Genius is just the threshold for me!

"Ghost 3, Ghost 4, the biggest threat to the Blue team is the two electronic warfare aircraft. Our Red team has a strong data link, but it can't stop the coordinated interference of the two electronic warfare aircraft."

Before shooting down an electronic warfare aircraft, all communications are conducted in a left-right and up-down orientation to avoid the enemy's electronic warfare aircraft obtaining and analyzing the communication frequency band.

The WZ-8 will go first, and can move at full speed. At an altitude of 4 meters, their missiles cannot reach it. It is the eyes of our battlefield, and we will find the enemy's position first!

Without J-1 fighters, follow at an altitude of 30,000 meters. Once the enemy position is located, fire two Changjian-100 missiles simultaneously to force the enemy's J-16 electronic warfare aircraft to come out and interfere with the missiles. Then, use the non-J-1 fighters to concentrate fire and try to shoot down one or even two of them.

After shooting down one enemy aircraft, the Ghost immediately launched a supersonic attack, quickly breaking through the enemy's air defenses!

Once they reached 220 kilometers, the K-88s launched 14 missiles in a salvo, forcing the enemy to activate their air defense missiles and J-16s to conduct missile jamming...

"Ghost 1, Ghost 2, you are responsible for operating the Ghost and dropping bombs. Don't panic when you encounter missile attacks. Trust our interception system, learn to calculate distance and time, and learn to retain speed margin."

Our interception system has a single-launch response time of 1 to 6 seconds, depending on the angle adjustment. Even with a minimum hit rate of 20% and the maximum adjustment of the aiming angle, as long as there are no more than six missiles coming from a single direction within 36 seconds, we can ignore them and intercept them directly.

If it is a Mach 4 missile, the minimum hit probability can be increased to 60%. As long as more than 15 missiles do not arrive at the same time, there is no need to worry.

If there are more than six missiles in a single direction, then the interception tactics can be followed: accelerate to increase the distance, or change direction to adjust the orientation and prolong the arrival time of the missiles, allowing the lasers to intercept one more round...

At 6:20, Lin Dong used a voice changer to gradually outline the key points of the tactics.

The biggest advantage of turning unmanned combat aerial vehicles such as the J-1 fighter jet and the Hot-Spicy No. 2 into wingmen is that they can obtain information and attitude support from the Ghost drone through the wingman data link.

This allows the system to regain over 90% of its combat power in the dark, whereas it would normally suppress the optical system and cause a significant loss of combat power when entering the night.

But there is an important premise to this.

That means the Ghost's radar cannot be jammed, and the data link between the wingman and the Ghost cannot be blocked.

Because the J-16 electronic warfare aircraft was designed by Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, Lin Dong knew the J-16's performance better than anyone else.

The J-16 can jam the Ghost's radar.

However, even with the same gallium nitride phased array and the A anti-jamming system, while it cannot guarantee detection beyond 50 kilometers under the interference of the J-16, it can guarantee accurate detection within a 50-kilometer range...

The communication data link between the wingman and the Ghost uses the latest phased array communication antenna with directional beam transmission. As long as the communication is not directed at each other, the J-16 will not be detected.

Even if it were discovered, the gallium nitride phased array communication antenna, employing the latest anti-jamming technologies such as spread spectrum, frequency hopping, hybrid spectrum, and adaptive beamforming, would make it difficult for a J-16 electronic warfare aircraft to effectively cut off the communication.

Therefore, the key to winning this exercise is whether or not we can shoot down one or even two J-16 electronic warfare aircraft of the opposing team at the start.

"Ghost received, requesting takeoff and combat deployment!"

Ten minutes later, after Lin Dong finished speaking, the Red Ghost crew responded from the other end of the communication line.

"We can go into battle! Let's finish this quickly!" Lin Dong checked the time, took a deep breath, and agreed to set off, opening the combat simulation system as he spoke.

Di-

A huge battlefield simulation map appeared on a 200-inch screen.

But at this time, apart from the signal point of the Red Ghost, there were also the signal points of eight wingmen, and the entire area was shrouded in darkness.

Suddenly, the signal point representing the Ghost ship activated.

The next moment, the WZ-8 reconnaissance aircraft and two J-1 fighter jets, which were scattered at other military bases on standby, began to taxi under the remote control of the Ghost crew and quickly took off into the sky and flew northwest.

Di-

As soon as the WZ-8 took off, its full-function reconnaissance mode was activated.

The originally dark and foggy training ground began to reveal various terrain features, along with a large number of infrared and wireless spectrum signals.

Rumbling--

After waiting for two minutes, a series of engine roars like a tsunami came from outside the window.

Under the watchful eyes of the entire Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) base, including the residents around Huangtianba, the Red Ghost, which had been idle for a day, took to the sky again with 16 training missiles mounted on its fuselage.

uuɡu. First update, no typos. If you don't see the pinyin suffix in the address input, you can access the first update site.

"Holy crap, it's loaded with ammunition. This is a combat test..."

"He's gone mad! Chengfei has completely gone mad!"

"It's been less than two months since its maiden flight, breaking the J-20 fighter jet's record of passing safe test flights in four months... This is incredible!"

Throughout Huangtianba, the crowd erupted in gasps of disbelief.

Huang Qingyao's home.

Huang Qingyao's family of three, along with Xu Qingling, Su Yue, and Jiang Caiping, were already having dinner.

