The factory director has a new skill every day, which has broken down the strategic deception bureau

at this time.

The stratospheric airspace at an altitude of 20,000 meters.

The silent cruise posture of the three F-35A stealth fighters was completely broken, and the range detection radar in the cockpit was flashing wildly, with urgent range warning sounds rising and falling.

The wingman's voice was filled with extreme panic and anxiety: "Major Kane! Four enemy fighters are rapidly approaching, only fifteen kilometers away!"

"If we don't activate our airborne radar soon, we'll be completely on the defensive!"

The other wingman panicked: "Major! We have to start the engine!"

"The rule of the game in stealth fighters has always been: lock on first, win first!"

"In a state of silence, we are blind. Once enemy aircraft get close and lock onto us, we are completely unable to fight back!"

The core logic of the fifth-generation stealth fighter's confrontation has never been close-range dogfighting, but rather the radar's first lock-on advantage.

Stealth fighters rely on low detectability to evade enemy detection; whoever breaks through the stealth barrier first and locks onto the enemy target first will prevail.

Whoever gains the upper hand in beyond-visual-range strikes will be in a position of absolute dominance, and the side that is locked on will be tantamount to being defeated in advance, with no room for counterattack.

Major Kane, leading the team, clung to a desperate hope, gritting his teeth and shouting, "Wait...wait a little longer! Don't turn it on!"

Having spent decades working on the front lines of overseas air combat, he is acutely aware of the perilous rules of cross-border infiltration: "Once we proactively activate the AN/APG-81 active phased array radar, the radar waves will instantly expose all our coordinates, trajectory, and frequency band information, causing us to lose our stealth advantage!"

"This is China's near-shore airspace. The four Mighty Dragons have already formed an encirclement. Exposing our position will only lead to us being completely surrounded and trapped, leaving us with no chance of escape!"

At this moment, the three F-35As hovered in the airspace like ostriches, not daring to make a sound or probe.

They could only passively evade, attempting to slip through by relying on the aircraft's extreme stealth capabilities.

But they were completely unaware of their every move, flight path, and formation posture.

It had already been precisely locked onto and its data uploaded in real time by a civilian ground radar.

At the same time.

Four J-20 Mighty Dragon fighter jets approached the target airspace at full speed, with their active phased array airborne radars activated at full power.

Thousands of radar detection units operate synchronously, with beams performing precise scans of the entire airspace.

This top-tier domestically produced radar possesses capabilities for ultra-long-range detection, anti-jamming, and stealth target acquisition.

It can filter airspace clutter and strip away the echoes of stealth coatings.

Specifically optimized for the low detectability characteristics of fifth-generation stealth fighters, its detection accuracy, lock-on speed, and anti-jamming capabilities completely outclass the F-35A's airborne radar system.

With the help of the electro-optical detection system and infrared tracking module carried by the fighter jets, the Mighty Dragon formation can complete the full-domain screening autonomously without relying on ground radar guidance.

In just three seconds, it penetrated the F-35A's stealth camouflage and accurately detected the light spots of three hidden enemy aircraft.

"Report: Three stealth targets locked 18 kilometers to the southwest! Confirmed to be foreign enemy aircraft!"

"Quickly... full-scale tactical pressure! Spread out and block all escape routes!"

"yes!"

The four Dragon aircraft instantly changed formation, splitting into two groups and flanking from the left and right, displaying supersonic maneuverability at full speed.

They blocked the F-35A's retreat, evasion, and breakout routes from both high and low altitudes.

Inside the F-35A lead aircraft's cockpit, the ultimate intrusion warning suddenly blared, and red warning lights flashed wildly.

"Damn it! We've been locked onto by enemy airborne radar!"

Kane's face turned deathly pale, and he could no longer maintain his composure. He roared, "Quick! Activate the AN/APG-81 radar for everyone!"

"Unlock weapon attachments and prepare for battle!"

The three silent F-35As instantly activated their onboard radars, their previously stealthy fuselages now fully releasing radar signals.

The moment it is powered on, it completely loses its stealth advantage.

All flight parameters and coordinates are displayed on the Dragon's detection screen.

……

at the same time.

Our Mighty Dragon formation issued an official bilingual airspace warning: "Unidentified foreign military aircraft have illegally entered our airspace, suspected of illegal intrusion and airspace provocation!"

"Immediately cease all flight operations, halt the intrusion, and immediately turn away from our airspace!"

"Repeat, then leave immediately!"

"Otherwise, we will take coercive measures in accordance with the law!"

The cold, hard official warnings echoed back and forth, putting extreme psychological pressure on the American pilots.

"Captain! What do we do?! We're surrounded!"

Kane: "All crew, afterburner, supersonic speed, extreme maneuvering to break free! Dive, change course, low-altitude weave, break free of lock-on!"

In an instant.

The entire near-shore airspace witnessed a peak chase between top-tier fifth-generation fighter jets.

