Chapter 430 If we don’t shoot down this drone that invades the airspace, the airspace will become a no-man’s land
Humphreys Barracks.
Inside the drone command center.
Drone operator Lieutenant Tom remotely controlled the RQ-180 stealth unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, while his partner Lieutenant Jerry kept using shooting equipment to take pictures of military targets below.
But when the two work together.
When preparing to shoot the last few videos and then evacuate.
Lieutenant Tom was shocked to find out.
Just in front and below the RQ-180 UAV, there was an additional J-7 Fish Nest fighter.
Aren't the J-7 Yuwo fighter jets conducting exercises in the airspace below?
When did you fly to an altitude of 10,000 meters?
Yes.
The ceiling altitude of the J-7 Yuwo fighter can reach about 20,000 meters.
However, this fighter is a fighter that is good at low altitude and low speed. Without special combat missions, it rarely climbs to an altitude of 10,000 meters.
Could it be that he was exposed?
impossible! ! !
The RQ-180 drone is a stealth drone.
Forget about Dongda.
Even the U.S. military has not deployed meter-wave radar that can detect stealth aircraft.
But now the facts are before our eyes.
And stealth aircraft are not stealth in the physical sense.
That is to say.
Stealth aircraft are only invisible to radar, not to the naked eye.
Now 'I' am staring at each other with this J-7 fish nest.
Unless the pilot of the J-7 Fish Nest fighter was blind, he might not have noticed 'himself'.
Because the distance between the two planes is only a few kilometers.
And the weather is so good today.
The sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky.
So Lieutenant Tom was stunned for a moment, and immediately panicked, "Sir, it's exposed, I've been exposed."
Lieutenant Colonel Hans, who was smoking a cigar, listened.
Come over right now.
He asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
The partner next to him also quickly looked towards Lieutenant Tom.
Lieutenant Tom immediately pointed at the screen and said, "See, there is an additional J-7 Fish Nest fighter here. The distance between me and the opponent is only about three miles (miles are the unit of distance in the United States, three miles is about five kilometers)."
A short distance of three miles.
Unless the other pilot is scared, he might not be able to see it.
Therefore, Lieutenant Colonel Hans did not hesitate and immediately ordered, "Return, return immediately."
"Yesir."
Whoosh~~~
Jiang Chen watched helplessly as the RQ-180 drone in front of him suddenly accelerated and rushed out like a sharp arrow from a string.
Although he has not escaped Jiang Chen's sight for the time being.
But if the other party continues to fly at the current speed of nearly a thousand miles.
It won't be long before the 'enemy plane' disappears completely.
However, Jiang Chen's reaction speed was also very fast.
When he discovered that the 'enemy plane' was about to escape.
Immediately push the throttle lever and increase the afterburner.
He chased the RQ-180 that was escaping to the southeast.
The RQ-180 is a stealth drone.
If he were out of Jiang Chen's sight, he would probably really let the other party escape and ascend to heaven.
nonsense!
Our own radar could not find any trace of this RQ-180 at all.
The sky is vast and boundless.
Without the guidance of ground radar.
Even if the Fengtian Military Region immediately scrambled all fighter jets, they probably wouldn't be able to find the 'enemy planes'.
It’s no different than finding a needle in a haystack.
Rumble~~~Rumble~~~
The next second.
The J-7E fighter also erupted with a deafening roar.
The plane accelerated in vain.
Then he chased fiercely toward the northeast.
The pointer of the airspeed indicator also jumped from more than 600 miles to 1,000 miles in an instant. There are only more than 200 miles left to reach supersonic speed.
"Tower. Qianzhi Donkey called, now the enemy plane has been alerted and is fleeing from northwest to southeast at a speed of about 1,000 miles per hour. I have caught up now, but my fuel level will not last long. Please send a fighter plane immediately. Come to support, please send fighter planes to come to support immediately”
When Jiang Chen's voice sounded in the control hall.
Nan Qiao, the supervisor on duty, was so angry that he smashed the cup on the ground.
He said angrily, "What did you do? Why did you suddenly alert the snake?"
A lieutenant quickly replied, "Report, it should be the Russian fleeing fighter plane that alerted the 'enemy plane'."
"Didn't I order all participating planes except Qianzhi Donkey to return and land? Why didn't the Russian plane obey the tower's order?" Nan Qiaoyi roared.
Everyone else looked at each other.
Because they didn't know why the Russian participating aircraft suddenly climbed to an altitude of 11,000 meters.
And by chance, he actually came face to face with that RQ-180.
Nan Qiao knew it was too late to say anything now.

I saw him calm down.
Then he said to the correspondent, "Tell Qian Zhilu to do everything possible to follow the 'enemy plane', and the support will arrive in ten minutes at most."
"Yes."
Although the order was given.
But Nan Qiaoyi is still anxious.
The whole person is like an ant on a hot pot.
Because there is a game today.
Therefore, although there are pilots on duty at Dafangshen Airport, the apron, runway, and airspace are all freed up for both participating parties.
Now suddenly there's an emergency takeoff.
Just clear the apron and runway first.
And they also have to load live ammunition into the emergency fighter planes.
nonsense.
If it is not loaded with live ammunition, what is the difference between it and Jiang Chen in the sky?
Is it possible to persuade the drone that invaded the airspace to surrender through broadcasting?
So being able to take off in an emergency within ten minutes is already the ideal situation.
As for other airports?
Liao Province does have two military airports.
But the distance is too far.
So now we can only rely on Qian Zhilu to pursue the enemy aircraft and then scramble fighter planes from the airport as quickly as possible to rush to support.
Received instructions from the tower.
After Jiang Chen glanced at the fuel tank, he also sighed.
well!
Ten minutes, right?
You should be able to hold on.
Can the support fighters really arrive within ten minutes?
It’s a bit suspenseful!
But that’s it.
This is already the best way.
So Jiang Chen gritted his teeth and continued to maintain the current speed to catch the enemy planes escaping to the southeast.
Just hold on until the support fighters arrive in time.
By then, the drone can be shot down with cannons.
Mahler Gobi.
The Americans bully people too much.
You can bully Beibang.
He actually wanted to bully even Dongda University.
If I don't kill your stealth drone this time, which costs hundreds of millions of dollars, I will kill you.
I guess next time you will really regard Dongda’s airspace as uninhabited territory.
The RQ-180 stealth drone is valuable.
The cost price is at least hundreds of millions of dollars.
What?
How can a drone be so expensive?
To know.
The cost of a Global Hawk is more than $50 million.
The RQ-180 is much more advanced than the Global Hawk, and is painted in stealth paint and adopts a stealth design.
It has only been equipped with the US military not long ago.
Therefore, it is normal for an RQ-180 to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
If this RQ-180 drone invading the airspace could be shot down, the cliff would cause the Americans to suffer for a long time.
