"Glory? Those people actually have Glory fighter jets?!"
"Yes."
Speaking of air pirates, this thing is a unique product of this world.
As the saying goes, individuals are greedy, but if they take money without any means, they become thieves.
It's a bit like pirates in the previous world, except that pirates are active on the sea, while air pirates are in the air.
Flying a plane to rob may sound outrageous, but it does exist in this world.
They use a simple temporary airport as a base, use radar to detect incoming civilian aircraft, and then force the latter to land and demand ransom. The process is exactly the same as that of pirates. The only difference is that the "ocean" of air pirates is the sky. p>
In fact, Wang Yu was confused when he heard this statement for the first time.
The scene of two fighter planes painted with black pirate flags flying next to the passenger plane and forcing the passenger plane to follow their guidance suddenly appeared in his mind...
Well...
There is nothing we can do about the existence of such a thing.
This continent is the main continent on the planet, and its area is the sum of the other two continents.
The Star Alliance Empire occupies most of this continent, but the empire's territorial expansion period progressed too fast, and its tentacles failed to expand to all aspects.
To put it simply, the expansion speed of the empire does not match the development speed of national power.
Therefore, in addition to the core areas of the empire, there are many lawless places.
Anarchy zones, areas where warlords are rampant, and city-states that are almost independent of the empire.
Air pirates breed in these places.
As for the fighter planes they use, their origins are quite simple.
Many years ago, a world war broke out between the big countries on three continents.
At that time, the Star Alliance Empire was not the master of this continent. The original Star Alliance was just a long country distributed along the coastline of the continent. What originally controlled this continent was an alliance of nations called Teivos.
Exists.
As a result, the Tevos Alliance lost the war, and the flag fell to the ground and disintegrated.
The entire continent fell into chaos instantly.
A large number of war weapons were lost, and a large number of troops originally belonging to the alliance became chaotic.
This includes a large number of fighter planes and pilots who originally belonged to the alliance.
These weapons of war fell into the hands of the people.
Subsequently, a large number of warlords, mercenaries, and even somewhat retro...mountain kings were created.
Well, that’s right, it’s like a mountain eagle.
It took the Star Alliance more than ten years to control about 70% of the continent, but they suffered a defeat when they tried to bring order to the continent.
Therefore, the top leaders of the empire could only decide to consolidate the core territory of the empire near the coastal areas first, and control other places only in name.
So the result became what it is now.
It's just that most of the advanced war weapons of the former alliance have entered the hands of some forces. These air pirates who live by tying their heads to their belts can't get much good stuff, so most of the ones that can be used are the oldest ones.
Jet fighters, such as MiG-15, MiG-17, F-86 "Saber" and the like stored in warehouses.
There was a group of air pirates before, and they even flew a Me-262.
They flew this jet to intercept a civilian P-51 Mustang. Unexpectedly, the civilian Mustang was actually equipped with six 12.7 mm machine guns. Without noticing, the jet was knocked down by the propeller, which was shocking. In short, a better air pirate can spend a lot of money to buy a few F-4 Phantom fighter jets from arms dealers. This is considered to be very good, and even the surrounding warlords will rarely take the initiative to touch these guys.
.
Therefore, when Wang Yu heard from Irene that the air pirate group down here owned LCA "Glorious" fighter jets, he was immediately shocked.
This air pirate is really awesome.
Whether they can use LCA or they dare to use LCA, it’s so shocking.
LCA "Glory", Wang Yu looks down on this thing, but this thing is a third-generation machine after all.
Both the radar and avionics are more advanced than the MiG-21 that I made by myself.
Wang Yu decided to listen to Irene's wishes and avoid her edge.
My MiG-21 does not have any anti-aircraft means. The twin 23mm cannons are empty. There are no missiles of any kind on the pylons under the wings, only rockets. But can rockets be used against air?
Of course not.
This thing can be used as a paramecium and it's very cool, but it can't be used against air.
If you ask me to use these rockets to fight LCA in an air combat, it will definitely not work.
Wang Yu said that he would rather eat the console in front of him.
