Chapter 215 Discovery of Alien Fighter Formation
215 Discovery of Alien Fighter Formation
This time, it was the Air Police 500 who cooperated with Fade Chen and the others to carry out the cruise mission.
This is the new equipment approved by Zhang Yunlong and Zhao Gang after multiple applications.

It has only been delivered to the base for a few days.

Air Police 500 is a product of China Electronics Technology Group, one of China's largest defense companies. It is an early warning control aircraft developed based on the airframe of the Shaanxi Airline Yun-9 medium-sized turboprop transport aircraft.

The aircraft's radar system uses an electronically scanned phased array radar, so the radome will not rotate like the KJ-2000.Because inside the radome of KJ-500, multiple active electronically scanned array radars are installed in the radome in a triangular arrangement, and electronic scanning is used instead of mechanical rotation to provide a 360-degree scanning range without dead ends.

中国电科研发的空警-500的雷达和空警-2000的雷达相比, 更小、更轻。不过，采用涡桨发动机为动力的运9中型运输机来搭载，比采用俄罗斯伊尔-76大型运输机来搭载雷达的空警-2000飞行时间和飞行距离都少了不少，空警-500一次加油的连续飞行时间约为5小时。

So what Zhang Yunlong actually wants is a more advanced early warning aircraft, that is, the one that is said to be based on the Yun-20 platform, based on the Yun-20 and developed on the basis of the KJ-500 radar.It's a pity that there are still very few early warning aircraft of that kind, and the Pingchuan base is not available for the time being, so Zhang Yunlong had no choice but to take over the Air Police 500.

After Fade Chen and the others flew forward for about 10 minutes, the voice of the early warning aircraft suddenly sounded: "Yaodongyao, an unidentified aircraft was found at azimuth 329, a batch of three, 240 kilometers away from you, and now I order you to go out immediately to reconnaissance. Situation, over!"

"Yaodongyao understands that an unidentified aircraft was found at azimuth 329, a batch of three, a distance of 240 kilometers, immediately go out to investigate and find out the situation, it's over!"

Fade Chen replied, and then received the route sent by the early warning aircraft.

The four of them turned in unison and flew towards the 329 direction.

After flying forward for a while, Li Zailong asked, "Yaodongyao, do you want to turn on the fire control radar?"

"No need for the time being, the Yellow River will follow us to the past, turn on the photoelectric detection first when we reach the appropriate distance, it's over!"

"understand!"

The four fighters increased their speed together, and flew towards the target at a speed of [-] kilometers per hour.

During this period of time, the second route was relatively calm, and the previous large-scale invasion situation has been temporarily relieved, but no one dared to be careless. Neither the Pingchuan base nor any bases relaxed their vigilance. On the contrary, everyone's nerves were tense than before. Yes, because relevant evidence shows that a larger and more tragic air battle is likely to come.

Chen Fei speculates that the country where the airspace he entered before has probably defeated the enemy's attack and gained a temporary respite. Taking this opportunity, they will seize the time to invade the earth and try to get a base as soon as possible. Control, so that when a crisis occurs later, they will have room to change.

Of course, these were all guesses by Fade Chen. He didn't know if it was true or not.

At this time, the airspace they are going to is far away from their Pingchuan base, and it was difficult to take care of it before. Recently, because the superior has sent the latest early warning aircraft Air Police 500 to join in, it is possible to monitor that area. However, Because there is only one early warning aircraft, but it has to conduct police patrols in the airspace with a radius of nearly [-] kilometers, it is still very difficult, and many places cannot be taken care of.

After flying forward for a while, the AWACS reported the latest situation again, and Fade Chen ordered: "Turn on the photoelectric detection! It's over!"

"Understood, turn on the photoelectric detection!" Everyone replied.

The photoelectric detection systems of the four fighters were turned on one after another, and the target airspace was scanned in different areas. Soon, the scanning results were displayed on the multi-function display screen through the data link. Fade Chen took a look and found that it was a formation of three aircraft. After identification by IFF, the three targets are temporarily set as red enemy aircraft.

"Yaodongyao, keep the heading, approach from the side and back, approach at low altitude, don't turn on the fire control radar. I will monitor other directions, over." Someone in the early warning aircraft said.

"Understood, low altitude, approach from the side and back, don't turn on the radar!" Fade Chen replied.

The four fighter planes pressed the bar together and swooped down towards the mountains below. When the fighter planes sank into the valley in the middle of the mountains, they all recovered together. Fortunately, this section of the valley is relatively wide, so the four fighter planes flew side by side. OK.

The four fighters quickly approached from low altitude, and chased after the three alien fighters.

The reason for doing this is that both the AWACS and Fade Chen felt that the three alien fighters probably had other companions. In other words, they were probably just a feint, because when the AWACS was tracking them, they also It should have received the radar wave speed of the early warning aircraft, so they want to test us to see if there will be any reaction here, whether to send fighter jets over there, or just watch from a distance, so their attack planes are likely to hide In a corner, waiting to see the next development.

Using front-line tactical aircraft to cover attack aircraft is a common method used by the Air Force, and people like to do it no matter whether it is ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign.

"Yaodongyao, what do you think the target of these three alien fighters will be?" Li Zailong's voice sounded in the channel.

"I don't know. There are no airports, surface-to-air missile positions, or urban agglomerations in this area, so I don't know what they are going to do here." Fade Chen answered truthfully.

In the past, once the alien warplanes came out of the space tunnel, they usually went straight to the urban agglomeration in the south, either the Pingchuan military base in the south or another base in the north. Anyway, the purpose was very clear, either bombing the city or Attack the air force base, or the ground missile force, but this time, their route is a bit weird, not facing south or north, but west, but as far as Fade Chen knows, there is nothing in that area.

However, the intention of the alien warplanes also arouses vigilance, because that area belongs to the Pingchuan base and the military base in the north, which are hard to reach. Monitoring, and the mountains in that area are higher and the terrain is more complicated.

"Could they be detecting ground radar troops!" Someone said suddenly.

It's also possible that they fly over there, and if there's a ground radar in that area, or if the Army's surface-to-air missile sites happen to be turned on, they can just measure the positions of those sites to gather data for future attacks .

However, Chen Fei had a feeling in his heart that the other party seemed to be not that simple.

"Could it be that there is a new space tunnel there?" Fade Chen frowned, but he quickly rejected this idea, which is unlikely.

Alien fighters are much more cunning now, they won't make trouble near the entrance and exit of the space tunnel, they will hide the location of the entrance and exit very deeply, and even spend a lot of energy to conceal it.
