The strongest pilot ever

Chapter 398
398 fighter jets hit missiles
After five consecutive days of test flight, Fade Chen finally obtained the extreme flight envelope for a human piloted J-[-].

With this data, the pilots behind will know the limit of the flight speed when they fly this fighter again. Where, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. The flight envelope data has laid a solid foundation for future pilot training.

However, Fade Chen's work is not over yet. His previous test flight was mainly to understand the maneuverability of the fighter jet, so next, he will test the combat performance of the fighter jet.

But the general inspection method is difficult to monitor, because the earth is generally peaceful now, and no country dares to challenge us, so this task is a bit difficult.

Of course, you can also set up drills such as the Red and Blue Army by yourself, but if you do this, it will not meet the requirements. Drills, after all, are drills, no matter how realistic they are, they cannot really be like actual combat.

However, the superior department found a wonderful method after research.

Fade Chen was called to a room with a high degree of secrecy.

A leader at the headquarters talked to him personally.

"Chief!" Fade Chen saluted the other party.

"Fade Chen, sit down!" The other party pointed to a small sofa.

Fade Chen sat down.

"Fade Chen, according to the information from the intelligence department, there will be ballistic missile tests in this area around twelve o'clock tonight."

The superior leader made a briefing about the situation one by one.

This mission is really exciting.

According to relevant information from the intelligence department, at midnight tonight, a ballistic missile will be tested in a certain place.

But we don't know more information. Of course, the main reason is that we don't want to know, so we didn't send relevant staff.

For example, which coordinate point the missile was launched at, what time it was, and what the missile's flight path was like, we all don't know.

But now, the superior department wanted Fade Chen to carry out a mission to destroy the launched ballistic missile. Of course, the whole process must be silent and absolutely confidential, and no one should know about it.

Therefore, when the other party finds that the ballistic missile launched by him has crashed at once, they may think that something is wrong, so they will not pursue it. Anyway, the missile exploded into pieces after landing, and all scattered on the sea. What ghost? I can't find it either.

If this mission can be successful, there is no doubt that it will be enough to prove the combat capability of the J-[-], and he can be sent to an alien world to perform actual combat missions.

This task is really mind-blowing.

There is no need to bear any consequences, and the combat performance of the J-[-] can be tested in actual combat. After hearing this, Fade Chen was very excited.

Use fighter jets to intercept missiles?

Gee!

It sounds so cool!

Theoretically speaking, it is feasible to use fighter jets to intercept missiles, not to mention the J-1.2, even those old fighter jets can do it, but those old fighter jets need a prerequisite, in the airspace of [-] meters, because in the In an airspace of [-] meters, the true speed of a ballistic missile with a thrust-to-weight ratio of around [-] actually does not exceed the speed of an air-to-air missile after it is launched from an aircraft.

Of course, Fade Chen is now driving the J-[-]. His weapon system, whether it is an electromagnetic cannon, a laser cannon or a microwave cannon, no matter where the ballistic missile is, it can be directly destroyed. There is no such thing as an old fighter jet. The problem of air-to-air missiles not being able to catch up to ballistic missiles.

Therefore, there is only one problem, and that is how Chen Fei found the missile, how to predict his course, and how to destroy it.

That night, at ten o'clock, Chen Fei was fully dressed, climbed up the boarding ladder, came to the cockpit and sat down.

One problem with flying the J-[-] is rather troublesome, that is, someone must help in the preparation stage, such as putting the helmet on the head and connecting the flight suit to the helmet, and then connecting other data cables to the flight suit one by one. Fei can't do it, because many data interfaces are on his shoulders, so it's hard for him to reach.

Everything is ready, Fade Chen said: "Bingbing, we are about to take off, close the canopy and complete the preparations before takeoff!"

With a creak, the completely transparent glass canopy slowly lowered and covered the top of the cockpit, and then the hatch was locked.

The air conditioner is turned on, the environmental control is turned on, the oxygen is turned on, the oxygen speed is adjusted to the value Fade Chen likes, the ejection safety is turned on, and the relevant self-checks are completed one by one. Every time an item is done, the artificial intelligence will report, such as " Turn on the air conditioner, the temperature is 18 degrees Celsius, the air conditioner is already on!" and so on.

