Chapter 669 F-16Z
"Asazle understands that invaders 3 and 4, you continue to maintain a low-altitude flight attitude and detour towards the defender's rear, warm up the Immortal Missiles, and maintain the highest alert."
"Invader No. 3 (4) was received and is actuating the an/apg-71 fire control radar. The rear detour began. The Immortal Missile is warming up, maintaining the highest alert." The two tomcat wingmen repeatedly confirmed Rick's order.
"Asazel, the enemy plane is determined, with a direction of 17 degrees, a distance of 11 kilometers, a height of 35 meters, a plane j1a, note that there are 4 plane jds at their meter altitude." The commander of Hawkeye 1 could clearly hear a hint of excitement.
"Hawkeye No. 1, I have turned on the weapon master switch and ready to fight at any time." After Rick said that, he pushed the driver's rod, the f14e's nose suddenly lifted up, and the inclination angle was approaching 45 degrees toward a high altitude.
Rick controlled the new Tomcat from its original low-altitude flight state and lifted the entire nose up to some angles. The direction of the Pla military aircraft was included in the main scanning fan of the an/apg-71 radar, but the computer has not been turned on yet to avoid exposing the target. He mainly relies on infrared passive detectors to retrieve the target orientation.
"Invaders 3 and 4, you will turn on the radar tracking and scanning parallel mode with both aircraft, aim at their Sky Eye and Map 154, and launch all the bombs. Don't keep them, I will keep the course unchanged." Rick said calmly.
The tracking and scanning parallel mode of the an/apg-71 radar is the most famous skill of the f14 fighter. In the parallel mode, the f14 fighter can track 24 targets at the same time and guide 6 Aim-54 "Immortal" air-to-air missiles to conduct multi-target attacks. However, in this one-to-multiple mode, the range of the Aim-54 missile should be controlled within 1 kilometer, otherwise it is easy to cause the missile to off-target. The an/apg71 radar upgraded from the agw-9 radar continues to maintain and carry forward this advantage. The supporting Immortal C-type missile can reach a maximum distance of 2 kilometers!
"Intruder No. 3 (4) understands."
At this time, the two new Tomcats had already flew 13 kilometers at an ultra-low altitude and gradually detoured to the rear of the Chinese fighter jet. Such a distance was only less than a few minutes for the f14e fighter that had cruised at Mach 1.5.
As the distance approaches, the Immortal Missiles equipped with the new Tomcat are locking on targets 15 kilometers away. The an/apg-71 fire control radar is short and dripping, and the dripping sound suddenly turns into a long and long sound.
"Lock them." The excitement in the voice of the pilot of Invader 3 (4) could no longer be suppressed.
"Kill them!" Rick ordered coldly.
"Please take the call, friends of China." Accompanied by the roar of missile launch, the two new Tomcat fighters trembled eight times in a row. Eight straight white lines as sharp as sharp blades were drawn out from under the belly and extended straight to the distant skyline.
Two huge aircraft of the China Pla Air Force are flying leisurely under the protection of four JDs.
"What is that." The radar operator of the "Sky Eye" early warning aircraft of the Yun-Eight Police saw from the surveillance screen that eight shining spots suddenly appeared 15 kilometers away, with their speed exceeding Mach three or even Mach four! And they are still accelerating and are rushing towards them!
"What the hell is this! Notify the defender No. 1. We will be attacked by the enemy!" The commander issued an order in a panic.
The four escort jds naturally did not dare to neglect and rushed over to intercept the "long-range missiles".
The Immortal Missile did not fly at low altitude. In order to reach its maximum range, it immediately climbed to a high altitude after launching and was discovered by the Sky Eye.
After the eight missiles flew out, the two new Tomcats did not return immediately. Although the Immortal Missiles were missiles with active radar seekers, their working distance was only forty kilometers. During the initial guidance stage, carriers still needed to be used to guide them.
Therefore, the pilot only needs to point the head of the aircraft at a target roughly so that the targets of the opponent's early warning aircraft and electronic jammers will not disappear from their own field of view. At the same time, the on-board computer constantly solves the calculations and sends the target data to the flying missiles.
The JD who rushed to pick up the enemy found that the Immortal Missile they were facing was climbing rapidly, and soon exceeded 20,000 meters, until it reached more than 24,000 meters, which was such an altitude. So the pl12a (Sky Flash Copyright) equipped by him had no chance to lock in the target.
Figure 154 electronic fighter quickly carried out full-frequency interference operations, but they obviously didn't know that the flying bird missiles mixed with anti-radiation models with passive seekers. The more disturbed the electromagnetic radiation signal is, the more obvious it will be, and the faster it will die!
At this time, the Immortal Bird finally accelerated to Mach 6, and it only took more than one minute to reach the active guidance range!
At the critical moment, the four JDs also became crazy. After barely launching their own PL series missiles, the JD pilot flew his own fighter plane and flew to the "Sky Eye" and Tu 154 to try to block the gun hole, while the attack missile was close at hand.
The director department of the "Fighting Formation" exercise field.
