Two Realms: Don't call me evil!

Chapter 432 Air Combat
1 Month 18 Day!
After being quiet for half a month, the Jeko Group made some unusual moves again, mobilizing troops and preparing to launch a new round of large-scale ground offensive.

The main purpose of this ceasefire is to allow more troops from the three Annan countries to enter Siam, so as to avoid scaring them and making them afraid to send reinforcements.

However, before the large-scale ground offensive was launched, the fighter jets of the Jeko Group started fighting first.

Kachuan Airport in Zen State is the largest military airport in Zen State, with more than eighty fighter jets.

In addition to some old third-generation fighter jets originally owned by the Zen government, there are also dozens of third-generation and a half and fourth-generation fighter jets purchased from the Bear Country and China.

At the airport, Su Jie stood in front of a fighter jet from the Russian Federation, which had been modified beyond recognition.

The radar inside the fuselage was replaced with a biological radar, and outside the fuselage, the fuselage was covered with a thin layer of flesh membrane, and the wings had wisps of feather firefly patterns flashing, which looked extremely strange.

This was naturally Su Jie's masterpiece, because the research and development of air control puppets at Puppet Hall had not yet yielded results. The research on air combat puppets was more difficult than that on ground vehicles. Now that spider mechas had begun to serve, the project that Su Jie had assigned to Puppet Hall on the research and development of air control puppets had not made any progress.

As a last resort, Su Jie took action himself, using the Wanbian Insect Codex and the help of engineers to make magical modifications based on modern fighter jets.

The advantage is that the strength of the modified fighter jets is enhanced, but the consequence is that the lifespan of the fighter jets is greatly reduced, and they are easily scrapped after only a few missions.

This is mainly because fighter jets are too sophisticated. The magic modifications Su Jie used to transform them were too simple and crude. The precision instruments and components inside the body could not withstand it. It's like installing a fighter engine on a motorcycle. The fighter jet will disintegrate after a few sorties, which is very painful.

Such a transformation is too expensive. The fighter jet itself is expensive to buy, and the transformation requires additional expenses, and all of them are spirit stones.

Ordinary spirit stones are not enough. You need mid-quality spirit stones, which will be scrapped after just a few uses. How sad!
This type of modified fighter is now collectively referred to as the Lingjiu Fighter within the Jeko Group. Because it was successfully modified not long ago, there are currently few of them.

The reason for suspending ground operations is to wait for this batch of modified fighters. Before gaining a certain degree of air superiority, the air superiority must at least be equal. If we rashly launch army-level ground combat, it will be too easy to be bombed by the air force.

"Commander, the First Flight Squadron is ready and can take off and fight at any time."

Next to him, the Zen Kingdom's air force general reported to Su Jie respectfully.

"Let's go. We need to gain a certain degree of air superiority."

Su Jie looked deep in the eyes and issued combat orders.

Soon, 24 modified Lingjiu fighter jets took off, and a large number of other fighter jets took off one after another, all of which had not been modified.

Not only this airport, but also many military airports in Zen Kingdom had ordinary fighter planes taking off. Most of the fighter planes flew towards Siam, and a small number flew to Annan, Zhenla and Lan Xang to give them gifts for joining the war.

During this period of ceasefire, Su Jie intends to increase the number of modified Lingjiu fighter jets. Currently, a squadron of 24 fighter jets has been modified.

Because the Lingjiu fighter is expensive, real money alone would be enough, but the key is that it takes a lot of spirit stones to modify the Lingjiu fighter.

Each time it is deployed, 1 durability is lost, and the total durability of the fighter is only three or four points. Even if you have a mine at home, it cannot withstand such a production!

With such a terrible scrap rate, the cost-effectiveness is not worth it. Except for air combat and attacks on high-value targets, ordinary air strikes are not practical and can only be used in key battles.

When the Zen Kingdom's fighter jets took off one after another, such a large-scale air force deployment could naturally not be hidden from the monitoring of ground radar stations.

In addition, Siam and Zen were too close to each other. As soon as the Zen fighter jets were dispatched, Siam received the news and urgently launched fighter jets to intercept and fight.

The radar stations deployed on the ground in Zen also captured the signals of Siamese fighter jets, and the cards of both sides were basically exposed.

Ten thousand meters above the sky, a shadow emerged from under the sea of ​​clouds and quickly broke through the sky.

Wu Boyan was wearing a mecha combat suit and driving this magically modified Lingjiu fighter.

That’s right, he is also a genetic warrior, a genetic warrior with enhanced perception, who can better cooperate with biological radar to sense and search for enemies.

Now, many places in the cabin of this fighter are covered with hyphae and tumors. Blood vessels are inserted into the mecha suit, allowing Wu Boyan to connect with the fighter and fight more efficiently. This driving system used for the spider main battle mecha has been transplanted to the Lingjiu fighter.

