Chapter 350
350 can't see it
If this operation is successful, the key is speed and the connection between various links. First, J-20 quickly penetrates, making full use of its speed and stealth advantages, and lightning inserts into the air defense airspace of Heilong Fort, first killing the early warning aircraft cruising in the air, and annihilation of all the alien fighter jets cruising above.
After that, the bomber entered and dropped a large amount of ammunition on the key targets of Heilong Fort, destroyed the runway, knocked down the ground-to-air early warning radar, and flattened the ground-to-ground guide troops. Of course, some ground air defense targets also require the participation of J-20, such as some anti-aircraft artillery units. After clearing these targets, the bomber returned to the field, the J-20 brigade dispersed and escorted from a distance. The J-16 J-16 fighter fighter brigade seamlessly connects, quickly enters, and quickly clears the ground targets. The attack targets of the Eagle Falcon Brigade include armored clusters, underground fortresses, alien infantry bases, etc.
After Chen Fei contacted the early warning aircraft, he began to fly towards the target airspace as directed by the early warning aircraft.
The key to this mission is speed, so the altitude cannot be too low, and this time with the escort of the J-20th Battalion, there is no need to fly too low.
While flying, Chen Fei turned on the left-most part of the multi-function display, which was displayed with the weapon mounting system.
Their J-16 display is exactly the same as the F35 and J-20. They are both large-screen multi-function LCD displays. Even in direct sunlight, they can be seen clearly. The display can be divided into six separate areas, and each area can display different content. Of course, there is no regulation on which one displays what. It depends entirely on the pilot's habits and Chen Fei's habits. The left side is the weapon mounting and the right side is the radar.
He first looked at the weapon mount system. The twelve mount points were full, and each mount point was normal. In this mission, in addition to carrying some precisely guided ammunition, they also brought some ordinary aviation bombs. To be honest, if this round of ammunition was thrown down, millions of dollars were gone, and the consumption was not ordinary, and it really hurts a little.
In this way, the most luxurious thing in the world is the aviation corps. Once the plane is opened, the fuel consumption is a few tons or tons. A lot of money is gone. Just throw a guided ammunition, hundreds of thousands or even millions are gone. What's more, every time they dispatch, they need dozens or even hundreds of personnel and equipment to cooperate, which will cost a lot of money. Even the richest man in the world dare not spend so much money!
After about fifteen minutes of flying, the sound of the early warning plane came: "Hawk, correct the course 255 and enter the next navigation point."
"I understand, correct the course 255." Chen Fei replied, and afterwards, he adjusted the route.
Their flight routes have been formulated before this mission, but the air situation is changing at any time. On the battlefield, the situation has changed, so the routes must be adjusted appropriately. At this time, their flight routes are slightly different from before.
Chen Fei estimated that an alien early warning plane had appeared near the original route, so he had to get out a little to avoid it.
The warning range of early warning aircraft is very powerful. Ordinary fighter jets can detect more than 100 kilometers of airborne radars. Early warning aircraft is much more powerful and can detect 405 kilometers, but that's all. They can do nothing at a distance farther. To be honest, in the air, the distance of four or five hundred kilometers really doesn't count.
The twenty-six fighter bombers of the Eagle Falcon Brigade were flying in the air like a human-shaped word. Their speed was faster and slower, but they had the final say. When to fly, what altitude should be used, they were commanded by early warning aircraft. The early warning aircraft should be adjusted in time according to the situation of the J-20 brigade in front. Only when the J-20 brigade cleaned the airspace in front, they could enter. Otherwise, their J-16 would be just a living target in the air.
Chen Fei looked at the radar alarm from time to time.
His onboard active phased array radar was not turned on, but the early warning aircraft transmitted the results through data links and displayed on the multi-function display.
In fact, when there is danger, radar alarms will make alarm sounds, so many pilots generally do not look at alarms. However, Chen Fei has developed the habit of watching from time to time. The pilots of the Eagle Falcon Brigade have also developed this habit. Because there are many dangers, the system may think that it is not a danger, but experienced pilots can judge the danger based on a small number of clues and avoid it in advance. Therefore, Chen Fei asked that the pilots of the Eagle Falcon Brigade should not rely too much on the fighter system, but should look at the data, use their brains, think more, and summarize more.
Chen Fei looked down at the radar alarm, which was quiet and did not threaten.
He breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the navigation map, and was about to enter the next navigation point.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, he pressed the joystick to the left and kicked the rudder at the same time. The fighter then turned sideways, ninety degrees on the left, then turned about fifty degrees and flew towards the next navigation point.
When he turned sideways, the other fighter planes also turned sideways. From the distant air, their formation was like a herringbone formation flying sideways, which was very beautiful.
