Although the JAS-39F is a very advanced model in the Gripen family, it is not a fifth-generation aircraft after all and does not have stealth capabilities.
At most, stealth paint and a relatively simple aerodynamic shape can be used to reduce the reflection area of radar waves, thereby reducing the chance of being discovered by enemy radar.
When warships from the Ming Navy arrived, it was not that the "Griffin" could not be detected, but that the distance was much closer than that of ordinary fighters, such as one's own "Wang Jiu".
It was previously discovered that the distance of the "Grypen" is less than fifty kilometers. If the opponent adopts a sea-skimming flight mode, the target can be identified with the naked eye...
In order to survive, Costa also adopted this method to deal with the Ming army's maritime blockade, because he was not sure that the maximum ceiling of his fighter plane exceeded the maximum firing height of the opponent's missile.
The EMB-145SA early warning opportunity transmits the exact position of the enemy ship on the sea to the JAS-39F through the data link, and Costa then orders the pilot in the front seat what evasive method to use.
It's time to gamble on luck. Ten "Super Tucano", AMX attack aircraft, and "Grippen" each, five each EMB-145SA early warning aircraft, EMP-145MP coastal patrol aircraft, C-390 transport aircraft, and KC-390 tanker aircraft. .
Including the EC-725 medium-sized utility helicopters that were doing chores, a total of sixty combat aircraft formed a large fleet and flew towards the sea to the east of the land.
And to get away from the land as soon as possible, the performance of the Ming army's land-based radar is more advanced than that of the ship-based radar. If it is discovered, it is equivalent to being shot down, because the aircraft cannot be faster than the missile.
It is not uncommon for a missile to be shot down shortly after taking off. On the contrary, it often happens on the battlefield, especially after the performance of the Ming army's anti-aircraft missiles has been greatly improved.
The "Badger" long-range air defense system can easily cover places that are out of reach of tanks and artillery, with a combat radius of up to 100 kilometers.
Costa did not dare to choose to take off at night, for fear that the pilot could not see the situation ahead clearly and hit a tree on the earthen runway...
After the concrete airport was destroyed by Yellow-skinned Monkey's missiles, Costa could only make do with temporary dirt roads.
This will cause a lot of wear and tear on the engine of the "Griffin" fighter, but at this juncture, it doesn't matter to Costa.
Now all combat aircraft are disposable, and the purpose of their existence, together with all their pilots, is to protect themselves and escape West Africa.
The AWACS is the eye of the fleet and must take off first, and the Gripen must be ranked second.
Except for helicopters, it takes about half an hour for all fixed-wing aircraft to take off.
The main reason is that the wake ejected by the engine will raise dust all over the sky, making it difficult for pilots behind to see the road even if they turn on their lights.
At an airport with good basic conditions, the time would be shortened by more than half, but now there is no such prerequisite.
Although Costa was careful, he was still discovered by the Ming army who had already monitored the movements in the encirclement in all directions.
Zeng Ying asked the Air Force to send fighter planes to patrol the air around the encirclement 24 hours a day, even if it rains heavily, the order must be carried out.
Ground troops must eliminate the enemies in the encirclement as soon as possible to reduce the chance of their leaders escaping.
The navy must work hard to destroy all enemy ships, hunt for fish that have slipped through the net, and block the coastline.
As long as the air defense system finds a target that is not its own, it can immediately open fire and shoot it down without reporting it.
There are no friendly Inca fighter planes in the theater. Now they are all our own and equipped with identification devices.
Zeng Ying knew that the other party could escape through two methods: submarines and fighter planes, and he had no idea of its specific route.
The only thing that can be done is to close the net quickly, hoping that the other party will hit the tree...
Costa's fleet was not discovered during takeoff, but after takeoff, a dazzling flare was raised near the temporary airport!
It could be clearly seen within a radius of five kilometers. The Ming army, sensing that something was wrong, immediately responded and discovered the low-flying enemy aircraft group.
The Eighth Air Force, which is responsible for air defense missions south of Mexico, dispatched 76 "King Vultures", 85 "Kite", and 39 "Super Tucanos" to pursue and intercept.
In order to ensure the safety of Costa and large aircraft, the EMB-314 "Super Tucano" and AMX attack aircraft performed heroic escorts even though their performance had lagged behind.
200VS30!
In terms of the number of fighter aircraft, the Eighth Air Force has an absolute advantage.
However, the "Meteor" long-range air-to-air missiles and IRIS-T combat missiles mounted on the "Griffin" have shown great power.
