A formation of fighter planes and cargo planes flew towards the border of the Principality of Yinmulan at high speed.
Frankly speaking, escort missions should be the most boring of all flight missions.
After all, during the flight, there are two main threats to the escorted aircraft - being hit by ground missiles, and being hit by air-to-air missiles. No matter which type, they must rely on radar locking, and when the escorted aircraft is hit by
During the process of radar scanning and locking, the escort aircraft's radar warning receiver will also sound a warning that the radar wave has been detected, so that the fighter aircraft can judge based on the intelligence whether the person scanning it is an enemy or a friendly force.
This also means that as long as the escort aircraft does not discover any special circumstances, the escorted aircraft will most likely be safe.
Therefore, as a member of the escort aircraft, when there is no situation, the only thing you can do is to let your fighter plane fly beside the escort aircraft and maintain the same speed and altitude. It can be said to be extremely boring. p>
The key is that if you escort the military's early warning aircraft or tanker aircraft, you can also chat with the other party's pilots, and escort this non-military cargo plane. According to regulations, the two parties cannot use the channel at will except for necessary flight communication.
Chat to avoid inadvertently revealing secrets.
It seems that the rules are quite strict, and it gives people the feeling that there is absolutely no need to do this.
But you must know that many seemingly unnecessary regulations were obtained through bloody lessons.
Wang Yu did not intend to question the regulations, he chose to chat with the two girls on his fighter plane.
In fact, a squadron can also chat with each other while performing non-important missions, but Wang Yu always feels that there is a cute girl sitting in the back seat of his fighter plane, and his childhood sweetheart is fused inside the fighter plane (no mistake), if he still goes
If you are chatting with Wenxuan, then there may be some problem with your sexual orientation.
Their topics did not involve anything related to confidential content. They just wandered here and there, from the company on the cargo plane next to them to the customs and customs of the country Yin Mulan, from the blue sky to the cold winter in the northwest of the mainland... Until a soft sound interrupted their chat.
This soft sound is not noisy, just a "beep", but in the pilot's ears, this is undoubtedly the loudest sound.
Wang Yu immediately stopped the ongoing topic and prepared to deal with this temporarily.
"There are radar waves scanning us, air threat, our seven o'clock direction." Irene immediately said in Wang Yu's heart.
As a machine girl, compared to other machine girls, she is obviously unqualified in radar warning.
This is also Eileen's regret.
It is said that machine girls are also inherited systematically. The newly activated machine girls from the spiritual core need to receive training from more experienced machine girls, just like human pilots need to be trained in order to master the ability to distinguish different radar wave types and strengths.
.
Currently, most of the abilities that Irene has mastered are only the instincts that a machine girl has innately.
Some special abilities that can only be used by machine girls have not been unlocked at all. If there is a concrete skill tree here, Wang Yu will find that many of Irene's skills are locked...
Wang Yu followed her words and looked at the radar warning display screen.
Then his brows wrinkled.
"Chifeng, look at the radar warning display. Did I see it wrong?"
Liu Lingxin replied at this time: "Ha, this is really strange, two 'ghosts'!"
Yes, the information on the radar warning display at this time informed the members on the fighter plane that there were two radar wave sources, and the fighter system judged that the radar was emitted by the an/apq-100 model radar, so based on the fact that it had been carried
This radar aircraft judged that these two sudden threats should be the famous F-4 "Phantom".
As for the specific model, it’s easy to guess, it should be the F-4C type.
That’s why Liu Lingxin said it was strange. Most of the Phantoms on the market are later upgraded models. The worst is an F-4e. Like this early F-4C, it has been dismantled and sealed.
Rarely seen.
But now is not the time to sigh about the model of the fighter plane. Before entering Yin Mulan's airspace, two Phantoms suddenly chased after them from behind. It was obvious that they were not malicious.
Although their poor radar performance has not been able to obtain a lock, as an escort aircraft, Wang Yu's task is to drive them away before they get closer.
"No. 1, have you noticed?" Wenxuan said to him at this time, "There are flies eyeing us. There is no air force from other countries here. It should be air pirates or some warlords who don't know the heights of the sky." "I noticed it. You continue moving forward with the cargo plane, adjust the route slightly, and I will drive them away." Wang Yu thought for a while and said, "An F-15e is enough to crush them. Just ensure the safety of the cargo plane."
."
"Copy that." Wenxuan didn't say much and immediately expressed his understanding.
Then he switched the frequency and informed the pilot of the cargo plane: "Cargo, there is some minor trouble. Follow me and turn 25 degrees to the right."
Subsequently, the fighter plane followed the cargo plane behind, and the two began to turn away from the original route at the same time.
Wang Yu, on the other hand, quickly turned his fighter plane and flew in the direction where the two F-4 Phantoms appeared.
"Turn on electronic interference." Wang Yu ordered Liu Lingxin, who executed it simultaneously.
Although the F-15e does not carry an electronic jamming pod, its own electronic jamming system is enough to suppress the two Phantom fighters. These two targets cannot obtain a lock on themselves unless they enter the burn-through distance.<
/p>
The so-called burn-through distance is the distance at which a radar can disable the opponent's electronic interference.
The forced burn-through distance in a complex electromagnetic environment is a very complicated calculation formula, involving nearly ten different parameters. If you are interested, you can search it yourself.
In short, all we need to know now is that the early radar of the F-4C wanted to burn through the electronic interference of the F-15e. Basically, the distance between the two parties was almost close to each other...
"Sir, what are you going to do?" Liu Lingxin was very interested.
"If they are ordinary aircraft passing by, drive them away. If they are identifiable enemies, shoot them down." Wang Yu had already thought of a way to deal with it, and he immediately replied to Liu Lingxin, "But don't worry,
It won’t be as intense as the last time I simulated a confrontation with Instructor Xu.”
"I'm not asking you, sir, to answer me this..." Liu Lingxin thought for a while and replied in her usual way, "But thank you, sir, for your words, which make me feel warm in my heart."
But she didn't even notice that while she was answering, her fingers were intertwined without her realizing it.
