The U.S. Air Force took advantage of its own advantage of having two strategic reconnaissance aircraft to lock the opponent in advance, and took the lead in launching an attack through the joint guidance technology of home operations.
Although the particle beam cannon is powerful, when both sides are moving at high speed, the error rate will multiply geometrically with the distance. Not every "Kamru" can calmly carry out over-the-horizon sniping.
At this moment, the enemy aircraft group of the Third Era, which was close to the visual distance, also launched a group counterattack without hesitation, and blue and white beams of light were fired straight away.
The oncoming missile wave was penetrated by the particle beam on the spot. Several missiles hit the smallest cross-section by coincidence, and several red clouds exploded.
Before the US fighter formation behind the missile wave had time to release all the second batch of missiles, seven fighter jets were hit head-on by the late-arriving particle beam on the spot, and three were damaged.
In an instant, gaps appeared in the F16 "Fighting Falcon" fleet formation, and their combat effectiveness was directly reduced by nearly one-fifth. This was a very disastrous result.
Although there was a "Fighting Falcon" formation protecting and even blocking the gun, an AC130 aerial gunship was still hit. These big guys are the targets of "care" by both the enemy and us.
The two T561a turboprop engines carried by the cantilevered upper monoplane of the seriously injured AC130 air gunship were fired, and thick smoke and flames came out. This was not the worst part.
The pilot hurriedly cut off the fuel supply system to rescue himself. The automatic fire-extinguishing system quickly suppressed the flames into thick smoke. Only faint sparks popped out from time to time. However, the right lower abdomen of the aircraft was torn open and almost penetrated to the
The hole in the tail destroyed the aerodynamic shape of the aircraft, and the ac130 fell crookedly downwards as if on a pendulum.
A huge fireball suddenly exploded at a height of 4,000 meters above the ground. Fortunately, several parachutes bloomed in the sky in advance.
As the main force for ground attacks, the ac130's bomb load is absolutely amazing, and its explosion is even more powerful. High-charge bombs, air-to-ground missiles and machine gun bullets explode into large and small fireballs one after another, as if in the sky
A bunch of plump fiery red grapes hung down, so red that they shone brightly.
The first wave of attacks from both the enemy and ourselves is far from over.
The next second after a dense blue-white beam of light flashed in the sky, the F16 "Fighting Falcon" aircraft group launched a group of "Sidewinder" missiles and fiercely pounced into the enemy aircraft group.
Although the intensive volley of particle beams fired in a tit-for-tat manner happened to blow up some "Sidewinders", only a small part was lost. Most of the "Sidewinders" missiles clung to their targets, even before the opponent had time to disperse their formation.
before, incorporating it into its own no-escape zone
Two "Kamru"s were blown up in the air, eleven "Kamru" interceptors fell to the ground dragging thick smoke, and seven "Dust Bee" unmanned reconnaissance aircraft also fell seriously injured. There is no doubt that these
A crashed aircraft will never return to the sky
The rest of the enemy fleet dispersed like birds and beasts, suddenly widening their distance and scattering in all directions. The Eight Immortals across the sea each showed their magic to avoid the missiles that were biting them, but "Kamru" or "Dust Bee" continued to be damaged or exploded.
The duel between the sky knights is so brutal. The judgment of life and death is often decided in the first round. It is not uncommon for both parties to die together.
These special "Sidewinder" missiles with special warheads filled with special loads still have the ability to kill these third-era aircraft with surprisingly strong defenses in one hit, and their power is not inferior to that of particle beams.
The most important thing is that although the missile is far slower than the particle beam, its firing frequency is faster than the particle beam cannon that needs to be cooled and recharged.
Different technology trees mean that although the two civilizations have their own strengths, it is difficult to say who will have the upper hand when they really compete.
In contrast, after the first round of salvos, the US military achieved even better results.
"Don't stop! Keep firing missiles! According to the battle formation! Fight each other! Fight each other!"
The opportunity for the formation to fire a salvo was fleeting, and it was impossible for both sides to launch a ferocious attack with such a terrifying knockdown efficiency. Major General Gordon, the commander of the "Eagle", took the opportunity to issue a combat order with red bayonets.
Next comes the most brutal stage of fighting on the Sky Knight battlefield: dogfight. Only the last survivor is qualified to control the air.
"Red Eagle Squadron, outflank the left wing! Red Eagle Squadron A, you are responsible for the breakthrough, and the rest of the brothers will cover you to release tactical neutron bombs!"
"Blue Eagle Squadron, get rid of those 'Dust Bees'. Don't save ammunition. They are very flexible and harder to fight than the 'Global Hawk'. Cover, cover, they are coming."
