The weather was good, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, all the clouds over the 113th Air Force Base dispersed, leaving a clean blue sky. It was a good weather for tossing and fighting.
In fact, a cloudless sky is not a good thing for pilots, especially when engaging in aerial combat. Clouds can provide cover, which is an excellent cover for both parties in the fight. However, it is not friendly to the audience on the ground.
, Wuyun’s genius is the best stage.
In any case, eighteen fighter planes of various types have made final preparations. Nine representative teams from three groups took off one after another for a two-on-two fight. Judging from the normal rhythm of aerial combat, the entire final did not take a lot of time to complete.
Time. In order to make the pace tighter, France, as the host, consciously made the entire link more compact, which was a moderate test for pilots from various countries.
When the former group returns, the latter group is about to take off, and the connection is particularly tight.
Of course, those participating in the finals are all top pilots from various countries. This compact take-off and landing method is not difficult at all.
At exactly two o'clock in the afternoon, all pilots boarded the plane. The host announced the start of the 2012 multinational air power military exchange friendly competition finals and issued the start order. Eighteen fighters filed out of the parking bay and quickly lined up on the taxiway.
Column - the most solemn ground ceremony of the Air Force, the Elephant Walk!
The only fourth-generation aircraft starts with the American F-22A, followed by the French Rafale C fighter, then the Russian Su-35, followed by the American F-15d, f/a-18e/f, and f-16 Bullock
52, Russia's su-27sm is connected, followed by other countries' fighter jets arranged according to their international status...
International politics is such a reality. The order you take for granted is actually a reflection of international status. Every detail is determined by diplomats after repeated deliberations, negotiations and quarrels. There is no small matter in diplomacy, and any detail that is not handled well is an accident. Not to mention this
This will be filmed as a historical record of the multinational air power competition.
Why are big countries trying so hard to develop high-tech weapons and equipment? Because they have to match the international status of big countries. In turn, high-tech weapons and equipment can enhance their status in the international community, and the two promote each other. Russia can’t even blame it, but it’s still the top
We are under pressure to maintain the size of our military and continue to invest in the development of new weapons, such as the Su-57. Even if it is nondescript, it is still suspected of being a fourth-generation aircraft, and it is also a reflection of the level of national defense science and industry.
After a simple and grand ceremony, the finals officially began. The first to play was the U.S. Army versus the British Army. The confrontation between them was more like an air show. The whole process was very entertaining. No matter how well the British Army played, they could not compete for the championship.
The chance - yes, the results have already come out, the championship will only be produced between China, Russia and the United States, and even the host France will not have a chance to compete for the championship.
This is not a sports competition, but a manifestation of a country’s international social status and military strength. Even if China, Russia and the United States give up their positions, other countries will not dare to occupy them. This is international real politics.
Therefore, since there is no chance, there is no need to fight desperately. It is enough to do well and be nice to give your master face and at the same time try your best to show off.
Of course, there are also those who are holding back their energy and want to kill each other. For example, when France played against England, they were inseparable. Several countries in Europe have been fighting over who has the final say. Germany is born with a congenital disability and it is difficult to regain its previous status, so
The only ones left are France and the United Kingdom. They have always wanted to take over Europe, and their competition has never stopped. They will try to trick each other to death when they get the opportunity. Of course, the fundamental reason is national interests.
Therefore, the confrontation between Britain and France was quite explosive, causing everyone to applaud and applaud. The Chinese team was even more excited and commented one after another.
More than enough.
"Well, just now Monet made a very beautiful move to take back the initiative. You see, the timing he chose was very precise." Li Zhan pointed at the Rafale and Typhoon fighter jets in the sky. The British pilot was flying the Typhoon.
fighter plane.
Zhang Xueyang said, "Yes, it can be said that Monet has maximized the advantages of the Rafale fighter, especially the instantaneous launch capability, which directly puts the Typhoon fighter at an absolute disadvantage. The result is no longer in doubt."
"Well, what everyone should think about is how to save the situation if they encounter such an opponent." Li Zhan said.
Others did not feel that what Li Zhan said was inappropriate at all. On the contrary, they believed that Li Zhan was absolutely qualified to speak from the perspective of a teacher. To put it bluntly, if everyone can learn one and a half of Li Zhan's moves,
Not to mention enjoying life, at least it can make everyone's level improve by leaps and bounds.
