"In the direction of Bullseye 085, at a position of 120 nautical miles and an altitude of 9,000 meters, a suspicious aircraft is found rapidly approaching Stonehenge. "Sea Wolf" squadron, you are closest to the location of the target. Please turn around immediately and go to investigate."
When receiving the BRA information from the dome base, the captain of the 'Sea Wolf' squadron couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
For them, this is a routine patrol flight.
According to the arrangement, they only needed to patrol a range of about fifty nautical miles east of Stonehenge to end today's flight mission. However, they did not expect to receive such a temporary order when the mission was about to end.
And the wording of the command is also quite interesting.
Suspicious aircraft?
If a suspicious aircraft comes from the east and does not report its own information, there may not be much suspense about the camp it belongs to.
The captain looked at the instrument of his fighter plane and confirmed that there was still enough fuel, so he notified the other people in the squadron of the new order, leading everyone to leave the original route, turn to the target position and climb to altitude.
The Seawolf Squadron is a four-plane squadron that is very common in the Imperial Air Force. They once served on an aircraft carrier in the Empire. Later, all members of the squadron were transferred to a naval air station in the southern region of the Empire. Later, they were transferred to the Dome as an outstanding squadron.
.
Then they were randomly assigned to the Fourth Independent Flying Group, the new team with Wang Yu as the captain.
The four fighter planes are all single-seat F-18E "Super Hornets".
It is said that they made certain contributions in the maritime operations during the Southern War. Although they are not as dazzling as Polaris, they can be regarded as a relatively outstanding meritorious team.
When this squadron was transferred by the dome base to investigate the sudden suspicious aircraft, the Polaris Squadron had just finished the day's simulation training and conducted an intense and exciting simulated battle with another squadron from the Gensokyo base, which shocked the onlookers.
——Mainly the other members of the team they led were astonished.
The aerial combat can be described as full of beauty, but it is definitely not a good-looking but useless showpiece. They did not deliberately fly in a beautiful way, but because their flying movements themselves were at the most perfect range.
Even a simple maneuver hides an offensive as sharp as a sharp blade.
In layman's terms, the trajectories drawn by fighter planes in the sky seem to be more "symmetrical".
Is this the world of the boss? I love it.
Just when the two squadron members from Gensokyo were summarizing today's training in the mission briefing room, the base informed them of the appearance of the suspicious aircraft and the new mission of the "Sea Wolf".
As the captain of the Fourth Flying Group, Wang Yu had the right to know that a squadron under his command was assigned to handle the task.
"It seems that what I said above is correct. There are indeed restless people."
The captain of another squadron from Gensokyo heard the news and said to Wang Yu: "I thought we were going to live like this day by day in the dome base. Now it seems that the people across the sea will not let us
So comfortable.”
"I should be able to imagine this kind of development." Wang Yu shrugged: "Although it is not certain yet, it is only said to be a suspicious aircraft, but I think it should be a reconnaissance plane sent by the radical forces in Asia, and it is very close to ten.
"
"The control of this airspace has been completely closed and civil aviation organizations around the world have been notified, so those who are still flying in it are not innocent people."
I don’t know who answered: “For this suspicious aircraft, it is estimated that the final result will be expulsion or forced landing.”
Liu Lingxin thought of an unforgettable "forced landing" experience she had with her pilot a long time ago, so she couldn't help but curiously asked: "Forced landing, then, the 'Sea Wolf' should be able to handle it, right?"
"Have some confidence in the Sea Wolves. Although they are not as good as us, they are still elite. After all, their opponent is just a suspicious aircraft." The captain of the other squadron smiled and waved his hand: "Unless the Aisians come up with something new.
A sudden attack would probably cause them some trouble, but at least they could run away."
"In short, just follow the normal coping methods."
Wang Yu summarized this conversation.
Then he began to arrange "normal coping methods."
"Luo Yu, does the Fourth Brigade have any free teams?"
"Except for training and missions, the Sky Eagle Squadron is free today." Luo Yu replied after thinking for a while.
