The seven hundred and seventieth eight chapters bloody Baraka (8)
When the PLA's J-10C opened up after the force and attacked the US F-15 squadron, most of the US pilots had not yet reacted to what was going on. In order to pose a strong threat to the PLA fighter jets, they often had very close distances to the PLA fighter jets, almost all of them were close to the kill range of the medium-range missiles of both sides.
Although in terms of performance analysis, the F-15E/F fighter jets are no longer as good as the J-10C, the US pilot dominated the sky for almost a century, and has formed a psychologically deep-rooted superiority mentality. I never thought that anyone would dare to attack them first.
In this way, when the J-10C fighter turned on the afterburner and entered the supersonic flight state, the PLA J-10C fighter entered the range where it could launch an attack. Then all fighters turned on the fire-controlled radar almost at the same time, activated the theater joint combat tactical system, and automatically locked the F-15 fighter jets in front of them with fire-controlled radars.
It was not until this time that the US pilots woke up from their dreams that the fighter was already targeted by their opponents. While they hurriedly reported the attack information to the headquarters, they rushed to turn on the fighter's after-force and began to enter supersonic state for high-speed maneuvering and avoid it, and at the same time fired a series of decoys from the ground.
Unfortunately, under the attack of Pili-10 medium-range missiles that kept coming from the sky, the US military's action seemed a bit too late. After the Diaoyutai air combat, the PLA's air force theater joint combat intelligent system has collected enough performance data of the US F-15E/F fighter jets. It has long been well aware of the various tactics of this type of fighter jet. The intelligent system has long formulated a complete attack plan for the locked targets, either 2 or 3 Pili-10 medium-range missiles blocked the most likely position of the US F-15 fighter jets.
In addition, most of the pilots used almost all of their most familiar instinctive evasion actions. Therefore, after the first round of attacks, the US F-15 squadron was left with only a few lonely aircraft, but their good luck did not last long. In the second round of attacks, they turned into fireworks and bloomed on the blue sky over Burundi.
If the two sides fought with open guns, even if the F-15 squadron of the US military was inferior to the J-10C Flight Regiment of the PLA, the results of the battle would not be so different. Almost all US fighters were annihilated before they could launch a missile. However, the US military was too arrogant beforehand. They approached the PLA's J-10C fighter jets unscrupulously and put intensified pressure, thinking that the PLA would never dare to declare the battle. There was no way, knowing that the PLA launched an attack unilaterally. Of course, the US military did not know that this was the personal behavior of the PLA's front-line commander Song Jihong. In order to seize the fighter jets, let the PLA stand on its feet in Africa, Song Jihong took all his bets and ordered an attack without authorization.
Now, from a military perspective, the PLA's adventure has achieved great success. A squadron of the US military's F-15 fighter jet was wiped out. After completing this combat mission, the PLA's J-10C fighter jets began to return without any nostalgia. They set out for so long, and with the afterburner turned on and into supersonic combat, the fuel consumption has basically reached the limit of the combat range. If they do not return, they can only land near Kigoma or Mpanda for refueling.
More importantly, after two rounds of combat, most of the Pili-10 medium-range missiles in the entire fleet have been consumed. If the US F-35 fighter jets refuel and come over, the remaining fighting missiles in the J-10C fleet will not be the opponent at all. With the F-35 supersonic high maneuverability and no long-range attack medium-range missiles, J-10C fighter jets, which have high maneuverability in the F-35, are the targets of the F-35 fighter jets.
Lieutenant General Reilly and Nick Zirand of the U.S. Army Command in Nairobi were all sitting down dejectedly. They did not expect that at this critical moment, the PLA would suddenly attack. The F-15E/F of a squadron was destroyed in the blink of an eye, and the PLA Air Force retreated unscathed, although Lieutenant General Reilly and Nick Zirand had overestimated the PLA's J-10C fighter jets in advance. After the F-16C/D fighter jets in Uganda were completely destroyed, Nick Zirand even proposed a retreat.
However, neither of them expected that the People's Liberation Army's attack could be so sharp. With one move, it was to launch a long-range attack with a mid-range missile in the sky. This saturated attack method was encountered by the US military in Diaoyutai and in Persia. Lieutenant General Reilly is not unfamiliar with it, but the attack effect is so efficient, which makes Lieutenant General Reilly feel a little crying and tears.
Although the US military is still the world's largest military power, and the air force is far ahead in terms of the number and quality of fighter jets, there are too many places for the US military to use troops. Now the Western Pacific region has concentrated most of the US naval and air force forces, and the Persian Gulf war has been unable to be concluded and a lot of US military forces have been involved. Therefore, the F-15 squadron stationed in Nairobi was also coordinated by Lieutenant General Riley to fight against the People's Liberation Army Air Force in Tanzania.
But who would have thought that the entire army would be destroyed in the blink of an eye. Even the F-35 squadron could not do better. In other words, an F-35 squadron is no longer a rival to the PLA flight regiment. In order to fight against the PLA flight regiment, Lieutenant General Reilly had to retain at least two squadrons in Nairobi to gain a limited air advantage.
Facts have proved that the old third-generation fighter jets of the US military, whether the F-16C/D or F-15E/F, are no longer opponents of the PLA J-10C. After all, these models are products of the US military that are less than half a century ago, and they can no longer keep up with the pace of the changing PLA Air Force fighter jets in avionics and combat systems.
Although the PLA J-10C attack was a factor this time, in Lieutenant General Reilly's view, the more important factor is that it is significantly better than the US F-15E/F in combat systems, because the PLA can actually distribute the firepower to each combat target extremely intelligently when launching saturated long-range over-visual attacks. Obviously, the PLA aircraft group has implemented a shared intelligent system to achieve this efficient attack method. This is a function that the US F-22/F-35 fighter jets do not yet have.
According to previous research by the US military, in response to this tactical method, only by using the advantages of stealth fighters' over-visual range attack and high maneuverability, and widening the distance for over-visual range combat can we gain the upper hand. After all, the PLA's third-generation and a half-generation fighter has inherent disadvantages in radar launch area and supersonic cruise, and is more likely to be radar-locked by the fourth-generation fighter at long-range radar.
However, now, Lieutenant General Reilly and Nick Zirand do not have the capital. He came to help fight the F-35 squadron from Saudi base, and now he dared not let them attack the People's Liberation Army without saying anything.
