Chapter 677 - Charge

If you don't want to be killed, don't try to unseat the ace.

Once a war begins, the best tactics are as simple as possible and never give the opponent any chance.

"I choose a!"

The Dragon Knight did not hesitate to choose a point-to-point attack with the opponent.

A's tactics are all about treating the other person in his own way.

For Lin Mo, detours are certainly safer, but there are also more variables.

The opponent's current flying speed is as high as Mach 2.6, and when flying head-on, the distance between the two sides shortens at a speed equal to the superposition of the speeds of both fighters.

If the charge speed of X-1 and "Little Cutie" is Mach 2, then the distance between the two sides is approaching at a high speed of Mach 4.6. For both sides, the relative speed is no less than that of extremely advanced air-to-air missiles.

If you put aside the suddenness and secrecy, the risks of hedging are almost equal. If you are unlucky, it is possible for four fighter jets to collide head-on and die together.

However, if the other party cannot react in time, it is very likely that they will steal the chicken but lose the rice. Instead, they may be caught off guard by Lin Mo and the "raccoon".

"Okay, let's do it!"

"Raccoon" felt that he had underestimated this young Chinese pilot. In this kind of battle where he might be ambushed, he actually dared to use his plan and launch a counter-attack tactic.

I'm afraid it's not an exaggeration to describe a skilled person as bold.

"Speed ​​is Mach 2.2! 'Raccoon', is your 'cute' okay?"

Lin Mo set a flight parameter and sent an inquiry via radio to the "raccoon" in the right rear wingman position of the X-1.

No one will easily tell others the true performance parameters of their own fighter jets, unless they are pilots affiliated with the same department in their country, or even temporary teammates in this kind of "Abyss Nirvana" competition, even if they are close friends in life and death.

Aerial combat skills have no national origin, but aerial knights do.

No pilot will easily tell this kind of national secret to anyone else, not even relatives or bedfellows.

"Raccoon" looked at X-1 in the long seat and replied: "Mach 2.2. No pressure!"

The two sides revealed information to each other that the cruise speed of their respective fighter jets can reach Mach 2.2.

"Countdown to afterburner! Three, two, one! Start!"

Lin Mo pushed the throttle slightly without outputting too much fuel supply. The X-1 forward-swept wing fighter, which had supersonic cruise performance, shook slightly. Outside the cockpit, a white condensed sonic boom cloud appeared for a moment, surrounding the aircraft and instantly fading back.

The "Raccoon" can also easily use afterburner to accelerate the "little cutie" to above the speed of sound just like Lin Mo, and it can firmly follow the power output of the X-1 forward-swept wing fighter to increase the curvature.

The "cute", which resembles the F-117 "Nighthawk", has obviously put a lot of effort into its aerodynamic layout for supersonic performance.

Perhaps inspired by the progress of the Chinese aviation industry in aerodynamic layout, Canadian sponsors used the F-117 with excellent stealth performance as a prototype and made bold improvements to the aerodynamic layout targeting its weaknesses, improving air combat performance and enabling The "Raccoon" vehicle "Little Cutie" has been improved into an air superiority high-speed stealth fighter.

"The distance is 150 kilometers. The opponent's speed is Mach 2.7!"

"The distance is 100 kilometers, the opponent's speed is Mach 2.6!"

"The distance is 60 kilometers, the opponent's speed is Mach 2.9!"

The radar screen in the cockpit of "Little Cutie" was still empty, with no signal at all. "Raccoon" could only rely on Lin Mo to continuously update the opponent's speed through radio updates.

Lin Mo would not deceive himself. He concentrated all his attention on controlling the fighter jet, activating the air-to-air combat missiles, and preparing for the upcoming battle during the countdown.

The closer the opponent gets to the air combat airspace near Damascus. The speed became even more astonishing, and the performance of the two combat aircraft was very unexpected.

The speed displayed by the MiG 1.44 directly exceeded its originally disclosed parameters, reaching Mach 2.9. This makes the "Raccoon" secretly worried. When a fighter jet reaches Mach 2, every increase in Mach 0.1 of the ultimate speed is a challenge to the fighter's engine output and aerodynamic design.

"Raccoon" did not let others know that the maximum speed of his car could only barely reach Mach 2.8. The 0.1 Mach gap meant that in the pursuit battle with the MiG 1.44, "Raccoon" was likely to be at a disadvantage.

The possibility of a novice among the ace pilots in the mid-level group is almost non-existent, especially for high-performance fighter jets such as the MiG 1.44, and Russia will not assign an ordinary pilot to it.

Which fighter test pilot of any country is not an experienced real ace in air combat, let alone a participant in the "Abyss Nirvana" competition. Ordinary military pilots are simply not allowed to participate in such death events.