"Then let them be on standby until Sea Wolf comes back." Wang Yu nodded: "That's it."
At the same time, he complained in his heart, a sea wolf and a sky eagle, really like to name the team after animals...
In short, this is considered a routine arrangement. When a squadron goes to perform a mission that may require combat, the base needs to arrange a standby team to take over or provide support. It is not a strange thing.
But generally speaking, there will be no problems with the squadron performing the mission, so the task of this squadron on standby is nothing more than to sit by their own fighter planes and chat, wait for the squadron performing the mission to return, and then tease them a few words.
Luo Yu conveyed the news to the "Sky Eagle" squadron, so the squadron, which was originally a rest day, began to prepare.
However, although they prepared very seriously, and two of them were sitting on the fighter plane, they also believed that their preparations were actually just to be prepared.
In the end, it will always be a situation where they are smiling on the tarmac to welcome the returning mission squadron.
…………
While arrangements were being made at the base, the Seawolf Squadron had already approached the suspicious aircraft.
As usual, the Seawolf captain asked his teammates to prepare for the interception procedure, and at the same time adjusted the radio to switch to the public channel, and began to shout on the public frequency to drive away.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, the suspicious aircraft did not turn around and leave. Instead, it continued flying at the original speed, course and altitude.
The Seawolf Squadron naturally noticed this scene. They had established a radar lock on the target aircraft and reported their observations to their superiors.
The base requires them to get close to observe the identity of the aircraft, and if the opponent does not leave, they can launch deterrent shots.
The four fighter planes spread out, and the captain of the Sea Wolf gradually approached the aircraft.
The opponent is not flying very fast. At an altitude of 9,000 meters, the airspeed should be just over 300 knots. The fighter plane can easily catch up.
Relying on radar tracking and ranging, the Seawolf captain skillfully controlled his approach to the target, and quickly approached from behind to within a range where he could clearly see the target aircraft. Then he squinted his eyes,
Identify the model of this thing.
The wing-body integrated flying wing structure has no obvious distinction between the fuselage and the wing, has no vertical tail, and is propelled by jets. The entire body adopts a flat design. If you don't look at the jagged structure at the tail, the whole body is in the shape of a wide triangle.
layout.
But that structure... Seawolf Squadron doesn't look like it can have a pilot sitting in it.
Seawolf Squadron got closer and looked at the aircraft more carefully.
In addition to the obvious appearance, a series of semi-buried equipment can be seen on the belly of the aircraft. For example, the pod system that Captain Seawolf is familiar with seems to be additionally installed on this aircraft——
However, it is these devices that destroy the stealth appearance of the entire fuselage, allowing it to be captured by radar at a long distance.
The aircraft's painting is all white, and there are no obvious identification marks. However, seeing this kind of aircraft in this place, its identity is self-evident. It is definitely not a civilian aircraft.
"Well, the target can be identified." He reported to his superiors in the channel: "The target is an unknown type of drone, which carries obvious reconnaissance equipment. It is temporarily impossible to judge its armament status."
"Try to make a probing attack with weapons, and if possible, force it to land." The order from the superior came quickly.
So Captain Seawolf called on other team members to come closer to him, and at the same time turned on the weapon safety and switched to the cannon.
Then he aimed at the side of the drone, pulled the trigger, and fired a string of tracer bullets.
That bright trail streaked across the side of the drone. Regardless of whether the drone was automatically controlled or someone was behind it, you would definitely notice this scene that was full of warning.
However, the drone still flew in the direction of Stonehenge.
"It seems that we have encountered a tough situation this time."
Captain Seawolf fired several times and saw that the drone had no intention of adjusting its course, so he reported the news to the base.
At the same time, he asked the base for permission to conduct an attack.
The base thought for a moment and agreed to Sea Wolf's application.
So the squadron leader locked onto the target drone again, and then selected a combat bomb.
When I heard the buzzing sound of the infrared seeker successfully locking on to the heat source of the drone's tail nozzle with the help of radar, I announced on the channel that all friendly units should exit the afterburner, and then pressed the weapon release button.
