"boom!"
Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar sounded. An F-15C Eagle numbered 183 suddenly raised its nose and climbed at high speed. The two Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-220 turbofans at the tail of the fuselage The engine turned on the afterburner and exploded with a thrust of up to 21.6 tons. The tail nozzle trailed two orange-red dazzling high-temperature tail flames.
The two valuable industrial flowers continuously and steadily output high thrust, pushing the machine weighing approximately 31 tons to soar into the sky.
Under full load, the F-15C's thrust-to-weight ratio is still as high as 0.7. It has good maneuverability, and its flight attitude is calm and fast, like an eagle looking down at the world.
However, this eagle No. 183 is the prey, and the J-11BH with the silver gray paint No. 198 behind it is the hunter.
Climbing at a high angle of elevation, turning left and then diving down and pulling to the right. The average overload of the entire set of coherent maneuvers reached 5G. The No. 183 F-15C Eagle, which obtained a high amount of energy through the afterburner, tried to exchange energy for altitude and escape. No. 198 J-11BH, and occupied a favorable position.
However, all this is in vain.
"Damn it!"
Nighthawk, the pilot of No. 183 F-15C Eagle, gasped for air. His whole body was under high overload, breathing high-purity oxygen provided by the onboard oxygen supply system to replenish his body's needs. He looked back. Found that pesky Eastern Flanker still at six o'clock.
This guy is such a difficult and hateful bastard!
"Friend, where are you going?" On the public radio communication channel, the electronically synthesized voice of Gray-billed Gull, the No. 198 J-11BH naval pilot, came out. There was a hint of joking in the words, and his breathing was steady.
The Gray-billed Owls from the Hainan Aviation Force at the Shanghai Base have extremely experienced flying experience, are skilled and superb, and their unit is second only to the Sea and Air Eagle Regiment next door.
Like a skilled hunter, he easily saw through the intentions of F-15C No. 183, pulled out an elegant and beautiful half-arc circle to the right, rolled several times in succession to find an entry angle, and then returned to the opponent's stomach, firmly occupying it. Vantage point.
Compared with the No. 183 F-15C, which is fully loaded with ammunition and fuel, which greatly reduces its maneuverability, the J-11BH, which relies entirely on internal fuel and air superiority weapon mounting solutions, is not much more maneuverable.
The four F-15Cs that took off from Kaden Base adopted an anti-ship mounting scheme and were fully loaded with anti-ship missiles, auxiliary fuel tanks and fuel, and were at maximum load.
The anti-ship missiles at the main hardpoint under the opponent's wings and the heavy 1,000-kilogram auxiliary fuel tank in the belly are a completely catastrophic blow to the F-15C's own mobility.
The air superiority weapon mounting scheme of No. 198 J-11BH adopts the standard four-center and two-near configuration. The War Eagle, which comes from the flanker family, relies on the extremely high flight performance given by the central lifting body to compete with the opponent's maneuverability. occupy an absolute advantage.
The F-15C, which implements the anti-ship mounting plan, is completely inferior to the J-11BH with air superiority mounting, and suffers a great loss.
"drop!"
In the bubble-shaped glass cockpit of No. 183 F-15C, the alarm sound of the radar warning receiver sounded continuously. This is the exclusive frequency emitted by the rear J-11BH fire control radar.
"Shut up! Do you think you can beat me with this?" When the pilot Nighthawk heard the synthesized voice of the Hainan Airlines pilot Gray-billed Gull, his heart rose with anger. He lowered his voice and roared like a lion, and suddenly raised the plane. Head, aim at the blue sky and climb again, turn around and cut into the roller maneuver.
hateful.
This hateful bastard kept chattering crazily after gaining the upper hand. If not requested by his superiors, he really wanted to close the public radio communication channel right now and directly physically block the other party.
Are all Eastern pilots so annoying?
To be honest, if the airborne auxiliary fuel tanks and anti-ship missiles full of fuel can be discarded, so that the War Eagle underneath him can gain all the mobility, the pilot Nighthawk will definitely make this arrogant and arrogant Eastern pilot understand the F-15'Eagle' of strength.
Eastern flanker?
That's just a copycat version. If the opponent were Su-35 and Russian-made Su-35S, he would still give in, but the opponent was just a copycat version of the J-11BH.
The pilot Nighthawk is not afraid of this thing, and the proud and powerful F-15 is not afraid of the challenge from the Flanker family.
"Not yet, but soon." The Gray-billed Oull, the pilot of J-11BH No. 198, noticed the other party's intention. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He raised the lever and pointed at the boundless blue sky. At the same time, he climbed and then recovered to gain advantage. The position enters the roller maneuver, entangling and biting each other.
