Chapter 620 Close-In Weapon System on Board
Ten thousand meters above the sky of Tevi City!
Dozens of fighter planes from the Squid Kingdom are rushing here.
Because the Luanfeng Aerospace Strategic Bomber bombed the major airports in the Squid Kingdom by launching missiles, which caused heavy losses to the fighter planes of the Squid Kingdom.
So although the Squid Kingdom has hundreds of fighter planes, they are either destroyed at the airport or cannot take off because of the lack of time and the airport runway cannot be repaired.
The dozens of fighter planes flying over now are all maintained by the Squid Kingdom ground staff, who replenished fuel and ammunition, and repaired the airport runway at the fastest speed, allowing them to take off urgently to Tevi City for support.
Although the Squid Kingdom is just a small place, they have the support of the United States, and the strength of the air force is very good.
For example, the dozens of fighter planes that came to Tevi City for support, in addition to the classic F-15 and F-16 fighters, there are also F-35 fighters, the fifth-generation aircraft of the United States.
These fighters were in pairs, and the commander was Colonel Grae from the Yutai Kingdom. He was reporting to the command center in the rear.
"Report, the fighter formation has arrived near the airspace of Tevi City. We are searching for enemy fighters. The radar has not found anything yet. Please input the information of the ground radar to help find the enemy's traces."
Grae frowned at the empty radar warning receiver while speaking on the radio.
Its function is to detect the radar signals of enemy fighters and remind the pilots of the enemy's attack, so that the pilots can prepare for the air battle and deal with the enemy calmly.
But now they have arrived in the airspace around Tevi City, but still have not found any traces of the enemy, which makes Grae very puzzled.
He was driving an F-35A fighter. Although it was only a weakened export model of the United States, it was an advanced fifth-generation aircraft worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Its AN/APG-81 air search radar can detect up to 150 kilometers.
If the enemy plane is still nearby, then it should be found anyway, unless
Gray's face changed slightly, and he quickly gave an order on the radio: "Everyone pay attention, the enemy planes of the Jeko Group are likely to have stealth capabilities. Everyone will spread out and widen the search airspace. Report immediately when you find the target."
Gray didn't know that the enemy he was looking for was at an altitude of 50,000 meters.
"Report, there are a total of 36 fighters. Captain, please assign mission targets."
On a Luanfeng aerospace strategic bomber, Sang Hong listened to the report on the radio. He was the captain of the bomber squadron.
"Assign the predetermined attack targets, radar lock, and prepare for air-to-air missile launch."
Sang Hong's expression was calm, without any fear, and he quickly arranged everyone's respective attack targets.
Normally, there are only two ways for bombers to crash or escape when facing fighters. The two sides are natural enemies.
No bomber is willing to encounter fighters during the mission, which will put them in danger.
But Sang Hong didn't have this idea, because he was driving the highest masterpiece of the Jeko Group in the field of aircraft, the Luanfeng aerospace strategic bomber.
Other bombers are afraid of encountering fighters, but the Luanfeng aerospace strategic bomber does not have to follow this theorem.
For example, now, the powerful stealth performance of the Luanfeng aerospace strategic bomber allows them to completely disappear under the noses of the squid Taiguo fighter.
Modern warfare is fought with information intelligence. I can see you, but you can't see me. You can imagine how big this advantage is.
"Report to the captain, I am Ice Cream. I have locked the enemy aircraft with radar and the enemy aircraft's position"
"I am Ice Cube, and I am ready for battle."
"I am Red Panda, and I am ready for battle."
"I am Stupid Pigeon."
Hearing the voices coming from the radio communication, Sang Hong looked at the traces of the enemy aircraft searched by the biological radar, and then issued an order.
"Everyone, fire air-to-air missiles. Let's tell these squid space forces that the sky here belongs to our Jake Eagles. They are not the pheasants who can get involved. Knock them all off the sky."
After saying this, Sang Hong pressed the missile launch button, and the belly of the Luanfeng aerospace strategic bomber under his seat opened. Five air-to-air missiles were ignited and launched one after another, flying towards the fighter planes of the squid Tai country.
