Before Ji Zhou and Iris squadrons, several Yin Mulan air force squadrons had already taken off.
These Yimlan Air Force squadrons are composed of F-16 fighters. The four pylons of the fighter planes are equipped with professional anti-radiation missiles, which are responsible for performing sead (suppression of enemy air defenses, that is, air defense suppression) tasks.
In other words, they need to suppress the Custer air defense position that has been identified in the salient.
As long as Custer's radar is turned on, it will be struck by the thunder of anti-radiation missiles.
Of course, the Custer Federation has deployed many air defense positions in the salient, and it is naturally impossible to completely clear them out just by relying on the anti-radiation operations of a few Yimlan squadrons - so the imperial military who planned this mission,
There is no appetite to eat all the Custer Federation's air defense positions in one go. The requirement of this sead mission is simply to open a channel so that subsequent troops can enter the Custer-controlled area and attack the latter's airport.
Just bombing.
Therefore, the targets of the attack are only a few positions on the only way.
In this door-kicking mission, these squadrons of Yimlan people were the ones who fired the first shot.
While Daylight Squadron and Iris Squadron were still starting up, they had already taken off and rushed to the starting point of the attack in their mission briefing. They waited for the mission to start and dropped their missiles directly on the Custer's heads.
Of course, it is impossible for them to destroy all enemy air defenses on the mission route.
In addition to fixed air defense missile positions, air defense systems also include mobile air defense that can be easily transferred, as well as field air defense for ground troops. Although these air defense systems do not pose as great a threat as fixed air defense missile positions, they should not be underestimated.
As the kick-in mission is the beginning of the salient offensive, it must be done well to get a good start for subsequent missions. Therefore, the Yinmulan people naturally cannot be stingy with the amount of effort they invest in this mission.
Therefore, in addition to the two Yimlan fighter squadrons that attack fixed air defense positions, there are two Yimlan air force squadrons that will perform ad hoc suppression missions, that is, they will patrol the main mission airspace to attract ground forces from Custer.
The focus of air defense is to strike immediately once a suspicious air threat appears on the ground - using agm-65 Maverick air-to-ground missiles, agm-88 anti-radiation missiles or even some cluster bombs that can be dropped at high altitudes. After all, these field air defenses are no better than fixed air defenses. They are unable to launch attacks against targets at a certain distance.
(The setting has been changed here for the plot, that is, the attack capability of mobile air defense is limited, and it is specially noted to prevent cheating.)
But there is one more thing to know. The so-called air defense and air defense are nine out of ten, which means that even if the air defense system is excellent, you cannot sit back and relax. In modern warfare, spears are always stronger than shields, and air defense alone is completely insufficient to deal with the opponent's air threats. The best air defense weapon is never surface-to-air missiles, but fighter aircraft.
Therefore, in addition to these Yin Mulan squadrons that perform ground strikes, there are two Yin Mulan squadrons that will perform air combat patrol missions. Their mission is to attack the enemy after the empire's early warning aircraft "Red Moon" detects a threat.
Go and deal with it immediately.
Both squadrons are composed of six aircraft, and they are the rare heavy-duty twin-engine air superiority fighter squadrons in Yinmulan. The squadrons all use su-30mk2 fighters. The improved radar system is more advanced than the original su-30 basic model.
, its air-to-air capabilities and air-to-air time are equally excellent, and it can carry a large number of air-to-air missiles to perform combat missions-this adds up to a total of twelve fighters. Under the command of an excellent early warning aircraft, it can control the air superiority of a large area of airspace.
.
In this door-kicking operation, the Yinmulan people dispatched a total of six squadrons and a total of thirty fighters. They were divided into different periods in a large area to cooperate with the Jizhou and Iris squadrons to perform tasks, which is enough to reflect their understanding of this country.
The importance of this action.
You know, a joint dispatch of thirty fighter planes is considered a very large-scale fighter operation.
After all, the nature of modern air combat has undergone major changes. The cost has increased countless times compared with the original propeller, and the combat time has been infinitely shortened. Situations like propellers competing with each other for more than ten minutes will no longer occur.
In other words, in modern air combat, it is difficult to see a large melee of hundreds of fighters.
