The aim-120 "Slammer (Prison)" medium-range air-to-air missile, as the first active radar-guided outside-of-sight air-to-air missile developed by the United States, has a "fire and forget" function, so that fighter jets are no longer restricted.
Due to the threat of continuous irradiation guidance and tracking until the target is hit, the pilot is unable to carry out large maneuvers.
In China, only the improved version of the PL-12 (Thunderbolt) medium-range air-to-air missile can compete with the "Slammer (Prison)" in terms of performance.
The light microscope magnified again. Above the troposphere and in the stratosphere, there was a pure white aircraft that Lin Mo had never seen before. It was descending at a high speed and coming towards him. Immediately afterwards, a small black dot appeared.
It broke away from under the strange-looking aircraft, and almost at the same time, the signal of the second aim-120 medium-range air-to-air missile was displayed on the warning radar display.
*** Actually want to kill everyone?
Lin Mo couldn't help but curse.
What kind of strange aircraft is this? It has a triangular swept-wing shape, no tail fin can be seen, and the cockpit cannot be seen. Could this be a drone?
Lin Mo frowned deeply. Don't think that the maneuverability of the unmanned combat aircraft will be slightly inferior because there is no pilot to operate it on site. In fact, it is even more terrifying because there is no one on site.
The first choice for modern fighter jets is to adopt a teardrop-shaped cockpit design with a wide field of view. This is not advanced, but a kind of helplessness and a compromise. Compromising to the best aerodynamic design in order to carry people does not actually contribute to the superiority of aerodynamics.
.
As Lin Mo's mentor Professor Yan Guoqiang said, it is not that China's aircraft design institute cannot design very advanced fighter jets. Even the aerodynamic design can be easily a hundred times more advanced than the Americans and Russians, but due to the material
, cost. As well as the institutional limitations of pilots, China can only manufacture fighter jets with the most economic value and the most cost-effective balance.
Even if there is no shortage of money, it is not that the F-22 "Raptor" cannot be designed. It is because there are too many shortcomings in real conditions, and it is impossible to produce such an advanced fighter jet like the Americans who have sufficient resources and industrial base.
.
Even so, the Americans also felt that the money was not enough to build such an expensive "Raptor", and even suspended the F-22 production plan for a time.
Good things must be good, advanced designs must be advanced, but without the foundation and money to build, it is still a castle in the air. A tree without roots is only suitable for talking on paper.
Domestic aircraft manufacturers can only go as far as Lin Mo, building one or two demonstrator aircraft with bold designs and rich imagination to test the performance of materials and equipment.
Compared with manned fighter jets, unmanned fighter jets do not need to consider the pilot's overload load at all, and can easily make tactical maneuvers with large overloads that exceed the human body's endurance. The tactics are even more complex and diverse, and they can launch unimaginable fatal strikes.
.
The progress of human fighter jets is also the progress of overload endurance.
While Lin Mo was controlling the fighter jet, he used light microscopy to scan the pure white unmanned fighter jet.
No trademark, no model, no pattern, no product.
mmd, some overfed force is here to make trouble for you.
Being chased by two AIM-120s was no fun, and the opponent's decisiveness was beyond Lin Mo's imagination.
The actual range of aim-120 is about 46 kilometers. Since it is a medium-range air-to-air missile with 4 times the speed of sound, it is basically not expected to be thrown away. If it can be delayed for one second, it may be able to take advantage of the opponent's solid fuel
Exhausted, detonated at close range.
Radar active guidance is not as easy to fool as infrared guidance. Just scattering infrared jamming bombs will hardly have any interference effect.
One can be easily dealt with, but if there are two, Lin Mo is not so confident. This is not as easy to deal with as those antiques from the "Lapis Lazuli" castle in Afghanistan. This is one of the most advanced air-to-air missiles in the world.
one.
As the frequency of the defense radar sirens became more and more intensive, the first Aim-120 had already followed the "Dark Halberd" more than ten kilometers away, and it was getting closer and closer.
Pushing the joystick with his hand, Lin Mo quickly adjusted the various systems of the aircraft to prepare. Lin Mo quickly pulled up the nose of the aircraft, and the aircraft began to slow down, as if it was a fast Pugachev Cobra maneuver.
But Lin Mo did not retract the joystick. He had experienced at least two ultra-low-altitude Cobra maneuvers, and he did not have to worry at all that the "Dark Halberd" would lose enough power and fall into the sea.
The "Dark Halberd" nose elevation angle exceeded the Cobra's 120-degree maneuver and still did not stop. His eyes were fixed on the light microscope and began to lock on the AIM-120 missile that was rapidly approaching from behind. As the body continued to flip backwards
The moment it reached a certain angle, the 30mm aerial cannon on the belly of the J-15 "Dark Halberd" fired, and ballistic paths were fired, creating a small sharp scattering angle.
boom!
