Two weeks later, a base in the south.
A Rainbow-9 drone equipped with the latest electronic warfare pod is slowly taxiing, while on the runway adjacent to it, two J-20s are still getting ready for launch.
According to the plan, the two J-20s will take off 15 minutes after the Rainbow-9 takes off, and then use their speed advantage to catch up with the Rainbow-9. They will catch up with the Rainbow-9 at the end of the flight and provide them with one-hour escort. .
Yes, after nearly a month of preparation, China's first counterattack in the field of electronic warfare is finally about to begin.
In fact, during this month, the harassment of China by the island countries has not stopped.
Just as Chen Nian expected, they are like dog-skin plaster that cannot be shaken off. They will always take off at an unpredictable moment and complete the interference for 10 to 20 minutes at an extremely fast speed. Then, before the Chinese fighter jets arrive, Escape.
Such an action can be called extremely disgusting. If the coastal defense radar had not been updated with the latest FRFT algorithm, our own side might not even be able to do anything against them, but would be completely disrupted by this sudden harassment.
Of course, even with FRFT, such interference would have a huge impact on China.
For a whole month, the Eastern Military Region was unable to carry out any large-scale training or exercise missions. Instead, it needed to remain vigilant at all times to prevent a certain "harassment" from turning into a real "offensive."
Everyone knows that this possibility is very low, but who dares to risk ignoring it?
The chances of the word "grievance" being mentioned within the military have increased significantly. Fortunately, days like this should be completely over by today.
In the cockpit, J-20 pilot Bai Chongkai was conducting final inspections on the aircraft, and the voices of ground staff continued to come from his headphones.
"Check the unmanned wingman data link connection."
"Received, check the link. The link is normal."
"Check the Yujing 04 strategy loading status."
"Received. The strategy is loaded normally and adjusted to automatic flight mode."
"Tower received. Check the working status of the electronic pod."
"Working normally, data transmission is normal, communication is normal."
"Understood, drone wingman 01 is preparing to take off, keep the data link connected."
"Keep the data link connected and start automatic takeoff."
As Bai Chongkai finished speaking, the Rainbow-9 on the runway not far away immediately started to use afterburners.
Subsequently, with the support of the Yujing 04 system, the drone soared into the sky at an extremely elegant angle without any human control.
Immediately afterwards, the unmanned wingman slowly turned in the air and began to fly according to the updated flight target in the data link system.
After watching the Rainbow-9 go away, Bai Chongkai pressed the button and the J-20 cockpit cover closed.
"The program self-check is completed, everything is normal and ready to take off."
As they spoke, the two J-20s lined up on the runway, their engines running at idle speed, quietly waiting for the long-established take-off opportunity.
"Old Liu, are you ready?"
Bai Chongkai asked on the radio.
Another fighter, Jian Twenty Miles, Liu Chuanwu calmly gave a thumbs up and replied:
"Ready, ready to take off at any time."
"nervous?"
Bai Chongkai continued to ask.
He is an experienced pilot himself, and in terms of qualifications, he is even better than Liu Chuanwu.
But after all, he has not experienced the so-called "real conflict" like Liu Chuanwu, so when performing this task, he is indeed not as "experienced" as Liu Chuanwu.
Hearing his question, Liu Chuanwu smiled softly and replied:
"There's nothing to be nervous about."
"When I was driving a J-8, I dared to fight with them. Now I'm driving a J-20. It makes no sense to still be timid."
"Besides, they can't catch us this time - Rainbow-9 has set up a self-destruct program. If the situation is really dangerous, we can just give up."
"I don't believe that anyone can catch us on this sea."
As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Chongkai's nervousness that was still faintly beating just now was instantly swept away.
He suddenly realized his true situation:
Driving the world's most advanced fourth-generation aircraft, using the world's most advanced radars and weapons, and the world's most advanced electronic warfare drones for cover.
There are so many "world's most advanced" machines. If the mission cannot be completed, then simply retire.
——
No, it should be said that such a task is actually no different from a spring outing.
Success is inevitable, the only uncertainty is whether the optimal results can be achieved.
Thinking of this, Bai Chongkai's fingers gripping the joystick couldn't help but relax.
After waiting quietly for a few minutes, the tower's permission to take off came through his headset.
