Chapter 124 Beyond Visual Range Strike, Taking the First Two Battles (Please Subscribe!)
"I just made routine contact with the forward reconnaissance and combat team, but there was no response after multiple calls."
In fact, the team should have taken the initiative to contact the base, but no matter how long they waited, the person in charge never received a call from James.
He tried calling several times but got no response, and immediately realized something was wrong.
The message had to be reported to headquarters immediately, but according to priority, the person in charge first informed the commander of the bombing squadron to raise their vigilance.
"They may have been detected by concentrated fire defenses. If they continue their mission, they must be wary of the enemy's shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles."
"Understood, we will pay more attention."
The commander answered solemnly.
With less than 300 kilometers left, we can't just go back like this!
"That's how it is. The target may have been prepared, but that doesn't affect our bombing mission."
After ending the communication, the commander informed the entire fleet of the news.
The alarm blared throughout the Harrier's cockpit.
It's not that that kind of guidance is bad, but that semi-active radar guidance is very dependent on the performance of the guidance radar. The Mirage F1's Cyrano IV mR is qualified.
If he were unfortunately hit by an anti-aircraft missile, Thomas would rather have his job with a monthly salary of 20,000 euros.
Leno didn't care about the reward; what he wanted was to prove himself.
"Boom!"
During that period, the area that was basically not the AIM-120B was an escape zone. So, at the critical point in that range, with the maneuverability of the Super Étendard and Mirage F1, could they shake off those two medium-range missiles?
"Buzz~~"
Eight fighter jets, along with over seventy aerial bombs including cluster bombs, all landed in the populated area above. The violent explosions swept through a small patch of rainforest, creating a spectacular scene.
Knowing it would turn out that way, we should have sent the Étendard squadron. With me and two Mirage IIIs cooperating, we would never be in such a passive position as we are now.
"Enemy tracking, enemy tracking, enemy tracking..."
The enemy didn't have any medium-range missiles?
Inside the cockpit, Li Qiao watched as the rocket engines of the two medium-range missiles ignited, propelling the missiles to a first-stage speed of over 1400 km/h before disappearing from sight.
"However, the battle plan needs to be changed, and I will act as the vanguard of the attack."
"Buzz~~"
"Beep~ Beep~ Beep~~"
After retreating to within 75 kilometers of the AIM-120b's maximum range, Maas activated the two medium-range missiles previously mounted on the Sea Harrier, and then pulled the missile launch button at a distance of 55 kilometers, completing two beyond-visual-range strikes.
Controlling his thoughts, Leno stared at the target as it flew back to within the range of the 530F.
"Boom!"
Musk has 3 Super Rattlesnakes left, and Leno only has 2 Magic 2s left.
The problem is that it's heavy enough and the fuselage is sturdy enough that it can still parachute out and escape even if it's hit by a "super" 530F.
However, to be honest, the Chinese announcements are not only worse than the original "woo-la-woo-la," but they are also quite annoying to listen to.
"Enemy search, enemy search..."
As aerial combat recedes into visual range, the fighting style becomes more anthropomorphic.
Before escaping the near-explosive fragmentation warhead that created a death zone with a radius of 20 meters, Mas thought to himself with disdain.
"Whoosh~~"
Or perhaps a small portion of airborne radars are faulty, which is why ground-to-air radars dislike that type of guidance more than air-to-air radars.
"Afika, what is he doing? Quickly, drop his bombs."
So, what is Maas's countermeasure against such a once-glorious medium-range missile that has now been brought in by Li Qiaozhao for recycling?
I'm estimating the time; the AIm-120b will reach its top speed of 4470 km/h 11 seconds before the seventh acceleration, and that speed will be maintained for 17 seconds.
P.S.: Most of the information online is wrong. Super Flag is a single-seat, single-fire system. You only found this out after watching Bad Boy's video. I had to revise it later. I wrote 4000 words before dawn.
Fishing requires baiting, and without a fragrant bait machine, how could a tomcat fall for it?
However, if my allies trust me, will my enemies, Maas, let me go?
"Whoosh~~"
The Sea Harrier's Skyguard radar warning receiver alerted Maas.
Thomas was originally supposed to be the first to throw the bomb, but now things have changed, so it's time for him to take the lead.
"Doo-hoo~ Doo-hoo~ Doo-hoo~~"
The sound came from my side and front; it was the noise of airflow from the small motor. What was Afika doing?
However, even the worst missiles can be stored for years. Medium-range missiles can be refurbished, but close-range missiles depend entirely on luck.
When Musk was a first-time pilot, he knew that after a missile was launched, everything was like that.
