Chapter 811 Fifth-Generation Fighter Jets and Drones: 'Wolfpack' Tactics

Jiang Chen still remembers the first time he piloted the FC-31 Falcon Eagle, he felt as if he were in a science fiction movie.

Because the FC-31 Gyrfalcon's display is so futuristic and intelligent.

The FC-31 Falcon Eagle is different from the J-20 and F-22 Raptor.

It is not a single LCD screen.

Instead, it consists of a large square screen and two small trapezoidal screens.

A large square LCD screen occupies about 70% of the page.

Two smaller trapezoidal screens are located on top of the larger one, on the left and right sides respectively.

So many people find it strange.

The FC-31 Falcon Eagle is clearly a medium-sized fighter jet.

Moreover, it was "looked down upon" by the Air Force and has already begun to be modified into a carrier-based aircraft for the Navy.

Why are the costs so high?

It's not even much cheaper than the J-20 Mighty Dragon.

So what makes the FC-31 Gyrfalcon so expensive?
Is it an aircraft engine capable of spraying Mach rings?

Is it an electro-optical targeting system—EOTS?
It's also the stealth material used in the fuselage.

Or is it the coolest and best-looking design among currently serving modern fighter jets?
After all, a fighter jet with a cool appearance can't be too bad in terms of combat capability.

However, Jiang Chen had already spoken with the engineers at Shenfei.

The FC-31 Falcon is expensive.

The biggest reason is the two trapezoidal screens in the cockpit flight control console.

Most fighter jet flight control consoles worldwide are designed with rectangular cuts and layouts.

In the case of a fifth-generation fighter jet, it's possible that all that's left is a large LCD screen.

However, although the screen is a piece.

However, the screen content is also evenly divided.

Therefore, the trapezoidal screen design is unique to the FC-31 Falcon Eagle; there are no other variants.

At the time, Jiang Chen also asked the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation engineers why they adopted this innovative design approach.

The engineer's answer was simple.

The FC-31 Gyrfalcon is not just a fighter jet capable of penetration, defense, solo combat, and wolf pack tactics.

They have the potential to become the alpha wolf.

Yes.

It is not an early warning aircraft.

Instead, it's the 'alpha wolf'

Wolves are social animals.

Whether under threat or while hunting.

The alpha wolf devises the tactics and leads the pack in a fierce charge.

In other words.

Although the 'alpha wolf' is also the command center.

But this is completely different from an early warning aircraft that is hundreds of kilometers away.

The alpha wolf is on the front lines.

Not only must he command the wolf pack, but he must also personally take to the field.

While the definitions of fifth-generation fighter jets are largely similar across countries, there are subtle differences.

The general consensus is that fifth-generation fighter jets must possess stealth capabilities, supersonic cruise, super maneuverability, and beyond-visual-range strike capabilities, among others.

However, the University of Tokyo has gained a new understanding of the combat capabilities of stealth fighters.

—The Alpha Wolf!
Whether it's the J-20 Mighty Dragon or the FC-31 Falcon Eagle.

They must all possess the 'alpha wolf' attribute.

When Jiang Chen flew the J-20 Mighty Dragon before, he mainly practiced its penetration tactics.
Therefore, it is currently unknown how the J-20 Mighty Dragon will develop its 'alpha wolf' attributes.

However, he flew over the FC-31 Falcon more than once.

It is known that if the FC-31 Falcon wants to develop the 'alpha wolf' attribute, it must make good use of the two trapezoidal screens.

Tonight's special mission.

Rather than using air strikes to completely contain those traitors who crossed the border in the eastern Pamir Plateau, it was more about...

It would be more accurate to say that this mission was used to test the 'alpha wolf' attribute of the C-31 Gyrfalcon.

Capital city time.

Around 1 a.m.

This FC-31 Falcon Eagle was already far away in the Tianshan Mountains.

Heading towards the 'battlefield' more than a thousand kilometers away.

And after he piloted the plane over the Taklamakan Desert and entered the snowy plateau.

On the radar screen.

Several unfamiliar signals suddenly appeared.

Just a few seconds.

The airborne radar had already analyzed all the data from these unfamiliar signals. It turned out to be several domestically produced high-speed stealth reconnaissance and strike drones.

Jiang Chen saw this.

His expression shifted slightly.

Because he knows.

His 'wolf pack' has arrived.

"Tiger Head, we just received intelligence that almost all of these bastards have arrived. Not only are there seven or eight hundred small fry, but there are also quite a few important figures."

A lieutenant colonel leaned over and whispered.

Tiger Head leaned against a rock and nodded slightly.

Their location was about 100 meters vertically from the riverbank.

Because this valley is full of jagged rocks.

So these hundred-plus people hiding here are like they've become invisible.

However, the group below was really not professional enough.

It's even worse than dt.

A camp for thousands of people.

They only sent a dozen or so people to guard the area outside the camp.

They failed to seize the high ground.

There were no overt or covert sentries assigned.

If Tiger Head is willing.

He could easily lead his hundred or so men to beat these thousand-plus people to a pulp.

However, it is limited by the terrain.

The 'Northwest Tiger' could wipe out most of this gang of scum.

However, there will still be quite a few who slip through the net.

This is something Tiger Head doesn't want to see.

"Tiger Head, now that the big fish is in the net, let's just close it up. We've been hiding in this godforsaken place all day, getting bored to death," a captain said with some 'dissatisfaction'.

But he had barely finished speaking.

Tiger Head glared at him.

"You think it's tough? Then get out of here. Now that you're here with 'Northwest Tiger,' you must follow orders. If any of you dare to complain or act on your own, don't blame me for not showing any camaraderie."

The other person shrank back.

I dare not utter another word.

Seeing this, Tiger Head said again, "It's easy to defeat this group of enemies, but it's difficult to annihilate them all. Moreover, our mission is not only to eliminate this bunch of scum, but also to coordinate with our brother units in practicing new tactics."

"So please be patient with me."

"We only began to eliminate the remaining fugitives after the air strike forces launched their attack."

The other special forces soldiers heard this.

Their faces all turned solemn.

It's already autumn.

So it is in the Pamir Plateau at an altitude of four to five thousand meters.

The temperature had already dropped below zero in the early hours of the morning.

In the sky.

Snowflakes have already begun to fall.

At the campsite beside the riverbank.

Bright lights.

Even now, there are still many armed groups coming and going.

Without exception, they were all frozen red-faced and their legs were trembling.

However, these people seem to be in high spirits.

Some people even prostrated themselves on the ground in the open space, offering the most devout worship to the distant snow-capped mountains.

More than a hundred kilometers away.

Jiang Chen has already reunited with his 'wolf pack'.

Then, a mighty force roared towards this plateau.

He has now taken over the management of these hypersonic stealth drones capable of both reconnaissance and strike.

Theoretically speaking.

As long as he gives the order.

These stealth drones will execute this unconditionally.

But this is only in theory.

Whether the FC-31 Gyrfalcon's performance has reached such a superior level remains to be seen, and we'll have to wait for tonight's actual combat to find out.