The engine turned on the afterburner, and blue flames spurted out. A moment later, the two J-20s disappeared from the sky.
The speed continued to increase. After 20 minutes of flight, Bai Chongkai and Liu Chuanwu caught up with Rainbow-9, which had set off early.
"Refresh the data link link and enter wingman synchronization mode."
Bai Chongkai reported his tactical actions, while Liu Chuanwu on the side maintained a forward distance, used active radar to detect the target airspace, and assumed the task of early warning.
It is not worried about its radar waves being intercepted. With the latest adaptive power control system and clutter-imitating function, even the most advanced ALR-94 passive radar warning device in the United States may not be able to identify its own radar signals. .
It can be said that even if the active radar is turned on, to a large extent, this J-20 is still a stealth killer in the air.
On the side of Bai Chongkai's fighter plane, the Rainbow-9 wingman has completed the data link update, Yujing 04 has entered synchronization mode, and the wingman command has been handed over to Bai Chongkai.
"40 nautical miles away from target airspace, ready to begin execution."
"Received, 40 nautical miles, countdown will start in 3 minutes."
"160 seconds, I turned off the active radar."
"Roger, active radar is turned off, afterburner is turned off, start circling."
Just three minutes passed quickly, and at this time, all three fighter planes had already arrived in the combat airspace.
It is about 260 nautical miles away from Kadena Air Base and is outside the detection range of the other side's coastal defense radar.
From here on, Rainbow-09 will activate the electronic jamming pod, begin to receive and analyze the opponent's shore defense radar pulse signals, and formulate a targeted jamming strategy after the onboard computer completes the analysis.
"The jamming pod is powered on and ready to interfere."
"Prepare to implement interference. After analyzing the pulse characteristics, start injecting interference signals and adjust the power to the maximum."
"Understood, implement interference, and start the mission."
On the other side, Kadena Air Base.
Leon sat comfortably on the recliner, drinking an ice-cold drink, closing his eyes slightly, not even looking at the planes that were undergoing routine takeoff and landing training.
The assistant on the side reported to him the latest situation report on the Pacific Rim, but he had no intention of listening.
The reason is simple, this is his last month here.
The transfer order has been issued. Starting next month, he will leave Kadena and return to his homeland to serve as the commander-in-chief of an air force base in Mississippi.
That's a big deal--that air force base has the most advanced F-22 fourth-generation aircraft in the United States, as well as the best pilots in the United States.
As long as you don't commit suicide and survive two to three years, you will definitely be able to climb up a few more steps.
For him, this is a happy ending.
Although this ending is somewhat ironic.
After all, he stayed in Kadena for five full years, constantly trying various methods to build himself a conspicuous "war exploits".
But every time, his actions ended in failure.
For a long time, he couldn't even tell whether his side was too weak or his opponent was too strong.
This almost made him fall into despair - especially after the opponent's H-20 took off, he truly realized that he could no longer confront the opponent head-on no matter what angle he looked at.
So, he was depressed for a long time.
But sometimes, fate is so unpredictable.
Just when he thought his life would stop here, just when he thought he would never have a chance to take revenge on his opponent, a local technology completely changed his situation.
ARES advanced electronic warfare system.
With this system, he successfully contained China's actions in the Pacific and bought time for his own strategy in Africa.
More importantly, he cleverly removed himself from the incident. Even if it was really exposed later, China would not be able to find a reason to confront itself.
Such a smart strategy won him a lot of praise in the Corner Tower and laid the foundation for his transfer this time.
The twists and turns are nothing more than this.
Thinking of this, Leon sighed with satisfaction.
Then, he interrupted the secretary's report with a wave of his hand and said:
"No need to tell me this boring information anymore, I already understand all the situations."
"There is only one thing you need to do, and that is to keep an eye on those islanders and let them complete our mission 100%. You are absolutely not allowed to play any tricks during the execution."
"When necessary, you can threaten them with stronger tactics."
"No hesitation or mercy, you have to do it."
"After I leave, you will become the chief officer of this base. You need to establish your own prestige."
After hearing his words, the assistant nodded solemnly and replied:
"I got you."
"Don't worry, even after you are transferred, I will still be your most loyal partner. If anything happens, I will definitely do it."
"woo woo woo woo---"
However, before the assistant could finish speaking, a rapid siren interrupted their conversation.