"If it were me...well, I would choose to cut into a smaller radius. Even if the situation cannot be restored, the rear hemisphere combat position will not be occupied." A pilot said.
Li Zhan smiled and said, "Yes, it is safer to cut into a smaller radius. If you want to achieve the best counterattack effect, counterattack maneuver is the most appropriate."
"Reverse j...yes, yes, yes." The pilot thought for a moment and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he admired Li Zhan even more.
Air maneuvers are actually about choosing which maneuvers when and making appropriate changes based on the actual situation. This is what a combat pilot has been researching and learning for the entirety of his career. Li Zhan has undoubtedly gone far in this regard.
walked to the front.
"Lao Li, Lao Zhu, why aren't you nervous at all?" Cao Fufei couldn't help but ask. Those of them who didn't need to play were nervous, but Li Zhan and Zhu Wei didn't care at all.
Li Zhan pretended, "Excellent pilots have strong psychological qualities. There is no doubt that I am one."
"..." Everyone couldn't help but laugh, it was indeed true.
"I haven't fought against the pilots from Little Japan yet. I'm very much looking forward to it." Zhu Wei was full of energy. "The brothers from Hainan Airlines should be in contact with them often."
Zhang Xueyang suddenly said, "Yes, let's observe them carefully later and study their tactical characteristics. We will inevitably have frequent interactions with them in the future."
Everyone agrees.
Monet "shot down" the British pilot without any suspense, and the result was directly displayed on the large display screen on the observation platform, including the scoring details. The rules were very simple, so no one had any objection to the result. In close-range combat,
Sometimes, being targeted and locked by your opponent for three seconds is enough to decide the outcome.
"It's our turn."
Li Zhan stood up and saluted his comrades together with Zhu Wei. The comrades stood up and returned the salute and watched them leave. The commuter bus took them to the parking bay, where they found a brand new Rafale C fighter jet and an old Su-27SM fighter jet.
Already waiting. Check the receiving aircraft, thank the ground staff, and board the plane.
On the other side, two pilots from Nippon Air Force also boarded the plane. Hikawa Okamoto flew an F-15J fighter, and Umekawa Uchiku flew an F-2 fighter. They were also a heavy aircraft and a medium aircraft.
Li Zhan looked at Zhu Wei and signed - proceed as planned.
Zhu Wei gave a thumbs up.
The ground crew made a signal and Zhu Wei slid out first, followed closely by Li Zhan. They formed a two-plane takeoff formation at the takeoff line. The tower issued an order and the two pushed the stick and taxied. In order to take care of Zhu Wei, Li Zhan stepped on two-thirds of the throttle.
Taxi, otherwise he would leave Zhu Wei behind. The normal takeoff made the pilots from various countries on the observation platform, who were wide-eyed to watch the show, slightly disappointed. Everyone knew that the match between China and Japan would definitely be exciting.
Hikawa Okamoto and Umekawa Uchiku also took off in a two-plane formation. The takeoff action was very fierce. It was obvious at first glance that afterburners were turned on. After leaving the ground, they pulled up the nose of the aircraft and climbed at a large angle. The attempt to demonstrate their skills was very obvious.
Judging from the take-off action alone, it seems that the air force is better here, but everyone present is a veteran, so it is too early to draw a conclusion on this - this is an air combat competition, not an air show flight performance.
Japan's desire to show off its strength is even stronger. They have never given up the illusion of returning to the ranks of great powers - speaking of which, they have never become a great power, so it can only be an illusion.
The two sides re-formed in the designated airspace. When the tower gave the order to start, they began to rush towards the other side. A change happened at this time - Li Zhan and Zhu Wei actually separated early. Hikawa Okamoto
Then he saw the Rafale C fighter jet start to dive. When he thought that the Rafale C fighter jet was accelerating to gain energy, he suddenly lost sight of the Rafale C fighter jet!
"Umekawa! Did you see it? Where is the Rafale?" Hikawa Okamoto asked urgently.
