Fighters should fight under the command of early warning aircraft! Xiang Jing subconsciously wanted to say this. This Delano acted without authorization and should be stopped immediately!
However, when Delano said those words, Xiang Jing felt that it still made sense. There were only two aircraft at present, and the J-32 did not have weapons mounted on it. It was just joining in the fun to test the maximum takeoff.
Efficiently, the J-15 takes off with a full load. It was originally intended to test the maximum take-off weight and maximum landing weight. Now it is just right to rush up and frighten others with its own mounted missiles.
This person is always so reckless!
It's still in the testing phase now, and he hasn't officially joined the navy yet. When he joins in the future, he has to make three arrangements to prevent him from being so reckless!
The atmosphere on the ship island also became tense.
This is the advantage of having a ship-based fixed-wing early warning aircraft. It can easily detect ultra-low-altitude flying targets on the sea four to five hundred kilometers away. It is impossible for the warship's own radar or the ship-based early warning helicopter to detect such a distant target.
If it does arrive on the battlefield, the existence of early warning aircraft means that the maritime formation will not be threatened by ultra-low-altitude sneak attacks. They can detect it hundreds of kilometers away and then organize carrier-based aircraft to intercept it.
The difference in detection distance means different interception methods. If it is detected hundreds of kilometers away at sea, it can intercept the opponent's aircraft. If the distance shrinks to a hundred kilometers, then the missile has been launched and flew away, and our own side can only
Being able to intercept missiles launched by the opponent, the combat effects of these two methods are completely different.
Delano was full of excitement. He had long wanted to compete with his colleagues. What was coming this time? Nine times out of ten, it was a big insect. Just let a plane like his torture them, even if
Even though he is loaded with bombs, he is absolutely sure to fight against the big bugs.
Various data about the big bug appeared in Delano's mind, and when it flew over, he used their different performances to suppress his opponent!
He did not turn on the radar, but various target data clearly appeared on the HUD. This was the credit of the early warning aircraft. The target data was continuously transmitted through the data link. When they were serving in the US Navy, they had long been accustomed to this.
This tactic is now very easy to use.
Three hundred kilometers, two hundred kilometers, one hundred kilometers!
"Attention wild dogs, always pay attention to the target and pay attention to the information from the radar warning receiver." The voice of the commander of the early warning aircraft came from the earphones.
Listening to this clear female voice, Delano was surprised for a moment, and then replied: "Wild Dog has received it, continue to engage the enemy silently, and activate the photoelectric probe."
After the Su-27 appeared, it caused a sensation in the world. In addition to its maneuverability, it also has its equipment. The IRST probe in front of the cockpit windshield has made countless military fans talk about it. This thing is a photoelectric radar, specially used for
Detect infrared rays emitted by targets!
In addition to radar, there is also IRST and helmet sights, which make the Su-27 look so awesome.
But in fact, the Tomcat fighter also has a photoelectric detection device, which is installed on the belly of the aircraft. However, the early IRST had limited performance and was inconvenient to use. The pilots of the Tomcat fighter rarely used it, and its use was a matter for the radar officer behind.
.
After Dongfang introduced the Su-27 and copied the J-11, of course it also copied this system and made improvements. The IRST system currently used by the J-15 is already the most advanced model that has been improved.
.
This kind of detector does not use visible light, but infrared rays. Generally speaking, it has two bands: medium waves of 3 to 5 microns and long waves of 8 to 14 microns. The absorption rates of these two bands in the air are very low.
, can be discovered from a distance.
The Su-27 series aircraft use the medium wave band, and the glass cover outside it is made of sapphire. This kind of thing is relatively wear-resistant. Even if it passes through cyclones of sand and rock particles, it will not be worn. In China, it is very long.
This is what was used in time. With the continuous development of Eastern technology, the domestic IRST system developed has already used long wave. The cover adapted to the long wave infrared sensor cannot use sapphire, which is not so wear-resistant, so it is usually closed.