.
The infrared combat bombs hung on the wingtip pylons suddenly flew out.
Seeing the missile flying towards the direction of the drone, Captain Seawolf was already sure that the missile would hit successfully. He had already imagined in his mind the scene of the drone falling apart in pieces.
But what happened next shocked Captain Seawolf.
When the missile approached the final distance and was about to hit, the drone, which was flying smoothly, suddenly flipped sideways and turned sharply. With the heat decoy bomb suddenly bursting out from the tail of the drone, it suddenly
Under the water mist that covered the surface due to low pressure, the drone completed the direction change in an almost impossible attitude. Although the missiles coming from behind also immediately adjusted their direction, the turning speed of the drone at this moment was
It seemed to have exceeded the steering ability of the missile at this speed, so the trajectory of the missile became a straight line after a slight deviation, and then it contacted the bait and exploded into a ball of fire.
The captain of the Sea Wolf was stunned, what kind of material is this thing made of? What kind of mobility is it like a UFO?
The overload at that moment definitely exceeded the limit that the human body can withstand.
This is also good news, it is confirmed that the thing is indeed a drone.
It immediately adjusted its attitude and returned to level flight after turning, but its speed also slowed down visibly to the naked eye, and it was using its own power to continuously accelerate - this made Captain Seawolf feel a little reassured, at least it did not turn at a small angle and remained the same.
Despite the magical ability of speed, this drone still has to follow the laws of physics.
Captain Seawolf was naturally cautious for being able to get to this point, so he did not want to be arrogant, but called his teammates to come together to attack the drone. Anyway, the empire was rich and powerful, and the missiles would not be used in vain.
The lion fights the rabbit with all its strength, and the Sea Wolf Squadron is determined to use multiple missiles to destroy the glory of this seemingly flexible drone.
So the four Super Hornets locked on the target, and in a split second, infrared bombs and radar bombs attacked the drone at the same time.
The drone swayed left and right under the threat of missiles, dodging the two missiles that struck immediately, and then...
He was hit by the third missile volley, followed by the fourth missile's last hit.
The aircraft body in high overload steering was turned into fragments.
There was no way, four high-performance air-to-air missiles attacked one after another, and the drone had to be shot down no matter how crazy it was.
Captain Seawolf breathed a sigh of relief and reported the confirmation of the shootdown to the base.
The superiors expressed satisfaction and did not care about the number of missiles used.
So Captain Seawolf gathered his team members and the four fighter planes reorganized.
Just when the formation was almost completed, a sudden change occurred.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The radar warning receivers of the four fighter planes simultaneously emitted harsh warning sounds, skipping the reminder of being scanned by the radar, and directly turned into missiles.
The four pilots were suddenly startled by the warning of an attack, and then glanced at the radar warning interface——
Missile attack from behind!
But how could there be no advance warning and nothing displayed on the data link system?!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
I don’t know who shouted something in the channel.
As he shouted, the four fighter planes immediately dispersed and evaded according to the direction of the missile's incoming attack.
The Sea Wolf Squadron has been famous for a long time, and it is easy to avoid missiles. Although the unknown enemy suddenly attacked this time, they still have speed and height, so they only need to avoid the first wave of attacks before turning around to find enemy planes.
s position……
Captain Seawolf thought this, and then he concentrated on operating the fighter plane. Although it was not as weird as the previous drone, he relied on his exquisite posture skills to avoid the first missile attack.
But at the moment the first missile passed by, the second missile appeared.
Not only did he appear, but he was very close, and he caught the gap where he hid from the first missile.
"Fuck!"
He only had time to utter such an exclamation, and then immediately subconsciously evaded it.
The second missile passed by again, and Captain Seawolf breathed a sigh of relief, but the third and fourth missiles had already come quickly...
"I..."
Captain Seawolf's fighter plane was hit by this third hidden missile, and the weapon exploded.
At the moment of being hit, the captain of the Sea Wolf glanced at his teammates, and a white umbrella flower was slowly falling down.
It turns out that his teammates were shot down faster than him...
