Chapter275 The struggle between man and machine (confident)
It is indeed difficult for a fighter jet's radar to lock on to these drones with excellent stealth performance.
The unique design gives it a sufficient stealth coefficient, and the special absorbing material also strengthens its ability to resist radar detection and locking. Because of this, it is not until the Gensokyo brigade and the drone group are about ten nautical miles away that the former can
The radar lock on the target can be completed - but this lock is not stable. As the drone maneuvers, it is likely to lose lock.
This is also the advantage of the drone swarm. Their small size, fast speed, and stealth can ensure that they are not exposed to fireworks from long distances, can successfully stand out, and then use their numerical advantage and maneuverability advantage to attack the target.
Especially when approaching the target, they will even use some special means - such as low-altitude flying and the like to make the target unaware of where they are, and then launch a sudden attack. This is something that the expelled Sea Wolf Squadron is well aware of.
experience.
And now, they plan to replicate this approach.
The moment the drone swarm was discovered by the radar of the Gensokyo fighter plane, the originally neat formation, like a copy and paste, was immediately disbanded. These drones equipped with Asia's ace pilot AI immediately maneuvered in different directions, while letting
Gensokyo's radar was unlocked, and while trying to maneuver into the blind spot of the latter's radar, it continued to approach.
The radar detection range of a fighter jet is a pyramid with the radar as its vertex and forward. The radar beam continuously scans within this cone. If you want to expand the area covered by this cone, you must extend the detection time.
The drone can actually accurately predict the target radar mode based on the time when the radar beam scans the aircraft. Therefore, such a maneuver at the most suitable time will naturally successfully escape the radar scanning range of the fighter aircraft.
Even though the drone swarm was very close, even close to the direct visual range, the pilots of the Gensokyo Brigade were still unable to detect their traces by relying only on the radar of the fighter planes.
But fortunately, the trump card of the Gensokyo Brigade is not the advanced fighter aircraft, but the bug-level all-round situational awareness of the drones without blind spots - after the drone group enters the detection range of the drones, their movements are very important to the fantasy.
It is no secret that the Township Brigade is concerned. It is simply like pulling cigarettes, stopping the boat, driving and washing within ten kilometers of Annapolis, and then being evicted by the radar. It makes the world focus on you...
However, the process of these UAVs evading radar detection by judging the frequency of radar beam scanning and using their concealment and maneuverability to avoid radar detection really surprised the pilots of the Gensokyo Brigade.
"These drones... are really powerful." Wang Yu sighed: "This may be the power of technology. If we let this technology develop for a while, maybe there will be no need for pilots like us in the future."
"Intelligence is the future development trend." Captain Zhang continued: "But so far, they have not threatened the existence of the pilot profession, so we still have the capital to fight against them."
Captain Zhang told the AWACS aircraft the news by the way, and asked the AWACS aircraft to pass it on to the pilots of other groups to keep them vigilant. Although the AWACS aircraft did not know how Gensokyo got the news before engaging the enemy, it still attached great importance to this information.
, immediately notify all pilots who are about to engage in combat with AWACS aircraft, so that everyone can be more vigilant,
The drones that have lost their advantage of surprise attack are left with only their maneuverability.
Although it is a pity that we cannot use missiles to shoot down all the drones from a long distance, for the pilots in Gensokyo, they are not afraid of fighting these drones in close combat. Cannons and combat bombs are just for this situation.
Designed.
More than fifty drones were divided into four batches, rushing towards the Gensokyo brigade from four directions: left, right, side, high altitude and low altitude.
Knowing their movements through the machine girl, Captain Zhang immediately made arrangements and adjusted the formation of the brigade according to the number of four batches of drones. Different formations will be responsible for different groups of drones.
The Polaris Squadron and another two-plane squadron, with five fighter planes, will attack the twenty drones attacking at low altitude.
The formation in Gensokyo dispersed, and the human-piloted fighter jets were about to have a showdown with the purely mechanical drones.
The battle started first with the pilots from Gensokyo.
To be precise, it was Wang Yu's electromagnetic gun that fired first.
