Sun Tao looked at the burning wreckage of the helicopter that fell to the ground and waved his fist excitedly.
Just when Sun Tao was about to take a breath, out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a "Longbow Apache" armed helicopter loaded with ammunition taking off from the helicopter hangar under the castle!
"Damn, why are there still more!?" Sun Tao frowned.
"Isn't it marked on Wu Yun's map?" Chen Yingtian said: "There are tank garages and helicopter garages below this base. There must be tanks and helicopters stored in them, so this situation is also expected. Prepare for a dog fight.
!”
Dog fighting, derived from the English Dogfight, is officially translated as close combat or dogfighting. In an air battle with machine guns or cannons as the main weapons, two hostile fighter jets try to enter the other side's tail area to aim and shoot. This process
It is like two dogs playing and chasing each other and biting each other's tails, so it is literally translated as dog fighting. Dog fighting was the main form of fighter air combat in World War I and World War II before missiles appeared.
In modern air combat, with the emergence of various air-to-air missiles, air combat has also moved away from the past where machine guns or cannons were the main air combat weapons. However, even so, third-generation fighters that emphasize super maneuverability will still seize each other's tails in air combat.
area to facilitate the use of missiles for locking, so in modern air combat, "dog fights" still exist.
However, "dog fights" generally occur among fighter jets and rarely occur between armed helicopters and armed helicopters.
Armed helicopters are generally used as support and escort forces for ground forces. They basically conduct air-to-ground combat, and air combat rarely occurs. Therefore, under normal circumstances, armed helicopters are also equipped with unguided rockets and air-to-ground missiles. In this way
air-to-ground weapons, and rarely mount air-to-air weapons.
The "Longbow Apache" left by Sun Tao without explosives was equipped with two M-261 19-unit 2.75-inch Sea Basilisk-70 rocket launchers and a set of AMG-114A "
Hellfire surface-to-air missiles and a set of Sidewinder air-to-air missiles.
This "Longbow Apache" armed helicopter has canceled a set of AMG-114A "Hellfire" surface-to-air missiles and replaced it with a set of "Sidewinder" air-to-air missiles, adding this "Longbow Apache"
And this also became the capital for Sun Tao and Chen Yingtian to engage in dogfights with each other.
The "Longbow Apache" lifted off from the underground helicopter hangar must also be equipped with air-to-air weapons. On this point, the two sides are equal. The only difference is in the number of interference bombs. Sun Tao and
Chen Yingtian's "Longbow Apache" armed helicopter had previously released a set of jamming bombs to avoid ground-based anti-aircraft missiles. The number was one less than the opponent's, which meant that if they were killed by the opponent, they would lose one.
There is no chance of getting rid of them, so they must kill each other before the other party does, and they must not be bitten to death by the other party!
There are very few army aviation forces in the world that conduct dog fighting training on armed helicopters, but the Longyin Force is an alternative existence. In addition to allowing members to learn to fly various types of helicopters and learn how to operate the armed helicopter weapon system, it also allows members of the Longyin Force to learn
How to drive an armed helicopter for a "dog fight" and use an armed helicopter for air combat!
I originally thought that this useless skill would not be useful in actual combat, because I had never used it in actual combat since I learned to use armed helicopters for dog fighting.
But now, Sun Tao suddenly discovered that Zhao Guobang and Zhao Tianyu really had the foresight to let them learn armed helicopter "dog fighting" in advance!
"Can you do it?" Chen Yingtian asked Sun Tao.
"I know your helicopter piloting score is the first in the group, but is it useful to say it's too late now? We can't change seats, sit tight!"
Sun Tao greeted Chen Yingtian, pressed the joystick and flew towards the "Longbow Apache" armed helicopter in the air. The "Longbow Apache" on the opposite side wanted to change direction and cut into the helicopter driven by Sun Tao.
The tail area, and then use air-to-air missiles to lock it; but how could Sun Tao make the opponent get what he wanted.
Seeing the other party's actions, Sun Tao smiled slightly and said: "If you want to cut into my tail, should I say you are naive or naive?"
Sun Tao piloted the helicopter to hover about fifty meters away from the "Longbow Apache" on the opposite side, and then swung along with the opponent's swing, biting the opponent's nose and not giving the opponent a chance to cut into his tail area.
Setting up the "Longbow Apache" is like two dancers dancing a tango in the air!
"Fuck! Fuck!"
The "Dark Moon" member sitting in the cockpit of the "Longbow Apache" armed helicopter kept cursing. He tried to get rid of the "Longbow Apache" driven by Sun Tao, and then cut into the opponent's tail.
area, and then used air-to-air missiles to lock it; but Sun Tao was like a piece of chewing gum, clinging to himself, giving him no chance to cut into the tail area.
"Are you feeling aggrieved?" Sun Tao chuckled and said, "This is just the beginning, you will call me daddy later!"
At that time, when he was learning to use armed helicopters for "dog fights" in the Longyin Army, when Sun Tao was stuck to death by the armed helicopter driven by the instructor, he was also aggrieved and cursed in the cockpit. Sun Tao was really aggrieved at that time.
Several days; now I can finally use my Shelley "dog fighting" skills to let others experience this feeling of frustration.
The opponent tried to use the cannon under the nose to aim at the helicopter driven by Sun Tao, but Sun Tao did not give the opponent this chance at all. He controlled the helicopter in the blind spot of the opponent's cannon, making it impossible for the opponent's cannon to lock on to him.
In this way, he also lost the opportunity to attack, but Sun Tao was not in a hurry.
When learning this "dog fighting" technique, the instructor told everyone that this gum-style "dog fighting" is a process of competing for patience. Whoever loses his temper first will lose; obviously,
This time, the people on the "Dark Moon" side lost their temper.
Just as Sun Tao was looking for an opportunity to launch an attack, a warning sound suddenly sounded in the cabin, and his helicopter was locked.
The ground-based anti-aircraft missile system has been destroyed just now, so the warning sound now can only mean one problem. There is another armed helicopter, and the other party has locked itself with a missile!