The airborne diffraction head-up display will occasionally put the opponent into the crosshairs, and then the airborne fire control radar will illuminate and lock the target. Although the entire locking process will not take more than one second, it will cause great psychological pressure to the opponent's pilot.
The old rule is, whoever locks the opponent for three seconds wins.
Urgent sirens kept ringing in the large bubble-type glass cockpit. Pilot Nighthawk's forehead was covered with sweat. He held the joystick tightly with his right hand and controlled the No. 183 F-15C to change out of the roller maneuver, and then flew upwards out of the Immelman maneuver.
No. 198 J-11BH bit hard, like a fierce tiger, showing its ferocious face, not giving Nighthawk a chance to breathe at all.
"Beep!" At this moment, the aviation engine digital control system issued a warning that the afterburner mode had been maintained for too long, and the engine temperature was too high and could not be maintained.
"Fuck!" Nighthawk saw this and immediately cursed. He gritted his teeth at the Eastern flanker behind him, but kept his mind calm and had to turn off the afterburner state and return the two aero engines to the intermediate thrust mode.
Turn off afterburner mode, which is bad news.
The reason why the No. 183 F-15C is able to obtain a thrust-to-weight ratio of 0.7 is entirely due to the maximum thrust output by the engine afterburner mode. After the afterburner mode is turned off, only the middle thrust of the two Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-220 turbofan engines is left. 13.3 tons.
In an instant, the dynamic thrust-to-weight ratio of the entire fighter jet dropped to 0.42!
The decline in the thrust-to-weight ratio of the entire machine means that the maneuverability is further reduced.
In an instant, as the two engines returned to the intermediate thrust mode, the pilot Nighthawk immediately felt that his maneuverability had dropped significantly. The fighter seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, making it difficult to move. His face was extremely ugly.
Taking a deep breath, Nighthawk stopped paying attention to the chattering Dongfang pilot in the public channel, switched to the dynamic encrypted communication channel, and controlled the fighter plane to make a series of flight maneuvers: "Call the base, this is Nighthawk, our fleet is being destroyed by four J-11BHs Intercepted, unable to reach the target airspace to support friendly forces, requesting instructions."
Although he was very angry, very annoyed, very angry, he remained calm and his brain was not overwhelmed by negative emotions.
Now, the opponent has made it clear that it will not allow its own aircraft group to go to the predetermined airspace to support friendly forces. The J-11BHs mounted by these four air superiority aircraft are as disgusting and difficult to deal with as the pizza cheese made by the next door neighbor Aunt Maria, which cannot be shaken off.
As the team commander, Nighthawk really couldn't do anything about it.
I say fight, but I can’t.
If you say no to fighting, the other party can't help but let go and can only choose to waste it.
"The base has received it. The follow-up support fleet is about to take off and will arrive in your airspace in about 20 minutes. Please hold on, Nighthawk." A steady and powerful voice came from the dynamically encrypted communication channel. This was Kashou. The base's top commander, John.
"Nighthawk received it, can we conduct warning shots?" Hearing the base's top commander's arrangements, Nighthawk breathed a sigh of relief. It would be easier once the support fleet arrived, and then asked.
John, the top commander of Kaite Base, responded: "Warning shots are prohibited to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and escalation of the situation. Maintain a blue level alert. In the event of an attack, you are allowed to implement the highest self-defense authority."
"Nighthawk received it."
Hearing his commander's answer again, Nighthawk seemed extremely aggrieved. He took a deep breath, glanced back at the arrogant Oriental Flanker, and then looked at the two J-10A'Raptors flying smoothly in the distance. ’, resisting the urge to open fire and attack.
Tolerate!
I will endure!
The No. 183 F-15C, whose maneuverability dropped again, flew slowly and heavily. It no longer looked as calm and vigorous as before, and had to make a series of maneuvers to continuously evade.
The prey flees, the hunter pursues.
The dragon-tiger battle between the Flanker and the Eagle has never ceased from the day the two planes were born to the present.
In this airspace with a radius of nearly 30 kilometers, the eight high-performance Warhawks that broke out in a non-lethal small air battle were just a microcosm of today's drama.
On the east side of the South China Sea, four J-16s and four J-10Cs belonging to the Sea and Air Eagle Regiment were flying at a high speed of Mach 0.8, facing the F-15EX fleet coming from the direction of Guam.
The KJ-2000 strategic early warning aircraft equipped at the Jinling base in the rear was ready and slid onto the runway to take off.
