In traditional air combat, weapons are not designed to completely destroy!
For modern aircraft, which are extremely complex weapons of war, you only need to damage one of its parts, and it is likely to lose its combat effectiveness!
Therefore, the power of weapons is never the most important thing, as long as the fragment damage can be touched!
In a sense, this has strayed far away from the essence of combat and has completely lost the ability to withstand damage!
But the emergence of the spaceship has brought combat back to its most ancient form. It can withstand damage and is sturdy enough. If the weapon is not powerful enough or does not hit directly, it can still fly and fight!
This is what Alger is worried about. If they are ordered to take some kind of action, will the few weapons they have on board be enough?
Williams couldn't do anything about it, "I don't know! I don't even know if the missile can lock on it? How far the range of spiritual energy can go is a mystery to us! Maybe a cannon is more suitable? This guy sees He got up and was seriously injured, this might be our chance!"
Alger sneered, "It was injured because of humans! Now humans are thinking about how to deal with it? Don't you think this is ridiculous?"
Williams was speechless and could only say, "Lieutenant Alger, there is something wrong with your ideological tendencies. I will report this to the base when I get back! If you keep acting like this, I don't think you are suitable to continue to stay in the Air Force." Get down!"
Alger didn't care, "Whatever you want, I've always been like this. They've been warning me for several years, but the result is still like this? If the military decides to expel me, then they may not only consider expelling me, but A huge crowd!”
The waiting was excruciating, but the order was delayed. Alger was obviously a character who couldn't hold back his words.
"Why don't they send a spaceship over? I think it's important for both sides to be equal in battle!"
Williams smiled bitterly, "First of all, you have to understand that the ability of spaceships in the atmosphere is not what they are good at, just like you can't use your gold chain to tie a dog! The most important thing is that we don't only have spacecrafts, they also Either way, if you do this, you will have absolutely no control over the next situation!
This is why everyone in the world convention agrees not to use spaceships in the atmosphere! Alger, I think you should read more books on this subject and stop thinking about where to go to parties all day long!"
Alger disagreed, "You know how much you don't know how to do anything about it? Then you might as well spend more quality time at parties, at least you will be happy!"
Why haven’t the orders come yet? They’re about to fly out of the blue water area!”
His meaning is very clear. If you want to shoot down, you must start early and do it in the shallower blue water area! The average water depth here is 2 or 3 kilometers, which is suitable for salvage. In the deep water area of the Pacific Ocean, it is easy to reach 5, Even with modern technology, it would take a lot of effort to find a water depth of 6 kilometers, and it may not be possible to find it yet.
Williams couldn't answer, and it wasn't something he, a captain, could decide, but fortunately, the order finally came.
"Blue Falcon, Blue Falcon, use the method you think is appropriate to shoot it down! Be fast and don't drag it into an aerial battle!"
Alger scolded: "The way we think it is? I think this can't be fought at all!"
Williams ignored his complaints, "Blue Falcon 02 follow me, let's keep the distance first!"
He still decided to use missiles, which are more powerful than machine guns! But missiles cannot be launched at a close range of several hundred meters, as they are not within the shooting range. There are too many conditions for launching missiles, and it cannot be launched too close or too far.
There is an optimal emission interval.
The two F-55s pulled up, climbed up, and then flipped over. When they pointed their noses at the spacecraft again, the distance between them was already ten kilometers away. The spacecraft was just a small black dot in the line of sight, but in the
But it is extremely conspicuous on the radar.
"Can't intercept the infrared signal! That guy has no infrared signature!"
Alger was still complaining that they were on combat readiness duty, and the bomb preparation was not to deal with the spacecraft, so 6 of the 12 missiles on the fuselage were useless. The spacecraft had no engine, and of course there was no tail spray.
Completely different from traditional fighter jets.
"Using AIM-99X, we each launch two missiles. Four missiles should be able to stop him, right?"
AIM-99X is a short-range air-to-air missile with a range of ten kilometers to dozens of kilometers, which is most suitable for the current situation. The operating procedures have been practiced countless times. Being able to become a combat-ready aircraft pilot is a symbol of strength in itself.
Soon, the two quickly completed the preparations before the launch. Although Alger had a lot of complaints, it did not mean that he would disobey orders. In his heart, he would always be an integral part of the huge war machine of Sam Country.
"emission!"
Following Williams's command, four missiles popped out of the magazine. After falling for tens of meters, the missiles spouted flames from their tails and jumped forward...
A distance of more than ten kilometers is only about ten seconds for a missile that exceeds five times the speed of sound, and then...
"No movement? Did it hit or miss?"
Alger was still wondering there when Williams' voice came from his earphones, "No hits! Not even one hit! The radar display is normal and the missile launch is in accordance with the procedures..."
Before he finished speaking, there were sounds of continuous explosions in the distance. Alger made a judgment,
"This is self-destruction! Obviously, the radar saw it and the missile seeker tracked it, but they just flew straight past and self-destructed when the range was about to end! In the eyes of the missile, the spacecraft is invisible! It
There must be a way to deceive the seeker! Otherwise, it would be impossible to hit all four missiles!
I've said it before, we know nothing about the mysterious spiritual power! It's not fair to fight like this! It doesn't even have a slight dodge! It's like a windmill looking at a ridiculous knight!
Do you want to continue?"
Williams knew what his companion said was true, but that was not the reason for him to stop!
"Perhaps the distance is too close? The seeker has not fully started working yet? Next time we fire the AIM-57 medium-range bomb, we will move the distance farther to the optimal rear-end distance of 50 kilometers!"
Alger muttered, "It's up to you! I hope it won't fight back! Let me say it again, although I love the United States, I hate this kind of mission. Winning has no glory, losing is very embarrassing, and I may even lose my life for it.
Life!
If this was an extraterrestrial spacecraft, I would not even hesitate to crash into it! But it belongs to us humans! Just because you have read those so-called propaganda-oriented books, do you think all this is reasonable?
If that’s the case, I’d rather never watch it!”
Dissatisfaction turned into dissatisfaction, but the two F-55s quickly arrived at a place 50 kilometers away from the spacecraft. They operated carefully to make sure they knew everything. Then, the same four AIM-57 medium-range missiles were fired...
…
A minute later, Alger's voice said, "Okay, you can tell them that we have used all possible methods. The fact is that we are attacking the air! Of course, there may be other methods, such as flying a plane into it,
You can show your bravery, but I can’t. I have to go back to the party and don’t want to fall into the Pacific and feed the sharks!”