Because after the "Dark Halberd" slowed down in a cobra maneuver, a huge fireball suddenly bloomed less than three kilometers away from the "Dark Halberd".
The "Dark Halberd" almost flipped backwards and decelerated into a stall state before falling in. Lin Mo's throttle valve was immediately pushed to the maximum output. The fighter's body shook violently, and with the inertia, it flipped over the body and returned to the horizontal line, continuing.
Flying forward, because of Lin Mo's precise control, the "Dark Halberd" only lost less than ten meters in height. The nose of the aircraft narrowly passed over the sea level, and the power erupted by the twin jet engines directly sprayed a stream of water on the sea.
Large splashes of water.
This is not a conventional maneuver, but a combined maneuver that combines the "Pugachev Cobra maneuver" and the circular rotation maneuver. The official name is "circular maneuver". Like the "bell maneuver", it is a Soviet system.
Super secret skills of high-end fighters.
The J-15 "Dark Halberd", which was also born out of the Soviet fighter jets, inherited the super maneuverability of the Soviet fighter jets, and Lin Mo exploited every ounce of performance to the fullest.
Circular maneuvers are usually very effective against chasing enemies. They can change from the pursued to the pursuer occupying a favorable position, which is very useful when switching between offense and defense in close combat.
Compared with somersault maneuvers, circular maneuvers allow Lin Mo to have a more stable environment for aircraft gun shooting.
Lin Mo, who combined the air cavalry tactics from two worlds to form his own unique set of combat skills, is a master of maneuvers in this world. He used the missiles that were following him as fighter jets, turning slow flips into fast flips.
Attack while maneuvering, combine offense and defense, and at the moment of turning around, bring the incoming missile within the attack angle of your own fighter aircraft and cannon.
Even if the missile's seeker cross-section is small, it cannot withstand the dense barrage that covers the entire missile trajectory. Coupled with the ferocious power of the 30mm warhead, even the aim-120 air-to-air missile in a high overload state has no chance to react.
It was directly blown up by the volley.
"Hmph, hum! Next one!" Lin Mo stared at another incoming missile. He knew very well that this was just an appetizer for his opponent.
When he was fighting against the Texi Empire in another world, he had encountered such an opponent. He had a meticulous grasp of the rhythm of every link in the battle. Such an opponent could not only seize the opportunity in the blink of an eye.
He is not only capable of destroying fighter planes, but also able to create them. He has rich combat experience and is also very talented. He is a very difficult sky knight.
Lin Mo could confirm that it was an aerial knight of this level who was wirelessly controlling the unmanned fighter jet.
To a certain extent, it seems that the opponent is even more indifferent to life and death, because even if the fighter plane crashes, he will not be hurt at all. He has ignored life and death from the beginning, and his calm mentality is not inferior to Lin Mo in the slightest.
Therefore, Lin Mo couldn't treat the opponent as a Vietnamese pilot. The tricks he usually used were useless in front of such an opponent, and they were also very easy to be exploited by the opponent.
A cluster aerial bomb of unknown specifications and two aim-120 medium-range air-to-air missiles are just a way for the other party to test their capabilities. If you can't even catch these few hits, then you are not qualified to be the opponent.
opponent.
On one side, the second aim-120 air-to-air missile was approaching rapidly, and on the other side, the triangular pure white unmanned fighter jet was approaching in a high-speed dive.
This is a very classic duo attack tactic, designed to catch the enemy off guard.
Lin Mo had to make a choice. He had no confidence in finding a way to survive between the two, so he had to deal with an easy opponent first.
With preparations in hand, Lin Mo stopped rushing around and directly followed the incoming aim-120 missile in a diagonal circle. At the same time, he took into account the flight angle of the unmanned fighter jet to avoid being exploited by the opponent.
Once the opponent was placed on the same level as himself, Lin Mo became very cautious, constantly deducing the next attack trajectory in his mind. There were only two short-range air-to-air missiles under the wings of the "Dark Halberd", which meant that Lin Mo
There are not many opportunities for Mo to attack.
Similarly, I also believe that after the opponent's continuous exploratory firing, there will not be much missiles in the weapons bay.
For a true aerial knight, it is completely unnecessary to be armed to the teeth. Only one or two exquisite and effective weapons are needed, and there will not be or need to be too many attack opportunities.
An air superiority fighter is like a longbow, with low defense and high attack, coupled with highly agile steps, it constantly seizes advantageous positions and can completely knock down the opponent with just one opportunity.
Seizing the opportunity, Lin Mo pushed the joystick to the left, and while climbing, he aimed the nose of the aircraft at another Aim-120 "Slammer (Prison)" missile. This was not a reverse pursuit, but a sideways attack.
The strike surface is larger, and the hit rate is relatively much higher. As long as one shot can hit, it can be detonated directly.
