The strongest pilot ever

Chapter 350

350 can't see

The key to the success of this operation lies in speed and the connection between the various links. First, the J-[-] quickly penetrates the defense, making full use of its speed advantage and stealth advantage, and inserts into the air defense airspace of Heilongbao like lightning. Kill the AWACS cruising in the sky and wipe out all the alien fighters cruising above.

Afterwards, bombers entered and dropped a large amount of ammunition on the key targets of Heilongbao, destroyed the runway, knocked out the ground-to-air early warning radar, and flattened the ground-guided missile forces. Of course, some ground-based air defense targets also required the participation of the J-[-], such as Some flak units or something.After these targets are cleared, the bombers return to the field, the J-[-] brigade disperses, and escorts from a distance. The J-[-] J-H fighter brigade seamlessly docks, enters quickly, and quickly clears ground targets. The targets of the Falcon brigade include armored clusters , underground fortress, alien infantry base, etc.

After Fade Chen got in touch with the AWACS, he began to fly towards the target airspace according to the instructions of the AWACS.

The key to this mission is speed, so the altitude should not be too low, and this time with the escort of the J-[-] Brigade, there is no need to fly too low.

While flying, Fade Chen clicked on the leftmost piece of the multi-function display, which displayed the weapon mounting system.

The display screen of their J-35 is exactly the same as that of the F[-] and J-[-]. They are all large-screen multi-functional LCD displays. Even under direct sunlight, they can be seen clearly. The display can at most It is divided into six separate areas, and each area can display different content. Of course, there is no regulation on which area to display what. It depends entirely on the habits of the pilot and Fade Chen. The leftmost is the weapon mount. On the far right is the radar.

He first looked at the weapon mounting system. The twelve mounting points are full, and each mounting point is also normal. In this mission, in addition to carrying some precision-guided ammunition, they also brought some ordinary weapons. The aviation bombs, to be honest, throwing this round of ammunition, millions of banknotes are gone, the consumption is not usually large, it really hurts a bit.

From this point of view, the most luxurious in the world is the aviation unit. Once the plane is launched, the fuel consumption will be several tons, and a lot of small money will be lost. Throwing a guided munition at will costs hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. No more, not to mention that every time they dispatch, dozens or even hundreds of personnel and equipment are required to cooperate, which also costs a lot of money. Even the richest man in the world dare not spend such money!
After flying for about 15 minutes, the voice of the early warning aircraft came over: "Falcon, correct the course to 255 and enter the next navigation point."

"Understood, correct the course to 255." Fade Chen replied, after that, he adjusted the course.

For this mission, they have already planned their flight route before, but the situation in the air is changing at any time, and the situation on the battlefield is changing, so the route must be adjusted appropriately. At this time, their flight route is slightly different from before.

Fade Chen reckoned that there should be an alien AWACS near the original route, so he had to get away a little to avoid it.

The warning range of the early warning aircraft is very powerful. The airborne radar of an ordinary fighter jet can detect more than 100 kilometers. There is nothing you can do, to be honest, in the air, the distance of four or five hundred kilometers is really nothing.

The 26 fighter-bombers of the Falcon Brigade are flying in the air like a herringbone. Their speed is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, but the speed is not up to them. When to fly at what altitude and what speed to use, it is all commanded by the early warning aircraft. The early warning aircraft should be adjusted in due course according to the situation of the J-[-] Brigade in front. Only when the J-[-] Brigade has cleared the airspace in front of them can they enter. Otherwise, their J-[-] is just a living target in the sky.

Fade Chen looked at the radar warning device from time to time.

His airborne active phased array radar was not turned on, but the data detected by the early warning aircraft and the data detected by our ground radar on the ground transmitted the results through the data link, and intuitively displayed on the multi-function display.

In fact, when there is danger, the radar warning device will emit a warning sound, so many pilots generally do not look at the warning device, but Chen Fei has developed the habit of checking it from time to time, and the pilots of the Falcon Brigade also They have all developed this habit, because there are many dangers, the system may not think it is dangerous, but experienced pilots can judge the danger based on a few clues, so as to avoid it in advance, so Fade Chen asked the pilots of the Falcon Brigade not to be too dangerous. Instead of relying too much on fighter jet systems, you have to look at the data yourself, use your brains, think more, and summarize more.

Fade Chen lowered his head and glanced at the radar alarm, it was quiet and there was no threat.

He breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and glanced at the navigation map, and was about to enter the next navigation point.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, he pressed the joystick to the left and pushed the rudder at the same time. The fighter then turned sideways, [-] degrees to the left, then turned a turn of about [-] degrees, and flew towards the next navigation point. past.

When he turned sideways, the rest of the fighters also turned sideways. Looking at their formation from a distant sky, it was like a herringbone formation of wild geese flying sideways together. It was really beautiful.

