Chapter 676 Bai Xiong: It’s not me, don’t slander me!
Omaga, is this crazy?
The reconnaissance aircraft in the sky actually flew out at a speed of Mach 1.5!
You must know that the fastest flight speed of the U-2 reconnaissance aircraft is only Mach 0.8. Although the Eagle Tribe's more advanced and faster high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft are already under construction, it has not been put into actual testing and naturally cannot be used. "Damn it, which country does this reconnaissance aircraft belong to?"
"Its advanced level is far beyond our active reconnaissance aircraft."
Bownsmit was very unhappy. He filtered all the tribes in his mind, but he did not take the Longxia tribe Air Force seriously.
In fact, he can't be blamed, because looking at the entire Blue Star, the Longxia Air Force is backward. It was sanctioned by the White Bear Tribe not long ago. The technology it mastered could not create such an advanced reconnaissance aircraft.
Naturally, he targeted the White Bear Tribe.
Because the White Bear Tribe Air Force inherited the air force of the Su League period and even inherited the best aircraft design and manufacturing bureaus on the Blue Star, Sukhoi and Migoyang!
This fighter must be a new reconnaissance aircraft developed by the White Bear Tribe!
"It seems that the White Bear Tribe has not forgotten to continue to mess with the Dongzhou waters, and actually sent a reconnaissance plane to come." Bornsmit was quite unhappy.
In just half a minute, Dark Sword One flew out of the radar and detected the maximum range.
At this time, the second F18 Hornet fighter took off immediately and rushed towards the target.
In just a few minutes, Dark Sword One flew out hundreds of kilometers, and it was probably not that easy for two F18 fighters to catch up.
What's more, the maximum flight speed of the F18 fighter is only Mach 1.8.
Watching Dark Sword One disappearing into the radar screen, Bowensmit's face became particularly gloomy, and his fists couldn't help but clenched a lot. The humiliation made him extremely angry!
The flight altitude of 25km is a very terrifying height for many countries on Blue Star, and it is out of reach! Even reconnaissance aircraft are rarely achieved, let alone fighter aircraft.
Even a lot of surface-to-air missiles cannot reach, not to mention that the maximum flight altitude of Dark Sword One reaches 26km!
The White Bear Tribe's surface-to-air missiles have shot down U-Old 2, but that has also taken some effort. Bowensmit is not sure that the White Bear Tribe will not accelerate its research in this area and create more advanced surface-to-air missiles.
However, Bowensmit is very clear that the maximum shooting height of Patriot 2 surface-to-air missiles equipped by the Eagle Tribe can reach 24 kilometers, while the missiles of the national missile defense system can reach 30 kilometers.
And this type of missile is already installed on the Aegis cruiser, and he can use it to shoot down the reconnaissance aircraft, but this is the last resort.
On this height alone, the Eagle Tribe threw the rest of the tribes on the Blue Star far behind.
Bownsmit was also helpless because the Dark Sword One was really too far from the Carl aircraft carrier.
That was about 200 kilometers away and 25km above. Even if the Aegis cruiser in the Carl aircraft carrier fleet was equipped with the most advanced air defense missiles, it was beyond the reach and there was no way!
That feeling of powerlessness made Bowensmit feel very unhappy. It was the first time that this situation happened to him in the army in so many years!
In the past, other countries were stared at by the US military unscrupulous reconnaissance, but they never thought that this feeling would fall on his head today, completely like a rebellion against Tiangang.
Of course, the sudden reconnaissance activity did not affect his implementation of the original plan!
Even though it was not clear what purpose the reconnaissance aircraft was conducting reconnaissance on them, Bowensmit was not disturbed at all and still ordered the Carl aircraft carrier fleet to march towards the target waters.
At this moment, he was also worried. I wonder how much intelligence the reconnaissance plane left with?
In addition, there is another point, why at this time, the White Bear Tribe's reconnaissance opportunities appeared in the Pacific Ocean to conduct such unbridled reconnaissance activities.
The time you choose is too good, right?
When he was scraping his stomach, a light suddenly flashed out of his head.