Such fighter jets can only be used by the Jeko Group itself. Even if the manufacturer of the fighter jets comes, it will be difficult to maintain and repair them. The Jeko Group can only do it itself.

"Alarm, alarm, fighter signal detected, fighter signal detected, signal source coordinates are located at..."

Suddenly, there was movement on the cockpit display.

Wu Boyan narrowed his eyes, veins bulged at the corners of his eyes, and he operated the biological radar at full power.

The biological radar, which uses sound waves, electromagnetic pulses and infrared radiation, has a great advantage in reconnaissance and discovered the Siamese enemy aircraft beyond visual range.

However, in Wu Boyan's perception, the enemy plane obviously had not changed its course and the other party still hadn't discovered him.

The two most important indicators for modern fighter jets in air combat are radar and stealth.

Because fighter planes detect and destroy first, whoever can detect the enemy first in an air combat, or reduce the chance of being discovered, is the key to victory.

In addition to its powerful biological radar detection capability, the flesh membrane wrapped around the body of the Lingjiu fighter can also effectively eliminate radar scanning, and its radar reflection area is very small, reaching the world's top level.

"Sending you on your way."

Wu Boyan did not hesitate at all and decisively controlled the missile launch.

The bomb bay under the belly of the fuselage opened, and an active radar-guided medium-range air-to-air missile fell off. After it separated from the fuselage, it was successfully cold-launched and ignited. The missile engine started working and flew rapidly forward.

After the missile was launched, Wu Boyan did not turn around, but continued to use the biological radar to continuously track and lock the target and guide the launched missile.

Wu Boyan only released the radar illumination when the launched air-to-air missile entered the range of the active guidance head.

It was not until this time that the enemy aircraft discovered the incoming air-to-air missiles and made violent maneuvers and dropped decoy bombs.

However, the opponent was ultimately unable to escape the lock of the air-to-air missile. The missile's speed could reach several Machs per hour, which was much faster than a fighter plane. When his decoy bomb failed to deceive the air-to-air missile, his chance of survival would drop a lot.

boom!
A Siamese JAS-39C/D Gripen fighter jet disintegrated in mid-air and turned into a fireball in the air.

As soon as the pilot ejected from the ejection seat, he was hit by flying shrapnel. When the parachute fell back to the ground, it only brought back the upper half of the pilot's body. The lower half had long since disappeared and no one knew where it went.

"Perfect."

Wu Boyan had a smile on his face. A missile destroyed the enemy's fighter jet worth tens of millions of dollars, which was a good start for his battle today.

He turned the plane around and was now in Siamese airspace. Looking down from the sky, he could see a Siamese city below. Wu Boyan lowered the flight altitude and flew across the city, causing the Siamese people below to scream and run around in panic, behaving very arrogantly.

This action naturally attracted the enemy, and soon other enemy planes came after him, which was also Wu Boyan's purpose.

The Lingjiu fighter jets have excellent combat capabilities. In order to avoid making their missions meaningless and wasting opportunities to destroy their fighter jets, they need to become targets to attract firepower and lure enemy planes over to kill them.

"Another plane. I wonder what model it is."

Wu Boyan discovered another enemy plane out of sight through the biological radar. Shortly after pressing the missile launch button, he suddenly heard a series of urgent alarms.

"Alert, there is a missile attack at the 11 o'clock direction, please take shelter, take shelter."

The fuselage's display screen sounded a crazy alarm, Wu Boyan's face was solemn, and while dropping decoy bombs, the fuselage began to maneuver drastically, turning on the fighter's afterburner, and soaring its speed to over Mach 2.

The so-called aircraft afterburner refers to the use of afterburner combustion chambers by jet aircraft, which sacrifices fuel consumption in exchange for speed, allowing the aircraft to obtain greater thrust in a short period of time.

When Wu Boyan mobilized the thrust of the Lingjiu fighter, the enchanted array pattern located in the engine burst out with powerful kinetic energy, providing the Lingjiu fighter with strong and surging power while the engine was shaking as if it was about to explode.

Wu Boyan saw the incoming missile out of the corner of his eye, and he kept flying his fighter plane to escape.

Generally speaking, the flight state of an air-to-air missile is divided into two parts, one is powered flight and the other is unpowered gliding.

The front half relies on engine thrust, while the rear half relies on the missile's inertia to fly and gradually slow down.

The most threatening time for air-to-air missiles is in the first half, because at this time the missile flies at the fastest speed, which can soar to several Mach per hour, while the inertial flight speed will decrease, and the threat to fighter jets will also decrease.

The speed at which the Lingjiu fighter jet starts afterburner burst is crucial. Wu Boyan bought himself two or three seconds. The thrust fuel of an air-to-air missile is generally only enough to fly for about ten seconds, and then it will enter inertial deceleration flight, at which time the missile's hit rate will drop sharply.

