To the north of the Sea of Japan, at the midline of the sea area, an A-50U was flying in the air at an altitude of nine kilometers. In the cabin, rows of monitors were always reflecting detectable movements within a range of nearly 400 kilometers around the Sea of Japan.
Intelligence officers are paying close attention to vague information about a hundred kilometers away.
Because the electronics industry is so bad, Xiong Da has never been able to obtain high-performance radar and radio equipment. Mao Zi always boasts that his radar is so powerful that it can roast birds, but the goals that Europe and the United States can achieve with lower power require greater power.
Okay, isn’t this a sign of poor technology?
At this moment, on the radar screen of the A-50U, the high-resolution phased array radar was completely blind, and important targets could not be seen at all. Only the meter-wave radar in the UHF band could receive certain signals.
"The empty F-35A is about 90 kilometers southeast of us. They have been approaching us quickly, but their flight path deflected two minutes ago." An air intelligence officer reported in a low voice.
The person who reported it was Chirenko who came here specially to take charge.
In the cockpit of this A-50U is not only Chirenko from the aviation industry, but also a series of officers and staff from the Xiongda Aerospace Force, the Ministry of National Defense, and even the President's Office.
Whether these people understand it or not, they are all staring at a temporary screen, but what they can see on the screen is very limited. At present, they only know that Air Force has sent the F-35, and it is very close to them. However, the specifics
Information such as orientation, altitude, etc. is completely black.
This is the flaw of meter-wave radar. It can only know that something is in a general direction, but the specific location is not clear.
"Where is the fighter plane driven by Valena?" an officer from the Ministry of Internal Affairs asked.
The air intelligence officer shook his head, "I don't know. We couldn't detect her after she took off, and we don't have a data link to contact her. Unless she actively contacted us on the public channel, or..."
"She turned on the fire control radar." A radar soldier shouted in the cabin, "She's near us."
Cherlenko immediately walked to another screen and saw an intermittent signal displayed on the screen. "She is actually thirty kilometers away from us? At such a close distance, we actually have to wait for her to turn on the fire.
It was intercepted by radar control."
An officer from the Air Force also squeezed over, looked at it for a few times and said coldly: "The fire control radar with low interception probability, Valena faces from the west to the east, and some radar waves enter the scanning range of our antenna. We
I was lucky enough to find her location. But the distance is really too close."
The A-50U's cabin is constantly warm, but a bunch of people on site are dripping with cold sweat. The distance of thirty kilometers is too close, not to mention medium-range air-to-air missiles, short-range air-to-air missiles can all hit one round. If Valena is
The enemy has already killed the A-50U.
At this moment, the two F-35s also turned on their radars for scanning. However, they could not be equipped with huge meter-wave antennas, and the airborne phased array radar had very limited detection capabilities for invisible targets. For a while, they were running in circles like headless flies.
Flying around.
"The F-35's photoelectric detection system can't find Valena?" A senior official from the Ministry of Defense of Xiong Da frowned. "The intelligence does not show that the F-35 can not turn on the radar. It can also rely on distributed photoelectric detection equipment to detect the situation on all four sides.
The target was found more than ten kilometers away? Are the Yankees bragging?"
Everyone was filled with doubts. Only Cherlenko knew better about the fighter plane driven by Valena. He said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid it's not that the Yankees are bragging, but that the Rabbit's optoelectronic equipment is more advanced. Valena at least
The two F-35s were spotted sixty kilometers away."
Wow…….
Everyone in the cabin fell silent after sighing with emotion. They also knew that their photoelectric skills were poor, but they always felt that no matter how bad they were, they were still better than rabbits.
Although there have been constant facts over the years showing that Rabbit's various technologies have been rapidly improving, Xiong Dajun is still unwilling to admit a certain reality - Rabbit not only surpasses them in some aspects, but even surpasses Eagle Sauce.
"Back when Rabbit built a radio, he asked us to help him build it." Someone in the cabin wanted to remember the past, but no one answered. Everyone knew that the furry bears were dead, so talking about the past was of no use.
"Sir, we have sent more fighter planes to support us." The radar soldier staring at the screen spoke. "Not only are fighter jets taking off from the airport in Hokkaido, but also the fighter planes in the northeastern part of the main island are also taking off. This includes even
The US military base was also alarmed."
Based on the radar echo, the type of fighter aircraft taking off can be roughly identified. Due to the urgent need to rush to the airspace where the incident occurred, all fighters chose to fly at high altitudes with low resistance. The A-50U's phased array radar finally came into play and scanned them clearly.
come out.
Most of the ones that took off were F-15Js, but there were also a few early warning aircraft mixed in. Seeing that there were not only large E-767s but also small E-2Cs among the early warning aircraft, Cheirenko whispered: "I guessed it myself."
My opponent is a stealth fighter."
Although the E-2C is a bit old, it is equipped with a meter-wave radar in the UHF band. It is still capable of detecting stealth fighters and can be responsible for guiding its own fighters.
However, light guidance is of no use, it doesn’t even have a specific position. When your own fighter planes fly over, you have to rely on your own airborne radar for search and fire control. If you really wait for you to fly over, you will have been spotted by a stealth fighter halfway.
They'll knock you down first.
This is the ability of fourth-generation aircraft to defeat third-generation aircraft. Others can see you, but you cannot see others. However, this is not a real battle, it is just inspection and expulsion. Otherwise, it will have no choice but to escape first if it doesn't give Zi Zi a hundred courages.
Seeing the mess of the empty footbath being turned upside down by a fighter plane, the guys on the A-50U were both happy and unhappy. The happy thing was that they let out a bad breath, but the bad thing was that the fighter that let out the bad breath was not theirs, but the rabbit.
made.
"The J-31 for foreign trade is so powerful, so how powerful is the J-20 for Rabbit's own use?" A deep fear filled the cabin, and everyone felt quite unhappy after being happy.
"Cherlenko, can our Su-57 reach the level of the J-31 through improvements?" a senior official from the Ministry of Defense asked in the cabin.
Cherlenko pouted, not wanting to answer the question. Of course it can be changed, but the difficulty is how much money and time it will cost.
After a few seconds of silence..., a senior official of the Ministry of National Defense asked again: "Are we currently capable of designing and manufacturing fighters like the J-31?"
Cherlenko was even more speechless... Let's talk about improving the Su-57. After all, this matter is relatively easy.
It was a quiet moment again, and in the end everyone had nothing to talk about. Chirenko ordered the air intelligence officer: "Call Valena and ask her to return. Today's test was very successful and we are very satisfied. The performance of the J-31 is worthy of our reputation."
This is an excellent super fighter jet, and we will report it to the president truthfully."
The air intelligence officer in the cabin spread his hands and said, "Unless we shout on the public channel, we have no way to contact Valena. Her fighter communication system is not compatible with ours."
Uh..., what should I do?
Shouting on a public channel is out of the question, it would be too embarrassing.
"She should be able to return on her own, right? Rabbit officials should tell her when to stop." A staff member in Boss Pu's office asked in a low voice.
Cherlenko then whispered: "But Valena is a Slavic woman."
Before he finished speaking, the soldier operating the radar exclaimed: "Valena's radar changed from fire control mode to search mode, and she began to scan a large area of the surrounding airspace. She..., she entered super patrol state.
Well, her speed exceeded Mach 1.5, and she flew southeast."
Everyone's hearts suddenly rose to their throats, and they were shocked.