This kind of weapon, which has a range far beyond that of a cannon and does not cause early warning for drones, is simply a combat weapon at this time - those drones may have optical sensors that can identify the cannon fired by the fighters fighting them.
They move and evade, but no matter how powerful these optical sensors are, they cannot identify an electromagnetic artillery shell flying towards them at eight times the speed of sound.
Moreover, the drone flies stably during the approach. As long as the movement is steady when launching, it will be easy to hit.
A drone flying smoothly at low altitude was suddenly smashed into pieces by a direct shot from the sky, and then quickly fell to the sea.
This also became the first result of this air battle.
With Wang Yu's electromagnetic gun attack, the drone's intelligence judged that it was no longer necessary to continue approaching at low altitude, so they all accelerated towards Wang Yu who was at high altitude. The thrust-to-weight ratio of this drone seemed to be very high.
They were so strong that they could continuously increase their speed at an unimaginable acceleration while climbing at a large angle. Wang Yu and the others were extremely surprised to see them.
In an instant, the drone came within visual range.
Those flying drones have a lot of visual impact. They are arranged in a uniform formation with basically the same spacing and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The silver-white metal shell reflects the rising sun, and even has a strange sense of beauty.
.
And Wang Yu and the others also unceremoniously presented the hospitality to the guests. The three fighter planes except Wang Yu and Luo Yu took the lead in launching missiles, and several white tail flames were directed at the oncoming drone.
And go.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Aren't you going to launch missiles?"
Wang Yu noticed that Luo Yu did not raise the module of her fighter plane and asked subconsciously.
He couldn't fire the electromagnetic gun because it was charging, but Luo Yu was a little confused about it.
"Let them get closer." Luo Yu replied.
Almost at the same time, Wang Yu and the others heard a crazy warning from the radar warning system of their fighter plane.
Then they saw a swarm of drones in front of them firing salvos at them.
For ordinary pilots, it is definitely a frightening scene - dozens of white smoke representing high-speed missiles are rushing towards you in front, which is full of pressure and excitement.
Faced with this kind of attack, if you are not careful, your life will start all over again.
But after all, Wang Yu and the others have seen a lot through hundreds of battles, so this salvo of missiles is not enough to frighten them.
The opponent's speed was too fast, and the missiles launched by the drones did not have such good guidance performance. Wang Yu and the others just threw baits, made two sharp turns and then rolled the barrels to constantly adjust the drone's preview point, but they were too late to deal with them.
The missile that had turned to complete tracking passed by, leaving it behind. After a moment, it automatically exploded, forming an ugly cloud of explosion smoke.
The missiles launched by Murong Lan and the others also slammed into the swarm of evading drones at this time. Two of them hit the target, causing the two drones to lose their ability to fly and start to emit black smoke.
Fall.
After this exchange, the distance between the drone group and Wang Yu and the others became even closer.
But the behavior of the UAV group that they judged to be evasive caused them to temporarily lose the capital to continue approaching. They had just dispersed the formation and lost some speed. They needed to regroup the troops, no, reorganize the formation and continue to approach Wang Yu and the others.
Face, turning the battle in the entire airspace into a big brawl where they have the most advantage.
When Luo Yu saw this scene, he decisively chose to seize this opportunity.
"Look at me next."
She immediately broke away from the formation and began to climb alone.
Wang Yu seems to understand what she wants to do. The ADMM weapon system she carries can lock twelve drones at a time. Facing such a large-scale enemy, compared to Wang Yu's one-on-one specialized fighter aircraft,
Her CFA-44 can be even better.
In Luo Yu's cockpit, she lightly slid her hand on the fighter's console twice to activate the weapon system of her fighter. The missile launcher originally hidden in the fuselage rose upwards, and on her helmet
In the aiming field of view, red mark boxes that represent locking light up one after another, and each mark box represents a flying drone.
She climbed higher to get a better view, and the drone groups that were still some distance away and still reorganizing became the best targets at this moment.
The number of locking frames soon reached the limit of her fighter's radar system to simultaneously track and lock targets.
