"Good guy, three batches of six, what kind of nonsense is this?"
Dang Weimin took a breath and whispered.
Li Hai was also looking at the radar display screen, which was the terminal of the three-coordinate radar. The distance, direction and height of all targets could be seen at a glance. Our two fighter planes are quickly rushing towards the space where the unidentified aircraft is, and the six unidentified aircraft signals are rapidly approaching the Eternal Prosperity Island!
"Something's wrong." Li Hai frowned and said.
"What's wrong?" Dang Weimin asked.
Li Hai shook his head slightly, "I haven't figured it out yet, but something is wrong."
"Dong San! You can take off! After takeoff, adjust the heading to 90 and outflank it!" The commander calmly directed the second batch of fighter planes to take off urgently.
The duty aircraft took off first, and now the standing aircraft took off, which were also two J-8F fighter jets. As the latest modification of the J-8 deployed in the military, the J-8F has been accelerating its retirement in the past two years. The reason why they are deployed on Forever Prosperity Island is mainly because they can receive support from shore-based aircraft. They only need to withstand the first wave of offensive, and the support troops can arrive within ten minutes.
So when Li Hai and Dang Weimin saw the "beautiful man in the sky", they were not surprised at all.
Two J-8Fs with gray-white fuselage were accelerating on the runway with afterburner turned on. The rectangular fuselage had no aesthetics at all. However, when these classic fighters turned on afterburner, they would use their turbofans to completely crush them. The acceleration performance of the engine's fighter plane proves its worth!
To be fair, Li Hai does not like the J-8, whether it is an early model or the latest modification, and even thinks that they are not as good as the J-7, a small and flexible fighting fighter. However, perhaps out of the mentality of "when a person has better things, he will miss the old things", or perhaps because he recognized the advantages of this fighter in his heart, Li Hai slowly fell in love with the J-8.
Of course, he doesn't want to fly the J-8, but if he needs to fly it, he will not hesitate to get on the cockpit and pull the lever hard!
The two J-8Fs took off in formation and turned around, driving away with afterburner until they were introduced into the clouds. The rumbling sound waves continued to impact - there was no doubt that they were traveling at supersonic speed.
"This aircraft is really exciting." Dang Weimin marveled, "At least the J-15 cannot fly at supersonic speed after takeoff in such a short period of time."
Li Hai said, "That's the only advantage. Did you notice that both fighters are equipped with air-to-air missiles, not training bombs?"
Live ammunition and training ammunition are easy to distinguish. The former has a white projectile and the latter has a blue projectile.
"I noticed it. What does it mean? It's normal to carry live ammunition." Dang Weimin said.
Li Hai said helplessly, "I guess it's not some unexplained love."
"What do you mean?" Dang Weimin was completely confused.
Li Hai could not wait to open the head of the party for the people and put his own judgment into it. He said in a deep voice, "Three batches of six aircraft. Do you think there is such an unknown situation? It is obvious that the superiors made an emergency call for the troops stationed on the island. Those six planes were probably friendly planes returning from long-distance training, and along the way they acted as a blue force."
"Yeah...how could there be such an unknown situation on a scale of three batches of six planes..." The party suddenly realized and was embarrassed. It should have been thought of earlier.
The commander seemed to have heard Li Hai's analysis and turned around suddenly, "Are you the pilots going to Forgettable Reef?"
"Report to the chief! Yes!" Li Hai and Dang Weimin quickly stood at attention and replied.
"come over."
"yes!"
When they arrived, the commander with the rank of colonel stared at Li Hai and asked, "How did you analyze it? There was no sign in advance, and even I didn't know."
Li Hai was a little embarrassed, thought for a moment, and said, "Chief, you actually know."
The commander of the lieutenant colonel was stunned for a moment, then a smile slowly appeared on his dark face, "You are an interesting soldier. Do you know that the division is conducting long-distance voyage training?"