"Is it possible that the White Bear Tribe and the Long Xia Tribe are just superficially disagreements, for other countries to see? But in fact, the two tribes have reached some kind of military alliance? So the White Bear Tribe took out such secret weapons and ran to the Pacific region to conduct reconnaissance? Make targeted deployment based on this?"
As soon as this idea appeared, it spread rapidly, making Bowensmit feel that the possibility was the greatest.
"If this is true, then this action will be exposed and I have to make some changes to the plan."
Bownsmit murmured to himself, his expression becoming more serious.
He doesn't have to worry about the Longxia tribe, nor does he need to take it seriously, but when facing the old rival of the White Bear Tribe who has fought with the Eagle Tribe for decades, he needs to pay attention to it, and even the entire Western Alliance dare not take it lightly.
Although the Navy of the Longxia Tribe is strong enough, it poses a significant threat to the aircraft carrier fleet and has many advanced warships, the White Bear Tribe is strong. In addition to having an aircraft carrier fleet, it also has a strong air force.
If there was a full-scale confrontation, the people of the Eagle Tribe Command would not take the Air Force of the White Bear Tribe seriously, but now they have only dispatched three aircraft carrier fleets.
In this Dongzhou sea area, the White Bear Tribe also has many military bases to help, and there is also a Pacific fleet.
Thinking of this, Bowensmit's face became solemn, and he felt a bad premonition in his heart.
The next second, he looked at the communications soldier and ordered directly: "Contact the combat team immediately, be sure to shoot down the damn reconnaissance plane for me! You must not let it go back!"
"Yes!"
The communications soldier immediately contacted the two F18 hornet aircraft that had taken off just now and issued the order.
Even so, Bowensmit felt that this was not enough, so he immediately continued to order the communications trooper: "Contact the headquarters immediately and tell them the news that we found the White Bear Tribe reconnaissance aircraft, and let our headquarters inform each department to take precautions in this regard." "Report all the relevant data of the reconnaissance aircraft we learned." The communications trooper immediately responded: "Yes!"
At this moment, there was a very busy scene in the main control room of the Carl nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and several communications troopers were working together to carry out different tasks!
On the other side, over the western Pacific Ocean, Xie Zhenyu was controlling Dark Sword One to fly quickly in the direction of the Longxia tribe, staring at the radar screen from time to time.
At this moment, about 200 kilometers behind Dark Sword 1, the first F18 hornet that took off at this moment had already reached a maximum speed of Mach 1.8, staring at it like a wolf, without relaxing for a moment, and quickly approaching.
And further away, the second wingman F18 Hornet, which was urgently launched, was still on the way.
Looking at the target that was approaching quickly on the radar monitor, Xie Zhenyu couldn't help but frown, and secretly contemplating the specific performance of the F18 Hornet fighter behind him. "The speed has reached Mach 1.8 and is still flying at an extreme altitude of 15km. This should be the latest F18 Hornet fighter of the Eagle Tribe, right?"
After a lot of performance data about the F18 Hornet appeared in his mind, including the various types of air-to-air missiles it carries, as well as related weapon systems.
As a top ace pilot of the Longxia tribe, he naturally knows the performance of all fighter models of the US military.
"I don't know which batch of F18 fighter jets this is. Forget it, no matter which batch it is, it will definitely not be allowed to get close to me within 100 kilometers!"
He knew very well that once the distance was closer to 100 kilometers, the F18 Bumblebee could use air-to-air missiles to attack. For large reconnaissance aircraft like Dark Sword One, it was quite dangerous.
Of course, there are two air-to-air missiles under the hanger of Dark Sword One, and they can strike targets at long distances and use them for self-defense, but there are only two.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
In addition to the two air-to-air missiles, the tail of the aircraft also has metal foil strips and releases bait bombs.
Combined with the current speed of Mach 1.5, Xie Zhenyu felt that he still had a chance to escape. If he didn't help, he would just pull Mach 2 and fly Dark Sword 1 back to the mainland no matter what he said.