The ample load capacity allows the Luanfeng aerospace strategic bomber to be equipped with many self-defense weapons in addition to bombing.
These air-to-air missiles are a kind of self-defense weapon, which is something you can't see on other bombers.
Well, as long as the enemy aircraft is destroyed, then you will be safe, so air-to-air missiles are also self-defense weapons.
The other seven Luanfeng aerospace strategic bombers did the same, launching air-to-air missiles one by one and rushing towards their selected targets.
A full 40 air-to-air missiles were launched, and the Luanfeng aerospace strategic bomber carried out the first round of strikes.
"Warning! Warning! Warning! The fighter plane is locked by a missile, take evasive measures immediately."
A piercing voice came, and the F35 fighter piloted by Graehe suddenly issued a continuous high-frequency alarm sound, and the radar screen flashed red, showing the arrow mark of the incoming missile.
"When, where is the enemy?"
Graehe was shocked, he didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, but the enemy's missiles had already opened fire.
Obviously, he was driving the most advanced fifth-generation stealth fighter, why was the situation reversed, and now he became blind and deaf, looking for the enemy in the vast airspace, and being shot as a target by the enemy aircraft.
"No, I'm locked by a missile."
"Damn it, I'm locked by a missile too, two of them."
"Ahhhh! Asshole! What the hell is going on? Where is the enemy?"
"Stop talking nonsense, make an emergency evasion!"
The pilots' screams of fear came from the radio. This kind of beyond-visual-range air combat has always been a case of the strong bullying the weak.
For example, in the past, their country of Yutai relied on the advanced aircraft purchased from the United States to tease their opponents. Now the situation has changed, and it is their turn to be sanctioned.
The speed of air-to-air missiles is much faster than that of fighter jets. Generally, when a fighter jet opens the combustion chamber for afterburner, its speed is only twice the speed of sound, but the launch speed of air-to-air missiles can reach six times the speed of sound.
The pilots of Yutai tried their best to fly the aircraft to perform various evasive actions, evading the incoming missiles by maneuvering and launching infrared jamming bombs.
But in modern wars, once a fighter jet is locked by a missile, the mortality rate is too high.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Fireworks rained down from the sky. One after another, the fighter planes of the Squid Kingdom were hit by air-to-air missiles, exploding with huge flames, turning into fireworks in the sky, which were particularly bright and deadly.
Some fighter planes were hit by the fragments of the explosion of air-to-air missiles, emitting billowing black smoke, and fell headfirst to the ground, returning to the embrace of Mother Earth. The fuel and ammunition in the fuselage exploded violently, exploding deep pits on the ground.
Graehe was lucky. He avoided the attack of an air-to-air missile. The infrared jammer deceived the air-to-air missile and successfully allowed him to avoid danger.
In the process, he saw with his own eyes that an F16 fighter plane of the Squid Kingdom was hit by an air-to-air missile. The pilot did not have time to eject the seat to escape, and was buried in the sky with the fighter plane that disintegrated in the air.
In just one round of missile attacks, more than half of the fighter planes in Graehe's fighter team were lost and shot down by air-to-air missiles.
Beep! Beep beep!
Suddenly, Graehe suddenly saw that the signal fluctuation appeared on the radar screen of the fighter plane.
His eyes widened. Because he had just avoided the air-to-air missile, he kept raising the fighter jet. At this time, it had reached an altitude of 18,000 meters. This altitude was already the practical ceiling of the F35 fighter he was driving.
But on his radar screen, the approximate position of the enemy plane was displayed. It was at an altitude of 50,000 meters, a height that was difficult for the fighter he was driving to reach.
"What a joke, it's actually above 50,000 meters."
Graehe felt that his worldview was about to collapse. What kind of black technology did the Jeko Group come up with to actually create a fighter with a combat ceiling of more than 50,000 meters.
But the radar would not deceive him, even if the airborne radar only vaguely sensed the position of the unknown fighter.