They are not idlers, and they know very well that an enemy plane that is not within their own field of vision is a very big hidden danger. Obviously, Li Zhan and Zhu Wei adopted a very common and classic tactic - the wingman covers the lead plane's attack. To put it bluntly, Zhu Wei
It just attracts attention, but! If you think that Zhu Wei is not a big threat, you are totally wrong!
Zhu Wei relied on the excellent maneuverability and huge fuselage of the Su-27sm to arrogantly break up the Kongzi formation. At this time, they needed to make a decision as soon as possible - whether to fight separately or concentrate their superior forces to shoot down Zhu Wei.
"I didn't see it! He must be at a very low altitude! Hikawa! Kill the flanker first!" Umekawa Naiko said loudly and made suggestions.
As the leader, Hikawa Okamoto made a decisive decision: "Kill the flanker first!"
They separated quickly. Both the F-15j and the F-2, which imitated the F-16, had good maneuverability. Hikawa Okamoto and Umekawa Uchiku were both masters carefully selected by Sora, and they worked together very well. However,
Their attack posture had not yet been formed, but they were surprised to find that the flanker was roaring and climbing up! The blue tail flame emitted by the al-31f engine in the afterburner state was clearly visible in broad daylight. Everyone on the observation platform suddenly heard
A continuous loud sound came from the sky. Zhu Wei reached supersonic speed.
The climb rate of the F-15j was not bad either. Under the cover of the F-2, it also used afterburner to climb, and consciously surrounded Zhu Wei. It must be admitted that their tactical awareness is relatively strong, after all, they were fooled by the US military.
Dogs for so many years, oh, dogs for so many years, ah, this is what I have written over and over again. After all, they have been dogs for the US military for so many years, and they have learned some tactics.
Just when everyone was thinking about what kind of response the flanker would make, Zhu Wei once again showed everyone the technical level of the Chinese Air Force pilots - he actually turned the nose of the plane and flew towards Hikawa Okamoto!
Hikawa Okamoto saw the huge fuselage of the Flanker fighter approaching like a mountain, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat. He leveled decisively and then quickly rolled to destroy the Flanker fighter's line of sight. Zhu Wei did not expect to be able to lock on the opponent so easily.
, and he saw that the F-2 had maneuvered to his left wing and would soon occupy his rear hemisphere position.
"The flanker is going to lose," said Michelle from the viewing stand.
Richard frowned, pursed his lips tightly and remained silent. The Rafale C fighter jet seemed to disappear out of thin air. This unconventional trick made him feel familiar and frightened.
"Michelle, where is the Rafale?" Richard suddenly asked.
Michelle held up the telescope to look, shook his head and said, "I can't see it. It disappeared after swooping down. Maybe it was ambush at low altitude."
"Do you think that Rafale looks familiar?" Richard asked in a deep voice.
Michelle's movements suddenly stopped, and he slowly put down the telescope, his expression a little dull, and then his brows jumped sharply, "South China Sea Mad Dog? Yes! It's very similar to the South China Sea Mad Dog's tactical style!"
"The pilot of the Rafale fighter is a major, right?" Richard was still doubtful. He just saw clearly that the person who boarded the Rafale C fighter was a very handsome major of the Chinese navy. The Nanhai Mad Dog is so
Maybe just the Major?
However, his intuition told him that the pilot of the Rafale C fighter must be a mad dog in the South China Sea!
"Faka! The gust of wind has appeared! Oh my god, it's climbing very fast!" Michelle suddenly shouted. Just when he thought his voice would scare others, he heard the observation deck boiling!
"Oh my God! How fast is the vertical climb rate of Rafale?"
"Where did he come from?"
Indian Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Sanjay and wingman Rajput looked at each other and saw the solemn look in each other's eyes - are Chinese pilots so powerful? Rajput consoled himself and said, "It's mainly the performance of the Rafale fighter.
Very good, we should have it soon, I don’t know if the purchase agreement has been reached."
Sanjay said confidently, "I think the level is only average, and Japan's is also average. But we still have to pay attention to it later. Don't worry, we are a golden combination."
"Well, I'm very confident." Rajput nodded.
Indians have a very strong ability to comfort themselves.
"The flanker counterattacked! Beautiful! This upside down golden hook is so beautiful!" someone else exclaimed.
