Chapter 197 Beating
"Report to the commander! The Pakistani Spider Squadron has engaged a Type 2 cluster. Damage assessment is underway for the programmed fuel-air explosive bomb."

The commander looked at the big screen and saw that the explosion clouds that could be seen from satellites were like erasers, erasing a large area of ​​alien civilization type 1.

Conventional missiles can only cause point-to-point damage, and there are so many Type 1 missiles, so humans must of course change their thinking and go straight for AOE.

The fuel-air bomb can be called a sub-nuclear weapon, and naturally has its advantages. It can cause large-scale damage after the explosion, and is very useful against rigid drones like Type 1.

You can intercept type 1 along the interception line, or wait for the opponent to fire a laser and ignite the fuel-air explosive yourself to deal group damage and clean up the soldiers. It will not cause pollution like nuclear weapons, but the air at high altitude is relatively thin, and the power is far less than that at low altitude where the air is dense.

After clearing out two-thirds of the Type 1s, the Spider Squadron began firing alternate melee rounds to further reduce the number of enemies before making contact.

Swish!Swish!Swish!
Half of the Spider Squadron's combat ejections flew head-on towards the incoming Type 1, while the Xiaolong quickly changed its course after launching the missile, increasing the distance between the two sides and preventing the fighter from entering the range of the Type 1's pulse laser.

Another round of missiles was launched, and Type 1 was cut off again.

Then several climbing JF-17s spread anti-beam aerosols in the air to cover their teammates.

Liu Jun quietly watched the performance of the Spider Squadron from high in the sky. These Type 1s were dangerous, but they were not a big threat either. It was simply a competition of which Type 1s and missiles were more numerous and which cost more. It became a "quality war."

The competition between the two sides is about production capacity, industry, resources and social allocation, etc. This is not his concern. His task is to kill the Type 1 in the remaining Type 2 cluster below.

brush!
A beam of laser pierced through the gap of the Type 1 cluster. After passing through the aerosol spread by the Spider Squadron, the energy it carried quickly depleted and the light faded. The Pakistani pilot who was locked by the Type 2 also reacted quickly and rolled in the air.

Oh!

A reddish cutting mark appeared on the fuselage of the JF-17, and then the half-melted skin was quickly cooled by the airflow generated by the high-speed flying of the fuselage. However, this JF of the Spider Team also lost the ability to continue fighting, and quickly performed an S-shaped maneuver, leaving the battlefield, leaving a long trail of black smoke behind it.

Liu Jun looked at the exposed Type 2, pressed the bank, and adjusted the nose angle. The moment the PL11A's flat thermal imaging seeker captured it, the aircraft suddenly rolled to one side.

Swish!
Several pulse lasers almost brushed the edge of Liu Jun's J11D body, and the second Type 2 slowly appeared from the air and rushed towards Liu Jun with great momentum.

Liu Jun looked at the two Type 2s equipped with "rapid-fire cannons" in the rearview mirror, and then looked at the remaining 2 JF-11s of the Spider Squadron. The other side had not yet entered into a dogfight. The second wave of infrared ejected, but the Type 2 was too threatening to the Spider Squadron.

The Type 2 behind him is biting his ass, and if the Type 2 below cooperates with the remaining Type 1 to eliminate the Spider Squadron, he will face the possibility of being attacked from both sides.

Which fight first?
While thinking, Liu Jun looked at the Type 2 that was suppressing the Spider Squadron with lasers from a distance. The dynamic launch envelope covered the Type 2, and the preheated PL11A was launched, a completely off-axis launch.

Swoosh! The rocket motor propelled the missile free from its pylons, and the PL-11A flew forward several dozen meters, curving toward the Type 2. The J-11D then performed a defensive barrel roll in the air, combined with a no-g evasive maneuver. The J-11D swerved left and right in the air, continuously firing jammers, creating a dense defensive zone behind it. The pulse lasers fired by the J-11D missed the J-D completely.

The J11D's wingtips were pulling white lines, like pulling ribbons, constantly dancing in the air. Liu Jun felt that any movement he wanted to make would be immediately fed back by the J11D under him, with several aerodynamic surfaces interacting with each other.

Flexible! Very flexible!
Liu Jun felt that this J11D was much more flexible than the J15T. Although it is also heavy and has no canards, it is very light. As an air superiority aircraft, its maneuverability is much better than the multi-purpose J15T.

He rolled the barrel, pulled the lever, and returned to the center, paying attention to whether the PL11A he fired would hit the unprepared Type 2. Then Liu Jun found that he had overthought and the missile was intercepted by Type 2.

With a Type 2 following behind, you can only wait for the next window in the dogfight to launch an attack.

Liu Jun ran with the Type 2 behind him like walking a dog. He could feel that the Type 2 behind him was very anxious and wanted to shoot him down. The pulse laser cannon was continuously firing at him, and the J11D was pulled sideways at an angle, making it impossible for the Type 2 to keep up with his maneuvers and the nose of the aircraft could not point at the Flanker.

Taking advantage of the brief period of safety, Liu Jun turned his head to look at the battlefield. The Spider Squadron was still fighting with the enemy.

wrong!

After turning a circle with the Type 2 car that was tailing him, Liu Jun suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked at the speedometer and saw that it had dropped to 960 km/h. However, his temples were still throbbing, and the amplitude of the throbbing was getting stronger and stronger. Where did this sense of threat come from?

The Type 2 behind him? He was outside the attack envelope of his laser weapon, so it was impossible for him to be hit. In the center of the battlefield, another Type 2 was being held back by the Spider Squadron.

So - there are hidden enemies?

No, his situational awareness didn't detect the presence of hidden enemies around him, or even further away?
If this is the case, in order to stabilize the situation and seize the angle, the speed of J11D has been reduced to 850, and the head aiming can be immediately pointed at the opponent, and the PL10 can be fired off-axis to elbow the opponent!
However, if he continues to seek angles, his speed will be further reduced. A fighter without speed will be a target!
Unable to go around anymore, Liu Jun decisively gave up the Type 2 that was right in front of him. When he was halfway through the turn, the aircraft rolled 90° and pulled the stick to dive downward. If he wanted to recover energy quickly, he could only rely on a dive, exchanging altitude for speed.

The plane performed an S-shaped maneuver and dived downward. The indicated speed increased rapidly and returned to over 1000 rpm.

Suddenly, an electric current passed through his eyebrows. Liu Jun twisted the lever, and a scarlet laser shot out from the lower part at 5 o'clock. This laser beam was thicker than any other!

Liu Jun glanced over and saw a Type 2 that looked larger than the other Type 2s aiming at him from a distance. After the laser shot into the air, it went invisible again and disappeared into the air.

At this moment, the Type 2 who had been stabilizing the situation with him just now chased after him, its surface constantly flashing, as if conveying some information.
