After a period of time, the two fighter planes took off and flew to the mission airspace.
Although the distance is far, the range of these two fighters is pretty good - although Luo Yu's CFA-44 is a little short due to the compression of the internal fuel tank space by the weapon module, it is not so short that it cannot complete long-distance missions.
situation.
After taking off from the airport, the two fighter planes directly rose to a cruising altitude of more than 10,000 meters. They did not enter supersonic cruise, but kept flying slowly towards the target point at the most fuel-efficient speed.
This is not a very urgent task, which can be seen from the non-serious attitude of the superiors during the briefing.
This is not surprising, the other party is just a miscellaneous force, and the task of clearing them is very simple for the Imperial Air Force, so no matter how serious the briefing officers and task planners are, they cannot be serious.
After a period of slow flight, they arrived at the expected contact point.
Here, they made contact with the early warning aircraft on the corresponding frequency, and the early warning aircraft told them intelligence information about the target separatist organization - naturally they did not notice anything, so both fighters and early tanks were honestly in their hiding places.
Being a lamb to the slaughter is the simplest task for using weapons in actual combat.
But Wang Yu always felt that this did not seem to test the effectiveness of the electromagnetic gun in air-to-air - so he thought about whether he could let the two mig-23s of the separatist organization take off, and then he would shoot them down.
There are many Imperial Air Force fighter planes around as preparations, so there is no risk.
The early warning aircraft thought about his request for a moment, and then felt that what Wang Yu said was correct, so he notified a squadron on standby nearby, allowing this squadron to be exposed to the view of the separatist organization for several minutes.
According to the characteristics of that separatist organization, they will definitely let their fighter planes take off.
Sure enough, when Wang Yu and the others were about to arrive at the mission area, the early warning aircraft reported that two mig-23s had taken off from a small airport occupied by the separatist organization and were climbing to high altitude.
Wang Yu nodded with satisfaction, and then pointed the fighter plane in the direction marked on the situation map.
He needs to wait for the enemy plane to get closer, and then directly attack with the electromagnetic gun.
In the previous time, he had always done very well with the electromagnetic gun simulated shooting, and achieved very good results in the simulated air combat in the simulator. Now that he has entered the actual combat, he is not nervous. As long as the situation is similar, he will
Can successfully shoot down enemy planes.
However, the electromagnetic gun is an unguided weapon after all. Although when the fighter aircraft aims roughly at the enemy aircraft's position, the pylon can make small adjustments based on the radar locking the enemy aircraft's position, there are too many factors in the shooting process.
It can affect the reception of the attack. For this kind of "straight-line" attack weapon, once the error is even a slight difference, the error outside a certain range can be said to be a huge loss, so using this thing for long-distance sniping is good for
Pilots still have sufficient requirements for the stability of fighter aircraft control and shooting attitude.
Wang Yu thinks that the main purpose of this electromagnetic gun is to win by surprise in combat. After all, the enemy plane is not warned of attack. Because of its high speed, don't delay it. Just put it on the enemy plane and fight...
After a while, the radar locked firmly on one of the enemy planes.
The enemy plane's radar warning sounded, and they quickly turned to Wang Yu's direction with the radar fully turned on. However, due to the radar invisibility of the x-02s, early radars could not detect it at all, so the enemy pilots could only turn their eyes black.<
/p>
The Polaris team discussed it and decided that Wang Yu would take the first shot.
"The lock is completed and ready to fire." Wang Yu said routinely: "Then, I will take the first shot down in this actual battle."
"Excuse me." Luo Yu replied, "If possible, please shoot down these two enemy planes. After all, I am carrying an admm weapon module, so it is definitely better to clear ground targets than to hit a target in the air.
Better."
"Then it's better for me to be respectful than obey your orders." Wang Yu nodded, "I will carry out the anti-air mission."
After Wang Yu finished speaking, Liu Lingxin switched the fighter weapon in the system in front of her, adjusted the launch mode, and replaced the special weapon module.
The complex electromagnetic railgun mounted in the bomb bay in the middle of the fuselage inlet extends and is deployed under the action of a mechanical device.
While Liu Lingxin was doing these tasks, Wang Yu held the joystick steady with both hands and gently adjusted the direction of the fighter's nose, so that the aiming ring that appeared on the helmet's sight as the weapon was switched was aligned with the general flight of the enemy aircraft.
Direction.
Advanced helmet aiming is a good thing, it is much more flexible than HUD. Even if Wang Yu looks to the side, the screen on his helmet can still display the forward attack position of the fighter on the side.
Liu Lingxin quickly completed her work. The enemy aircraft was locked with a diamond-shaped locking frame, and there was an attack point slightly in front of the enemy aircraft's flight direction. This was the advance calculated by the computer based on the surrounding environmental factors and the enemy's and our flight postures. Before launching the weapon, the first thing Wang Yu had to do was to aim the attack direction of the electromagnetic gun at this advance mark, and then let the minimal deflection of the electromagnetic gun connection mechanism stabilize the tracking of the enemy aircraft.