Fade Chen was sitting in the cockpit, waiting like a master.

I have to admit that driving the J-[-] is really very comfortable. These small things in daily life can be completely handed over to the artificial intelligence Bingbing, and he only needs to move his hands when fighting.

No wonder there is an entertainment system on this fighter jet, which stores a large amount of music, novels, and movies. When he is bored, Fade Chen can take a look at these things. Movies and novels can be directly displayed on the display screen of the helmet.

Of course, for the health of the eyes, we still have to pay attention to a degree.

Maybe I can make a little movie in the future!

"Control tower, I'm taxiing out and taking off!" Fade Chen called.

"You can taxi out, runway [-] is cleared, and you can take off directly!"

Fade Chen then said to the fighter: "Bing Bing, slide out of the hangar to runway No. [-] and take off comfortably!"

"Good Colonel, comfortable takeoff on runway one!"

Fade Chen then leaned back on the seat, watching the huge J-300 fighter jet slowly slide out of the hangar, and then turned right onto the runway. When entering the entrance of the main runway, he began to push the throttle to accelerate, taxiing for [-] The joystick was pulled up by itself, and the plane flew into the air in a very relaxed and comfortable manner.

Fade Chen looked outside.

Due to the implementation of the blackout, it was pitch black outside, only the indicator lights were on, and he couldn't help feeling secretly, if the previous planes also had this system, damn it, how could they use it when they were in aviation school I'm training every day to take off and land at night.

Thinking about it, Fade Chen suddenly felt tense.

If the sixth-generation aircraft becomes popular on a large scale in the future, wouldn't pilots lose their jobs?

In the future, for low-intensity battles, drones such as Rainbow will be used, and for high-intensity battles, J-[-] will be used. What about pilots?
Hey!
Pilots don't really lose their jobs, do they?

Fade Chen was secretly worried.

After taking off, the J-[-] flew westward and flew for a long time before reaching the scheduled airspace.

Afterwards, the J-[-] closed the accelerator, slowed down, and hovered quietly at low altitude.

The low-altitude and low-speed performance of the J-[-] is very good, so it can be seen hovering steadily even at very low speeds.

Soon, the voice of the artificial intelligence sounded: "Colonel, we have arrived in the designated airspace, and now we are circling at low altitude. Please instruct us on the next step!"

Chen Feidao: "Immediately monitor the target area, and if you find a ballistic missile launch, report it immediately!"

"Understood!" the artificial intelligence replied.

ICBMs go through a propulsion acceleration phase after launch.

At the end of this phase, the booster will separate from the warhead (warhead), and the warhead will enter a thrustless suborbital flight, traveling in an elliptical orbit centered on the center of the Earth and intersecting the Earth's surface.

During this stage, the missile flies outside the atmosphere without releasing any signal to the outside world, and generally cannot be detected by the enemy.

Moreover, the flying speed of the missile at this stage is very high, making it difficult to intercept.Data show that many missiles will release various disturbances at this stage.

So if you want to destroy a ballistic missile, it must be in the launch phase.

Of course, it is possible for the J-[-] to destroy ballistic missiles outside the atmosphere, but it is more difficult to use drones or manned fighter jets.

To destroy ballistic missiles, the first step is to find the missiles.

The ballistic missile launched by detection is the ballistic missile early warning, which is mainly divided into three stages: detection, verification, and false alarm cancellation.

The first is the detection stage, which is mainly completed by a comprehensive early warning system composed of radar and satellites.

Radar is mainly a long-range radar. This kind of radar generally has a wavelength of about half a meter. The advantage is that it has a long range of action. The disadvantage is that the tracking accuracy is poor and it cannot provide accurate data, so it is used as a warning radar.

In addition to radar, only satellites can be relied on.

Early warning satellites use high-sensitivity infrared detectors to detect ballistic missiles by detecting the tail flames of ballistic missiles when they are launched, but the disadvantages are that the false alarm rate is relatively high, and the ability to recognize natural phenomena such as sunlight, meteorites, fires, and volcanic eruptions is low.

Nowadays, it is common to upgrade the program of infrared detection equipment to filter out large-scale, low-calorie, and short-term infrared signals to reduce the false alarm rate, but the effect is not very obvious.