Are the commander and the other wingman the same?
Those thoughts flashed through my mind. I thought the commander was calling out for another Super Etendard, but little did I know it was a command to all personnel.
Therefore, of the four targets on the top-view monitor, I personally selected two and fired two AIm-120Bs using the Blue Fox dual-target tracking mode (DTT).
The result was that they selected the Phantom F1, and locked in all the Super Flags.
"Beep~ Beep~ Beep~ Beep~"
Thomas came and worked his way up until he was a star. I said he would definitely get seven stars.
The Sirano IV mR radar finally caught up with this guy, and it was only 20 kilometers away from blasting him into stars.
As for praying that Leno would take down the enemy, I'm from the Navy, I have confidence in the Air Force.
"Boom!"
Those bombs were originally intended to destroy concentrated fire defenses, but unfortunately they were all abandoned before becoming a burden.
The Maas missile previously possessed the Aim-9x, which had a minimum range of only 18.53 kilometers and was still considered a short-range air-to-air missile.
Joining a company like White Hat might make you a qualified soldier, but your character is definitely questionable.
The "Super 530F" exploded on the side with the chaff, which suggests it was equipped with a semi-active radar seeker.
Seeing that horrific scene, Li Qiaozhao's mind went blank.
It means that outside the Skyguard's database, there was nothing, but when Mas retreated, he was still being illuminated!
Afika's mind was now filled with only one thought: it wasn't the Virgin Mary's blessing that allowed me to survive that hunt.
Once you join the team, you won't have that kind of opportunity again.
Proving that I am the weakest, that I can become an ace pilot, is not due to the times, but to my own problems.
Seeing the target still visible on the monitor, Lenno fired another shot without hesitation.
Afika also threw away all the bombs he had left, and Yu Qin felt extremely relaxed, constantly swallowing his saliva.
I should have come there; I should have been tempted by Thomas's low wages and joined the White Hats.
"Boom!"
Unlike my AIm-120b and Amx-9L, which are all next week's (business week) products, their accuracy is definitely within the design specifications.
That was my first "super" 530F.
Two fireballs exploded in the sky, illuminating the cabin of Afica and Leno.
However, active radar guidance is not so difficult to jam. The two AIM-120B missiles changed targets and followed the maneuver, capturing two Super Étendard aircraft.
Finally, the Phantom F1's cabin resounded with heavenly music.
"Yes, Commander!"
"Yes, Commander!"
That close-range combat missile was much weaker than the first-generation trash magic missile, after all, it copied the AIm-9's design and lacked the common head-on attack capability.
As a result, he joined the army and found new employment, experiencing a seventh spring in his life.
"Beep~ Beep~~"
Aside from corporate culture, what could be less convincing?
This demonstrates the pilot's qualities; Leno, in particular, was unwavering.
Compared to the Flag Company, where everyone had different thoughts, Leno was simply less concerned.
Leno was in very bad shape; in air combat, nobody gets shot down, we were just unlucky.
"Puff~ Puff~ Puff~ Puff~~"
"Wait, drop the bombs immediately!"
"D aircraft is responsible for air defense and can jettison its unexploded bombs at any time."
Apart from the machine gun, only the two Matra Magic II missiles under the wingtip pylons remained on the No. 4 aircraft.
Thomas responded over the radio.
In some ways, Leno is a lot like Kuhn; both worked diligently in their first jobs, honing their skills and putting them to good use.
"Whoosh~~"
Hit?
There's no way around it; that's the duty of a top gunner, both on and off the team.
"Whoosh~~"
Maas did not conduct a specific investigation into the first production batch of that medium-range missile, which was seventy years ago.
Let's get out of there first. Although the Super Etendard is much slower than the Sea Harrier, I have time to chase it all the way to Zhongfei. The rainforest of Guoguo is that guy's final destination.
The headquarters made a complete mistake. We only anticipated the possibility, but we did not expect that the concentrated fire defense would actually bring in weak reinforcements from the rear.
"You've seen the other person, but there's only one for now!"
Although it relied on the giraffe tactic (a version of the mantis stalking the cicada) to launch a sneak attack, it is enough to show that the medium-range bullet had a high hit rate.
At that very moment, both sides ran out of medium-range missiles.
I don't know what Afika is doing; I'm just running away with my head down.
Although I was cursing in my heart, I was also filled with panic.
On a clear day, at low altitudes with poor visibility, even a pilot with eyesight no better than a hawk can spot an enemy aircraft 20 kilometers away.
As we moved towards each other, I retreated into the search range of the other side's fire control radar.
He then changed the order of his attacks.
