"Three hundred kilometers -" the combat staff loudly reported the distance between the 17th Regiment and the enemy, and the atmosphere on the bridge suddenly became tense.
At the speed of a fighter plane, it only takes a short time to fly over 80 kilometers. If the speed of the enemy is included, the encounter time will be reduced by half!
The commander responded quickly: "Regiment 17, prepare to fight..."
Just as he was speaking halfway, the alien fighter jets suddenly opened fire, and several fighter jets belonging to the 17th Regiment were silently broken into two pieces, and then exploded into a short but bright ball of flames.
"Spread out, spread out quickly!"
"Maneuver, snake maneuver!"
"Counterattack, shoot out all the missiles!"
The communication immediately became chaotic. The remaining thirty-one fighter planes dispersed immediately. The originally neat formation instantly became a mess. They were flying in any way. Various trajectories were intertwined, and none of them could find any pattern.
.
The second wave of firepower from the alien fighter planes all failed, and not a single human fighter plane was hit.
After stabilizing the situation, the 17th Regiment immediately launched missiles, shooting out all the missiles that could lock on the enemy aircraft at a rate of two rounds per second, forming a missile cloud composed of more than 300 missiles.
The alien fighters immediately divided into two waves, one wave continued to block the 17th Regiment, and the other wave focused on dealing with the missiles.
Rays of light flashed past, and the fast-flying missiles were intercepted by the thin light. Some exploded on the spot, some lost their balance and flew randomly, and some continued to fly towards the alien aircraft group.
The originally well-organized missile group became chaotic. Many damaged missiles blocked the 17th Regiment. The 17th Regiment did not dare to take risks and quickly turned around to avoid hitting its own missiles.
"B*tch!" Gao Kai at the rear was furious, wishing he could rush up to kill the giant ship himself.
The enemy's firing range was not 220 kilometers at all, but at least 300 kilometers. They deliberately placed the missiles closer and then fired them, just to mislead the judgment of the Nanzhou fleet.
When did aliens become so cunning?
Lu Zuo said worriedly: "Commander, should we add another layer of insurance?"
Gao Kai's face was as dark as water, and he was hesitating whether to let the 15th and 16th regiments follow him, when he suddenly heard the combat staff's exclamation: "Charge forward, charge forward!"
Gao Kai immediately looked at the home screen and happened to see several fighter planes at the front firing missiles.
The medium and long-range missiles of the 17th Regiment have long been empty, and now they can only shoot short-range combat missiles!
Gao Kai knew the missile data very well. The Ray 3 missile equipped in the fleet has a range of only 160 kilometers - it's not that the missile can only hit 160 kilometers, but that the missile must be within 160 kilometers to lock on the target.
, that is to say, the straight-line distance between the two sides is less than 160 kilometers!
For the Air Force, long-range air-to-air missiles have a range of more than 100 kilometers, medium-range missiles have a range of 20 to 100 kilometers, and short-range missiles have a range of less than 20 kilometers. However, this standard is not suitable for air and space fighters.
So far, there is still no recognized range classification for air-to-air missiles equipped by air and space fighters. Beiyuezhou's standard is that the long-range is about 500 kilometers, the medium-range is about 300 kilometers, and the short-range all depends on the performance of the missile itself and where it can be.
The effective range is determined by locking on the enemy aircraft.
The speed and maneuverability of the Ray 3 type are much higher than the previous two types. After flying away from the fighter plane, it immediately maneuvers a lot. Some of them fly left and right in a serpentine trajectory, some spiral like a drill, and some turn around at a large angle like a drill.
Banana balls.
It doesn’t matter if the maneuvering trajectories are different. After flying for a while, the maneuvering method will be changed. The spiral turns into an arc and the snake shape turns into a straight flight. All kinds of dazzling maneuvers make the chaotic battlefield even more chaotic. The alien fighter plane spent a long time.
It didn't hit a few Ray 3s, but instead brought the drone a lot closer.
After so many years of fighting, human fighter planes and missiles have left a very deep impression on aliens on the battlefield, otherwise they would not imitate humans and create alien versions of fighter jets.
Well aware of the power of fighter jets, the aliens neither dared to let the drones of the 17th Regiment get closer, nor dared to let go of the missiles that were getting closer. They were immediately caught in a dilemma.
At the critical moment, the alien fighter plane split into two, and more than ten alien fighter planes stepped forward, rammed into the incoming missile, and used themselves as bait to detonate the missile.
The aliens are brave and decisive, but there are too many attacking missiles. An alien fighter plane will be completely destroyed by at most three missiles, and the remaining missiles will still rush towards the designated target.
The alien fleet immediately followed it, no longer caring about the approaching drones, and used all their firepower to intercept the missiles.
But how can a missile be so easy to intercept? This thing is not only fast, but also has a maneuvering overload of more than 50 G. There is no better way except large-scale interception and interference.
The alien fighter planes exerted their firepower to the limit, beams coming one after another, but only a few of the beams successfully intercepted the missiles.
Soon, the first missile that hit the alien fighter appeared. A ball of fire burst out in the void, shattering the shell of the alien fighter. Then the missiles hit the target one after another.
The situation reversed in an instant. The alien fighter planes that had been arrogant just now were forced to run wildly by the missiles from the 17th Regiment. In the blink of an eye, more than half of them were lost.
The 17th regiment, which had just been suppressed by the alien fighters, suddenly took the initiative and pounced on the remaining alien fighters like tigers descending from the mountain.
For humans, if the enemy has not been killed after three rounds of missiles from far, medium and near, the next close-range dog fight is an inevitable choice. However, today is the first time the alien fighter jets have appeared, and they don’t know this world at all.
There is also a kind of combat called dog fighting, which still involves firing dully.
The pilots of the 17th Regiment were all stunned. They had definitely not seen such high-quality targets for many years. It would be a shame not to kill them!
More than a dozen two-plane formations acted separately, and various dog fighting tactics took turns. In the blink of an eye, the remaining dozen alien fighters were either killed by missiles or had their tails bitten by drones.
Cannon, he literally used the cannon to blow the alien fighter plane into pieces.
Witnessing the close combat between the two sides, Gao Kai and others discovered that the alien fighter plane was much larger than the human fighter plane. It was not an exaggeration to call it a gunboat. However, large size did not mean strong combat effectiveness. The aliens relied too much on long-range firepower.
As for the drone rushing close, it still uses the tactics used in long-distance confrontation.
To use an inappropriate metaphor, both sides have reached the point where their bayonets are red, but the alien fighter jets still insist on lining up to kill them. If they don’t hit them, who will they hit?
The human air force was born in World War I and has a history of more than a hundred years. During this long period of more than a century, the tactics of the air force have developed very maturely.
However, the alien aviation force is still imitating others, and has only learned a little bit of the superficial knowledge, but has not grasped the real connotation at all. It is almost the same as sending someone to death.
Not to mention aliens, even if the air force of any human aviation power dared to do this, they would definitely not be able to escape the end of annihilation.
