The moment the large overload occurred, Zhan Yuntian suddenly black-eyed.
No. 037 J-7EGGHS dived at supersonic speed at a pitch angle of 45 degrees, and suddenly pulled up about 300 meters away from the No. 1 Seahawk anti-submarine helicopter. The pitch angle instantly changed from -45 degrees to +90 degrees...
The speed of No. 037 J-7EGGHS in supersonic state instantly dropped to 300 kilometers per hour!
The instantaneous overload exceeded 12 G.
The reason why Zhan Yuntian didn't pass out was because of his strong anti-overload ability!
At the moment when the kinetic energy rapidly decreased and the supersonic speed quickly disappeared, the powerful infrasound waves generated were transmitted through the water to the sonar of the Great Wall. The experienced sonar operator grinned and was stimulated by the sudden powerful sound. He subconsciously reported: "There is a big movement on the water surface! It looks like an explosion!"
"explode?"
In the command cabin, captain Zhao Yunlong frowned, feeling that things were very simple. Unless two Burkes collide during a tactical maneuver, it is almost impossible to make a sound similar to an explosion.
The sonar on the boat gathered together to form two Burke-class maneuver routes based on the detected signals. Zhao Yunlong knew very well that this was an encirclement and suppression formation aimed at him. This formation is indeed difficult to crack, especially for a submarine that has been exposed.
However, maintaining this formation requires high ship maneuvering skills, otherwise collisions will easily occur. The smaller the encirclement, the more difficult it is. In the first simulation, the Blue Army's ship maneuvering level was pretty good, but the "Erma" Burke class had a history of collision accidents, so its ship maneuvering level was worrying.
Judging from the positions of the two ships monitored by sonar, the distance between them is very small. When they alternate positions, the minimum distance is about 10 chains, or about 1.8 kilometers.
This is a dangerous distance.
But Zhao Yunlong knew very well what the other commander was thinking - the smaller the encirclement, the smaller the Great Wall's room for maneuver.
It must be admitted that the first simulation blue team has rich anti-submarine experience.
If the positions were reversed, Zhao Yunlong would do the same, provided that he had a group of experienced crew members under his command.
"Keep monitoring to see if they hit it on their own." Zhao Yunlong immediately gave the order to the sonar room.
They did not know that their own fighter planes had arrived and launched an offensive. The powerful sound waves were caused by the extremely large overload maneuvers of their own fighters that approached the limit.
A flash of darkness flashed before Li Hai's eyes, which lasted for about 0.3 seconds, and then returned to normal. He quickly turned on the afterburner that was turned off two seconds ago!
The unknown type of turbofan engine that had just stopped for less than three seconds roared out with hot tail flames and powerful airflow.
First, the powerful airflow rushed from top to bottom towards the No. 1 Seahawk anti-submarine helicopter, and then the powerful airflow generated after turning on the afterburner was supplemented and rushed towards the No. 1 Seahawk anti-submarine helicopter again.
The No. 1 Seahawk anti-submarine helicopter was like being struck by the palm of a Tathagata falling from the sky. It was forced by the strong airflow and fell vertically nearly a hundred meters, leaving only less than fifty meters above the sea!
He fell vertically a hundred meters in less than two seconds!
This is a helicopter, an aircraft that relies on vertical upward lift to maintain flight!
The two pilots on the No. 1 Seahawk anti-submarine helicopter almost jumped up, if they were not restrained by seat belts! The anti-submarine system operators in the rear cabin were not so lucky. Their heads hit the ceiling hard, and one of them fainted on the spot!
Fortunately, the pilot was relatively experienced and quickly controlled the plane at the critical moment to avoid crashing into the sea.
The captain of the "McCampbell" almost went crazy. The No. 1 Seahawk anti-submarine helicopter was one of his carrier aircraft. Without it, the ship's anti-submarine capabilities would almost be reduced in half.
The early models of the Burke class did not have the ability to carry carrier-based helicopters. Subsequent modifications began to configure hangars to carry carrier-based helicopters, which improved anti-submarine capabilities.
The "McCain" was launched eight years earlier than the "McCampbell". Although it is equipped with two SH-60 anti-submarine helicopters, it has no hangar and only has a landing platform and support facilities.
