Chapter 340 The ‘enemy plane’ is just twenty kilometers away
The heavy snow that fell a few days ago was heavy enough.
Even though the sun has come out today, it is starting to melt.
But the earth is still completely white.
The two T-8 trainer aircraft painted in blue and white are like two flexible swifts, one on the left and one on the right, galloping in the sky.
It flew about two hundred kilometers.
Liang Zhenghong's voice suddenly sounded in the communication channel, "'Donkey of Guizhou' and 'Tiger with Wings', you are less than 30 kilometers away from the enemy plane, and the enemy plane has already rushed towards you. Be alert and launch an attack without asking for instructions."
"'Donkey of Guizhou' received."
"'Tiger with Wings' received.".
< br>Jiang Chen and Zhang Yong responded immediately, one after the other.
Finished answering.
Zhang Yong complained, "Damn, this isn't fair."
Jiang Chen frowned slightly, "What's unfair?"
"Senior year The senior brother is flying the JJ-7, and the nose of the JJ-7 is equipped with Range-finding radar, so people actually already know our specific location, but we only have the flight control system. We can only rely on sight to detect the enemy plane. Now we don’t know where the enemy plane is. The enemy is hidden and we are there. Ming, do you think it’s fair?” Zhang Yong said angrily.
But he didn’t really want to complain.
But I want to use this method to relieve the tension in my heart.
Yes.
The JJ-7 has an airborne radar.
But it is not a more advanced fire control radar, but a ranging radar.
The biggest difference between fire control radar and ranging radar is that the former can not only search and discover 'enemy aircraft', but can also lock on and assist in attacks, that is, guide air-to-air missiles to strike targets.
Therefore, generally fighter aircraft equipped with fire control radar have beyond-visual-range combat capabilities.
But ranging radar is different.
It can only detect and discover targets, and has no auxiliary attack function.
But this is pretty good.
Because there are more than ten models of "Qi Ye", the previous models of the J-7E simply did not even have a ranging radar. Like the Jiao-8, they only had a flight control system.
Therefore, the old model J-7 can only operate with the cooperation of ground radar.
Otherwise we can only deliver food.
But ranging radar can only discover and search for targets, and then obtain the relative distance to the target.
As for other aspects, we can only rely on ground radar assistance.
Search to the ground?
No!
Fire control locked?
Sorry.
This function is not available!
It is a typical second-generation machine.
Does not have beyond visual range combat capability.
Among all the models of ‘Qi Ye’, the only one that qualifies as a 2.5-generation aircraft is the J-7G, which first flew after the millennium.
The J-7G is an improved version of the J-7E. It has been modified in more than 30 aspects, including radar, head-up display and head sight, bringing the overall performance of the aircraft to a new level.
The J-7G is equipped with a Doppler fire control radar, which finally achieves beyond-visual-range combat capabilities and can finally hit long-range air-to-air missiles.
But when the J-7G made its first flight, the J-10 Raptor was almost ready to serve in the army.
Six years after the J-7G entered service in the military (2012), Dongda’s first stealth fighter, the J-20 Raptor, also made its first successful flight.
It’s not just the J-20.
The second decade of the 21st century can be called a blowout decade for Dongda’s aerospace industry.
Subsequent improvements of the J-10 Raptor, J-11b, J-11bs, J-16, and even J-35 and other advanced fighters have been developed and served in the army.
This has enabled the strength of Dongda Air Force to develop by leaps and bounds.
No matter how superior the performance of the J-7G is, it is destined to be a failed product.
That’s not to say that the J-7G is not good.
But this aircraft is destined to lag behind the times after it was developed.
This is not to blame for the J-7G and the R&D team behind the J-7G.
To blame. It’s just that Dongda’s development is too fast.
However, the J-7 series fighter jets are too classic, and the Dongda Air Force owes too many debts.
So don’t talk about 2014.
Even ten years later, in 2024.
Some second-line units of the Dongda Air Force are still flying the ‘Qiye’.
You are getting older and stronger.
The J-7 high-education aircraft is a high-education aircraft developed by Qianzhou Aviation Group in 1981 based on the J-7II fighter jet. It first flew in July 1985 and was finalized in 1987.
This high-education aircraft is mainly used for flight training for J-7 and J-8 fighter pilots.
After the successful first flight of the JJ-7, it successfully filled the gap of Dongda University having no higher education aircraft.
In other words, the JJ-7 is also a typical second-generation aircraft and does not have beyond visual range combat capabilities.
So after listening to Zhang Yong’s complaint, Jiang Chen immediately smiled and said, “How is this unfair? The JJ-7 has a range-finding radar, but that thing doesn’t have over-the-horizon capabilities either. Combat capabilities, that is to say, although they can see far away, they can only attack when they are close.”
"They are here, can't we detect them?"
Ranging radar is not fire control radar.
The biggest difference is that when attacking an air-to-air missile, the 'enemy aircraft' must be within the effective range of the air-to-air missile, and then the missile's seeker will lock the 'enemy aircraft'.
That is to say.
The fighter plane that launches the missile cannot give orders to the missile through instructions.
But air-to-air missiles are either optically guided or infrared guided.
You can only rely on instinct to track the target.
The effect can be imagined!
In other words, what you are shooting is the fate bomb.
Moreover, today's confrontation drill can only involve close-range combat, and there is no part of launching air-to-air missiles.
"Having a range-finding radar is already very good. If I were to fly the J-7, after discovering the 'enemy plane', it would immediately split into two and outflank the front and rear. Do you think it would be a fight between two J-8s without a range-finding radar?" Win others?" Zhang Yong immediately retorted.
“Stop making noise~~~”
At this time.
Liang Zhenghong's voice sounded in the communication channel, "The two 'enemy planes' are less than 20 kilometers away from you, at your three o'clock direction, and they are here to serve as a grindstone for you. I’m not here to duel with you, why are you so worried?”
Less than twenty kilometers?
Three o'clock?
Jiang Chen’s expression instantly became solemn.
"'The Winged Tiger', use afterburner to climb higher, and grab the commanding heights first," he said immediately.
The words are not finished yet.
Jiang Chen had already pushed the throttle lever to the bottom and turned on the afterburner at the same time.
I saw him pulling the operating lever back and up.
The engine of this Jiao-8 trainer suddenly made a deafening roar.
The sound was deafening.
The nose of the aircraft was raised high, and the climbing angle even exceeded 70 degrees.
Continue to climb toward higher airspace.
Almost in the blink of an eye.
The speed of this Jiao-8 trainer aircraft exceeds one thousand kilometers per hour, and it is only more than two hundred miles away from supersonic speed.
‘Winged Tiger’ Zhang Yong is not to be outdone.
Following closely to the right side of Jiang Chen, he also climbed up with his head held high.
When the plane quickly climbed to three thousand meters, Jiang Chen pushed the stick forward and lowered his head, changing to level flight.
And when he was pushing the nose of the plane flat, he happened to see two small black dots in the distance, which were also climbing towards this side and quickly closing the distance.
These two little black spots.
It should be their ‘whetstone’ today.