This thing still projects physical ammunition. Although the speed reaches Mach 8, it is still incomparable to the zero-latency laser system. Using this type of electromagnetic gun weapon to attack at a long distance still requires prediction.
In the same way, enemy aircraft can be evaded with a little maneuvering.
At this time, in the eyes of Luo Yu, who was flying on the flank, the hatch under the X-02S fighter driven by Wang Yu unfolded, and two black rails occupying more than half the length of the fuselage protruded from the original bomb bay.
The horizontal storage posture rotates half a turn and then transforms into a vertical parallel guide rail that is a certain distance up and down.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
These two guide rails are connected to the folding mechanism fixed in the bomb cabin. Several pipelines are connected to the energy supply equipment hidden in the bomb cabin above the mechanism and the tail end of the guide rail. One is fixed on the intermediate connecting mechanism between the guide rail and the bomb cabin.
The black box unfolded downwards and placed a shining silver metal shell in the waiting area in the upper middle of the guide rail.
"The electric light started to flash on your guide rail. Did you start powering the weapon?"
After a blink of an eye, Luo Yu noticed that the rails of the electromagnetic gun that had been deployed suddenly began to flash with blue light, so she reported to Wang Yu what she saw outside.
"Well, I'm ready to shoot." Wang Yu said cheerfully: "This is called - the flashing electric light on your guide rail is my unchanging belief in this life. I am the only electromagnetic rail gun that will last forever."
Erin: "..."
Liu Lingxin: "..."
Luo Yu: "..."
Selena: "..."
What happened to the speech I just made suddenly in the second year of middle school? Is it an illusion...
In order to ensure immediacy, after the electromagnetic gun is deployed, the attack starts and launches almost instantly. Although it needs to be recharged later to prepare for the next launch, it has no impact on the first attack.
At this time, the electromagnetic gun guide rail mounted under the x-02s fuselage was already filled with flashing blue-purple electric light.
The voltage difference between the two guide rails is enough. At this time, as long as the metal projectile falls into the middle of the guide rail and forms a closed loop, the electromagnetic field will form a strong electromagnetic driving force on the projectile and project the projectile out.
"Ready!" Liu Lingxin said to Wang Yu.
"Everything in the weapon system is normal and can be launched." Eileen also informed the situation of the fighter jet simultaneously.
After confirming for the last time that the enemy's position and his own aiming position were correct, Wang Yu didn't know whether he was talking to himself or to other people in Polaris. In short, he said while pulling the trigger: "Start attacking!" At this moment, an extremely brief harsh sound piercing the sky broke the monotony of the roar of the aircraft engine. This was the explosion caused by metal projectiles cutting through the air at high speed and breaking the speed of sound.
Driven by the electromagnetic force, the metal projectile accelerated to eight times the speed of sound using the guide rail in an extremely short period of time, whizzing away in the direction pointed by the electromagnetic gun muzzle. Several circular rings produced by the compressed air were visible to the naked eye.
The shock wave appeared in front of x-02s in the blink of an eye.
To attack a target outside visual range, the missile takes about ten seconds to arrive, but for this new weapon, the time required is almost negligible.
After a delay of half a second, Wang Yu noticed that the enemy aircraft locked by his radar suddenly began to fly abnormally, and the locking frame suddenly began to fall rapidly, and disappeared directly from the radar after a moment.
A few seconds later, the early warning aircraft sent a message confirming the downing.
The airborne electromagnetic gun won the first battle.
"Beautiful!" There was even a sound of applause from Luo Yu's side, and he didn't know how she did it.
Wang Yu nodded with satisfaction. The first application of this weapon was indeed extraordinary. The pilots of the separatist organization were probably scared to death by now. None of the enemies were seen, and there was no warning of incoming missiles. As a result, one of his teammates had already died.
Go to hell...
Sure enough, the other enemy plane shown on the situation map immediately turned around and ran away, diving while running.
"Run away..." Wang Yu curled his lips.
"He ran away." Liu Lingxin agreed.
"I originally wanted to try the effect of close combat and let the enemy take a look at this new fighter plane." Wang Yu sighed. He switched the target and aimed at the second enemy plane. "Then, I want to take a look at the mig-23."
Which one is faster or electromagnetic cannon shells? Lingxin, please switch to a three-shot burst mode for me."
"Okay." Liu Lingxin nodded and quickly clicked a few times on the screen to complete the attack mode switch.
At this time, the electromagnetic gun still needs to be recharged before it can be fired, so Wang Yu has to wait a while.
He maintained a speed similar to that of the enemy plane and pursued the direction in which the enemy plane was escaping.
Until Irene told him: "The weapon is 100% charged."
So, Wang Yu pulled the trigger on the last enemy plane.