Each "Griffin" carries four "Meteors" and two IRIS-Ts. If it were not taken into account not long after taking off, it could shoot down all intercepted Ming army fighters.
The "Sidewinder" short-range missiles equipped by the Ming army's fighter planes are not capable of being fired and left alone. The missiles can lock on to the target on their own, and their performance is far inferior to IRIS-T.
The two sides encountered each other at a distance of less than 50 kilometers. The Ming army's fighter planes were no match at all and could only barely avoid the incoming missiles while firing a large number of infrared decoy bombs.
But they have a powerful ally in the form of anti-aircraft missile forces.
As long as the fighters on both sides are not in a fight, the air defense forces will not be tied up.
Long-range anti-aircraft missiles soared into the sky and flew straight to the sky where a bunch of bright stars hung in the distance.
Daming's long-range air-to-air missiles are not capable of collision or close contact. They can only fly near the target and cause splash damage.
If the armor of the opponent's fighter plane is thick enough, it can still fly.
However, fighter planes are products of high attack and low defense. Once debris flies into the inlet, it may be directly scrapped.
This is why all Ming Dynasty jet fighters have twin engines. Even if one engine stalls or fails, the pilot can use the other engine to return.
The Ming Air Force's air defense system is also connected to its fighter planes through data links. It is not as advanced as the other's, but it is enough to transmit coordinates and identification data.
Anti-aircraft missiles can have two launch modes, one is to launch based on radar measurement, and the other is to fly to a designated coordinate position.
In the case of "blind attack", that is, when the target is discovered by a fighter plane but has not yet been discovered by ground radar, the missile can use the latter mode to launch an attack.
Although the hit rate will drop sharply, the parameters of the data link are calculated by computers and are constantly being revised, so pursuit along the way within the range can still be achieved.
Zeng Ying was waiting for news at the frontline headquarters. Regardless of whether this was a trick set up by the other party to mislead the troops, he had to use the plan to his advantage. What if it went wrong?
The fighters of the Eighth Air Force will give priority to attacking fast enemy fighters, while the air defense forces on the ground can take over the entire attack, adopting the tactic of sowing more and reaping less.
Although the battle lasted less than a quarter of an hour, both sides were still injured.
On the Jihadi Army side, except for four EMB-145SA early warning aircraft, two EMP-145MP coastal patrol aircraft, and seven Gripens, all other fighter planes were shot down.
The Ming Dynasty Air Force lost a whopping 192 fighter planes, and only eight fighters eventually returned with injuries, setting the worst record of air combat in fifty years.
The Eighth Air Force released all the fifty-five remaining jet fighters it could muster to fight, trying to implement a second interception, even if all were lost.
The Gripen's top speed can reach Mach 2, but Costa's car, which has three external auxiliary fuel tanks, obviously cannot reach this speed.
Even so, the second batch of Ming army fighter jets that took off could not catch up with the target, and could only deliver their prey to the naval aviation carrier-based aircraft unit.
If the opponent does not adopt a maneuvering route, the aircraft carrier-based aircraft can indeed wait and see at a given location, but this requires great luck.
The sea conditions on the day of the incident were not good and visibility was reduced, but it was not so bad that carrier-based aircraft could not take off and land. However, it was much more difficult for pilots to search for targets with the naked eye.
This kind of weather created convenient conditions for the penetration of the Costa fleet. For safety reasons, he also ordered the fighter formation to separate from other aircraft.
Using early warning aircraft and coastal patrol aircraft as bait, the fighter jets broke through the air defense circle of the Yellow-skinned Monkey Fleet as quickly as possible and flew to relatively safe airspace.
The EMB-145SA early warning aircraft and the EMP-145MP coastal patrol aircraft are unable to be invisible, and their flying speed is not fast, so they are easily detected by Ming military radar.
The target speed displayed by the radar can indirectly prove that they may not be the most important prey, and there does not seem to be a fighter in the fleet...
The carrier-based aircraft force was divided into two, with a few pilots responsible for intercepting these stupid birds that had exposed their positions, while the remaining large force continued to hover within the combat radius.
It doesn't matter even if you fly to the maximum range, come on.
Regarding the Brazilian gift package that he has never received, Zhu Cixiang would rather carry forward the spirit of the World Cup fans who don't eat or sleep, even if he loses everything, he wants to get it.
Because there are advanced early warning aircraft and fourth-generation aircraft in it, even though the "Griffin" is a single-engine light fighter, its overall combat performance is better than the two-engine "Wangji" (prototype F-4 Phantom II).
