    The stealth performance of the US military B2 is indeed good, and because China and the United States had exchanges on this during the honeymoon period, the radar reflection cross-section area of ????the F22 is smaller than that of the other plane.  This kind of B2 is worthy of the name of stealth killer. In the internal comparisons of the US military and the battles of the NATO Tiger Club, the B2 has almost no opponents, and can beat all other fighters to pieces.

    Even though the B2 suffered certain losses in the One-Day War in Kosovo, the US Air Force did not blame the B2's poor performance, but found other reasons to excuse it.  The production of B2 has been going on continuously. The US military is engaged in an arms race with China at its own level. It is impossible to build the L2 aircraft and then stop producing them.  Even though the cost of the B2 is close to 200 million US dollars, the Americans are gritting their teeth and are constantly stepping up the purchase of more of this type of fighter aircraft to counter the growing fleet of fifth-generation aircraft of the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation.

    The enemy designated by the US military for B2 is actually China's J-LL Black Hawk fighter. However, China's other two stealth fighters, the J-2E and J-I, are not even considered by Americans because the J-20 feels more like  A fighter-bomber and the J-L is an order of magnitude lighter.  As for China's fourth-generation and fourth-and-a-half-generation fighters, Americans are simply dismissive of them, believing that the performance of the B2 is enough to kill these fighters instantly.

    The air battle that broke out in the Arabian Sea was an opportunity to test the Americans' ideas. Although the number of the US B2 fleet was slightly less than the number of China HNA's J-16s, both the rear commanders and the forward pilots believed that they could win.  Next fight.

    B2 first discovered the Chinese Air Police 260 early warning aircraft cruising in this airspace on the radar. Although the Air Police 260 is China's main airborne early warning platform, its anti-stealth capabilities are still slightly inferior and are far inferior to those built in China.  Anti-stealth radar stations and mobile radars.  After confirming that this was a Chinese early warning aircraft, the American pilots were very excited. This was like a big cake waiting for them to eat. However, if they wanted to eat it, they had to fly closer because the AIM2UC used by the B2  The range of the missile is not enough to hit China's early warning aircraft at a distance of more than 180 kilometers.

    However, when B2 flew into the Chinese early warning aircraft at high speed and attempted to attack it, the multi-band phased array radar equipped with the Chinese Type 056 cruiser cruising on the sea discovered the existence of B2 and reported it to the air for patrol through the data link.  early warning aircraft and escorting HNA fighter jets.

    Ten J-6 fighter jets responded immediately and intercepted the US fighter jet.  Although the J-6's radar did not catch these B2 Raptors, the multi-band radar on the cruiser provided them with the target and direction of attack. Under this relay guidance situation, the J-6 launched their missiles with a range of up to  20km pL-2X missile.

    The pL-2X long-range air-to-air missile is actually a long-range attack air-to-air missile developed by the Luoyang Air-to-Air Missile Research Institute (2) on the basis of the Pili-2 missile, absorbing some technologies and concepts of China's improved version of the Phoenix, and remixing it.  missile.  However, compared with missiles such as pL-13 and pL-14, they are still of the previous generation. They are slightly larger and take up more space. When mounted in the internal bomb bay of a stealth fighter, the Black Hawk can only mount four.

    However, the pL-2X missile provides Chinese fighters with the ability to attack enemy fighters at long distances. Unlike the Phoenix, which has a limited hit rate after 20 kilometers, the pL-2X is very intelligent and can automatically correct itself after missing the target.  Locate the enemy and attack.

    Good fighters are important, but good missiles are equally important.  Relying on the deadly weapon of pL-2X, the J-6 has gained the upper hand. As a bomb truck, the J-6 can mount 2 air-to-air missiles if mounted with air superiority. Of course, it will not mount so many under normal circumstances.  The J-6 fleet fired more than a dozen pL-2X missiles at once. After remembering B2's alarm, the B2s made various evasions, but two missiles still hit B2 and directly shot it down.

    After evading this round of fatal attacks, B2 also relied on its own radar to catch the J-6 fighter. The Raptor fighter, eager for revenge, also released multiple AIM2UC missiles, although it was still slightly inferior to the Chinese pL-2X.  , but this missile is also a weapon in air combat.

    B2's PB attack was also successful. Two J-6s were shot down by AIM2UC after being unable to evade. Counting from 192 onwards, Chinese fighter planes were rarely shot down by the enemy in the BVP method in actual combat. Of course, this was mainly because  The enemy is relatively weak.  PB's style of play now basically depends on the performance of the missile. Active radar missiles can attack the enemy on their own on the battlefield. All the fighter planes need is an initial guidance.

