraft.  The NATO allies lost fighter planes and could quickly replenish them, but the Yugoslav Air Force lost one after one was shot down, and its continuous combat capabilities were insufficient.

    In addition, the US military's attacks from the sea were equally swift and violent. Cruise missiles launched by various types of ships and carrier-based aircraft launched from aircraft carriers all launched attacks on Yugoslavia from the direction of the Adriatic Sea.  However, in this position, the Chinese naval fleet stationed in the south provided a protective umbrella for Yugoslavia.

    Cruise missiles are inherently a huge threat to the fleet. The Chinese fleet does not care who the targets of these cruise missiles are. How many ships are there?The Aegis ship's Aegis system was operating at full capacity, and anti-aircraft missiles were used one after another to intercept the Tomahawk cruise missiles launched by the US military.  Especially the missiles whose flight trajectories were relatively close to theirs, none of them were missed.  In this wave of attacks, the United States launched more than 60 Tomahawks within two hours. Only four Tomahawk missiles were missed because the Chinese Navy deliberately released water. The remaining missiles were all fired by the Chinese Navy's four Aegis ships.  The interception showed the world the Chinese Aegis' unparalleled ability to withstand saturation attacks.

    This is also the first time since the advent of the Aegis ship that it has defended such a large-scale missile attack in actual combat, which has greatly excited many military experts.  At the same time, the outside world also has a deep understanding of the Chinese Navy's powerful ability to resist saturation attacks. Obviously, with just four Aegis ships, China can achieve an almost iron-clad defense, and China has more than hundreds of Aegis ships, which can provide  What kind of combat power you have, you can tell without asking.

    The route of US aircraft carrier-based aircraft taking off to attack Yugoslavia was also not smooth. The F-14 fighter jets taking off from the Chinese aircraft carrier Jilin intercepted and entangled US and French carrier-based aircraft in the Adriatic Sea airspace.  Currently, the NATO allies have the aircraft carriers USS Kennedy, USS Eisenhower and USS Foch in place, and the carrier-based aircraft dispatched are mainly F-14, F-18, A-11 and Super Etendard.  This wave of attacks was not fully mobilized. Only more than 40 fighter planes were dispatched to attack, and the Chinese fleet also dispatched a similar number of red Tomcats to intercept and expel them.

    Like the previous Black Hawk encounter with the Raptor, China's aircraft carrier-based aircraft also did not take the initiative to attack NATO military aircraft. However, a relatively fierce battle broke out between the two sides at sea. Although there was no firing, it was no less gunpowder than real guns and live ammunition, especially the Super Ensign,  A-11 and other attack aircraft were very dangerous in such a situation, and NATO Command had to withdraw them.

    NATO military planes want to break through the blocking net of Chinese fighter planes and rush inland, but the Chinese fighter planes are extremely patient. They will follow you and carry out dangerous flight maneuvers at any sign of trying to break through. This has caused many Americans and French  The pilot was terrified.

    The American pilots who were holding back their resentment repeatedly requested the headquarters to fire on the Chinese fighter jets, but the NATO headquarters still did not dare to open this door. Now the two sides can still maintain a certain tacit understanding to play this dangerous game, but once the two sides really start fighting openly and openly,  , it is still unknown to what extent this world will be brought.

    In such a mindless battle, the only results achieved by the NATO navy in the first day's attack were a few targets hit by cruise missiles. Other carrier-based aircraft were blocked from the land and did not complete an effective attack.  blow.  Even after more than an hour of tossing, the US military took the initiative to withdraw all carrier-based aircraft and stopped engaging in this senseless aerial battle.

    The air raid on the first day ended before evening, and NATO did not achieve any conspicuous results. Although the Yugoslav Air Force did not have much power to prevent the NATO allies from air strikes, the Chinese Air Force and Navy provided Yugoslavia with a great deal of strength.  of covering.  It was calculated that at least 130 Chinese fighter planes took off that day, using various indirect warfare methods to help the Yugoslav People's Army resist the NATO allies.

    When NATO allies dare not take the initiative to attack Chinese fighter jets, the main energy of NATO fighter jets is wasted in "playing" with Chinese fighter jets in the air. Even attack aircraft, bombers and other military aircraft with main strike missions are also defeated by Chinese fighter jets.  Being closely followed, there is no chance to launch an attack.

    Therefore, in the first day of air strikes, NATO only destroyed more than 20 military targets in Yugoslavia, and the strike effect was not good. For example, a Yugoslav People's Army military camp only suffered a pavement hit, which only caused some material damage.  , not even causing casualties.  To be fair, compared with the Gulf War that year, the blow Yugoslavia suffered during the air strikes on the first day of the Kosovo War was not unacceptable.

    However, Yugoslavia lost 8 YUG-5 fighters, 15 anti-aircraft missile launchers and two radar stations on the first day.  NATO's losses were greater than those of Yugoslavia. They even lost a US$1.1 billion B-2 Phantom bomber and a US$200 million F-22 fighter that day.  However, in terms of proportion, NATO's losses are far from being a casualty.

    Even so, NATO is still as uncomfortable as eating a fly, because China continues to invade the battlefield without restraint, and NATO has scruples about this, causing NATO to suffer a lot.  If the problem of China¡¯s troops stationed in the south, which is constantly asserting its presence, cannot be solved, NATO will not be able to fight this war.

    So NATO¡¯s North Atlantic Council held an emergency meeting that night to discuss whether to launch a joint attack on the Chinese troops stationed in the south.  At the same time, more Chinese fighter planes and ships were rushing towards Yugoslavia all day and night, and negotiations on the defense alliance agreement between China and Yugoslavia were also accelerating.