, it will only be revealed when it is used. Usually when you see this thing on the ground, it has its eyes closed.
The reason why long wave is used is naturally because the propagation distance of long wave is farther, which is more than twice that of medium wave. The Su-27IRST that was once imitated only has a detection range of about 30 kilometers, which is actually a bit useless, because at this distance, the pilot can’t see it.
The target can also be found by sight.
But now this improved model is very high-end and can track targets at a distance of up to 85 kilometers!
At this time, Delano turned on the photoelectric radar and continued to engage the enemy silently. Soon, target information appeared on the HUD.
"The target has been found by the photoelectric system!" Delano said: "The infrared characteristics of the target are very obvious!"
If it is a tail chase, directly facing the chrysanthemum of the fighter in front, the infrared signature will of course be very obvious, but now it is flying head-on. In this case, it can only detect the infrared rays of the opponent's nose and the friction between the edges and the air, which is not possible at all.
There will not be such obvious infrared characteristics.
What is the goal?
Delano became interested.
For a fighter plane flying at high speed, the distance of one hundred kilometers is only a matter of minutes. Delano continued to fly forward, and soon he saw a huge thing on the sea in the distance.
"Oh, God, why do I feel like it's more like a ship than a plane?"
When they heard this voice on the radio, everyone was very curious. Xu Zhengyang suddenly thought of something and whispered a few words to Qin Tao.
"Everyone, this may be a misunderstanding. Our ground-effect aircraft seems to have been tested here recently."
No wonder flying at low altitude and high speed over the sea, this is the normal flying mode of ground effect aircraft. It turned out to be a false alarm.
Back then, when Qin Tao went shopping for treasures at Lao Maozi, he accidentally discovered Alexeyeva, so he tricked her into coming here. He also set up a special laboratory in China and continued to study it from childhood to adulthood.
Peace Dove No. 1 is a fifty-ton small ground-effect aircraft. It is currently performing commercial transportation missions, tourism missions, etc. among various islands in the southern seas, and is well known by everyone.
Peace Dove 2 is a 200-ton medium-sized ground-effect aircraft. It can carry six anti-ship missiles on its back and fly at high speed on the sea. It is a weapon for covertly attacking the enemy. Laoba purchased a batch and achieved zero
breakthrough.
As for the one currently being tested at sea, it is naturally the Peace Dove 3. This ground-effect aircraft has been enlarged into the Caspian Sea monster it once was.
Delano opened his eyes wide and looked at the monster flying in front of him, extremely shocked.
Its overall fuselage is wide, like a ship, but this ship has two wings on it!
There is also a T-shaped vertical tail at the tail, just like an airplane. However, these are not very weird. The weirdest thing is its front. At the nose, there are short wings sticking out. There are four units on each short wing.
The engines, eight engines in total, stared at him like the eyes of eight monsters.
Monster, absolute monster!
"002 Call wild dog, please report the target's specific situation immediately!"
Delano recovered from the shock. At this time, he had already roared over the target. While pulling the stick and turning the rudder to fly back, he said on the radio: "Wild Dog reported that the target has a wide fuselage.
There are two wings and a T-shaped vertical tail. There are two engines on the side of the vertical tail that are running. There are two short wings on the nose, with four engines on each. Those engines are in a stalled state, and no one is seen.
Flame. The target has a cockpit in the front, but very few windows in the back."
After hearing these reports, Qin Tao nodded: "Okay, we can now be sure that our Peace Dove No. 3 is undergoing a trial voyage."
Peace Dove No. 3?
Makarov said: "How does it compare with the Caspian Sea Monster?"
"It should be a replica of the Caspian Sea Monster." After Qin Tao finished speaking, he looked at Xu Zhengyang: "Zhengyang, please introduce me."
