J-8FR No. 81101 was like a dozen tons of steel falling from a high altitude, swooping down at a 45-degree angle. The radar cannot identify the J-8FR and J-8F because the appearance of the two models is almost identical.
What's more, the Blue Army doesn't care whether it's the J-8F or the J-8FR. To them, it's all the same - an old thing that should have been swept into history long ago.
Li Hai's sudden extreme maneuver attracted the attention of many people.
The No. 1 commander of the Red Army raised his eyebrows and whispered, "What does he want to do? Is there anyone who can reach such a height?"
The aviation staff officer on the side calmly analyzed, "It is a very common practice to convert potential energy into kinetic energy to increase flight speed through dive. But his approach went too far. There is no need to conduct such a large angle dive. ...No. 1, look, it’s at a 60-degree angle!"
J-8FR No. 81101 is almost vertical, and the airspeed displayed next to the red fighter pictogram representing the aircraft is rapidly changing - Mach 1.2, Mach 1.3, Mach 1.4...
"Oh my God! The speed is Mach 1.8! Nearly two thousand kilometers per hour! Look! His depression angle is rapidly decreasing! This, this, these are at least eight overloads!" The aviation staff was so shocked that his jaw almost dislocated.
Commander No. 1 quickly came to the young air-sea coordinator, grabbed the microphone and called Li Hai, "No. 1! Report the situation quickly! Repeat! Report the situation quickly!"
He suspected that J-8FR No. 81101 was out of control.
Li Hai, who was undergoing a huge overload, had his eyes wide open and gritted his teeth while paying close attention to changes in instrument data and changes in the external environment. At this time, the cockpit was full of "di-di-di-di-di-di" warning sounds.
He took a moment to reply: "I'm locked in and I'm getting out of it!"
Locked?
The No. 1 commander did not call again. At this time, the pilot must concentrate on responding.
Is Li Hai locked up like this?
In fact, when he suddenly pressed down and dived, the Blue Army's "Haidongqing 71" quickly made a judgment - he wanted to use the height advantage to quickly approach the missile attack range. The pilots of the Eighth Hai Division are not just for free, especially the pilots who fly the J-11B, who are not the best.
After making a judgment, countermeasures were immediately taken.
"Haidongqing 71" quickly switched its airborne radar from detection mode to fire control mode, and locked onto Li Hai in just a few seconds. The two planes were flying towards each other, and the speed was not slow. Li Hai was flying at supersonic speed for a long time at an altitude of 22,000 meters.
Therefore, when the "Haidongqing 71" locked onto Li Hai, the distance between the two planes had shortened to 50 kilometers. Because Li Hai was rapidly diving and descending, the hit rate for the J-11B, which was equipped with two PL-12 medium-range air-to-air missiles, was rapidly increasing.
Li Hai is very aware of the combat performance of the J-11B and the weapons and ammunition it is equipped with. Don’t forget, the J-15 is derived from the Su-33, and the Su-33 is based on the Su-27. The J-11B and the J-11B are -15 are both completely domestically made major improvements, and they have a lot in common.
Being bitten by the J-11B at this distance would be a disaster!
Of course, there would be no real missile coming, but if Li Hai did not evade, based on analysis of lock tracking and other data, the director would judge that he was shot down.
He was forced to increase the dive angle and then level the fighter, avoiding the missile by suddenly increasing the overload. This is not the end, but the beginning.
After resuming level flight, Li Hai once again turned on the afterburner to climb at a large angle. At this time, he was at an altitude of 12,000 meters, which was still higher than the flying altitude of the J-11B. By suddenly increasing the overload by climbing with afterburner, the enemy missile will inevitably increase the overload accordingly. And because of the distance, the overload added by the enemy missile must be greater than that on Li Hai's side.
The maximum overload that air-to-air missiles can withstand is often thirty or fifty, while the maximum overload that general fighter aircraft can withstand is within ten. This is the reason.
The J-11B pilot of "Haidongqing 71" asked strangely, "Start evasive maneuvers at this distance, novice?"
Undoubtedly, Li Hai's timing for making evasive maneuvers was too early.
The question is, is this really the case? Was Li Hai so frightened that he made a mistake while busy?
The pilot of the "Haidongqing 70" was relatively calm and said calmly, "The Forgotten Reef Flying Squadron is Xue Da's unit. The soldiers led by Xue Da are very capable. Pay attention to traps and don't take it lightly."
"clear."
In fact, there was no need for him to be wary of traps. Li Hai's next move immediately gave him further judgment - after climbing more than 3,000 meters, Li Hai dived again.
but!
This dive was even more terrifying!
He actually performed a barrel roll maneuver while descending into a dive!
The purpose of the barrel roll maneuver is to continuously destroy the central axis of the fighter plane, so as to achieve the purpose of constantly changing the fighter plane's course in a short period of time. To hit the target, modern air-to-air missiles must predict the target's course, just like shooting sports The target is the same, you must have an advance, and then catch up with the target by cutting the radius to attack.
This method is obviously difficult, so the seeker technology of air-to-air missiles is forced to continue to develop, which in turn promotes the increase in the maneuverability of fighter jets. The Soviet Union's idea is more crude. Since the "truncated" attack is so difficult and the hit rate is not ideal, then simply increase the range and speed of the missile and chase you. No matter how you run, I will bite your tail and chase you. As long as I'm faster than you and have a far enough range that you can't run away!
Based on this tactical thinking, there are many types of ultra-long-range, ultra-fast air-to-air missiles that we have seen planned by the Soviet Union. Unfortunately, they were not developed before they were developed, and the huge red empire collapsed.
With the world spinning, Li Hai could not only see the instrument data clearly, but he could even quickly calculate the desired results. When recruiting, one of the tasks was to sit on a rotating chair and calculate the math problems given on the screen within a specified time.
In other words, this is an essential skill for pilots.
Li Hai's basic skills are very good.
He is barrel-rolling and diving crazily, which means that the enemy missile must constantly change its course, and the seeker's work will be fully loaded in an instant. Some air-to-air missiles self-destruct while chasing targets, and confusion in the calculations of the seekers is one of the reasons.
Li Hai's crazy behavior surprised the J-11B pilot of the "Haidongqing 71", "Can he withstand such a large overload?"
Not just pilots, but fighter jets.
Can the J-8F withstand such a large overload? The answer is obviously yes. After experiencing flying in a typhoon, Li Hai is very confident in the strength of the J-8F. As long as he can hold it, the fighter plane will surely be able to hold it.
"I understand, he was trying to avoid while closing the distance!" The J-11B pilot of "Haidongqing 71" suddenly came to his senses.
He immediately smiled and said, "He is a formidable opponent. Could it be that Xue Da personally went into battle?"
Just because the lead aircraft doesn't turn on the radar doesn't mean that he can't see Li Hai. The information shared to the tactical HUD through the data link only has a delay of two or three seconds. Therefore, whatever the wingman sees, the lead aircraft can see the same thing two or three seconds later. Condition.
The captain said, "The tactical ideas are very clear, and the actions are bold and crisp. It should be Xue Da who came up personally."
They all agreed that they were facing Xue Zhengrong.
"careful!"
