Ballistic Silence of Special Years

South of Xianlai Island.

The anti-submarine aircraft fleet is approaching the prevention and control area of ​​the No. 001 aircraft carrier formation at the fastest speed.

Just when the fleet had just entered the range of the 052D air defense interception network, the warning sound from the early warning radar sounded in the cockpit of the two Z-18F anti-submarine aircraft that fell at the rear, and the red warning lights kept flashing.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on the pilot's forehead.

This means that an enemy aircraft has locked onto itself with fire control radar.

Suddenly, two yellow dots appeared on the early warning radar screen ahead, both coming from his 5 o'clock direction, followed by the warning sound becoming more and more urgent.

This means that the other party has launched two missiles at itself.

When the early warning radar detects an enemy radar signal, it also transmits the information to the pilot through the audio system. Early warning radar converts enemy radar signals into different tones and rhythms, allowing pilots to identify enemy radar types and patterns by sound.

Generally speaking, if the sound plays once or intermittently, it means that the enemy radar is only scanning the machine in search mode; if the sound plays continuously, it means that the enemy radar has locked the machine in tracking mode.

In some cases, early warning radars can also tell whether the enemy radar is in launch mode (sending radar data to a passive radar-guided missile) or if the enemy missile is an active radar-guided missile.

In both cases, the early warning radar plays a unique missile launch tone and advises the pilot to take immediate action to deal with the threat.

Without any hesitation, the main pilot began to control the aircraft to make large-angle maneuvers, while the co-pilot pressed the launch button of the thermal decoy bomb as quickly as possible.

The heat-decoy bomb launchers under the bellies of the two Z-18F aircraft began to continuously erupt orange-red heat-decoy bombs toward both sides of the fuselage, as brilliant as fireworks.

Almost at the same time, the KJ-500's radar, which was two hundred kilometers away, had already captured two F35As that had entered the anti-submarine zone. While issuing a warning to the helicopters, the KJ-500 turned on the electronic countermeasures mode to target the helicopters. F35A implements suppression.

At the same time, the early warning aircraft also sent the missile's tracking trajectory and coordinates to the 052D destroyer closest to the anti-submarine aircraft group.

Six HHQ-9Bs took off in the shortest time and pounced on the incoming missiles.

The pilots on the two F35As entering the anti-submarine zone were in a state of hunting excitement.

In the face of low-speed and defenseless anti-submarine helicopters, they were as unscrupulous as wolves rushing into a herd of sheep.

"Kill them all!"

"understand!"

The two aircraft formed a tactical formation, one on the left and one on the right, and fired four AIM-18D medium-range air-to-air missiles at the two closest Z-120Fs.

"Be careful not to enter their anti-aircraft interception circle!"

The lead aircraft did not forget to remind the wingman.

He noticed that he was now only 001 kilometers away from the edge of the 90 aircraft carrier formation's air defense interception network.

If it is correct, it is safe for them to enter the edge of the prevention and control area. Once they find themselves locked, they can immediately turn around and use extra force to escape and fly out of the range of the HHQ-9B.

But be careful sailing for thousands of years.

They don't want to get into trouble and experience the interception limit of HHQ-9B for themselves.

"understand!"

The wingman replied: "I suggest continuing to pursue forward and attack the other two helicopters at the edge of their defense circle. This will yield more gains!"

The lead pilot knew in his heart that their mission this time was to shoot down as many red maritime anti-submarine aircraft as possible. The more they shot down, the safer the No. 01 submarine would be.

"Okay, please control your distance!"

"Don't worry! I won't give them a chance!"

After the conversation was completed, the two F35As immediately accelerated and flew forward.

Four AIM-120Ds are enough to take down two Z-18Fs, and they are more than enough.

Even though the Z-18F can fire heat decoys, in actual air combat, as long as the fighter jet is locked and fired with fighting bombs, it has almost no chance of survival.

There will never be a scene like in the movie where you spray hot bombs while using various maneuvers to escape.

Moreover, in any air-to-air combat, the missile has a no-escape zone. As long as it is locked in this zone, even if you are the winner of the lottery, you can only parachute, otherwise you will be blown to pieces. Scum.

Four AIM-120Ds arrived in an instant.

A Z-18F that was continuously firing heat decoys was unfortunately hit. The fuselage exploded in the air and fragments splashed into the sea.

Seeing the sacrifice of his comrades, there was silence in the command room of the No. 001 aircraft carrier formation.

Everyone's heart is heavy.

Everyone focused their attention on another Z-18F.

The crew members on the second Z-18F anti-submarine aircraft were disheartened at this time. Everyone knew that it would be difficult to survive this time, but at this time, they felt calm.

Since there is no way to avoid it, face death head on.

As long as death is not taken seriously, death cannot scare anyone.

In the cabin, the alarm sound has become extremely urgent, and even sounds continuously.

This means that the missile is getting closer.

The end may come in just a few seconds.

Suddenly, everyone heard a faint explosion.

Everyone in the anti-submarine team sitting in the cabin subconsciously closed their eyes.

