While Wenxuan was leaving, he began to give some warnings to the two unknown fighters through the public channel.
The general content is "You have entered the air force's activity range, please turn away immediately."
After a moment of flight, Wang Yu switched the radar mode.
The first radar mode is rws (search while ranging) mode. This is a search mode that allows the radar to actively measure the target's speed, distance and approach rate after scanning the target. It has the highest active mode.
In order to improve the detection accuracy, the pilot can also actively adjust many parameters, such as radar detection pitch and so on.
When the target is scanned in rws mode, the pilot can switch from the search mode to the stt (single target tracking) mode in the tracking mode at any time to allow the radar to actively complete the locking and tracking of the scanned target.
Now, Wang Yu no longer uses rws mode by clicking a button above the display screen.
At present, he is in tws (searching and tracking) mode. Compared with rws, this mode is not as high in real-time, but it can achieve multi-target tracking. That is, when the radar wave scans a target, the system will automatically
Mark the location of this target, but will not actively measure the parameters of this target.
Let’s explain the difference between the two modes in an easy-to-understand way.
You are walking at night with a flashlight, and then you know that there are bad guys ahead who want to attack you.
So you use your flashlight to illuminate the road ahead.
As a result, your light shines on a guy at a certain moment. At the moment when the light shines on the other person, you concentrate on using this period of light exposure to judge the other person's status.
And during this time you won't focus on other places that the flashlight can't shine.
When you are sure that this guy is really the bad guy who wants to attack you, you can use your flashlight to shine on him and keep this guy under your flashlight light.
This is the process of converting rws to stt, and from searching to tracking.
So, another situation,
You are walking on the road, and your flashlight shines on a guy at a certain moment, but you want to know if there is anyone else around him, so you don't actively pay attention to this guy's status, but simply remember this guy secretly in your heart.
position, and then continue to shine the flashlight elsewhere. If you see the second guy during this process, just like the first guy, keep the second guy's position in mind.
When you shine the light on the first person again, the position of the first person in your heart will be "updated".
In this process, you will judge in your mind which of the two guys is closer to you, and then regard the one closer to you as a more threatening target, while the one far away from you will be considered a secondary target.
This is the tws mode.
Well, this metaphor is simpler and easier to understand than simple terminology.
Tws cannot achieve real-time marking of targets, but refreshes the target's position every once in a while.
However, this allows the fighter plane to discover and track multiple targets without switching to locking mode. In other words, the target fighter plane will only be reminded of the radar beam scanning prompt and will not sound the alarm of being locked by the radar.
As a back seater, although Liu Lingxin did not have the ability to control the air radar, she could switch to the radar detection interface to see the specific situation, so at this time she saw two marks on the radar screen after switching modes.
This means that the radar scanned two targets, and as the scanning action continued, the target position was updated intermittently.
"Sure enough, there are two targets, sir."
"Yes, and they probably haven't burned through our electronic interference yet." Wang Yu replied, "If we launch missiles now, they won't even be able to react and will be shot down."
The fact is that the two F-4Cs did not have the intelligence support of the early warning aircraft, and their own radars were not strong enough, so they only heard their own radar warning receivers sounding, but they did not know where the other party was.
But there was no way, Wenxuan was still repeating the warning words on the public frequency, and Wang Yu could not launch the missile immediately.
After all, although civilian F-4s are rare, they are not non-existent. The identity of the opponent must be confirmed before deciding whether to drive away or launch an attack.
However, Wang Yu guessed that the two fighters were not well-intentioned. After all, they were scanned by his own radar and still refused to turn around. Either they did not turn on the radar warning receiver, or they did not know the meaning of the radar warning at all, or they were just crazy.
No more fear.
Or the radar warning receiver on the opposite side is too old and cannot distinguish the radar model.
Otherwise, when an F-15e that they cannot detect at all is scanning them, they will not react at all.
Wang Yu adjusted the flight direction of the fighter jet and quickly left the opponent's radar scanning area.
Now the situation of both sides has changed. Even if the other side comes within the burn-through distance, because Wang Yu is not in the other side's radar scanning range, the other side cannot use the radar to scan Wang Yu again.
The opponent can use the direction of Wang Yu's fighter's radar waves to determine his position, but the radar warning receiver can only display the direction of the threat, not specific parameters such as height and speed. It is basically impossible for the opponent to determine where Wang Yu is.
