The night is slowly hanging down like a heavy curtain, stars are twinkling between the sparse clouds, and the silent night sky above London is being quietly torn apart by an unprecedented air battle.
The F-16 fighter squadron to which Night Falcon No. 4561 belongs, a total of 24 fighters, are like falcons in the dark night, quietly spreading out, forming a tight fan-shaped formation hovering in the night sky. Each squadron maintains close tactical coordination and prepares
Meet unknown challenges.
"Attention squadron, the enemy situation has been updated!"
In the tactical channel, the correspondent's voice was urgent and firm, and the information was quickly conveyed to each pilot through the radio: "The UFO is 22 miles away from us and has an altitude of about 18,000 feet. It is initially judged that it has a non-traditional weapon system and is extremely threatening."
"
"Copy that, all aircraft are preparing to launch AIM-120 missiles." The calm voice of the squadron leader came through the earphones, like a needle in the sea, stabilizing the tense atmosphere in the team.
Night Falcon 4561 quickly locked on the target that was already in the red box of the fire control radar. With his finger lightly touching the launch button, the missile's whistle pierced the night sky and it headed towards the target at a high speed of Mach 4.
He stared closely at the radar screen, his heart beating faster and faster as the missile approached, looking forward to that decisive moment.
Normally, at this distance, the enemy aircraft has already entered the no-escape zone for medium-range air-to-air missiles. After one round of launch, you can relax and hear the order to return soon.
However, as an experienced pilot, Night Falcon 4561 knew that although beyond-visual-range strikes had advantages, they must not be careless in the face of such a mysterious opponent. Years of combat experience told him that this time the situation was a bit unusual.
Ordinary.
Sure enough, as expected, "Report! The target is maneuvering at high speed, our missile cannot keep up with its speed, and is about to break away from lock!" The data displayed on the radar screen was shocking, and Night Falcon 4561 nervously reported to the commander.
.
Immediately afterwards, an even more incredible scene appeared. The trajectory of the missile suddenly stopped on the screen, as if it had encountered some obstacle.
Immediately afterwards, a blazing sword shot out of the enemy's position, split into four, and accurately hit their missiles.
The missile exploded in the air and turned into a fire, as brief and dazzling as a meteor. Night Falcon 4561 was filled with doubts and fear: "He...how could he do it?" Such speed and reaction ability have exceeded him.
range of cognition.
"Don't panic, stay in formation and continue attacking." The squadron leader's voice sounded again, leading them forward like a compass.
After a short tactical discussion, everyone decided to adopt a more flexible distributed attack method.
Night Falcon 4561 flew the fighter plane to the right side of the target and launched an AIM-120 missile at the same time. At the same time, other teammates also launched attacks from different directions, forming a dense firepower network.
"The missile has been launched, be careful to avoid it!" Following the squadron leader's instructions, eight more AIM-120 missiles pierced the night sky, heading straight for Zhao Qing with the hope and belief of the entire squadron.
However, Zhao Qing seems to have the ability to predict the future, and can always accurately judge the trajectory of missiles and the movements of fighter planes. She is like lightning, shuttles through the night sky, and can accurately cut off every time she swings her sword.
attacking missile.
As time went by, the F-16 fighter squadron began to realize that in the face of powerful practitioners like Zhao Qing, traditional over-the-horizon missile attacks seemed to have lost their effect, and they could only let them continue to approach, and their attacks
But it has no effect like a mud cow drowning in the sea.
"Sir, I have sighted the target. It is maneuvering at high speed. The current distance is about 5.5 miles."
As one of the few people at the front of the fleet, Night Falcon No. 4561 was the first to discover new traces of the enemy. He quickly reported to the lead aircraft, and at the same time adjusted the attitude of the fighter plane, preparing to perform a Cobra maneuver to avoid the sword energy that might attack again.
The fighter jet circled rapidly in the night sky. Night Falcon 4561 turned on the afterburner and held the control stick tightly, feeling the pressure caused by overload.
At this critical moment, any small mistake may lead to failure or even death. You must stay calm and control the fighter accurately.
Various tactics and strategies flashed through his mind, trying to find a way to defeat this mysterious opponent.
"Copy that, all aircrafts should stay vigilant, keep distance from each other, and look for the best opportunity to attack." The squadron leader's instructions came again, and Night Falcon 4561 quickly understood his intention. The squadron must spread out and attack from different angles.
The goal is to disrupt the enemy's rhythm.
Night Falcon 4561 piloted the fighter jet into a quick dive, then jerked the nose of the aircraft and performed a half-roll inversion. This was to avoid the sword energy that might come from above, and also to adjust the attack angle.
"Try to use short-range missiles and aircraft cannons to attack!" the squadron leader ordered decisively.
Night Falcon 4561 immediately switched to short-range attack mode, maintained close communication with teammates, and jointly looked for attack opportunities. It tentatively fired a few rounds with the M61A1 Vulcan 20mm aircraft cannon, and dense rain of bullets poured out like a sudden rain.
, intending to cover the opponent's trajectory.
However, the UFO seemed to have magical powers. It either cleverly avoided the attacks of the aircraft fleet or forced its way through the trajectory of the tracer bullets, easily ignoring the power of the aircraft cannon.
In addition, several AIM-9X missiles fired over the shoulder used vector control and infrared imaging technology to achieve high maneuverability with an overload of more than 50G, and had strong anti-interference capabilities. However, in the face of this mysterious and powerful enemy, they were
It was easily resolved like child's play.