Suddenly, upon hearing a roaring sound outside, Huang Xinhua's expression shifted, and he unconsciously put down his chopsticks and quickly walked to the balcony.

At that moment, not only him, but many people in the entire residential community went to their balconies or windows.

Everyone's eyes followed the large bomber outside, which was carrying bombs and soaring into the sky, drawing a large arc in the setting sun as it rushed towards the northwest.

"We're finally going to see the sky... Five years after our maiden flight, we're finally going to see the sky!"

Huang Xinhua's eyes trembled slightly, then he happily called out, "Yaoyao, get Daddy a bottle of wine. We'll have a few drinks tonight!"

"Dad, don't you have to go to work tomorrow? And you're drinking tonight..."

Huang Qingyao was chatting with her mother and Xu Qingling when she heard Huang Xinhua's words. She responded but didn't stop him. She put down her chopsticks, went to the wine cabinet, and took out a bottle of ten-year-old Maotai...

Di-

Inside Laboratory No. 78.

Lin Dong carefully observed the real-time changes in combat data when suddenly, several different data points popped up.

"Found it... Deep in the Kumtag Desert, there is no man's land for 300 kilometers around."

Lin Dong clicked the mouse and locked these lines of data.

Just then, the Ghost ship operator's announcement came through the headset.

[Report to base! A WZ-8 reconnaissance aircraft, 2100 kilometers from Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group base, has detected a large area of ​​concentrated infrared signals. Analysis confirms it is an enemy (Blue Force) position...]

"Continue to expand the search with reconnaissance aircraft to confirm that it is the Blue Force's position and avoid misjudgment..."

Lin Dong glanced at the Ghost's location; it hadn't yet left Sichuan and entered the Northwest region. He signaled to continue the search.

[Ghost ship received!]

With the instructions in place, the WZ-8 continued its reconnaissance and search on the screen. Soon, ten minutes later, a new report sounded.

[Report to base! No other suspicious targets detected; this is confirmed to be an enemy position!]

"Lock onto the Blue Team's position, fire both Longsword-100 cruise missiles simultaneously!" This time, Lin Dong did not hesitate and decisively issued the order.

[Ghost received! Repeat instructions: Lock onto Blue Force position, fire two Longsword-100 cruise missiles simultaneously!]

With repeated commands, relevant latitude and longitude coordinates, topographic maps taken by reconnaissance aircraft, and satellite guidance strategies were quickly input.

In less than a minute, the launch command was uploaded to headquarters and passed the exercise system's security review in less than half a second, confirming the area as a non-residential zone...

Sizzle! Sizzle!

The two Longsword-100 simulation missiles suspended below the Red Ghost suddenly ignited, their bodies detaching from their suspension points and transforming into two fiery dragons that spread out to both sides. They then ascended to a cruising altitude of 35,000 meters, initiating a Mach 5 cruise and hurtling towards the Blue Force's position...

[Report to base! Launch successful! Missile launch successful!]

The excited and joyful shouts of the Ghost crew members could be heard through the headsets.

The successful launch of the two missiles signifies that the Red Ghost's most basic bomber function as a missile launch platform has been verified in actual combat.

"Don't get excited... It's not dark in the Northwest yet. While the Blue Force's J-16s are intercepting the missiles, the WZ-8 electronic reconnaissance aircraft will pinpoint their approximate location. Then, we'll use two WZ-1 fighters to shoot them down!"

Lin Dong took a deep breath and carefully conveyed the next operational instructions.

[Received! Repeat order... Shoot down the enemy's J-16!]

"Very good, I look forward to your good news." Lin Dong nodded and turned off the microphone.

In addition to conducting electronic warfare, electronic warfare aircraft also have the fundamental and core functions of jamming and blinding enemy missiles.

Faced with the attack of two Changjian-100 missiles, which can penetrate at Mach 7, a single air defense missile battalion simply cannot effectively intercept them. The Blue Force would have to deploy J-16s even if it didn't use them.

At this point, the gallium nitride electronic reconnaissance module of the WZ-8 reconnaissance aircraft can collect signals from the J-16's electronic jamming and blinding capabilities to determine its approximate location. In addition, since it is not yet dark and the J-1 fighter jet's optical system can still track it, they can attempt to shoot down the enemy.

"Two hundred million, just like that, it's gone..."

When Wang Xingguo saw Lin Dong turn off his microphone, and then looked at the missile signal on the screen cruising at Mach 5 toward the northwest, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.

The Changjian-100 hypersonic cruise missile has a range of 5800 kilometers, cruises at Mach 5, and penetrates enemy defenses at Mach 7. Each of these missiles costs 1 million yuan.

Although it was a simulated missile used in an exercise, it did not have a warhead and could be recovered, its engine replaced, and reused.

However, the engine costs 45% to 70% of the cost of such a hypersonic cruise missile, so even if it can be recovered, it would still be worth less than 1 million yuan.

"National defense construction doesn't come without spending money. Equipment costs money, and to conduct live-fire exercises to determine and improve combat effectiveness, all of these require money. The funds saved from the Red Ghost project are enough for ten such exercises..."

Lin Dong didn't have much of a reaction to this.

Upon seeing the missile signal and entering the 700-kilometer range of the Blue Force's position, he said with a change of expression, "The Long Sword missile is about to be detected by radar."