But they soon realized something was wrong.

I didn't die.

The helicopter is still flying.

and was not shot down.

Someone rushed to the porthole and looked out through the glass.

Under the blue sky and white clouds in the distance, a huge spherical smoke ball lingered in the air for a long time.

That was the remaining smoke left after the AIM-120D medium-range air-to-air bomb was successfully intercepted and exploded by the HHQ-9B.

“We’re fine!”     “Great!”

"When we get back to the boat, I want to ask who fired the bomb, and I want to hug him and kiss him hard!"

The atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.

But soon, the situation took a turn for the worse.

The warning sound of the early warning radar suddenly sounded in the cabin again.

This means that the helicopter is locked again.

At this time, all the thermal decoys were gone, and the last life-saving straw was gone.

Everyone understood that the enemy planes that had shot down their comrades before had locked onto them again.

Just when the Z-18F crew members were despairing, four J35s arrived in a two-plane tactical formation at the eight o'clock position of the two F20As.

"Yao Dong Yao, enemy situation! Bearing 321, distance 120, altitude 800, head on, head on..."

In the J20 formation leader's aircraft, the data link information sent by the KJ-500 early warning aircraft came from the formation leader's earphone.

The pilots of the two groups immediately switched to PL-15 air-to-air missile combat mode.

On the screen in front of you, on the right is the location information of the enemy aircraft in the data link shared by the early warning aircraft. Below is the radar. The pilot adjusts the radar pitch antenna and searches for the enemy aircraft's location.

Soon, relying on the accurate information provided by the early warning aircraft, two small yellow triangles appeared on the radar.

This is the location of the enemy plane!

The pilot quickly selected and locked onto the opponent.

The screen on the right shows that there are two F35A in front. The current status is a beyond-visual-range attack. In this attack mode, it is best to gain a height advantage first.

At this time, the F35A was attacking the anti-submarine helicopter at an altitude of 800 meters, so the pilot decided to raise his altitude to 1200 meters.

"Raise it to 1200 meters."

The J20 pilot on the red team said as he began to gently pull the control stick to raise the J20 to the predetermined height.

At this time, on the two F35As, Huang Fang's pilot suddenly heard a harsh warning tone coming from his earphones.

"Locked! Evaded! Locked! Evaded!"

Pilot Huang Fang immediately became furious.

He subconsciously looked back left and right.

There is no red plane within sight.

This means that the other party appears behind you without knowing it.

But at this time, our own early warning aircraft in the earphones didn't respond at all!

How is this going!

Pilot Huang Fang suddenly thought of something - J20!

Earlier, the early warning aircraft provided intelligence that the red side took off a group of aircraft flying towards Xianlai Island, predicting that they were going to intercept their own J15 fighter formation.

Ordinarily they wouldn't come here.

After all, he flew low over the sea and then entered the anti-submarine zone before launching an attack. It would be impossible for the red team to dispatch aircraft when they discovered themselves!

Especially how come there is a J001 on the red team’s aircraft carrier No. 20? !

If it was a J20, it must have taken off from the red side's coastal airport. Then why didn't our own early warning aircraft inform us in advance that a red side fighter jet was already heading here?

Everything can only be reasonably explained by J20.

The opponent is also a stealth fighter and can also avoid its own early warning aircraft.

But the question is, how was he discovered early? !

Obviously, the red team knew their flight direction in advance, so they sent J20 to rescue those Z-18Fs!

"Damn it!"

The lead pilot made a quick decision.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly! Go back and join our formation!"

It is unrealistic to escape back to that wave of bases, as they will be shot down before they even reach the base.

After all, the F35A is not as fast as the J20.

The only hope is to join the F15 fleet.

Relying on our numerical advantage, approaching the early warning aircraft and the location of our home port, there may be a glimmer of hope!

The two F35As no longer care about hunting the red team's Z-18F at this time.

After all, the purchase price of an F35A is 1.6 million dollars, and losing one is a huge loss.

On this side, a formation of four J4s also discovered the F20A pilot's intentions.

"They want to escape."

"dream!"

"Flight crew, 2VS1, I want the east one."

"I'm in charge of the one on the west side."

After a brief exchange between the four J4s, they quickly separated into two tactical formations and turned on their afterburners to catch up.

The speed of the J20 with afterburner is Mach 2.5, while the maximum flight speed of the F35A is only Mach 1.6, which is not at the same level at all.

In fact, the F35A is now within the range, but despite the fact that the F35A, nicknamed Feidian, does not fly very fast, its airborne electronic equipment is very advanced. They have upgraded the electronic system with countermeasures capabilities, and can attack incoming attacks within a certain range. missiles to interfere.

Therefore, you must let the opponent enter the no-escape zone of your PL-15 air-to-air missile.

After a minute, the pilot glanced at the screen.

The distance to the F35A has been shortened to 74 kilometers.

it's time!

The red J20 pilot pressed the launch button without any hesitation. The two PL-15 medium-range air-to-air missiles sprayed cheerful tail flames and pounced on the unlucky F35A with vengeful fury. (End of chapter)
