Boyd cycle, this is one of the main combat ideas of "Research on Air Combat Attack". It has the same theoretical significance as energy maneuver. It is Li Fu's "teaching supplement".
If you want to win, you can't fight in the traditional way, you have to change your thinking.
The first student continued to raise his hand and asked, "Well, what should we do? How to execute this Boyd cycle."
"The Boyd cycle is applicable to any type of combat, including ground combat and various battlefields. It is both a tactic and a strategic idea. In this idea, we do not adopt traditional lead aircraft decision-making, but Whoever discovers the enemy situation first will execute the Boyd cycle to avoid delaying the fighter plane."
Zhou Hai looked at everyone and said softly: "There is another situation where the other party also adopts Boyd's cycle theory. In this case, both of us can execute this cycle process at different speeds. We should do it as quickly as possible. Complete a cycle, and use external force to interfere, extend and interrupt the other party's cycle."
The most important function of Boyd's cycle is to shorten the reaction process, seize the fleeting fighter opportunity, and then launch an effective attack on the enemy.
This combat thought belongs to the mainstream combat thought adopted by the air forces of various contemporary countries and belongs to the strategic thinking of John Boyd, a great figure in the aviation industry.
It includes both tactics and strategy, and this cycle can be applied to any combat link.
"I don't understand..." Another student from the normal system said in a low voice, a little embarrassed.
"I'll tell you in detail later." Zhou Hai smiled politely at the student.
Li Guanfeng already understood this and was thinking: "How can we interfere, prolong or interrupt the opponent's cycle through external force?"
"If the Russian student team did not implement the Boyd cycle, would we be ahead?" Another student with top talent said.
"Adjustment is the most critical step in the entire cycle. If the enemy or we misjudge external threats and misunderstand the surrounding environment information and enemy situation, it will lead to incorrect direction adjustments and ultimately wrong decisions."
Zhou Hai looked around the crowd with his eyes and said sternly: "In a multi-aircraft formation, we have disadvantages in quantity and quality, so we can make a fuss about our combat information advantage."
"Making a fuss?" Li Guanfeng perked up: "How to do it, let's talk about it."
"Two sets of plans are based on different situations. First, the opponent does not know the Boyd cycle. In this way, we have a leading advantage. After discovering the enemy aircraft formation, we can make correct and effective adjustments and decide what attack methods and actions to take. .”
Zhou Hai said slowly: "Second, the other party understands Boyd's cycle and both sides are equal. We can use bait and feint tactics, sending one or two as bait, so that Maozi, who has the numerical advantage, can allocate part of his force to crash. Entering the encirclement, our hidden main aircraft fleet will immediately cooperate with the decoy to annihilate this force and reduce the gap in strength between the two sides."
"How should our main fleet hide?" the first normal system student asked.
Zhou Hai pointed upward: "Ancient tactics, sunshine."
"Sunshine?" Another student was a little confused.
This room is full of big guys. They are full of tactical terms and analog words. Their words are nice, but they are hard to understand.
"Tomorrow's weather forecast is sunny. We can use sunshine tactics to cover our main fleet. This is how the British attacked the Germans in the North African battlefield during World War II." Li Guanfeng explained slowly, feeling helpless.
"Why didn't the opponent go all out? All the planes in the formation directly pursued it?" Another student with top talent asked doubtfully.
Zhou Hai looked at the two students from the normal system and said slowly: "Because they are too proud and overconfident. The skills of our two brothers are not very good."
Hearing Zhou Hai's words, the two of them felt a little embarrassed.
Wang Fei, the leader candidate, looked serious: "The bait must have excellent flying skills, so that it can successfully lure the opponent and escape. Otherwise, the bait may be eaten."
"So, I think I will be responsible for this bait mission." A smile appeared on Zhou Hai's face: "My hatred value is relatively high."
As these words fell, everyone present immediately turned their attention to Zhou Hai.
"You? Brother, you are the best..." the first normal system student said quickly, but as he was talking, something suddenly occurred to him.
Li Guanfeng sighed softly: "Are you sure? Is there a problem?"
Indeed, among the entire team of students at the base, only Zhou Hai has a greater hatred value. Moreover, today he received a formal warning for having a bad influence during international competitions and violating military discipline.
"You think a warning can defeat me?"
Zhou Hai laughed and shook his head, his eyes filled with confidence: "Besides, I can still fly, can't I?"
My heart is as firm as iron and will never waver!
Although he felt aggrieved and sad today, after some thought, Zhou Hai still chose to move forward and strive for that share of glory.
What is a trivial warning?
It's not expulsion from the military.
Not to mention being dismissed on the spot.
Psychological breakdown?
It doesn't exist, he's not that fragile.
Just a small setback.
The August 1st badge inlaid on the military cap and the military uniform he wore did not allow him to act petty or lose his temper.
Of course, as to why he could still fly after receiving a warning, this touches on Zhou Hai's knowledge blind spot.
"The air combat situation is changing rapidly, and it is impossible for the enemy to do what we say. We must do our best and obey fate. Only if we work hard can we be qualified to say sorry." Zhou Hai smiled.
Li Guanfeng nodded: "Okay, you continue to talk about the Boyd cycle, and we will study it in depth."
"Let me talk about another tactic, taking a high altitude advantage, combined with Boyd's cycle..."
It was late at night and the cold was encroaching, but the room in dormitory No. 101 was in full swing.
…
The next day.
The weather forecast is not biased, but very accurate.
The sun is shining brightly, the weather is clearing, and layers of white clouds of different shapes are distributed over the base.
As the most critical place for the competition between the two countries’ student pilots, the free air battle officially begins.
The principal and General Mao Zi reappeared, standing on the rostrum. The base's top commander and political commissar, as well as flight instructors such as Li Fu, were also present.
Base, apron.
Twelve Russian participating students and eight base students were divided into two queues and stood on the apron.
The Russian participating students were full of expectations and their morale was high, while our own students still had the same solemn atmosphere as yesterday.
The base officers and Russian officers serving as referees stood on the apron area, next to a military computer and an antenna, responsible for receiving game information.
