Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 392 [Even the "20th Princess" was powerless against the generational advantage]

Meanwhile, in the air combat exercise, the red and blue sides each deployed one J-36 Shenlong fighter jet and 24 J-20 Weilong fighter jets, marking the first time in history that a sixth-generation fighter jet has faced off against a fifth-generation fighter jet.

On the radar screen of the early warning aircraft, a formation of 24 J-20 fighter jets could be seen cruising at Mach 1.8.

The military's choice of 24 J-20 fighter jets as an adversary is undeniably impressive. In integrated warfare, these 24 J-20s can inflict devastating damage on the air force of a medium-sized country.

But now they have to gang up on a J-36 fighter jet.

At that moment, a warning suddenly popped up on the helmet display of the J-20 squadron leader: a target with a radar cross-section of only 0.0005 square meters was approaching at a speed of Mach 5.5, located 800 kilometers northwest of the formation.

"Attention all!"

Before the squadron leader could finish speaking, the radar in the cockpit suddenly malfunctioned. 300 kilometers away, the J-36 fighter jet's stealth coating was compressing its radar signal to the level of a mosquito, and it had already simultaneously cracked the J-20's data link.

At this moment, the J-36 fighter jet, controlling 12 "Attack-11" drones, has completed the triangular encirclement according to the AI ​​plan. The AI ​​of the J-36 fighter jet has initiated microwave suppression, and the six phased array antennas on the back of the aircraft immediately release electromagnetic pulses.

"Radar malfunction! Lock-on lost!"

An emergency call came from a wingman on the J-20 fighter jet's side. Looking at the blacked-out display screen, he suddenly discovered that all the tactical data links had been injected with false coordinates.

Meanwhile, J-36 fighter jets have launched beyond-visual-range strikes, simulating the launch of PL-17 missiles, prioritizing attacks on the opponent's early warning aircraft.

Approximately 120 seconds later, the opponent's KJ-500 early warning aircraft was "shot down" and withdrew from the exercise.

接下来的演习场面上演了J-36战斗机与J-20战机的近距格斗，当J-20编队勉强重启雷达时，他们的对手J-36战斗机突然以8.33马赫超速飞行切入其防御圈。

The tailless J-36 fighter jet made a 120-degree turn and even completed a "falling leaf" maneuver at supersonic speed.

The scene left the pilots of the J-20 fighter jets stunned for a moment. Only then did they realize that the J-36 fighter jet was an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). There was no pilot on board, so there was no need to consider the impact of maneuvering overload on the human body. As long as the aircraft itself could withstand it, it could perform powerful maneuvers that manned fighter jets could never do.

At that moment, the J-36 was like a "queen bee" suddenly commanding eight "Attack-11" drones to emerge from the clouds, and the miniature electromagnetic pulse bombs they carried precisely paralyzed the J-20's missile launch system.

The remaining four drones, together with the "Queen Bee" J-36 fighter jet, formed an "electromagnetic cage" to continue suppressing the enemy, while directional microwave beams continuously interfered with the J-20's flight control system.

"Damn it, this is the first time I've ever felt so frustrated flying a J-20..." A pilot flying a J-20 fighter jet couldn't help but curse, deeply experiencing the frustration of being outmatched by the generational gap.

The J-10 fighter jet gave "Brother 36" a thumbs up.

In previous exercises, the J-20 fighter jets have also outclassed the J-10 by a generational gap, leaving the J-10 with almost no chance to fight back.

The pilot, facing a situation where he had only three PL-15 missiles left, used them all in a desperate attempt, but the J-36 fighter jet's laser defense system intercepted them three times in 0.3 seconds.

The J-36 fighter jet is equipped with a laser defense system, which was developed by another domestic military enterprise and is now being used on the J-36 fighter jet. However, the laser weapon defense mechanism prevents it from attacking.

Because the fighter jets don't carry enough energy to support high-frequency, sustained attacks, the power consumption is simply too high. Unless Xiao Yu pulls out an ultra-high energy density battery from Earth, not only would there be no need to worry about energy shortages, but he could directly use sub-light-speed high-energy weapons like plasma beams. The laser defense system can burn up incoming missiles within 3 kilometers, but in actual combat, the laser defense system carried by the J-36 fighter jet is basically useless.

The reason is simple: there is no adversary on Earth that can pose such a great threat to the J-36. Enemy missiles will almost never come within 3 kilometers of the aircraft unless the J-36 actively chases the missile. The J-36 can keep up with the speed of the missile, while the missile cannot catch up with the J-36 fighter jet.

The laser defense system was used at this moment because of close-range combat with the J-20. Even close-range combat is something that only happens in exercises. In real combat, the J-36 fighter jet will definitely engage in beyond-visual-range attacks, and close-range combat is simply impossible.

Meanwhile, the J-36 fighter jet started its pulse detonation engine on its back, accelerating instantly, and had already circled behind the J-20 formation before the sonic boom cloud had dissipated.

The speed was incredibly fast, perfectly illustrating that in martial arts, speed is the ultimate weapon.

The pilots of the J-20 fighter jets reacted quickly, but their fighter jets were not as fast as the J-36 fighter jets, and could not keep up with the pace at all.

In this way, the J-36 fighter jets "shot down" their opponents one by one, and the pilots of the J-20 fighter jets could only watch helplessly as they were "shot down" without being able to fight back. When the last J-20 fighter jet was "shot down", the command issued a termination order.

这场仅持续了8分钟的空战演练对抗，结果是1架J-36战斗机以一己之力“全歼”24架J-20战斗机，基本上是单方面碾压的态势。

The commander-in-chief of the command center exclaimed, "This exercise is enough to show that the J-36 will redefine the rules of future air combat. It has already proven that when hypersonic cruise, all-aspect stealth, and drone swarms are coordinated to form a system, traditional fifth-generation fighters have lost their qualification to compete with the latest sixth-generation fighters."

The chief of staff next to him nodded and said, "This is the first time I've ever seen the J-20 being unilaterally crushed, especially when it's 24 against 1."

In fact, everyone was shocked by the results of the exercise. Everyone knows the capabilities of the J-20, but it was powerless against the J-36, a sixth-generation fighter jet.

But beyond the shock, there was even more excitement, because the J-36 fighter jet that crushed the J-20 was also one of their own aircraft.

As the J-36 returned and successfully landed vertically inside the air force base, ground crew immediately began their work.

Several high-ranking military officers arrived at the scene and looked at the Shenlong fighter jet with great admiration in their eyes.

The J-36 fighter jet's full potential was not fully realized in this air combat exercise.

其所搭载的最新量子雷达能在600公里外锁定F-35战斗机，搭载的PL-17超远程导弹能在400公里外狙杀预警机，激光防御系统能在3公里内的近防烧毁来袭导弹。

It is particularly worth mentioning that the J-36 fighter jet can be described as a super arsenal on the air.

主弹舱可携带22枚PL-15中距离导弹和6枚PL-17超远程导弹，射程400公里，专打预警机、加油机，隐藏式侧弹舱内部还可挂载4枚PL-10格斗弹。

Different missiles can be equipped to meet different strategic needs. When the mission requires targeting warships, the YJ-21 hypersonic anti-ship missile can be selected. Its Mach 6 dive speed is designed to deal with any challenges from American aircraft carriers. It can also carry various types of aerial bombs and transform into a strategic long-range bomber.