Relying on acceleration, the Lingjiu fighter piloted by Wu Boyan avoided the fastest thrust acceleration of the air-to-air missile, causing its fuel to be consumed and the missile speed to decrease. In addition, Wu Boyan's maneuvering of the fighter plane allowed him to narrowly avoid the incoming missile.

"That was a close call! I almost lost my life."

Wu Boyan's heart was pounding as he saw that the missile he launched missed the target.

The enemy plane turned on the afterburner, causing the air-to-air missile it launched to exceed the maximum thrust stage. The enemy plane then side-slipped at a large angle to throw off the missile that had no fuel thrust.

The two fighter jets were flying towards each other, and both had just activated the afterburner. The distance of just a few dozen kilometers passed in a flash, and both sides were able to see each other and were within visual range.

"It turned out to be the F-35 sold by the United States to Siam. No wonder it flies so fast."

With the eyesight of a genetic warrior, Wu Boyan saw clearly that the enemy fighter plane was an F-35 stealth fighter from the United States.

Siam originally purchased twenty F-35 fighter jets from the United States. Each of these fighter jets costs over million U.S. dollars and is the treasure of the Siamese Air Force.

"Wang Defa, what the hell is that?"

A black pilot was flying an F-35 stealth fighter jet. He was a special pilot from the United States, named Somjet Thorn. When he saw the Vulture fighter jet, his eyes widened with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

He was hired by the United States as a mercenary to join the Siamese Air Force to help fight.

This was also his first time to take off and fight in Siam, and he saw the Vulture fighter, a half-mechanized, half-flesh aircraft that left him dumbfounded.

The fuselage was not made of steel, but covered with a layer of flesh membrane. There were also bones and feather-like things on the nose and wings. It looked like a strange bird with its mouth open, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.

Wu Boyan didn't care what the other party was thinking. He decisively controlled the Lingjiu fighter to meet the attack. The distance between the two sides was too close. The distance was not enough for the missile to ignite and accelerate. The two sides had entered the combat distance. The only thing they could trust was the machine gun.

The competition at this time is to see who is better at somersaults and sharp turns.

Dogfights between fighter jets rarely occur in modern air combats. Obviously, Wu Boyan encountered this rare situation today, but he was not afraid at all. Instead, he was full of confidence.

"You're such an ugly plane, look at me, I'm going to knock you down."

Somjet cursed and pulled the joystick, aiming the nose of the fighter plane at Wu Boyan. He fired 25mm machine gun rounds one after another, with tracer bullets mixed in indicating the trajectory.

Wu Boyan smiled coldly, and without any manual operation, he controlled the plane to turn and climb through the neural connection. The fighter plane flew straight up, and all the machine gun fire missed.

Somjet's face changed, he realized something was wrong and wanted to change direction urgently, but it was too late.

During Wu Boyan's climb, the plane flipped over and started flying inverted, with the cockpit facing the ground and the belly of the plane facing the sky.

A normal pilot will experience reverse negative G-force at this time, blood will suddenly rise to the head, intracranial pressure will increase, and the pilot will feel extremely painful. The fighter may even stall and crash.

This is a game that requires skill and courage, and is usually only operated by elite pilots for use in aerobatic performances.

However, Wu Boyan is a genetic warrior, and the pressure caused by the backward flight will not cause him any discomfort. During the backward flight, he pressed the nose of the plane down and rolled the fuselage to lock onto the F-35 fighter that was turning at a large angle.

"Goodbye little chick, return to the embrace of Mother Earth!"

With a slight smirk on his lips, Wu Boyan's five senses and nerve reactions made him the best in close combat.

He locked the nose of the plane at the F-35 fighter jet, constantly making fine adjustments to maintain the balance of the fuselage, and fired the machine gun calmly.

The machine gun bullets formed a downward arc in the air, and Wu Boyan even calculated the arc of the falling machine gun bullets. The thick machine gun bullets drilled large holes in the F-35 fighter, penetrated the fuselage of the aircraft, and destroyed the sophisticated electronic instruments and engines inside.

In an instant, thick black smoke came out of the fuselage and a fire broke out at the tail.

Unfortunately, Somjet was hit by a machine gun and his head was smashed by a machine gun, leaving him no chance to even fire the ejection seat.

In the end, this stealth fighter worth hundreds of millions of dollars went straight down and crashed near a village. The fuel and missiles inside the plane exploded, creating a huge fireball in the air, which scared the villagers.

"This is the second one. The standard for an ace pilot is to shoot down five fighter planes. I don't know if I have a chance to achieve that."

Wu Boyan whistled excitedly, feeling extremely thrilled with his victory.

He couldn't wait to continue flying his fighter, looking for the next enemy plane that dared to take off, and regarded them as qualifications for his promotion to ace pilot.