"Boom~ Boom~ Rumble~~"
The missile, already activated, left the launch pad and flew head-on towards the damned "star".
Now, the bombing squadron can only rely on Leno's Mirage F1.
Just like in Liaodong at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the elite guards of the border army, who were fully paid, encountered the Bayala soldiers wearing eight layers of armor. Both sides were carrying bows and arrows, and they were using heavy arrows.
qu'est-ce que? (What the heck?)
Yes, when he joined the White Hat Boys, Reno shot down a MiG-21.
Before being locked onto by a few fire control radars, the frequency of alarms also decreased. However, Mas was unaware that he was being targeted by a star-obsessed maniac.
I know why, but suddenly I don't have that dull, fulfilling feeling anymore.
The commander turned off the radar warning receiver and yelled into the wired radio.
The Harrier closed the distance to within 15 kilometers of the two fighter jets. Maas, seeing the second Super 530F missile coming, pulled the missile launch button and fired the first AIm-9L of the day.
Is that the sound of radar locking on?
The Super Etendard's agile radar warning receiver finally stopped responding; the one locked onto was the commander's aircraft.
What is beyond visual range warfare? That's not beyond visual range warfare.
Before the commander's radar warning receiver could sound an alarm, another Super Étendard was immediately locked onto by the enemy.
"Enemy missiles, enemy missiles..."
Although the Blue Fox radar can track and lock onto a few targets simultaneously, it is also intelligent enough to identify the specific model of an enemy aircraft through the radar cross section (RSc) of the fighter jet; that task belongs to the radar warning receiver.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Rumble!"
Under the only locked super military banner, Afica is like a god without a master.
Li Qiao pushed the throttle lever all the way and sped towards the airspace where the bombing squadron was located.
I will take them down and make them the seventh star under my fighter jet.
I maneuvered the Harrier downwards like a nimble fat man, while simultaneously releasing red flares and chaff to both sides.
Even without bad hands, so what? Li Qiao could still take down her opponent with her melee bullets.
My wingman's Anthurium radar detected the target first, but even if I didn't have the 530F medium-range missile under my pylon, we were still within 25 kilometers of each other.
The head-on range isn't that far, could it be an Osros R77?
Leno instinctively turned around.
Even if White Hat refurbishes important components such as rocket engines, the missile's performance can still be inevitably reduced.
The commander and Unit B were all shot down by the enemy. I was the only one left in the entire Estádio squadron, and I didn't even have any weapons. What was the point of running?
Later, the AIM-120b, guided by inertial/command, officially activated the active radar seeker at the rear end, transmitting the latest commands to the tail servo motor before aiming at the target, thus making subtle adjustments to the missile's flight attitude.
However, shooting down seven fighter jets is not particularly difficult.
Bombing missions are my primary responsibility. I only hope to shoot down one more fighter jet and add a star to my aircraft.
I'm sure I have one or two missiles under my racks, which would at least provide some temporary relief, but I only have 250 rounds of cannon ammunition.
"Beep~ Beep~~"
Before dropping the bombs, he actually looked excited and then turned on the fire control radar of the Mirage F1.
Radars cannot be made small and weak underground, but they can only be installed in the small space of a fighter jet's nose, so their performance is slightly weakened.
In fact, it cannot be used as bait; the Yila Ke Air Force does not do that.
Upon detecting the radar beam emitted by the AIm-120b, the Super Etendard's radar warning receiver emitted its first warning cry.
Li Qiao's expression was intense. I knew it was a "Super" 530F, a French medium-range missile that had shot down F-14 Tomcats a few times during the two wars.
One pursued, the other fired head-on. The second "Super" 530F was detonated by the chaff first, and Maas flung the flying debris far in front of him as he headed straight for the Mirage F1.
Yes, any missile with a range limit exceeding 20 kilometers is considered a medium-range missile.
Leno also got involved; since the reconnaissance team at the rear had run into trouble, this…
At the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If I'm certain the enemy has fewer than one aircraft, I'll turn around and run. But if the enemy only has one aircraft, I'll have to give it a try!
"Yes, Commander!"
Poor commander, poor B-unit, we didn't even have a chance to eject before we were shot down beyond visual range.
A slow, urgent alarm suddenly came from the cable TV, interrupting their conversation.
In a flash, the commander and his wingman, without thinking too much, frantically deployed chaff and jamming flares using the Fimat chaff countermeasures, then pulled up their noses to prepare to maneuver and evade the missiles.
The commander shouted that all the remaining bombs had been jettisoned.
The "Super" 530F uses two interchangeable seekers: radar and infrared. Knowing which one it is, Musk simply jammed both.