"This aircraft is 106 meters long, has a wingspan of 50 meters, has a take-off weight of 500 tons, and has a payload of 200 tons. Our 50-ton main battle tank can carry four vehicles. If it is carrying personnel, it can carry 1,000 people.
A warrior, with a speed of 800 kilometers per hour, and a range that can reach any corner of the world."
Everyone was surprised.
Only a few transport aircraft in the world can achieve a load of two hundred tons and a speed of eight hundred kilometers per hour. However, transport aircraft are too expensive and the flight cost is high. Ground effect aircraft just make up for these shortcomings.
Although there are eight engines in the front of the ground effect aircraft, those engines are only used to create air cushions when taking off and landing. During normal flight, only the two cruise engines at the tail are turned on, and the wing area is not large.
The entire ground effect aircraft is held up completely by the hand of God. This makes it much more fuel efficient than a transport aircraft.
Over the years, Alexeyeva has been tinkering with this kind of thing, and it has become bigger and bigger. This 500-ton ground-effect aircraft has more military uses.
Everyone also lamented that our navy needs another big killer weapon!
Delano kept following the ground effect aircraft below, sighing as he flew, until he heard the call in the earphones, and then gave up: "Wild Dog received it, return immediately!"
If we don't return home, the fuel consumption will be too much, and we will not be able to simulate landing on the ship with a weight of 30 tons.
Now, after running back and forth like this, it consumed about 2.5 tons of fuel. When flying back, Delano once again formed a formation with the other two aircraft and flew towards the aircraft carrier.
"The wild dogs landed first, the sea pans second."
Delano did not refuse. Although he was the third one to eject when taking off, he was the first one to land. He operated the J-5 and flew smoothly along the descent route. There was almost no fluctuation in the aircraft, and then it flew steadily.
It hit the deck.
Perfect!
Zhang Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief. The maximum weight test of thirty tons is only done once. It will only be used in the future when an accident occurs. It is best not to use it forever. After the weight of 28 tons, it is no longer possible.
Smaller.
The J-15 was stable and was dragged to the parking area. The second Haipan fell down equally steadily. Although the carrier-based aviation force of the Eastern Navy has not been established for a long time, they are all elites and very skilled in technology.
.
Wang Wei landed third, and this day's test was a perfect ending.
However, after Wang Wei got off the plane, he still frowned. This time Delano acted without authorization again. I'm afraid there will be another argument when they get to the pilot conference room.
However, something surprising happened to him.
In the pilot conference room, Wang Wei first summarized the flight. The takeoff test and landing were all satisfactory. After summarizing, he continued: "Of course, there were some minor incidents during this test flight. If you have any opinions, you can speak freely.
.”
"The situation in the air is changing rapidly. There was an accident in the sky today, and the wild dog was handled very promptly." Xiang Jing was actually praising Delano!
Delano was also a little shocked. He looked at Xiang Jing with incredulous eyes. When he was sure that the other party was really praising him, he felt a little embarrassed: "I acted without permission before I received the order. This is wrong. I am
I admit my mistake here, although I think there was nothing wrong with my handling at the time, but after all, I still have to listen to the orders from my superiors."
Delano actually started to become humble? Wang Wei looked at the performance of the two people in surprise, and became even more certain: Mr. Qin has a unique vision, and Mr. Qin's handling is very good!
It's much more harmonious now.
"Wild dog, do you also think you should listen to the command of the early warning aircraft?" Who would have thought that Xiang Jing would then begin to enter an attack state.
"No, what I just said was to listen to the orders from superiors. This order should come from the ship island and from the flight wing commander. I didn't say AWACS."
Okay, it’s time to start a fight again!
When Wang Wei had a headache, an officer hurried over with information: "Report, the J-15 electronic warfare model has requested to conduct a ship landing test!"
"The electronic warfare type is coming?" Wang Wei was surprised: "Isn't this too fast?"
"Yes, they heard that our aircraft carrier was being tested and asked to come over and test it together. The superiors forwarded the application to us and it was up to us to make a decision."