Just after the turn, the sound of the early warning aircraft came: "There are four alien fighters taking off in the direction of Kador. Now they don't understand their course yet, so lower the altitude to 1,000 meters first and avoid it temporarily!"
"I understand, lower the altitude to 1,000 meters!" Chen Fei replied. Afterwards, he pressed the pole and the J-16 fighter jet suddenly dived towards the ground at an angle of 45 degrees.
When they flew to an altitude of one thousand meters, they hid on this side of a rolling mountain, and the alien plane formation was on the other side of the mountain. In this case, even if the alien planes turned on the onboard radar to scan the airspace on this side, they could not see anything.
The early warning plane is farther away, and the onboard radar of the alien plane is naturally invisible.
After lowering the altitude for a while, the early warning aircraft said again: "Hawk, the sharp knife is in the direction of three o'clock, and the distance is twenty kilometers. So, reduce the speed, and the speed is 500 per hour."
"The speed is 500 km/h per hour, the falcon understands!"
Chen Fei recycled the accelerator rod.
I don’t know what happened before, but the J-20th Battalion was much slower, so they also had to slow down.
After reducing the speed, Chen Fei raised his head and looked at the direction of three o'clock. The distance of twenty kilometers was sunny now, and he should be able to see that his eyesight was very good, at the level of hawkeye.
He looked up and looked over there.
Um?
He was stunned.
Why can't you see anything?
Oh, get it, low visual painting!
Chen Fei suddenly remembered.
In fact, the paint of early fighter jets in my country's Air Force was very simple, with a white fuselage with a red military emblem and tactical number. The color contrast was very clear and could be identified from afar in the air. This painting was mainly for training safety, and it also allowed the pilot to quickly identify the enemy and us during combat. However, the paint was too bright and allowed the opponent to observe our fighter jets from a distance.
In fact, the paint of each type of fighter is not done casually, and it has a deep meaning. The paint on the fighter mainly has six major functions:
First, the truth is revealed. Painting is essentially an optical stealth technology, which integrates the aircraft with the background, making it difficult for the enemy to discover and identify. For example, the F-22, the J-20, and the J-16, which tests the newly painted J-16. In order to improve the aircraft's concealment ability and adaptability in different active areas, the paint of fighter jets has now gradually developed from monochrome to multicolor, and changes the color according to the characteristics of the region and airspace. Carrier-based aircraft that fight at sea are generally mainly light gray, light blue and white, just like the camouflage uniforms of army soldiers.
The second is to adapt to aircraft types of tasks. Air superiority fighters require close combat capabilities, so they mostly use two light gray deformation coatings on the upper and lower surfaces. When interceptors fly at high altitudes, due to the strong light scattering on the fuselage, in order to reduce the contrast with the background, they usually use dark gray monochrome coatings. Attack aircraft are responsible for low-altitude attack tasks and mostly use paints with similar colors to the ground.
The third is to ensure high visibility. Training, rescue and test aircraft require obvious color difference and high contrast with the background. Search and rescue aircraft usually use high visibility orange and white, and trainers generally use white fuselage, red underside, and red wingtips to allow instructors to clearly observe the flight situation.
Fourth, eliminate visual fatigue. Factors such as color, brightness and time are important factors that cause visual fatigue for pilots. In order to eliminate or reduce visual fatigue for pilots, there is a poor reflectivity painted on the front of the cockpit, and good light absorption prevents dazzling colors, generally black or dark gray.
The fifth is sun protection. Strong sunlight irradiation increases the temperature inside the aircraft, which is not conducive to aircraft maintenance and operation. Therefore, the relevant military regulations of the US military include white and gray in the sun protection color of the aircraft.
Sixth, promote military power. Military aircraft are often sprayed with marks, patterns, pilot names and the number of enemy aircraft shot down to increase the morale of combatants, such as the tiger shark painted on P-40 during World War II.
At this time, all fighter jets at Sanjiang base used low visualization coatings.
The rapid development of contemporary technology has led to the vast majority of future air combat scenarios outside the visual range, but this does not mean that close combat will not occur. Instead, the danger of close combat will increase.
The new generation of fighter jets such as the F-35 and my country's J-20 are equipped with distributed optical aperture systems. Pilots can search targets within dozens of kilometers without turning on the radar. With the head-mounted display system, the pilot can even directly lock the target and guide the missile to attack the target, so it is very likely that the opponent's pilot will be hit without receiving the incoming missile alarm. The removal of the low-visual coating of the dazzling logo can reduce the chance of the fighter being discovered in the air to a certain extent, even if it is very small.
Chen Fei had not carefully studied the low visualization painting of our army before. Now, at first glance, he really couldn't see anything. His vision was very good, but he still couldn't see anything.
He glared his eyes wide and carefully identified for a while before he saw the J-20a Flight Team hidden in the sky!