"Leave those weird interceptors to our White Eagle Squadron, spread out, wrap them up, don't let them bite the 6 o'clock position, bastard! Major Hank! Major Hank! Did you hear this, you idiot?
Damn it, we lost Major Hank, Major Alf, you will be in charge of White Eagle Team C, I wish you good luck! Everyone (guys)! muiscon (fight)!"
There were shouts and shouts in the communication channel.
Although they are said to be a flying wing, in fact these F16 "Fighting Falcon" fighter jets belong to the same combat group.
The fully-organized U.S. Air Force flying wing includes four groups. In addition to the combat group, there are also logistics support groups, such as maintenance group, ground support group and medical group.
Within a radius of tens of kilometers, the sky surrounding the star gate of the Zaire Basin has completely become the warriors of the Sky Knights from an altitude of 100 meters to an altitude of 20,000 meters.
More than forty F16 "Fighting Falcons" launched a desperate struggle with the third era's aerial combat weapons and unmanned reconnaissance drones
"There are still 110 kilometers away from the Zaire Basin war zone, and the Americans have already started fighting."
The pilot of the large carrier aircraft "Unit 3" glanced at the radar screen. The iff identification friend or foe filtering system displayed the signals from both sides in different colors. The dots were very dense. The two sides were fighting fiercely. The battle had reached a fever pitch.
Battles of this scale are extremely rare, even in the history of human wars in the world today.
"Are you sure you don't want to change it?"
Captain He Tao, who was accompanying the team, scratched his head and looked at the dragon knight's expression.
Along the way, he changed the ammunition for the fighter next to him at least three times. Fortunately, the light combat mobile armor they were driving had a ground support module, and only one mecha could complete the loading and unloading work independently.
"If you don't change it, let's leave it as it is! It's enough."
Lin Mo casually turned off the holographic projection screen in front of him and confirmed the final list of weapons for battle.
Based on the actual battle situation transmitted via satellite from the Zaire Basin war zone, in order to ensure the greatest results, he adjusted the list of weapons he carried many times.
Fortunately, "Unit No. 3" has an amazing carrying capacity and a variety of ammunition types, allowing the Dragon Knight to change ammunition as he wishes.
With a soft sound, the optical stealth system was not turned on, and the X8 "Monster" deformed wing fighter appeared black all over. The built-in weapon bay door automatically closed, and the bottom of the wing was also covered with missiles, almost armed to the toenails.
But what is striking is that there is an unusual thing unexpectedly added to the rear of the cockpit of the morphing wing fighter.
It is definitely not any offensive weapon currently equipped by humans in the world, such as missiles or aircraft cannons.
About 4 meters long, the slender figure with three strands twisted into one seems to give this fighter jet an extra proud feather crest.
The Longinus gun, actively sponsored by the Rothschild family and temporarily loaned to the Dragon Knight through the "Inquisition", is now firmly inserted into this fighter jet. Lin Mo originally modified the Longinus main gun.
The slots still exist, which saves the technicians a lot of effort.
Special departments and agencies from various countries understand that only this kind of special weapon that can easily penetrate the defense shield of "Jialan" can maximize its combat effectiveness. This means that Lin Mo can unconditionally borrow the weapons of any country at any time.
The Gun of Ginus, as long as they have it
If it were an ordinary person taking Longinus to challenge "Galan", haha! Is that giving Longinus to the other party?
"That's good, call me anytime if you need anything."
Captain He Tao wiped away the non-existent sweat. The replacement work just now was actually completed automatically by the mobile armor according to the corresponding program module, and there was no need for manual control at all.
"Please note that we will begin to engage the enemy in three minutes! Get to your positions! 'Dragon Knight', the top flight deck will open in one minute, please be prepared to escape."
Red warning lights flashed in each cabin inside the large carrier aircraft, and the pilot's voice echoed.
Obviously, "Unit No. 3" is not just a large transport aircraft. The thick gun barrels and built-in weapon bays protruding from all over the body are showing that it is also quite an existence that is not easy to mess with.
"The 'Dragon Knight' is ready!"
The dragon knight jumped into the cockpit of the deformed wing fighter. The fully covered sealed canopy slowly fell down, and light curtains rose automatically, illuminating the entire cabin.
Although he is wearing the "Dragon General" external reinforced armor, the spacious cockpit seats do not feel crowded at all.
A sudden white light flashed in front of "Unit No. 3", and another huge mushroom cloud rose into the air.
After a burst of strong electromagnetic radiation, multiple communication channels that were full of noise just now suddenly became quiet.
An F16 "Fighting Falcon", under the cover of its teammates, successfully dropped a small tactical neutron bomb. What's more coincidental is that the impact point of the bomb happened to be between the two "Galans" that had just emerged from the energy defense cover (to be completed)
