Chapter 300 To fight or not to fight?
The weather is not very good today.
No!
It should be said that the weather changes too quickly.
It was still sunny and cloudy in the morning, but now it has become cloudy.
A large group of clouds was carried southward by the northwest wind.
Now it has almost enveloped the entire Xinyang.
However, weather of this level still cannot affect the flight safety of the aircraft.
Nonsense.
If it is cloudy, it will affect the flight safety of the aircraft.
So there are 365 days in a year, and it is estimated that only a few dozen days are suitable for flying.
It is twelve thirty in the morning.
Jiang Chen drove the T-8 trainer aircraft painted in blue and white and plunged into the clouds.
After he climbed the plane for more than a thousand meters, he finally broke out of the cloud barrier.
The dazzling sunshine shines on the clouds.
It's like a golden ocean.
Jiang Chen piloted the plane and soared freely over this golden ocean.
Like an albatross that likes to chase the waves.
"Dongguai, the target has now drifted to Airspace No. 1. You immediately adjust the course to 1-4-2. After arriving in Airspace No. 1, search forward slowly. When you find the target, ask for instructions before firing."< br>
This time.
Liang Zhenghong's voice came from the communication channel again.
“Understood.” Jiang Chen immediately agreed.
Pilot the plane to complete the turn in the air.
Turn around and face south.
Plunged into the clouds again.
Airspace No. 1 is south of Xinyang.
Already approaching the Jianghuai area.
Tsk.
The evil wind today is really strong.
In just over two hours, several balloon targets were blown so far away.
Fortunately, these balloon targets have positioning devices.
The tower can keep track of its tracks.
Otherwise.
Even if Jiang Chen is given ten days and a half, he may not be able to find these balloon targets.
Flying about a hundred kilometers south.
Jiang Chen has already entered the No. 1 airspace.
He immediately pressed the rod forward and bowed his head.
While descending, also opened the speed brake halfway to slow down the speed.
The weather in Airspace 1 is obviously much better.
No cover from clouds.
The sun shines directly on the earth.
The visibility is also much clearer.
Back row.
Liu Yun also noticed that the speed of the plane dropped to about half of the cruising speed in an instant.
I couldn’t help but remind him, “Jiang Chen, pay attention to your speed.”
Jiang Chen glanced at the airspeed indicator.
It was still within my control,
so I immediately replied, "Understood, no problem."
As long as there is no turbulent airflow that interferes with the aircraft The posture is balanced and it doesn't matter if the speed is slower.
Jiang Chen agreed.
Then he looked around to find his target.
Unknowingly.
He flew forward for about twenty kilometers.
The height also dropped from more than three thousand meters to seven or eight hundred meters.
Because of the guidance from the tower, Jiang Chen had already seen the first target without much effort.
"Tower, the first balloon target has been discovered. Do you want to hit it?" Jiang Chenhui reported.
Liang Dong did not hesitate, "Hit, pay attention to speed and height."
"Yes."
Received the firing order.
Jiang Chen immediately flew the plane towards the balloon target.
But when he approached the balloon target, he realized that he had unknowingly arrived above a town.
Whether it is the Central Plains region or the Jianghuai region, they are both densely populated areas in our country.
It has been a land of plenty since ancient times.
So it’s not unusual for a town to appear below. Well!
It is not unusual for a town to appear below.
But Jiang Chen was in trouble.
Firstly, the height of the balloon target is too low, only two to three hundred meters.
The second is that there is a densely populated area below.
If you rashly fire live ammunition in a densely populated area, what if it causes a safety accident?
and.
Because the height of the balloon target was too low, Jiang Chen could only lower the altitude and fire diagonally upward.
This will prevent stray bullets from hitting the ground.
But this is the case.
He has to fly lower than the balloon target.
Oh shit!
To fight or not to fight?
You need to bear certain risks when playing.
If I don’t hit it, who knows where this balloon target will be blown by the wind?
This is not far from the Yangtze River Delta.
As one of the most economically developed regions in the Republic, the Yangtze River Delta is also the region with the densest air routes.
There are countless flights passing through here every day.
If this balloon target floats onto the take-off and landing routes of civil aviation, it will always be a safety hazard.
What if it really collided with a plane?
Responsibility is a small matter.
Hundreds of lives are a big deal.
Think of this.
Jiang Chen’s heart skipped a beat!
Hit!
Dozens of kilometers away.
Two Su-30mkk fighter jets were rushing toward this airspace at lightning speed.
Just ten minutes ago.
The alarm suddenly sounded at Wuhu Wanli Station.
Sudden warning from ground radar.
Three slow-moving UFOs suddenly ‘floated’ from the northeast of Wanli Field Station.
Based on the research and judgment of relevant departments.
These three slow-moving ‘UFOs’ should be three balloons or unmanned airships.
But because the 'UFO' is about to enter the Yangtze River Delta region.
So the superiors ordered the 'Wang Hai Brigade' stationed at Wanli Field Station to urgently take off two combat-ready fighter planes and rush to deal with it.
The detection of air defense radar is relatively accurate.
Even small aircraft such as balloons or unmanned airships still cannot escape the radar's 'golden eye'.
The Republic Air Force has positioned itself as a defensive air force in recent decades.
Since it is necessary to defend.
First of all, you have to be able to 'discover'.
So the combat effectiveness of the Republic Air Force radar unit has always been very strong.
As early as the 1990s, it already had the ability to detect the F-117 stealth attack aircraft.
As for the construction of radar units of the three armed forces.
The Air Force radar unit has always been at the forefront.
However, because this unit is extremely confidential, there is not much publicity to the outside world, so it is rarely known.
Just like Lao Lu’s electronic interference force, no matter how awesome the special forces are, it cannot match the level of confidentiality.
"Biyibird, the tower is calling, please answer." In the cockpit of a Su-30mkk fighter jet, a pilot in his thirties heard the voice on the communication channel and immediately replied, "Biyiniao, please answer." "
"It has been verified clearly that the 'UFO' is indeed the balloon target released by the Air Force today, and that plane is also the plane sent by the Air Force itself to 'hunt' the balloon target. You can go. Take a look and help if you need help."
Hear the announcement from the tower.
The pilot suddenly became a little bored.
Just when the two Su-30mkk rushed to the 'incident airspace'.
Ground radar detected another plane.
According to the radar reflection surface analysis, this aircraft is a TJ-8 trainer aircraft.
Since it is a Jiao-8 trainer aircraft.
Then it should be friendly forces.
So Wanli Field Station reported the situation and ordered the two Su-30mkk to continue rushing for detection.
After a few minutes.
The two Su-30mkk fighter jets have already flown to the ‘airspace where the incident occurred’.
And when they see below.
A J-8 trainer aircraft painted in blue and white is looking up in the low-altitude airspace.
When aiming at a balloon target with an upward attack.
There was a smile on their faces.
How dare you fly an outdated trainer aircraft like the T-8 to attack upwards in ultra-low altitude airspace?
The pilot is quite fierce.
Haha!
Interesting!
