Chapter 1740 Apollo Fighter First Battle

Over the waters of the Indonesian Indian Ocean, only twelve F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jets of the Indonesian Air Force are conducting patrol and security tasks in batches.

When the war broke out suddenly, the Indonesian Air Force immediately ordered all air forces to prepare for the war.

In fact, Indonesia has been paying attention to the position of the aircraft carrier battle group in the Middle East these days. All the fighter jets on alert have also launched live ammunition. Compared with Indonesia’s neighbor, the Philippines, the strength of the Indonesian Air Force is not bad in the nearby area. , and third-generation fighter jets.

But compared to all countries in the world, a country that relies entirely on second-generation fighter jets such as Phantom fighter jets as its main force is already at the bottom of the third world countries.

When the news of the outbreak of the war reached the Indonesian National Army, an invisible panic had spread among the Indonesian National Army.

As a country that has not broken out in war since World War II, a sudden modernization war is really too unprepared.

Even ten days ago, all the soldiers of the Indonesian National Army could not have imagined that the war would break out in just a few days.

There is nothing wrong with the saying of raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, but it does not apply to all armies in the world. For those countries that have almost no external disputes, the long-term peace is not much different from putting swords and guns in Kuma and releasing Nanshan.

Indonesia's annual defense expenditures are very tight, and apart from rigid expenditures, there are few drills for enhanced training or actual combat training.

Similar to these days, in order to be vigilant against the Middle East Federation, fighter jets carry live ammunition into the air on a large scale, which is rare in decades. Even the flying time of every Indonesian Air Force pilot rarely exceeds 100 hours. Fuel and aircraft wear and tear can cost a lot.

At this moment, for every Indonesian fighter pilot staying in the sky, they hope that the time will pass faster, and then they will return to land at the airport and stay comfortably on the ground.

The radar station on the ground kept sending news that the carrier-based aircraft of the Middle East Federation may come over at any time on the Indian Ocean, which is only a thousand kilometers away from the Indonesian mainland Java Island.

However, no matter how they looked at the radar on the screen in front of them, nothing was found.

This result not only reassures all the Indonesian fighter pilots, but also makes them more worried. The reason is very simple. The Middle East Federation is also a country with stealth fighters, although it has always been very low-key.

But it was this kind of low-key that caused headaches for all opponents.

In particular, the new equipment of the First Fleet of the Middle East Federal Guard Navy is completely different from the previous equipment system. The whole world is 100% unfamiliar with these equipment.

In fact, most of the equipment among countries has mutual understanding, and there are few secrets that can be truly guarded, especially combat aircraft. A new combat aircraft has been attracting attention since its research and development.

From the successful development and test flight to the service stage, it will always attract the attention of the outside world, so a lot of information can be obtained through long-term observation.

But the weapons and equipment of the Middle East Federation are completely different. Before a brand new combat equipment comes out, there is almost no testing stage, and the outside world cannot understand the latest weapons and equipment research plans, or even the concept of future weapon and equipment development.

This is the most uncomfortable place for the outside world. Even the fighter jets don’t need to take a test flight. When they appear, they just join the active duty. With such a sudden method, no one knows whether there will be new equipment from the Middle East Federation to join the army tomorrow .

The unknown is the scariest thing, and the information that the outside world can learn about the weapons and equipment that have joined the Middle East Federal Guard is quite limited, and it can even be said that they are almost in a state of ignorance.

Not to mention Indonesia, even the United States can hardly understand the technical performance and advanced level of the new weapons and equipment of the Middle East Federal Guard.

Only after the performance on the battlefield can we infer the level of the weapon and equipment in combination with the actual combat effectiveness.

But often when you understand your opponent, I'm afraid it's after paying a heavy price.

Just 100 kilometers away from the airspace patrolled by Indonesian Air Force fighter jets, two Apollo fighter jets were rapidly approaching the Indonesian airspace.