    After a round of mutual beyond-visual-range combat, the two sides basically entered the distance of a dog fight, and the two sides began to chase each other in the sky without giving in.  In a dog fight, the B2 Raptor's stealth advantage no longer exists, but its superior maneuverability cannot be ignored.  Naturally, the maneuverability of the J-6 is equally terrifying. The J-6 from the Flanker family has excellent aerodynamic appearance and can fly many incredible moves. Not only does it look good during performances, many of its moves are also more effective in actual combat.

    The B2 pilot is in the US military?It can be regarded as outstanding, and the J-6 pilots are also experienced. The two sides fought against each other and conducted a very exciting air battle in the air.  The J-6s first took advantage of their numerical advantage and attempted to besiege the B2. However, the B2 relied on its flexible maneuvers to continuously get rid of the J-6's interception, and even a B2 did not lose in a one-on-one battle.

    Even after breaking away from the pursuit of two J-16s at high speed, this B2 used a beautiful mid-air pull to launch a missile and hit a J-16, giving the US military a slight advantage.  However, this advantage was quickly eliminated by the J-6. After all, the J-6 was not inferior to the B2 in terms of dogfighting capabilities. The two B2s pursued by the J-6 were shot down one after another, and the entanglement ratio in the sky became 2.  There is already quite a disparity.

    At the critical moment, the ace US military pilot and his wingman broke away at high speed and flew into Indian airspace to avoid the J-6's pursuit. The J-6 followed the two B2s all the way into Indian airspace. In the end, because of India's  Forced to retreat due to anti-aircraft fire, two B2s also successfully landed at the Indian airport.

    The exchange ratio of this air battle was 4B. The US military lost a bit. However, the US military insisted that because China had more fighter planes at the beginning, China HNA was in an advantageous position. Such a battle does not mean anything. If the two sides were evenly matched, it should be  A situation more favorable to the U.S. military will emerge.

    What worries the U.S. military is that it initially thought that only the Black Hawk could compete with the B2, but now facts have shown that China's fourth-and-a-half-generation fighter jets are not bad in performance. They may be a little worse than the B2, but this little bit  It is not enough for B2 to have a one-sided battle situation.

    What worries the U.S. military even more is that China obviously has a larger fleet. Whether it is the Air Force or Hainan Airlines, it is common for hundreds of fighter jets to be deployed on a battlefield, and the U.S. military is somewhat accustomed to fighting local wars.  With so many routes, it is still difficult to mobilize so many fighters at every turn.

    But the Americans are also smart and plan to bring their NATO brothers together to offset the numerical advantage of the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation.  Even though some countries shied away and were unwilling to get involved in the war so soon, the United States still received support from more than 20 fighter jets from Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain, preparing to deploy them in India to confront the Chinese.

    Although the leading force of the US air strike on Gwadar suffered a setback, more fighter planes later arrived near the war zone, and China has already grasped their movements through Air Police 260. A large number of shore-based aviation J-16s and the Sichuan have already sailed  The B14 fighters on the aircraft carrier intercepted these US military aircraft one after another.

    The scale of this air battle is relatively rare after World War II. Dozens of US military fighter jets and ten PL fighter jets are constantly fighting in the vast airspace of the Arabian Sea and Pakistan. Fighters are constantly falling from the sky.  In this unprecedented air battle, the B14s of the United States and China competed with each other. The Tomcats with different paints and military emblems, each their own master, launched a desperate struggle against the other.

    In terms of performance, the performance of China's red Tomcat B14CN is naturally slightly stronger. Although the United States later upgraded the B14 to B14B, it is still weaker than the fourth-generation B14CN, especially in terms of power. The B14CN is a vector engine, and  Although the B14B engine thrust has been increased, it is still an ordinary engine.

    So you can see that the red tomcat can make some super maneuverable moves without listening, while the American tomcat can only stare.

    US bombers were also among them, hoping to take advantage of the chaos to carry out air strikes on Gwadar. However, it was obvious that Chinese fighter planes were more concerned about these bombers and paid special attention to them. Even in the face of obstruction by American fighter planes, Chinese fighter planes boldly attacked them.  , and their partners followed up to counterattack the US fighter jets.

    The plan to launch an air strike on Gwadar ultimately failed. The U.S. military¡¯s tactical input was still somewhat insufficient, and China¡¯s defense of Gwadar was too strong.  The US military eventually lost more than 30 fighters and 6 bombers over the Arabian Sea, while the Chinese Navy lost 7 fighters. This exchange made the Americans unable to sit still.

    George W. Bush directly overstepped the military's instructions from the front-line headquarters. Before it was determined that the scale of his own combat power exceeded the scale of China's combat power, hasty actions were not allowed to avoid causing serious damage.  On the other hand, the US military is working harder to deploy various combat forces to the Indian Ocean theater, because the US military has deeply realized that China is definitely not a cat or a dog, nor is it the paper tiger they imagined before. If it wants to win, it must be willing to spend money.
