The future sky belongs to stealth aircraft!
Although the intelligence shows that the Soviets may have some black technology that can detect stealth aircraft, it is absolutely impossible for that kind of advanced radar to be deployed to South Africa at this time. Just look at the Mirage 3 provided by the Soviet Union to South Africa. , the Soviet Union did not pay much attention to the sky here.
So, take this opportunity to show America's excellence in modern aviation!
Pilot Jack, flying the most advanced stealth fighter in the sky, turned on his radar and scanned the airspace ahead.
In fact, the most suitable tactic for stealth fighters is to engage the enemy secretly under the command of an early warning aircraft. However, in South Africa, the United States will not deploy early warning aircraft, and can only rely on its own airborne radar.
The flat slot radar antenna at the front of the nose radiated electromagnetic waves and scanned the surrounding airspace. Soon, he found something.
Two goals! The IFF did not respond, it must be a South African Air Force fighter!
The historical f-22 used active phased array radar! But now, the United States has fallen far behind in this regard.
After all, the t/r components required by the phased array radar in the United States were originally introduced from the island country, and finally achieved breakthrough progress. Now, with the change of the island country, the United States cannot introduce these technologies, but self-developed, It also costs a lot of money.
Therefore, this f-22 is advanced in some aspects, such as the stealthy aerodynamic layout, such as the engine with a thrust-to-weight ratio of almost 10, which is the crystallization of American perverted aviation technology, but there are also backward places, they cannot The active phased array radar is equipped for this fighter. Up to now, it is still an ordinary flat-panel slot radar. However, the United States has been very comfortable with the design of this kind of radar. Although the size of the radar antenna is not large, it has been able to detect up to two hundred Kilometers of targets, and, after replacing a new generation of processors, the speed of scanning new targets is quite fast!
Two targets found! One hundred and two away, right in front!
Pushing the lever, Jack drives the fighter forward, and at the same time, selects the weapon and prepares for the launch. The air battle is quite fast, and the distance of this one hundred and twenty kilometers will come in an instant!
Jack extravagantly turned on the afterburner, burned for dozens of seconds, and easily pushed the fighter into a supersonic state, accumulating energy for the missile launch, and then he pressed the button.
On the side of the fuselage, the cover of a bomb bay was opened. Under the action of the ejection mechanism, two advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles were ejected respectively. Then, the engine of the missile was ignited, and the missile began to accelerate and pounce in the direction of the target. !
Now, all Jack needs to do is to wait leisurely. He needs to provide relay guidance for the missiles. After a few seconds, he can retreat, because, along with his stealth fighter, the missiles equipped are also active air-to-air missiles!
The previous Sparrow missiles belonged to semi-active radar guidance. The radar at the front end of the missile only received signals and could not launch, so the carrier aircraft needed to provide radar illumination, but the current missile is already an active radar seeker, and the seeker itself Can emit electromagnetic waves! Although because of the limited power, the active guidance program can only be entered at a distance of 20 kilometers, which is already a reborn change!
The carrier aircraft does not need to continue to maintain stable flight at the risk of being shot down, providing radar illumination, and the carrier aircraft can drive away at any time!
Two missiles, dragging a white smoke in the sky, flew towards the distant target!
The Mirage 3 is already a very backward fighter. It is so backward that it does not even have an omnidirectional radar warning receiver. It only has a radar warning receiver on the rear side, which can only detect whether it is being attacked by tail pursuit!
But now, Luck, who was flying smoothly, didn't realize that the danger was coming, and his attention was all on performing the mission.
Although this aircraft is relatively old, some equipment has been updated. For example, the navigation equipment has been replaced by the Soviet Union's global positioning system. The accuracy is quite high, allowing him to easily find the target he is about to bomb according to the scheduled route.
Just before Luck was about to enter the bombing, he suddenly raised his head alertly, as if he had a sixth sense, he realized that something was wrong, and then the milky white missile occupied his retina.
"Alarm, there are air-to-air missiles!" After Luck said the last sentence on the radio, that missile had already had a death kiss with Mirage 3! The old Phantom 3, under the bombardment of the high-energy fragmentation warhead, was directly hit and exploded in the air!
And his wingman, who followed Luck, also suffered the same bad luck!
It's almost a fight without any suspense!
Jack watched the target disappear from the radar still felt that it was not very enjoyable. If you can meet the Soviet carrier aircraft and conduct an air battle with the opponent, then it will be called a real battle!
…
USSR aircraft carrier.
"A few minutes ago, two Mirage 3 fighter jets on the mission of the South African Air Force crashed unfortunately." In the flight conference room, the aviation director of the carrier-based aircraft informed the carrier-based aircraft pilots of the news.
"It seems that those Phantom 3s are too old and given to the South African Air Force. No matter how well maintained, there will be mechanical failures." Christoph couldn't help but said.
In their eyes, the sky over South Africa is quite safe. Now that the plane has crashed, it can only indicate one problem, that is, the fighter plane has a mechanical failure. "It wasn't a mechanical failure, they were shot down," said Andrei, who was present at the meeting: "In the last radio received, the voice of their pilot was clearly heard. The pilot saw the missile visually, and they were shot down. Shot down by an air-to-air missile."
Shot down by a missile? Suddenly, Christoph was excited: "Could it be that those black people also have mercenary pilots? And fighter planes? It's really great!"
All this time, Christopher was suffocating! Apart from a few routine protection flights around the aircraft carrier, he has no combat missions! So Christophe desperately wants war!
"Yes, after receiving the news, our reconnaissance satellite conducted a carpet search of the black-controlled area. Finally, we found a hidden air force base near Kacamas." The director of aviation continued. Said: "The United States has exported fighter jets and mercenary pilots to black people. Now, all we need to do is to destroy the base here!"
Black people, how come with the Air Force? They must be killed!