Therefore, the early warning satellite must continue to scan, and in the next several scan cycles, perform feature recognition and trajectory fitting on the discovered infrared targets in order to filter out most false alarm targets.

For example, wildfires and oil wells are not considered threatening because they are immobile.Ballistic missiles are moving targets, so a trajectory will be drawn on the background of the earth, and only when the target is drawn with such a trajectory and its velocity is estimated to meet the warning conditions will it be alerted, and the decision-making department will combine other means (such as radar) to confirm.

But now, our army has developed an advanced early warning system. This system relies on artificial intelligence and big data to integrate and calculate the data detected by various departments and units. Through massive data deduction, repeated demonstrations, and finally determined Whether the target is a ballistic missile.

Fade Chen hovered in the designated airspace for a while, and the voice of artificial intelligence sounded: "Colonel, we found the target!"

After hearing this, Fade Chen was refreshed. He immediately sat up straight and said to the artificial intelligence: "Turn on the multi-function display to display the relevant situation!"

"Yes, Colonel!"

Soon, the large curved screen that had been dim in front of Fade Chen lit up, and soon, the launch site appeared on the left side of the screen. Sure enough, a missile flew into the air. Ballistic data are displayed one by one.

"Calculate the best ambush point!" Fade Chen ordered.

"Good Colonel!" The human could only answer.

After about three or four seconds, a voice sounded: "Colonel, the best ambush point has been calculated!"

The relevant results were displayed on Fade Chen's helmet eyepiece. Fade Chen thought for a while and felt that there was no problem, so he said: "Bingbing, set a new route and enter the ambush point!"

"understand!"

After a while, a wonderful ambush route appeared on the multi-function display in front of Fade Chen. Fade Chen looked at it and felt that there was no problem, so he said to the headquarters: "Fortress, I'm going out, the travel route has been closed. I sent it to you, there should be no problem!"

After a while, the command post said: "Dongyao, we have already checked, and there is no problem with the route. I wish you a smooth trip, over!"

"Understood." Fade Chen replied.

After that, he let the artificial intelligence fly the fighter jet to the ambush airspace.

He was standing right above his early warning radar, but he couldn't see anything.

After waiting for two or three minutes, the voice of artificial intelligence sounded: "Colonel, the target is still ten seconds away!"

Fade Chen quickly issued a bunch of instructions: "Bingbing, turn on the main switch of the weapon, activate the microwave cannon, set the microwave cannon to the second gear, preheat the laser cannon and the electromagnetic gun together, set the laser cannon to the first gear, and the electromagnetic gun to the second gear! Turn on the radar , and track the target!"

How to attack that ballistic missile, Fade Chen thought for a long time. In the end, he felt that the best solution was to use two cannonballs, first to fire a microwave cannon. The microwave cannon does not need extremely high precision and can strike in a large area. , so first destroy the seeker of the missile with a microwave cannon, so that the missile loses contact with the ground and becomes a headless fly, and then completely destroys the missile body with an electromagnetic cannon or a laser cannon. This plan should Relatively reliable.

Soon, the voice of artificial intelligence sounded: "Colonel, the target has been locked, do you want to attack?"

Fade Chen quietly looked at the data that kept beating on the eyepiece of the helmet.

Although the microwave cannon can attack in a large area, Fade Chen didn't intend to use too much energy in order to save energy, so he had to carefully calculate the distance and attack direction. After waiting for about four or five seconds, he said: "The microwave cannon , Second attack!"

On the side of the nose of the J-[-], a strange part turned around quietly, and then shot out a burst of microwave radiation with a whoosh.

The electronic components inside the seeker of the missile being launched were destroyed in one click.

Fade Chen stared at the missile's flight attitude data, and after three or four seconds, he said: "The radar locks on to the warhead of the missile, and fires the electromagnetic gun, in second gear, one shot at a time!"

After a while, with a bang, an electromagnetic artillery shell with a high-strength warhead flew out of the J-[-], and quickly hit the warhead. With a bang, a big fireball exploded in the air.

At this time, somewhere on the ground.

Some officers stood up from their seats at once. Everyone raised their hands and looked at the big screen in disbelief.

Failed?
Failed!
Did the missile launch fail?
how could it be possible!
Has our upgrade plan failed?
But!
But it shouldn't!

Everyone was dumbfounded and at a loss.