"I don't know." Li Hai replied, "But I heard that the Eighth Hai Division's long-distance training has been normalized. Considering the conditions of three batches of six aircraft, it is not difficult to analyze that it is a surprise attack-style spot check."
The lieutenant colonel commander stretched out his hand and said, "Meet Wang Xiaowei of the Eighth Hai Division Sea and Air Guards."
"Flying Shark Force Li Hai, hello, leader!"
"The Flying Shark Force is for the people, good leader!"
Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xiaowei waved his hand and said, "Don't call me the chief. Let's talk after the random inspection is over."
Li Hai and Dang Weimin shut their mouths and stood aside, silently paying attention to the tower's command. As a newly built dual-use military and civilian airport, the related facilities of Yongxingxing Airport are relatively advanced. At the same time, it is specially designed according to the requirements of homeland defense.
For example, the construction level of buildings is relatively high and can be used as fortifications when necessary.
Through various detection and sensing equipment, a battlefield situation awareness system capable of covering a sea and air range of two hundred nautical miles is formed, which has a large area of overlap with the radar system deployed on the mainland. In addition, a navigation station has been set up on the island in accordance with civil aviation requirements. Therefore, the Forever Prosperous Airport has excellent capabilities in air command, communications, detection, etc.
After careful observation, Li Hai found that the configuration of this tower was somewhat more advanced than that of the airport tower at the training base. He even saw the operation terminal of the phased array radar. When I subconsciously looked around for the radar station through the glass window, I couldn't find it.
Li Hai's attention was quickly attracted by the three-coordinate radar display in front of Wang Xiaowei. Sitting next to Wang Xiaowei is the main radar operator, who is actually a sergeant major of the Fourth Army. His operating techniques are quick and skillful, which shows that he is a technical noncommissioned officer with rich experience.
Three-coordinate radar is widely used on ships. It provides one more kind of target information than ordinary radar (two-coordinate), that is, it can provide target height information. It is also widely used in civil aviation, and its normal range can reach four to five hundred kilometers.
Li Hai discovered that the flying height of the incoming target was only fifty meters. In other words, six fighter planes that had returned from long-distance training were conducting a sea-skimming assault on Eternal Prosperity Island in a combat formation.
Due to the influence of the curvature of the earth, the three-coordinate radar can hardly detect ultra-low altitude targets 100 kilometers away. In other words, this three-coordinate radar is 80% composed of a phased array radar to form a relatively complete radar detection system. Automatically analyze target information data and obtain results.
"The airspeed is approaching the speed of sound. It should be a heavy fighter, a J-11 or a Su-30?" Li Hai said in a low voice.
Dang Weimin said, "It should be the J-11. The Eighth Hai Division doesn't have Su Sanling, right?"
Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xiaowei said without looking back, "It's the J-16, the best aircraft in our division."
Li Hai almost cried out, and subconsciously licked his lips, "What a plane."
Wang Xiaowei turned around and smiled, quite pleased with himself.
The Second Air Division, which is only 500 kilometers away from the Eighth Hai Division, has already installed a brigade of Su-35 heavy-duty fighters in April this year. At that time, the Eighth Hai Division, which still had a large number of J-8 series fighters, was about to be far away. Lagging behind the big brother, fortunately, they modified the J-16 immediately. Although the number was not large, at least they had main weapons that could compete with the Second Division.
Everyone has different opinions on the level of the J-16, which entered service a full year later than the J-20. Most people think that there must be surprises within the appearance that has not changed much. It is obvious that a large number of fourth-generation machine technologies will be used.
Li Hai suddenly thought of an important question and asked Wang Xiaowei expectantly and nervously, "Chief, what kind of aircraft is the flying team stationed at Forgettable Reef?"
Yes, what plane is flying soon? Dang Weimin also came to his senses and stared at Wang Xiaowei nervously, hoping to hear the answer he wanted.
Wang Xiaowei looked sideways at them, and a smile slowly appeared on his lips...