"The combat missile has been intercepted!" his teammates exclaimed over the intercom. Night Falcon 4561 quickly adjusted the attitude of the fighter plane and prepared for the next attack. But at this moment, he discovered that the target's figure had disappeared from the radar screen.
superior.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Where did he go?" Night Falcon 4561 asked nervously, his heart full of uneasiness. In this dark sky, every slight movement may be hidden
A fatal threat.
At this moment, a sword light suddenly flashed from behind his fighter plane, followed by a violent vibration. The pilot instantly understood what happened, but it was too late to react.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! 7 o'clock direction!" Night Falcon No. 4561 shouted loudly, and at the same time, it urgently controlled the fighter plane to perform defensive maneuvers. However, everything was too late. An F-16 fighter plane in the rear was hit by Jian Qi.
It exploded under impact and turned into an expanding fireball.
"Attention! It's approaching!" The warning voice of the companion came from the earphones. Night Falcon 4561 looked up and saw that the UFO was approaching quickly. Its speed was so fast, at least exceeding Mach 5, that it almost made people almost
Unable to react.
"Impossible! What is this?" Night Falcon No. 4561 exclaimed, his heart beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his chest. He had never seen such a weird enemy. It seemed to be unbound by any laws of physics and could easily
Dodge all attacks.
"Keep calm! Execute a low-force maneuver!" The squadron leader responded quickly. At this critical moment, his order was as important as a life-saving straw.
At a moment of intersection, Night Falcon No. 4561 held the control stick tightly and piloted the F-16 fighter jet in a low-intensity maneuver. The fuselage drew a beautiful arc in the air, trying to occupy a favorable position.
He tried his best to control the overload within a tolerable range, but the strong centrifugal force still made people feel suffocated.
However, the UFO suddenly released a powerful airflow. The Night Falcon 4561 fighter plane shook violently under the impact of the airflow and almost lost control.
He gritted his teeth and tried his best to stabilize the posture of the fighter plane. The aircraft kept rolling in the air, trying to get rid of the opponent's attack through this difficult maneuver.
However, the UFO did not seem to intend to let go of Night Falcon 4561. It was like a stream of cyan light, closely following the F16 fighter. Every roll and every maneuver made Night Falcon 4561 feel unprecedented.
Pressure and challenges.
Night Falcon 4561 could feel the trembling and groaning of the fuselage under high overload, as well as the damage and surge of the engine. Every roll seemed to throw him out of the cockpit, but he knew that he could not give up and must
Get a chance for the squadron.
Night Falcon 4561 tried to attack again, but each time it was cleverly avoided by the UFO. Its speed and maneuverability were so fast that no one could figure out its pattern.
"Requesting support! Requesting support!" He called anxiously to the base, but in the distant night sky, the voice seemed to be swallowed up, and there was no response.
…
"The power of the anti-air weapons of fighter jets is still too small, and there is really no threat...and the defense power of their bodies is also surprisingly low, they are just a bunch of squishy skin."
He slashed out a sword from a distance and hit the fuel tank of the F16 driven by Night Falcon No. 4561. Seeing the entire fighter plane being swallowed up by the fireball, Zhao Qing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, saying that this battle was effortless.
To put it simply, the most powerful weapon equipped by this group of F-16s, the AIM120 air-to-air missile, has a warhead of only 22kg. The smaller AIM9 has a warhead of only about 10kg. It uses a wide range of high-explosive fragmentation or continuous missiles.
The pole-type warhead can only deal with lightly armored units.
Similarly, the defense of most aircraft is only an aluminum alloy skin a few millimeters thick on the surface, which is full of various equipment and important structures. Not to mention air-to-air missiles or aircraft cannons, even if they are hit by a large-caliber bullet
, will be penetrated on the spot.
When flying at high speed, if you hit a larger bird head-on, there is a high probability that it will catch fire instantly, severely damage the aircraft body, make an emergency landing, or even cause the aircraft to crash and kill people.
Precisely because the defense power of aircraft is difficult to improve and can be penetrated casually, air-to-air missiles have been developing in terms of speed, range, and anti-jamming, and their lethality has almost never been improved. After all, the firepower has already been overflowed.
With such offensive and defensive data, it can be said that there is no threat to her at all. In addition to being fast and maneuverable, she is simply a flying target. After rushing into the fleet, it is a one-sided massacre, and the opponent has no ability to fight back.
In the final analysis, the design of fighter jets and air-to-air missiles has never considered targeting high-intensity single targets.
In fact, compared with launching useless airborne missiles, if you want to cause harm to Zhao Qing, it is the most powerful if the aircraft directly hits him. After all, it is a metal shell weighing more than ten tons and traveling at Mach 2, with considerable kinetic energy.
The equivalent of more than half a ton of TNT.
Of course, compared with missiles whose overload can reach tens of G, although many of the F16 pilots are hybrids with excellent physical fitness, they are limited by the strength of the aircraft. Even if the flight control restrictions are lifted, it is basically difficult to
It reaches 10~15G, which is too bulky, so there is no way to hit her.
In this fierce air battle, no matter how many pilots tried their best, the outcome was actually destined from the beginning.
"However, if the enemy knew that I had just killed a dragon, would they only send such a conventional force? At least they should be replaced with some powerful heavy missiles." Zhao Qing continued to chase the fleeing fleet, while secretly thinking in his heart
thinking:
To be continued...