In order to avoid the concerns of Su Dingping and others, he did not report the news that he was targeted by the carrier-based aircraft F18 Bumblebee of the Eagle Tribe aircraft carrier, but wanted to rely on his flight technology to avoid the attack.
Of course, the most important thing is that when he comes out to perform the reconnaissance mission, he is ready to sacrifice! "Haha, the wingman finally appeared, and two F18 fighters were dispatched at the same time. I really gave me Xie Zhenyu a face."
Seeing another fighter jet with the same signal source appear on the radar screen, Xie Zhenyu couldn't help but curse a self-deprecating sneer on the corner of his mouth, and his blood all over his body also boiled.
Next, he continued to rush at Mach 1.5. As long as he persisted for a while, he would be able to return to the waters of the Longxia tribe. At that time, he and Dark Sword One would be safe.
The two are at a speed of Mach 0.3, and it takes more than half an hour to shorten the distance by 160 kilometers.
He carefully calculated in his mind that in more than half an hour, with the current flight speed of Dark Sword One, he almost arrived in the East Desert Sea in more than half an hour, and he could be caught up and had the first confrontation.
"There are not only opportunities to survive, but also quite great." Xie Zhenyu comforted himself in his heart.
And 200 kilometers behind the Dark Sword One, the first F18, also the pilot of the long aircraft, felt extremely annoyed and very unhappy at this moment.
Dark Sword No. 1 was just scrupulous of running away, and did not engage in any entanglement with him, nor did he give him this opportunity. This made him have no other way except to chase him desperately. "Damn bastard, when did the pilot of the White Bear Tribe become so timid? A coward, he didn't even give me the chance to fight!" The pilot cursed with dissatisfaction.
He did not think that fighting a reconnaissance plane with a fighter was an extremely unfair battle. It was like an unarmed ordinary man fighting with a soldier armed to his teeth, which was a very shameless behavior.
Even, he felt that Dark Sword One should wait for him and asked him to shoot it down!
"Fake, a reconnaissance aircraft can actually fly at supersonic speed for such a long time, which is really annoying to me!"
Seeing Dark Sword One continues to fly at high speed, the pilot swears, which really makes him a headache.
After cursing for a while, he turned on the communicator helplessly and communicated with the aircraft carrier. "Report to the captain, the target is still flying at a speed of Mach 1.5. It will take some time to shoot it down. I am striving to catch up." After receiving such news, Captain Bowensmit called the head of the aviation department immediately and asked him to calculate the time required between the two.
After some calculations, he found that it would take at least forty-five minutes to chase the opponent and shot it down.
Even if there is a height difference between the two, the medium-range air-to-air missile carried by the F18 Bumblebee can completely shoot it down as soon as it is discovered.
If the distance is too far, although the radar can detect it, the missile's range is not enough, and there may be no chance to shoot down the mysterious reconnaissance aircraft.
After being the captain of the aircraft carrier for so many years, this is the first time that Bowens feels that the F18 fighter is too slow. If it can be faster, it would be great if it exceeds Mach two.
Of course he didn't know that the Dark Sword One fuselage was larger than the F18 Bumblebee and loaded with more fuel, so he could naturally maintain a long-term supersonic flight.
Mach 1.5 is still Xie Zhenyu is confident in his flight technology. Otherwise, turning on the maximum flight speed of Mach 2 can completely increase the distance between the two.
Of course, even if you maintain this current speed, the fuel consumption is quite terrifying.
Supersonic cruise requires after all, which is equivalent to allowing the two engines to directly inject the fuel at the tail, rather than injecting it into the combustion chamber inside the engine. "It would be great if the new generation of stealth fighter F22 was equipped. This would not happen at that time." Captain Bowensmit sighed helplessly.
Of course, he didn't know that the current F22 Raptor fighter is only used for the Air Force, not for the Navy Air Force as a carrier-based aircraft.
However, the maximum flight speed of the F18 fighter is indeed not as good as that of the F22, which has supersonic cruise.
The only F35 Fei Electric fighter is equipped with the naval force.