Just when the F-2 was about to occupy the rear hemisphere attack position of the flanker fighter, Zhu Wei decisively gave up the entanglement with the F-15j, and made a "U" maneuver to cleanly cut into the right wing of the F-2. However,
If you look closely, it is not a standard "U" maneuver, but a maneuver that Zhu Wei made certain changes based on the battlefield situation. After the maneuver was completed, the nose of the aircraft was exactly aimed at the right wing of the F-2.
At this time, Umekawa Uchiku on F-2 was frightened. He suddenly found that his level was at least three or four floors away from the opponent, and he immediately rolled up a steep slope in a hurry. His choice directly made him Zhu Wei
The results of the battle.
"Stupid Japanese! He should have dived instead of climbed!"
"He has no height, so diving may not be effective."
"It's not a bad loss."
Zhu Wei completed the attack, and then a shocking scene happened - he actually returned!
Then an even more astonishing scene happened - the F-2 that was judged to be "shot down" did not return but re-formed with the F-15j!
"What do the Japanese want to do?"
"What a shame!"
Why did Umekawa Neku do this? Because Hikawa Okamoto was targeted by the Rafale C fighter that suddenly appeared, and the situation was very urgent. The outcome was at this moment! They could not accept the result of being shot down in one round, so
Umekawa Uchiku rushed to the rescue regardless of the situation!
Why did Zhu Wei return? He was the victorious party!
Because China is not willing to win with more, it follows the agreed plan - after shooting down one of our fighters, we will also have to return one fighter plane, and the remaining ones will fight one on one!
As a result, the Japanese air pilot actually made an even more shameful move!
Li Zhan had been flying at low altitude, using the ground as a cover to disappear from the enemy planes' field of view. The Rafale fighter jets had very good acceleration performance, so Li Zhan dared to sacrifice altitude. When he saw Zhu Wei leading two enemy planes towards
When he was at high altitude, he quickly seized the opportunity to attack, and the scene of vertical climbing that everyone saw appeared.
He appeared directly behind the F-15J. When Zhu Wei left, Hikkawa Okamoto immediately chased after Hikkawa Okamoto and bit his tail. After Li Zhan appeared behind Hikkawa Okamoto, he didn't know at all. It was Umekawa Uchiku who sneaked in to tell him
His Rikawa Okamoto hurriedly dived and turned at a steep slope, barely avoiding Li Zhan's lock. It was at this time that Zhu Wei killed Umekawa Neku.
Zhu Wei saw the Japanese violating the rules and quickly asked Li Zhan: "They violated the rules! What should we do?"
"Don't return yet, let me skim the formation, take pictures of the process, and watch me deal with them like this!" Li Zhan was very angry. He planned to let Zhu Wei succeed and then return for a fair and just plan. As a result, his good intentions were not cherished and the other party returned them.
Going even further and blatantly violating the rules.
He decided to teach Kongzi a lesson.
So everyone on the observation deck saw three fighters entangled together, while the Flanker fighter that had achieved a victory watched from a distance, circling in a large circle, without any intention of joining the battle group.
"Shame on the Japanese! The Chinese are angry!" Richard gave a thumbs up, sincerely looking down on the Japanese air pilots who blatantly violated the rules.
There is no shame in losing, but there is no shame in not following the rules.
Everyone on the observation platform criticized the Japanese Air Force pilots. The head of the Air Force team lost his composure and shamelessly said that the process was not important. This made the host very angry, but it was better not to get too serious.
As everyone knows, the Japanese air force knew that it had no chance to participate in the championship competition, so it simply used this opportunity to teach the Chinese pilot a lesson, but was slapped in the face with a crackling backhand by the Chinese pilot.
While everyone was condemning it, the disaster happened in an instant.
Somehow, the f-15j and the f-2 collided...
"Beautiful, beautiful, f-15j and F-2 collided. Beautiful, beautiful, please activate the rescue plan, they collided..." Li Zhan's voice asking for help came from the loudspeakers on both sides of the observation platform. Everyone
All petrified.
Monet broke into a cold sweat and was trembling all over. He discovered that he had "Li Zhan's beautiful" phobia. Li Zhan's calls for help at this time were very similar to those in the Mediterranean morning. Every time he called for help, it meant
There are hundreds of millions of dollars in losses.
"He, he's here, he's here again, he's here again!"