The overall model is close to a triangular Apollo fighter jet, with an extremely elegant shape. The flat body seems to be specially stretched. There is no vertical tail layout, which looks very simple.

The slightly upturned nose looks like the bow of a ship. Under the invisible cut surface, the overall shape gives people a feeling of comfort.

As for the position of the tail nozzle, there is no flame at all. On the two flat fish mouth nozzles, there are only blue light spots all over, as if they are two LED lights, without any heat.

The slender body is incomparably harmonious, and the light gray paint seems to be integrated with the sky. Only the slightly golden paint on the edge reveals the accurate outline of the fuselage at close range.

Apollo Fighter: The Air Force's top all-air fighter, a fighter born for air combat, it has only one combat mission - to obtain absolute air supremacy, with its existence, the sky will no longer be peaceful. The elegant streamlined body brings excellent stealth capabilities. Four invisible magazines can carry up to 18 missiles. The Getter cannon system located on the nose of the aircraft gives the fighter more powerful firepower in the sky.

Construction cost - 8.8 million base funds, construction time - three days.

Stealth data: double-engine multivariate vector fish mouth-shaped ramjet engine ensures great stability, anti-smoke and anti-rust titanium brushed mixed carbon fiber stealth shell, perfect full body angle stealth design and full radar spectrum stealth paint perfect integration One.

Fuselage data: fuselage length is 20 meters, wingspan is 24 meters, width of folded wings is 14 meters, height is 4.5 meters, empty weight is 13 tons, maximum take-off weight is 60 tons, and the farthest combat radius 2,200 kilometers, economical cruising speed of Mach 0.99, supersonic cruising speed of Mach 1.8, maximum ceiling of 50,000 meters, maximum speed of Mach 6...

Armament system: Stealthy 30mm Getter cannon system (with 500 rounds of ammunition), four stealthy magazines with a total limit of 30 tons of ammunition, which can carry all the equipment under the Red Police Air Force weapon system, The operating system integrated into the base system, the intelligent auxiliary comprehensive system...

Special Note: The Apollo fighter with multiple optional configurations is also a very good carrier-based aircraft. The instantaneous explosive afterburner allows the fighter to return to the base or aircraft carrier at three times the speed of sound in an instant. , the fighter system with advanced automation design can reduce many complicated operations for the pilot, and can fully realize automatic voice (one-key) attack and voice (one-key) evasion.

Its appearance is enough to establish the reputation of the strongest hunter in the sky...

The Apollo fighter, a super fighter with all-weather and all-environment combat capabilities, is not equipped with ultra-era laser weapons, but with the stealth capability of the whole body and full spectrum, it is enough to become the most powerful active fighter in the world so far.

It is not an exaggeration to call it a super fighter. This is a model that can adapt to any combat mission and demand, and can meet the different combat needs of the navy, land and air forces.

According to Cai Ruichen's inner rating, the Apollo fighter is enough to be placed in the five-and-a-half-generation fighter team.

The reason why it is not a sixth-generation fighter is that the Apollo fighter still lacks super-era offensive weapons. If it can be equipped with laser weapons, it can be called a sixth-generation fighter.

It is called a fifth-generation and a half fighter because it has some requirements of the sixth-generation fighter.

Among them, the full-body and full-spectrum stealth capabilities are just one of the basic requirements of the sixth-generation fighter jets. At present, the fifth-generation fighter jets in the world can only achieve the stealth capabilities of the front half of the fuselage, and radar stealth cannot detect all fighters. The wavelength of the radar is perfect for stealth.

But the sixth-generation fighter jet is completely different. It can guarantee that every angle of the fuselage can still maintain stealth performance in any wavelength of radar detection.

This is the basic data requirement for a new generation of fighter jets in the new era given by various countries. The countries that are currently developing the sixth generation fighter jets are all big countries, let alone small countries. Qian's new weapon development.

In Cai Ruichen's eyes, Apollo is worthy of the name, and he doesn't want to put Apollo in the ranks of the sixth-generation fighter jets. After all, it is too high, and it will hurt even more when it falls down.

