215 Discovering alien fighter formation

This time, the one who cooperated with Chen Fei and the others to carry out the cruise mission was the KJV 500.

This is the new equipment that Zhang Yunlong and Zhao Gang approved for them after many applications.

It's just been delivered to the base for a few days.

The KJV 500 is a product of China Electronics Technology Group, one of China's largest defense enterprises. It is an early warning control machine developed based on the Shaanxi Aircraft-9 medium-sized turboprop transporter.

The radar system of the aircraft uses an electronically scanned phased array radar, so the radar cover will not rotate like the KJ-2000. Because the inside of the KJ-500's radar cover is installed in the radar cover in a triangular arrangement by multiple active electronic scanning array radars, and electronic scanning replaces mechanical rotation to provide a 360-degree scanning range without dead angles.

Compared with the radar of the KJ-500 developed by China Electric Technology, the KJ-2000 radar is smaller and lighter. However, the Y-9 medium-sized transport aircraft powered by turboprop engines is much less flight time and flight distance than the KJ-2000, which uses a large Russian Il-76 transport aircraft to carry the radar. The continuous flight time of the KJ-500 refuels is about 5 hours.

So what Zhang Yunlong actually wants is a more advanced early warning aircraft, which is the legendary Y20 platform. Based on Y20, it is developed based on the Y20 radar. Unfortunately, that kind of early warning aircraft is still pitifully few, and it is not the Pingchuan base yet, so Zhang Yunlong had to accept this 500 airplane.

After Chen Fei and the others flew forward for about twenty minutes, the sound of the early warning aircraft suddenly sounded: "Yaodongyao, the UFO was found at 329, a batch of three aircraft, two hundred and forty kilometers away from you. Now, order you to go forward immediately to reconnaissance, find out the situation, and it's over!"

"Yaodongyao understood that UFOs were found at 329, with a batch of three aircraft, with a distance of 240 kilometers. Immediately go forward to detect the situation and it's over!"

Chen Fei replied, and then received the route sent by the early warning plane.

The four of them turned and flew towards the 329th direction.

After flying forward for a while, Li Zailong asked, "Yaodong, do you want to turn on the fire control radar!"

"No need for the time being. The Yellow River will follow us. When we reach the right distance, we will conduct photoelectric detection first, and it will be completed!"

"clear!"

The four fighter jets increased their speed together and flew towards the target at a speed of 900 kilometers per hour.

During this period, the second route was relatively calm, and the previous large-scale invasion was temporarily alleviated, but no one dared to be careless. Neither Pingchuan base nor any base relaxed his vigilance. On the contrary, everyone's nerves were tense than before, because relevant evidence showed that a larger-scale and more tragic air battle was likely to come.

Chen Fei speculated that the country where he entered the airspace before might have defeated the enemy's attack and temporarily gained a breathing opportunity. Taking this opportunity, they will seize the time to invade the earth and strive to obtain control of a base as soon as possible. In this way, when a crisis occurs later, they will have room for maneuver.

Of course, these are Chen Fei's random guesses. He didn't know whether it was true or not.

The airspace they were going to at this time was far away from their Pingchuan base, and it was difficult to take care of it before. Recently, because the superior sent the latest early warning aircraft, the airspace 500, to join in, so they could monitor the area. However, because there was only one early warning aircraft, it required police patrols for the airspace with a radius of nearly a thousand kilometers, so it was still very difficult and many places could not take care of it.

After flying forward for a while, the early warning plane reported the latest situation again, and Chen Fei ordered: "Open photoelectric detection! Complete!"

"I understand, turn on photoelectric detection!" everyone answered.

The photoelectric detection systems of the four fighter jets were opened one after another and the target airspace was scanned in partitions. Soon, the scan results were displayed on the multi-function display screen through the data link. Chen Fei looked at it and it was a three-machine formation. After identification through the early warning aircraft's enemy-to-me recognition, the three targets were temporarily set to red enemy aircraft.

"Yidong, keep the course, approach from the side and back, approach low altitude, do not turn on the fire control radar. I will monitor other directions, and it's over." Someone in the early warning plane said.

"I understand, low altitude, approach from the side and back, and don't turn on the radar!" Chen Fei replied.

Four fighter jets pressed their poles together and dived towards the mountains below. When the fighter jets sank into the canyon in the middle of the mountains, they were all changed. Fortunately, this section of the valley is relatively wide, so it is also possible for four fighter jets to fly side by side.

Four fighter jets approached quickly from low altitude and chased after the butts of the three alien fighters.

The reason for doing this is because both the early warning aircraft and Chen Fei think that these three alien fighters may have other companions. In other words, they are likely to be just feinting attacks, because when the early warning aircraft is tracking them, they should also receive the radar wave speed of the early warning aircraft. So they want to test us to see if there will be any reaction here, whether to send fighters over or just watch from a distance, so their attack aircraft may hide in a corner and wait to see the next development.

Using front-line tactical aircraft to cover attack aircraft is a common method used by the Air Force. They like to do this, both ancient and modern, and in China and abroad.

"Yaodongyao, what do you think the targets of these three alien fighter jets will be?" Li Zailong's voice sounded in the channel.

"I don't know, there are no airports, surface-to-air missile positions in this area, and no urban agglomerations, so I don't know what they are going to do in this area." Chen Fei answered truthfully.

In the past, once alien fighter jets came out of the space tunnel, they usually went straight to the southern urban agglomeration, either Pingchuan military base in the south or another base in the north. Anyway, the purpose was very clear, either bombing the city, attacking air force bases, or ground missile forces. However, this time, their route was a bit weird, not facing south or north, but facing west, but as far as Chen Fei knew, there was nothing in that area.

However, the intention of alien fighter jets is also wary, because although the area where Pingchuan base and the military base in the north are difficult to reach, it will also be managed, but because it is too far away, it is difficult to conduct real monitoring. Moreover, the area is higher and the terrain is more complex.

"Will they be detecting ground radar troops?" someone suddenly said.

This is also possible. They flew past that area, and if there was ground radar or the Army's surface-to-air missile positions just turned on, they could just measure the locations of these positions in order to collect data on future attacks.

However, Chen Fei had a vague feeling in his heart that the other party seemed not that simple.

"Is there a new space tunnel there?" Chen Fei frowned, but soon he denied this idea, which was unlikely.
