In some countries, fighter navigators are called "weapon operators"

Entering the attack stage, Di Boqing's main task is to control airborne radar and other electronic equipment, provide guidance information for missiles, and guide missiles to attack targets.

"Fire control radar locks the target and enters the end attack stage in 20 seconds"

"All aircraft should be careful and prepare for terminal attack guidance and leave after 20 seconds." Without having to deal with enemy fighter jets and avoid enemy air defense missiles, Liang Guoxiang took on part of the work belonging to Di Boqing.

Although similar tactics were simulated many times during training and confrontation drills, Di Boqing was still a little nervous in actual combat.

Staring at the weapon status display on the right, Di Boqing inputs the target information intercepted by the fire control radar as quickly as possible. With the help of the fire control computer, the tactical information required to attack the target will be automatically transmitted to the anti-ship missile in front through the fire control data link on the fighter. What Di Boqing wants to do is to choose the best attack method before the missile enters the end autonomous attack stage.

Although the C-604 anti-ship missile can automatically choose the most effective attack method, the computer is far less intelligent than experienced pilots, and even cockroaches. In order to improve attack efficiency, break through the enemy air defense network and increase hit rate, it is best for the pilot to choose the attack method.

Due to the speed of fire control computer computing and fire control data link information transmission speed, even the most skilled "weapon operator" will take 15 seconds to complete all the work.

Time passed by seconds, sweat beads emerged from Di Boqing's forehead

The fleet is getting closer to the Fourth Fleet of Japan, and is getting closer to the danger

The Military Intelligence Bureau has long confirmed that Japan reached an agreement with the United States at the end of last year to cancel the third batch of 96 "Standard-3" "Sea-based Tactical Anti-missile Missile" in the site for 8 "Aegis" air defense destroyers to purchase 256 "Standard-6" "Extended Range Regional Air Defense Missile" to enhance the regional air defense capabilities of the "Ninety Fleet"

"Standard-6" missiles have a range of 400 meters to large high-altitude targets, and fighter airborne targets are also above 200 meters.

The fleet has already entered the "Standard-6" interception range. The Japanese Fourth Fleet will not sit and wait for death.

Di Boqing was worried that it would soon become a reality. When setting an attack method for the fourth anti-ship missile, the tactical situation appeared on the left side of the screen. The radar alarm machine immediately rang.

"We are locked by fire-controlled radar Japanese warships are launching air defense missiles

”

"Stay calm down and complete the guidance work as soon as possible"

Hearing Liang Guoxiang's words, Di Boqing took a long breath and changed the guidance mode to manual operation.

"The guidance work can be completed and you can get rid of it"

"Each aircraft reported the situation and prepared to evade air defense missiles"

At this time, the navigators of other fighter planes also issued warnings to the pilots and completed the missile guidance work one after another.

"Follow the long-range maneuver!"

Under the leadership of Liang Guoxiang, 12 j-13b fighter jets quickly dive and turn

The best way to avoid ship-based air defense missiles is to leave the detection area of ​​the battleship air defense radar before the missile enters the end, and leave the battlefield from ultra-low altitude with the cover of the Earth's curvature.

Like all long-range air defense missiles, the "Standard-6" adopts a composite guidance mode

Before entering the terminal self-guidance, "Standard-6" can only rely on its own inertial navigation system, or the guidance command provided by the air defense radar to fly to the target's airspace 2,040 kilometers away from the target, the fire control radar on the missile will be activated according to the preset command or the command provided by the warship, automatically searching and tracking the target, and guiding the missile to hit the target.

Because the speed of the missile is much faster than that of the fighter, the maximum overload it can withstand is above 3 of the fighter, and the "Standard-6" adopts the "high ballistic dive attack mode", that is, after launch, it will first rise to a height of more than 10,000 meters, reduce flight resistance, increase range, and finally attack air targets by dive, so if you want to avoid "Standard-6", you must disengage before the missile enters the end of the self-guided end.

In previous training, the pilot flight troops conducted similar confrontation drills with the air defense forces many times

Liang Guoxiang knew that the Fourth Fleet of Japan was not a US aircraft carrier battle group, and all the dozens of "Standard-6" they had just launched were drifted.

If they were attacking the US aircraft carrier battle group, Liang Guoxiang would not be so optimistic

As the most advanced "regional air defense missile" of the US Navy, the best performance of "Standard-6" is not a range of 400 meters, but an advanced guidance mode built on the "cyber tactical platform"

When developing "Standard-6", the US military took into account the performance limitations of warship air defense radars when detecting low-altitude targets.

In order to improve the interception capability of low-altitude targets, especially cruise missiles, including anti-ship missiles, the "Standard-6" can not only be guided by launchers, but also by other warships equipped with relevant equipment, and even early warning aircraft, so as to have the combat capability of intercepting ultra-low-altitude targets outside the visual range.

A few years ago, the US military successfully intercepted ultra-low altitude targets 120 meters away using "Standard-6" during the experiment.

Subsequently, the US Navy modernized and improved all air defense cruisers and air defense destroyers in accordance with the standards of the "Cyber ​​Tactical Platform" and equipped them with "Standard-6" missiles.