As an aside, air operations do not require more fighter planes, because the mission area is just that big. If there are too many planes crowded in the airspace, the need for coordination and communication will increase exponentially, and the need for unexpected situations will increase exponentially.
The response ability will also plummet - a large number of fighter planes enter the mission area noisily, and it is easy to become unable to coordinate.
To give a simple example, you are a fighter pilot performing a bombing mission in a large-scale air operation, but according to the mission process, you need to wait for friendly forces to complete the suppression mission before you can enter the site.
But when a bunch of fighter planes responsible for suppressing the enemy's air defense flew lively to the enemy's position, they found that the number of enemy air defenses was more than what was mentioned in the intelligence, and the suppression could not be completed immediately - this was considered very surprising.
Normal unexpected situations, after all, the intelligence cannot be completely accurate, so the risks and response situations will be mentioned in the mission briefing.
So the early warning aircraft tells you to let your formation wait in the current airspace.
And not only the fighter planes performing bombings have to wait, but the troops who are also waiting to enter the theater to perform other tasks also have to wait. When they wait, the problem becomes big.
Those fighter planes performing air superiority missions have to patrol at high intensity during this period. They have to engage enemy planes and avoid missiles. They do not have the ability to wait for such a long time.
So when the friendly forces were carrying out additional air defense suppression, the air superiority fighters that were supposed to provide full protection ran out of oil and were lubricated first...
Since this is a large-scale air operation, the early warning aircraft needs to coordinate and command too many units, and it is inevitable that they will focus on one and lose the other. Therefore, new fighters are mobilized to take over the air control, make statistics on ground air defense suppression, plan the withdrawal routes of friendly forces, and coordinate the fighters that are out of fuel.
After aerial refueling is completed, the battlefield will be chaotic. Even if there is no chaos, it will be a waste of time.
However, you may feel that since the chaos is over, the ground air defense has been suppressed, and the friendly air superiority units have returned, it is your turn to take the field...
Well, I'm sorry, you are almost out of gas after circling for such a long time...
Just drop the bomb wherever you want and return home.
The final result is that the actions that should be completed cannot be completed, and ammunition and fuel are wasted.
This is just the follow-up result of an accident. If there are more accidents, the accumulation of various units will be fatal. For example, a malfunction occurs during the refueling process, or some fighters that were originally performing certain tasks have a temporary accident.
Problems that are easy to deal with in small-scale air missions, but become extremely difficult in large-scale operations.
Think about it, playing Red Alert on the computer and controlling the AI that acts exactly according to your orders will sometimes be a mess, not to mention that the air combat operations of real pilots on the early warning aircraft are not coordinated in real time.<
/p>
Within a certain number of units, they can have clear division of labor and orderly coordination.
But as the number of units increases, they have no resources to spare...
In short, the purpose of saying all this is to prove that you should not underestimate the six squadrons and thirty fighter planes dispatched by the Yinmulans. This is enough to show that they have spent a lot of money and invested a lot of money in order to successfully launch the offensive on the salient.
air power.
Oh my god, this can actually come back.
However, the most critical part of this operation actually has nothing to do with the Yin Mulan people.
Since the operation was planned by the empire's officer corps, the most critical part of this operation was actually carried out by the Extreme Day Squadron and the Iris Squadron.
As for the other Yin Mulan squadron, it is completely a prerequisite for the main goal of the mission to be successfully achieved.
You know, what is door kicking action?
The so-called door kicking operation is the sudden offensive when launching an attack on the enemy. It is like breaking into a room. Kicking the door in will catch the enemy off guard more than slowly pushing the door in. So, this door
The harder you kick, the better way to kick the door is to knock it off the door frame directly.
Therefore, the main goal of this mission is definitely not to cause a slight blow to Custer's army, but to completely abolish the ability of Custer Air Force fighters to take off from the frontline airport to reinforce friendly forces in the salient for a period of time.
As the saying goes, it is better to draw fuel from the cauldron than to stop the boil. When an angel is holding Orisa, you must cut the angel first.
Directly raising the enemy's frontline base is much more effective than constantly fighting for air supremacy.
Therefore, the F-15e responsible for precision bombing of the airport runway and taxiway, and the Su-37 responsible for providing cover for them, are the most critical part of the mission.