The performance gap between the two world's top stealth fighters has been completely exposed.

The F-35A has a maximum speed of Mach 1.6. Due to its single-engine power and bulky aerodynamic layout, it has weak supersonic maneuverability, and its drag increases dramatically during high-speed flight, resulting in a very low upper limit for maneuver overload.

At high speeds, it is clumsy when changing direction and has a rigid trajectory; its maximum maneuverability overload is only 9G.

Our Mighty Dragon is equipped with twin high-thrust vectoring engines, and its maximum flight speed can reach Mach 2.8, far exceeding that of the F-35A.

It adopts a classic aerodynamic layout with canards and leading-edge extensions, maximizing its low-altitude and high-speed maneuverability. Even at maximum speed, it can still perform highly difficult maneuvers such as instantaneous changes of direction, roll avoidance, and high-altitude dives.

With a maximum overload capacity of 10G, it is agile and swift throughout the entire process without any sluggishness.

During the chase, the three F-35As pushed their limits and frequently changed their maneuvering trajectories.

It frantically swooped down, changed direction, and weaved through enemy lines to escape, attempting to break free from the Dragon's radar lock and close pursuit.

No matter how much it pulled or tried to evade, it was always firmly held by the tail of the dragon behind it, and the locked beam never stopped. It was impossible to shake off or escape.

The F-35A's AN/APG-81 radar has a detection range of approximately 180 kilometers, limited anti-jamming capabilities, and insufficient accuracy in detecting extremely stealthy targets.

The domestically produced new-generation active phased array radar equipped on the Weilong has a detection range of over 250 kilometers, with a narrower beam, higher precision, and maximum anti-interference capability.

It possesses the absolute advantage of being the first to detect, lock onto, and strike, steadily suppressing the radar signal of the F-35A throughout the entire process.

Every maneuver and change of direction by the US warplanes is captured and accurately predicted in real time by the Mighty Dragon radar, making the encirclement and suppression situation increasingly obvious.

The three F-35As were completely surrounded and in dire straits.

……

at this time.

Inside the Guanlan Air Force Air Defense Command Hall.

Gao Zhenshan stared intently at the full-range radar screen, watching the intense chase and maneuver in the airspace: "I never imagined it was the US's current main fifth-generation fighter, the F-35A, the most advanced export stealth fighter from overseas, with stealth, maneuverability, and avionics systems all at the world's top level!"

A technical advisor beside him, his face tense, asked in a low voice, "General, what... what are our chances of winning?"

Gao Zhenshan said in a cautious and solemn tone: "The two fighter jets have different roles and each has its own shortcomings and advantages."

"The F-35A excels in its high level of avionics integration, comprehensive ground and sea attack capabilities, stable low-altitude and low-speed maneuverability, and suitability for multi-scenario operations."

"However, its shortcomings are extremely obvious: insufficient single-engine power, low top speed, poor supersonic maneuverability, and weak air superiority capability."

"Our Mighty Dragon is a pure air superiority heavy stealth fighter, with powerful twin engines, supersonic speed, unparalleled supersonic maneuverability, longer radar detection range, and higher lock-on accuracy."

"Air superiority combat, close-range interception, and beyond-visual-range engagements completely overwhelm the F-35A!"

"The only weakness is its slightly weaker ground attack redundancy, but today's airspace interception and standoff was entirely the Dragon's home turf!"

"However, the enemy's three-aircraft formation operates in close coordination, with excellent teamwork and seasoned tactics. A forced dogfight could easily lead to unforeseen circumstances, so we cannot afford to be careless!"

……

at this time.

Inside the live stream room.

Millions of netizens watched as white dots of light crisscrossed and raced across the radar screen.

Everyone's heart was in their throats, and the tension was palpable.

[My God! This is truly a clash of the best fifth-generation fighters! It's so exciting!]

[How fast can the enemy plane run? Their extreme maneuvering and kiting are nerve-wracking to watch!]

Fortunately, our Veyron's speed is overwhelming; we simply couldn't shake them off!

[This is so worrying! The enemy planes keep escaping. Can't we lock them off completely?]

[Help, streamer! Your high-tech radar is amazing, can you give it another push?!]

[Yeah, streamer! We just locked onto the stealth fighter; we can definitely suppress it further! Act quickly!]

[The streamer requests to participate...]

Countless netizens across the internet are sending their messages, eagerly anticipating that Lin Tian's civilian cutting-edge technology can once again create miracles and help our fighter jets completely control the battle.

Lin Tian watched the back-and-forth, stalemate-like chase unfold on the screen.

Simple radar lock-on is no longer sufficient to suppress fleeing enemy aircraft. To completely lock onto the enemy and cut off all escape possibilities, the core functions of the equipment must be utilized.

Lin Tian took a deep breath, no longer hesitated, and decisively pressed the core function button on the control panel labeled "Intelligent Biological Spectrum Bird Repellent"!