"What else is there to say? Of course you are welcome." Delano said from the side: "When our carrier-based aircraft attack, they must be accompanied by electronic warfare aircraft. This is safer. The early warning aircraft will provide support for us from behind.
, the electronic warfare planes are going to charge into battle with us."
Xiang Jing frowned, but endured it. The early warning aircraft really couldn't rush forward. They were not a combat force.
"Has the electronic warfare aircraft been tested in Wasteland Village?" Wang Wei didn't dare to be too adventurous. He remembered that this aircraft was still being tested at Yanliang Flight Test Institute. Why did it suddenly come here?
"Not recently, but the aircraft body is a two-seater type of our J-15, and it is flown by veteran pilots who have taken off and landed on more than a hundred aircraft carriers."
Wang Wei frowned.
"The original airframe is used, but it's just like mounting a few pods. There shouldn't be any problems. The U.S. Navy often does this," Delano said.
Delano has the nickname "Mad Dog", so of course he is not afraid of any risks, but Wang Wei, as the captain of the carrier-based air wing, has to think about it.
Inside the ship island, countless personnel are still working.
"Report, the radar is interfered with." At this moment, the radar officer suddenly reported.
The four-sided phased array radar consumes a lot of power and has a life limit, so it is not turned on all the time. What is usually turned on is the flat-panel radar on the top of the mast. This set of radars looks very similar to the top-plate radar introduced back then, but it is not a replica.
, but an improved model, equipped on many domestic warships.
This radar is responsible for normal search tasks, and the phased array radar will be turned on when needed. At this time, Zhang Zhen heard the news that the radar was jammed, and Zhang Zhen immediately issued the order.
The four-sided phased array radar was turned on, and with the surging power supply, countless radar waves radiated around, instantly suppressing any sudden interference.
The distraction is gone.
"Humph, you are here to cause trouble for us!"
"There are so many troubles while it is still in the sea trial stage. If it is officially put into service, there will definitely be more harassment."
"What are you afraid of? We will have electronic warfare aircraft soon. If we come again next time, we can take off the electronic warfare aircraft, accurately determine the source of interference, and then teach them a lesson!" At this moment, Wang Wei's voice sounded outside: "I have decided
Yes, allow our J-15 electronic warfare aircraft to land on the ship and run in with our aircraft carrier as soon as possible!"
Originally he was still hesitant, but now he only has a sense of urgency. Various threats are everywhere. They must become stronger to protect the safety of the aircraft carrier formation.
Electronic warfare planes are coming too!
That afternoon, at around four o'clock, the electronic warfare J-15 flew directly from Yanliang to the sea, found the aircraft carrier undergoing sea trials, flew around the aircraft carrier several times, and prepared to land.
Most of the J-15s are single-seater, and only a few two-seater models are used to train pilots. They usually fly in wasteland villages and occasionally board ships. However, electronic warfare aircraft must use two-seater models. If there is only one pilot.
, simply cannot complete various complex operation tasks.
There is a big difference between the two-seater and the single-seater. It does not add a cockpit directly behind the single-seater. In that case, the pilot behind has no line of sight. Its nose is tilted further downwards, all the way to the two-seater.
The rear cockpit of the model begins to tilt downward, so that the rear seat is at the highest position, much higher than the front seat.
The front is low and the rear is high, and the two-seater has a good field of vision. It is most suitable as a trainer aircraft. Other fighter-bombers, electronic warfare aircraft, etc. are all modified from the two-seater trainer aircraft, so this structure is directly used.
Looking at the huge front and rear canopies, you can even feel the hugeness of this kind of fighter. In addition to these, the electronic fighter also has some other things, such as the inner wing pylons and the center of the air inlet.
It has a cylinder, and the cylinder at the wing tip is also larger. These are professional electronic warfare equipment.
Electronic warfare planes are finally coming to ships!