But as I said just now, the scale of this mission is not small, and all six squadrons have their own responsibilities.
If they are executed at the same time, it is indeed easy to cause problems, so the execution time of these squadrons is separated. For example, the f-15e and su-37, which are responsible for the most important tasks, will wait at the airport and prepare only if the front line goes well.
Take off.
Therefore, about half an hour after the first batch of fighters took off, the early warning aircraft "Red Moon" received their report that the first batch of air defenses had been successfully suppressed. Only then was it determined that the mission could continue, and the two squadrons of Jizhou and Iris started from
The base soars into the sky.
They need to rush to the first waypoint and then wait for further news from friendly forces.
There are more than one or two enemy air defenses, so the suppression of the first batch can only be said to be going smoothly. The subsequent air superiority fighters can enter the enemy's airspace for warning, and shoot down the enemy fighters under the guidance of the early warning aircraft. The fleet is on standby.
You can also start patrolling.
But like the F-15e that bombs the airport deeply, you have to wait for them to destroy another group of air defenses before they can continue their action.
However, this waypoint is already at the edge of the enemy's airspace. As long as they have permission to continue the mission, Wang Yu and the others can enter the enemy's airspace as soon as possible and rush to the target airport to start bombing in the shortest possible time. p>
While waiting at the waypoint, Wang Yu began to ask Liu Lingxin to check the weapon system.
In this mission, he and Wenxuan's F-15Es needed to use jdam bombs to bomb the airport runway, taxiway and apron. These jdam bombs are one thousand pounds gbu-32 with penetrating warheads that can explode in a delayed manner.
, using a ninety-degree incident angle, it is possible to use kinetic energy to "bump away" the runway after hitting the runway, and then explode internally, exerting the full power of the explosion, completely destroying the foundation of the entire runway, causing serious damage that is difficult to repair.

Airport runways, especially those of military airports, are very solid. If an instantaneous explosive bomb explodes at the moment of contact, it may only open a small hole on the runway and will not damage the general surface on the opposite side of the runway.
Structure, base staff only need to fill the hole to restore the use of the airport.
But if the foundation of the base runway is directly blown up, it will not take ten days and a half to repair it.
One thousand pounds of aerial bombs are loaded with 200 kilograms of explosives, so the power can be imagined.
And each F-15e can be said to be fully loaded with bombs. One plane has six thousand-pound bombs, and the two planes have a total of twelve bombs. If they are hit hard, it will be enough to paralyze this Custer's frontline air force.
Base.

Liu Lingxin gave Wang Yu a thumbs up to express her understanding, and at the same time she began to inspect the pod.
JDAM bomb is a general term for a type of bomb, not a specific model.
But since it is a general term, it means that all jdam attack processes are similar.
The general use is to enter the attack path point in the fighter before taking off, which is the pre mode. The bomb automatically selects a path point as the attack point, and then automatically flies to that coordinate position after dropping the bomb.
For example, in a certain fighter jet simulation game, the most fun thing in multiplayer dynamic PVE is to enter all the enemy ground targets before taking off, and then fly over the target with a jdam and use too mode to explode randomly. The efficiency is much better than
The calf is much taller...
But this time, in order to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of the attack, the two F-15e did not use this troublesome method of setting coordinate points, but decided to use a more precise attack method.
Therefore, in this attack plan, it is necessary to use a useful tool of the fighter plane-the targeting pod.
When the aiming pod points there, the coordinates and altitude of the target can be calculated through the GPS function.
This target point can be used as a temporary coordinate point and synchronized to the jdam bomb for use.
Therefore, in this mission, compared to Wang Yu, Liu Lingxin's task is more important. After the fighter plane arrives over the target, she needs to determine the specific attack point of the bomb through the pod, and then synchronize it to each jdam bomb.
OK.
Wang Yu only needs to look at the shooting range, and then shoot the space six times in a row... Oh, no, he presses the release button six times in a row to release all the jdams and let them fly to the target on their own.
On a single-seat fighter, a pod is used to find the target, determine the coordinates, and synchronize them to the jdam. These tasks are handled by the pilot, so it is really convenient to have a back seat to help handle these things.
Soon, they got news about the early warning aircraft "Red Moon".
The air defense suppression at the front is going smoothly, and they can begin to enter.