However, the outside world is not clear that a new air weapon platform with all-round performance that exceeds modern fifth-generation fighter jets has begun to enter the Middle East Federal Guard on a large scale.

The Middle East Federal Guard will also become the world's first active army equipped with stealth fighter jets.

For the Apollo fighter jets, the Indonesian Air Force is not even an opponent.

While the Doppler radar on the Indonesian fighter was still struggling to search for the enemy plane, when the distance between the two sides was 120 kilometers, the radar on the Apollo fighter had already found the Indonesian fighter.

And within the distance of 300 kilometers, the Prophet early warning aircraft in the rear has been tracking all Indonesian air vehicles in real time.

Having an Apollo fighter jet capable of attacking at a distance of 100 kilometers does not mean launching missiles.

In the words of the pilots of the two Apollo fighter jets, if you use missiles to attack such an opponent, you don't think highly of each other.

What's more, in the eyes of the fighter division of the Red Police Corps, the value of these Indonesian fighter jets may not even be worth a missile.

In the case of supersonic flight, the two Apollo fighter jets have approached the four Indonesian F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jets within 20 kilometers of each other.

At this distance, it's fine if the radar doesn't respond. After all, the stealth capability of the Apollo fighter jets is placed there, but even the pilot's eyes can't see it.

You must know that in the sky, a distance of 20 kilometers is already within the visual distance. With the visual distance of the pilot, the target can almost be seen.

However, in the eyes of these Indonesian pilots, they were completely unaware of the two Apollo fighter jets approaching the front and top.

Moreover, the four Indonesian pilots were all looking around nervously, but they didn't find any of them.

On the other hand, the fighter divisions on the two Apollo fighter jets have clearly seen the four F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jets in the airspace not far away.

It's not that all the Indonesian fighter pilots are blind, even if they are replaced by other fighter pilots, it's the same.

At this distance, it is indeed possible to visually see the opposite fighter, but the paint on the fuselage of the Apollo fighter is very soy sauce.

The light gray painted surface, and a layer of light color-changing modules, can slightly change some of its color patches under the refraction of sunlight. As long as it is facing the sun, it can achieve simple visual deception.

This technology has been used by the Soviet Air Force as early as the Soviet period, but the effect is so-so.

Now that the base has taken out this technology, it has been proved that it has reached a practical level.

It wasn't until the two sides were close to only five kilometers that the Indonesian fighter pilots were horrified to find that the Apollo fighter jets had come overhead.

The battle alarm went off in an instant, but the two Apollo fighter jets occupying high positions had already rushed directly from an altitude of 12,000 meters to the F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jet at an altitude of only 8,000 meters.

When the Indonesian fighter pilots were all anxious to turn on the radar to aim at the Apollo fighter, all the radar screens were covered with snowflakes, and there was a piercing sound from the communication channel in the ear. In the middle of the communication, the radar system like water off a duck's back.

Unable to aim and launch missiles, when these scrambling Indonesian pilots finally thought of using machine guns for close combat, the Apollo fighter jets had already come before their eyes.

The moment the fire hatch of the stealth-style Gaiter gun was opened, dense bullets fell like a torrential rain. In just a short moment, the entire sky was covered by bullets.

Under the close barrage launched by two Apollo fighter jets, two F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jets slammed into the barrage before they could react. The 30mm bullets mercilessly tore open the f The body of the -16 Fighting Falcon, the two Indonesian pilots, disintegrated in the sky with the plane before they could even escape.

The other two F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jets on the side hurriedly drew an arc in fright, trying to escape here at full speed.

The remaining two didn't even see their opponents clearly, their eyes were full of fear, and they hurriedly tried to escape.

However, the speed of the two Apollo fighter jets was even faster, and they directly broke through the sound barrier with a short acceleration. The two Indonesian Fighting Falcons that had just made a large-angle U-turn were bitten before they even had time to accelerate. It turned into two groups of flames in the sky.
