The sudden change made the tower nervous.
The air warning radar did not detect anything. Where did the fighter plane targeting Li Hai come from?
"Where did the target come from?" Xue Zhengrong asked in a deep voice.
The radar operator was sweating profusely, "Searching in progress!"
It's ridiculous. All the fighter planes in the sky were locked, and the air warning radar on the islands and reefs didn't find the target. However, Xue Zhengrong knew that Li Hai was in an awkward position. If the target emerged from low altitude, it would be really difficult for the island's air warning radar to detect it.
At present, Li Hai can only rely on himself!
Li Hai did not blindly evade, and did not even stay far away from the H-6N formation. His mission is to ensure the safety of the H-6N. The unknown target directly targets him instead of the H-6N. It is obvious that he intends to kill himself first and then turn his gun to attack the H-6N.
The situation was quickly reported to the J-10A formation, but at this time Wang Xiaowei and others were refueling. Wang Xiaowei made a prompt decision and rushed to rescue Li Hai with his wingmen. The other two J-10As continued to refuel as planned.
At this time, the distance between the J-10A formation and the H-6N formation had reached two hundred kilometers. In other words, for at least fifteen minutes, Li Hai could only deal with it alone.
Fifteen minutes is far too long for a modern dogfight.
Wang Xiaowei knew the key to speed, so he and his wingman decisively turned on the afterburner to fly at supersonic speeds.
Li Hai was very clear about his own situation, so he did not place his hopes on the J-10A formation.
After completing the evasive maneuver, the second thing Li Hai did was to throw away all the auxiliary fuel tanks to reduce the weight of the fighter and improve its flexibility.
When the airborne radar search frontally covered the direction of the target's attack, Li Hai was surprised to find that the target was not one fighter plane, but two!
"Damn it!" Li Hai couldn't help but curse, and then he found that the characteristics of the target radar reflected signal were very familiar.
"J-11?"
The radar signal reflection characteristics of this model flashed through Li Hai's mind, and they all matched.
"Tower! The target of the attack is J-11, two in a batch!" Li Hai took a moment to report to the tower.
Where did the J-11 come from?
His company’s surprise confrontation and random inspection?
Li Hai had no choice but to face the difficulties. Use your own strength to block two menacing J-11 fighter jets. Either the J-11A of the Air Force or the J-11B of the Eighth Hai Division. If it's the former, Li Hai still has some possibility of counterattack. If it's the latter, he has basically no hope.
After reporting the situation to the H-6N formation, Li Hai turned on the afterburner and rushed over to the two J-11s that continued to climb. He quickly switched to the fire control radar mode and locked one of the targets!
Neither side fired missiles.
It was obvious that no one would fire the first shot.
Mutual illumination lock-in is already a serious warning.
Lehi was not satisfied with this.
The fire control radar locked on it, and I couldn't swallow this breath no matter what. The most important thing is that if they don't give them some warning, the cruising formation will definitely still be harassed for the remaining more than a thousand kilometers of flight!
He performed several large overload maneuvers in succession. When he was fifteen kilometers away, he changed the range of the front hemisphere with a crisp extreme small radius, and at the same time moved his position towards the edge of the front hemisphere of the target.
At this time, the targets will definitely be separated, and the two fighters will adopt the opposite tactics of "flowering two". This will not only continue to keep Li Hai in the front hemisphere of his own side, but also create a pincer effect.
Of course, Li Hai had already considered this, and he was waiting for the target to act separately.
However, the results surprised him.
The target actually did not move separately, but continued to maintain the two-plane combat formation and turned to counterattack together.
Li Hai has a height advantage, and swooping down quickly increases the fighter's maneuverability. In other words, Li Hai turns his height advantage into a speed advantage. In air combat, speed is everything. Under such circumstances, the target should disband the formation and disperse, rather than sticking to the old routine.
However, until Li Hai completed the scramble for position, the target formation still showed no sign of moving separately.
“Either you’re a master or you’re a rookie.”
This was Li Hai's first feeling.
The biggest difference between the J-11A and the J-11B is the avionics system. The avionics system of the J-8F is no worse than that of the J-11A, but there is a big gap between it and the J-11B. The avionics technology level of the J-11A is equivalent to that of the 1980s, and there is a huge gap with the J-11B that uses domestic avionics technology improvements.
The students in the Flying Shark Growth Class are very familiar with the J-11 series of fighter jets. Their target is the J-15, which is derived from the Su-33, and there is a close blood relationship between them.
The J-11 in a two-plane combat formation can usually make opponents nervous. The performance of this fighter's airborne radar is so powerful that it not only has a long detection range, but can even direct and guide other silent aircraft to attack targets. And its powerful mounting capacity and range surpass all third-generation fighter jets.
After calming down, Li Hai suddenly discovered that the target appeared from the side and rear, indicating that they had grabbed a favorable position in the rear hemisphere. The best way was to climb to a higher altitude before engaging in fire control locking. But they locked it in advance, thus exposing their position.
Is he a rookie?
Li Hai did not dare to take it lightly. Since the target had assumed a posture of "unchanging and adapting to all changes," he continued to maneuver to a more favorable position.
After visualizing the target formation, I pressed the two rudders tightly with both feet, and the tail rudder deflected to the right to the maximum angle. After turning the stick to the left, the fuselage tilted 45 degrees to the left, and the flaps reached the maximum lift position.
J-8F No. 81103 flew a "U"-shaped maneuver that continued to lower its altitude. After just a few seconds, it maneuvered to the left rear side of the target formation and got rid of the opponent's fire control lock.
When the radar warning sound disappeared, Li Hai had an unreal feeling - is the J-11 so good?
In a situation where he has completely lost the initiative, it is difficult for Li Hai to escape the lock of the two J-11s, let alone seize the initiative. He believes that the pilots who fly the J-11 are usually very experienced, and their psychological construction is in this direction. As a result, after a series of counterattack maneuvers, they can easily get rid of the lock and seize the initiative.
Or should I say the pilot driving the J-11.
Which army is it from?
Either the Second Air Division or the Eighth Hai Division.
The former is the famous Nan Batian. They have more than 20 years of experience in using Sukhoi/Shen Hoi fighter jets, and they will never react so slowly.
Could it be the Haidong Youth League of the Eighth Hai Division?
This regiment is all equipped with J-11B fighter jets.
However, Li Hai has experienced the strength of the Haidong Youth League. In the last confrontation exercise, the strength displayed by Lin Xiaotong and his wingman was almost overwhelming. If they had not taken it lightly, Li Hai would have never been able to break through the defense and enter.
Li Hai, who occupied an excellent position at this time, was full of doubts, but he did not waste even a second. He entered from behind the target and locked one of them...