That flying saucer, which was as maneuverable as conventional combat and had omnidirectional attack capabilities, could also reach the same speed of Mach 2.9, which really scared the "raccoon".

If it were an ordinary pilot, he would probably pee on the spot.

Fortunately, the more maneuverable X-1 forward-swept wing fighter took over the most difficult flying saucer.

Regarding the extraordinary performance of the MiG 1.44, the "Raccoon" could only hope that Lin Mo could finish off his opponent as soon as possible and come over to support him. The mid-level group is full of dangers, and "Raccoon" once again experiences the feeling of walking on thin ice.

"See them! Fire!"

"Raccoon" shouted, and Lin Mo immediately launched short-range air-to-air combat missiles at the target that suddenly appeared within sight.

This is the advantage of being prepared but not prepared. The two participating fighter jets from the government camp launched the magic of star-shifting and unceremoniously pre-empted the attack.

The four fighter jets were almost on the same level. Both sides saw each other at the same time and launched a desperate charge towards each other without hesitation.

A small light spot appeared on the radar screens of the X-1 and "Little Cutie" almost at the same time. It was the shadow of the MiG 1.44. Its radar reflection cross section of 0.5 square meters was the weakest among the four fighters they faced. .

What makes people even more chilled is that the stealth aerodynamic design of the flying saucer is indeed as legendary, with zero reflection. There is still no reaction on the radar screens of Lin Mo and "Raccoon".

With an air visual distance of more than ten kilometers, the two sides approached at a high speed of Mach 5.1 and arrived in an instant.

It is impossible to avoid, and there is no chance to avoid.

When the battle begins, no one can give in.

Launching a missile at such supersonic speed is not only a test for the missile, but also a test for the fighter launch mechanism.

If you are a little careless, it is very likely to destroy the dynamic balance of the fighter jet in an instant, causing a very terrible mid-air disintegration.

Both the X-1 and "Little Cutie" use built-in bomb bays, and their launch status also takes into account the extreme supersonic launch status.

The on-board computer activated a special launch mechanism controlled by specific usage, and forced the missile out of the bomb bay. The combat missile erupted with bright tail flames and shot straight out the moment it exited the cabin.

The weapons manufacturer of the "Abyss Nirvana" organizer also considered the extreme state of supersonic launch in advance, and also considered launching in this special high-speed state at the beginning of the design.

The two lines of white smoke only left a 6-kilometer-long trail, and the combat aircraft of both sides left only four shadows crisscrossing in the sky.

Boom boom!~

Two fireballs exploded in the air.

Lin Mo and "Raccoon" didn't look very good. They missed all their first salvos.

The perfect maneuverability of the flying saucer was just a slight deviation. While avoiding the missiles that were already approaching, it also gently and deftly sent several bright red infrared jamming bombs to the air-to-air at close range that the fool didn't know how to dodge. Missile front.

As you can imagine, the pilot of the flying saucer "Bie Longcai" achieved 11 kills by no means in vain.

Russian fighter jets have always been the models with the best maneuverability in the world. Both the Su and the MiG have clearly inherited this feature, and the MiG 1.44 is not inferior. Although it lost the opportunity to launch a counterattack, it turned sideways with extreme speed. It is still possible to avoid dangerous distances. The detonated fireball was only detonated less than 20 meters away from the tail of the aircraft.

Although the distance was extremely close, the powerful tail jet formed an endless stream of high-temperature and high-speed airflow barrier at the tail of the aircraft, pushing away the explosion shock wave and shrapnel.

Just like knights in ancient times, the four fighter jets passed each other at lightning speed. The pilots on both sides could feel the violent vibrations in their bodies caused by the violent gas turbulence at the moment of their crossing.

In the first round, no one took advantage.

"Turn sharply! Prepare to retaliate!"

"Raccoon" forgot everything else and roared over the radio.

Whoever turns around faster will get faster acceleration. This is the only law of energy combat skills. The Canadian Air Force's air combat body heritage is the same as that of the United States Air Force. There is no difference.

Turning is an important performance indicator that tests the aerodynamic design of a fighter jet and the overload endurance of the airframe and pilot.

The X-1 forward-swept wing fighter pulled out an astonishing four speed brakes, and the speed suddenly dropped. At the same time, it deflected the fuselage, as if drifting, and turned the nose of the aircraft on the spot, and beside it, the "raccoon" However, the car directly turned off one of the engines, and used the center of gravity and non-center axis unilateral afterburner to achieve an amazing ultra-small radius turn through engine output and aerodynamic force.

Light microscopy assists cannon locking.

The two sides were not very far apart. As soon as Lin Mo turned around, his finger pressed the cannon launch button.

"'Balor'! Let's give them something awesome to try together!"

The pilot of the flying saucer, "Belonca", yelled angrily on the radio channel.