The initial target of the Burke-class development was the aircraft carrier's air defense destroyer. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the air defense pressure of the US Navy's aircraft carrier strike group dropped sharply, and the shortcoming of anti-submarine was highlighted, so hangars were added to the follow-up ships to facilitate Ship-borne helicopters can operate with the ship for long periods of time.
The key is that they cannot lose a Seahawk anti-submarine helicopter due to "pilot error" during a confrontation exercise. The economy is deteriorating, the landlords have no surplus food, and they cannot afford to build like this even if the funds increase every year!
"Seahawk returns! Come back all!" Captain Kane, the captain of the USS McCampbell, who served as the formation commander, gave the order decisively.
Unless the ship's air defense system is activated, there is no way to deal with the No. 037 J-7EGGHS - so what if your fire control locks it?
In the food chain of naval warfare, aircraft have always been at the top of ships, including submarines.
It is obvious that the No. 037 J-7EGGHS has shown a very determined attitude. If the two Burkes do not evacuate, more intense confrontation methods will be used.
It is not impossible for a scene like "my plane was ordered to hit your ship" to occur.
Colonel Kane knew that the pilot flying the No. 037 J-7EGGHS would never be the South China Sea Mad Dog. That man had already become a legend of the Chinese Air Force and would never appear in a low-intensity confrontation exercise. Even if he did, he would never fly the aircraft. Machine.
However, the pilot flying this aircraft has superb flying skills and extraordinary courage no less than the Nanhai Mad Dog, and seems to have a stronger fighting will.
I am most afraid of meeting such an opponent.
What faced Colonel Kane was a multiple-choice question - continue the confrontation, or give up the hunt for the Great Wall.
Giving up means admitting failure in this confrontation exercise. Continuing the confrontation will be full of unknown dangers, and anything can happen.
At the same time, Colonel Kane knew that the second batch of reinforcements from the red side would arrive soon. He knew that there were several J-8F fighter jets with sea attack capabilities deployed at the Forgotten Reef Airport.
He was hesitating, but Li Hai was impatient to wait any longer.
Li Hai didn't know the current situation of the Great Wall Armor, but he knew very well that the sooner the Burke class was driven away, the faster the Great Wall Armor could get out of danger. Regardless of other things, the nearly exhausted oxygen alone can cause irreparable damage to the officers and soldiers on the boat.
Li Hai pressed the nose of the aircraft while turning on the afterburner, and inadvertently completed a very difficult diving Cobra maneuver. The roar of the engine, the groan of the fuselage structure, and the trembling of the wings all reminded him that the structure of the fighter plane was undergoing severe tests.
The toughness of the nose landing gear support column is also under tremendous pressure under the sudden changes in temperature and centrifugal force.
In a race against time, Li Hai had no time to take care of him.
He shouted, "Lao Zhan, are you okay?"
Zhan Yuntian finally recovered, and he could see things slowly. His heart seemed to be stuck in his throat and he couldn't make a sound for a long time. It took him a long time to take a long breath, and then he said with difficulty, "No, I'm fine!"
"Good! Get your camera ready! That's your weapon!"
Li Hai continued to fly the aircraft with one hand. After turning off the afterburner, he adjusted the flaps to the take-off and landing position. He maintained the 60% throttle and resumed level flight. He continued to descend in altitude and pointed the nose of the aircraft in the same direction as the "McCampbell". Sailing.
The airspeed quickly dropped to 400 kilometers per hour. Li Hai frowned and decisively raised the speed brake on the back of the fuselage - the No. 037 J-7EGGHS was installed after replacing it with an unknown model engine with greater thrust. Back speed brake.
The airspeed quickly dropped to 250 kilometers per hour, and the altitude also dropped to 50 meters.
It was still a little short of the flight parameters Li Hai wanted.
"There is a way."
Li Hai had a plan.
At this time, the two Burke-class ships were exchanging positions. The "McCampbell" kept going straight, while the "McCain" was turning clockwise to the right in front of the left bow of the former. In other words, the "McCain" The route of the USS "McCampbell" will be invaded...