"Let's go home."
He finally made up his mind.
Erin quickly gave advice: "In order to avoid being re-locked by the enemy's radar, keep a low altitude, heading 050, and fly north."
"Received."
Wang Yu pressed the stick slightly, and the fighter plane drew a beautiful arc in the horizontal direction, turned and flew in a new direction.
There is still enough fuel to return to where we took off.
But in order to save fuel, after flying out of this airspace, just pull up the fuselage and fly at high altitude.
Wang Yu looked at the speedometer. The airspeed at this time was about 400 knots.
For the sake of safety, he stayed above the mountain altitude. The radars possessed by the air pirates at the airport seemed to have average low-altitude detection capabilities, and the radar warning system of the fighter jets has not sounded again.
The air pirates' airport is in a valley. If they place their radar near the airport, the scanning range will be very limited. But if they place their radar on a ridge, they won't be able to scan targets lower than their altitude. p>
"Looks like we managed to escape."
Watching the mountains outside the cockpit gradually decrease in undulations, Wang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
I am about to fly away from the mountain area.
Erin also relaxed a little.
She even slumped down on the console. Well... the three-headed Erin is like a figure, which looks quite funny.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Wang Yu pulled the lever and let the fighter plane start to climb.
At the same time, he freed up one hand and touched the head of the little Erin.
The altitude of the fighter plane began to increase, and the undulating mountains gradually moved away.
"In short, this test flight should be considered a successful conclusion." Wang Yu checked the fighter's instruments and complained, "The air theft incident was indeed an accident. Go back and report the location of this airport to the imperial military and let them take responsibility." "For the Imperial Air Force, combating air piracy is a good activity to accumulate experience." Eileen also nodded, "The Imperial Air Force should thank my dear for this."
Wang Yu smiled, said nothing more, and continued to concentrate on controlling the climb of the fighter plane.
However, the air pirate discovered by Wang Yu obviously did not intend to let him leave so smoothly.
Just as the MiG-21 was climbing, the radar warning light on the cockpit lit up again.
And the position where the light lights up does not represent ground radar, but air radar.
This means...
Wang Yu's expression suddenly changed.
"Dear, we are under radar again!"
Erin's tone was also urgent: "The air radar is located about 20 kilometers away from our six o'clock direction. The model is unknown, but it can be so close..."
Without Irene finishing her words, Wang Yu knew the identity of the visitor.
The aerial radar scan suddenly popped up, and the identity of the other party was already revealed.
The stolen LCA fighter jet that had just taken off from that airport was urgently pursued.
At this moment, the radar warning, which originally did not sound very frequently, suddenly began to sound rhythmically and continuously.
"They're done locking in."
Erin warned simultaneously.
Wang Yu naturally knew that his fighter plane was climbing and accelerating away from the ground.
Without the cover of the ground, it becomes easier for opponents who are following you to lock onto you.
After all, you can fly high and have less clutter...
At this moment, the radar warning siren suddenly accelerated further.
"The enemy missile is coming! The enemy radar is still locked on us, it is semi-active radar guidance!"
Sure enough, flying high and with less clutter makes it impossible to hide when the sparrows come!
Wang Yu responded immediately. He quickly pressed the stick sideways, and the MiG-21 suddenly turned over and flew with its belly facing the sky. At this time, he pulled the stick back with his hand, allowing the fighter to complete a standard climb-to-dive maneuver.
.
If the pilot suddenly presses the stick while accelerating and climbing, the pilot will enter a negative G process. By rolling and then diving, the negative G can be turned into a more tolerable high-G maneuver.
"How many more sets of chaff are there?"
He kept his emotions calm and asked Irene.
"Seven groups."
Irene brought him bad news. There was not much chaff left to interfere with radar bombs.
I can only rely on the maneuverability of the fighter plane itself.
What we need to do now is to try our best to get the enemy aircraft to unlock first.
Semi-active radar missiles are missiles whose radar guidance is still provided by the transmitter after being launched. This means that this missile cannot be launched and then ignored, but must continue to maintain a lock on the target.