"Everyone, the enemy is at an altitude of 50,000 meters. They are a stealth fighter. Our radar cannot accurately lock the opponent at this altitude. Continue to take off with me."
Graehe gritted his teeth and drove the F35 fighter jet fiercely, rushing towards the enemy plane searched by the airborne radar, constantly closing the distance so that the radar can lock more accurately.
As the distance got closer, his F35 fighter jet flew higher and higher, reaching more than 20,000 meters, and was still rising.
This has exceeded the practical ceiling of the F35 fighter jet. If it continues to rise, the fighter jet is likely to malfunction or even disintegrate.
Graehe also felt the fuselage trembling, and the fuselage control became more and more unstable.
Finally, his radar illuminated and successfully locked the unknown enemy aircraft.
Missile launch!!!
Without much hesitation, Graehe hurriedly launched two air-to-air missiles, and then hurriedly drove the fighter jet to descend in altitude, fearing that if he stayed any longer, his fighter jet would collapse.
The air-to-air missile ignited in the air and rushed towards the Luanfeng aerospace strategic bomber.
"Warning, missiles are coming, two in number."
Sang Hong looked at the signal displayed on the screen, remained calm in the face of danger, and gave orders to the two co-pilot pilots.
"Infrared jammers ready!"
"Start the close-in defense system!"
"Turn on the maximum speed."
The Luanfeng aerospace strategic bomber piloted by Sang Hong flapped its wings rapidly, and dozens of pairs of thin wings flapped at full speed, allowing this huge bomber to run at an ultra-high speed of 2.3 Mach.
In addition, at the belly of the Luanfeng aerospace strategic bomber, the fuselage opened and slowly raised a close-in defense gun.
This is a 20-barrel 30mm close-in defense gun with a maximum firing rate of 20,000 rounds per minute.
If someone saw it, I'm afraid their eyes would be wide open.
Some people are so crazy that they moved the close-in defense guns used on naval warships onto airplanes.
But the Luanfeng aerospace strategic bomber really did it.
The Luanfeng bomber, which uses spiritual biological batteries, can provide sufficient energy for the motor of the close-in defense gun. The huge fuselage and load capacity can also easily fit the close-in defense gun system, making it the national shield of the Luanfeng aerospace bomber.
Zizi!
The Luanfeng close-in defense gun rotated and aimed at the incoming missiles. The muzzle rotated rapidly, a large number of shells were thrown, and the dense 30mm machine guns were like a steel storm, which blew up the two incoming air-to-air missiles three kilometers away.
The same scene appeared on several Luanfeng bombers.
Even if the Squid Space Force fought to the death, they could not do anything about these steel behemoths flying above 50,000 meters.
The counterattack of the Luanfeng aerospace strategic bomber came soon, and the second round of air-to-air missiles was launched.
Under this round of air-to-air missile attacks by the Luanfeng strategic bomber, all the fighter planes of the Squid Tai Kingdom were cleared.
This time, Graehe was not so lucky, and his fighter plane was directly blown up.
He launched the ejection seat just before the explosion, but the shrapnel from the explosion and disintegration of the fighter plane cut off his legs. In addition, he was at an altitude of 10,000 meters, hanging a parachute, and had no way to stop the bleeding. He could only watch the broken legs bleed uncontrollably and scream in pain.
The flow of a large amount of blood soon made Graehe's eyes black.
Suddenly, a huge black shadow seemed to appear in front of him.
It was a terrifying aircraft with a round shape, more than 100 meters long, and dozens of pairs of wings.
"This is the plane of the Jeko Group, a monster, a monster!"
Graehe looked at the Luanfeng strategic bomber that lowered its altitude to meet the genetic warriors after solving the air threat, and there was only one last thought in his mind.
What kind of monster fighter plane did the Jeko Group create!
But Graeme was doomed to fail to guess. He had bled to death and was already dead. His body was carried by the parachute and drifted in the wind. No one knew where it would be taken. (End of this chapter)