A total of twelve drones were locked by the radar, and as Luo Yu pressed the launch button, the vertical launch system emitted bursts of slight explosions, and a series of missiles were first launched from the "air cruiser" by the weapon module's own power equipment.
It was launched in mid-air, adjusted its direction in mid-air, then suddenly ignited a second time, accelerating towards the drones that were currently slowing down.
Wang Yu, who was at a height below, saw twelve missile trails overhead like meteors rushing towards the drone group.
It's called a realistic version of Oriental Fantasyland. Now let's see how these drones avoid this "barrage".
Can these drones be avoided? Probably.
Can they all be avoided? That is absolutely not possible.
Wang Yu saw that although a few missiles were deftly avoided by several drones, most of them still hit the target. In just a blink of an eye, he saw more than five explosions.
The drone formation that had just gathered was disrupted again, and the wreckage of the downed drone was scattered in the explosion.
The machine girl quickly tallied up the results of the battle, and Wang Yu couldn't help but curl his lips. With Luo Yu's full missile launch, six of the originally dense UAV formations were evaporated in an instant - he had just relied on the surprise attack and the electromagnetic cannon to defeat him.
After one drone entered the CD, Luo Yu's result of this salvo evaporated more than a quarter of the drones...
This ADMM is really outrageous.
Several CFA-44 fighters can exert extraordinary fire suppression.
Although the ADMM system needs to enter a non-launchable state for a period of time after firing twelve missiles to allow the weapon device to cool down, the time is not long. Compared with the advantages, the disadvantages can be said to be better than nothing.
If you have time, you should borrow Luo Yu's fighter plane to fly around, and let Luo Yu take Liu Lingxin to fly this X-02S. It will also allow them to communicate their feelings. They will all sleep in the same bed in the future...
However, the random thoughts in his mind were just random thoughts, so Wang Yu still issued the attack order without delay.
"While the drone swarm is disrupted, continue the attack!"
Wang Yu's electromagnetic gun has been recharged. He pressed a button on the side of the operating lever and set the firing module of the electromagnetic gun to three bursts.
Then, staring at the drone's maneuvering pattern, he fired the electromagnetic gun into its densest airspace.
At the same time that the first electromagnetic gun was fired, Wang Yu immediately fine-tuned the operating lever to shift the direction of the fighter plane. When the second electromagnetic gun was fired immediately after the first one, the muzzle of the gun was already pointing in the same direction as the previous one.
The position of the launcher was slightly deviated, and the same was true for the third attack. In the end, the three electromagnetic cannons were not fired in one direction - overall, Wang Yu seemed to have fired the three shells by "sniping away".
Created a fan.
Although it is impossible to achieve the gunfighting technique of "giving a lateral force to the electromagnetic gun shell at the moment it is launched to rotate its trajectory in the air", Wang Yu still relied on this method to improve the coverage of a single electromagnetic gun attack.
area.
This is why he chose the place with the highest concentration of drones to launch.
As a result, with three electromagnetic cannons tearing up the sky, two unlucky drones were shot down. One of the drones was directly hit, and the other was passed by a high-speed projectile at close range, setting off
The shock wave directly shredded half of the drone's wing. This kind of flying wing structure would be no different if it lost its wings.
In addition to the two that were shot down, there was also a drone that was scratched by the fragments of one of the exploded drones and the fuselage was damaged. The tail nozzle made a harsh sound and then emitted black smoke.
Apparently the power system was severely damaged.
The drone began to follow the preset logic and launch all attacks on the target at all costs after being damaged. However, before it had time to complete its program, it was shot down by a missile.
"Sorry, I stole your head."
A member of the Gensokyo Squadron said to Wang Yu.
"Don't worry, speed up the killing of these drones."
Because Wang Yu and the others have achieved good results with their drone tactics, and with the help of special weapons, twenty drones
In addition to the eye-catching attack methods of Wang Yu and Luo Yu, the remaining three fighters also began to show their special abilities to attack the drones, but even so, there were only eight of the twenty drones left.
At this time, both sides had entered a state of complete close combat.
