Changkong Fighter

Chapter 152 Air Cover
"Flying Shark-12 calling Flying Shark 9, 10, 11, prepare for triangulation."

Flying Shark-6 and Flying Shark-12, the only two J15S in the squadron, are considered the two cores of the Flying Shark Squadron. They are equipped with two fewer PL15 missiles and replaced with pods.

"Flying Shark-9, read it!"

"Flying Shark-10, read it!"

The three Flying Shark fighter jets that received the order quickly evacuated, keeping a certain distance from each other.

To completely determine the direction of the interference source, spatial triangulation is required. The interference range of the alien spacecraft is spherical. By varying the spatial position of the flying shark and the intensity of the interference, the computer can roughly calculate the location of the interference source.

Interference clutter passed through the bodies of the three J3Ts, and the onboard computer sent data to the J15S with the pod. The electronic fighter in the back seat of the J15S operated the computing equipment to calculate the source of interference.

Although the chips in airborne equipment are not as advanced as those in civilian equipment, the outstanding feature of military products at this moment is stability and reliability, and triangulation in space is not difficult. It’s just that under the influence of Type 1, there is a large error, but the lidar will make up for this error.

After calculating the data, it was sent to Liu Jun before the communication was completely disrupted.

"Flying Shark-12, calling Changkong, interference source direction 12 o'clock, above, distance 10000! Head on! Repeat! Head on!"

"Changkong, Flying Shark-13, read."

Just after the Flying Shark-12 sent the message, Liu Jun looked at the digital front cockpit cover and marked a red spherical area on the spatial scale, about 20km in range, within the scanning range of the laser search radar.

After abandoning the auxiliary fuel tank, Liu Jun flew over the range where the 12 fighter planes of the Flying Shark Squadron were exchanging fire with the enemy and flew towards the area. He didn't even notice that the corner of his mouth with the oxygen mask on was slightly raised, and excitement emanated from the depths of his eyes.

Swish!
The J15T left a contrail at high altitude and flew towards the abnormal area. Liu Jun controlled the laser radar on the bow to find the Type 3 with optical camouflage activated.

Inside EODAS, the RFID of other J15Ts was captured. The J15T was already face-to-face with the remaining Type 1s, and the two sides were about to come into contact.

In the high-definition thermal imaging, Liu Jun clearly saw that before the Flying Shark Squadron entered the visual range battle, it fired all 24 PL11A medium-range infrared missiles it carried, killing another 20 Type 1s. The remaining 18 Type 1s continued to approach the Flying Shark Squadron.

When the distance entered the locking range of the PL10 seeker, 12 J15s launched PL10 respectively, and after hitting 10 Type 1s again, only 1 Type 8s remained, and both sides also entered the dangerous 20 kilometers. When flying face to face, the two sides would stagger in about 30 seconds.

At this time, the Flying Shark Squadron Leader fired jamming bombs modified into flares upwards, and two red flares lit up in the air.

The battle situation began to change. After the evacuation, the lead aircraft in the two-plane formation quickly performed an evasive maneuver to the right when approaching Type 1, while the wingman avoided to the left.

There were 6 Flying Sharks on each side, which seemed to disrupt the search logic of the 8 Type 1s. The 8 planes chased the wingman on the right almost at the same time. At this moment, the leader plane on the right side quickly turned its nose, locked the Type 1 with its butt facing itself, and fired all its missiles.

Six PL-6s pursued the eight Type-10s, shooting down five in the explosions. The remaining three continued to hound the J-8s. However, the wingman's deliberate containment kept the two aircraft at a safe distance of three kilometers, continuously dropping "smog jammers" behind them. By this point, Liu Jun had reached a point five kilometers above the three Type-1s, banked to the right, and turned his gaze toward the Type-5s below. The missile's seeker followed the rotation, locking onto the remaining three Type-1s below, and he pressed the launch button.

The six PL6 missiles mounted under the wings flew out and launched a top-down attack on the three Type 10 aircraft from a high altitude.

After launching the missile, Liu Jun no longer paid attention to PL10. With two missiles attacking one target, the probability of these Type 2 missiles surviving was infinitely close to zero.

After launching, the PL-10, equipped with a vectored nozzle, made a slight turn, its seeker fixed on the Type-1. Accelerated by gravity, its speed grew faster and faster, and it finally slammed into the Type-1, killing it as it bit its comrade's six o'clock position.
Even if Liu Jun didn't notice, another team of Flying Sharks could quickly eliminate these Type 1s, but it would require cooperation between the leader and the wingman, which would waste some time. Liu Jun's J15T was carrying a full 10 PL10 missiles, which was a bit too many. It would be better to fire six to reduce the weight and drag of the aircraft.

Because what he will face next is a Type 3 target that is large in size and has a very sharp attack. Only by reducing the weight and resistance of the aircraft as soon as possible can the performance of the aircraft be fully utilized.

When Liu Jun flew over, six huge flames exploded in the sky a few seconds later, and Type 1 fragments fell in the air.

After eliminating all Type 1s, the Flying Shark Squadron looked up at the contrails in the sky and flew towards Type 3 along a long line.

At this moment, the pilots of the US bomber squadron became nervous. They were still some distance away from entering the launch range of the Tomahawk cruise missiles, and the Type 3 were flying face to face, and they would soon have a head-on encounter!
The thought of that terrifying laser beam was like a finger of death to their strategic bombers. They could not achieve high-G overload like fighter jets.

However, just as they thought, after flying for a distance, all aircraft's radar systems began to experience clutter, and communications were also disrupted!
Directly in front of the American pilots, dozens of flashing pixels appeared in front of them and were shot down by the Flying Shark Squadron like lighters. This made the pilots feel greatly relieved. At least these Eastern naval aviation were reliable, and that special pilot also flew towards the front line.

"Calling all aircraft, prepare to launch cruise missiles!"

"Roger that!"

The crews of each bomber began to input launch parameters for the mounted Tomahawk cruise missiles.

As a signature weapon of the United States, the Tomahawk cruise missile has many navigation modes. Even if it cannot use GPS guidance under Type 3 interference, it can still use inertial, terrain matching and other comprehensive guidance levels. This is why the Americans chose the Tomahawk.

The B-1B opened its ammunition bay, revealing a revolving rack on which were mounted Tomahawk cruise missiles that looked like bullets. The rack rotated to launch each Tomahawk cruise missile.

"Get ready, wait what is that?"

Just as the B-1B was about to launch a Tomahawk cruise missile, it saw an orange-red beam sweeping through the air in the distance, and all the air in its path exploded instantly.

Against the backdrop of the beam of light, a small black dot is extremely eye-catching.