The distance between the two parties quickly narrowed in this one-way transparent environment.
Soon, Wang Yu captured the figures of the two F-4Cs, but they had just entered the visual range. He could only vaguely see two small black dots trailing the trailing clouds, and could not identify each other.
identity.
"Their radar is still scanning us, and I can't contact them on the public frequency."
Just when Wang Yu reached the visual range, Wenxuan said in the team channel: "Captain, have you determined their identities?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Their route has not changed and they are still approaching the transport aircraft. I am approaching for further identification."
Wang Yu replied.
He controlled the fighter plane and continued to approach the two Phantoms from the side and below.
According to normal circumstances, at this time, the pilot should be allowed to approach to direct visual distance to complete the identification.
But Wang Yu did not play his cards according to the normal situation. When he was close to fifteen kilometers, Aileen reported.
"Two F-4Cs are equipped with AIM-7 Sparrow missiles. No information that can represent their identities was found on the fighters." She said in Wang Yu's heart, "Dear, these two fighters are air pirates."
Regardless of whether they are military or civilian, as long as they fly aircraft, they will spray identification marks on their fighter planes.
This is also an unwritten rule in the international aviation industry.
International aviation law requires aircraft to have information that can prove their identity in a conspicuous position, such as military emblems, such as the aircraft number of a private jet.
Only the air pirates don't strictly adhere to this rule.
In other words, the marked ones may be air pirates, while the unmarked ones must be air pirates.
The international community also has a well-established practice. If the air force pilots of various countries find that the target is an unmarked aircraft after observing the target, then there is no need or need to make other judgments and they can shoot it down directly.
Even if you are not an air pirate, you can't rely on others if you are shot down because you have no mark. Who makes you disobey the rules...
Even when Wang Yu first flew the MiG-21, the imperial logo was spray-painted on the tail fin.
In other words, when Irene said that the two target fighters had no identification, Wang Yu could directly go to fox3.
From here on, the nature of this temporary mission changes.
When it is determined that the target is an air pirate, you can fire directly.
In fact, even if the target is not an air pirate, Wang Yu already has the right to fire at this time.
The protected target was scanned and tracked by two fighter planes using radar, and within such a long time, the other side had no intention of giving up, nor took the initiative to report its identity. This has already posed a threat to the cargo carriers hired by the military. The two F-4s
Regardless of their identity, they will be identified as enemy aircraft, and the escort aircraft will automatically be authorized to engage in combat according to procedures.
He looked at the two F-4Cs getting closer and closer, and his hand was already pressed on the weapon release button.
Although it has reached visual distance, the radar is still in TWS mode. In the HUD in front of Wang Yu, the position of one of the F-4s is marked with a box, while the other F-4 is marked with a small
Cross marks, these two different marks represent the primary goals and secondary goals determined by the tws mode.
Wang Yu can switch back and forth between these two goals as long as he presses the switch button.
"Sir, we need to get closer." Liu Lingxin said from the back seat.
"It's not necessary. I have completed the identification and confirmed that the target is an air pirate."
"Oh...Eh?!" Liu Lingxin exclaimed, "So far?"
She still felt that her pilot partner's eyesight was too good.
"Um."
Wang Yu didn't say much, "There's no need to get closer, I'm going to shoot them down."
After he said this, he pressed the weapon release button, and an active radar bomb was fired.
"fox-3!"
The missile trailed a white trail and disappeared from sight.
The best thing about the tws mode is that the fighter aircraft does not need to actually lock on the enemy aircraft. After the missile is launched, it will be guided to the general direction of the enemy aircraft, and then rely on the missile's own guidance head to start up to complete the locking and tracking of the target.
As a result, the enemy aircraft has very little time to react.
The two target F-4C fighter jets had no idea they were approaching from below them.
There was a reminder of the estimated hit time in the lower right corner of the HUD, and Wang Yu watched the countdown gradually return to zero.
Then, in his sight, one of the F-4 Phantom fighter jets exploded into a ball of fire that was not very dazzling. In the next second, it began to fall downwards dragging black smoke, and the original white flight trail was suddenly replaced by black smoke.
.
"Confirmed destruction."
Aileen reported simultaneously to Wang Yuxin.
Wang Yu had shot down a Glory before, so he didn't have any additional thoughts about this shot down.
