Chapter 432 Air Combat
January 18th!
After half a month of silence, the Jieke Group made another change, deploying troops and generals in preparation for launching a new round of large-scale ground offensive.
The main purpose of this armistice is to allow more troops from the Annan Kingdom to enter Siam, so as not to scare them away from sending troops for reinforcements, which would be bad.
However, before the large-scale ground offensive began, the fighter jets of the Jieko Group started the battle first.
Kachuan Airport in Zen Kingdom is the largest military airport in Zen Kingdom. There are more than 80 fighter planes in the airport.
In addition to some old third-generation fighters originally owned by the Zen government, there are also dozens of third-and-a-half- and fourth-generation fighter jets purchased from the Mao Xiong and Hua countries.
At the airport, Su Jie stood in front of a Mao Xiong fighter jet. This fighter jet had been modified beyond recognition.
The radar inside the fuselage was replaced by a bioradar, and outside the fuselage, the fuselage was covered with a thin layer of flesh membrane, and the wings had wisps of feathers and firefly patterns flashing, which looked extremely weird.
This is naturally Su Jie's masterpiece, because the Puppet Hall's research and development on air control puppets has not yet achieved results. The research on air combat puppets is more difficult than ground vehicles. Now that spider mechas have begun to serve, Su Jie gave the Puppet Hall a It's true that there has been little progress in the project to develop air control puppets.
As a last resort, Su Jie took action on his own, using the All-Changing Insect Code and the help of engineers to make magical modifications based on modern fighters.
The advantage is that the strength of the modified fighter jets has been enhanced, but the consequence is that the lifespan of the fighter jets is greatly reduced, and it is easy to be scrapped after only a few missions.
This is mainly because fighter planes are too sophisticated. Su Jie used them to enchant and transform them. They were too simple and crude. The precision instruments and parts inside the aircraft could not withstand it. It was like putting a fighter jet engine on a motorcycle. The fighter plane has to disintegrate after a few missions, which is very painful.
This kind of transformation is too expensive. The fighter itself is expensive to buy. The transformation also requires additional expenses, and all the spirit stones are used.
Ordinary spiritual stones are not enough, but if you get a middle-grade spiritual stone, it will be scrapped after just a few uses, so don’t feel bad!
This type of magically modified fighter aircraft is now collectively referred to as the Spirit Vulture fighter within the Jieco Group, because the magical modification was successful not long ago and there are currently only a small number of them.
The reason for suspending ground operations is to wait for these magically modified fighters. Before they have a certain degree of air superiority, they must at least be equal to each other. If they rashly launch an army-level ground operation, it will be too easy for the air force to bomb them.
"Commander, the First Flying Squadron is ready and can take off for combat at any time."
Next to him, the air force general of Zen Kingdom reported to Su Jie respectfully.
"Let's move out, we need to have a certain amount of air control."
Su Jie's eyes were deep and he issued the combat order.
Soon, 24 magically modified Spirit Vulture fighter jets took off, and there were also a lot of other fighter jets that took off one after another, all of which had not been modified.
Not only this airport, but also ordinary fighter planes took off from many military airports in the Zen Kingdom. Most of the fighter planes flew towards Siam, and a small number of them flew to Annan, Chenla and Lancang to give them greeting gifts for participating in the war.
Su Jie intends to increase the number of modified Spirit Vulture fighter jets during this period of truce. Currently, a squadron of 24 has been modified.
Because the Spirit Vulture fighter is expensive, not just the actual money, but the key point is that the magic modification of the Spirit Vulture fighter requires a lot of spirit stones.
Each time it is dispatched, it loses 1 point of durability, and the total durability of the fighter plane is only three or four points. Even if you have a mine at home, you can't afford to build it like this!
With such a ridiculous scrap rate, the price-performance ratio is not very good. Except for air combat and attacking high-value targets, ordinary air strikes are not practical and can only be used in key battles.
When Zen fighter planes take off one after another, such a large-scale air force presence cannot be hidden from the monitoring of ground radar stations.
In addition, Siam and Zen are too close to each other. As soon as Zen fighters are dispatched here, Siam receives the news and scrambles fighter planes to intercept and fight.
The radar stations deployed on the ground in the Zen Kingdom also captured Siam's fighter jet signals, and both sides were basically bright cards.
Thousands of meters above the sky, a shadow emerged from under the sea of clouds and quickly penetrated the clouds and sky.
Wu Boyan was wearing a mecha combat uniform and driving this magically modified Spirit Vulture fighter jet.
Yes, he is also a genetic warrior. A genetic warrior with enhanced perception, he can better cooperate with bioradar to detect enemies.
Nowadays, many parts of the fighter jet's cabin are covered with hyphae and sarcoma. Blood vessels are inserted into the mecha suit, allowing Wu Boyan to be linked to the fighter jet and fight more efficiently. This suit is used for the spider main battle mech. The driving system was transplanted to the Spirit Vulture fighter jet.
