The battle in the sky is still going on.
The silver-clad J-10A turned left, raised its nose and performed an oblique somersault, constantly making various maneuvers to avoid the L-15C Falcon locked behind it. It wanted to bite tightly and seize the attack position, but it kept Unable to effectively lock on target.
The J-10, which embodies the wisdom of Academician Yang Wei and the lifelong efforts of Commander Song, is not as fragile as imagined. In the field of fighter performance, it can easily rub the L-15C Falcon on the ground.
After a short period of disadvantage, Lao Feihuo Bird relied on his rich flight experience and the excellent maneuverability of the J-10a to gradually get rid of the disadvantageous situation and move forward bit by bit towards a balanced battlefield.
Above the base, streaks of white trailing clouds appeared in the scorching sky, complex and dazzling.
"As expected of an old fly, he can still make up for his mistakes."
Staying in the cockpit, Zhou Hai steadily controlled the high-speed flying L-15C Falcon, watching the J-10A which was gradually regaining its position and regaining its position. There was no nervousness or seriousness on his face, but instead he smiled. I give Lao Fei Firebird a good review in my heart.
Firebird's flying experience and skills are absolutely excellent. After falling into the trap he set, he can still play steadily and gradually regain the advantage according to the correct plan.
However, Zhou Hai was not worried at all, because he was sure to win this first battle.
Soldiers have no constant momentum, and water has no constant shape.
What are Zhou Hai’s advantages?
His overall quality completely overwhelms the Firebird, and his physical strength is not at the same level. This is a top advantage that no top pilot in the world has.
"Huh? Sharp turn and climb, Firebird, you made a mistake again."
Zhou Hai stared at the J-10a trying to turn and climb sharply in the 2 o'clock direction in front of him. His eyes were narrowed and his face was calm. He seized the opportunity without hesitation. He pushed up the throttle and accelerated the L-15C Falcon underneath him.
In an instant, the Falcon, bathed in the hot sunshine, raised its head high, climbed at the maximum angle of attack, and suddenly entered an extreme state of high angle of attack and high sideslip angle. The fuselage revolved around the vertical axis and the J-10a that was climbing sharply. When it reaches the apex of the angle, it quickly turns 180° to complete the entire Herbst maneuver in a very short time.
At the end of the maneuver, the two WS-17 Minshan turbofan engines were at maximum thrust. The silver-gray L-15C Falcon reversed its maneuver, revealing a face that looked like a sinister smile, pointing straight ahead at the J-10A that had just completed a sharp turn and climb.
Herbst Maneuver!
This is a top-level over-stall maneuver that is difficult for any canard aircraft without vector thrust technology to climb, and this is precisely the advantage of the L-15C Falcon itself.
In extreme flight conditions with high angle of attack and high sideslip angle, the canard cannot provide beneficial interference vortices, and may even form vicious vortices, interfering with its own normal aerodynamic layout.
This is an advantage!
Since ancient times, any battle has been based on one principle - use one's own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses.
"drop!"
In an instant, the radar warning receiver installed on the J-10a body acquired regular and unique radar illumination signals, and a sharp and rapid radar warning sound sounded in the drop-shaped glass cockpit.
"J turn, good boy, you are forcing me!"
Sweat beads as big as rice grains flowed down the stream and across his cheeks. The old Flying Firebird, which had exhausted a lot of energy, gasped violently. Knowing that the situation was not good, he suddenly pulled the lever and raised the nose of the aircraft.
He made another mistake, revealing a fleeting and fatal mistake to his opponent.
This time the Firebird could clearly feel that no matter what conventional maneuver it used, it could not escape the lock of the Herbst maneuvering L-15C Falcon passing behind it.
In other words, this lock can definitely last for more than three seconds.
The J-10a, which had just completed a sharp turn and climb, suddenly raised its nose and was in a high angle of attack state. The smooth fuselage covered with silver reflected the sunlight. The entire Raptor was like a cobra supporting its body high, flying at a fast speed. Energy decreases rapidly.
The most classic and aggressive Cobra maneuver!
"Buzz!"
Seeing this scene, Zhou Hai, who had already expected it, was not surprised at all. The L-15C Falcon under his control was trying to lock on the target. Due to the limitations of the flight envelope and body performance, it had to fly past the rapidly decreasing speed at high speed. J-10a.
The Firebird that made the mistake, controlled the J-10a to perform the Cobra maneuver, and checked and balanced the L-15c Falcon that performed the Herbst maneuver, all were under Zhou Hai's control.
Why?
Because this is the only way to get out of defeat.
"call……"
The J-10a, whose control speed dropped sharply, quickly changed into a Cobra maneuver. The even more tired old Firebird gasped for air, pressed down on the stick and rudder, and accelerated downwards at the fastest speed.
There is no choice to attack, because today's J-10a is like a living target.
The Cobra maneuver has no effect on the flight altitude, but it will drastically consume flight speed and energy. Now his speed has dropped to the minimum flight speed, and he needs to recover energy in the shortest time through dive acceleration.
Moreover, due to the rapid execution phase and poor grasp of movements and timing, he suffered a high overload of up to 2g at the moment of maneuver.
High overload will cause greater load and stress on the body.
"Firebird, I'm back again."
But at this moment, Zhou Hai's calm and distant voice sounded in the encrypted communication channel.
The L-15C Falcon, which had previously surpassed the Cobra J-10A, swooped down from a high place in a strange way, with a fierce momentum all over its body. Like a real falcon in nature, it launched an attack on the Raptor, which was at an absolute disadvantage.
"drop!"
The radar warning sound that had just disappeared for less than a few seconds sounded again, reaching Lao Feihuo Niao's ears together with Zhou Hai's words.
The sound is like a stormy wave,
More like thunder!
"How can it be?!"
Hearing the warning sound in his ears, Lao Feihuo Niao had a look of disbelief on his face, completely unable to believe this fact.
came back?
How could the L-15C Falcon be back?
At this moment, the J-10a, which was accelerating in a dive, had only increased its speed to 250 kilometers per hour. The slow flying speed not only prevented many conventional maneuvers, but also acted like a living target.
The rapid radar warning sound did not go away.
One second!
Two seconds!
Three seconds!
The fire control radar continues to illuminate for three seconds to complete target locking and defeat Lao Fei Firebird.
Yes, in Zhou Hai's mind, he only defeated the old Flying Firebird who made two fatal mistakes in a row, not the extremely maneuverable J-10a Raptor.
"In the first round of close combat training, student No. 1 wins!"
On the operation screen of the base tower, the final result of the battle was obtained immediately through the battlefield data link, and the bewildered chief officer on duty announced the content.
Confused!
Yes, even the tower officer on duty was confused!
This battle simply exceeded everyone's expectations.
In an instant, the crowded tower was in a commotion. Other tower personnel and several official base pilots all had expressions of disbelief on their faces, some of whom could not believe the result of the first round of battle.
L-15C Falcon, defeated J-10A?