The pla army bosses looked at the electronic map in amazement, listening to the cold and electronic synthesized female voice: The director department announced that in the missile attack just now, the defender's "Sky Eye" early warning aircraft and three JDs were shot down, and an Immortal Missile Missile was off the target. The Immortal Warplane had a JD blocking gun, but because there were too many Immortal Missile Missiles, even if some Immortal Missiles failed to hit the target because of the JD blocking gun, the fragments of the sky lured by the missile warhead still made the Immortal 154 "scarred": an engine stopped working and had lost its combat effectiveness. The captain ordered to leave the battle and head towards the airport behind.
The director's department looked at each other. Out of politeness, the Pakistani generals beside him did not comment, but Old Arslan smiled in his heart, and he was doing beautifully, son! However, his wide Ray-Ban glasses covered his smug smile.
"Asazel, Asazel, five enemy aircraft have disappeared from the radar. Repeat once, five enemy aircraft have disappeared from the radar. The enemy's electronic warfare support has disappeared." The voice of the commander of the Hawkeye Early Warning Plane was full of excitement.
"All people pay attention, the Electromagnetic interference is implemented. All invaders restore the pulse Doppler search and interception mode, repeat once, and all fighters restore the pulse Doppler search and interception mode."
"Received, the pulse Doppler operating interception mode is being converted." The remaining fighter pilots answered in the radio.
The dark gray painted f14e has gradually risen to a height of about 5 meters. Large clouds floating in the airspace occasionally pass outside the transparent cockpit of the fighter jet. The deformed wing, which still maintains a cruising speed of Mach 7, has been closed to the smallest angle. From a distance, the body pulling the blue smoke at the tail looks like a cobra in an attack.
The four F16s in the invaders' team are also accelerating in the hollow, which will form a support for the new Tomcats at high altitudes.
The f16 is the main light air superiority fighter launched by the United States in 197. As the light combination of the f-15, the wing body fusion is excellent, the flight quality is also very excellent, and it has the characteristics of strong firepower and flexible maneuverability. Although the slightly conservative and compact single-engine fuselage design layout naturally greatly reduces the procurement and maintenance costs compared with the twin-engine fighter. This also reduces reliability in actual use, but its advanced performance, diverse combat capabilities, and full room for improvement are unquestionable.
The F16a/b-blok15 type introduced by Pakistan in the early years did not have the BVR "out-of-visual air combat" capability. In air combat, it can only use the Aim-9l infrared short-range missile, and cannot use the Aim-7m "Sparrow" semi-active radar-guided missile.
However, Mhamad tried to improve and upgrade on his own as early as the beginning of his introduction, and even handed over the f16 to Huaxia reverse surveying and mapping during his trip to China. Pakistani engineers and Chengfei Company slowly understood the characteristics of f16 and roughly determined the direction of f16's upgrade: that is, a single release schedule limits its potential for improving range, load and maneuverability. All improvements are generally concentrated in electronic equipment and weapon systems. As for range, they can be solved by installing a back-retaining fuel tank.
The main improvement measures include upgrading advanced weapons fire control systems, data link communication, precision navigation systems and advanced aiming pods. The upgrade also includes upgrading the universality of the data link systems that are common to fighter jets such as j1, f14, Feibao, etc., the joint helmet prompt system and aiming pods, the use of high-speed anti-radiation missiles and the combination of advanced photoelectric aiming pods.
The TK-2m joint helmet display system standard equipped by Pakistan and China air forces allows pilots to observe, lock and attack enemy targets in the blink of an eye. This system is more advanced than the Soviet helmet sights. It can not only display tactical information, but also display the altitude, airspeed, gravity acceleration and attack angle of the aircraft on a mask less than 76 mm from the pilot's right eye, thereby improving the pilot's understanding of the aircraft's state and combat conditions. The pilot only needs to look at the target and can quickly locate, track, identify and lock air and ground targets at a longer distance and altitude. Because the time when pilots and aircraft are exposed to potential enemy firepower areas is reduced, not only the lethality of pilots and aircraft is improved, but also their survivability is improved. Pilots can focus their attention outside the cockpit. Therefore, the chance of collisions in the air can be avoided.
At present, the 12 F16 Falcon fighter aircraft equipped by Pakistan have been improved and upgraded by Mhamad many times, and have basically met the standards of the F16-blok52 type in the early 21st century. They have the ability to launch Aim-9m and M infrared short-range missiles. "Sky Flash" active radar guided missiles, AGM-65 "Maverick" air-to-ground missiles, "Geshi Road" bug series laser guided bombs, Huaxia pl series air-to-air missiles, ft and lt series precision guided weapons. Interestingly, these
The modified and upgraded F16 fighter jets in the United States are called f16z. The letter "z" means China, as the name suggests, because in the eyes of the United States, without the help of the Chinese, those locals in Pakistan will not be able to upgrade such advanced fighter jets. Of course, China's Chengfei Company has indeed provided Pakistan with technical support for the upgrade and improvement of f16. They are very happy to use some of the j1a technologies on the f16 to verify the degree of integration of their own technologies in Western equipment and lay a solid foundation for expanding fighter jets and improving service business in the future.