For example, the AiM-7 Sparrow is such a missile.
If the lock is broken during this process, the missile will also lose guidance.
This is the meaning of dive, to quickly escape from the radar locking range of the enemy aircraft.
If the enemy does not react quickly enough, the missile will become unblocked.
Obviously, the skills of the air pirates will not improve even if they fly LCA fighters.
Therefore, under Wang Yu's sudden dive, the MiG-21 quickly left the "cone range" locked by the enemy's radar.
The MiG-21 dived and accelerated out of the locking area very quickly. The air pirate piloting the LCA fighter suddenly became anxious. He immediately subconsciously pressed the lever and lowered the nose of the aircraft, intending to let the radar lock on the target, but he ignored it.
One thing - the large delta wing layout of LCA provides lift during stable flight, making it difficult for the fighter jet to quickly lower its nose to complete negative G maneuvers.
So on his head-up display, the box representing the target flashed twice and then disappeared.
The missile that was originally commanded by the fighter plane also lost its target instantly.
The air pirate pilot hammered the edge of the cockpit with his hand in annoyance, and then hurriedly adjusted the pitch angle of the radar scan.
"The enemy missile is out of lock, but dear, don't let down your guard."
When Wang Yu heard Irene's report that he had escaped the missile, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Damn it, this poor guy is lucky!"
I dodged another missile, with no near miss, no near miss.
In fact, at his speed, even if the missile does not escape the lock, it will be difficult to achieve an effective hit.
The two sides are in a tail-chasing state, so the speed of the missile is not high compared to Wang Yu's fighter plane. If you want to hit the target, you need to run an extra long distance.
Missiles do not have unlimited power, especially air-to-air missiles. After being launched, these things will consume the fuel they carry and accelerate to the fastest speed in a short period of time. This is also called the power section of the missile, and in the power section
, the speed of the missile will increase, the tracking ability and energy will also increase simultaneously, and the missile will reach its optimal performance at the end of the power stage.
But once the power phase ends, the missiles lose any external power and can only rely on the energy they accumulated during the power phase - simply speaking, they use inertia to continue flying towards the target.
Therefore, once the missile's power phase ends, its speed will begin to slowly decrease. As the flight distance increases, the attack hit rate will also plummet.
As for the so-called no-escape zone of the missile, it means that after the missile is launched, it has good energy, guidance and tracking properties after it accelerates to a certain extent and before the end of the power phase, and is included in this process.
It is difficult for enemy aircraft within the missile attack range to avoid missile attacks through simple maneuvers.
Therefore, in the case of a tail pursuit attack, the relative speed between the missile and the target will not be very large, so compared to a head-on attack, the missile needs to fly a longer distance to get close to the target, and using this distance, the target can completely reduce
The energy of the missile, and then easily shake off the missile when it approaches.
The final speed of the missile may have been exhausted to the point where it is even much slower than a fighter plane.
Even if I have the intention to follow, I have no intention to adjust the direction and continue to follow.
Secondly, the height at which Wang Yu flew was a typical low-altitude area, where the air density is much higher than that at high altitudes.
A missile that originally has a range of tens of kilometers may only have a range of about ten kilometers when it is in low altitude due to the resistance caused by air density.
After all, even if a fighter plane flies at low altitude, it will consume a lot of extra fuel, and your missile will naturally have to pay a price.
Therefore, when hiding from missiles, enemy missiles are usually dragged to low altitudes to greatly reduce the energy of the missiles.
In short, Wang Yu successfully avoided the imminent missile crisis by using the rapid dive and the enemy plane's carelessness.
But the danger is not over yet, the LCA is still following closely behind.
The fighter plane leveled out from a dive.
The little height that he had managed to climb before was instantly consumed by Wang Yu's dive acceleration.
The MiG-21 did not climb, but stayed at an altitude of about a few hundred meters, pushing full afterburner, trying to increase the distance between it and the enemy.
You can't let the enemy get closer to you.
If the enemy continues to approach, there will be no room for error at your height.
His mind began to quickly think of strategies to deal with it.
