The Jizhou Squadron launched patrols about fifty nautical miles south of the cruising position of the early warning aircraft.
After patrolling for about ten minutes, they heard the announcement from the early warning aircraft.
"JiZhi Squadron, this is the Red Moon."
"It's extremely late here, please speak."
"There is new information about the previously reported aircraft group," the intelligence officer of the early warning aircraft said. "Four F-111s have just crossed the border between the two countries and started flying towards the interior of Yimlan, and the two Su-27s are flying inland.
They are accelerating towards us, and the target has changed from bogey to bandit. The Yimlan Air Force is determining their purpose, but for us, we do not want to be threatened by anything."
There are three levels of addressing non-friendly air targets.
Bogey refers to a suspected hostile target, which means that the other party appears on your radar, but you do not know what the target is, that is, if the target has not identified its specific identity, you will use bogey.
One step further than bogey is bandit, which is to identify hostile targets.
In this case, either our own side has completed identification and confirmed that the other party is the enemy; or the other party's fighter planes have shown hostile intentions, such as armed cross-border, fire control radar targeting, etc., but there is no further action in this bandit
Under the premise, our own side will still think that this is a threatening hostile target, not a real enemy.
When facing a bandit, friendly units must act according to the current RoE (rules of engagement). Most of the time, friendly units need to be close to further complete identification if possible, and always listen to further orders from their superiors.
And if the enemy has begun to attack, or one's side has officially determined that the other party is an enemy (such as the outbreak of a war between the two countries), then the title will immediately change from bandit to hostile, which means confirming the enemy or obtaining permission to attack.
Once the opponent is identified as a hostile, it means that nearby friendly forces will defeat the opponent at all costs.
For example, like the current situation of the Jizhou Squadron, if the early warning aircraft uses hostile instead of bandit, then the two pilots Wang Yu and Wenxuan will not say anything about unlocking the missile, and first hit the opponent beyond visual range... Therefore, call signs cannot be reported randomly, there are prerequisites.
Like in many movies, someone is just a plane that accidentally crosses the border or deviates from the route. As a result, a group of commanders or pilots call the target "hostile" on the channel; or many times they bomb your city and shoot down your fighter jets.
Oh, you still treat the other party as a bandit and ask for permission to fire...
Well...
Wang Yu immediately replied: "Received, so what do we need to do?"
"Drive away those two Su-27s, use fire control radar to lock on them, and keep them away from us, but remember, don't fire."
"Understood, radar locked, don't fire."
Wang Yu said, and then said to Wenxuan: "No. 2, do you understand?"
"Of course I understand that we are going to expel these two targets who crossed the border illegally." Wenxuan said slightly excitedly, "After flying for such a long time, there must be some changes. Maybe we have a chance to get a shot down and shoot down a Flanker."<
/p>
"No, they won't let us open fire." Wang Yu was very calm, "Things are not that simple."
"Let's wait and see." Wenxuan could only say this.
The two fighters adjusted their directions and began to actively face the two approaching Su-27 fighters.
The instructions given by the early warning aircraft "Red Moon" are very simple.
That is to let the Jizhou Squadron get close to the enemy aircraft, then establish a radar lock and force them to leave.
This is the most commonly used method of eviction.
According to the instructions of the early warning aircraft, the four F-111s should be left alone for the time being. The main target of the Jizhou Squadron is the two Su-27s that are still flying towards the interior of Yin Mulan's territory-according to Yin Mulan's territory, which is not very vast.
Look, if the two Su-27s are brought closer, their missiles can directly pose a threat to the early warning agency.
Therefore, after they began to approach, the two pilots of Jizhou Squadron voluntarily stopped chatting and entered radio silence.
They clearly know where the enemy aircraft is based on the data link synchronized from the early warning aircraft.
Therefore, the two fighters can adjust the direction and close the distance at any time according to the position of the enemy aircraft. In the BVR mode of the F-15e fighter, to lock the enemy, you need to use the radar cursor on the throttle lever to control the frame of the enemy aircraft's mark, and then indicate the target.
The lock is established by pointing the device upward - but since the locking effect at this distance is not very ideal and it is easy to lose the lock, the Jizhou Squadron decided to maintain the current scan and not take the initiative to lock for the time being.
Wait until the fire control radar is close enough to ignore clutter interference before locking on it.
Time passed by like this, and the early warning aircraft continued to report information about enemy aircraft to Wang Yu.
In the silent flight, the distance between the two sides quickly approached.
There is no doubt that Custer's fighter planes have seriously crossed the line.
Even in previous conflicts, there was no situation where one's own fighter planes directly entered the opponent's airspace.
As a result, the Yimlan people did not seem to have thought of this. When the Castors crossed the border, the Yimlan people's fighter planes on standby in the air made an emergency interception. However, compared to the two Su-27s, the four had been
The threat of fighter bombers flying towards their capital was greater, so the Yimlan people took the lead in deciding to intercept the F-111.
As for the two Su-27s, they were intercepted by scrambled fighter jets.
But considering the speed of these two Su-27 fighters, by the time the Yin Mulan fighter jets arrived, the day lilies were already cold.
The Empire's early warning aircraft cannot be threatened.
Therefore, it is currently necessary for the Jizhou Squadron to drive them away from this area.

During this process, the early warning aircraft "Red Moon" also tried to contact Custer's fighters on the public frequency and warned them not to continue moving forward, but did not receive any useful reply.
The Jizu Squadron came to expel them all, and the Star Alliance Empire's early warning aircraft also tried their best to expel them.
Where is Yin Mulan? What is Yin Mulan’s air force doing?!
#Check the status of Yin Mulan Air Force
"No. 2, establish lock, turn off navigation lights, and switch to line formation."
"Received, distancing and establishing lock."
Wang Yu used the moving cursor on the vertical attitude display to "lock" on the front of the two Su-27s, and at the same time informed Wenxuan of his goal.
He locked the first one, and Wenxuan locked the second one.
In this way, the opponent's two fighters can receive the "expulsion" warning at the same time.
Soon, the lock will be completed.
The radar display shows the enemy aircraft's course, distance and altitude.
A circle representing the missile launch area also appeared on the HUD, and began to slowly grow from small to large.
When the circle occupies more than half of the HUD screen, it means that the missile has entered the range, and when the circle is fully enlarged, it means that the enemy aircraft has entered the inescapable range.
At the same time, there is a "progress bar" on the right side, showing the dynamic attack range of the missile and the closing rate of both sides.
There is an extra box on the HUD, and the two yellow lock reminder lights in front are always on.
Wang Yu confirmed that the locking was completed.
"Hongyue, it's midnight here, we are close to the enemy aircraft within thirty nautical miles, and a lock has been established."
"Ji day, keep locked, but don't fire, continue to observe."