Japanese air defense destroyers that have just completed the upgrade of "war zone missile defense capability" do not yet have the ability to cooperate in networks

Holding the violently shaking joystick, Liang Guoxiang couldn't help but feel glad

When the altimeter reads become 550, the buzzing radar alarm machine quiets down

Twenty-four pilots breathed a sigh of relief at the same time

"Brother Liang, the second echelon is about to arrive." Di Boqing also received a tactical message from the early warning plane at this time.

The 24 FBC-1 fighters responsible for the second round of attack have arrived above the battlefield and are heading to the missile launch site.

"Understand all aircraft, pay attention." Liang Guoxiang quickly glanced at the data on the screen, "Height 250, speed 1050, the course shifted to 75, the air combat formation is ready to cover the second echelon."

12 j-13bs were dispersed into four "品" shaped teams, and they were converted to fly northeastward.

Di Boqing also quickly changed the working mode of airborne radar now ignores the Japanese Fourth Fleet. Anti-ship missiles will independently complete the attack operation. The batch of Japanese fighters must be found as soon as possible so that the 24 FBC-1s in the second echelon can complete the attack operation without being threatened.

Just as the heading turned around, dozens of highlights appeared on the radar screen

Di Boqing was secretly shocked. Before he could react, the radar alarm plane screamed again

"Missile attack, Brother Liang, avoid it!"

Liang Guoxiang reacted violently and quickly pushed down the accelerator, and at the same time pressed down the joystick to "interference bomb preparation, deceive the bait preparation"

Without the instructions from his partner, Di Boqing turned on the switches of the interference bomb and the deception bait to prepare for launch

In addition, 11 j-13b pilots made the same choice, preparing to release interference bombs and deception bait while diving.

The attack aircraft group is not air defense missiles, but medium-range air-to-air missiles launched by Japanese fighters

Japanese fighter jets must approach the J-13b aircraft under the guidance of early warning aircraft and launch an attack in a "first launch and then guide" manner.

The frequency of the alarm sound has increased rapidly, indicating that the missile has entered the self-guided attack stage, and the fire control radar on the missile locks the target.

Only a dozen seconds left for Liang Guoxiang and others

"Brother Liang, the direction of one o'clock"

Dozens of missiles volleyed in the air in front of the right side of the aircraft group

Liang Guoxiang did not open his mouth, quickly pulled up the joystick, and at the same time stepped on the rudder on the right, jumped up, flipped 180 degrees in the air, Di Boqing understood it, and when the fighter was about to reach its highest point, he pressed the launch switch of the interference bomb and the deception bait

As dozens of radar jamming bombs exploded behind the fighter jet, they hung on j-13b
The j-13b fighter quickly turned to dive, avoiding the electronic jamming cloud

There were also five pilots including Zhu Ronghui and others who used the same evasion tactics. Because the missile attack came very suddenly, Liang Guoxiang did not have time to issue tactical orders, so the pilots of each aircraft could only choose to evade tactics independently.

The pilot's instinctive reaction in an instant determines life and death

The deception bait specially developed for j-13b has produced very good results. The electronic jamming cloud has electromagnetic reflection characteristics similar to j-13b. Even if the medium-range air-to-air missiles launched by Japanese fighters adopt more advanced guidance technology, it can accurately identify fighters in the complex electromagnetic environment created by radar jamming bombs, it is impossible to distinguish two "targets" with similar electromagnetic reflection characteristics. Because the electronic jamming cloud is closer to the missile, it is more "attractive" to the missile.

In the flash, six j-13bs that dropped deception bait got rid of the missiles

The other six j-13bs were not so lucky. Two were hit by three missiles, three avoided the first missile and were hit by two missiles behind, and the last one avoided two missiles, and was hit by the third missile during dive

Seeing the wreckage of the fighter plane falling to the sea, Liang Guoxiang gritted his teeth

"Only 8 brothers skydiving," Di Boqing's tone was very sad, "Damn it, Brother Liang, we want to avenge the dead brothers."

"Report the exact location of the parachuting pilot to the rear and call for the search and rescue force." Liang Guoxiang did not lose his composure, "Old Zhu, are you still here?"

"Here, right behind you." Zhu Ronghui's tone was not only sad, but also angry

"Prepare to fight enemy fighters" Liang Guoxiang quickly checked the airborne weapons, "Damn it, don't give me some color to see, they thought I was a sick cat."

"No problem, we'll follow you." Yang Jinjie replied as a substitute partner

"All aircraft should pay attention to the air search mode, follow the long-range operation, and prepare to launch intercept missiles."

6j-13b after completing the steering at ultra-low altitude, it rises into the blue sky with maximum thrust

Regardless of whether there are brothers or not, Liang Guoxiang will not let go of Japanese fighters because their mission has not been completed yet, and the 24 FBC-1s that are responsible for the second round of attack missions are about to arrive!

damn it*

The main attack is about to begin. Cover your comrades, get monthly tickets to cover them and annihilate the enemy! (To be continued,)