Satellites are monitoring every move of the British fleet on the west coast of Africa. The other side actually dispatched an aircraft carrier battle group to respond. Zhu Cixiang also planned to let his men take advantage of the fire!
The straight-line distance from Santa Ana to Monrovia is only about 4,500 kilometers. As long as the Gripen flies at full speed for two and a half hours, or nearly three hours at full speed, it will definitely reach its destination.
These three hours were undoubtedly very worrying for both participating parties. Zhu Cihong had already lost more than 500 combat aircraft before.
This is the first time in history that the troops suffered such serious casualties on their own territory, and all of them were equipped with modern weapons and equipment.
If the "Brazilian gift package" is allowed to go to West Africa to join the British, Zhu Cixiang will have to consider launching a nuclear strike against it...
The "Australian gift package" is gone!
The "Indonesia gift package" also ran away!
If the "Brazilian gift package" is allowed to escape again, it will be three consecutive blows, all of which will hit Zhu Cixiang in the heart!
Zhu Cixiang's requirements are not too high. After playing three games, you have to win one, right?
I put a lot of money into it, but in the end it was all in vain. Anyone who faces this result will be depressed!
I hope that by hunting down the target, the gift package will be received. If not, Zhu Cixiang still has no move and cannot complain to the Lord God!
Suppose that the opponent comes to build a plank road in secret, uses fighter planes as bait, and actually escapes to West Africa on a submarine.
A certain emperor and a group of bastards fighting in South America were working in vain. This is a replica of "The Battle of Sumatra"!
If the anti-submarine technology is not strong enough, it will not be able to catch even 209, and it will fall into the category of staring at nothing...
Of course, there are also tactics to remedy the situation. Once the shadow of 209 is found on the opposite coastline, a nuclear strike will be carried out immediately!
This is equivalent to using Wang Zha to fight single 3, which is a typical helpless method!
Once the "Brazilian Gift Pack" and the "British Gift Pack" are allowed to meet in West Africa, there will be "Challenger" and "Osorio" on the ground, "Typhoon" and "Griffin" in the sky, and the "Queen Elizabeth" class aircraft carrier Battle groups can further increase strength.
For the elimination of the rebels in West Africa, this is not as simple as helping Louis XIV, an old friend, with voluntary labor.
By then high output may not be possible, but high investment is certain!
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was busy in Brazil, and the empire had to allocate a large amount of pensions. In the end, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty got nothing...
Thinking of this, Zhu Cixiang felt that his blood pressure was a little high!
I didn't expect that I would fall into a trap in Brazil in my lifetime. Is it because my football level is too poor? ? ?
Do nothing!
Just wait for three hours!
This is more torturous than the college entrance examination!
The college entrance examination is a matter of one's own efforts, but this examination requires the efforts of my subordinates.
It’s hard to say what grade you will get in the end, and there are only two grades, either zero or full marks!
Once something takes root in your mind, the more you try not to think about it, the faster it takes hold.
So Zhu Cixiang finally sat on the chair and waited to see what his luck was...
If the Air Force fighter jets, ground air defense systems, and Navy aircraft carrier battle groups cannot stop us, it is really doomed!
Zhu Cixiang also said that he had no choice but to appoint him, and he honestly considered carrying out nuclear strikes in some places where the "Brazilian gift package" might appear.
As long as Louis XIV nods and agrees, he can directly use intercontinental missiles to greet guests!
In the past, there was only a "Czech gift package" on the system panel. For safety reasons, Zhu Cixiang specially summoned a bunch of blond female officers and soldiers!
In this way, even if they are not used for fighting, these Yangma can still get married. At least they can appease many singles in the king's division, which is a kind of resource integration.
Thinking about Poirot, he must have started to summon the blond beauty. After all, the emperor also knows his true heritage...
In theory, the Czech gift package is similar to the Argentinian gift package.
Except for the better performance of the T-72M5 "Scarab" main battle tank than the opponent's TAM, the advantages in other aspects are not very great.
Because the opponent has IA-63 "Pampa" attack/training aircraft, IA-58 propeller fighters, and MD-500 light helicopters, the ground advantage of the Czech gift package can be offset.
The most important thing is that, as a shame to the industry, the rebels in the La Plata area were wiped out by the Inca army without making much noise.
The rebels in the Santa Ana area were able to mobilize all the Ming Dynasty divisions stationed throughout South America, especially causing heavy losses to the air force.
Fortunately, the imperial court also established an aircraft production factory in South America. Although it did not have R&D capabilities, it had an assembly line and could just ship the parts there.