As soon as the turn was completed, the voice of the early warning aircraft came over: "Falcon, there are four alien fighters taking off in the direction of Kador. I don't know their heading yet, so first lower the altitude to 1000 meters and avoid it for the time being!"

"Understood, lower the altitude to 1000 meters!" Fade Chen replied. Afterwards, he pressed the stick, and the J-45 fighter jet swooped down towards the ground at an angle of [-] degrees.

When they flew to an altitude of 1000 meters, they were hiding on one side of a rolling mountain, and the formation of alien aircraft was on the other side of the mountain. In this case, even if the alien aircraft turned on the airborne radar Scanning the airspace on this side, they can't see anything.

The early warning aircraft was farther away, and the airborne radar of that alien aircraft would naturally not be able to see it.

After lowering the altitude for a while, the early warning aircraft said again: "Falcon, the sharp knife is at your three o'clock direction, and the distance is 500 kilometers, so reduce the speed to [-] per hour."

"The speed is [-] kilometers per hour, the eagle understands!"

Fade Chen retracted the throttle lever.

I don't know what happened before, but the speed of the J-[-] Brigade suddenly slowed down a lot, so they also had to slow down.

After slowing down, Fade Chen raised his head and took a look in the direction of three o'clock. It was twenty kilometers away, and it was sunny again, so he should be able to see it. His eyesight is very good, eagle eye level.

He looked up and glanced over there.

Ok?
He was stunned.

Why can't I see anything?

Oh, got it, low-vis paint!

Fade Chen suddenly remembered.

In fact, the painting of the early fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force is very simple. It is a white body with a red military emblem and a tactical number. The pilots quickly identify the enemy and the enemy, but the paint is too bright, and it also allows the opponent to observe our fighter jets from a long distance.

In fact, the painting of each type of fighter is not random, and there are deep meanings in it.The painting on the fighter plane has six main functions:

One is to conceal the truth and show the false.Painting is essentially an optical stealth technology that blends the aircraft with the background, making it difficult for the enemy to spot and identify.Such as F-22, J-20, and J-16 testing new paint.In order to improve the concealment ability and adaptability of aircraft in different areas of activity, the painting of fighter jets has gradually developed from single color to multi-color, and the color is changed according to the characteristics of the region and airspace.Carrier-based aircraft operating at sea are generally dominated by light gray, light blue and white, just like the camouflage uniforms of army soldiers.

The second is to adapt to the task of the aircraft type.Air superiority fighters require close combat capabilities, so two light gray deformation coatings are used on the upper and lower surfaces.When the interceptor is flying at high altitude, due to the strong light scattering on the fuselage, in order to reduce the contrast with the background, it is usually painted in dark gray monochrome.Attack aircraft are responsible for low-altitude attack missions, and mostly use paint that is similar in color to the ground.

The third is to ensure high visibility.Training, rescue and test aircraft require obvious color difference and high contrast with the background.Search and rescue aircraft are usually painted in high-visibility orange and white, and trainers generally use white on the fuselage, red on the bottom, and red wingtips, so that instructors can clearly observe the flight situation.

The fourth is to eliminate visual fatigue.Factors such as color, brightness and time are important factors that cause visual fatigue of pilots.In order to eliminate or reduce the pilot's visual fatigue, the front of the cockpit is painted with an anti-glare color with poor reflectivity and good light absorption, usually black or dark gray.

The fifth is sun protection.Strong sunlight will increase the temperature inside the aircraft, which is not conducive to aircraft maintenance and operation.Therefore, white and gray are included in the sunscreen colors of aircraft in the relevant military specifications of the US military.

The sixth is to promote military prestige.Military aircraft are often sprayed with some marks, patterns, pilot names and the number of enemy aircraft shot down to improve the morale of combatants, such as the tiger shark painting painted on the P-40 in World War II.

At this time, all fighter jets at the Sanjiang base have adopted low-visibility paint.

The rapid development of contemporary technology makes the vast majority of future air combat scenarios outside the line of sight, but this does not mean that close combat will not occur, but the danger of close combat will increase.

New generation fighters such as F-35 and my country's J-20 are equipped with distributed optical aperture systems.The pilot can search for targets within dozens of kilometers without turning on the radar. With the head-mounted display system, the pilot can even directly lock the target and guide the missile to attack the target. case was hit.And the low-visibility painting that removes the bright signs can reduce the chance of fighters being spotted in the air to a certain extent, even if it is small, it is also useful.

Fade Chen hadn't carefully studied our army's low-visibility painting before. Now at first glance, he really can't see anything. His eyesight is very good, but he still can't see anything.

He widened his eyes and carefully identified it for a long time before he saw the J-[-]A Flying Brigade hidden in the sky!

"It seems that our low-visibility painting is developing well!" Fade Chen smiled.
