Chapter 1511 Focusing on the U.S. Tanker Again
Above the altitude where the Lightning refueling fleet flew at high speed, the Super MiG No. 1 aircraft driven by Cai Ruichen was approaching at high speed.
To deal with these lightning tankers, Natasha did not follow, but went to monitor the lightning fleet.
The current Lightning refueling machine is not attached to any weapons and equipment at all, and the invisible magazines are also empty.
And on the external hanging point, there are not only two refueling pods, but also an auxiliary fuel tank hanging on the tandem pylon in the middle.
For such an aircraft, only the cannon has the attack power. For Cai Ruichen, let alone the Lightning fighters without missiles, even the twelve Lightning fighters all carry sufficient missiles. As long as they are flying stealth fighters, even It is an enhanced version of the Black Hawk fighter, and he dares to face these twelve Lightning fighters alone.
The actual combat capability of weapons and equipment depends not only on the level of the entire fighter, but most importantly on the ability of the fighter pilot and their performance in battle.
The value of an ace pilot cannot be measured by the value of any fighter jet. Even elite pilots are far more expensive than the fighter jet itself.
Cai Ruichen himself has more than 1,000 hours of flying experience in fighter jets, and he has practiced with the ace of the Red Police Corps countless times in the simulated air combat training ground. He even often drives a virtual super MiG with Boris. contest.
Cai Ruichen can exert its limit performance on every aircraft owned by the Red Police Corps at the moment. As long as it is not overloaded beyond 20G, he will not have any influence, and he can still perfectly control the aircraft and lock the target.
Even with five or six members of the Golden Knights flying the same type of fighter jet, Cai Ruichen can still destroy each other.
Facing the Lightning fighter jet, Cai Ruichen didn't feel any pressure at all, not to mention that the fighter jet he was driving was the crystallization of the pinnacle technology of the combat aircraft of the Red Police Base, even the sixth-generation fighter jets being developed by various superpowers. In front of MiG, there is no resistance at all.
Using Super MiGs to bully Lightning fighters is a bit like using stealth fighters to bully those non-stealth fighters. Even the opponent's level has not yet reached the third-generation fighters, and at most they are second-and-a-half-generation fighters.
Using stealth fighters to deal with second-and-a-half-generation fighters is simply a one-sided rhythm. As long as there are enough weapons, it can almost be said that as many come and die.
It's just that the Super MiG is not invincible, and it will be destroyed if it encounters an attack.
Cai Ruichen is confident that he can block bullets with his body,
But it couldn't stop the explosion, nor could it stop the fate of falling from a high altitude and being crushed to death.
However, even if it can attack and destroy the Super MiG fighter, the above safety escape system and protection measures for the cockpit can ensure the safety of the driver at the first time.
After all, the pilots of the Super MiG are either Cai Ruichen or Boris and Natasha. In any case, safety must be ensured first, otherwise, the actual combat value of the Super MiG will be halved.
It can only be said that it is God's favor that such a super fighter that disrupts the balance of air combat can appear so quickly.
Once Boris is drawn, the Super MiG will already appear on the stage. If Boris is obtained in the later stage of development, the Super MiG will not appear until then.
The Super MiG is one of Cai Ruichen's trump cards in his ambition to challenge the United States. When it is really necessary, the Super MiG is the trump card to turn the tide of the battle.
It's just that the navy's failure still caught Cai Ruichen a little off guard. If possible, Cai Ruichen would be more willing to use the Super MiG from the beginning to the end.
But there was no way around it. The stealth fighter jets carried on the USS Ford aircraft carrier still caused heavy damage to the Red Police Navy as he had feared. At this time, the Super MiG could only make an appearance.
In the cockpit of the Super MiG, it seems that the entire cockpit does not exist at all. Through the closed cockpit, you can clearly see everything outside. .
Seeing the twelve black dots below and the twelve clear signals on the radar from a distance, Cai Ruichen's mouth curled up and he zoomed in on the screen.
As he drew closer, the fuselages of twelve Lightning fighter jets gradually appeared in his eyes. At this time, the twelve Lightning fighter planes were fully 20,000 meters away from the Super MiG.
At this moment, the twelve Lightning tankers were flying above the clouds, maintaining a speed close to 1,250 kilometers.
This is infinitely close to the level of supersonic speed, but in fact, at an altitude of 10,000 meters, such a speed has completely exceeded the speed of sound.
Sound relies on medium to propagate, so there is no sound in a vacuum, and the speed of sound will increase by 0.6 meters per second for every degree Celsius increase in temperature
Internationally, the speed of sound is normally 340 meters per second at a constant bit. In fact, when fighter jets fly at supersonic speeds, because of the relationship between flight altitude, air density and temperature, the limit of supersonic speed is different, and it needs to reach supersonic speed. The power output and fuel consumption of the speed of sound are also quite different.
This is why all airliners fly at an altitude of 10,000 meters. At such an altitude, the fuel consumption of the aircraft will be greatly reduced.
But none of this has anything to do with Cai Ruichen, since he has already found the target, there is nothing to be polite about.
It's just that he didn't plan to do anything here, but followed these Lightning fighters far away. He wanted to wait until the Lightning fighters saw that hope was in front of them, and then completely smashed the opponent's hope.
Another purpose of this move is to make it impossible for the desperate Lightning fleet to see hope again.
When the two sides are about to meet, Cai Ruichen believes that the Lightning fighter at that time can only keep a little fuel, and when preparing to refuel in the air, control the height and speed of the fighter, and more can only use the wings to glide moved on.
By that time, even if there is a fleet of large tankers 10,000 meters away, it will be too late.
Therefore, Cai Ruichen was not in a hurry at all, but turned on the electronic warfare system, monitored the communication of the Lightning tanker, and at the same time, with Natasha, determined the distance between the two sides and judged the remaining fuel of the other party.
The pilots on the plane, especially the pilots of the US military, are chattering, which is normal, after all, this kind of flight is really too boring.
After listening for almost an hour, I have not heard any valuable intelligence. It was all discussions and chats among each other, and nothing related to the next actions of the US Navy. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
