Changkong Fighter

Chapter 170 Couldn’t you have shot it down earlier?
Type 2 left turn, Liu Jun slightly pulled the stick, raised the nose of the J15T, increased the flight distance, and thus "reduced the speed" per unit time, once again biting the rear hemisphere of the alien spacecraft.

Biting the opponent, Liu Jun glanced above himself. With his extraordinary eyesight, he could see two black spots circling above him in the sky. After identifying the outline of the aircraft, Liu Jun recognized it as the UAE F16.

They did not rush into the battlefield, but circled and observed. If Liu Jun was in danger, they would swoop down to save him, but they would never do the stupid thing of launching missiles at the enemy who was fighting with friendly forces!
Two UAE F16s circled and observed the battle below. The pilots looked at the human pilots fighting the alien aircraft in disbelief.

As people who have experienced it firsthand, they will not be deceived by the battle situation below. In the battle with Type 1 just now, they knew how difficult these things were. When the weapons and equipment were not upgraded, the best tactic for a fighter to encounter Type 1 was not to make contact with the opponent.

But in an escort mission, especially one to escort important personnel, the pilots must prioritize completing the mission. Looking at the struggling alien spacecraft, if they were in their place, they would probably abandon the plane and parachute out.

Anyway, for the big guys, surrender is not a shameful thing. Life is life and war is war.

Suddenly, the battle situation below changed. The Type 2 that was bitten suddenly pulled up and made a maneuver similar to a cobra maneuver, instantly increasing the maximum angle of attack, which would allow the fighter behind to overtake.

However, in their opinion, this maneuver is useless. If the lagging chasing aircraft climbs higher, then the fighter that has just completed the Cobra maneuver and has no speed will become a piece of meat hanging in the air, and the fighter that comes down after climbing will easily shoot down the meat target.

The other party won’t get ahead, right?
Under the watchful eyes of the UAE F16 pilot, the J15T did not climb, but instead accelerated to overtake the alien aircraft, putting itself directly at a disadvantage.

What is he going to do?
The F16 pilot rolled, preparing for a Type 2 dive attack, shielding Liu Jun and forcing the alien craft to abandon its tail attack. The next second, the J15T's maneuver forced them to abandon their support, while they wondered: How many G-forces did this pilot endure?!

Type 2 Cobra Maneuver. At the moment when the two crossed each other, Liu Jun turned his head to look at the emblem on the alien spacecraft. It was indeed different from Lupa's. It should be some kind of identification, similar to the machine number and string number of human weapons.

At the moment when Liu Jun overtook, he glanced at the Type 2 in the rearview mirror which was recovering its flight attitude, bottomed out the throttle, pulled the lever fully and pulled upward with the flying inertia of the J15T. The airflow appeared again on the canard and wing root of the Flying Shark. At this time, the leading edge winglets protruded, which improved the aerodynamic characteristics of the Flying Shark at large angles of attack, giving it super maneuverability.

The Flying Shark seemed to be making a rotation in the air. The familiar [Maximum Overload] prompt sounded in his ears. Liu Jun pressed the trigger on the joystick, and the electrically activated 30-1 machine gun roared!

The alien aircraft that had just modified the Cobra maneuver suddenly found that the J15T in front of it had moved at some point. The body suddenly pulled up, made a small radius turn in the air, and pointed its nose towards itself. The Type 2 aircraft that had just recovered its posture could not point its nose at the other party at all.

Connect! Connect! Connect!
boom!
In the sky, a large amount of debris was scattered, just like a broken work of art.

Amidst the debris, the shattered life capsule fell toward the sea. Liu Jun had a general understanding of the Type 2 structure, and the cockpit was the area he focused on. Almost all of his 100 machine gun rounds were fired at the opponent's life capsule, and he couldn't let the opponent go!

Sending Type 2 back with the intelligence would increase the difficulty for humans when facing the enemy.

After shooting down the Type 2, Liu Jun maneuvered the aircraft into a dive, hovering in the air. After confirming that the Type 2's lifeboat was completely destroyed, he recovered and flew towards the UAE airspace. [Insufficient fuel]

The AI ​​prompt sounded in his ears, and Liu Jun looked down at the fighter's fuel. After abandoning the auxiliary fuel tank and fighting with the Type 2 for a while, the fuel was not enough for him to fly directly to Saudi Arabia, and he needed to refuel.

At this time, the two F16s that had dived down before cut into Liu Jun's route and formed a formation with him. The F16 pilot turned his head to look at the J15T's fuselage covered with charred skin and the rows of shoot-down symbols under the cockpit. It was indeed an ace with the honorary title!
Liu Jun turned his head and saw that the F16 pilot was also looking at him. This two-plane formation was the F16 formation that had previously escorted the passenger plane. However, since the other party turned back to support him, more support aircraft should have arrived.

Soon, Liu Jun saw the UAE special plane and the eight F8s guarding it. This is also the advantage of a small country. The airspace is relatively small. As long as the direction is correct, the target can always be found.

Liu Jun joined the escort formation and immediately became the most conspicuous one in the entire formation. The black marks on the fuselage were like a soldier's medals.

"Couldn't you have shot it down earlier?"

The F16 pilot seemed to be unable to hold it in any longer and asked his own questions in the communication channel. When Liu Jun was entangled with the Type 2 and biting its tail, there were many opportunities to fire the machine gun, but there was no intention to fire at all, like a cat and mouse. However, he did not think that Liu Jun was playing with the other party.

"I want to understand the enemy." Liu Jun said softly.

How can one understand the enemy? Of course, only when it is struggling desperately can one know what the elite of these "aliens" are thinking, especially how the enemy responds to tail bites in air combat, gain more combat experience, and organize it.

Understanding aliens? The F16 pilot said sincerely: "You are a lunatic!"

"I'm low on fuel."

Liu Jun looked at the F16 pilot and said, "As the world's gas station, these princes should not be stingy, even though only a few countries can produce aviation fuel."

"No problem, come with me!"

When hearing that friends from the East wanted to refuel, the F16 pilot "patted his chest" and assured them that it was just some oil (money), and not filling up the tank would be a disrespect to them, the big customers!
Following the escort formation, whether intentionally or accidentally, Liu Jun circled around the UAE special plane, allowing the princes above to appreciate the "medals" on the J15T and its powerful survivability, making the princes feel that they could do it too!
To an outsider, it’s a natural thing to say, “I can do it too.” Soon, there will be a news report in the UAE saying:
[The UAE Air Force, with the cooperation of pilots from the University of the East, successfully shot down five alien aircraft.]

This! This is the charm of journalism!
