The Qin pilot flying his TA-183 fighter was a little panicked. He saw with his own eyes that his lead aircraft was easily shot down by the Tang Army's aircraft without knowing what happened.
Logically speaking, they are all elite pilots who have fought on the battlefield and have accumulated a lot of flight hours, so they should not be so fragile.
Because he was single and weak, he could only occasionally see the enemy planes chasing him through the rearview mirror in the small cabin. He swayed left and right according to his own habits to prevent the Tang Army pilots from locking onto him.
According to his experience, it is not easy for the opponent to easily lock onto him and start firing with machine guns.
In more than two years, Qin's pilots have accumulated rich aerial combat experience in the Battle of Shu. They have enough actual combat experience that every pilot is not a rookie.
But even so, their recent losses are still a bit too much, so much that it makes Qin's air force commanders doubt their life.
Because there was not enough reference data and not enough intelligence feedback, the Qin army commanders could only send out elite Type 183 fighter jets, hoping to master some information about the secret weapons of the Tang Air Force through constant contact.
A lot of information was indeed compiled: including the fact that the Tang Army had a new type of aircraft with triangular wings, which seemed to have better control performance than aircraft with swept wings.
If you look carefully, the wings of the Tang Army's aircraft are actually not standard delta wings, but double delta wings with some changes. This design is very excellent and gives the J-7 its maneuverability far beyond that of the MiG-21 fighter jet.
According to the information the Qin Army pilots knew, this type of jet fighter, which was very fast and had good maneuverability, was very difficult to deal with. But what was even more difficult to deal with was that the Tang Army seemed to have a very weird weapon.
Yes, according to reports from some observation posts on the ground and ordinary soldiers, they saw with their own eyes that the other side had a "turning" rocket that could hit Qin's aircraft very easily.
This kind of information made the commanders of the Qin Air Force a little confused. They had no idea what the concept of air-to-air missiles was.
Judging from their experience, the Tang Army's aircraft should be equipped with better aiming systems, but not using cannons in air combat was simply a fantasy for the top brass of the Qin State.
The Qin pilot driving the TA-183 fighter jet once again pulled his control stick and changed his flight direction. He staggered the opponent's aiming window, hoping to avoid the lock of the Tang army's aircraft.
But what he didn't know was that the Tang Army pilot following him had already powered on the Thunderbolt air-to-air missile mounted under his wing, and the seeker on the missile had locked onto the fiery tail flame of the Qin aircraft.
For an infrared seeker, the heat source is the most attractive thing in the world: the Tang Empire had invented the infrared seeker a long time ago, and the reason why it has not been put into use until today is that on the one hand it was waiting for
Other countries are equipped with jet engines, and on the other hand, they are also working hard to improve the shortcomings of the first-generation infrared seekers.
In fact, Tang Jun's infrared air-to-air combat missile will no longer be easily distracted by the sun. It has a little bit of brains and will eliminate the sun as a distant heat source.
Of course, it is unlikely that it will turn around and attack Tang Jun's own aircraft... If this cannot be guaranteed, Tang Mo is unlikely to equip his air force with such missiles.
Because there was no optical warning device, when pilot Wang Hai's plane locked onto the Qin Army's aircraft and launched an infrared-guided air-to-air missile, the Qin Army's pilots still knew nothing.
He didn't know that the other side had already launched an attack on him. At this moment, he was waiting for the cannon shells behind him to fly over and miss his plane.
Isn't this the basic style of air combat? When bullets are coming from behind, you fly the plane to avoid the enemy's fire, then roll to dodge, looking for opportunities to counterattack...
But while he was waiting patiently, he suddenly saw something coming towards him quickly out of the corner of his eye.
It was a black spot with thick smoke, approaching rapidly, and after he changed his flight path, he used more violent maneuvers and rushed behind him at a weird angle.
The next second, he felt something push him hard behind him, and the shrapnel penetrated his engine, his body, and him...
It is a proximity fuse. In order to increase the power of destruction, the air-to-air missile does not explode when it hits the target. Instead, it detonates the warhead when it is close enough to the opponent.
Countless shrapnel formed a huge metal storm, swallowing up the Qin fighter in front. The entire tail of the aircraft instantly turned into fragments, followed closely by the wings of the aircraft.
The Qin Army pilot, who was not equipped with an ejection seat at all, was dizzy from the violent vibration at the moment of the explosion. Before he could figure out what was going on, he could no longer control his plane.
His abdomen was bleeding, shrapnel penetrated the bulletproof steel plate behind him, and what he didn't know yet was that only one cockpit of his plane was left.
Turning the nose of the plane and avoiding the falling fragments of the Qin army's aircraft, Wang Hai achieved his second victory today. The wingman consciously gave up the victory to this super air combat ace, because this ace already belonged to the Tang Air Force.
myth.
Everyone is discussing when Wang Hai will be able to shoot down the 200th enemy plane. That is a feat that scares many people away.
Looking at the "nose" of the aircraft that was spiraling down in the distance, Wang Hai's face was full of satisfaction. He was one step closer to the goal of shooting down 200 enemy aircraft. This is definitely good news.
"The enemy plane was shot down. I can't see it on the radar screen." The voice of the AWACS dispatcher came from the earphones: "Congratulations."
"Thank you!" Wang Hai responded politely. He and his wingman were climbing, but the two Ta-183 fighter jets had already turned into burning flames on the ground.
Qin's ground command center still received no information because they couldn't hear the various reports from their own pilots.
The electromagnetic interference was so serious that the pilots of the Qin Empire were very courageous to be able to take off planes desperately to participate in the battle.
It's a pity that this is an air battle, and courage is not enough. What rules this blue sky is technology, and the indispensable courage... Unfortunately, the Qin pilots who only have courage face technology that crushes them
The brave and invincible pilot of the Tang Empire!