Leon jumped up with disbelief written all over his face.
"What's going on? Air raid siren? Are we under attack?"
Ignoring the assistant on the side, he immediately threw away the cup in his hand and walked quickly towards the command room.
The assistant quickly followed, and at this time, the latest news came from his earphones.
His expression suddenly became solemn, and after listening for a moment, he spoke:
"Major incident! Our radar signal has been blocked!"
"What!?"
Leon was shocked. He kicked open the door of the command room and said to the soldiers inside who were staring nervously at the screen:
"Now, immediately, report the situation to me!"
His voice trembled slightly, but in his heart, he kept praying:
Never cause problems, and never cause trouble when you are about to leave.
However, a word from the radar operator on duty immediately shattered his illusions.
"Two minutes ago, all our radars encountered strong electromagnetic interference. One minute ago, a large number of UFOs appeared on the radar screen."
"Preliminary judgment is that we may be under attack!"
Hearing this, Leon subconsciously looked at the radar screen.
At this moment, the formerly clean radar screen is full of noise. This is a typical feature of radar being subject to strong electromagnetic interference!
What's more serious is that among the noise, there are a few flickering light spots that are particularly special.
Judging from the data, it is very likely that it is a fighter plane flying at high speed!
Are the Chinese coming? !
Are you kidding me? How could they attack at this time? ——
No, they can do anything!
They have completely failed in Africa and are facing serious electronic warfare threats in the near future.
At this point in time, it is entirely possible for them to do something crazy!
Leon's heart skipped a beat, and before he had time to think about it, he immediately ordered the entire base to enter a state of emergency.
As his order was issued, in just a few minutes, most of the air superiority fighters in the base took off, and each radar was turned on from sleep. The entire base began to operate with astonishing efficiency. This country's combat effectiveness Revealed in this moment.
"No matter what plane comes, we must find them!"
Leon said categorically, and then he immediately contacted Guolou and reported the situation of the base to Guolou as quickly as possible.
The judgment over there was more radical than his, and they even directly issued an order to allow firing outside the airspace.
——
However, at this critical moment, Lyon finally maintained his final calm.
An idea came to his mind:
What if this is China's electronic warfare method?
What if they use exactly the same strategy as their own?
You must not fire at will, even if the AWACS radar scans the opponent!
You must first understand the other party's intentions - even if your own side moves slowly and falls into passivity, it is acceptable!
He didn't know that his last caution saved his life.
Just a few minutes later, the early warning aircraft discovered the opponent's traces, but when their own fighter planes came closer to observe, they discovered that the fighter plane locked by their own radar did not actually exist at all!
The abnormal signals on the radar are fake, they are indeed implementing electromagnetic interference!
Leon finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he made the right judgment.
Otherwise, in the current complex electromagnetic environment, your own pilots are likely to directly launch over-the-horizon strikes against unrecognized air units due to misjudgment!
If this thing comes true, it will be great fun.
Because if it is possible, then you are beating yourself up!
Leon thought for a moment, and then immediately ordered most of the active radars to be turned off, trying to avoid the risk of exposing radar pulse characteristics as quickly as possible.
However, the moment he issued the order, the command headquarters received an extremely bad message:
A plane crashed in the air 160 nautical miles away from the base.
Judging from the opponent's radar characteristics, it was an F-16.
Leon's eyes were splitting. He quickly asked all combat units to report the situation one by one. However, under the premise of strong electromagnetic interference, even the advanced remote command system that he was proud of almost completely failed.
It wasn't until half an hour later, when the radar interference completely disappeared, that he finally got the latest information.
The good news is that the plane that fell down was not our own.
The bad news is, it’s an island country’s plane!
The opponents' electronic interference operations were not limited to the Kadena base. They simultaneously launched electronic interference against the island country's bases.
No matter in terms of anti-interference ability or tactical organization, the island country is far behind its own side.
It is precisely because of this that their psychological defenses were directly shattered in just a few minutes.
The fighter plane that was scrambled into the air to respond to the enemy fell directly into the sea due to improper command and operation.
A few hours later, inside the embassy of the island country.
The ambassador looked at the man opposite with a half-smile and said:
"If you insist that this matter is related to us, then we hope that you can provide sufficient evidence."
"Do you have any evidence?"
"I think there shouldn't be one, right?"
