In the sky above Riyadh, every three hours there will be a jet fighter formation overlooking the brightly lit warning circle of the capital at an altitude of 10,000 meters, silently guarding the core of the entire country.
The Royal Air Force F-15 fighter jet "Talha (Friendly Tree)" team is performing a night patrol mission.
Although the risks of flying at night are much higher than during the day, there are correspondingly fewer aircraft in the sky.
"Jihad! Something seemed to have flown by just now!"
Wingman pilot McNee suddenly looked towards the 9 o'clock direction with some confusion.
Just now, there seemed to be two small black dots flickering in the corners of his eyes. In the dark night, any flying objects were not as conspicuous as they were during the day.
"I didn't see anything, maybe it was a flying bird. There was no response on the radar, and everything was normal in the ground air defense warning system."
Jihad, the lead pilot, stared at the 9 o'clock direction and observed carefully for a while, then shook his head towards the wingman's cockpit. The faint light on the instrument panel could vaguely illuminate the outline of the pilot's figure.
"Really? I'm dazzled by this?"
Occasionally, dazzling eyesight happens. Wingman pilot McNee blinked hard several times and had to accept this reason.
Just when he was about to look back, two faint blue-white light spots suddenly lit up at 1 o'clock, faintly visible.
light spot?!
"Jihad, 1 o'clock direction! About 1,000 meters higher than us! Two light spots."
That was definitely not an illusion. McNee's pupils suddenly dilated and he immediately screamed.
Hearing the cry of the wingman, the lead pilot Jihad also noticed the two light spots that flashed and disappeared after a few seconds, and his face became solemn. He confirmed that the communication connection with the base was in normal condition and said: "I
I also saw it. Report to the Prince Sultan Base that we found a UFO in the sky above Area 54, but it did not show up on the radar."
"'Taleha' team! This is Prince Sultan's base. There is no authorized route over area 54 within 16 hours. Please find out the situation immediately. If you find an unauthorized stealth fighter intruding, you are allowed to open fire and shoot it down.
, the support team will take off in 8 minutes."
The Prince Sultan Base is 80 kilometers away from Riyadh, and it only takes four or five minutes for fighter jets to arrive.
In a non-war situation, 8 minutes to prepare for takeoff is already very efficient. If it is in a war situation, the ground team's pre-takeoff preparation time can often be shortened to less than 5 minutes.
The two F-15 fighter jets of the "Taleha" team suddenly entered the afterburner state. The orange tail flames of the twin-engine F100-PW-229 turbofan engines suddenly turned into light blue, and the output power increased.
A step pushes the aircraft body quickly from subsonic cruising state to Mach 2.5 pursuit state.
"McNee! Prepare to activate the 'Sidewinder'. No matter it is an alien or a fighter jet from any country, let's shoot it down together!"
The lead pilot, Jihad, activated the active radar and infrared systems and began to scan the entire sky at full power. He and his wingman were conducting a large-radius circling search, allowing the reconnaissance system to maximize its search capabilities.
Before taking off, he had read the flight notes for the mission period. At this time, he and McNee were the only fighter jets patrolling over Riyadh, and passenger planes were not allowed to enter the city. He had never heard of civilian aircraft flying.
Able to avoid two fighter jets and ground radar.
"Enter combat mode!"
McNee quickly operated on the instrument panel, turned on the night combat system, and at the same time used the night vision system to start observing the surrounding sky.
The F-15 of the "Talha" team is the S version (not the super version) specially simplified from the F-15e specially for Saudi Arabia. It uses the same engine as the F-15c of the main air superiority fighter wing of the U.S. Air Force, except that the aircraft
The electrical equipment has shrunk. The ground attack capability has been reduced, but it does not affect the air combat capability of the f-15s at all.
"The target is found. There is infrared response. The opponent is a twin-engine fighter!"
The radar was still silent and unresponsive, but the optical night vision system and the infrared system barely captured the figures of the two mysterious aircraft.
The two light spots just seen are illusions of the human eye, but each light spot is composed of two extremely close tail flames. The airborne reconnaissance system accurately distinguished this error.
"This is Prince Sultan's base, attack authorization confirmed! 'Talha' team, I wish you good luck!"
The Saudis are obviously more courageous, and in order to protect the safety of the capital, they do not hesitate to start a war over the city.
"fox2!fox2!"
Jihad, the leader of the "Talha" team, reminded his wingman that he was about to launch an Aim-9x "Sidewinder" air-to-air missile.
