Compared with warships, carrier-based aircraft are much smaller in size.

The resources consumed in manufacturing carrier-based aircraft are also very small.

Carrier-based aircraft with pilots cost a little more, but unmanned wingman aircraft are very cheap.

Because there is no need to consider the survival of the pilot, the unmanned wingman can be manufactured using inferior materials.

In this way, even if the wingman is shot down, the loss is within an acceptable range.

The industrial base on the planet can produce a large number of carrier-based aircraft at any time using basic materials.

Even in the logistics fleet, the production line for carrier-based aircraft can produce carrier-based aircraft directly inside the ship as long as enough materials are provided.

In this way, even if there are heavy casualties, they can be replenished quickly.

One hundred and seventy thousand carrier-based aircraft against the forty to fifty thousand carrier-based aircraft of the Yelong Empire.

When the technological levels are similar, or even have a slight advantage, the advantage in numbers is fully demonstrated.

On a carrier-based aircraft, the two pilots had calm expressions. As veteran pilots, although they were not psychics, they had fought in several battles with Li Xin.

Combined with daily training, they have extensive experience in piloting and combating carrier-based aircraft.

No one knew what was in front and behind the space fighter, and the four carrier-based aircraft formed a small formation.

Carrier-based aircraft are very fast, and the distance between each combat formation is also very large, sometimes tens of kilometers.

For carrier-based aircraft, this distance allows each combat formation to support each other and also serves as a distance for maneuvering to avoid enemy weapons.

Of the two pilots of the fighter jet, the one in the front row is responsible for flying the fighter jet and remotely controlling the flight of the other three wingman aircraft.

The pilots in the back row are responsible for operating weapons and combating carrier-based aircraft.

A formation of fighter jets taking off from a battleship can directly occupy a large area of ​​space.

They charged forward relentlessly towards the enemy's battleship line.

The Yelong Empire had insufficient carrier-based aircraft, but in order to stop the human attack, they dispatched all the carrier-based aircraft they could.

These carrier-based aircraft have now been replaced with weapons specialized in air combat. As for mounting large anti-ship missiles or space torpedoes, they are not currently considering it.

On the Galaxy Defense fleet's side, at least half of the carrier-based aircraft, about 70,000 to 80,000 carrier-based aircraft, use air combat specialized templates.

They must first wipe out the carrier-based aircraft forces of the Yelong Empire, or at least tear open the defense lines of these carrier-based aircraft forces.

This gives the following fighter jets equipped with anti-ship missiles and space torpedoes the opportunity to attack the ship.

On the carrier-based aircraft, the electronic reconnaissance and optical reconnaissance systems simultaneously discovered the enemy's intercepting aircraft.

"Target found!"

"All units, prepare for battle!"

"Squadron One, Squadron Two, attack! Don't give the enemy planes a chance to get close!"

The order from the superior commander came through the headset.

In battles within this galaxy, electromagnetic signals can still convey the commander's orders in a timely manner.

The carrier-based aircraft loaded with the air combat template accelerated and flew towards the enemy.

These carrier-based aircraft are equipped with at least two small laser cannons and fourteen air combat missiles.

The number of missiles seems to be a lot, but whether they can achieve results is not certain.

Whether it is the fighter jets of the Galaxy Defense Group or the fighter jets of the Yelong Empire, they are all equipped with energy shields.

The defensive power of this energy shield is not as good as the void shield, and the upper limit of defense is much lower.

But fortunately, it is a complete technological equipment and does not require the participation of psychics.

If only one or two remaining air combat missiles hit the fighter, it would be impossible to shoot down the fighter, and at most it would destroy the shield.

The carrier-based aircraft of both sides collided passionately, and various air combat missiles and laser beams flew everywhere.

The two space fighter pilots of the Galactic Empire are joining the fighter battle on the front line with their combat teams.

The four fighter jets maintained their combat formation and engaged in a duel with an enemy combat group.

The pilot in the back row had a calm expression. As a veteran, he was very calm and even operated the weapon systems of four carrier-based aircraft with extraordinary proficiency.

"Number Three locked onto the target!"

"Launch two melee missiles!"

The pilot in the back row muttered in a low voice, "This is a battlefield record."

The No. 3 he mentioned is an unmanned wingman.

Generally speaking, when Galaxy Defense pilots are in combat, they always arrange for their unmanned wingmen to start the fight first.

Minimize the loss of personnel.

No one knew about it, and No. 3 launched two air combat missiles in succession, accurately locking onto the enemy's carrier-based aircraft,

Two consecutive missiles ignored the enemy's evasive actions and accurately hit the enemy's carrier-based aircraft.

The explosion of two space missiles directly destroyed its energy shield.

"good!"

"pretty!"

The pilot in the front row was flying a fighter jet while helping his teammates lock onto the enemy. He was even more excited when he saw the shield of an enemy carrier-based aircraft explode.

The pilot in the back row also had a slight smile on his face, and then he controlled No. 3 and continued to lock onto the enemy's carrier-based aircraft.

"Lock on the target!!"

"Laser cannon fire!"

“Squeak!”

Two consecutive red laser beams were fired from the unknown position of the nose of the No. 3 aircraft.

The benefits of laser weapons in space, especially in fighter jet combat, are too great; locking onto a target is equivalent to hitting it.

"boom!!"

The carrier-based aircraft of the Yelong Empire was locked and had lost its energy shield. It could only rely on its body to withstand the attack, but it couldn't withstand it at all and was directly hit and exploded.

"here you go!!"

Galaxy Defense's carrier-based aircraft are very accurate in their attacks, because in space combat, these carrier-based aircraft units have powerful data support from the fleet.

In the fleet, from frigates, destroyers, cruisers to battleships.

These warships have established a complete data system in space. All kinds of intelligence collected from reconnaissance are summarized in the warships. The entire battlefield is transparent to the Galaxy Defense Fleet.

Carrier-based aircraft lock onto enemy fighters and launch air-to-air missiles, which track the opponent until they hit it.

During this period, there was an unknown amount of battlefield data supporting it.

It seems to be just the pilot's operation, but if you look deeper, there may be a frigate closest to you that provides data intelligence about the surrounding area.

This information was gathered in the battleship's data center and then sent to the carrier-based aircraft command center.

Only after a series of data models were established could the carrier-based aircraft fight so smoothly.

One by one, the Yelong Empire's carrier-based aircraft were hit and exploded, turning into pieces of space junk.

Some of Galaxy Defense's carrier-based aircraft were also destroyed, but mainly because no one knew about it, the losses were still within an acceptable range.
