Changkong Fighter

Chapter 51: Never Fear! Never Surrender! Fight Bravely! (Edited)
After learning about the alien civilization's decoy methods, Dongda Military Engineers immediately upgraded the missile warhead's yield and lethality. Sentinel's optical decoy has a limited range, but as long as it can cover the projected distance, it can perfectly solve the lethality problem, offering a completely different solution from anti-radiation missiles!

The PL11A seeker only has its favorite sentinels in its eyes, and the planar imaging firmly "remembers" their heat source characteristics.

The servo adjusted the rudder surfaces and rushed straight towards the heat source signal, waiting for the heat source signal to enter the killing radius.

The missile and the Sentinel flying face to face intersected in less than 20 seconds. After the infrared seeker determined that the heat source signal was within the killing range, it detonated the increased warhead.

Two balls of dazzling fire appeared in the sky, and thousands of killing elements enveloped the surroundings. Amidst a sound like breaking glass, the two Sentinels were damaged and lost control, falling towards the sea below. Their speed became faster and faster, and the bodies continued to spin. Eventually, the overload seemed to exceed the body's tolerance. With a bang, they shattered in the air and turned into pieces of "snowflakes" that fell downwards.

"Report to the commander, PL11A destroyed target 2, remaining targets: 3!"

The commander looked at the tail-bitten Red Fox-2 on the screen and scanned the situation map. The other two J15Ts that took off from the Shandong and had been on standby nearby were approaching the battlefield at a speed of 1.2M, but they had not yet launched their missiles.

Because of the electromagnetic clutter of Type 1, it is difficult to contact one's own fighter jets in close contact with it. This is why only Liu Jun was sent on this mission. Losing contact is equivalent to disconnecting the command link, and the situation will change from a whole to fighting alone. Even after a long period of training, there is a tacit understanding between pilots, but it will also affect combat effectiveness and it is easy to cause accidental injuries!

In addition, the IFF identification principle is secondary surveillance radar, referred to as SSR. At close range, the radar is interfered with, causing IFF to fail, just like the American warships shooting down their own aircraft. Problems with IFF are fatal.

Currently, effective anti-radiation missiles are typically not equipped with IFF systems, as their mission is to attack enemy radars, not identify friendly or foe targets. Anti-radiation missiles can only ensure target accuracy through signal signature recognition, database support, and manual intervention. However, if communications are jammed, the missiles' own decisions about who to attack are essentially a lottery.

This is why Liu Jun was assigned tasks to test medium-range missiles. Once the two sides overlapped, they would enter combat within visual range (WVR), launching missiles at the enemy who was fighting with friendly forces at close range. I think the blood pressure of countless pilots shot down by friendly forces on Anton Star must have been high.

"Can the Red Fox-2 shake off the target behind it?" The old leader looked at the situation map through the glass and asked in a deep voice.

A nearby technician pushed up his glasses, took a look at the speeds of both vehicles, and shouted, "Commander! Based on the intelligence we've obtained so far, the Type 1's upper speed limit is Mach 1. It's unclear if that's its maximum speed, but judging by the current intelligence, the Red Fox-2 can disengage."

The old leader nodded without saying anything. This had been predicted during the think tank's assessment.

"If there is any danger, intervene immediately!" the old leader instructed.

"Yes!"

The old leader stared at the four overlapping targets, his brow slightly drooping.

Thousands of miles away
Boom! Thunder exploded in the air, and a sonic boom cloud appeared over the middle section of the J15's fuselage.

Liu Jun reached out and grasped the joystick, and the Flying Shark dived down at a 20-degree angle, staring closely at the rearview mirror in the cockpit. Of course, looking at the rearview mirror was also a training instinct. In his mind, he could clearly "see" the positions of the three Sentinels behind him.

3000 meters away
The distance between the two sides is constantly widening
Maybe it's because the J15 is heavier than the other one? In a dive, the larger mass does have some advantages.

[Height 15000]

[Height 14000]

In a dive, the altitude decreases very quickly, the accumulated energy is converted into speed, and the distance between the two sides continues to widen.

Next, it was time to disengage. He had a hunch that, though his superiors hadn't explicitly stated it, there were definitely friendly forces covering his retreat, ready to rush over if he was in danger. He had no idea where exactly, though. So, did he really have to disengage from the three Sentinels behind him?
Thinking of this, Liu Jun quickly analyzed the battlefield situation. There were only three sentries targeting him at six o'clock. This opportunity was too rare!

Every Sentinel represents flying experience. He just shot down four and damaged one, gaining rewards far beyond his imagination, which is worth all his previous flying experience!

Liu Jun is not sure how the future situation will develop after the emergence of alien civilizations, but what is certain is that alien civilizations will be one of the main enemies of mankind in the future. As a naval aviator, he will continue to deal with them!

The sentinels following behind were also aircraft, and they also used forward-firing weapons to attack. Their flight performance was not completely overwhelming for the J15! In other words, the enemy was not invincible!
Personally, Liu Jun doesn't want to die yet! In order to survive, he must become stronger and need more flying experience!

Yu Gong is a People's Navy aviation soldier. When the generation gap between the two sides is not wide enough to be invincible, his task is to test the performance of the mounted weapons. He has tested all other types of weapons, and the only thing missing is the two PL8B combat missiles on the rack!
However, fighting is not about reckless action. You can't quickly scan your skills and then fight 1 against 3. The most important thing is situational awareness. On the battlefield, the bullet that can kill you is often not the one you see!
I started to quickly add points to the flight experience I gained. After upgrading my situational awareness to the next level, I evenly distributed the remaining experience to other skills!

【Eyesight Training Level: 1.0】

Situational Awareness Level: 1.5

[Overload tolerance LV: 2.5]

[Physical Enhancement Level: 1.5]

[Life Amplification Level: 1.0]

The moment he added the skill, Liu Jun opened the speed brake and retracted the throttle valve through the hands-on control system without having time to feel the changes in his body.

[Speedbrakes on. Speedbrakes on.]

As the AI ​​girl's electronic prompt sounded, the speed brake on the back of the aircraft opened, and the speed of the J15 in the dive state dropped sharply. The Sentinel, which was originally far away behind it, suddenly closed in, and the distance between the two sides was constantly shortening.

This change was immediately noticed by the KJ-3000 which was monitoring the situation.

"Report to the commander! The Red Fox-2's dive speed has slowed down!"

The technician monitoring the airspace shouted, and the commander frowned. "What happened? Mechanical failure?"

"I don't know!"

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer, the commander planned to send the J15T on standby to rescue. But at this moment, the battlefield changed and a ball of fire broke out behind the J15.

"what happens!"

Not only the commander, but also the old leader in the rear command center stood up from his seat and stared at the big screen.