The F-15 two-plane formation has entered into a natural lag pursuit tactic, seizing the enemy's 6 o'clock position and successfully incorporating the enemy into its attack envelope.
With the theoretical range of Aim-9x of 40 kilometers, it is still quite advantageous in air combat.
When dealing with stealth fighters in night battles, it is most appropriate to use infrared guidance mode. The cooled-down atmospheric environment will make the fighter's infrared response much more eye-catching than during the day.
The two mysterious aircraft seemed to have known that the "Talha" team had discovered their existence, and quickly swooped down to the ground, using the urban area to order the F-15 fighter formation to launch a missile attack.
Although the "Adam" intelligent core system does not understand human nature, it can learn to utilize human nature through human self-psychological summary.
For intelligent core systems, humanitarianism is just a bargaining chip used to evaluate trade-offs, and its meaning is completely different from the eyes of humans.
Intelligent robots can do good things, but they are not necessarily "good" robots.
Compared with human beings, a naturally evolved race, this creation created by the hand of God by human beings by accident, its utility far exceeds that of human beings themselves. The bottom binary code origin destined it to have only two choices, survival.
Or perish!
"Damn, they swooped down. Below is King Abdullah Road, which is the business district! Let's chase them!"
The leader of the "Talha" team, Jihad, did not press the launch button in the end, not wanting to accidentally injure too many innocent people. If the opponent was swooping down into a dark park, he would have opened fire long ago.
The two mysterious fighter jets actually chose the brightly lit business district as cover, and their two aim-9x "Sidewinder" air-to-air missiles could not be launched no matter what.
Boom!~
A huge roar appeared over King Abdullah Road, and people on the ground raised their heads one after another. It was difficult not to notice such a deafening roar.
The night covered the pure black paint very well. "Adam" borrowed the achievements of human bionic technology without any scruples. Many people on the ground could barely see two black shadows flying rapidly at an extremely low altitude.
Passed overhead.
Immediately afterwards, they saw the F-15 twin formation chasing after them angrily.
When they realized something was not right, Saudi Arabia's air defense siren was triggered. At certain distances in the city, the air defense siren on the roof of a building emitted a long and piercing scream.
The whole of Riyadh was shocked.
"It's them indeed!"
Hearing the long air raid siren coming from outside the window, Lin Mo frowned to himself.
In the huge light mirror technique, two fighter jets with strange aerodynamic shapes were invisible in front of him.
"Adam" never expected that he had not yet searched for the dragon knight, but instead let the other party discover the two fighter jets he sent to continue the beheading.
Lin Mo waved his hand gently, and the huge light mirror and other large and small light mirrors immediately disappeared into the air, as if they had never appeared.
"Boss, is there going to be a war outside?"
Mahia's white and tender body was wrapped in a large amount of white and delicate shower gel foam. She was fascinated by the bubbles and fumbled to turn on the shower faucet.
She has long been used to big scenes and has never panicked or made any mistakes.
"It doesn't matter, you can continue washing, don't worry, we are safe here."
Although Lin Mo was talking casually, he suddenly appeared outside the door of the luxury suite.
Guang Zhanqi stirred up quickly, like a light and agile civet cat, and quickly left this luxury hotel.
. Hunter and prey, we still don’t know who is the hunter? Who is the prey?
"Jihad, they separated on King Fahd branch!"
Wingman pilot McNee's helmet auxiliary system discovered two obvious infrared targets 7 kilometers in front of them and suddenly "escaped" one to the left and the other to the right.
Let’s call it an escape. The F-15 fighter jet’s Mach 2.5 sprint didn’t close the distance much.
"You see, we are not in separate teams! Bite the one on the left, McNee! Be on guard for me!"
Jihad randomly selected a target and prepared to pursue it. The two sides had not yet entered a real dogfight, but he did not relax his vigilance. Everyone knew that almost no stealth fighter was easy to mess with.
As a price for challenging the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, let's turn into a fireball together with the fighter jets and sleep in the desert forever.
"Double-scisso (double scissors tactics)!"
The best tactic for a two-plane formation to deal with a lone enemy is the double scissors stranglehold with barrel roll maneuverability. The almost unresponsive double attack frequency makes it difficult to guard against. This has a great impact on the pilot's driving skills and tacit cooperation.
High demands.
There are very few three-machine formations that can create a three-scissors strangulation formation. It is already a super acrobatic battle formation. Once entangled, it is almost impossible to escape. (To be continued.)