Such a fighter jet can only be used by the Jieco Group itself. Even if the manufacturer of the fighter aircraft comes, it will be difficult to maintain it, so the Jieco Group can only launch it itself.
"Alert alert, fighter signal found, fighter signal found, signal source coordinates are located..."
Suddenly, there was movement on the cockpit display.
Wu Boyan narrowed his eyes, veins popped out at the corners of his eyes, and the bioradar was operating at full power.
Bio-radar, which uses sound waves, electromagnetic pulses and infrared radiation, has great advantages in reconnaissance and has first discovered Siamese enemy aircraft beyond visual range.
In Wu Boyan's perception, the enemy plane had obviously not changed its course, and the enemy plane still had not noticed him.
The two most important indicators of modern fighter aircraft air combat are radar and stealth.
Because fighter planes are first to discover and destroy first, whoever can discover the enemy first in an air battle, or reduce the chance of being discovered, is the key to victory.
In addition to its powerful biological radar for detecting enemies, the Spirit Vulture fighter jet also has a fleshy membrane wrapped around the body that can effectively eliminate radar scanning. The radar reflection area is quite small, reaching the world's top level.
"Sending you on your way."
Wu Boyan did not hesitate and decisively controlled the launch of the missile.
The magazine under the belly of the aircraft was opened, and an active radar-guided medium-range air-to-air missile fell off. After it separated from the aircraft body, it was successfully cold-launched and ignited. The missile engine operated and flew forward at high speed.
After the missile was launched, Wu Boyan did not turn around and continued to use bioradar to continuously track and lock the target and guide the launched missile.
When the launched air-to-air missile entered the range of the active seeker, Wu Boyan released the radar illumination.
Only then did the enemy planes discover the incoming air-to-air missiles, make violent maneuvers and drop decoy bombs.
However, the opponent did not escape the lock of the air-to-air missile in the end. The missile's speed can reach several Mach per hour, which is much faster than a fighter plane. If his decoy bomb does not deceive the air-to-air missile, the chance of survival will drop a lot.
boom!
A Siamese JAS-39C/D Gripen fighter jet disintegrated in the air and turned into a fireball in the air.
As soon as the pilot flew out of the ejection seat, he was hit by flying shrapnel. When the parachute fell back to the ground, only the upper half of the pilot's body was brought back. The lower half of the body had already disappeared, and it was unknown where it fell. .
"Perfect."
A smile appeared on Wu Boyan's face. A missile destroyed the enemy's fighter plane worth tens of millions of dollars, giving him a good start in today's battle.
The plane he piloted turned around, and he was now in Siamese airspace. Looking down from a high altitude, he could see a Siamese city below. Wu Boyan lowered his flying altitude and flew across the city, causing the Siamese people below to scream and run around in panic, acting very arrogantly.
This move naturally attracted enemies for him, and soon other enemy planes found him. This was also Wu Boyan's purpose.
The Spirit Vulture fighter jets have excellent combat effectiveness. In order to prevent their attendance from being meaningless and wasting the opportunity to scrap the fighter jets, they need to become targets for attracting firepower and attract those enemy planes to kill them.
"It's another plane, I don't know what model it is."
Through bioradar, Wu Boyan once again found an enemy plane appearing outside the visual range. Shortly after pressing the missile to launch, he suddenly heard a series of urgent alarms.
"Alert, there are missiles coming from the 11 o'clock direction. Please avoid and avoid."
A frantic alarm sounded from the display screen of the aircraft. Wu Boyan's face was solemn. While throwing bait bombs, the aircraft began to maneuver significantly, turned on the fighter's afterburner, and increased its speed to above Mach 2.
The so-called aircraft afterburner refers to the use of afterburners by jet aircraft to gain speed at the expense of fuel consumption, allowing the aircraft to obtain greater thrust in a short period of time.
When Wu Boyan mobilized the thrust of the Spirit Vulture fighter, the enchanted array located in the engine burst out with powerful kinetic energy, providing the Spirit Vulture fighter with strong surging power while the engine trembled as if its cylinder was about to explode.
Wu Boyan saw the incoming missiles from the corner of his eye, and he kept escaping in his fighter plane.
Generally speaking, the flight state of an air-to-air missile is divided into two parts, one is powered flight, and the other is unpowered gliding.
The first half relies on the thrust of the engine, and the second half relies on the inertia of the missile to fly and gradually decelerate.
The most threatening aspect of air-to-air missiles is the first half, because at this time the missile flies the fastest and can soar to several Mach per hour, while the inertial flight speed will decrease and the threat to fighter aircraft will also decrease.
The speed of the Vulture fighter's afterburner burst is crucial. Wu Boyan bought himself two or three seconds. The thrust fuel of the air-to-air missile is generally only enough to fly for about ten seconds, and then it will enter inertial deceleration flight. At this time, the missile hits The rate will drop sharply.
By virtue of the acceleration, the Spirit Eagle fighter piloted by Wu Boyan avoided the fastest thrust acceleration of the air-to-air missile, causing its fuel consumption and the speed of the missile to drop. Coupled with Wu Boyan's control of the fighter's maneuverability, it narrowly avoided the incoming missile.
"What a risk! I almost lost my life."
Wu Boyan's heart was pounding, and he saw that the missile he launched did not hit the target.
By turning on the afterburner, the enemy plane caused the air-to-air missile it launched to exceed the maximum thrust stage. Then the enemy plane slid sideways at a large angle and threw away the missile without fuel thrust.
The two fighter jets were facing each other, and they had both turned on their afterburners just now. The distance of just tens of kilometers passed by in a flash, and both sides could already see each other and were within visual range.
"It turns out to be the F-35 sold to Siam by the beautiful Chinese army. No wonder it flies so fast."
Wu Boyan relied on the genetic warrior's vision to see clearly that the opponent's fighter plane was the F-35 stealth fighter of the beautiful country.
Siam originally purchased twenty F-35 fighter jets from the beautiful country. This thing costs hundreds of millions of dollars each and is the treasure of the Siamese Air Force.
"Wang Defa, what the hell is that?"
In the driver's seat of the F-35 stealth fighter, a black pilot was flying the fighter. He was Somjit Thorne, the special pilot of the beautiful country. After seeing the Greyhound fighter, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. Ghost expression.
He was treated as a mercenary by the beautiful country and joined the Siamese Air Force to help fight.
This was also the first time he took to the skies to fight in Siam, and he was stunned to see the Greyhound fighter jet, a half-mechanized, half-flesh aircraft.
The fuselage is not made of steel, but is covered with a layer of flesh. The nose and wings also have bones and wings, like a strange bird with its mouth open, revealing a mouth full of fangs.
Wu Boyan didn't care what the opponent thought. He decisively controlled the Spirit Vulture fighter plane to attack him. The distance between the two sides was too close. This distance was no longer enough for the missile to ignite and accelerate. The two sides had already entered a fighting distance, and the only thing they could trust was the cannon.
The competition at this time is to see who can do somersaults and sharp turns better.
Fighting between fighter planes and dogfights rarely occurs in modern air combat. Obviously, Wu Boyan encountered this rare situation today, but he was not afraid, but full of confidence.
"It's like shit. It's such an ugly plane. Watch me beat you down."
Somjiet yelled and cursed, pulled the control stick, and the fighter's nose was aimed at Wu Boyan, and the 25mm cannon was fired one after another, with tracer bullets mixed in to indicate the trajectory.
Wu Boyan smiled coldly. Without using his hands, he controlled the plane to turn and climb through the neural connection. The fighter plane flew straight up, and all the cannons fired missed.
Somjit's expression changed, he didn't realize it was bad, and wanted to change direction urgently, but by this time it was too late.
During Wu Boyan's climb, the plane flipped over and flew upside down, that is, the cockpit faced the earth and the belly of the plane faced the sky.
At this time, a normal pilot will produce a reversed negative G force, blood will suddenly rise to the head, and intracranial pressure will increase. The pilot will feel extremely painful, and the fighter may enter a stall and crash.
This is a game of skill and bravery, usually only operated by elite pilots and used in aerobatics performances.
However, Wu Boyan is a genetic warrior, so the pressure caused by the inverted flight will not cause him any discomfort. During the inverted flight, he pressed the nose of the aircraft down, and the fuselage rolled to lock on the F-35 fighter jet that was turning at a large angle.
"Bye bye, little chick, and return to the embrace of Mother Earth!"
With a chuckle at the corner of his mouth, Wu Boyan's five senses and nerve reactions were second to none in close combat.
He locked the nose of the aircraft on the F-35 fighter jet, while constantly making fine adjustments to maintain the balance of the fuselage, and fired the cannon calmly.
Each cannon showed a falling arc in the air, and Wu Boyan even calculated the arc of the cannon bullets' falling. The thick cannon bullets drilled large holes in the F-35 fighter jet, penetrating the aircraft's fuselage. body, destroying the delicate electronic instruments and engines inside into a mess.
In an instant, thick black smoke erupted from the fuselage and a fire broke out at the tail.
Somjit was unlucky to be hit by a machine bomb, his head was shattered by a machine cannon, and he didn't even have a chance to launch the ejection seat.
In the end, the stealth fighter plane worth hundreds of millions of dollars went straight down and crashed near a village. The fuel and missiles inside the plane were detonated, exploding a huge fireball in the air, frightening the villagers in the village.
"This is the second one. The standard for an ace pilot is to shoot down five fighter jets. I don't know if I have a chance to achieve it."
Wu Boyan whistled excitedly, extremely excited about his victory.
He couldn't wait to continue flying fighter jets, looking for the next enemy plane that dared to take off, viewing them as his qualifications to become an ace pilot.
